Chapter 70 Unspoken Words 03

  Gu Yin replied calmly, but Qin Fei felt embarrassed. It was awkward to be caught in the act of confessing to someone, and that person happened to be a man. Although Shen Wei had always said that Gu Yin liked people of the same sex, Qin Fei didn't entirely believe that. Compared to the conclusion that Gu Yin liked people of the same sex, Qin Fei actually believed more in what Gu Kai had once mentioned about Gu Yin's obsession with his past life lover.

  Despite this, Qin Fei still felt that the awkwardness was going to linger for a while after being caught in this situation. On the way back, Qin Fei didn't take the initiative to talk to Gu Yin about anything, and even avoided looking at him. So Qin Fei didn't notice that although Gu Yin wasn't speaking, his gaze would occasionally fall on Qin Fei, with emotions stirring deep within his dark, profound eyes.

  The two walked in silence all the way home. When they entered the house, Qin Fei was about to return to his room when Gu Yin suddenly grabbed his arm.

  Qin Fei's footsteps paused, and he turned his head in puzzlement towards Gu Yin.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Fei asked.

  "Just now in the book bar, Xie Zhe's question you didn't answer......" Gu Yin looked at Qin Fei with an unusually focused gaze, and said in a low voice, "I want to know what your answer is."

  Being stared at by Gu Yin like that, Qin Fei felt his heart involuntarily beating a few times faster, and his mind was somewhat dizzy and couldn't turn around, so he could only subconsciously open his mouth to ask, "What?"

  Gu Yin's mouth corners moved slightly as he took a step forward, closing in on Qin Fei. "If... I confessed to you, would you reject me?"

  At the moment when Gu Yin's voice fell, Qin Fei only felt a buzzing in his head, and it completely turned into a blank. The hypothesis he heard from Xie Zhe was naturally different from the effect of being said by himself, and Qin Fei was shocked.

  However, as Qin Fei struggled to crawl out of the blankness of his stagnant thoughts, due to the close distance between him and Gu Yin, he could feel the body heat emanating from Gu Yin's body, and his nostrils were filled with a familiar scent that belonged to Gu Yin. At the same time, Qin Fei felt his heart racing and his breath shortening, and he also felt his ear tips burning slightly, thinking that his ears had probably turned red.

  The fact was just as he thought, his ears were flushed with obvious redness due to congestion. Gu Yin, who had been tightly strung up and paying attention to Qin Fei's emotions, also discovered his reddened ears and unconsciously shifted his gaze to his ears.

  Qin Fei took a step back, his back against the wall, unable to retreat any further. He maintained a calm expression, looked up at Gu Yin and smiled: "This joke isn't funny at all."

  "I'm not joking." Gu Yin took a step forward, trapping Qin Fei between himself and the wall, saying seriously, "I like you, willing to be with you in a lifelong partnership."

  Qin Fei stared blankly at Gu Yin, and Gu Yin's words gave him a kind of soul-stirring palpitation. He opened his mouth, but the words of refusal couldn't be spoken out.

  "Are you willing?"

  In Gu Yin's eyes, there was a deep and focused emotion. This emotion wasn't the first time Qin Fei had seen it in Gu Yin's eyes. Every time he saw this look, he couldn't help but stare at him absent-mindedly. However, this time, as he stared absent-mindedly as usual, his thoughts turned to what he had thought of when he bumped into Gu Yin at the book bar entrance - compared to the conclusion that Gu Yin liked the same sex, he believed more in what Gu Ke had mentioned before about Gu Yin's persistence towards that past life lover.

  "Isn't the person you like Yuan Qing?" Coincidentally, these words came out of Qin Fei's mouth, "You've been searching for his reincarnation, I know, Kai told me."

  Gu Yin fell silent for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh and said, "You are the reincarnation of Yuan Qing."

  Qin Fei: "......"

  As soon as Gu Yin said that, Qin Fei felt that the symptoms of being confessed to by Gu Yin, such as dizziness and confusion, suddenly disappeared. His face was no longer red, his heart stopped racing, and his logic cleared up.

  Qin Fei straightened up and pushed away Gu Yin, smiling at him and saying: "It's getting late, go wash up and get some sleep."

  Gu Yin was taken aback, and Qin Fei's reaction caught him off guard.

  Qin Fei...

  Qin Fei turned back to look at him, "Heraclitus said that a man cannot step into the same river twice. Even if I am the reincarnation of Yuan Qing, I will never become another Yuan Qing."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Fei walked into his own room without looking back and casually closed the door.

  Gu Yin: "......"

  Gu Yin looked at Qin Fei's tightly closed door, feeling defeated as he pressed his brow. He had said the words in the wrong order earlier and shouldn't have told Qin Fei that he was Yuan Qing's reincarnation first, leaving him no chance to explain before being pushed away.

  However, Qin Fei's reaction was much better than he had imagined, not refusing, but rather looking like a misunderstanding that he had taken him as Yuan Qing's substitute.

