Chapter 8

Gu Bai wasn't an idiot, nor was he someone with low EQ.

Looking at Nie Qingcang's behavior, he realized that he might have turned him gay. He was horrified. This wasn't a good thing.

He wanted to ride Nie Qingcang's coattails, but he didn't want to climb onto Nie Qingcang's bed. He was here to complete a mission, not to be pressed down on.

He had to correct this mistake before Nie Qingcang realized it himself!

After making up his mind, Gu Bai began to gradually distance himself from Nie Qingcang. He was still riding on his coattails, but he had to pay attention to the distance.

However, Nie Qingcang seemed to be getting more and more fond of him.

For example, Nie Qingcang, who was usually serious, was smiling more and more recently. He spoke more and more gently to him. No matter how busy he was at work, he would send him to and from school in the rain and wind.

When they were eating, he seemed to like glancing at his face. He would often kiss his forehead. One day, he even proposed to share a bed with him and talk through the night to improve their brotherhood!

Gu Bai felt a chill run down his spine. His chastity was in danger.

He didn't believe that he could use Lu Rongqing's weak body to suppress the tough guy with the eight-pack abs hidden under his suit.

In order to protect his chrysanthemum, Gu Bai could only reject Nie Qingcang's dark face and terrifying gaze. At the same time, he sped up the pace of completing the mission …

Lu Rongqing was seventeen years old this year. He was studying at a famous private high school in B City.

All the children in this school came from rich families. Even though grades were very important, they didn't need to work hard to take the college entrance exam like ordinary high school students.

They came here to study in addition to making friends and making connections in preparation for taking over the family business in the future. Therefore, the classes here weren't urgent. It was very relaxing and fun.

Today, during the art class, Nan Li Chen took everyone to a special art studio. Half of the class was teaching, and the other half was free to paint.

Drawing was not Gu Bai's forte.

Before he transmigrated, he grew up in an orphanage and did not go to school at all. All his knowledge was self-taught in the library of the orphanage that was used as a decoration, and after he left the orphanage, he learned it all by himself.

He had never learned something like painting that could cultivate one's temperament, nor would he take the initiative to learn it, because even eating and living was a problem for him. How could he have the leisure to learn such things?

The original owner wasn't a very sentimental person, but today, Nan Li Chen was teaching her something as difficult and profound as ink painting.

Therefore, even though Gu Bai tried his best to draw the two mandarin ducks on the blackboard in order to pretend to be a well-behaved teenager, in the end, he only managed to draw two … ducks with simple lines.

Should be a duck?

Gu Bai thought uncertainly as he stared at his work.

"Looks like you're more suited to learn oil painting …"

A gentle male voice suddenly sounded in his ear. Nan Li Chen had walked up to him without him noticing. He lowered his head and whispered into his ear, "You must be a genius of the abstract school."

"…"

Gu Bai paused for a moment. He walked forward a little to put some distance between them, then lowered his head and reached out to cover his work. The tips of his ears turned pink, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing his shy reaction, Nan Li Chen was very satisfied. He smiled gently, then reached out to rub Gu Bai's soft hair, and said.

"I'm just kidding. You've already done very well for your first painting. Painting not only requires talent, but also long-term practice. You'll get better slowly in the future. Come, I'll teach you …"

With that, Nan Li Chen held Gu Bai's hand from behind and helped him add strokes on the paper. The intimate but not overly intimate atmosphere surrounded Gu Bai, full of ambiguity.

Gu Bai didn't speak or raise his head. The tips of his ears turned deeper pink, but his lowered head slightly flashed with an interesting expression.

During this period of time, Nan Li Chen had slowly begun to approach him. This kind of vague ambiguity was a means of teasing. It was very effective on simple people who hadn't experienced much love.

In the original plot, Lu Rongqing was tricked in this way. Unfortunately, he wasn't simple Lu Rongqing.

So after he finished painting, Gu Bai smiled and looked at Nan Li Chen nervously and expectantly. He asked, "Teacher, can I bring this painting home?"

"Why do you want to bring it home?

This is your homework … "Nan Li Chen looked at Gu Bai and smiled gently.

Gu Bai lowered his head and blushed slightly. Just when Nan Li Chen thought he was too shy to speak, he raised his head again and looked at him with an innocent smile.

"I can stay after school to finish my homework. I, I really like this painting. I want to bring it home, is that okay …"

"Alright then. You don't have to draw it again. I'll let you in …" Nan Li Chen nodded.

Gu Bai was surprised at first, then smiled happily. His clear eyes narrowed into a line.

