It was already noon, Gu Beilu had finished his workout and an online class, and Yu Xi slowly woke up from the soft bed.

He opened his eyes and rubbed them. The sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. It was a hot summer day outside, but the air conditioner was on in the room, and there was a light aromatherapy scent to soothe the body.

He didn’t remember using aromatherapy last night, but he didn’t sleep well the entire second half of the night. He sat up, threw the pillow in his arms aside, and stretched hard.

Thinking of last night, he suddenly woke up, jumped out of bed and ran to the balcony, only to find that all his clothes had been taken back.

He returned to the house and nervously opened the closet, finding all his underwear neatly folded.

It’s over, Gu Beilu must have discovered that he got up in the middle of the night to wash his underwear…

He covered his face, which was burning.

It was almost noon, and when Yu Xi came out of the room, he looked obviously uncomfortable. Gu Beilu was waiting for him in the living room for brunch, and had prepared his favorite food for him.

“Are you up? Did you sleep well?” Seeing someone coming out, Gu Beilu picked up the glass and poured juice.

Yu Xi stood beside the cupboard, looking at Gu Beilu, feeling a little awkward.

He thought, if he found Gu Beilu getting up late at night to wash his underwear, he would also be curious about what happened.

But Gu Beilu didn’t look unusual at all, and he pulled out a chair and called him to eat as usual.

He nodded, scratched his pajamas, walked over and took the orange juice handed to him by Gu Beilu.

“Derek, why didn’t you wake me up today?”

Gu Beilu picked up a butter knife and spread butter on the croissant. He said nonchalantly, “You don’t need to get up early during the summer vacation. You can grow taller if you sleep more.”

“Oh…” Yu Xi drank a big sip of juice nervously, and stopped talking. He shrank and stared at the tableware in front of him, and ate the food on his plate carefully. He didn’t taste the butter bread and fried ham that he usually liked the most today, and just stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them.

When people are nervous, drinking water and eating are tactical actions that are subconscious. However, Yu Xi’s tactics were not mature enough. He was eating at his own big dining table, but it was like a little hamster stealing food in the kitchen.

Gu Beilu looked at him for a while and finally managed to hold back his laughter.

He always used to think that it would be great if Yu Xi could go back to her childhood. He would be so cute back then, giving him kisses and hugs every day.

But now he found that he wanted Yu Xi to grow up faster. He couldn’t tell why, maybe it was because of a sense of accomplishment in raising him.

I watched the little hamster stuffing food into his mouth more and more hastily, with his cheeks bulging and no time to swallow, as if he wanted to store the food in his mouth quickly and then escape in a panic.

Gu Beilu was afraid that he would choke to death, so he started to distract him.

“I dreamed of you last night,” Gu Beilu drank a sip of milk and suddenly asked, “Did you dream last night?”

Yu Xi was startled and choked, and kept covering his mouth and coughing.

Gu Beilu quickly went to pat his back.

He coughed so hard that tears came out, and he didn’t know if it was because of choking or something else. His fair face was now red and his eyes were misty.

Gu Beilu had never seen him like this before.

In the past, Yu Xi’s blushing was just because she was nervous or guilty, like a child who had done something wrong.

He was also a lawless child. He probably believed from the bottom of his heart that Gu Beilu would not really blame him, so he always acted like a spoiled child without any fear, such as pulling on his clothes and calling him brother.

But today seems different. Not only does he not act like a spoiled child, he doesn’t even dare to look me in the eye for even a second longer.

Yu Xi didn’t know how to answer this question and found it difficult to speak.

“I didn’t dream.” He gritted his teeth, his face red, “I didn’t dream about anything!”

He would never admit that he was dreaming about his best friend at that time. That would be too embarrassing!

Gu Beilu originally wanted to comfort people, but when he saw Yu Xi’s expression, for some reason, he suddenly felt naughty in his heart.

He wanted to see how red Yu Xi’s face could get.

“No way? Didn’t you say you dream about me every day?”

Yu Xi was even more embarrassed when he heard this. He closed his eyes and denied loudly, “No! I haven’t been dreaming recently! I slept until dawn! I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night!”

Every word was spoken very loudly.

But lying was too difficult for him, and panic was written all over his face. Once he said this, it was equivalent to an invalid lie and a disguised admission.

Gu Beilu was holding back his laughter, but couldn’t show it. At this moment, he was sure that he was a little sick. He liked to see Yu Xi’s current appearance, and thought he was so cute.

So cute.

Want to take a bite.

