The warmth of the touch brought Gu Bing back from the whirlpool of responsibility. His pupils constricted slightly as he abruptly grabbed Song Chuyi's hand.
Song Chuyi noticed his action, his long lashes fluttered lightly, and he pulled back, withdrawing from his lips.
"Brother Gu, are you feeling better now?"
His voice was much softer than before, with a faint redness spreading across his ears.
That blush even extended to his neck, dotting his fair skin with a rosy hue.
Gu Bing tightly held onto Song Chuyi's wrist and whispered, "Yes."
Desire surged through his mind, eroding his reason and self-control.
These emotions, originating from the deepest part of his body, were almost burying the habits that had followed him for so long.
Gu Bing even felt that in the moment Song Chuyi kissed him, he could give up the Gu Group.
The impulse rose in his heart but was quickly suppressed by reason.
Fortunately, it was suppressed by reason.
Gu Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly, "A'Chu, come here and give me a hug."
He reached out his hand, looking at Song Chuyi with a deep gaze.
He had made some vague decision in his heart, just waiting for the right opportunity.
Song Chuyi didn't think as much as he did. Seeing that he wanted a hug, he naturally leaned over and gave Gu Bing a big hug.
"Brother Gu, don't be upset after a hug, okay~"
He wrapped his arms around his waist, his slender, fair hands gently patting him.
Gu Bing's lips curved slightly, emitting a sexy low hum from his nose.
"Yes."
After Song Chuyi comforted Gu Bing, he was pressed to study beside him.
Fortunately, he wasn't very resistant to studying; otherwise, he would have really caused trouble with Gu Bing.
He was very interested in the artificial intelligence here, so he took many books from him to read.
In the office, Gu Bing was handling documents while Song Chuyi sat at the desk next to him, studying.
The light fell on both of them, creating an unusually harmonious scene.
---
Time passed swiftly, and another week went by. In recent days, Gu Bing's sleep time had increased again, reaching an astonishing six hours, a level that even his personal doctor marveled at.
Gu Bing visibly became more peaceful, the coldness in him diminishing significantly. Occasionally, when he looked at Song Chuyi, there was even a hint of gentleness.
It was just that Gu Bing had become clingier, insisting on having Song Chuyi stay with him almost every day.
Even when Song Chuyi went to the restroom, he would be asked how long he would be gone, severely reducing his free time and leaving him with little time to go out and play.
Despite this, everything else was moving in a positive direction.
On Saturday, Zhao Cheng invited Gu Bing to play golf.
As Gu Bing's little canary, Song Chuyi naturally accompanied him.
While Gu Bing played, he sat in the rest area playing with his phone.
After only a few minutes, Zhao Cheng suddenly approached him.
His expression was somewhat complicated, and he coughed lightly before speaking, "I heard from Lin Xin that it was you who suggested he participate in the talent show."
Song Chuyi looked up at him, "I only proposed the idea; the decision is his."
Zhao Cheng sat down, his expression becoming even more complex.
"Lin Xin grew up with Brother Gu, and being with him has almost become an obsession. With your interference, once Lin Xin comes out of the training camp, he might hold it against you."
Song Chuyi showed a puzzled expression, "But Lin Xin is clearly afraid of Brother Gu. Is he still determined to be with him despite that fear?"
To the point where it becomes an obsession?
He found it hard to understand.
"You don't understand," Zhao Cheng sighed, "Growing up with someone, everyone assumes you'll end up together, and you've already come to rely on them. Would you give up because of fear?"
Song Chuyi said matter-of-factly, "Yes!"
Zhao Cheng: ...
"You're still young," Zhao Cheng pretended to be profound, "Not understanding is normal; you'll understand eventually."
Song Chuyi laughed, "President Zhao, you claim to understand, but if you believe Lin Xin should be with Brother Gu, why did you bring me here in the first place?"
Zhao Cheng was taken aback, "Because..."
"Because you know Lin Xin can't help Brother Gu," Song Chuyi continued, "President Zhao, aren't you supposed to be very understanding?"
Zhao Cheng: ...
Usually, he was quite eloquent, but today he actually found himself speechless in front of a little kid!
"Lin Xin will come back and give you trouble," he finally managed to say.
"He won't," Song Chuyi scrolled through his phone and pulled up Lin Xin's popularity chart from the talent show, "Look, Lin Xin is currently one of the top favorites. Many people like him because of his performance on the show and have become his fans."
"His debut is just a matter of time, and more and more people will like him then."
"Lin Xin enjoys being liked and relies on it. His heart is only so big; after giving a large part to his fans, there's only a tiny bit left for Brother Gu."
Song Chuyi separated his thumb and index finger slightly, "That tiny bit is further diminished by his fear of Brother Gu."
"So he has no reason to come and cause me trouble."
Song Chuyi smiled, "Mr. Zhao, you're overthinking it."
Zhao Cheng looked at Song Chuyi with a hint of shock, sizing him up, his tone admiring.
"Brother Gu really found a gem!"
Actually, he was the one who had delivered this gem.
Song Chuyi put away his phone and flashed a smile, "But Mr. Zhao, you did remind me of something."
He stood up, beaming, "I know how to make sure Brother Gu gets eight hours of sleep every day."
After saying that, he turned and walked toward Gu Bing, leaving Zhao Cheng scratching his head in confusion.
What... what was all that about!
Seeing Song Chuyi approach, Gu Bing's previously unfriendly gaze softened.
"What did you talk about?"
"We talked about Lin Xin," Song Chuyi replied obediently, "Brother Gu, you don't like Lin Xin, do you?"
"I don't," Gu Bing answered without hesitation, "I've always considered him my younger brother."
Song Chuyi felt relieved, realizing he hadn't ruined a marriage.
Gu Bing observed his expression, pursing his lips.
"A'Chu, I only have familial feelings for Lin Xin."
Song Chuyi blinked, not responding.
Gu Bing became anxious and grabbed Song Chuyi's hand, "Really, I only see him as my younger brother."
"The person I like is..."
