BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6.9
Chapter 6.9
Gaining knowledge that the female lead was a fujoshi, Fan Yuan’s thoughts began to race.
For example, before, the female lead had urged him and Gao Sui to buy the same style of clothing and boots. When they chose rooms, she would always arrange adjacent rooms for the two of them. There was also an unexplained increase in favour. Was it because she had some weird scenes playing in her head?
He felt extremely distressed, “Xiao Wu, it turns out that I was unknowingly yy-ed by someone!”
Xiao Wu comforted, “Ding, perhaps the female lead likes it when the younger one is the gong.”
Hearing this, Fan Yuan felt much better. Before, he didn’t care much about who was the gong or shou because he adamantly believed that he was straight, but now things weren’t the same. He was always oppressed by Yan Rui, so his road to the path of gong was pretty much hopeless. This time, to be regarded as the one on top, his heart felt quite a pleasant sensation.
Fan Yuan looked up and noticed Gusu Moliang’s uneasy expression as the man tried to feel him out carefully. He reluctantly softened his expression and said, “Brother Xiao’s idea is quite good. It’s a pity that it’s only used in an apology. If you used it to please the lady you admire, I am sure that you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.”
Hearing this, Gusu Moliang said shyly, “Muyuan, do you really think so?”
Fan Yuan nodded seriously, putting down his chopsticks as he stood up and moved over to the rose bushes by his side. He broke a single rose off, giving it a light sniff as it brushed against the tip of his nose. His face was already beautiful to begin with, and added on with his graceful smile as he curved the corners of his mouth, he was even more eye-catching than the rose in his hand.
Gusu Moliang was fascinated, but that all broke apart when he heard Fan Yuan speak with a slight smile, “When I meet a woman I fancy in the future, I can learn from Brother Xiao’s idea.”
His face turned pale as he mumbled and repeated, “Woman....you....fancy..........”
Fan Yuan nodded his head as if he was oblivious of Gusu Moliang’s state. He spoke in a matter-of-fact manner, “There will always come a day when I get tired of wandering the Jianghu. When that time comes, I’ll find a person who reciprocates my feelings, and I’ll keep away from the disputes in the Jianghu, living a free life where we can idle around with no fixed abode.”
Gusu Moliang suddenly approached him and grabbed his wrist, urgently quipping, “The one who reciprocates your love may not be, may not be.........” a woman.
Fan Yuan glanced at him with wide eyes, as if waiting patiently for him to continue, but when Gusu Moliang was faced with a pair of eyes that were full of such kindness, how could he say such a conflicting opinion? Although there were stories about gay couples among the people, very few were actually open about it. Once he said those words, he wasn’t sure whether he would be despised, or even found disgusting by the other party.
All of Gusu Moliang’s reactions fell within Fan Yuan’s calculations. Ever since young, Gusu Moliang had been raised in a prestigious clan, and that caused him to have the bad habit of being very indecisive, so he would never take huge risks. Even if he made such a crazy move in a moment of rashness, he would be more cautious when these emotions passed.
Moreover, Fan Yuan had made it clear that he never wanted to spend his life with a man. If Gusu Moliang still did decide to confess, he would only embarrass himself.
While the two were hiding deep thoughts within their hearts, the main house was in an uproar. As the most valued grandson of the Old Master, Gusu Moliang was often a subject of envy. However, he had always been outstanding, so there were no mistakes for anyone to find fault with. For him to be so rebellious this time, there naturally came others who were more than eager to tell on him.
Old Master Gusu laid on his bed, paralysed, and after listening to the embellished descriptions, he was so angry that he roared, “Bring that unfilial grandson here! I want to ask him myself, does he want to rebel! Bring that Bai Muyuan with him as well. I want to see what that fox looks like. He dares to seduce Gusu Yi’s grandson!”
*******************
Knowing that he was regarded as a fox spirit, Fan Yuan headed back to the main house with Gusu Moliang in silence.
Of course, Young Master Gusu knew that he had dragged someone else down and felt very guilty. He tried to comfort Fan Yuan from time to time along the way, “Don’t worry. My grandfather is a reasonable person and won’t make things difficult for you.”
