Chapter 32 Chapter 32 I said, I like you.

Gu Chen looked up and saw Lu Xun standing at the door. There was no expression on his face, and his pupils were dark and deep.

"...The oven door is blocked." Gu Chen felt a little uneasy. Soul grabbing soul could not produce an actual physical connection. He got out of the state where Lin Yi seemed to be holding his wrist, and gestured with the small brush in his hand, "We are cleaning."

His eyes stayed on his wrist for a while, and Lu Xun looked at Lin Yi. This was the first time he saw, or even the first time he knew, that this person could also turn into a soul state.

Lu Xun: "Is it okay now?"

"Almost." Lin Yi seemed to have not seen the unkindness in Lu Xun's eyes, walked to the oven, and easily opened the oven door.

The rich fragrance of flower cakes wafted out.

Lin Yi asked Gu Chen: "Do you want to call Geography?"

Gu Chen: "I'll go."

There are two long corridors from the kitchen to the living room. Gu Chen walked halfway and suddenly remembered that he should go back to the doll first.

He turned around and tried to go back to the kitchen, but his nose almost "bumped" into the chin of the person behind him.

Gu Chen subconsciously took two steps back.

He looked at Lu Xun, who was only a few steps away from him, and was stunned. He didn't even notice that Lu Xun had been following him.

Lu Xun still had no expression on his face, but perhaps because the light in the corridor was darker, his eyes seemed darker than before, and there was even an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made people subconsciously want to avoid him.

Gu Chen resisted the urge to avoid the other person's gaze: "...What's wrong?"

"What were you doing just now?"

Gu Chen didn't quite understand why he asked again, but still said: "I was brushing the residue in the oven door."

Lu Xun: "Do you want to hold hands when brushing the door?"

Gu Chen was at a loss: "No, Lin Yi accidentally put the debris on my hand." He

even called him by name.

Lu Xun lowered his eyes and noticed that there were indeed two black things on Gu Chen's translucent left wrist.

He took two steps forward.

The gap between the two suddenly became narrow.

Gu Chen subconsciously wanted to step back, but Lu Xun grabbed his wrist.

Theoretically, this grab has no physical restraining effect, but for some reason, Gu Chen felt as if his real hand was being held, and he could not move suddenly.

Lu Xun pressed the wrist that had no sense of reality, as if it was made of gel, and it felt warm, like the most gentle spring water.

His thumb gently rubbed it twice.

Gu Chen was surprised to see the residue being wiped away bit by bit by Lu Xun's hand.

Lu Xun: "Why do you have to become a human to clean the door?"

Gu Chen: "The body of a doll can't reach it."

"Why don't you find a footstool?"

"I wanted to find one..."

"But he made you become like this?"

Gu Chen was stunned.

Lu Xun raised his eyes and looked at the confused boy in front of him. Even in the dark corridor, Gu Chen's eyes were still bright, like clean and transparent gems.

His breathing was slightly heavy, and the strength of Lu Xun's hand began to increase meaninglessly: "Stay away from him." "

?"

Even the most dull people could hear the obvious hostility behind these four words.

From the time he traveled through time until now, Gu Chen had never seen Lu Xun show obvious hostility towards anyone. Whether it was the biological extortion of experimental funds or the usual political nagging, Lu Xun did not show any impatience, and was even very indulgent. The only person he showed hostility to was Lu Zeyu, but that kind of hostility seemed different from the hostility he had towards Lin Yi now.

Gu Chen was a little puzzled: "Did he do something to make you unhappy?"

Lu Xun did not speak, but just stared at Gu Chen. Gu Chen felt more and more unsure when he was looked at by him. Just when he thought Lu Xun would not answer.

"He has bad intentions towards you."

"?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Lu Xun said again: "He is interested in you, can't you see it?"

Gu Chen was stunned. After a while, he seemed to be relieved and slowly smiled: "You think too much."

Lu Xun: "Don't believe it?"

