The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 69

Chapter 69: Roommate 29

Gu Xiu was so angry he got goosebumps, and his heart was pounding.

Chen Beichuan had tacitly agreed, and like a zombie, he had unstoppably climbed over from the end of his bed and had skillfully crawled into his quilt.

Two big boys were lying flat on a 0.9-meter dormitory single bed. It was cramped everywhere. Their shoulders were pressed tightly together, sharing each other’s body heat.

Gu Xiu swallowed a few times and said in a hoarse voice, “Didn’t you become gay… this isn’t good, is it?”

Chen Beichuan opened a pair of misty gray eyes in the night, like a galaxy that sucked him in.

Gu Xiu blinked, turned his head away, and looked at the wall on the inner side of the bed.

“Just because I became gay doesn’t mean we’re not buddies anymore?” Chen Beichuan easily threw the question back. “And aren’t you a straight man? What’s the big deal?”

Gu Xiu: “…”

“Gu Xiu,” Chen Beichuan spoke again, his voice having a drowsy and magnetic hoarseness. “Turn over and lie on your side. It’s a bit crowded.”

Gu Xiu immediately turned to face the wall.

Chen Beichuan on the outer side also turned over, but he was not back to back with him. Instead, he hugged him from behind without any sense of boundaries, his palm resting unceremoniously on his waist.

A large part of Gu Xiu’s waist instantly went numb.

Chen Beichuan, on the other hand, was very satisfied. He nudged him and said in a low voice in his neck, “Now I’m not scared.”

“Chen Beichuan, you’re talking nonsense,” Gu Xiu mumbled. “You’re still afraid of ghosts? You’re fooling a ghost.”

Chen Beichuan said shamelessly, “I’m fooling you.”

Gu Xiu: “…”

For the sake of this person who had spent a huge sum of money to play with him for a day!

“Do you know,” Chen Beichuan’s voice was very low, murmuring as if in a dream, “you’re covered in my scent…”

Gu Xiu’s back was stiff.

After a long while.

“Hey, Chen Beichuan.”

No response.

“Chen Beichuan.”

Asleep?

“Chen Beichuan…?”

Gu Xiu’s voice became more and more hesitant.

Chen Beichuan behind him was still motionless, his hand welded to his waist.

Gu Xiu pried a few times but couldn’t move it. Instead, he aroused the sleeping Chen Beichuan’s unease. With a few rustles, one hand was replaced by two, and his legs also wrapped around him, holding him tightly like a comfort blanket.

“Don’t move.”

Gu Xiu didn’t dare to move.

For no other reason, the person behind him was the protagonist with a halo, the protagonist gong among protagonists. The part of his body that was pressed against him was also very awkward. He had a gut feeling that any small movement of his would become a spark that ignited the fuse.

He was in deep water and hot fire. His eyes were as wide as copper bells. Not only could he not sleep, but he also didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.

At this moment, 007 popped out with a yawn. 【Huh? Why haven’t I been forced to shut down yet?】

Gu Xiu quickly became stressed. 【What are you thinking!? There’s no private content now…】

【You and the protagonist gong are already sleeping together…】 007 sighed. 【You’re actually just sleeping? Tsk tsk tsk.】

This big yellow system.

Gu Xiu rolled his eyes in his heart and quickly asked him, 【How’s my plot completion?】

【Plot completion rate 90%! Your crematorium is just one last node away, and the emotional drama between the protagonist gong and shou is also just the last home run away!】

【During the winter break, you accidentally run into the protagonist shou who is staying in school. You see the ambiguous marks on his body and are so jealous that your face is unrecognizable. You get him drunk in a daze and plan to force yourself on him… but in the end, of course, the protagonist gong benefits.】

Thinking of this plot, Gu Xiu, who had always had excellent sleep quality, suddenly had insomnia.

He tried to turn over to relieve his anxiety, but the crowded single bed was a dilemma. Just as he was about to give up struggling and go to sleep, suddenly, he felt something hard in the quilt.

Chen Beichuan’s phone!

His heart stopped for a moment, and his movements immediately became lighter. He lowered his head to face the wall and carefully poked the phone to light it up.

It needed a password. He didn’t know it, so he tried 9999.

Heaven was on his side, and it was successfully unlocked. Heh, this kid even learned his phone password from him.

Now, his trust in the lying Chen Beichuan was close to zero. He was afraid that the liar had a culture. Every time his intuition was wrong, he couldn’t find a loophole. Now, Chen Beichuan’s phone had been delivered to his door.

The questions about his family situation could be put aside for now. Gu Xiu thought he had good quality and respected his family privacy. He only used his phone to log into the campus forum.

