“I forgot to bring it inside.”
Gu Minghe explained in a very serious tone.
However, after hearing this, Pei Huaiyue’s gaze subconsciously looked toward the black boxer briefs on the bedside table. The moment his vision touched them, his face couldn’t help but burn up.
All of Gu Minghe’s intimate apparel was personally purchased by Pei Huaiyue; he was very familiar with every single piece.
And every single piece had been lightly toyed with by his fingers or the tips of his toes.
Pei Huaiyue couldn’t help but feel his body heating up, his heartbeat drumming like a thunderclap.
In a daze, he rose and walked to the bedside. With snow-white, slender fingers hooking the underwear, he walked toward the bathroom.
The livestream comments exploded upon seeing this.
Holy shit, what’s the situation? I only left for a moment; how did it develop into something I can’t understand?
Gu Minghe forgot to take his underwear when showering and asked Pei Huaiyue to help him get it. No, buddy, did you reallyforget to take it? How come I don’t believe you?!
The way Pei Huaiyue is hooking the edge of Gu Minghe’s underwear with his fingers is so sultry.
Isn’t the size of Gu Minghe’s underwear a bit too large??
Pei Huaiyue’s hands are so small, yet the film emperor’s underwear is so big; I’ve already started imagining the body-size gap. (Covering face)
I always feel like Gu Minghe is intentionally seducing Pei Huaiyue.
The netizens camping in the livestream room, regardless of whether they disliked Pei Huaiyue or liked him, all felt like they were “shipping” them at this moment.
Pei Huaiyue dawdled his way to the bathroom door, his tone very reserved: “I brought it to you; open the door.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bathroom door swung open with a swish.
Pei Huaiyue instantly widened his eyes as well.
However, the abdominal muscle and pectoral muscle “welfare” he expected to see was not visible at all. Gu Minghe was wrapped tightly in a bathrobe, with nothing exposed that shouldn’t be.
Meeting those pair of eager little kitten eyes, Gu Minghe chuckled in a low voice: “Want to see?”
“Not at all!” Pei Huaiyue denied with a flushed face.
“My body is only for my wife to see.”
“Then your wife might have already gotten tired of looking at it.” Pei Huaiyue let out a soft snort.
Gu Minghe smiled and reached out toward him. “Where are my boxer briefs?”
Pei Huaiyue had clenched Gu Minghe’s boxer briefs tightly at some point, and the sweat on his palms had dampened the thin fabric, with a trace of the little kitten’s milky fragrance unique to Pei Huaiyue still lingering on them.
Gu Minghe took the boxer briefs, felt the fabric that was somewhat damp, and said in a meaningful tone: “How come it’s all wet? What did you do to it?”
“What could I possibly do to your boxer briefs!”
The little kitten was ashamed into anger, reaching out and pushing him back into the bathroom. “Hurry up and go in and wash!”
However, the movement was too forceful, and his hand accidentally pulled down Gu Minghe’s bathrobe. Just as it looked like he was about to provide a massive welfare segment to the livestream room, Gu Minghe acted with lightning speed and slammed the bathroom door shut with a bang!
Oh my, why did he close the door? I haven’t seen anything yet!
Gu Minghe’s speed is way too fast!
Didn’t expect Gu Minghe, who looks so cold and aloof, to actually know how to joke with people. Pei Huaiyue was even teased into puffing up in anger by him; too fun.
Is he joking? Why do I feel like he’s venting his frustrations for his older brother and sister-in-law? Pei Huaiyue obviously can’t handle it; won’t he be brutally toyed with by Gu Minghe?
Speaking of Pei Huaiyue, no, where did he go?
In front of the bathroom door, there was no sign of anyone.
Inside the bathroom shrouded in misty steam, Gu Minghe lay on his back on the floor. His bathrobe was wide open at the chest, revealing a sturdy, robust torso. Droplets of water that hadn’t had time to be wiped dry trickled bit by bit along the clearly defined gullies of his muscles.
Pei Huaiyue was straddling his waist, his gaze following the trajectory of the water droplets, his mouth growing increasingly parched.
“Baby, help me wipe it dry, okay?”
Gu Minghe lowered his voice, seducing the already dazed Pei Huaiyue.
“Okay.”
Pei Huaiyue had long since forgotten where he was, moving only according to his heart. His soft, small hands covered Gu Minghe’s hard abdominal muscles, helping him wipe away the water stains bit by bit.
Yet, the more he wiped, the more water there was on his hands. He couldn’t tell where it was flowing out from, and Pei Huaiyue was almost crying from anxiety.
“Boo-hoo hubby, I can’t wipe it dry.”
“Baby, don’t be afraid, hubby will help you.”
Was Pei Huaiyue pulled into the bathroom by Gu Minghe?
He’s been in there for five minutes; why haven’t they come out yet?
What are they doing in there?!
The quality of this anti-peeping glass is way too good; I can’t even see a shadow.
The netizens in the livestream room were already losing their patience.
Could it be that Gu Minghe was also bewitched by Pei Huaiyue’s beauty?
