Both of them washed up and put on long cotton pajamas.
Ruan Cunyun sat cross-legged on a chair and pretended to read English. He read for half an hour but didn't understand a single word.
Qin Fanglu stood by the glass, looking at the forest in the distance, and raised his head to look at the vast starry sky, his eyes long and tense.
The big bed seemed to have magical powers. Both of them stayed away from it. No one dared to sit on it, or even look at it.
When it was time to rest at night, Qin Fanglu walked to the edge of the bed, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Are you going to sleep?"
Ruan Cunyun was still on the first page of English. He raised his head like a spring and said in a stiff voice, "Well, go to sleep."
Well, sleep.
It's easy to say, but how do you sleep
The two stood by the bed, neither of them sat down first.
The air was a little stagnant. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, smiled at the same time, and then sat down on the edge of the bed together.
The sound is a bit dry.
It's just sleeping together for one night, what's the big deal!
The two of them laid flat on the bed, all other emotions gone.
Qin Fanglu said in a light voice with a hint of smile: "Don't you have tasks to complete every day? Are you going to wait until I fall asleep today?"
Qin Fanglu said this, sitting up slightly and turning off the orange night light.
The two of them lay sideways facing each other, laughing and chatting, their eyes fixed on each other, completely oblivious to the stunning view of the starry sky.
Under Qin Fanglu's oppressive gaze, Ruan Cunyun slowly leaned over and saw the adjacent glass house not far away, which was lit with warm yellow light, and suddenly stopped.
Ruan Cunyun glanced at Qin Fanglu, his eyes fell on his ears, and felt that this was still a safe place.
The two of them slept in the same quilt, with a long distance between them. Air was leaking in between the quilt that was stretched flat by the two of them, and it was a little cold.
"Then let's do it now." Qin Fanglu said, "Yesterday I completed ten days' quota in one go, and it seems that you are still halfway to completing it."
Qin Fanglu did not rush him, but waited patiently until Ruan Cunyun finally pulled himself out of the quilt like pulling a carrot, and then propped himself up to sit up.
"I sleep restlessly and like to toss and turn. There was a fat kid lying next to me. When I turned over, I kicked him. He kicked me back, and then we started fighting. Later, the teacher gave each of us a single bed to solve the problem."
Ruan Cunyun laughed without hesitation: "I think you were quite a husky when you were a kid!"
Ruan Cunyun also turned over and looked at Qin Fanglu: "When was the last time someone lay next to you?"
He immediately raised his hands in surrender, and Ruan Cunyun shook Qin Fanglu's shoulders helplessly: "Okay."
Qin Fanglu immediately stood up and sat back on the pillow. There was clearly no trace of lament on his face, only a smile of success.
"Um."
Ruan Cunyun slowly poked his head out from under the quilt, pinching the corner of the quilt with slow movements.
Ruan Cunyun looked at Qin Fanglu's clear eyelashes, suddenly became alert, and stepped back a little.
Qin Fanglu asked: "Do you think we can still see the aurora today?"
At some point, the two of them had gotten very close, their breaths gently intertwining, and they could smell the fragrance of each other's hair.
"It's normal not to see it. If you can really see it, you are very lucky."
"No." Qin Fanglu said hoarsely, "We turned off the lights, so no one outside can see us."
“Ah…” All the hair on Ruan Cunyun’s body stood up.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s the boss checking the work progress.
Ruan Cunyun had never heard Qin Fanglu speak in this tone before. There was a hint of sigh, and if you listened carefully, it actually sounded a bit coquettish.
Ruan Cunyun stared blankly at the sky full of stars above his head and sighed: "How beautiful."
After quietly looking at the night sky for a while, Ruan Cunyun suddenly laughed: "Qin Fanglu, why are you breathing so fast?"
"During nap time in kindergarten, on that big bunk bed." Qin Fanglu laughed.
Shit, that's what you said.
"It's okay. I'm still calm when I'm conscious." Qin Fanglu tried to save his image.
"Where is the target for kissing today?"
Ruan Cunyun curled up in the quilt and lay on his side carefully. He glanced at Qin Fanglu looking at him and quickly looked away, his heart pounding.
The room fell into darkness and the starlight became brighter.
Ruan Cunyun asked softly, "Can we not complete it..."
