Chapter 47 Chapter 47 So sweet, but not enough. …

The box became even quieter. A dozen people seemed to be cast a silencing spell at the same time, staring blankly at Lu Xun who was sitting next to Gu Chen.

Qi Xiang opened his mouth, his neck seemed to be wound up, clicked three times, and turned to the left: "Che, have you heard Brother Lu sing?"

Qin Che stared blankly at Lu Xun who was leaning on the back of the sofa with his legs crossed. After a long time, he squeezed out the word "yes" from his mouth.

"Fuck." Qi Xiang was even more shocked: "When?"

He had been hanging out with Lu Xun for almost two years, and he had never seen Lu Xun come to this kind of KTV party. It was already shocking that he was asked to find a place to celebrate Gu Chen's discharge from the hospital. I thought Brother Lu was just here for a bit, but I didn't expect him to sing!

"…First grade." Qin Che murmured. Lu Yi jumped off the building when Lu Xun was in the second grade of junior high school, and then that summer vacation, Liu Han also jumped off the building. Since then, Lu Xun's personality has changed drastically, and he has become more and more withdrawn. Qin Che almost forgot that he could sing.
Lu Xun seemed to have no idea how much shock his little behavior had brought to everyone present. Seeing that Gu Chen did not answer, he asked again: "What do you want to listen to?" 

Gu Chen curled up his hands on his legs. Lu Xun sat very close to him, and there was only about 1cm of space between them. Because they were close, he could clearly see the smile hidden in Lu Xun's eyes. Under the constantly fluctuating light of the KTV, there was a kind of casualness and charm that was not usually there. 

Gu Chen was a little nervous for some reason, and his voice was unclear: "...It's all right, you see." 

After he finished speaking, he saw Lu Xun's slender knuckles slide twice on the glowing screen, like an artist touching the keys of a piano. Maybe some people have a kind of elegance in everything they do, Gu Chen thought absentmindedly, and the next second, he saw that finger lightly click on the "European and American Love Songs" category. 

Gu Chen: "?" 

The song title flashed before his eyes. Before Gu Chen could see it clearly, Lu Xun clicked to play. 

The melodious and light prelude came from the top speaker, driving the embedded speakers in the wall. In an instant, the whole box was filled with a soft and romantic atmosphere as the slowly rising tone rose. 

"Help! It's "Heal"..." 

"Brother Lu! Come to the front!" 

There was a triangular booth like a small stage in the corner. Lu Xun stepped onto the marble steps and sat on the high stool behind the microphone. He had long legs, and after sitting on it, one of his legs naturally bent. His slender hands touched the silver long pole, and his lips slowly approached the microphone... 

"Take my mind and take my pain..." The ethereal and long rhythm mixed with the low voice slowly dissipated. 

Gu Chen opened his lips slightly, staring blankly at Lu Xun in the booth. 

There were several people standing unevenly between them, but for some reason, the eyes of the two met in the only gap. "...... 

Like an empty bottle takes the rain." It was like passing by a remote chapel in Northern Europe on a snowy night , and the devout worship sound flowed out from the crack of the door, through the eardrum, and slowly penetrated into the body... 

"and heal, heal, heal..." 

The floating light of stars rippled in the deep black eyes, gradually becoming deeper. Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's eyes and suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe. 

"Take my past..." 

He was very thirsty. 

Gu Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he grabbed a bottle of drink from the table at random, unscrewed it and poured it into his mouth. 

The drink was cold, but 

it was a little spicy when it went down his throat. Gu Chen gulped down several gulps. 

"Take my heart..." 

Lu Xun's singing continued. 

Gu Chen suddenly felt a little dizzy. 

He didn't know what song this was, let alone the original version. But he felt that no matter how good the original version was, it might be similar to this... 

It turned out that Lu Xun sang so well. 

Bass, breath, flow... beat after beat, as if forming a net, tightly wrapping Gu Chen's thoughts. 

He unconsciously raised his head again. 

As luck would have it, his eyes met Lu Xun's again. 

The other party was probably singing to the point of being emotional, and there seemed to be dark waves surging in his dark eyes. Gu Chen seemed to feel that the emotion was a little passionate and would burn himself, and subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze. 

But for some reason, his thoughts seemed to be tied by several invisible ropes and could not move. 

One second, two seconds, until the last tone ended... 

The box was silent for a long time. Everyone seemed to have been taken away. After an unknown amount of time, a faint sobbing sound was heard. 

"...Too beautiful, woo..." The emotional girl covered her mouth and cried. 

"...Awesome, Brother Lu." A boy's voice was hoarse, "The king of love songs delayed by the school bully." 

"One more song..." 

"Yes! One more song!" 

The atmosphere gradually heated up. Gu Chen didn't know if he was affected, and he felt a little hot. 

He stood up and quietly left the box while everyone's attention was on Lu Xun. 

Cold water flowed out of the faucet. Gu Chen took a handful of water and poured it on his face. It took a lot of effort to cool down the heat on his face. 

But he was still a little dizzy. 

Gu Chen turned on the faucet, and his mind was still in the box just now, Lu Xun's face floating in the halo, and the melodious and magnetic singing. 

Something was wrong. Gu Chen felt that he was not normal. He opened the door of the bathroom in a daze, wondering whether the box was on the left or the right. 

"Gu Chen." 

Gu Chen looked up and saw Du Xin standing on his left hand side with a pack of tissues in his hand. 

"Are you okay?" Du Xin took two steps forward and saw that Gu Chen's neck and face were covered with a layer of light pink, and his heartbeat accelerated a little. 