"Thank, thank you, teacher …"

Nan Li Chen looked at his happy smile and suddenly leaned forward. His breath instantly enveloped Gu Bai. It was a faint and very special breath.

"What a child. You got ink on your face …"

He reached out and touched Gu Bai's face. His slender eyes came closer and stared intently into Gu Bai's eyes. His soft fingertips wiped Gu Bai's cheeks.

The touch of his skin made Gu Bai pause for a moment. Then his face turned even redder. He seemed to be embarrassed and wanted to wipe it himself, but his fingers grabbed Nan Li Chen's hand in a panic.

"I, I'm sorry …"

Gu Bai opened his eyes and looked at Nan Li Chen. His eyes reflected his appearance. His extremely pure gaze made Nan Li Chen freeze for a moment.

Perhaps it was only for a second or two. Neither of them moved.

By the time Nan Li Chen reacted, Gu Bai had already put his hand down. He lowered his head and exposed his slender neck. His snow-white skin seemed to have a hint of redness.

"Rongqing, has anyone ever told you that you're beautiful?" Nan Li Chen suddenly asked softly.

Gu Bai blushed. "Can you describe a boy as beautiful?"

"Of course. Rongqing is very beautiful and likable …"

Gu Bai didn't answer. He just smiled shyly.

Nan Li Chen looked at his smile and suddenly reached out to wipe his face. "The ink isn't clean yet. You look like a dirty cat …"

"Oh, really?

I'll go wash it … "

Gu Bai seemed to be very embarrassed. He hurriedly wiped his face with his hands and turned to wash his face in the bathroom.

Nan Li Chen snorted when she saw his anxious and flustered appearance.

"You're so gullible. I wiped it clean. I was just teasing you."

Gu Bai looked at Nan Li Chen in a daze. He smiled very happily. His gentle voice was intoxicating.

A thoughtful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He suddenly reached out to touch Nan Li Chen's face. He looked at Nan Li Chen with his gentle and pure eyes.

"Teacher, there's ink on your face too …"

"Hmm?" Nan Li Chen was tickled by the smooth little hand on his face. He habitually reached out to wipe it away.

"Teacher, you're very gullible even without ink. Hahaha …"

The shy boy smiled very brightly. He was as mischievous as a kitten that had gotten its way. His clear eyes were rippling and the color of his pupils seemed to change. There was a special light in them.

Nan Li Chen chuckled softly. This prey seemed to be more interesting and attractive than he had imagined.

Gu Bai looked at his smile and felt indifferent …

After that day, Nan Li Chen's attitude towards him became more ambiguous. Every time they were alone, he would look at him with an extremely gentle gaze. It was as if there was an indescribable hidden affection in his eyes.

He would often find excuses to make him stay after school to create opportunities for them to be alone together. Fortunately, Nie Qingcang was on a business trip and was not home.

Gu Bai didn't have to worry about how to explain to Nie Qingcang that he was in a rebellious relationship with another man. He acted with Nan Li Chen and accompanied him in their ambiguous relationship.

Every time Nan Li Chen seemed to have a chance to confess to him, he would use all kinds of "careless" ways to interrupt him. Nan Li Chen couldn't understand his ambiguous attitude.

He was just a young and innocent boy, but he found him more and more interesting. It was as if he was looking for treasures. Gu Bai would always inadvertently surprise him. He was like an endless treasure mountain, making people more and more interested.

Especially when he saw Gu Bai's smile. That kind of clear feeling seemed to be able to cleanse one's soul. It made people feel extremely comfortable and nostalgic.

Nan Li Chen didn't know if it was because of the mission or something else, but he found that he liked to study this boy more and more. The more he studied him, the more surprises he found.

This seemingly naive and innocent young man had a special attraction.

Nan Li Chen knew that no prey had ever attracted his attention like this boy …

Gu Bai also began to secretly investigate Nan Li Chen's information.

Although he knew the plot, it didn't mean that he knew everything. This wasn't his intention. In fact, it didn't matter whether he knew about Nan Li Chen or not. It wouldn't affect his mission.

However, this was one of Lu Rongqing's wishes.

Lu Rongqing's feelings for Nan Li Chen were very complicated. It was completely different from his first love worship for Fu Zixuan. He hated Nan Li Chen, but he also loved Nan Li Chen deeply.

He didn't understand why Nan Li Chen would listen to Wu Zhenzhen and harm him. If he wanted money, he could give Nan Li Chen. Moreover, with Nan Li Chen's outstanding appearance and shrewdness, a person like him couldn't be mediocre.

If it wasn't for money, he wanted to know why Nan Li Chen would be so cruel to deceive him and push him to hell without hesitation …