Gu Xiu had seen in the forum before that Chen Beichuan was a forum administrator, but this person only managed and did not participate. The administrator account was rarely logged in. But last time, he had rejected his request to delete the post quite quickly, hehe.

Everyone also agreed that Chen Beichuan must have a lurking side account.

Now Gu Xiu saw it with his own eyes.

ID: A bird breeder who wants to publish in Nature

Reply record: 【Help】 My gay roommate is looking at me strangely…

Gu Xiu was first shocked, then he had a sudden realization, then he was angry, and then he suddenly sat up. “You dog—”

But a cold feeling came over him. He quickly covered his mouth and nose. “Achoo!”

Chen Beichuan was sleeping, but he accurately reached out a hand and pulled him into a warm embrace. He didn’t let go no matter how he struggled and even let out a satisfied murmur.

Winter was here.

Like a winter love song in a Korean drama, for the sake of the protagonist’s emotional needs, the weather would change as it pleased, and the goose-feather snow would fall as it pleased.

The muddy and desolate northern city was covered in pure white and soft new snow. After a night, the whole world was refreshed. A hint of cold air drilled through the cracks of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and slipped into the warm dormitory.

Gu Xiu only felt a cool breeze blowing over his head from time to time, and the eyeballs that were covered by his eyelids were also cold.

Gu Xiu’s eyelashes trembled, and his nose twitched. He instinctively searched for warmer air, little by little, and gently rubbed against the warm and soft pajamas.

Chen Beichuan was holding the stiff Gu Xiu, and he was actually about the same as Gu Xiu. He had only fallen asleep in the latter half of the night. As a result, when he woke up, the single bed had changed greatly. Gu Xiu, who had been wishing he could stick to the wall, had turned over, his face buried in his chest.

Chen Beichuan’s breathing hitched.

The hand on Gu Xiu’s waist also became cautious, its movements extremely light, its breathing extremely slow, for fear of disturbing the sleeping Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu, who had let down all his guard against him.

Even if he was buried in his chest, Gu Xiu’s tall figure was still there. He lowered his head slightly, and the tip of his nose was buried in the young man’s soft bangs, black and shiny, fluffy, like feathers.

He took a deep sniff, letting the sun-drenched scent of grass and seeds fill his nasal cavity.

After a night, the scent of Gu Xiu’s shampoo from last night had dissipated a lot, and his own scent was released.

No matter how he smelled it, he was a little bird.

“Mmm…”

Gu Xiu was in a daze from sleep, humming, and unceremoniously continued to nuzzle. Chen Beichuan had no choice but to switch to a supine position, with an overly heavy humanoid little bird on his chest.

In his sleep, his cheeks were squeezed out of shape on his chest, his lips were slightly open, and Gu Xiu was completely unaware.

Gu Xiu’s bed had no curtains. From Chen Beichuan’s perspective, if he raised his head slightly, he could see the floor-to-ceiling glass door at the end of his feet. Outside the door, the world was covered in silver, and the sky and earth were all white.

Occasionally, a gray-black bird would spread its wings in the air and fly past quickly.

Many birds had already flown south for the winter when the weather cooled in autumn. Those that stayed in the north and did not migrate with the seasons were resident birds. They lived together in groups and fed on the fruits and seeds of plants.

In the past few winters, Chen Beichuan would sometimes see gray sparrows hopping in the wild, and majestic and domineering eagles on the treetops.

There was also a kind of snow-white northern long-tailed tit, fluffy and round, with a little black fur on its head and tail as an embellishment. He had only seen it online, but he inexplicably felt that it was very similar to Gu Xiu.

But even a resident bird with a higher body temperature that was not afraid of the severe cold had to huddle together for warmth in the long and cold winter.

If Gu Xiu were a little bird, he would definitely be a lazy bird that stayed in its habitat for the winter, and also a socially awkward and solitary little stupid bird. The best home for him would be to be raised by a meticulous and strong human. For example, Chen Beichuan, he would definitely be an excellent little bird breeder.

Chen Beichuan thought endlessly and took a few more sniffs in Gu Xiu’s hair, his lips also lightly kissing the tips of his hair.

“Mmm…”

Gu Xiu moved, his hands unconsciously rubbing Chen Beichuan’s pajamas below, wanting to prop himself up.

Chen Beichuan pushed him down, propped himself up first, and then a kiss landed on his messy bangs.

“Good morning.”

Gu Xiu was half-asleep and only reacted after a few seconds. “…You haven’t brushed your teeth, have you!”

“Huh?” Chen Beichuan smiled. “The problem is that I haven’t brushed my teeth?”

“…” Gu Xiu was silent for a moment. “Brushing your teeth is just a matter of hygiene!”