Fan Yuan felt that his words of comfort had no weight at all. The question now wasn’t whether his grandfather was understanding or unreasonable, the question was how he planned to explain today’s matter to the rest!
Although he had already expressed his stand, it seemed that Young Master Gusu hadn’t given up. Things would surely be fun if he came out in public and angered the old man to death.
No matter how excellent the female lead’s medical skills were, they wouldn’t work anymore. If he angered his grandfather to death, Gusu Moliang would be caught and locked in a pigsty and drowned in punishment. As for himself, if Yan Rui couldn’t rush back in time to save him, there was a high chance that he would be beaten to death.
＃Yes, this is the cruel Jianghu!＃
＃I said I didn’t do anything, do you guys believe me ＃
＃Brother Xiao, you’ve doomed me, you know /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~＃
When Gusu Moliang saw that he was only getting more and more distressed, he suddenly turned around and hugged Fan Yuan with his arms. He whispered in Fan Yuan’s ear, “I organised the feast just to apologise to you but Grandfather and the rest misunderstood. No matter what others say, you can just ignore it. I’ll explain everything clearly.”
Did this mean that he was going to correct his wrongs? Finally, Fan Yuan was relieved to hear this satisfactory reply. As long as Young Master Gusu didn’t cause any more trouble, it would be easy for him to muddle through the whole situation with Old Master Gusu.
However, can this guy not hold him so tightly when he says such words? Others will misunderstand things easily like this!
He originally wanted to push Gusu Moliang away, but when he noted the tender affection within the man’s eyes, it made him feel embarrassed and guilty. Forget it, forget it, he wouldn’t lose anything from being hugged for a while, just let him be.
“Brother Bai, Brother Gusu, what are you two doing.........”
Although the female lead was extremely sharp to stop the male lead from speaking too much, Fan Yuan and Gusu Moliang had already heard his voice. They both turned their faces and looked their way. At the next moment, they took two big steps back together.
Gusu: “How embarrassing!”
Fan Yuan: “What a dog day!”
Gao Sui stood there, staring, yet to recover his senses. He had obviously received a huge blow, whereas Xiao Ziyun is very excited. Her gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, her eyes flashing with an unusual gleam that almost blinded Fan Yuan’s dog eyes. Who knew what kind of romantic drama was playing in her mind.
Fan Yuan really wanted to fire a series of scoldings in her face. This asshole Gusu Moliang such a lousy idea, and she didn’t even know how to repent! She even made. It. worse!
But of course, doing that was obviously unrealistic. He could only swallow his words and explain, “Things are not like what you think.”
The female lead put on a restrained smile as she waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to explain. We all know, right, Sui’an?”
When Gao Sui heard Xiao Ziyun call him to follow, he nodded, not caring what she was asking for.
Fan Yuan’s lip twitched. He didn’t watch over them for just an afternoon and this “Brother Gao” had become “Sui’an”, this progress was a bit too fast, no!
When Gusu Moliang saw Fan Yuan looking unhappy, he quickly changed the subject and said, “Brother Gao and Brother Xiao are here to see my grandfather?”
Xiao Ziyun said, “Yes, I thought Brother Bai wouldn’t be back till late. It was going to turn dark soon, so Sui’an and I came over first.”
Gusu Moliang caught the teasing in her tone, but he couldn’t laugh as he simply felt embarrassed and shook his head helplessly, “I am afraid it is not the right time for the two of you to come. My grandfather is angry at the moment, and I’m afraid he will annoy you. I won’t introduce you tomorrow.”
Gao Sui frowned and kept quiet. Xiao Ziyun grew up in the valley, so she was not familiar with worldly matters, causing her to have a pure and naive mind. However, he himself had wandered in the Jianghu ever since he was a child. He knew that the matter of being a cut sleeve was not as beautiful and pure as she imagined, especially in such a family as Gusu.
He stopped Xiao Ziyun from asking questions and said seriously, “Brother Bai came here with us. No matter what we have to face, there is no reason for him to bear it alone. We three brothers should advance and retreat together.”
Xiao Ziyun wasn’t sure of what had happened, but when she heard Gao Sui’s words, she immediately agreed, “Yes, we can’t leave brother Bai.”