That’s impossible, right? Even if Gu Minghe were willing, Pei Huaiyue wouldn’t be willing, right? Doesn’t he keep saying he only likes Gu Yanchen? How could he possibly make a move on Gu Minghe?
I think Gu Minghe is angry. He must be brutally disciplining Pei Huaiyue inside to keep him from playing tricks and using schemes!
I’m relieved now that Gu Minghe is watching Pei Huaiyue. Recently, he shouldn’t have any time to stir up trouble with the Gu-Su pair.
Stop talking, they’re out, they’re out!
After about ten minutes, Pei Huaiyue came out.
His expression was normal, his footsteps somewhat unsteady as he returned to the bed, pulling the quilt up to cover himself. The heat from his face surged up continuously; he simply didn’t dare to imagine what had happened in the bathroom just now.
Gu Minghe actually used his fingers to help him.
Pei Huaiyue’s face was intensely flushed.
He and Gu Minghe had already divorced; what did this count as?
“Friends with benefits”?
But they hadn’t even gone that far.
That should just be mutual help between friends, right!
Pei Huaiyue thought about it in a daze, completely forgetting about his plan to keep his distance from Gu Minghe.
And at this time, Gu Minghe also finished washing and came out.
He rubbed his slightly aching wrist. When he had been knocked over by Pei Huaiyue earlier, his arm had scraped against the ground, leaving a large bruise.
However, he didn’t take this minor accident to heart.
Returning to the room, seeing Pei Huaiyue hunched into a small mountain peak under the covers, the corners of his lips pulled into a very shallow arc.
The livestream was turned off when they went to sleep at night.
As someone who had recorded many variety shows, Gu Minghe was very experienced and used clothes to cover the camera.
Seeing the camera being covered, Pei Huaiyue’s hand gripping the quilt felt a bit nervous.
He blinked his eyes. Could it be that Gu Minghe wanted to sneak-attack him in the middle of the night?
Thinking of this, he was so nervous he couldn’t fall asleep, and deep in his heart, a secret sense of anticipation actually arose.
However, after the lights went out, he waited and waited, but Gu Minghe never came. Gradually, sleepiness rushed over him; Pei Huaiyue let out a yawn and fell into a deep sleep.
Pei Huaiyue had overslept again when he woke up in the morning.
He rubbed his messy hair, looking at Gu Minghe’s empty bed beside him, and felt a bit lost in his heart.
Gu Minghe actually hadn’t come to climb into his bed last night. Had he really stopped liking him because of the divorce?
Pei Huaiyue was lost in wild fantasies; however, his heart settled down again upon seeing the clothes and socks neatly folded by the side of the bedside table.
This was Gu Minghe’s habit.
Every morning, he would match the clothes Pei Huaiyue was to wear that day and place them beside him. If he wasn’t in a rush, he would usually hold Pei Huaiyue on his lap and help him put on his clothes and socks.
Even after the divorce, Gu Minghe still followed his past life habits, helping him manage everything.
The corners of Pei Huaiyue’s lips couldn’t stop curling upward.
As long as Gu Minghe still liked him, then everything he was doing now had meaning.
He finished dressing and got out of bed, only to feel a stretch of pulling pain in his thigh the moment he stood up.
He hissed softly, then hurriedly sat back down. He lifted his pajamas, only to see a patch of snow-white, tender flesh at the root of his thigh was red and swollen, and the skin was even broken, with traces of having been bitten by something.
“I wasn’t bitten by a bug, was I?” Pei Huaiyue was given a big fright.
No way, no way, is the hygiene condition in this room this poor?
“Or was it worn raw by my pajama pants?”
His skin had always been delicate; even if he wore the best fabrics and the most expensive clothes, there would occasionally be instances of chafing.
But regardless of the reason, it didn’t make Pei Huaiyue very happy.
So much so that when he walked downstairs, his posture looked a bit strange.
What’s wrong with Pei Huaiyue? Why does his walking look so strange?
Could it be that he did something shameful with Gu Minghe after the livestream was turned off last night?
Stop talking nonsense! How could Gu Minghe do that kind of thing with Pei Huaiyue!
Exactly, can Pei Huaiyue’s “mamas” stop fan-girling over everything! Thinking so much just from watching someone walk! I think Pei Huaiyue is just acting out again, walking like this on purpose!
Gu Minghe is truly having a disaster he didn’t deserve.
Early in the morning, the livestream room started arguing because of Pei Huaiyue’s walking posture.
Downstairs in the restaurant.
Xia Mu was busily and diligently puttering about in the kitchen. It wasn’t his turn to do housework today, but in order to perform well in front of Gu Minghe, he had been scrambling to cook from last night onwards.
By now, he had already finished breakfast for eight people.
He cooked a pot of walnut oatmeal and griddled a large, thin pumpkin pancake, enthusiastically asking everyone to hurry over and eat while it was hot.
Wow, Xia Mu is so good at cooking; it looks so delicious, drooling!
With Xia Mu around, no one will go hungry.
Thought Xia Mu only knew how to make Western food; didn’t expect his Chinese food to be this good too.
Isn’t it not Xia Mu’s turn to be on duty today? Why did he run off to make breakfast?
