Chapter 113: Titmouse 03
Gu Xiu was lying on his bed, resting and disappearing. He was a little bored alone, and he didn’t have 007 to accompany him, so he settled for the next best thing and said to the main god, 【Ninth Uncle, that old-fashioned daddy-type gong, is the most susceptible to being teased.】
The main god seriously corrected, 【Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t. He’s self-disciplined, strict with himself, and doesn’t get close to any men or women.】
Gu Xiu only listened to the first half of the sentence, his eyes flying, 【Then I’m a special case. Thanks for the compliment.】
Main god: 【…】
This main god would go offline and not speak if he disagreed. Gu Xiu had no choice but to ask him himself, 【Main god, is Ninth Uncle’s wish fulfilled?】
The main god was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, 【…So you were trying to do the mission when you were messing around before?】
【Who was messing around? Isn’t this going after him while also doing the wish mission you mentioned?】 Gu Xiu’s work style was consistent from beginning to end, repeating, 【Killing two birds with one stone, achieving twice the result with half the effort.】
The main god was silent for a moment and said disappointingly, 【But the mission shows that it’s not completed.】
Gu Xiu snorted, unconcerned, 【Anyway, I don’t want to finish it so early. If all the missions are completed, will we have to be separated again?】
The main god was silent and did not answer.
Gu Xiu was full of expectation and tentatively asked again, 【Then… if we complete the mission, can we be together?】
He was prepared for the main god to be silent, but he didn’t expect the other to give a completely unexpected answer: 【I don’t know.】
Gu Xiu couldn’t help but be stunned. 【You’re the main god. In a small world, is there something you don’t know?】
The main god didn’t speak again.
Gu Xiu guessed to himself, 【Then my boyfriend is quite amazing. I thought he was just a high-level bug, but I didn’t expect his level to be even higher than yours.】
The main god was concise. 【Not necessarily.】
Gu Xiu: 【Oh, so your levels are about the same?】
Main god: 【…】
【I told you you’re a bit like Ninth Uncle. He can’t win an argument with me.】 Gu Xiu was so proud that his eyebrows were flying. He was rolling on the bed and said, 【A daddy-type gong is amazing, but he’s too uptight. People, being too decent is a burden. Quality is also sacrificing yourself to benefit others. I say, you might as well imitate Chen Beichuan. A shameless person is invincible.】
Only then did the main god say, 【I’m not imitating anyone.】
The usually flat mechanical sound seemed to have a few more ups and downs.
Gu Xiu curled his lips in contempt. 【Hehe, are you not happy?】
Main god: 【…】
Gu Xiu had come to this chaotic small world with the heavy responsibility of fulfilling the wishes of three key characters. The three’s identities and positions were completely different, and it was not easy to even get close to the other party.
Gu Xiu’s identity was the protagonist gong’s rival—the villain Lu Shichen’s adopted son. Fortunately, the protagonist gong was in a coma, a vegetative person in bed.
Gu Xiu stayed up late at home to study, researching ways to go after him. He was very diligent, as if he had brought the energy of being Jin Chenhan’s secretary to this world.
The main god turned into a gloomy gray mist, wrapped around him from behind, and even a little gray cloud popped out from the top of his head, casting a gloomy shadow on the paper.
“Oh my,” Gu Xiu was startled.
After composing himself, he frowned, his eyes one big and one small, and said strangely, 【Is this the form of your mental energy? You—why aren’t you a ball of light?】
The gray mist subconsciously gathered into a ball, and then, as if it had realized that its action was superfluous, it “poofed” and scattered, saying seriously, 【Mental energy has no fixed form.】
【Oh,】 Gu Xiu didn’t ask much and said casually, 【Although they’re both mental energy, 007 looks much more sunny than you. He often makes my eyes hurt, but occasionally he can be my desk lamp and flashlight, which is quite useful.】
Main god: 【…】
After choking the gray mist, Gu Xiu continued to draw on the paper. After a few minutes, he looked up and saw that the gray unknown object was faintly glowing, like a UFO hanging in mid-air.