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I haven't had much contact with him."

"Doing homework together every day doesn't count as contact?"

"Not every day..." Gu Chen wanted to easily reveal this topic, but found that Lu Xun was looking at him with an unusually serious expression.

Gu Chen paused: "Why do you think so?"

Lu Xun stared at him for a moment, and he maintained the posture of holding Gu Chen's wrist, and his body slowly leaned forward.

A burning breath came from his ears. Gu Chen's breathing became tighter.

So strange.

Too close.

Just like when Lu Xun pressed him last night.

But at that time he was still in the form of a doll. Unlike now, although it is only a soul, it is in the form of a human after all, and the angle and depth of perception suddenly expanded several times.

"Because I am the same as him."

A low voice sounded in his ears.

Gu Chen's pupils shrank slightly. His mind went blank for several seconds. It was as if he didn't quite know how to understand this sentence.

"...What?"

"I said." Lu Xun tilted his head slightly, and his breath sprinkled more wantonly on Gu Chen's ear. "I like you."

At that moment, Gu Chen felt that the space in front, behind, left and right seemed to be infinitely stretched. The deep silence slowly spread with him and Lu Xun as the core. The only sound in the corridor was the thumping heartbeat, and it was hard to tell whether it was his or Lu Xun's.

Gu Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and it took him a long time to find his voice, but his voice was trembling: "...Are you kidding?"

Lu Xun grabbed Gu Chen's wrist and stepped back slightly. He stared at Gu Chen motionlessly, as if he wanted to use his eyes to suck the person in front of him into his body: "I won't make such a joke."

Gu Chen: "...I'm just a doll."

Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen, and slowly, the corners of his lips rose: "Don't want to go back?"

Gu Chen realized what he was saying belatedly, and his ears became hot. He closed his eyes and tried to make his brain work normally.

"You think I'm good-looking, so you..."

"No." Lu Xun paused, thinking of the impact of Gu Chen's face on him, and honestly added, "Not all."

Gu Chen felt confused: "Then why..."

"Like is not a math problem." Lu Xun looked at him intently, "Some questions don't have a standard answer."

Gu Chen has received many confessions in school since he was a child, but he himself has never liked anyone, so he can't quite understand what Lu Xun means.

"I think you may be wrong..."

Lu Xun suddenly laughed very softly. Gu Chen's appearance reminded him of the way he was when he was explaining the problem to him.

Serious, yet indescribably cute.

"Why do you think I'm wrong?"

Gu Chen's thoughts were in a mess, but he still tried to find the basis like doing a question: "I don't think I've done anything to make you like me."

Lu Xun raised his hand, and the back of his hand gently slid across the hair beside Gu Chen's ear. There was no real feeling, and his hand went straight through, but it was very warm.

"People's feelings are often wrong."

Gu Chen nodded, and his mouth was faster than his brain and said: "So your feelings about me are also wrong."

Lu Xun paused, and although he was still laughing, his voice was a little lower: "Don't you really want me to like you?"

Gu Chen; "That's not what I meant..."

Lu Xun saw that he was tangled, as if he was holding back something and didn't know how to say it, and finally he let go: "I'm not asking you to agree to me right away."

"I'm just telling you my idea." Lu Xun looked at Gu Chen, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I'm not impulsive."

"I'm serious."

Gu Chen opened and closed his mouth, and Lu Xun's expression was too serious and solemn. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.

Lu Xun: "Are you still going to pay attention to me?"

Gu Chen's mind was foggy, and he just felt that this was outrageous.

"I..." He spoke with difficulty, "I didn't plan to ignore you..."

Lu Xun stared at him until Gu Chen seemed to be guilty and didn't know what, and took the initiative to look away, then he spoke again: "Let's go, go call the geography department."

Gu Chen lowered his head. He saw that Lu Xun's hand was still "grasping" his wrist.

"Or... move it first."

Lu Xun didn't move, and was silent for a while, and exerted a little force on his knuckles. Although Gu Chen couldn't feel his wrist, he could see clearly how his finger bones were bent.

