23. I am Not Your Mr. Gu (8)

Translator: Annsmiley

Gu Dongye took out the ingredients from Nan Yu’s fridge, and he made several dishes out of them.

Nan Yu walked to the table and looked at the delicious-looking dishes. Suddenly, he didn’t dare to eat them. After all, the dishes he cooked also looked delicious, but they all tasted awful.

“It’s almost ready. If you’re hungry, you can eat first.”

Nan Yu swallowed his saliva and smiled. “I’m not hungry. Oh yes, Xiao Ye, you’re so good at this.”

He couldn’t possibly tell Gu Dongye that last time when he cooked, the food tasted so bad that he didn’t dare to try anything made by others again.

“Mmm.”

Gu Dongye returned to the kitchen. He still needed to finish cooking the last dish.

Nan Yu couldn’t help but follow in. He watched as Gu Dongye skillfully stir-fried the ingredients in the pan, and soon the dish was done.

“Xiao Ye, you’re awesome! You can make so many dishes,” Nan Yu looked at Gu Dongye with shining eyes.

Nan Yu served the dish as Gu Dongye took off the cute apron.

‘Uh, I’m living in his house but he hasn’t yet told me what his name is.’

At the dinner table, Gu Dongye looked at Nan Yu bitterly and reached out to touch Nan Yu.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ve told you what my name is. Shouldn’t you do the same?”

Gu Dongye nodded seriously.

Nan Yu was amused by how he looked right now. Why did he feel that Gu Dongye was so cute, which was not characteristic of the original Gu Dongye at all?

“You really want to know? How about this, Xiao Ye? If you say yes to a request of mine, then I’ll tell you.”

Nan Yu didn’t tell him straightaway. He wanted to make Gu Dongye fall into his trap.

“What is it?” Gu Dongye took the bait.

“From now on, you will do all the cooking and I’ll wash the dishes. Is that okay?” Nan Yu’s beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Gu Dongye was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this guy only wanted him to cook. That was something he could do. After all, despite his plan to repay him in the future, for now on, he would have to stay in his house for free.

“Okay.”

Gu Dongye agreed very quickly and Nan Yu smiled even more brightly.

“Everyone calls me Mr. Nan.”

Nan Yu wanted to tease Gu Dongye and see how he would react to this.

Gu Dongye frowned unhappily and said, “I’m not everyone. I’m me.”

The smile on Nan Yu’s face crept away but the next second, it came back again.

“So, Xiao Ye, you think you’re special to me?” Raising his eyebrows, Nan Yu looked at Gu Dongye with a faint smile.

Instantly, Gu Dongye’s ears became red, but fortunately his face didn’t turn red.

‘Why did he deliberately distort what he said?’

Nan Yu thought that it was so much fun to have Gu Dongye around, but he was just teasing him. If, as the system suggested, he was to use love to transform Gu Dongye, then how should he do that? Gu Dongye didn’t seem to understand what exactly love was, and what actions he should take to express love.

Nan Yu even didn’t know how to do that. He only knew that it was fun to have this young man around, to tease him, and to see how his eyebrows were drawn together when he frowned.

Gu Dongye was still a child who hadn’t grown up, so he couldn’t answer Nan Yu’s question and he didn’t dare to answer it. If his answer disgusted Nan Yu, then what should he do?

“Alright, Xiao Ye, I was just kidding. I won’t do that again. My name is Nan Yu. Nan means the sea in the South, and “Yu” means the rest of one’s life. But you can call me brother if you want to,” he said that he wouldn’t tease Gu Dongye again, but he still asked Gu Dongye to call him brother.

For such a tall and indifferent young man to call him brother lovingly, what a beautiful picture would that be?

“Nan for the sea in the south, and Yu for the rest of one’s life, Nan Yu?” Gu Dongye put the two characters together.

For some reason, Gu Dongye felt that this name was very sad, waiting for someone by the sea in the south for the rest of one’s life.

“Yes, Nan Yu, you can call me Mr. Nan like everyone else does, or you can call me brother.”