He couldn’t help but admire his red face and evasive eyes for a while longer. But he stopped there, fearing that if he teased him too much, Yu Xi would start to cry.

After finishing breakfast, Yu Xi stood up and was about to run, but was grabbed back by Gu Beilu.

“Let me go Derek! I want to go back to my room!”

Yu Xi struggled in vain and was pushed back into the chair.

Gu Beilu squatted down in front of him, put his hands on his shoulders, pinched his ears, and asked him why he was running.

Yu Xi was forced to look him in the eye, his fingers tightly clenching his trouser legs, his palms feeling sweaty.

He had never been so afraid to see Gu Beilu. He really didn’t know how to answer this question. He couldn’t say that he had a wet dream about him at night… After all, Shen Di said that when he had his first time, he dreamed of a hot, blond, armored lady from a Hollywood movie.

Gu Beilu saw that Yu Xi was about to tear the pocket of his trousers, so he grabbed his hand and wiped the sweat from his palm.

Yu Xi’s little trick was discovered, and he felt even more embarrassed. He was anxious and lowered his head in grievance for a moment.

Gu Beilu was afraid that he would really cry this time, so he quickly coaxed him and said, “Xixi, it’s normal. I dreamed about you, too. The first time I dreamed, it was you I dreamed about.”

When Yu Xi heard this, he raised his face in surprise, obviously not expecting this answer.

Gu Beilu was afraid that he would not believe it, so he explained: “It’s true, I dreamed about you last year. I asked the doctor, and the physiological reaction has nothing to do with dreaming, it’s all very normal.”

Ever since Yu Xi told him that he dreamed of him every day, he had been mentally prepared for this day to come.

The last time he dreamed of Yu Xi, it took him a long time to get used to it, so he knew how Yu Xi felt now.

“Are you telling the truth?” Yu Xi looked at him doubtfully, but the embarrassment in his heart had disappeared. He had always believed what Gu Beilu said, and had been like this since he was a child.

Gu Beilu pinched his hand and said, “Of course it’s true.”

Yu Xi thought for a moment and asked again: “When were you…?”

Gu Beilu said: “The first grade of junior high school has just started.”

Yu Xi scratched his head, no longer remembering what happened when school started.

But Gu Beilu remembered.

Because of his overreaction that time, Yu Xi was injured.

Thinking of this incident, Gu Beilu felt heartbroken again.

Fortunately, Yu Xi had a quick memory and was quick to adapt. It only took him one morning to accept the incident and believe that it was normal. At night, he slept next to Gu Beilu again.

In the second month of the summer vacation, Shen Di came back from traveling abroad and invited them to his home, saying that he had brought them some good things.

When calling Yu Xi, Shen Di specifically asked what Gu Beilu was doing tomorrow afternoon. Yu Xi said he had an online class after lunch.

Shen Di said, “That’s great,” and asked us to come tomorrow afternoon.

Yu Xi: …

The next day, Gu Beilu adjusted the class time and took Yu Xi to Shen Di’s house.

When they arrived, Su Weifan and Yang Hui were already playing video games in the living room. Shen Di brought gifts for each of them, including one for Gu Beilu.

Yang Hui couldn’t let go of his new figurine. He patted Shen Di on the shoulder and said that he would give him a big gift on his next birthday.

“What? This is not a big gift. I asked you to come here today because I have something better to show you.” Shen Di mysteriously closed the curtains, took out his phone and connected it to the projector. “I’m telling you, I share this with you because I consider you my good brothers. You are not allowed to tell anyone else.”

The moment the curtains were drawn, Gu Beilu had a bad feeling. He frowned when he saw the words in Shen Di’s mobile phone file.

“Why do you want to watch this kind of thing?”

When Yu Xi heard this, he was extremely curious and leaned forward to take a look: “What good stuff is this?”

“Nothing.” Gu Beilu quickly pulled Yu Xi back to the sofa and sat next to him.

Shen Di raised his head and rolled his eyes at him: “If you don’t want to see it, then get out.”

Gu Beilu pulled Yu Xi and was about to leave, but Yu Xi refused to go because he hadn’t seen what the good stuff was yet.

Yang Hui and Su Weifan also wanted to see it, but Gu Beilu said angrily, “This is not a good thing.”

Shen Di ignored the only objector and continued to connect the projector: “Lao Gu, you haven’t done that yet, have you? Tsk tsk, this is really not possible.”

Gu Beilu became even angrier: “Shut up.”

“If you are a man, just look. What are you afraid of?” Shen Di raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously, “If you don’t look, you are not a man.”
