Embark on a journey through the starry sea, and together journey through the clouds and rain of Wushan.
It's hard to part.
"Miss, let me double-check, is it 13 doses of hangover remedy?"
“That’s right.” Xu Youqing nodded. “And another serving of freshly squeezed orange juice, please.”
The waiter confirmed several times, glanced into the private room, nodded, and left.
Xu Youqing turned to look at the men and women sprawled out at the dining table, and felt a throbbing pain in her temples.
She and her brother were celebrating their birthdays, and a bunch of them ended up getting completely drunk.
System: I'll stay here for a while.
Xu Youqing raised an eyebrow, thinking about what might be happening to Xiang Yu at this moment, and nodded knowingly.
"Sister..." Xu Youlu murmured as she lay on the table.
Xu Youqing walked over, squatted down, and leaned close to his face, a gentle expression on her face, and kissed him on the cheek.
I got up and opened the window, letting the cold wind blow in.
-Xu Youqing: Please keep an eye on Xiao Luo for me during this time... If he does anything wrong, please tell me.
System: Okay.
'Buzz—Buzz—'
Gu Chen straightened up slightly, picked up the phone on the bedside table, saw the caller ID, took a moment to catch his breath, and answered the call.
"Hello? Teacher, yes, I'm at the guesthouse. Check the class attendance before 11 p.m.? Okay, no problem. Huh? Me? I'm fine. I just did some exercise, push-ups, I'm a little tired. Okay, okay."
Gu Chen put down his phone, leaned down and kissed Xiang Yu.
"Huff... huff..."
Xiang Yu lay on the bed with a blank stare, her eyes red as if she had just been crying.
I moved my waist, which aggravated a certain area of pain, and I felt uncomfortable all over.
Gu Chen got up and cleaned up the mess on the floor, then lay back down next to Xiang Yu and hugged him. "I'm sorry, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's alright." There was both pain and pleasure, something I had never experienced before.
Xiang Yu shook his head, and seeing that Gu Chen was still looking at a certain spot, he gently punched him.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Chen swallowed hard, unsure whether he should tell him his guess. His thoughts were in disarray. What if he was right? Would his boyfriend leave him?
Gu Chen was clearly preoccupied, and Xiang Yu couldn't figure him out. Their relationship had just taken a further step forward, so she asked him directly, "What do you want to say?"
"Hmm..." Gu Chen hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking, "Baby, are you human?"
"ah?"
"No, no, I mean, are you... a fairy?"
"?" Xiang Yu was afraid she had misheard, after all, this shouldn't have come from Gu Chen, a staunch materialist, so she asked again, "Huh?"
“It’s just…” Gu Chen said a long sentence, all of which were his own guesses during the day. After he finished speaking, he fell silent and just stared at Xiang Yu.
"I am a human." Xiang Yu called out to the system in her mind, but received no response. Gu Chen had guessed the general direction correctly, but Xiang Yu didn't know whether she should tell him the specifics. She could only wait for the system to confirm before telling him.
"I'll tell you the rest when the time is right, okay?"
Gu Chen leaned in and kissed Xiang Yu's forehead, whispering, "Okay... so you really won't grow a tail?"
Xiang Yu: "?"

Chapter 89 Gu Chen: I was born with full talent
When Xiang Yu woke up in the morning, he was alone in the room. He moved his waist and found that he recovered quickly and felt no discomfort.
Xiang Yu glanced at the trash can; all the trash he'd created last night had been thrown away, and now a brand new trash bag was placed over it.
As she went into the bathroom to wash up, she stared at herself in the mirror. There were still faint pink marks on her neck. Thinking about what had happened last night, Xiang Yu couldn't help but blush again.
After washing up and getting dressed, Xiangyu came out just as the door opened.
Gu Chen was carrying breakfast when he saw Xiang Yu standing at the bathroom door. He quickly put down the breakfast and went over to help him.
"Why are you up? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Is there anything wrong?" Gu Chen carefully helped him sit down on the edge of the bed, leaving Xiang Yu completely bewildered by his behavior.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Yu was a little confused.
"It's not like last night... I heard that things can be tough down there, and people often wake up with back pain and fever in the morning." Gu Chen looked worried, touched Xiang Yu's forehead, and then rubbed Xiang Yu's lower back. "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
"I'm fine." Xiang Yu casually picked up her phone and glanced at it; it was 7:05.
Gu Chen brought over the breakfast, which consisted of sealed liquid foods: a cup of pumpkin and millet porridge and a cup of soy milk.
He inserted a straw into the soy milk and handed it to Xiang Yu's mouth. "We'll meet at 8:15. Breakfast won't be served until 9:00. You can eat something first. I didn't dare buy fried dough sticks or anything like that; they're too greasy."
Xiang Yu took a couple of puffs, but couldn't help choking when she met Gu Chen's eyes. "Cough cough!"
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Startled, Gu Chen moved closer and reached down to pull out two tissues to wipe his mouth.
"I can do it myself." Xiang Yu took the tissue, frowned slightly as she stared at Gu Chen's current appearance, and reminded him, "Could you please stop looking at me like that?"
Gu Chen's gaze at this moment could not be described as tender and affectionate; his eyes were filled with gentle, rippling waves of tenderness. If there were a third person present, their relationship would definitely be exposed.