Although Gu Dongye wanted to be closer to Nan Yu, he was afraid that if he called Nan Yu brother, it would be awkward when he confessed his true feelings to Nan Yu in the future. So in comparison, Gu Dongye thought that he’d better just call Nan Yu “Mr. Nan”.

But things could also get quite tricky when it came to inappropriate teacher-student relationship. Did Gu Dongye not think of it?

“Mr. Nan,” Gu Dongye said leisurely.

Nan Yu curled his lip. Come on. He thought Gu Dongye would choose to call him “brother”.

“Mmm, let’s eat.”

Gu Dongye pulled a chair out and sat opposite Nan Yu.

Looking at these dishes, Nan Yu suddenly did not know where he should start.

In the end, Gu Dongye helped put the food onto Nan Yu’s plate. Nan Yu was quite satisfied with the meal.

“Xiao Ye, you’re so good at cooking. Whoever your girlfriend is in the future, she’ll be the lucky one.”

“There won’t be a girlfriend.”

‘Because you are my one and only, and I only want you.’

After lunch, Nan Yu packed up the plates and chopsticks and was ready to wash them, but how could Gu Dongye let him do that? He pushed him out of the kitchen and started washing the kitchenware himself.

Nan Yu had no choice but to give up. While Gu Dongye was washing the dishes, Nan Yu got the teaching materials ready. He would help Gu Dongye make up his missed lessons when he finished the washing. After all, Nan Yu had already told the principal that he would have one more student in his class.

However, Nan Yu couldn’t tell Gu Dongye that. If he did, Gu Dongye would know that Nan Yu had planned it all out.

After washing the dishes, Gu Dongye saw Nan Yu sitting on the sofa reading seriously. As if Nan Yu felt Gu Dongye’s gaze on him, he turned back, smiled and waved his hand towards Gu Dongye.

“Xiao Ye, come over here. I’ll familiarize you with the textbooks today and tomorrow I’ll show you the key points. This way, within one and half a day, you’ll know the general contents of the textbooks for this semester. The day after tomorrow, I’ll take you to school.”

“Mmm,” Gu Dongye walked towards Nan Yu and sat on the sofa next to Nan Yu.

Nan Yu put the book on the tea table, took out a pen and read the textbooks with Gu Dongye.

The sunlight outside the window was shining lightly. The people in the room were focused on the books. At first glance, they looked like an incomparably intimate couple and they looked perfect together, but the people in the room were not aware of that.

It was unknown how much time had passed. While Nan Yu was immersed in passing on the knowledge of the books to Gu Dongye, Gu Dongye raised his head from the books.

In the sunlight, Gu Dongye looked at the handsome face that was only a few centimeters away from him. He saw everything so clearly including the clean and fair cheeks and the tiny pores. Nan Yu’s hot breath every time he exhaled poured onto Gu Dongye’s face. His thick eyelashes and soft eyes made Gu Dongye’s heart skip a beat.

He withdrew his gaze from Nan Yu and continued to listen to Nan Yu’s lectures. Nan Yu, who was too immersed in the books, didn’t know that Gu Dongye had been secretly watching him for such a long time. In fact, Gu Dongye had already been watching him in a straightforward manner for a long while.

“Do you understand what I said?” Nan Yu turned to Gu Dongye. He was afraid that he was too fast and Gu Dongye could not catch up with him. If that was the case, all his lectures would be in vain.

Gu Dongye nodded. “Yeah, I understand most part of what you just said. Before I go to bed tonight, I’ll review it and sort it all out. By then, I should be able to master it.”

However, Gu Dongye had already understood all of it, but how could he say that? Had he said that, Nan Yu would not bother to help him with his studies in the future. It was better to pretend that he was dull, so Nan Yu would continue to help him make up missed lessons!

It was true that people at this age were all scheming. Gu Dongye pretended that he couldn’t quite follow Nan Yu, so that the latter would have to spend more time with him.

“Okay, if you have any questions, just ask me straightaway.”
