Looking Over at the Guy Across the Way

Chapter 15: Little days pass by

At seven in the morning, the alarm clock went off.

Chen Xiao picked up his phone and glanced at it, turning the alarm off. Five minutes later, the alarm rang again, so he lifted his hand and pushed the man next to him lightly: “Gu MengYang, get up….”

“Hmm….” the man wrapped around him called out in a wavering tone, nuzzling his neck a couple times and then pasting a kiss there. He then got up with a yawn, “Chen Xiao, you have to get up too.”

“……Just…..lie down for a couple more minutes…..”

“You’re going to lie down for another minute every two minutes until you fall asleep and then have breakfast in a rush. Come on, get up!” Gu MengYang gave Chen Xiao a push as he put on his clothes. He just pulled the blanket up and covered his head, shrinking down inside.

“Shh, don’t argue, just two minutes! Two people can’t squeeze in the bathroom anyway so when you get out, I’ll definitely be up……” Chen Xiao said before he fell asleep again. He was so grumpy in bed that getting him up every morning had become Gu MengYang’s biggest headache, but he was reluctant to drag him out by force.

“…..then you get yourself up.” Gu MengYang heaved a sigh and touched the hair that had become messy when he slept. He got up and went into the bathroom.

When he finished washing, Chen Xiao was already sitting up, but it was obvious he had just got up when he heard the footsteps. He hadn’t even opened his eyes yet, like a little kid.

He walked over with a towel and put it on the other’s face for a bit and only then did Chen Xiao fully come to his senses and stagger towards the bathroom.

By the time he came out, sure enough, Gu MengYang had breakfast prepared for him. After everything was ready, the two left together.

Chen Xiao kept thinking there actually wasn’t much difference between now and before, they still went to work together, ate together, cuddled on the couch together, watching TV and eating watermelon. In addition to their positions becoming more tightly nestled together, now they would occasionally take advantage of the ad time to kiss a little. Usually half the nights of the week, Gu MengYang would sleep over.

He had thought of simply letting Gu MengYang move in with him. But because on the one hand, he had his previous psychological shadow and, on the other hand, when two people lived together, there would be arguments, so he thought maybe it was better to ease themselves in a little more slowly.

And the facts proved it, spending their days together wasn’t like falling in love. What they showed in front of each other was no longer the glossy side, but the shortcomings that ordinary people never saw.

Chen Xiao and Gu MengYang’s first fight was because of his problem with waking up.

In the early days, he deliberately woke up before Gu MengYang for the sake of his image, waking the other with a kiss while showing a refreshed face. But, within a few days, his nature of lazing in bed was gradually exposed. No matter how Gu MengYang called him, he refused to get up. In the end, Gu MengYang was also angry, wrapping him up tightly with a blanket and slamming the door on his way to work. When Chen Xiao woke up, he cried out for repentance, clinging to Gu MengYang’s thigh and carrying out a deep self-review and finally accepted a nighttime “punishment”. Although after that, the same occurence could still be relied upon to cause anger.

“Eh, Gu MengYang, can’t you tell me to get up in a different way, like a seduction, a kiss or something.”

“…..I can wake you up in a more drastic way.”

Chen Xiao blushed, and thought gloomily and unhappily, now it’s becoming more and more difficult to make this little slag man blush!

Besides, Gu MengYang found that Chen Xiao was lazy around the house, was a picky eater, and didn’t love sports. He behaved like a hooligan when he was lazy, calling it ‘doing as his heart wishes’, which made Gu MengYang want to press the other down every time and punish him! *Cough* ……it’s educational! In the past, these were his most disliked shortcomings, but when it came to Chen Xiao, he thought they weren’t flaws. Now he was even taking days off to stay at home with the man, to watch movies and play games. Exercising or whatever, they just went to bed to do it; it involved sweating and draining your strength anyway. So they could also be two separate people together: if the other side didn’t like to eat, he would just eat; when the other acted shamelessly, he would act immorally; when the other acted immorally, he would just throw a tantrum.

Gu MengYang felt deep down that he had fallen into depravity.

“Chen Xiao, today, you have to wash your socks yourself. You’ve been difficult all week.”

“…….today you’re using the washing machine so just do them together, it’ll be done quicker!”

“…….no way!”

“…….let’s have a match, whoever loses will obey the winner!”

“…..alright……”

——

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

“Chen Xiao, you lost, go wash!”

“No, it’s best of three, who will lose the set?!”

“Then I’ll give you one more chance – see, you lost again. This time, there’s nothing you can say.”

“One last time! – Haha, I won!!”

“That’s just 2:1, you lose.”

“Says who! It’s always been the last one to win or lose, I knew you wouldn’t admit it.”

“…….”

Look at this! This is a trick. In the end, Gu MengYang huffed and puffed but still took the socks and washed them.

Chen Xiao was lying comfortably on the couch, thinking that Gu MengYang was good all over, but he was just a little too long-winded, but that aspect was pretty good when fucking. No, that also won’t do, that’s also no good. Now they frequently butted head, displaying their childish tempers, where is the little slag man who blushed and was shy before?! Hey, it’s all about letting yourself get used to it! He dug up a spoonful of watermelon and shoved it in his mouth. He thought in satisfaction, forget it, I’ll get used to it, who is the one who let himself like that guy so much?

Two people should mess around with each other, it could still be sweet. Occasionally one teases the other, one bullies the other; little days like these were full of pink bubbles.

What could be happier than locking arms and buying watermelons?

But such a quiet life was soon broken.

“Coming, coming, who’s there – you?!” Chen Xiao opened the door, staring stunned at the well-dressed man outside.

“Long time no see, Chen Xiao.”