"... It's okay." Gu Chen raised his lips, seeing that Du Xin was coming to the left, guessing that the box should be on the left, "Going back?" 

He said as he took a few steps forward, but his feet suddenly felt weak. 

"Be careful!" Du Xin stretched out his hand to Gu Chen, but before his fingertips touched, he saw that there was suddenly an arm on Gu Chen's waist. 

He exerted a little force on his arm, and his thin muscles tensed up, like a sharp and strong knife. Du Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Lu Xun hugging Gu Chen and pulling him into his arms. 

A person with skin as white as snow, every inch of his exposed skin was now tinged with a charming blush, his cold temperament dissipated, and he inexplicably gained a bit of beauty and charm. 

Lu Xun felt his eyelids twitch, and his arms tightened unconsciously, and he said in a deep voice: "You are drunk." 

Drunk? 

Gu Chen's eyes were confused, and he heard Lu Xun say to Du Xin, "I'll take him to sober up," and then he was half-supported and half-hugged by Lu Xun and walked away. 

After walking for a while, after their backs rubbed against each other's chest muscles countless times, Gu Chen felt something was wrong: "I'll go by myself..."
"Shh." A breath passed by his ear, and Gu Chen trembled, as if he had returned to the state where his thoughts were wrapped up by the intense singing.

In addition to the singing area, the KTV also has a special area for guests to rest. Lu Xun helped Gu Chen to a seat in the corner, asked him to sit on the sofa facing the wall, and then went to the bar to ask the waiter for a bowl of sobering soup.

After asking, he came back and saw Gu Chen leaning on the back of the sofa, his expression a little dazed. Lu

Xun turned the screen of his mobile phone upside down on the table and slowly sat down next to him: "You can't drink, but you drink so much?"

Gu Chen murmured: "I didn't..."

Suddenly, the blue drink that he had just gulped down flashed through his mind. Gu Chen realized belatedly: "Is that wine?"

After asking, he felt something was wrong. Lu Xun had been singing, so how could he know what he drank.

"Alcoholic beverage. The alcohol content of the one you drank is relatively high, about 25%..."

Lu Xun said, and suddenly laughed: "You can't drink much, you elementary school bully."

Although 25 is a bit high for alcoholic beverages, it is far from the point where people can get drunk after two sips, unless they are particularly hard to drink.

Gu Chen felt even more dizzy, not sure if it was because of the continued effect of alcohol or because of Lu Xun's long-drawn call to him just now.

"Hello." The waitress came over with a tray, on which was a cup of warm water and a small white porcelain bowl. She put the cup of water on the table and said apologetically, "We are out of sobering soup here, so I warmed up some yogurt for you, which can also sober you up. Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Xun nodded: "Thank you."

After drinking a cup of warm water, Gu Chen felt much better. Lu Xun used a spoon to stir the honey and yogurt in the small bowl, and scooped up a shallow spoonful: "Here."

Gu Chen tilted his head slightly, glanced at the spoon handed to his mouth, and subconsciously opened his mouth. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

What is he doing? Should Lu Xun feed him?

Gu Chen suddenly woke up a little: "I'll do it myself." He

was about to get a spoon and a bowl. Lu Xun

didn't give him any: "Can you do it?"

Gu Chen nodded vigorously.

Seeing that he insisted, Lu Xun paused, and handed over the bowl and spoon with some disappointment: "Slow down."

Gu Chen nodded, holding the bowl and the spoon and drinking yogurt. At first, he drank slowly as Lu Xun said, but later, his movements became faster and faster.

The two of them sat close to each other, and he could sense that Lu Xun was looking at him with just a glance. His eyes never moved away.

What's going on? Is the school bully's hobby so unique? He likes to watch people eat? Moreover, Gu Chen just found out that it seems strange for them to sit side by side in a row like this.

"...Okay." Gu Chen put down the bowl with a stiff face, "Let's go back." Lu

Xun saw him turn around, his eyes dimmed.

Maybe because he was drunk, Gu Chen didn't realize that he didn't finish his food. The milky white viscous liquid slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth, forming a sharp contrast with the light pink thin lips, which made people easily think of some scenes that they shouldn't think of. Lu

Xun felt that breathing became a little difficult.

But Gu Chen was still unaware and was about to get up.

Lu Xun grabbed his hand.

"There is something on your mouth."

Gu Chen was stunned and was about to raise his hand.

Lu Xun pressed his thumb to the corner of his mouth and slowly wiped off the remaining liquid for him.

His fingertips were very hot, and there was a little callous on the inside. When it rubbed across the skin, there was a tingling sensation.

Gu Chen's drunken dizziness had just subsided a little, and his whole body seemed to be hit by an electric current.

"Thank you, thank you." Gu Chen paused and quickly got up, "Let's go back."

Lu Xun looked at him deeply, and slowly moved his long legs stuck between the seat and the table leg outward to make a gap.

Gu Chen didn't think too much, wiping the gap and stepping out.

The two legs inevitably rubbed against each other. Although they were both wearing long pants, the material of the summer school uniform was very thin. With a slight rubbing, one could feel the warmth wrapped under the material.

Lu Xun sat where he was, feeling the residual warmth on the side of his legs. Gu Chen walked a distance, turned around and asked him if he was not leaving.

"I'm coming." Lu Xun slowly stood up, raised his hand while the people in front of him were not paying attention, and slowly licked the remaining liquid on his thumb.

So sweet.

But it's not enough.