Fan Yuan was amused and somewhat moved to see these two fools defend him like this. He said, “Actually, it’s nothing but a misunderstanding. It’s good to resolve it. We have to use Brother Xiao’s medical skills to cure the stubborn disease that Brother Gusu’s grandfather has.”
Xiao Ziyun had a strong sense of duty. Let alone that they were friends with Gusu Moliang, even if an ordinary old man was ill, she would help him.
Who knew whether it was the golden halo of the male and female lead, but Old Master Gusu didn’t make things hard for them. He simply reprimanded his grandson with a few words and let him go to practice his martial arts to bring honour to the family.
As for the female lead, she became the highly-regarded Physician Xiao whom the Gusu Family took as a guest of honor.
*******************
In the blink of an eye, over a month had already passed and Fan Yuan was becoming increasingly anxious because Yan Rui still hadn’t returned. Meanwhile, Gusu Moliang would often come around to show his presence, but it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary as they simply chatted while drinking tea.
At first, Fan Yuan could hold back himself and bear with it, but as time went on, he couldn’t be bothered to humour the man any longer. On this very day, Fan Yuan heard Gusu Moliang boast that the tea at this place was very good. Fan Yuan didn’t say a word in response and simply stuffed his pack of top-grade Pu’er into the man’s hands, repeatedly stressing, “All of them are here.”
Gusu Moliang was driven out of the room but he wasn’t angry. He kissed the paper bag containing the tea leaves affectionately and expressed excitedly, “This is the first gift he gave me!” And with that, he went off happily.
Fan Yuan’s depressed mood to begin with became even more so, because when he saw the Young Master Gusu become so happy, he felt extremely! Annoyed! Moreover, there were also the male and female lead who clung to each other like glue. The female lead hadn’t exposed her true identity yet, but they loved each other without any conflict! Every day, they only knew how to abuse single dogs!
Pei, he wasn’t a single dog! He had a lover, but the whereabouts of that one in his family were unknown.........
Fan Yuan stood in front of the window and lowered his gaze, his expression overcast with a subtle sadness evident from his frown. He whispered, “The peach blossoms have wilted?”
Several maids passed by, blushing in succession.
Fan Yuan obviously didn’t notice this, because he was wailing mournfully to Xiao Wu in his mind, “When Yan Rui had just left, the peach blossoms had just started to bud! Now they’ve all wilted! WILTED!”
“Ding, perhaps he bumped into some difficult matters,” Xiao Wu replied calmly.
Fan Yuan said, “I don’t care whether it’s difficult or not, it’s his fault that he didn’t keep his promise!”
Xiao Wu: “Ding.........”
Fan Yuan was just about to complain a bit more when a gust of wind suddenly slammed the window shut in front of him. His heart suddenly palpitated, getting faster and faster. This smell of incense.........
“Yes, it was my bad.”
That man’s deep and hoarse voice sounded in his mind. It turns out that he had unknowingly spouted out the conversation with Xiao Wu, it was too embarrassing!
Fan Yuan wanted to turn around to look at him, but he was held tightly by that man from behind, as if he wanted to be fuse him into his bones and blood till they could no longer be separated
“I ran into some trouble, but it’s been solved. Did Yuan’er miss Daddy?”
Fan Yuan’s ears were burning. He knew what to say according to the script, they were nothing more than sarcastic and defiant words, but he didn’t want to say such words when they had been separated for more than a month. Why did he have to be so harsh when they had finally reunited.
He said slowly through the system, “Yan Rui, I missed you......”
Before he was done speaking, Yan Rui immediately flipped him around and pressed his lips tightly against Fan Yuan’s, the air mixed with the faint fragrance of grass.
Peach blossoms have gone, but spring endures.
The Author Has Something to Say:
Little Theatre:
Fan Yuan (glares at him): “Where have you been these past few days?”
Yan Rui (allures in a deep voice): “I didn’t mess about. My body and soul belong to you, if you don’t believe me, you can check.........”
Fan Yuan (red face and ears, taking back his hand): “At least- at least you’re honest!”
Yan Rui (full of hidden meaning, picking apart his clothes): “Now it’s time for me to check.”
Fan Yuan couldn’t escape. He was checked thoroughly inside and out by a certain someone =￣ω￣=