Xia Mu scooped a bowl of porridge and handed it to Gu Minghe with a sweet smile.
“Film Emperor Gu, try it and see if it suits your taste?”
Gu Minghe glanced at the walnuts in the porridge and knit his brows: “There are walnuts in it?”
“Yeah, you don’t eat walnuts?”
That’s not right. He had checked Gu Minghe’s wiki in the morning and hadn’t seen anything about him not liking walnuts.
Gu Minghe isn’t restricted from walnuts; he ate them on other variety shows before.
Xia Mu is overthinking it.
Gu Minghe’s fans held the same thoughts as Xia Mu.
Gu Minghe shook his head. “Thanks, but I’ll just make my own breakfast.”
This was a polite refusal of the breakfast Xia Mu had made.
The smile on Xia Mu’s face could barely hold up.
No way, giving no face at all?
Turns out the legendary Gu Minghe’s cold and aloof personality was real?
Film Emperor Gu is so indifferent, refusing just like that. Xia Mu looks truly pitiful.
This is Gu Minghe’s true personality, okay? He treats everyone like this; it’s not just like this toward Xia Mu.
Then why did Gu Minghe’s attitude toward Pei Huaiyue seem okay yesterday?
For a moment, the netizens couldn’t quite grasp Gu Minghe’s thoughts either.
But can Gu Minghe cook? As a young master of the Gu family, he shouldn’t have spent much time in the kitchen, right?
Is the stuff Gu Minghe makes even edible?
Haven’t seen Gu Minghe cook on variety shows before!
Haha, film emperor, don’t blow up the kitchen.
Gu Minghe rose and went straight to the kitchen.
Netizens in the livestream room all watched Gu Minghe curiously, waiting to see his livestream “crash and burn.”
However, the next second, they saw Gu Minghe beginning to process ingredients with skilled movements, starting to make breakfast.
Twenty minutes later, he brought the finished breakfast to the table.
On the tray were two pan-fried dumplings, a few pieces of pan-fried sausage, a soft-boiled egg cut into two halves, and a few slices of kiwi.
He turned and went back to the kitchen to deal with the red bean porridge that was still boiling.
In just this short while, Gu Minghe had made such a rich breakfast.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded.
“So Film Emperor Gu’s culinary skills are actually this good.” Xia Mu smiled awkwardly.
It looks like trying to conquer Gu Minghe with culinary skills isn’t going to work.
The others nodded along.
It looked better than what Xia Mu had made, and they wanted to eat it too.
But Gu Minghe seemed to have only made his own portion.
The netizens in the livestream room were also moved to tears by the deliciousness.
No wonder he didn’t want the breakfast Xia Mu made; it turns out he makes even better ones himself!
Didn’t expect Gu Minghe to actually know how to cook!
My god, Gu Minghe is truly so fit to be a hubby; whoever marries him is blessed!
At this moment, Pei Huaiyue had also walked down from upstairs slowly.
Smelling the fragrance in the restaurant, his stomach immediately grumbled from hunger.
Xia Mu said ungraciously: “I made walnut porridge for you; go get it yourself.”
Walnut porridge?
Pei Huaiyue knit his brows.
“I don’t drink walnut porridge.”
He was allergic to walnuts.
Hearing that Pei Huaiyue also wouldn’t drink the porridge he had boiled, Xia Mu was about to be angry to death.
Refusal by Gu Minghe was one thing, but what was Pei Huaiyue acting all high and mighty for? Did he think he was eager to make breakfast for him?
“What’s your attitude? I made this breakfast for you with such difficulty; not a word of thanks, and you’re even being picky!”
Pei Huaiyue rubbed his sleepy eyes and explained: “It’s not directed at you; it’s that I can’t eat walnuts. I’ll have an allergic reaction if I eat them.”
Saying this, he walked over to the dining table.
When he saw the breakfast laid out in front of him, his eyes lit up.
So fragrant!
Sausage, dumplings, soft-boiled eggs, and kiwi, these were all things he loved to eat.
Pei Huaiyue recognized it at a single glance; this was breakfast made by his dear hubby.
His hubby specifically made what he loved to eat, so it must be for him.
Pei Huaiyue thought happily, sitting down directly and grabbing the chopsticks to start eating.
Seeing him start eating without even asking, the expressions of everyone else changed instantly.
Xia Mu shrieked: “Pei Huaiyue, you can’t eat that! That’s Gu Minghe’s breakfast!”
The netizens were shocked as well.
Holy shit, Pei Huaiyue is too impolite; how did he just start eating it?
This was breakfast made by Gu Minghe with such difficulty; he ate it, so what will Gu Minghe eat?
It’s over; he has thoroughly angered Gu Minghe now!
Pei Huaiyue blinked his eyes, his teeth already biting into the dumpling, which had been stained by his saliva.
Everyone looked despairing.
It’s over, it’s over. Gu Minghe has a cleanliness fetish; Pei Huaiyue moved Gu Minghe’s breakfast, isn’t this making Film Emperor Gu eat his saliva?
It would be a miracle if Gu Minghe could eat it; he will definitely scold Pei Huaiyue until he cries!
