When Yu Xi came out of the room rubbing his eyes, he just saw Gu Beilu escaping from the living room with a gloomy face.

“Derek, why are you here?”

He felt that Gu Beilu looked a little strange, but he had just woken up and had no idea what had just happened.

Today he swam and climbed over the wall, which consumed a lot of his energy and energy. In addition to his injury, he looked a little sick, with a few strands of bangs lying obediently in front of his forehead and his eyes misty with water.

Gu Beilu looked at him and without further ado stepped forward to give him a hug: “I’m sorry, Xixi, I won’t let you get hurt again.”

The adults were just talking about how the two children were like conjoined twins, wondering when they would be able to walk independently. The result of the discussion was that when they grew up and each found a wife, they would naturally separate.

Gu Beilu thought they were talking nonsense.

He doesn’t want a wife.

He has to separate from Yu Xi just because he has a wife? How could he possibly separate from Yu Xi? These adults are so boring.

When he thought of this, he hugged the person in his arms tighter, buried his face in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath in revenge. It smelled of milk and was really sweet.

Yu Xi felt that Gu Beilu’s mood fluctuated greatly throughout the day, changing from one mood to another over and over again. It seemed that he was getting angry. Maybe it was easier to get angry during puberty, he thought.

Over the past six months, their height difference has become increasingly obvious. Gu Beilu is much taller than him, so even if the other person is bent over, he still has to stand on tiptoe slightly to be able to hug him properly.

It feels strange and uncomfortable.

“Derek…” He tugged at Gu Beilu’s clothes at the waist and whispered, “Let me go, you’re too tall…”

Gu Beilu was unwilling to let go. He raised his eyes and saw the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the entrance hall, and the figures of the two were completely exposed.

Yu Xi was wearing a white pajamas, which looked very thin when viewed from the side. He was sticking to him, with only his toes touching the ground, and his body was completely held tightly by him so that he did not lose his balance.

He didn’t even struggle when he felt uncomfortable, but just made his request obediently, and Gu Beilu’s heart softened.

He gritted his teeth and let the person go. The person in his arms suddenly shifted his center of gravity. After a stagger, he was immediately picked up again and put on the closet by the wall to sit.

Gu Beilu held him with great skill, as effortlessly as a big tiger holding a little white rabbit.

Yu Xi held his collar tightly in dependence. Although he was used to being held like this since he was a child, he still said, “I’m grown up, not a child anymore.”

“When you grow up a little bit, I will continue the boxing lessons.” Gu Beilu said, hooked his nose, then bent down to hold up his arm and carefully checked whether it was pressed just now.

Yu Xi was confused, wondering what his growing up had to do with boxing lessons? But it seemed that Gu Beilu hadn’t practiced boxing for a while.

He remembered that when he was a child, Gu Beilu couldn’t hold him. After all, they were the same age, and it was impossible for him to easily hold another child of the same age. Later, for some reason, one year Gu Beilu suddenly wanted to learn boxing. After learning for a while, his strength increased, and he was able to hold him slowly.

He was very envious and wanted to be as strong as Gu Beilu, so he insisted on learning. However, he only attended one class. During the class, he saw that the senior students next to him were covered in wounds and were hitting the sandbags fiercely.

He was so scared that he cried on the spot, and from then on he refused to step into the boxing gym.

Every time Gu Beilu came back from class, he would check if he was injured. There were several times when he saw obvious scars, and he was very sad, but Gu Beilu said that such injuries only looked serious and did not hurt.

He always felt it was strange because Gu Beilu never liked activities that involved interacting with people.

At that time, the physical education teacher asked everyone to choose a sport. The boys in the class all went to learn basketball and football, but Gu Beilu refused physical contact. He even rejected fencing, saying that the distance between him and his opponent was too close. Finally, he chose tennis.

He analyzed it and thought, Gu Beilu should be very resistant to boxing, so why did he take the initiative to learn it and persist for so long? He asked Gu Beilu why, but Gu Beilu never answered seriously.

Once he asked, Gu Beilu picked him up and said, “That’s why.”

He scratched his face, not understanding. He thought Gu Beilu was just teasing him, so he didn’t take it seriously.

The light in the entrance hall was not very bright. They were facing each other. The wall cabinet was very high, so he could just look at Gu Beilu at eye level while sitting.

“Derek, you loved boxing so much in elementary school, why haven’t you practiced lately?”

Under the light and shadow, Gu Beilu carefully examined the bandage on his arm and said, “Who told you to eat all the time but not gain weight?”

Yu Xi tilted his head, even more confused.

“What does it have to do with me? I don’t practice boxing.”

He felt that Gu Beilu was really unreasonable. He stopped practicing and blamed him.

Gu Beilu looked up at him, wanting to say something, but stopped himself. Finally, he turned his head and looked at the clock on the wall: “You should take a bath and change the medicine.”

Just as Yu Xi was about to answer that it was still early, he was picked up without any explanation and taken to his room.

Gu Beilu dragged his butt and walked with him in his arms. He wrapped his legs around Gu Beilu’s waist to prevent him from slipping.

It’s really strange, he thought, why did he take a shower so early? And his injury was clearly on his hand, not his leg, and Gu Beilu seemed to not want him to walk today.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Gu Beilu mutter with a complaint: “What’s there to practice? It’s as light as cotton.”

Yu Xi rested his chin on Gu Beilu’s shoulder and asked, “What kind of fist feels like cotton? Is there such a fist?”

Gu Beilu didn’t want to answer, he went to the room and put the person down on the bed. He had asked Yu’s father and mother for permission, and he would come to help Yu Xi bathe every day until his hand recovered.

Of course, Yu’s father and mother disagreed at first. They felt that they had failed in their duty as parents. Their child was injured and needed care. It was their own business after all, so how could they trouble others?

Gu Beilu said that he was not someone else, he had bathed Yu Xi many times since he was a child. And he wanted to do something to make up for the guilt in his heart.

Yu’s mother said: “Xixi can’t go to school these days. It’s a great help that you can give Xixi extra lessons.”

Gu Beilu gave another reason: “Uncle and aunt, Xixi is a big boy now. He is already in junior high school. He will be embarrassed if his parents give him a bath. What’s more, Xixi and I have the same schedule and bath time.”

In the end, both sides took a step back and decided that if Yu’s father came home late, they would let Gu Beilu come to help.

Gu Beilu did some calculations in his mind and decided to let Yu Xi take a bath before dinner.

In the room, Gu Beilu turned on the bathroom heater.

“I’ll wash it myself.” Yu Xi looked at him taking out a towel from the closet and blurted out without thinking. After saying that, he looked at his Michelin arm and fell silent.

“Can you wash yourself?” Gu Beilu asked with a shark bath towel hanging on his arm.

Yu Xi shook his head and obediently stretched out his hands to wait for his clothes to be taken off.

In front of the bathroom mirror, because of the bandage, the two of them took twice as long as usual to coordinate and take off all of Yu Xi’s clothes.

The fair skin seemed to be glowing under the light of the bathroom heater.

Gu Beilu looked at the naked body in front of him, was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and took the shark towel to wrap the person.

Yu Xi looked at him with confusion.

He said, “Don’t catch a cold.”

Yu Xi showed an incredible expression, “Do you know how high the temperature of this bathroom heater is?”
