Chapter 9

Gu Huaiyu finally woke up because of the sticky discomfort all over his body.He raised his heavy eyelids and saw the orange-red sun shadow through the white gauze curtain, and he knew that this sleep was a bit too long.

He lay on the quilt piled randomly beside the bed, and didn't move for a long time.His eyes glanced at the drawer, and then turned away indifferently.

The huge room was silent, no one came to disturb.Friedrich was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Huaiyu got up and moved into the bathroom to wash in a state of embarrassment.Last night, Friedrich went crazy and attacked without any scruples. The scabbed wound on his body was split open in two places, and a little blood leaked out.

He spent a long time in the bathroom, wrapped up his bathrobe and walked out, suddenly saw a person sitting on the sofa.

Several documents were scattered on one side, and Friedrich was half leaning on the sofa to control the projection screen in front of him. He caught sight of Gu Huaiyu coming out and put the things away leisurely.

"It's getting late, what do you want to eat?"

No one could find fault with his set of rhetoric, his tone of intimacy derived from a physical relationship, cleverly choking back all questions.

This kind of tactic in the cloak of warmth has fooled many of Friedrich's lovers, and it is very easy to repeat the old trick.Hearing this, Gu Huaiyu stood by the door blankly, as if he hadn't fully woke up from the crazy and chaotic state last night.

He was not used to having such an intimate conversation with Friedrich when he was awake, but he was extremely reluctant to withdraw.

Although the other party's words sounded like they didn't take last night to heart at all.

It was already night, and the intense drowsiness came back shortly after the end. Gu Huaiyu clutched the wound on his left shoulder that had not been properly treated, and whispered, "No need, I'm not hungry."

Friedrich stood up and looked at him, then came over and gently pushed away the hand on his left shoulder, "What are you doing with a cold face? Are you uncomfortable?"

He unobtrusively opened the bathrobe along the neckline, saw Gu Huaiyu's fresh wound, paused, "Is it hurt?"

There was a trace of blood on Gu Huaiyu's palm, which was particularly eye-catching when he put it down.No matter how thick-skinned Friedrich was, he frowned and coughed dryly, "I drank too much last night, so I didn't pay attention to the severity."

"It's okay." Gu Huaiyu said dryly, after a moment of silence, he started to chase people away again, "I'm a little tired."

Hearing what he said, Friedrich narrowed his eyes with a half-smile, and said ambiguously, "You don't even want me to take responsibility after you just fell asleep?"

Gu Huaiyu blushed suddenly and stared at him closely.

Taking advantage of his relaxation, Friedrich easily pulled him into his arms and kissed him, "It's all hurt, I have to take care of it."

The eyes of the person in his arms dimmed visibly, and he had that flat face again, "Oh."

Gu Huaiyu was not in the mood to take Joe, he knew that the other party was not someone who would feel guilty because of a disappointed expression, "Skin trauma, don't bother Fu..."

The words stopped abruptly on his lips, he didn't want to call unfamiliar names, and couldn't say what he wanted to call.He opened his lips and looked away before he finished speaking.

After eating a soft nail, Friedrich didn't have any temper.It's not the first time that he understands that Gu Huaiyu is not easy to coax, maybe he doesn't need to put in a little bit of real tenderness, it's hard to keep this little thing down.

He clasped his thin and tough waist before he was about to break free completely, and said in a serious tone, "Fu what?"

"It was quite easy to call me Aze yesterday."

These words exposed Gu Huaiyu's softest weakness, he choked up, wanted to deny it but couldn't refute it.Friedrich grabbed hold of his life gate and chased after him, "Call again and listen."

Gu Huaiyu raised his head and looked at him for a moment.

There was something in his eyes that he wanted to ask, but Friedrich didn't make any further gestures.

After a stalemate for a while, Gu Huaiyu was defeated as expected, and compromised sullenly, "Ah Ze. I'm tired."

"Then eat in the room." Friedrich said assertively.

After he finished speaking, he asked the servant to bring the food upstairs, and sat with Gu Huaiyu at the tea table beside the terrace to eat.

Gu Huaiyu didn't have much appetite at first, but he just ate a little because he was staring at him.As soon as he put down the tableware, the man came over again with medicine to help him take care of the old injury on his shoulder and back.

