Chapter 52: Special Chapter – The Confession
(Note: This is a special chapter where the characters are grown up! That it’s a romance special chapter where Nuonuo is already grown up! He’s already over eighteen! If you’re not interested, you can skip it)
Sunlight pierced through the window lattice, landing on the soft bed inside.
A small beam of sunlight playfully danced on the exposed fair arm of the youth on the bed, making him feel a little itchy. He reached out and scratched it a couple of times.
The phone on the bedside table had just stopped ringing when it started again. The youth finally couldn’t stand it and reached out to answer. “Hello?”
With a soft, nasal voice, Fei Nuo spoke without even opening his eyes.
“Haha, Fei Nuo, where did you and Gu Ze go to play? How was it? Did his confession today scare you, haha!”
Fei Nuo wrinkled his nose, his mind still hazy as he processed the words. And then, he was wide awake. “Confession? What confession?”
Lei Yan on the other end was also stunned. He looked at the time. It was almost eleven. Shouldn’t… the confession be over by now? He had thought that by this time, the two of them would probably be discussing where to eat lunch!
Sensing that he had messed something up, Lei Yan swallowed. Thinking of Gu Ze’s cold face, he thought to himself, Will I, the best man-to-be, still be able to see the bright sun tomorrow?
“It’s nothing, I remembered wrong, haha. I have something else to do, talk to you later!”
Hanging up the phone at lightning speed, Lei Yan held his phone and instructed his secretary, “Quick, book me a plane ticket. It doesn’t matter where, the sooner the better!”
Goodbye, Yunzhou. Tonight, I’m setting sail!
After the call with Lei Yan, Fei Nuo was no longer sleepy. With his messy hair, he propped his face in his hands and contemplated life.
Gu Ze is going to confess to me?
Two blushes appeared on Fei Nuo’s face. He felt as if he were about to be roasted to a crisp by the sun outside the window and couldn’t help but fan himself with his hand.
But thinking of what Lei Yan had just said, Fei Nuo couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, covering his lips and laughing. A person like Gu Ze, if he knew his confession plan had been leaked in advance, would probably be so embarrassed his ears would turn red.
Fei Nuo, who had been a little embarrassed at the thought of the confession, rolled around on the bed with his thin blanket a couple of times before he managed to suppress the smile on his lips.
No, I’d better pretend I don’t know, Fei Nuo thought.
And so, the late-rising Fei Nuo drank a glass of milk to fill his stomach and then went to his usual coffee shop, sitting by the window and struggling with his thesis.
Aiya, a university student’s daily struggle. He was barely able to meet the word count, and in the end, he had to hide a small paragraph at the end to finally make it long enough.
Just as Fei Nuo put down his mouse and looked up, Gu Ze, dressed in a rather formal suit, walked in holding a bouquet of roses, his posture upright.
Seeing Gu Ze, Fei Nuo’s first reaction was not surprise and joy at being confessed to, but to try his best to keep a straight face and not laugh.
Gu Ze walked steadily, his expression as calm and silent as usual.
But just as he was halfway there, a shop assistant rushed over with a tray and accidentally spilled coffee on him.
Gu Ze saw the coffee stains running down his gray suit, with a few drops even on the rose petals, and his hand instantly clenched.
As a person who needed a sense of formality and ceremony in everything he did, Gu Ze, in that instant, used his ability and turned back time by two minutes.
At this moment, he was standing outside the shop with the roses, his heart pounding as he pushed the door open.
Fei Nuo, who had just managed to write a three-thousand-word thesis, suddenly found it had become two thousand nine hundred. He was pulling his hair, thinking about how to fool his teacher. Then he had a flash of inspiration, typed a hundred words of nonsense, selected it, and changed the color to white, perfectly hiding it at the end.
Fei Nuo wanted to give himself a thumbs-up. He proudly lifted his little head, ready to share this brilliant method with his friends!
Seeing Gu Ze walk in, Fei Nuo suppressed the smile on his lips and his gaze fell on the roses in his hand. The bouquet of roses was delicate and dewy, and it was clear that Gu Ze had carefully selected them this morning. Including Gu Ze’s clothes and watch, everything was very formal, in line with his usual personality.
And Gu Ze, walking towards Fei Nuo, knew this time that the shop assistant would rush over from the front left. He stopped a step in advance and let the other person pass in front of him.
Having perfectly avoided being splashed with coffee, Gu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk forward with the flowers.
Stopping in front of Fei Nuo, Gu Ze was about to kneel on one knee, hand the flowers to Nuonuo, and ask him to be his boyfriend.
And the moment he knelt, a small thorny vine that had been lurking in a corner for a long time shot out and, with a strong force, tripped Gu Ze’s leg.
Kneeling on one knee, now turned into kneeling on both knees…
Fei Nuo: “…”
Looking at the triumphant little thorny vine in the corner, Gu Ze’s face turned even colder. He lowered his eyes and turned back time again by a few minutes.
He stood outside the shop, first pulling out the little thorny vine, mercilessly tying it into a bow, and then throwing it into the trash can next to him.
And so, this time, the confession finally went smoothly to the one-knee kneeling part.
Gu Ze’s fingertips trembled slightly with nervousness. His gaze on Fei Nuo was full of longing and anticipation. In the eyes of everyone in the coffee shop, he said the words, “Nuonuo…”
But he had only said two words when the scene in front of Gu Ze suddenly turned into a distorted darkness, with a bottomless cliff in front of him.
Without a doubt, this must be that guy Fei Luo!
Gu Ze had no choice but to turn back time again…
Standing outside the shop, Gu Ze suppressed the anger in his chest. With a swipe of his hand, he pulled out the mischievous little doll and, along with the little thorny vine that was also lurking in the dark, threw them into the trash can next to him.
Sitting in the coffee shop, Fei Nuo looked at the two-thousand-nine-hundred-word thesis on his computer and fell silent for a moment.
Very skillfully, he typed a paragraph of text, dragged it to the end, and then changed the color to white. Fei Nuo did this series of operations with ease, as if he had already done it at least three times.
Fei Nuo looked at the time on his phone, was silent for a long while, and then called Fei Han. “Eldest Brother, you take Second Brother and Third Brother away first. Don’t let them cause trouble for Gu Ze.”
I’ve already written my thesis several times! I really don’t want to write it again!
The kid has written until he’s sick of it!
Fei Han on the other end probably also sensed it. After agreeing, he personally came down from upstairs in the coffee shop and dragged Fei Jing and Fei Luo out.
This time, with no one secretly obstructing him, Gu Ze finally handed the roses to Fei Nuo and let out a slow breath. “Hello, my name is Gu Ze. It’s nice to meet you.”
Time seemed to have returned to that midnight when they were still children. A sweaty little Gu Ze stood opposite the sprained-ankled Nuonuo and nervously introduced himself.
At that time, Gu Ze had hoped that Nuonuo would remember his name. This time, Gu Ze hoped that Fei Nuo would remember him for a lifetime.
Fei Nuo was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then laughed out loud. “It’s nice to meet you too.”
Whether it was the three-year-old Nuonuo or the adult Fei Nuo, he had never regretted meeting Gu Ze.
Even though both their first meeting and their first confession were a complete mess.
But Gu Ze would not give up on loving him. He would restart time again and again.
So that when he reached Fei Nuo’s side, everything would be just right.
“Then please take care of me from now on, my boyfriend!”
this is so cuteee
