Strawberry Pop Pop Pop chapter 88

Without waiting for Han Yang to say anything else, Gu Nuan scratched the tip of his nose and said stuttering, “I…I’ll go bring out the pillows.”

Han Yang quickly followed, “I… I’ll help you.”

“You’re not allowed to mimic me!” Gu Nuan handed the pillow to Han Yang.

“I’m not mimicking,” Han Yang replied honestly, “I just feel very happy.”

These words inexplicably made Gu Nuan blush again, and his cheeks turned red all the way to his neck.

Gu Nuan had to attend school during the day and work late at the company at night. He was determined not to miss any opportunity to spend time with Han Yang. “Brother, you’ve had a long day. Go wash up and rest. I’ll be there in a little while. Don’t worry, I’ve set an alarm for 7:30 AM. I’ll wake you up before everyone else comes to work tomorrow.”

The Gu Group’s working hours started at nine, and Han Yang had shallow and short sleep. Without staying up late, his normal schedule means he won’t sleep past 8 a.m.

Furthermore, Gu Nuan was indeed the heir of the Gu family, and his ability to manage the company was no less than that of his father and grandfather. He bent over to straighten the bedding, patted the sheets a couple of times, and did it all in one go. “Brother, this bed is super comfortable.”

Han Yang watched him from behind and felt an itch in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Nuan was dressed in a dark gray suit with a pure white shirt buttoned all the way up. His tie was neatly fastened around his neck. With this appearance, bending over the bed to arrange the pillows and sheets, he exuded an irresistible charm.

Han Yang couldn’t help but step forward, reaching out from behind, he took Gu Nuan’s hand, pulling him back to face him, their noses touching. Both of them tumbled onto the bed, with Han Yang initiating a deep passionate kiss, and Gu Nuan responding in kind.

Gu Nuan’s tie was disheveled, and the top two buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of his fair skin and Han Yang started planting kisses on his neck.

Gu Nuan, who took the suppressant every day after his internship, could always have his own pheromone balance disrupted by Han Yang. He nuzzled affectionately in Han Yang’s chest, emitting countless ambiguous low moans, arousing a strong desire.

“…?”

“Xiao Nuan, how much work do you have left?”

“Just a little, the rest… can be done tomorrow.” Once he was with Han Yang, Gu Nuan would become without principles.

“Okay,” Han Yang held his composure. He slowly buttoned Gu Nuan’s shirt. “Is one hour enough to do a bit of work?”

“It’s enough.”

After a while, Gu Nuan said, “How about, just half an hour?”

Han Yang leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth, whispering softly, “Hmm, I’ll go take a shower first.”

Incidentally, Han Yang’s hand naturally touched Gu Nuan’s butt, recalling what Gu Nuan had said earlier in his ear – “Brother, I’m wearing the… strawberry thong you bought for me last time.”

He asked Gu Nuan, “is it coincidental that you wore this today?”

“Didn’t you buy me a lot? I wear a different one every day. Today just happened to be this one.”

For a moment, Han Yang was too happy to speak.

Leaving Gu Nuan feeling embarrassed, as he added, “I promised to wear strawberry underwear for a year, so I’ll definitely wear it for a year. Brother, if you have a backup of the video where I got drunk, you need to delete it, okay?”

Upon hearing this, even the backup etched in his mind, Han Yang was prepared to delete it.

If Gu Nuan was this obedient, Han Yang had to be even more so.

However, the combination of suits and strawberry thongs was undoubtedly a mysterious pairing that would get Gu Nuan kicked out of the Gu Group if Gu Yuanchen found out about it.

The long night continued, and the office lights were soon turned off.

…

In the following days, Gu Nuan and Han Yang began a two-month long-distance relationship.

Han Yang went to H country to film, while Gu Nuan stayed in C country preparing for his final exams and working on company projects. They were both incredibly busy.

As a result, Gu Nuan lost some weight, which made Ji Mu feel the need to have a serious conversation with Gu Yuanchen.

“I think it’s better for Xiao Nuan to join the company after he graduates from college,” Ji Mu personally prepared dinner in the kitchen, with chicken soup, braised spare ribs, and stewed beef brisket on the menu. He spoke with a troubled expression, “C University is busier than other universities, and he’s running around all the time. How can he not lose weight?”

The work Gu Yuanchen assigned to Gu Nuan was far less demanding. Gu Nuan was the one determined to work hard on his own, getting up early and working late to earn his own salary.

He handed a plate to Ji Mu in an attempt to please him, saying, “He wants to buy a car for Han Yang, and you know that.”

“Why can’t he use the allowance he’s been saving up for years to buy a car?” Ji Mu asked.

“He wants a car worth more than hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Gu Yuanchen responded.

Ji Mu was taken aback. He had planned to buy both of their children a car not worth more than hundreds of thousands. After all, in Ji Mu’s opinion, at Gu Nuan’s age, there was no need for an extravagant car for daily commuting.

