What's Wrong with Getting a New Wife? [Rebirth] [MTL]

Chapter 40

The room was very quiet. Apart from the sound of calm breathing and the slight rustling of leaves outside the window, there was no other sound.

　　Yan Congyu propped himself up and sat up, his brain feeling dizzy from the alcohol. He should have been sleeping but he lost sleep because of Gu Ji's question just now.

　　...Why would the other party ask this question?

　　Yan Congyu sat on the head of the bed, and looked at Gu Ji helplessly. He couldn't figure out the reason.

　　The man who disturbed his heart fell asleep right after he finished speaking. He was very careless.

　　The moonlight shone dimly from the window, casting a silent glow. The black-haired boy lying on his side beside the bed had a peaceful sleep, his collar loosely tilted to one side, revealing a distinct neck line.

　　The night was too dark to see anything clearly. What came to Yan Congyu's mind was the scene at the dinner table just now, when Gu Ji's eyes were red after drinking and he glanced at him lightly, just a brief glance, and his heart almost melted.

　　The alcohol made him bolder. Yan Congyu raised his hand and gently touched the corner of Gu Ji's eyes. He seemed to feel the eyelashes passing over his hand, bringing a slight numbing sensation.

　　The touch under his hands felt real and delicate, and Yan Congyu's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

　　When the mind is not clear, desires tend to take over, and self-control completely collapses at this moment.

　　The fingertips slowly moved down along the eyebrows and eyes, finally stopping on the thin lips.

　　"Gu Ji——"

　　Yan Congyu's voice was a little drunken, and he murmured in a low voice: "Baby..."

　　He leaned forward slightly, his alcohol gradually taking effect over time, and his consciousness gradually became less clear.

　　Suddenly, Gu Ji seemed to realize that something was uncomfortable on his face and covered his face with his hands.

　　Yan Congyu was interrupted and paused, thinking that he had woken Gu Ji up. He patted his back gently and waited patiently until Gu Ji's breathing returned to normal.

　　He coaxed, "Good boy."

　　...

　　The next morning.

　　When the sunlight came in, Gu Ji was awakened by the glaring light. His temples felt a familiar hangover pain, and when he opened his eyes, he felt like his head was about to explode.

　　He took a long time to calm down, and the memory of last night slowly emerged from deep inside. Compared with the current hangover headache, the more headache was obviously Yan Congyu.

　　I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but Gu Ji never loses his memory after getting drunk.

　　Not only that, what happened after he was drunk was even more profound for him.

　　He had originally planned to test Xiaoyan yesterday in a tactful way while she was drunk, but unfortunately the only and biggest variable was that he himself was also drunk.

　　He was almost drunk last night, so the subtle temptation he had planned earlier was of course out of the question. It was good enough that he remembered this matter.

After that, although Gu Ji closed his eyes, he was still awake for a while, and he remembered that Yan Congyu had touched his face randomly.

　　Very memorable.