Ruan Cunyun completely agreed with this: "Indeed."
Qin Fanglu didn't plan to let him go for the time being, and continued to ask: "You won't get up in the middle of the night again today, will you?" Ruan Cunyun buried his whole face in the quilt and said sullenly: "No."
Qin Fanglu was quiet for a while, then he turned over with his back to Ruan Cunyun, causing the bed to creak.
"Let's not do that..." Ruan Cunyun moved his Adam's apple nervously, "This place is transparent, we will be seen."
He left a desolate back and said pitifully: "Okay."
"It's time to go to bed." Ruan Cunyun said.
Qin Fanglu was called, and he stopped staring at the sky. He turned around and looked at Ruan Cunyun and said, "It's been a long time since I had another person lying next to me. I'm a little uncomfortable."
Although we know rationally that we can’t see, the fully transparent bedroom still gives people a strong sense of exposure.
Ruan Cunyun was trembling with fear and did not dare to act rashly.
Qin Fanglu continued to persuade him: "It's just a kiss. Are you afraid of being seen?"
Ruan Cunyun half-knelt up: "I'm not afraid!"
Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Ruan Cunyun was stubborn for a second, but now he is in a difficult situation.
However, the bedroom glass was transparent, and the stars in the sky were watching them, making Ruan Cunyun feel as if he was exposed to the gods.
If I could really put those random images that come to my mind into practice...
Not to mention the young master showing off his body, he couldn't bear it even if Ruan Cunyun just kissed him.
Ruan Cunyun crawled half a step on his knees on the bed, slowly put his hand on Qin Fanglu's shoulder, closed his eyes slightly, and his lips quickly touched Qin Fanglu's ear.
At this moment, a shadow flashed in the jungle. Ruan Cunyun's whole body froze, and the hand holding Qin Fanglu's shoulder suddenly tightened.
Someone saw it!
A low laugh hit his eardrums, and Qin Fanglu said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? It's a reindeer."
Ruan Cunyun curled up her legs and was gently pressed into the quilt by Qin Fanglu.
There was obviously no touching, but Ruan Cunyun felt numb all over, and the darkness made what happened next unpredictable.
However, Qin Fanglu did nothing. He tucked the quilt for Ruan Cunyun and lay down beside him properly.
"Can we continue tomorrow?" Qin Fanglu asked.
Ruan Cunyun bit his lip: "...Yes."
After all, you have made a vow, right? You have to complete it from beginning to end to avoid being punished by the gods.
Qin Fanglu said with a smile: "Good night."
Ruan Cunyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Good night."
After they said good night, the bedroom fell into silence, leaving only the sound of two rising and falling breathing.
The other person's breathing was so clear that Ruan Cunyun closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep.
In order to avoid running into Qin Fanglu, Ruan Cunyun didn't even dare to turn over and just lay there.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Cunyun felt the person next to him turn over and cough softly.
The body tensed, then slowly relaxed.
Ruan Cunyun thought that Qin Fanglu should be asleep.
He bravely turned over and stretched his stiff hands and feet.
As soon as he turned around, Ruan Cunyun met Qin Fanglu's gaze.
"I thought you were asleep." Qin Fanglu said.
Ruan Cunyun said dryly: "I can't sleep."
Qin Fanglu laughed and said frankly: "I can't sleep either."
It's too difficult. I haven't slept in the same bed with anyone since kindergarten. Suddenly, I'm lying with the person I like. My mind is affected by his/her every breath. I'm excited and restrained. How can it be easy to fall asleep
Ruan Cunyun smiled and put his hands over his eyes: "I'm not sleepy at all!"
Qin Fanglu came up with a bad idea: "Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well get up."
Unexpectedly, Ruan Cunyun thought this was a good idea and suggested: "Aren't we going to Santa Claus Village tomorrow? It just so happens that the ranch owner gave us two sets of Santa Claus clothes today. How about we try them now and wear them tomorrow?"
"How did you think of this?" Qin Fanglu smiled in confusion. Ruan Cunyun seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time.
Ruan Cunyun jumped out of bed, opened the suitcase, and muttered: "I can't sleep in bed, I'm just thinking about random things."
Two sets of Christmas costumes were packed in a plastic bag, and the rancher covered it with a cloth bag.
It looks like it’s made of suede, with classic Christmas red and white colors.