  Thinking of this, Gu Yin slightly curled up her lip. It seems that Ye Cheng's suggestion was correct, some words should indeed be said earlier.

  Qin Fei sat on the edge of his bed after closing the door, and began to stare blankly, only starting to reflect on his loss of composure after a while.

  When faced with Xie Zhe's confession, he couldn't bear to refuse him but still firmly rejected him. However, when facing Gu Yin, not only could he not say no, but he also felt extremely annoyed that Gu Yin had confessed because he was his past life lover reincarnated. This emotion was unfamiliar and unexpected for Qin Fei, but despite the unexpectedness, it couldn't be denied that the reason was because he had some good feelings towards Gu Yin, not the kind between friends, but the kind that had crossed the line of friendship and belonged to the category of romantic love.

  Qin Fei's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he came to this conclusion. He was very clear that for so many years, he had been heterosexual, and his imagination of future romantic partners had always been women. He had never thought that his future partner would be the same sex as him, nor did he have any inclination towards it.

  However, he indeed had a good feeling towards the same sex that was more than friendship, and even subconsciously regarded the other party as an object of affection - this is an undeniable fact.

  "Why is it like this?" Qin Fei lay on the bed in a dejected manner, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling with wide eyes.

  Perhaps... it's because from the moment Gu Yin appeared, he had subconsciously placed him in a special position.

  From the moment he first met Gu Yin in his book, he couldn't help but stare at him absent-mindedly; He tolerated Gu Yin's bad temper and said he owed him a favor, and also agreed to it without hesitation; He would become infatuated with Gu Yin's unintentionally revealed tenderness beyond control; In fact, he didn't like living with unfamiliar people, but let Gu Yin move in...

  Now that I think about it, he seems to have treated Gu Yin exceptionally specially...

  But why is that?

  Is it because of his face? Is he actually a hopeless, deeply rooted color control patient? Otherwise, there's no way to explain how he was changed from heterosexual to homosexual with just one look at his face!

  Qin Fei's mind flashed back to Gu Yin's face, but that face was frozen in the trip to Guan Yun Mountain after he opened his eyes in Gu Yin's room and saw that focused yet gentle expression, with deep eyes shining with a faint warm light...

  If he really had to pinpoint the moment when Gu Yin thoroughly changed his position in his subconscious, Qin Fei thought, then it was probably... or perhaps only that day.

  That night, Qin Fei didn't sleep well. In his dreams, he was still repeatedly analyzing his feelings for Gu Yin, and when he woke up with a groggy head the next day, all he could think about was that he had become gay.

  Qin Fei changed into his pajamas and gloomily went to the bathroom to wash up. Passing by the kitchen, he found Gu Yin doing breakfast as usual. Qin Fei was slightly stunned when he saw him, but received a very natural "good morning" from the other man, who didn't seem like someone who had confessed to him last night at all.

  "Good morning... good morning..." Qin Fei stuttered a reply, walking into the bathroom and staring at his reflection in the mirror, where he saw that the tips of his ears were still red. He began to suspect that there was something wrong with his memory - hadn't he confessed to Gu Yin last night?

  After finishing breakfast, Gu Yin followed Qin Fei to the book bar as usual.

  As they were hurrying to the bookstore, they ran into Song Meng, who had just bought breakfast and was on his way back to the office.

  "When did you get back?" Qin Fei greeted Song Meng and asked.

  "Last night," said Song Meng.

  "Did your brother send you back?"

  Song Meng stretched out a fat finger, shook it, and said with satisfaction: "I have rich experience in escaping, my brother's brain that only knows how to do business is not my opponent at all."

  Qin Fei: "......"

  Song Meng and Qin Fei showed off their escape skills, then looked at Gu Yin, "Gu Da Shen, you are simply amazing! Ye Cheng that kid is really completely fine now. I went to the filming location before coming here, and those strange accidents haven't happened again. You truly deserve to be called Gu Da Shen!"

  "Even if you say that, Song Meng, you still have to give me the commission for Ye Cheng's account."

  Song Meng's face turned pale and he said with a crying expression: "Great God, aren't you not short of money?"

  Gu Yin: "I don't lack it, but I don't want to give you a single extra bit."

  Song Meng looked at Qin Fei: "Qin Xiaofei——"

  "That's not my money."

  Song Meng curled her lip and quickly glanced at Gu Yin, saying in a low voice: "Who said that wasn't..."

  However, Song Meng's words had not finished yet when a strange voice suddenly interrupted him.

  "I see that this gentleman's face is ruddy and unwrinkled, with a refined and spiritual appearance. His eyes are bright and moist, with a hint of redness at the corners, suggesting that his romantic fortunes have been quite prosperous lately. As the saying goes, 'the flowers are about to confuse people's eyes.' Do you need me to help you calculate your fate and see what your destined marriage is like?"

  Several people heard the sound and looked over, only to see three steps away, a young man wearing a Taoist robe, with a mixed sky hat on his head, carrying a gray cloth bag and a peach wood sword on his back, with a dark complexion, using eyes with a few points of depth to gaze at Qin Fei.
