Chapter 113 "Done washing?"
【beginning】
The setting sun poured down on the quaint village like molten gold, coating every inch of land with a gentle glow.
Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, two figures slowly approached, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, as if they were two intertwined lines of fate, quietly merging into one another inadvertently.
Lin Yi walked in the afterglow and entered the courtyard that he had imagined countless times in his dreams - Gu Yuan's home.
The door hinges turned gently, emitting a low hum of time, as if whispering stories of the past.
In the courtyard, a scene that made his heart beat faster was quietly unfolding: Gu Yuan, the man who had forged a legend with his iron blood on the battlefield, now had let down all his defenses, with his upper body naked, washing away his fatigue and dust with a bucket of clear well water.
The water droplets slid down his tight muscle lines, outlining a picture of strength and beauty, which was rough yet delicate, and wild but contained an indescribable attraction.
Lin Yi's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. The "gurgling" sound seemed particularly clear in this quiet afternoon.
He realized his mistake and quickly adjusted his breathing, trying to make himself look more natural.
Gu Yuan looked up when he heard the voice, with water droplets still hanging on the ends of his hair. He shook his head casually, and the water droplets splashed everywhere, with a bit of unruly.
He casually wiped the water droplets off his face with the back of his hand, his eyes filled with surprise and tenderness:
: "Why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance."
After saying that, he subconsciously picked up the towel beside him and gently placed it on his chest to cover up his eye-catching chest muscles. Although he felt a little reluctant, he showed more respect and concern for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's gaze lingered on Gu Yuan's body, finally settling on the scars - some deep, some shallow, scattered across Gu Yuan's abdomen and back, like medals, recording the glory and hardships of the past.
These scars, reflected by the setting sun, not only did not diminish Gu Yuan's heroic spirit, but instead added a bit of masculine charm that was both heartbreaking and admirable.
"I want to take a shower too, but Li Jian's family and the old lady next door are both here, so it's not very convenient."
There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Yi's voice, but it also revealed his dependence on Gu Yuan.
His words were like a warm current, quietly melting the ice in Gu Yuan's heart.
Gu Yuan was filled with mixed emotions when he heard this. He had never expected that his simple daily life would become a source of trouble in Lin Yi's eyes.
He chuckled, trying to ease the delicate atmosphere:
: "Then you wash it, I'll go change clothes."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the house, with a barely perceptible hint of panic in his steps.
Inside the house, Gu Yuan changed his clothes but did not leave immediately.
He sat on the edge of the bed, the sound of water gurgling in the yard filling his ears, his heart a turmoil. Images of Lin Yi surged in his mind like a tide, filling him with both longing and fear.
He was afraid of losing control, and even more afraid of showing his vulnerable side in front of Lin Yi.
However, another idea quietly took root in his mind - he wanted to give Lin Yi a better environment, a private space that belonged only to them.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's eyes became firm.
He stood up and began to plan the future in his mind: not only a separate bathroom, but also a comfortable toilet. He wanted Lin Yi to feel the warmth and security of home here.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Until the sound of water in the yard gradually subsided, Gu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door.
He walked out of the room and saw Lin Yi already dressed and standing in the yard. The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened his figure, making him look particularly lonely and tough.
"Have you finished washing?"
There was a subtle tenderness in Gu Yuan's voice.
Lin Yi turned around, smiled and nodded:
: "Yeah, very comfortable."
His gaze lingered on Gu Yuan for a moment, finally settling on the determination and tenderness in Gu Yuan's eyes.
He knew that this man could always bring him surprises and touch him inadvertently.
The two smiled at each other, without saying anything, their feelings for each other were already evident.
In the setting sun, their shadows are closely connected, as if heralding the beginning of a new journey.
As night falls, stars dot the deep night sky, and the courtyard of Gu Yuan's house is brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding tranquility.
Lin Yi and Gu Yuan sat side by side in the yard, each holding a cup of tea in their hands, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
"I think we can start building bathrooms and toilets." Gu Yuan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence around them.
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this: "Really? That's great! I've always wanted to have a private space of our own."
Gu Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes full of longing for the future: "Yes, I also hope that our home can become more and more perfect and warm."
The two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and warmth quietly spread in the night sky.
They know that no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as they rely on each other, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
On this night illuminated by stars and dreams, the story of Gu Yuan and Lin Yi is quietly blooming, like the brightest star in the night sky, leading them towards a better tomorrow.