Gu Xiu paused for a moment, held back from complaining, and only showed him the plan in his hand. 【I’m planning to go to the hospital to be a nurse for the protagonist gong and snatch the protagonist shou’s script. I’m very skilled at this.】
The main god was unconcerned. 【You’re his rival’s adopted son. The people around him won’t let you get close to him.】
Gu Xiu was full of confidence. 【I’ve checked. There’s no information about Ninth Uncle’s adopted son online. As expected, just like in the first world, he strictly protects my private information… And look, even an unknown college student like the protagonist shou can easily get a job as a nurse for the protagonist gong. There must be some coincidence. As long as I go early enough, this opportunity will be mine!】
Finally, he patted his chest. 【I’ll set off tomorrow morning!】
The lazy Gu Xiu had been influenced by his lover and had become a decisive man of action.
Now he could even give up sleeping in. At 7:30 in the morning, Lu Shichen went out to work. He immediately poked his head out of the bedroom and quietly left the large villa, heading to the hospital where the protagonist gong was.
In this kind of novel world that was mainly about love, there would often be all sorts of bugs. In short, everything was for the convenience of the protagonists’ love. For example, the high-end VIP ward floor where the protagonist gong lived, Gu Xiu couldn’t get in. He immediately made a call to Qin Chun, beat him up without a word, and then made a big fuss to get him hospitalized.
As long as there was enough money, all problems were not problems.
After a detour, Gu Xiu could finally register as a visitor and smoothly enter the floor where the high-end VIP ward was. He could wander around without being chased away by the security guards.
Qin Chun was confused. He took a sum of hush money and obediently stayed in the hospital room arranged for him.
Gu Xiu left him without any reluctance and went to find the protagonist gong’s ward. Just right, it was at the other end of the corridor, 801.
Gu Xiu quietly pushed the door open. The high-end ward was a suite. He had to walk through a corridor to see the scene by the hospital bed.
A thin man who looked to be in his thirties, probably a nurse, was sitting by the bed, dozing off with his face in his hand.
Gu Xiu quietly went up.
However, the dozing nurse’s head nodded, and he suddenly woke up. His gaze was fixed on the person who had come, and he quickly asked, “Huh? Who are you?”
“I’m here to visit him,” Gu Xiu said without showing any emotion. He didn’t know the protagonist gong’s name yet, so he showed the nurse the fruit basket in his hand.
“Oh, oh,” the nurse did not suspect him and asked again, “What’s your relationship with Mr. Jin?”
Mr. Jin?
Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment and quickly walked over.
He saw the patient’s name card at the end of the bed, with three large words: Jin Chenhan.
Gu Xiu was shocked for a moment. He tried his best to control his expression and didn’t hear what the nurse had asked again. He hurriedly went around to the head of the bed to look at the unconscious person’s face.
But, this person did not look exactly the same as the Jin Chenhan he knew. His appearance was similar but different from the Lu Shichen from yesterday. Both of them were about three or four parts similar to the original “chen” sir.
“Uh, who on earth are you?” the nurse’s voice came again.
“Ah…” Gu Xiu’s superb acting skills came online. “I’m sorry, I’m here to see my brother… I was wondering why he had hired a nurse. Our family doesn’t have the money. I was originally planning to come and take care of him myself.”
Gu Xiu’s appearance was young, at most just an adult, and his face was full of anxiety, looking pitiful. The nurse’s heart softened, and he patiently informed him, “You should be in the wrong room. Mr. Jin has been living here for a month.”
“Mmm… maybe I’m in the wrong place. Thank you,” Gu Xiu held it in with great difficulty, and stiffly returned the way he came, changing his course to Qin Chun’s side.
At noon, Gu Xiu disguised the takeout from a high-end restaurant, put it in a metal thermos, and walked around the corridor a few times. Heaven did not fail the hardworking person, and he finally “ran into” the hungry nurse.
“Big brother, this is the chicken soup I made at home. Do you want a bowl?”
“You’re too kind…” the nurse pretended to refuse a little and decisively reached out his hand. “Hehe, then thank you.”