Gu Xiu sat up in a panic, grabbed his hair to wake himself up, and said with reason and evidence, “The more important problem is… I’m a straight man. You can’t just kiss me whenever you want. You don’t need to verify it anymore. You’re 200% gay. You’re hopeless. Just accept it!”

He’s in such a good mood so early in the morning.

Chen Beichuan smiled, his laugh point getting lower day by day, which was simply inexplicable.

Gu Xiu was even more confused. He was so panicked by his smile that he quickly and bluffingly drove him away. “Quick, get off my bed!!”

Chen Beichuan got out of bed and went to the balcony to get his clothes.

The heavy snow from last night had come suddenly. The clothes they had hung outside were getting damper and damper, and they were frozen solid.

Chen Beichuan took all of Gu Xiu’s clothes, piled them up, and hung them on his chair. Then he looked up and asked the person who was still lazing in bed, “Have you seen the underwear I hung on the balcony yesterday? The black one.”

Gu Xiu denied it. “How would I know!”

“The black CK underwear,” Chen Beichuan described in detail. “It’s the same style as the gray one you stole.”

Gu Xiu was choked. He was about to deny it when he saw Chen Beichuan open his phone and start looking for criminal evidence. He quickly got out of bed to stop him. “Wait, let me think…”

He looked at the balcony through a frosted glass window. A few clothes hangers were hanging there alone, swaying with the wind and snow. There was a layer of clean and thick snow on the balcony railing, and a layer of cold water stains left by the melted snow on the tiled floor inside.

“Huh?” Gu Xiu thought for a moment. “I think I saw it when I was hanging my clothes yesterday, so I deliberately hung it on the other side…”

“Right?” Chen Beichuan showed an “as expected” expression. “You were the last person to see my missing underwear.”

“…” Gu Xiu was speechless for a moment. He belatedly realized that this person had no evidence, and his defense came late. “Isn’t that just what you said? You got up earlier than me. Who knows what you did in the morning!”

Chen Beichuan immediately opened his own closet. “If you don’t believe me, you can look. It’s really gone.”

“Anyway, I didn’t take it!” Gu Xiu was both angry and embarrassed. “It was blown away by the wind, or stolen by a pervert outside. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Alright,” Chen Beichuan smiled with a good temper. “Mm, it has nothing to do with you. You can take my things as you please.”

Even if he could take them as he pleased, stealing someone’s underwear was too perverted! The gray underwear he had taken before was brand new, and the plastic packaging was not even opened. This was completely different from stealing used underwear…

He had too many previous offenses and was speechless. He could only temporarily take the blame.

“Huh? Where’s my underwear? How did my underwear disappear?” Gu Xiu flipped through the clothes on the chair. “It’s that gray one! Where did it go?”

Chen Beichuan’s face was calm, and he replied casually, “In the closet, maybe.”

“It’s not in the closet! I just wore it yesterday and washed it at night. I remember it clearly…”

“You probably forgot where you put it,” Chen Beichuan said. “You have a bad memory anyway.”

Gu Xiu was speechless for a moment. “Chen Beichuan, you’re a double standard.”

“Yes.”

“…”

Gu Xiu rolled his eyes.

Chen Beichuan was well-versed in the art of petting a bird and asked him again, “What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll go and buy it. It’s snowing heavily outside.”

Gu Xiu quickly calmed down and reported a few dish names in one go.

As a result, Chen Beichuan only listened to half of what he said and came back with a pile of raw food. Gu Xiu, who was excitedly going through the bags, quickly got angry.

Chen Beichuan mysteriously took out a brand new induction cooker and openly violated the rules. “It’s snowing so heavily. We’ll have hot pot today. Do you want spicy or clear soup?”

“Hot pot?” Gu Xiu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very impolite. “Spicy, spicy.”

“This is Chongqing hot pot base… you were panting from the spicy rice noodles at the cafeteria. Can you eat this?” Chen Beichuan’s tone was suspicious. Seeing Gu Xiu flipping through the hot pot base with curiosity, an idea came to him, and he asked, “You’ve never had hot pot before, have you?”

“I had it once at the east gate…” Gu Xiu subconsciously answered honestly, and then he raised his eyebrows in defiance. “Of course I don’t eat it every day. I’m not as extravagant as you!”

Chen Beichuan couldn’t help but laugh. He rarely bickered with him and snatched back the hot pot base. “Then let’s just put in half.”

The wind and snow were fluttering outside the window, and the steam was rising inside. The fresh and fragrant smell of the hot pot filled every corner, making one’s mouth water.

While eating, he was still thinking about the last key plot.

He thought that the protagonist gong who had gone home for the holidays was actually renting a place outside of school. His contact with the protagonist shou who was working nearby had increased in a straight line. And after he had gotten him drunk in a fit of anger, the two had successfully hit a home run.