"What's wrong with me?" Gu Chen had dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't slept well all night and kept waking up after a short while. Looking at her boyfriend's sleeping face, she touched his forehead to check if his temperature was normal and rubbed his waist to make sure he wasn't uncomfortable the next day.
Xiang Yu turned on the front camera of her phone and showed it to him, saying, "The look in your eyes right now is even more genuine than Xu Youqing's acting last night."
Seeing that he looked tired and haggard, and worried that he hadn't slept well, she advised, "Lie down and rest for a while longer. I'll wake you up when it's time."
Xiang Yu inserted a straw into the pumpkin and millet porridge and handed it to him, saying, "Drink this before you go to sleep."
Gu Chen shook his head, lay back on the bed, and as his head hit the soft pillow, his eyelids began to feel heavy. Exhaustion washed over him instantly. "I'll sleep for half an hour. Remember to wake me up in half an hour. I need to knock on the doors of the boys' dorm to wake them up, and also ask Tang Yue to help with the girls..."
His voice grew softer and softer, replaced by even breathing.
Xiang Yu took off Gu Chen's shoes and pushed them towards the middle of the bed, covered him with the blanket, and then sat on the other bed to take a nap.
Time ticked by, and thirty minutes passed quickly. The phone alarm rang, and Xiang Yu turned off his phone and opened his eyes.
She walked up to Gu Chen, squatted down, and reached out to shake him.
"Time is up."
He was met with the sound of breathing. Seeing that the other person was still fast asleep, he simply stopped trying to wake him.
Xiang Yu reached out and brushed aside the stray hairs covering his eyes from his forehead. Looking at the other's sleeping face, which resembled that of a child, he smiled, placed a kiss on his forehead, took his keys, and went out.
'Bang bang—'
"..."
'Bang bang—'
"..."
'Bang--'
"Who is it! What time is it... Brother Yu?" Zhang Zitong opened the door shirtless, cursing at the top of his lungs but not daring to continue.
"Get up, meet downstairs at 8:15." Xiang Yu glanced around the room expressionlessly, and seeing Xu Youluo and Jiang Wensong still lying on the bed, added, "Don't fall asleep again."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Zitong watched as Xiang Yu turned to go next door before closing the door.
The same steps, the same cursing that ends in silence, the same relaying of the message.
Yang Shuhuan still had a headache, and rubbing his temples, he nodded groggily, "I'll wake them up right now... Shouldn't this be Chen-ge's job?"
Xiang Yu told the truth: "He didn't sleep well last night, so he slept in a little longer this morning."
I didn't sleep well last night... Those two went home pretty early last night... I guess they weren't up to anything... I didn't sleep well last night...
"Damn?!" Yang Shuhuan closed the door and suddenly woke up.
Why is it that Brother Chen didn't sleep well?
After knocking on the boy's door, Xiang Yu sent two more messages to Tang Yue. When she didn't get a reply, she simply made a voice call.
Upon seeing the caller ID on the other end of the phone, Tang Yue sat bolt upright. "Wake a girl up? Sure, no problem!"
Xiang Yu hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
A large group of students from No. 1 Middle School gathered downstairs. They boarded a bus and were first taken to a place for breakfast, and then to their destination for the day.
"Holy crap, what is this?!" Wang Zehao looked up at the seemingly endless long staircase, then turned back to confirm, "Are we supposed to climb up this? What's the point?"
"Exercise, enjoy the mountain scenery, appreciate the culture... Okay, I can't keep this up." The group ahead had already started setting off one after another. Zhang Boyuan walked up to Gu Chen and asked, "Brother Chen, are we hiking? I saw a cable car or something over there."
Gu Chen looked at the map in his hand and nodded. "We'll hike up the mountain and take the cable car down. There's a picnic and camping area halfway up the mountain, where we'll eat and stay tonight... The dean and the tour guide have already taken the cable car up. Let's hurry up."
Wang Zehao muttered with a long face, "I'm not happy. I'm starting to want to go home."
Gu Chen and Xiang Yu walked side by side in front, Zhang Zitong and Zhang Boyuan behind, and the rest of the students walked in the middle. The sunlight shone on the mountainside, and all the students complained about how tiring it was.
"Why would a study tour come to a place like this? I don't understand." Wang Zehao hunched over, using both hands and feet to climb the stairs, his tongue lolling out from exhaustion.
Yang Shuhuan, who was in front of him, turned around and clicked her tongue in disapproval of his posture. "Can't you get up? Look at Brother Chen, he's still leading everyone up here last night..."
"Huh?" Yang Shuhuan omitted the middle part, and Wang Zehao didn't understand what he meant. He repeated, "What happened to Brother Chen last night?"
This sound was heard by Gu Chen, who was in front of him. He turned around and asked, "What happened to me last night?"
Yang Shuhuan said, "...You were drunk last night."
Gu Chenang said, "I'm drunk. I can't drink so much in the future. You should remind me next time, my deskmate."
Xiang Yu hummed in agreement and glanced back at Yang Shuhuan.
There's so much in his eyes.
Yang Shuhuan: "..."
Upon arriving at the campsite, I was quite exhausted and had to support myself while panting. I saw the dean and the other accompanying teachers sitting in the shade, chatting and laughing.
After Gu Chen counted the number of people, the tour guide pointed out the picnic spots for each class. The food distribution was also completed. The food consisted of boxes of vegetables, meat, seasonings, noodles, and rice that had just been transported up by cable car.