Qin Fanglu wanted to laugh: "Are we going to dress up as Santa Claus tomorrow?"
"No?" Ruan Cunyun was quite looking forward to it.
Qin Fanglu took out one of the suits: "Of course."
Qin Fanglu spread out his clothes. It was a very normal Santa Claus costume, with a Santa hat, a black belt, and even a fake white beard.
"Hahaha, why do you still have a beard?" Ruan Cunyun took off the suit on his hand and urged Qin Fanglu, "Hurry up and try it on."
Ruan Cunyun stared at Qin Fanglu, his hand trembled, and a small thing fell to the ground.
When he looked down, Ruan Cunyun was stunned.
It was a white plush collar with a red bow on it.
Looking more closely, Ruan Cunyun was holding a Christmas skirt for girls in his hand.
It has a tube top design with a decorative plush ball on the chest, a cinched waist, a puffy skirt, and comes with a pair of white plush bracelets.
Wow… Groove…
Ruan Cunyun was stunned for two seconds, then immediately looked up to see Qin Fanglu's expression.
Qin Fanglu was staring at the Christmas dress in Ruan Cunyun's hand, with a look of shock and hesitation on her face.
Ruan Cunyun felt a chill in his heart, and quickly thought about what a normal person would do if faced with such a thing.
She let go of it as if it was hot, and the skirt fell onto the sofa.
Ruan Cunyun coughed dryly and said, "Why did he give me a skirt? Can't this rancher check the gender before taking it? Are people who raise huskies so stupid?" "He might have taken the wrong one. How can a boy wear a skirt?" Qin Fanglu pretended to be indifferent, "Forget it, it seems we can't wear Christmas costumes tomorrow."
Ruan Cunyun's heart was pounding. He calmly picked up the plush collar that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it back into the bag along with his clothes without any delay.
But what he was thinking was: Oh my god, this set is so beautiful, I want to try it.
Qin Fanglu silently watched Ruan Cunyun pack up her skirt expressionlessly, and then neatly stuffed the entire set of clothes back into the plastic bag, as if to seal it forever.
Qin Fanglu reflected deeply on himself: You actually want to see Ruan Cunyun wearing a skirt! He obviously doesn't like it... But he still wants to see it, it should be suitable for him.
The poor plush skirt was only displayed in the light for half a minute under the complicated gazes of the two men before being thrown back into the corner of the sofa.
Now that the clothes-trying session was over and it was already late at night, the two had no choice but to sleep.
Fortunately, after tossing and turning for a long time, Ruan Cunyun was a little tired, and he felt sleepy as soon as he lay down on the bed.
Qin Fanglu said: "Stop thinking about it and go to sleep."
Ruan Cunyun replied in a daze, "Yeah," and asked a key question in his daze: "When you were in kindergarten, you would roll over and kick people in your sleep... You won't kick people now, right? I can't stand being kicked."
Qin Fanglu was distracted and misheard the word "踹" in "不经踹". He was confused for a while before secretly cursing himself as a hooligan. Then he comforted Ruan Cunyun: "I am an adult now, and I sleep very well."
"Just don't kick me off the bed..." Ruan Cunyun said and then passed out.
When he woke up the next morning, Ruan Cunyun felt a warm arm pressing heavily on his waist.
His whole body was held in Qin Fanglu's arms, with his spine pressed against his chest.
Ruan Cunyun took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
——It’s obvious that this person doesn’t sleep well at all.
-
Santa Claus Village is a magical place.
Snow covered the houses and pine trees along the street, and many families with children were walking on the street, wearing Christmas costumes. The colorful candy shops exuded sweet fragrance, and Christmas decorations were hung in every store.
There is a thick white line on the ground, marking the latitude. This is the boundary of the Arctic Circle.
Ruan Cunyun straddled one foot on the left side of the line and the other on the right side, smiling happily. Qin Fanglu took a photo for him.
"I'm standing on the edge of the Arctic Circle." Ruan Cunyun said while holding the photo.
Qin Fanglu was too lazy to take a photo, but Ruan Cunyun pulled him to find one. He said, "After all, it is the boundary of the Arctic Circle, so it is still very commemorative."
After returning to the hotel to rest in the afternoon, Ruan Cunyun sent photos of the Arctic Circle boundary line and the husky video recorded yesterday to the group of four people.