He had personally witnessed the ambiguous marks on their bodies, had a complete breakdown, and had thus gotten off work…

Although the current Chen Beichuan and Ji Ning’s relationship was half-baked, Gu Xiu still refused to give up. He first asked tentatively, “Chen Beichuan, are you going home for the winter break?”

“No,” Chen Beichuan said without thinking. “Didn’t I tell you that my relationship with my family is not good?”

Gu Xiu wrinkled his nose suspiciously and squinted at him.

Chen Beichuan’s face was as calm as water, without any flaws. After being stared at for a few seconds, he curled his lips and asked teasingly, “What, am I handsome?”

Gu Xiu: “Get lost.”

Just then, Chen Beichuan’s phone rang, and a woman’s voice came out.

They first talked about whether he was going home for the New Year, and Chen Beichuan spat out two short words, “Not going.”

“Then you can have a video call and let mom see…” The woman paused. “And that child, let mom see him too.”

Chen Beichuan glanced at Gu Xiu opposite him. “No.”

“Hey, you child…” Mother Chen kept asking. “Then you’re really with that child? I heard from Yuanyuan that you’re roommates.”

Chen Beichuan hesitated for a few seconds, covered his forehead, and let out a sigh after a long while, and called out helplessly, “Mom…”

Gu Xiu immediately pricked up his ears and asked with his mouth, “Are you on the phone with your family?”

Seeing Chen Beichuan’s troubled expression, Gu Xiu had a flash of inspiration, suddenly snatched the phone, and in the other’s astonished gaze, he said in one go, “Auntie, we’re fine. We’re eating now, so we’ll talk later. I wish you good health. I’m hanging up!”

Then he returned the phone as if he were taking credit. “Alright, eat.”

Chen Beichuan opened his mouth, his eyes changed, and in the end, he said nothing, letting the misunderstanding ferment.

Gu Xiu was still chattering away, oblivious. “This is delicious!”

He looked just like when he was recommending the stone pot bibimbap at the east gate.

Chen Beichuan went with the flow and put the twisted duck intestine into his mouth, nodding. “Mm, it’s indeed delicious.”

Gu Xiu’s face was shocked.

Seeing that Chen Beichuan was about to take the last few pieces of fatty beef, his favorite meat in the whole pot, he quickly stopped him. “This is not good!”

Chen Beichuan ate it in one go with a straight face. “Then I’ll help you eat it.”

Gu Xiu was defeated. “…”

Chen Beichuan was so happy that he took the initiative to clean up after the meal.

Gu Xiu comfortably became a hands-off boss, sitting lazily and burping, occasionally glancing at Chen Beichuan. Once he was noticed, he would immediately turn his head away, pretend that nothing had happened, and hum a little tune.

After dealing with the kitchen waste, Chen Beichuan suggested again, “Let’s tidy up the bed too. Can I help you?”

Gu Xiu asked in confusion, “Is there a room check even though it’s almost vacation?”

“Just in case,” Chen Beichuan said. “It’s the end of the year, and we’re rushing for KPIs. We can’t be too careful.”

“Mmm,” Gu Xiu looked at the cold and aloof campus prince, whose persona was not guaranteed, with a complicated expression and said nonchalantly, “I can just cover my bed with a quilt.”

Chen Beichuan’s own bed was as neat as new. He directly climbed onto Gu Xiu’s bed.

While Gu Xiu was looking down at his phone, he took out something from his pocket. The black CK underwear that had been missing for a day appeared in his palm.

But it was only for a short moment. The next second, he stuffed it under Gu Xiu’s pillow, in the opening of the pillowcase without a zipper.

“Gu Xiu, do you want to wash these clothes on your bed?”

Gu Xiu looked up at him and said as a matter of course, “They’re on the bed because I’m not washing them.”

Chen Beichuan held up a piece of clothing and asked, “This one too? I saw you wearing it last week.”

“No… forget it, wash it.”

“What about this one?”

“Uh… whatever.”

“What about this one?”

Gu Xiu was so annoyed that he said, “Get out of the way. I’ll clean it up myself.”

Gu Xiu climbed onto the bed and coldly drove him away. “You get down.”

But Chen Beichuan refused to leave and picked up his pillow on his own. “Let me change your pillow… case.”

His words got stuck halfway.

Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, a black, wrinkled, and soft thing fell out of the opening of the pillowcase.

Gu Xiu was first stunned. When he saw the CK lettered edge, his pupils trembled violently.

“???”

“This pair of underwear…” Chen Beichuan picked up the underwear, looked at Gu Xiu, and asked with a nonchalant and thought-provoking tone, “Don’t you think it looks like the one I lost?”