In three days, Gu Xiu had implanted a poor and hardworking college student persona in the nurse’s heart.
The nurse saw him busy in the other ward, and he wanted to say something but held back several times. When he heard him on the phone borrowing money to save up for his tuition, he finally couldn’t help but go up and throw out an olive branch.
“Hey, Little Gu,” the nurse said roughly. “Anyway, you’re at the hospital every day. How about you take care of Mr. Jin too? He’s a vegetative person. You just have to help him wipe his body and turn him over. It’s very simple, and you don’t have to stay with him all the time…”
The lazy nurse tried to outsource his own work.
Finally, he said with seeming generosity, “Two hundred yuan a day. Do you want to do it?”
The corner of Gu Xiu’s mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile, “Sure!”
In the morning, the nurse took Gu Xiu to familiarize himself with the work of taking care of Jin Chenhan. In the afternoon, he tried to let him take care of Jin Chenhan alone for half a day, step by step, and gradually handed over all his work to him.
Seeing the nurse leave, Gu Xiu was completely relieved and began his own mission.
It was just that the current Jin Chenhan was unconscious, and he had no way to start. He couldn’t guess what Jin Chenhan’s wish was at all.
Gu Xiu sat in the chair by the bed, looked around, and couldn’t help but murmur, “This place is quite similar to the hospital at that time…”
It was very similar to the hospital he had stayed in after the car accident in the 《Etiquette of an Affair [EO]》 small world. At that time, Jin Chenhan had secretly come to find him, and to soothe his mental power, he had licked him from head to toe…
Thinking of this, Gu Xiu couldn’t help but feel his cheeks grow hot.
He seriously looked at the sleeping person on the hospital bed. His features were all slightly different from what he remembered, and only the shape of his eyes was unchanged. He looked around again to confirm that there was no one, and went over to lift the man’s eyelids.
His eye color was a little lighter than Lu Shichen’s, a beautiful amber.
It was not the gray eyes in his memory either.
【So strange. Why did they all change their appearance in this world? By the way, they can’t possibly live in the same world with the same face.】 Gu Xiu guessed and guessed, and gradually got closer to the truth, and became excited. 【I know… the one in the small world before was his real appearance, right? Isn’t it?】
The main god was silent.
Forget it.
Gu Xiu was too lazy to let his imagination run wild. He opened the man’s eyelids again, and with his other hand, he held up his index finger, moved it left and right in front of his eyes, and confirmed if there was any eye-following reaction.
His eyeballs did not follow. He then took a small flashlight and shone it on his pupils. His pupils did not contract, and there was no normal light reaction, which meant that the patient was in a deep coma.
Gu Xiu was able to judge from his self-taught knowledge that the current Jin Chenhan was a genuine vegetative person.
The main god also informed him, 【Even if the protagonist shou comes over, he will have to wait until the protagonist shou has personally taken care of him for a period of time before he can occasionally hear the protagonist shou’s voice.】
Gu Xiu hated trouble the most, but the one lying in the hospital bed was his lover. He had no other choice but to patiently stay by the bed, eagerly waiting for a medical miracle to happen.
At six in the evening, Gu Xiu was preparing to get off work. The nursing staff at the hospital would come over twice more at night for a unified patrol of the wards.
But when he took out his phone, he saw that Lu Shichen was actually going to work overtime again and would not be coming back for dinner.
Four days ago, he had reunited with Lu Shichen. He was impatient to flirt with him. At first glance, it was quite effective, but as a result, this person was still working overtime every day.
It was most likely a fake overtime, a real escape.
Gu Xiu was a little depressed. He simply stayed at the hospital to work overtime and accompany Jin Chenhan, who had turned into a vegetative person.