They didn't talk much, and there was only the sound of tearing medicine packages around them.

The evening wind carries a wave of humidity and heat through the room, and a few drops of condensed water slowly slide down from the outer wall of the glass filled with iced soda water.

Friedrich thought that among the bed partners he had, Gu Huaiyu probably ranked first in terms of seldom talking.This was the second time he treated Gu Huaiyu's wound, but the other person's expression was the same as last time, indifferent, as if the injury was not on him.Even if he accidentally pressed it, Gu Huaiyu still didn't respond.

He remembered that he had mentioned with Gu Huaipei earlier that Gu Huaiyu was taciturn, and he didn't look like a pair of brothers with Gu Huaipei, who had a flamboyant personality.

At that time, Gu Huaipei seemed to laugh a few times, but he stopped laughing and said gloomily that he also wanted to see Gu Huaiyu's more vivid expression.

However, after getting along with each other recently, Friedrich has discovered that Gu Huaiyu is just a young man who is afraid of saying too much and making mistakes in front of his sweetheart.Silence is silence, but it is very lively, and it does not hesitate to give him many blushes and countless rapid heartbeats.

"Did you just go...?"

It was only after hearing Gu Huaiyu's question that Fu Lize came back to his senses, and noticed that his hand was on the man's chest, pressing on the wound.He withdrew his hand to rearrange Gu Huaiyu's clothes, and replied, "It's about the company."

The atmosphere was relaxed, he casually talked about the progress of several meetings and projects, fragmentary and irrelevant, but Gu Huaiyu listened carefully, and unknowingly talked a few more words about the day's itinerary.

"By the way, Uncle Qin contacted me today." Gu Huaiyu waited for him to finish speaking, and said quietly, "Since he will come to look for me, Qin Kai should know that I am here."

Friedrich frowned, "The news spread quite quickly."

Qin Kai is Gu Huaipei's most effective deputy. After the car accident, most of the affairs of the Gu family are temporarily taken care of by him.As for his treatment of Gu Huaiyu... Friedrich glanced at the people around him.Originally, it could be called polite, but now—who can have a good impression of someone who wants to occupy his master's nest.

But... Friedrich drank a sip of tea in contemplation. If he wanted to take over the Gu family, he couldn't get around these people.

"Go see him at the hospital tomorrow." He paused for a few seconds, "Qin Kai has done his best for Gu Huaipei, I heard that he has been transferred to the secret doctor today."

Gu Huaiyu was looking sideways at the street lamps that had just been lit outside the terrace, his long eyelashes blinked, "Is it the hospital in the central area?"

As he said, he turned his head to look at Friedrich, and followed his unspoken meaning, "Shall I go tomorrow too?"

Friedrich smiled, obviously satisfied with his knowledge.The teacup was put back on the table. Friedrich leaned over and kissed a bit of raspberry sauce on his reddish lips, and pressed his forehead against his forehead, and said, "I'll go and have a look first, and someone will come back to pick you up in the afternoon."

In the evening of the next day, Friedrich returned to the villa with an unhappy expression, just in time for Lu Chong and a few cronies to visit.Seeing his unlucky look, Lu Chong said in shock, "Who will find it hard for you?"

"Gu Huaipei's people."

"Qin Kai?"

"Hey, he has a very single mind... Just like his father, he knows to follow the Gu family around."

Fu Lize didn't continue to talk, and went to the side to contact the two people beside Gu Huaiyu.The other side said that Gu Huaiyu had met with several people from the military department in the afternoon according to the arrangement, and now he is in the nursing ward of the hospital.

Lu Chong left a few friends behind and came after him. Hearing his orders, he couldn't help but said, "It's rare to see you so caring. Are you really going to chase after me?"

Friedrich didn't bother to discuss his private life seriously with him, so he said perfunctorily, "Yes."

"That's not easy." Lu Chong turned his head and glanced at the group of people standing in the hall, and said with a smile, "Su An also came with us today, so we must depend on you for that posture."

Friedrich glanced at him, "Did you bring it here?"

"What am I doing with this job? It's probably because of Lao Wu's leadership that he was too entangled."

Friedrich hummed, turned around and took two glasses of wine and handed them to his friend, "How is your talk with Old Wu about the development project in the Eastern District?"