His heart was pounding in his chest, as if it was going to break through the thin soul and jump out.

Gu Chen was about to pull it out himself, but Lu Xun suddenly loosened his hand.

He put his hand back into his trouser pocket and walked in front of Gu Chen.

The boy was very tall, his shoulders and back had grown, and under the dim light, his figure cast a long silhouette on the ground.

Gu Chen watched for a while and followed him silently.

As one of the most famous key schools in Haicheng, No. 1 Middle School has to take joint exams with other schools regularly in addition to monthly and midterm exams.

The joint exam will be held two weeks after the midterm exam. After the results came out, the average score of the second grade was the lowest among the three schools. Among them, Class 1 had the lowest score.

In the first English class in the morning, before class, Gao Yu deliberately took some time to do some ideological work for the group of little girls in the class who had been a little discouraged recently.

"A lot of things have happened in our class during this period." Gao Yu said halfway and looked at Gu Chen's seat. Yesterday she found that the white carnations on the desk were about to wither, and today she found that the bouquet of flowers had been replaced and replaced by a pot of cedar.

Gao Yu paused: "Who bought the cedar on Gu Chen's desk?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Gao Yu: "Qi Xiang?"

Qi Xiang immediately shook his head: "Not me. Only my grandfather would buy this kind of potted plant."

Lu Xun: "I bought it."

The class was silent for a second. Qi Xiang looked at Lu Xun, who had no expression, and changed his words loudly: "But the one my grandpa bought is not as handsome as this one!"

The whole classroom laughed.

"Okay." Gao Yu interrupted them seriously, "You can still laugh even if you don't see how you did in the joint exam?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and everyone started to act like quails.

"A lot of things have happened in our class during this period. I know your minds are a little scattered. But no matter what happens, always remember what the most important thing is." Gao Yu paused and said, "Lu Xun, where are you looking?"

Lu Xun: "Look at my baby."

His seat was in the last row. As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes in front of him turned to him almost at the same time.

Gu Chen, who was sitting on Lu Xun's desk and flipping through the test paper: "..."

In order not to face Lu Xun, he deliberately did not wear the invisibility cloak today. He thought he could stay in his schoolbag peacefully, but he didn't expect that the small light in his bag suddenly short-circuited today.

"Why don't I go home?"

"Do you want me to skip class and take you home?"

"...I can walk home by myself."

"Do you want to die, or do you want me to die?"

"..."

After some negotiations, Lu Xun placed Gu Chen naked on the desk.

Suddenly being stared at by dozens of eyes, Gu Chen's hands froze as he turned the test paper. Then he quickly remembered that according to the settings, the human visual layer was not the same as theirs, and no matter what he did, it would appear static to humans.

Although he said so, those eyes were still real. Gu Chen shrank his chin and was about to hypnotize himself not to care, when suddenly everything went black in front of him.

Lu Xun hugged Gu Chen into his arms, blocking the dozens of sightlines outside.

Haicheng had begun to warm up in May, and Lu Xun was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt. Through a thin layer of cotton, Gu Chen could feel the firm and hot chest under his cheek. It was

not like he had not been hugged by Lu Xun before, but because of what happened a few days ago, the feeling this time was different from before.

Gu Chen felt as if his brain was short-circuiting again.

Gao Yu looked at them and was about to speak when she heard a knock on the door.

Director Xiao stood outside the door and waved to Gao Yu, as if there was something urgent.

Gao Yu walked out. As soon as she left, there was a commotion in the classroom.

Gu Chen vaguely heard the rustling voices of the girls in front of him.

"Lu Shen looks so cute holding the baby!"

"Is that the baby the one Cui Jie threw down last time?"

"It seems so. It's really cute. If it were me, I wouldn't let Cui Jie go either!"

"Lu Shen is holding it so tight. It's like I'm holding my wife."

Gu Chen: "......?"