He didn’t forget to hum in his mind, 【Hmph, you work overtime, I’ll work overtime too!】
The taciturn main god suddenly said, 【His overtime is definitely not like you, who is with another man outside.】
【…】 Gu Xiu was speechless for a moment. His eyes darted around, and he said sharply, 【My mind is already occupied by another man. You’re the one who’s least qualified to criticize me for being a scum, unless you get out of my mind.】
The main god did not make a sound, so Gu Xiu continued to ask, 【Aren’t you a man?】
The main god had no choice but to answer, 【…I am.】
【You don’t even have a body. How can you confirm that you’re a man?】 Gu Xiu kept asking. 【Do you like girls?】
Main god: 【Self-identifying as a male does not necessarily mean liking women. Aren’t you?】
Gu Xiu: 【Don’t tell me you’re also a gay man.】
Main god: 【…No.】
Gu Xiu: 【See, you’re contradicting yourself again.】
The main god couldn’t win an argument with him and pretended to be offline again.
Gu Xiu didn’t waste any more words and huffed and puffed as he turned the heavy Jin Chenhan over.
Taking care of a vegetative person was a hard job. Just turning him over had to be done once every two hours. A mere two hundred yuan a day was a complete deception of a simple college student. But he didn’t care about these things.
Before, the nurse had told him that he had to wipe Jin Chenhan’s body once every two to three days. He didn’t want to hand over this job, so he went to get a basin of hot water, placed it at the head of the bed, and then unbuttoned the man on the hospital bed.
One, two, three…
While he was doing things to the unconscious person, he was mumbling to himself, “In the past, you were always like this to me. I didn’t expect the tables to turn…”
They had been honest with each other countless times, but after his lover had become an unconscious vegetative person, Gu Xiu always felt a sense of guilt for taking advantage of him.
He had no choice but to talk to himself and give himself a psychological comfort. “I’m just going to wipe your body. I’m not going to do anything else.”
All his attention was on the gradually exposed chest, so much so that he failed to notice that a hand outside the quilt had moved slightly.
He hadn’t seen Lu Shichen’s body yet, but he had seen Jin Chenhan’s. This body was exactly the same as in his memory.
Gu Xiu was satisfied and touched it a few times. The texture was Q-elastic, and he couldn’t put it down. At the same time, he didn’t forget to explain in a sanctimonious manner, “I’ll give you a massage first.”
After a long while, he remembered that he had to wipe the person’s body, and the water was already cold.
The long and slender hand that was on the bedsheet had moved slightly again, but Gu Xiu had just happened to turn around to get hot water, and by a stroke of luck, he had not seen it.
This time, Gu Xiu’s words and actions were consistent. He didn’t do anything else and seriously wiped Jin Chenhan’s clean body, not forgetting to politely avoid the private parts.
“I won’t wipe here… it’s not dirty.”
The towel in his hand made a circle in the middle of his thigh, and he withdrew it. Finally, he pulled up the person’s pants, patted the quilt, and was done.
Little did he know that the finger that had been trembling just now had suddenly stopped, as if it were very regretful.
Gu Xiu was oblivious, and after he was done, he hummed a little tune in a good mood.
“It’s a little late… mmm, but I still have to go back,” Gu Xiu looked at the time. A text message from Lu Shichen urging him to go home was also on his phone. He was preparing to say goodbye, and he reluctantly looked back three times with every step. “Then I’ll go first…”
Bang!
As if a dry ice machine on a stage had let out a puff of smoke, a cloud of white smoke appeared out of thin air at the door, completely drowning Gu Xiu’s figure.
After a moment, the white eyes dispersed, but the tall young man was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Gu Xiu himself was even more confused.
He blinked. The familiar ward in front of him seemed to have been magnified by dozens of times. The hospital bed had become very far away. He tried his best to raise his head, but he couldn’t see the figure on it.
Not far from him, his clothes were piled up in a mess on the ground, and his phone had half-slipped out of his pocket.
He pattered, his body swaying as he hurried over. He hadn’t even reached his destination after a long while. He was so anxious that he jumped up, and his body actually floated up, and then he landed steadily on the phone screen.
“…?”
He lowered his head and saw the fluffy white fur on his chest, like a dandelion. However, because the white fur was too fluffy, he couldn’t see his feet below, let alone operate his phone.
He tried his best to tilt his body and finally thumped down on the phone. Now he could finally see his own reflection on the black screen.
“????”
His terrified bean-like eyes were surrounded by white fluff.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!!??”