Gu Yuanchen could see through Ji Mu’s thoughts with just one look, and he cleared his throat, saying, “As the child grows up, he cares about appearances. Besides, Xiao Nuan didn’t ask us for money, nor did he directly ask us to buy him a car worth a certain amount. He just wants to earn the money himself to buy a better car for Han Yang, as a congratulatory gift for his first leading role.”

Ji Mu fell silent.

Gu Yuanchen wiped his hands, gave Ji Mu a shoulder rub, and continued, “Han Yang, due to his family background, has never liked celebrating his birthday since he was a child. Xiao Nuan rarely finds an opportunity like this to buy a good car for him, so we shouldn’t interfere.”

“I’m not against him buying a better car for Han Yang…”

“I know, you’re concerned about Xiao Nuan’s hard work,” Gu Yuanchen said, as he had come to understand Ji Mu’s thoughts over the years. “Xiao Nuan’s current efforts will protect him in the future. Moreover, it’s good that he wants to work hard on his own, and we should support him.”

Of course, Gu Yuanchen added, “I’ll adjust his work, and he won’t have to work overtime like this in the future.”

Ji Mu bowed his head, convinced by Gu Yuanchen’s words. He trembled his long eyelashes slightly and said, “I understand.”

Gu Yuanchen smiled and kissed him. “Not upset anymore?”

“I’m not upset.”

“Good,” Gu Yuanchen said, hugging him and kissing him again. “Whether you’re upset or not, I love you all the same.”

Unexpectedly, Gu Nuan, who was hungry and had gone to the kitchen to urge them to eat, witnessed this scene. He exclaimed, “Oh my eyes, I’ve been blinded by their love! I’m blind!”

Gu Nuan felt quite unfortunate. He was not only in a long-distance relationship with Han Yang but also had to play the role of a third wheel at home. Though he had been used to playing that role since childhood, it was still awkward.

He thought, “I’ll endure it for a while. When the Chinese New Year arrives, Han Yang will surely come back to rest for a few days. By then, I’ll have prepared his New Year’s gift.”

Little did he know that Han Yang’s drama had some unexpected changes, and there was a scene that needed to be filmed during the winter in H country. This period coincided with the Chinese New Year in his home country.

Gu Nuan couldn’t bear the loneliness, but he also couldn’t leave his two fathers alone. So, he stayed at home for the Spring Festival, visiting relatives and friends. He furrowed his brows every day, suffering from lovesickness.

Even the New Year’s gift that Ji Mu gave him didn’t lift his spirits. He sat dejectedly on the sofa in his home.

Ji Mu, feeling helpless, told Gu Yuanchen, “Even if I buy a sports car for Xiao Nuan, he’s still not happy since Han Yang isn’t here.”

Gu Yuanchen, equally helpless, gestured toward a cup of milk tea on the coffee table and said, “This morning, Xiao Nuan read some gossip news that said Han Yang went to H country for a film shoot, and not a single fan followed him. That upset him so much that he couldn’t even drink his milk tea.”

“Why is he upset about that?”

“Because other leading actors had many fans following them to H country, but our Han Yang didn’t.”

Hearing this, Ji Mu became upset as well.

Gu Yuanchen regretted mentioning this matter.

Then, Ji Mu sighed, “They are marking their relationship now, and it’s not good for them to be apart for so long…”

Han Yang was very busy, and in case he didn’t have time to pay attention to Gu Nuan, he would be left alone. Someone needed to accompany him.

When the Su family came to visit the Gu family and offer New Year’s greetings, the Chinese New Year was coming to an end. As college students, Su Li and Gu Nuan still had half of their winter break left.

On this day, when Gu Nuan was about to pick up the new car he had bought for Han Yang, Su Li, holding a gift box for the New Year, looked at the two new cars parked in front of the villa and swallowed hard.

He tugged at Su Ling’s sleeve and asked, “Mom, is the sports car on the left the price of our house?”

Su Ling pushed his arm gently and said, “What are you saying? Even if we combine another house as ours the price would still be lower that the sportscar. But don’t be so envious of others, and don’t let Nuan see you like this!”

Su Li quickly wiped his mouth, realizing he had been salivating.

Su Li’s father laughed heartily and said, “Your mom is just teasing you. Do you believe her?”

Su Ling also laughed happily, and then she added in a low voice, “Our house is still under mortgage; don’t think about buying a car. Mom really doesn’t have the money to buy you one.”

“No problem, I have my bicycle.” This was Su Li’s final show of strength.

As soon as he said that, Gu Nuan, who had just come out of the house to greet them, welcomed them with open arms. “Uncle Su, Aunt Su, please come in. My dad just prepared some tea and snacks.” With that, he took Su Li’s hand and led him into his room.

Su Li wanted to savor the snacks that Ji Mu had made in the living room, and he kept saying, “wait….What are you doing?”

Gu Nuan closed the bedroom door and asked,

“Have you finished your homework?”

“Are you crazy? I don’t have any homework,” Su Li said. “Hurry up and tell me what you want.”

Gu Nuan held his hand and said, “Do you want to go to H country for a vacation? I’ll pay for everything, including accommodations and meals!”