There are a lot of unread messages in the group. Ruan Cunyun has been busy playing these days and has no time to read the chat history at all.
Cun: [@飞常帅, look at this Husky, doesn't it look a lot like you? ]
The group members responded quickly.
Qi Chang: [Uh. May I ask who you are? ]
Madam Rose: [Have you used the popular science material I sent you? ]
Fei Changshuai: [Ruan Cunyun, you still have the nerve to come back!!! Have you not read the messages in the group for a few days? ? A sister who is married off is like spilled water!!!]
live:[]
Save: [Really just a little busy qwq]
Madam Qiangwei: [We are discussing serious matters. Since you are here, please don’t leave.]
Save: [OK.]
Qi Chang: [Let’s start the video, it’s hard to explain in words. ]
Save: [No problem.]
Ruan Cunyun was in the process of atonement as he had been absent from the chat for too long, so of course he obeyed them in everything.
Qin Fanglu was sitting by the windowsill looking at the computer. He was wearing glasses, with one leg bent. He sat in a very casual posture, as if he was handling company matters remotely.
The light of Fairy Tale Town shone on him, and Ruan Cunyun's heart suddenly moved.
Ruan Cunyun called him, shook his phone, and said, "I'm going to make a video call with my friend."
Qin Fanglu nodded: "Okay."
The video invitation came very quickly. Ruan Cunyun quickly took out his headphones and answered it with a trembling hand.
There was no time to adjust the video camera, and somehow it defaulted to the rear camera, which just framed Qin Fanglu in the center of the screen.
There was silence in the headphones for a moment, and then three "Wow" screams rang out simultaneously.
Xu Feifei: "The golden house hides a man!"
Qi Chang has amazing eyesight: "You guys sleep in the same bed? I see it's a mess."
White Rose calmly asked a fatal question: "You did it, you definitely did it."
Ruan Cunyun adjusted the camera position in a panic and walked quickly towards the gate. He was annoyed by the noise made by this group of people and whispered, "Stop talking nonsense."
Bai Qiangwei suddenly raised her voice: "Wait, what's that on the sofa? Go back and take a look!"
Ruan Cunyun followed his instructions impatiently: "What is what? What can it be?"
The screen shook, clearly showing the cute plush Christmas skirt lying in the corner of the sofa. Ruan Cunyun shuddered suddenly and quickly covered the camera.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Xu Feifei laughed wildly.
Bai Qiangwei shook her head and said, "You young people are just playing around. Yamei, you must be tired, right? Take some rest."
"Really not!" Ruan Cunyun hid in the corner to confirm that at this distance, Qin Fanglu could not hear him.
He clarified quietly but urgently, "We didn't do anything!"
"Are you two together?" asked Bai Qiangwei.
There was no way to refute this, so Ruan Cunyun nodded.
"Well, you didn't tell us!" Xu Feifei was angry, "You won't tell us unless we ask, right?"
Ruan Cunyun had a headache: "Isn't this just confirmed? It's not stable yet..."
Then, my friends on the other side of the ocean threw a lot of gossip questions at me across the time difference.
Xu Feifei's questions focused on "Did you feel his chest muscles? Are they real?", while Bai Qiangwei's questions focused on "Have you done it, have you watched the popular science, have you done all the preparations, how is his technique, and how long has it been?"
Only Qi Chang managed to keep quiet. Amid the intensive questioning by the two, he found a chance to say, "Congratulations, Sister Ya, you are one step closer to losing your virginity!"
Ruan Cunyun turned the volume down to the lowest level and was extremely glad that he was wearing headphones.
After being bombarded with nonsense for a long time, Ruan Cunyun could no longer bear it and asked through gritted teeth: "Didn't you say we wanted to talk about business? What business?"
"Oh." Bai Qiangwei finally stopped gossiping, "That one, that one."
Qi Chang continued: "We have finished editing the Hanfu photos and are deciding on the release date."
"Really?" Ruan Cunyun said in surprise.
Qi Chang continued: "I have sent the photos to your email. Please take a look at them all and see if there is anything you want to change."
Ruan Cunyun clicked on the photos and flipped through them one by one.
When I saw myself lying by the stream in a goose yellow Hanfu with a large skirt, with glittering pearls and jade and a light gauze fluttering on my face, I felt as if I were in another world.