"It's settled." Lu Chong touched him, "By the way, do me a favor, let him put two on the table later."

It was an ordinary game that night, Fu Lize tacitly cooperated with Lu Chong and lost a few rounds, and was laughed at by Su An who was sitting beside him, "Brother Fu has not been very lucky recently."

Half of his body was attached to Fritz's body. Seeing that no one refused, he looked at the cards more happily and said, "Get this one."

In the end, Fu Lize won the game. The young man put his shoulders on his shoulders, smiled and said coquettishly, "Brother Fu, does this win count as mine?"

Friedrich smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and lifted his chin slightly.Su An took down the cigarette he was holding knowingly, dusted off the ash for him, and took another puff in front of him before handing it back.

The others at the poker table were not surprised. Old Wu joked casually, "Why is Mr. Fu's luck so good as soon as Xiao Su sits over?"

Friedrich tilted his head to hold the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, and restarted the game, obviously not intending to open his mouth to participate in the topic.

"Yeah, brother Fu lost so much last night because he didn't let me fight together." Su An breathed in the man's ear, half-truthfully.

Under the card table, one of his hands secretly teased Fu Lize's waist. Only then did Fu Lize glance at him, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.Su An smiled flatteringly at him, and flirted with the man as usual, "Do you drink?"

Seeing that Friedrich didn't object, he got up to pour him wine, but just as he turned around, he was surprised to see a person standing at the door of the room.

"Mr. Gu." Su An reluctantly greeted.

Friedrich paused for a moment when he touched the cards, and turned his head to look.

I don't know when Gu Huaiyu stood there, he stood by the door, as if he had been here for a long time, but also just arrived.It's no wonder that Su An was taken aback, his face was cold and alienated, gloomy and terrifying.

Fu Lize and Ren looked at each other for a few seconds, and said, "You're back? Come and play a few games."

Gu Huaiyu put his hands in his trouser pockets, pursed his lips and did not answer.Seeing him like this, Friedze ordered the people beside him to say, "Pour another glass."

He thought for a while, and added, "Stop pouring wine, and change to tea."

Lu Chong showed an expression of knowing that he was watching the play, and he was not in a hurry to rush the cards, and took a sip of the wine in his hand.

Gu Huaiyu walked over slowly, did not sit beside him, but leaned on the armrest of the sofa and said, "I'm not lucky."

Friedrich narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned over to hold the man's wrist, and stuffed the cards into his hand, "I'll be the one who loses."

The expressions of the people at the table changed, probably because they had never seen Friedrich speak so nicely.But Fu Lize was not only easy to talk this time, Gu Huaiyu, who was not good at poker, tripled his bet without stopping him.

In the end, Lu Chong couldn't stand Fu Lize's way of throwing a lot of money, so he kindly smoothed things over, saying that it was too late, and he broke up after two rounds.

"What about Su An?" After everyone had gone out, Lu Chong asked quietly at the end.

Friedrich took down the almost finished cigarette and extinguished it, and said flatly, "Whoever brought it is of course the one who brought it back."

Gu Huaiyu didn't need to see off the guests, he went upstairs to his room after getting off the poker table.After taking a shower, he loosely fastened his bathrobe and was pushed against the wall when he came out.

"Deliberately trying to save face on me?" Friedrich asked with a raised eyebrow, pinching his arm with one hand.

Gu Huaiyu lowered his head and saw a few drops of water from the ends of his hair falling on Friedrich's shirt, "I said I was unlucky."

Friedrich sneered, noncommittal to his poor excuse.He squeezed the chin of the person in his arms and kissed it, but Gu Huaiyu shrank back and avoided the general.

"What are you hiding from?" He hid like this, which aroused Fu Lize's stomach fire.The man who has never suffered a disadvantage lowered his head more sexually, chasing her lips for a kiss.

Gu Huaiyu seldom acted so unmoved towards him, pushed him, and said, "If you smoke, your mouth will feel bitter."

Fu Lize smiled inaudibly, pressed him firmly and kissed him, and took the time to say in a hoarse voice, "Is it bitter?"

The suppressed person panted lightly, pursed his lips, and stopped answering.

The author has something to say: Zha Zha Ze: Tsk, my wife is picking on Joe with me.