"I think they are all good." Ruan Cunyun said, "When are you going to send them out?"
Bai Qiangwei said: "Because it is Hanfu, we think it is better to send it out during the Spring Festival, which is more suitable for the occasion."
Ruan Cunyun nodded: "Okay, that's good."
Xu Feifei said: "We plan to print some photos and postcards. Let's pick a few photos and print postcards now!"
Ruan Cunyun agreed, and while looking at the photos that Qi Chang had just sent him, he discussed them with them.
Halfway through the selection, Bai Qiangwei suddenly asked: "Sister Ya, how about giving Brother Ya's husband a set of postcards as well? How about a signed version?"
"Let's say goodbye." Ruan Cunyun said with a bitter face, his voice gradually lowered, "He seems to not like boys wearing skirts..."
Thinking back to last night when Qin Fanglu saw the Christmas skirt, he said coldly, "How can a boy wear a skirt?" I couldn't tell whether there was disgust in his tone.
White Rose made a move carelessly: "How could there be a man who doesn't like women's clothing! Wear it once and sit on his lap directly, there will definitely be an unexpected surprise!"
Ruan Cunyun looked at Qin Fanglu who was working seriously, with smoke coming out of his head: "Thank you for the great idea, Madam. I don't want to take the risk for the time being."
Qi Chang actually said something sensible: "It's okay, take your time. If he really likes you, he will tolerate and support many of your preferences."
However, from childhood to adulthood, Ruan Cunyun's preferences have not been tolerated by many people.
Qi Chang’s words made sense, but Ruan Cunyun was always afraid that such generous tolerance only existed in the virtual world.
Among a bunch of suggestions, Xu Feifei stood out and burst into tears.
Xu Feifei howled: "I just realized that I'm the only single person left in this group! You three shameless betrayers, I, the King of Otakus, will punish you! Die, you stinky couple!"
White Rose laughed wildly with pride: "Ahahaha, single dog Xu Feifei, seeing your pitiful appearance is really exciting! Let the sour smell of love erode your soul! I want to see how long your fragile pride as a single dog can last!"
These two were having a second-year syndrome and were shouting too loudly. Ruan Cunyun tried to interrupt Bai Qiangwei from casting the spell by talking about serious matters.
He was looking at a photo of himself and Bai Qiangwei, Bai Qiangwei sitting on a big rock in the jungle, her lips were red like frost, her long hair fluttering. Ruan Cunyun sat beside her with his knees bent, his arms resting on her knees, his clothes hanging down, leaning against her softly.
One is heroic, the other is gentle, what a beautiful picture.
Ruan Cunyun shouted: "Stop! Take a look at this thing I'm lying on your legs. How do you think it is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Cunyun saw Qin Fanglu standing in front of him, looking at him with raised eyebrows.
The air was stagnant. Ruan Cunyun immediately locked the screen, took off one of his headphones, and asked tremblingly: "Sorry, did I disturb you by talking..."
Qin Fanglu pointed at his watch calmly: "The dinner we have scheduled is almost here..."
Ruan Cunyun quickly said to the person in the video: "I'm leaving first, let's chat via text."
Then he hung up the phone.
Qin Fanglu showed a helpless expression: "I haven't finished my sentence yet. I want to say that you can continue chatting with your friends, and I will postpone the appointment for an hour."
"Is that so?" Ruan Cunyun scratched his ear, "It's okay, let's go have dinner."
On the way to the restaurant, Qin Fanglu seemed to have something to say all the time. Until he sat down at the table, he wanted to speak several times but swallowed his words back.
Ruan Cunyun noticed it keenly and asked him: "Well, do you want to ask something?"
Qin Fanglu took a sip of red wine and finally said calmly: "Tell me, whose lap were you lying on?"
"No, it's not..." Ruan Cunyun gritted his teeth and tried to make up for it, "I meant the bucket. I slipped while taking a shower and fell on my friend's bucket."
What a poor explanation! Ruan Cunyun wanted to push himself into the bucket and pound it twice.
Qin Fanglu leaned over slightly, and his legs hidden under the tablecloth gently moved over and hooked Ruan Cunyun's ankle.
He looked down at Ruan Cunyun and asked calmly, "My legs are not long enough for you to lie on?"
