Comrade Su Kun, who was already lacking in intelligence, always had a period of time after waking up each day where he seemed particularly dull due to insufficient blood supply to his brain. This day was no exception.

The moment he opened his eyes, instead of seeing the clock with its second hand quietly ticking, the dark brown wooden coffin, and the light shining through the curtains, he saw a white, slightly tight vest and a firm, full chest. His entire brain simply couldn't function.

His head was pressed against Gu Yan's chin, his paws clutching the hem of Gu Yan's clothes resting on his slim waist, his legs even entangled with Gu Yan's, and his feet could rub against Gu Yan's calves with a slight movement...

Holy shit! What kind of rhythm is this!

Su Kun, who had been very calm throughout the night, seemed to only truly realize the change in his relationship with Gu Yan this morning.

At the most foolish time of the day, he couldn't figure out how Gu Yan, who had always been serious, seemingly expressionless and dull, conservative and traditional, and didn't seem to notice his inner feelings, suddenly became enlightened and took the initiative to kiss him in the shower?

Although his brain couldn't function at this time, his memory of last night was still quite clear. After recalling it, he could be sure that at that time, he had only raised his face, and it was Gu Yan who truly made the first move.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Yan's seemingly unintentional actions before seemed to become questionable. The more Su Kun pondered, the more he felt that Gu Yan must have done it on purpose, a typical case of being black when cut open despite appearing white on the surface.

However, if it was really intentional, then it meant that before this, it wasn't just his one-sided feelings, and Gu Yan also had some feelings, but he hid it too well, to the point that Su Kun, whose EQ was only slightly higher than his IQ, couldn't see it at all.

What exactly was he thinking... Su Kun slightly raised his face and looked at Gu Yan's sharp chin and protruding Adam's apple with a puzzled expression.

In fact, the reason for Gu Yan's change was very simple.

Although he was expressionless, he was not dull. His EQ was much higher than Su Kun's. After discovering Su Kun's feelings for him that were different from others, Gu Yan had some doubts and curiosity, but more importantly, his focus changed.

In the past, almost all of his attention was focused on Su Kun, because to him, Su Kun was the most special person in this world. However, at that time, he thought more about Su Kun's safety and the peculiarities of his personality. But after he discovered Su Kun's sexual orientation and his somewhat unusual feelings for him, Gu Yan's attention gradually shifted to the changes in Su Kun's emotions and the emotional fluctuations contained in his eyes.

As a result, he quickly discovered a problem during his observations.

That is, his own mood also unknowingly fluctuated with the rise and fall of Su Kun's emotions.

When he saw Su Kun's bright eyes and excited face, he would involuntarily want to raise the corners of his lips. When Su Kun pouted and looked frustrated, he would have the urge to ruffle that soft, fluffy hair. When Su Kun looked at him with surging undercurrents in his eyes, or avoided his gaze in a somewhat flustered manner, his heart would also surge with some inexplicable emotions...

Gu Yan was not so foolish as to not understand what these reactions meant. Moreover, he disliked beating around the bush by nature, and his many years as a general made his decisive and sharp style even more evident. Therefore, after discovering that he also had some different feelings for Su Kun, he did not hesitate or struggle.

In his view, it is not easy for a person to meet someone who can stir their emotions for no reason during their lifetime.

In his previous life, he devoted his heart to the battlefield, thinking about the safety of his family and country, with little time to think about those romantic feelings, and he had never met anyone he fancied. In this life, he was lucky enough to meet someone. Since he liked him, he would acknowledge it. What did it matter if it was a man or a woman? Besides, he had seen men who had deep feelings for each other and supported each other for a lifetime, so it was not that difficult for him to accept.

Unfortunately, when he figured these things out, he happened to be dealing with that demon in the neighboring city with Granny Camphor Tree and the others. In a moment of distraction, he failed to dodge and was splashed with thick blood on his pants.

When he quickly wrapped up the problem in the neighboring city and hurried back, the moment he landed on the balcony and saw Su Kun from afar by the door, thousands of emotions surged in his heart. He suddenly realized that his feelings for that reckless guy were far more than just "liking" him. Perhaps, from the very beginning, when he discovered that Su Kun was a special existence to him, the only connection between him and this world, there was already a different kind of feeling mixed in...

Of course, with Gu Yan's personality, it was impossible for him to express this whole process of transition and change. He was more inclined to put his inner thoughts into action - since he was the person he liked, he would naturally protect him wholeheartedly for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, he would not show all these thoughts and emotions on his face. So when Su Kun woke up in the early morning, he was still faced with an expressionless face.

Gu Yan had already woken up the moment Su Kun first moved. He only felt that fluffy head rubbing back and forth on his neck, and after a while, it finally settled down a bit. When he lowered his head, he happened to make direct eye contact with Su Kun, who was raising his head. Seeing Su Kun's somewhat dazed eyes, his deep voice carried a hint of faint tenderness, and he said, "Awake?"

"Uh..." Su Kun was dazed for a moment, then buried his head, hugged the quilt, and silently wriggled down a couple of times. After rolling out of his embrace, he sat up and said, "A-Awake."

Gu Yan: "..." What kind of mental illness is this?

Thus, the somewhat warm atmosphere of the early morning was completely ruined by a certain erratic guy, not even leaving a single bit behind.

But Su Kun couldn't care about these things anymore, because this day was the day he had set for the milk tea shop to officially start business. He hurriedly put on his clothes, washed up, made a phone call to the repairman, briefly explained the situation of the home circuit and the approximate location of the short circuit, agreed on a time, and then left with his satchel on his back.

Unlike those days in the past, he did not eat breakfast at home, but bought a pancake at the stall downstairs, nibbling on it as he got on the bus. Moreover, there was also a tall, handsome, and valiant dead-faced man beside him - his personal bodyguard and new boyfriend.

The morning bus happened to hit the rush hour, and the journey that usually took just over twenty minutes ended up taking nearly an hour with all the stops and starts. But it was alright, the milk tea shop mainly did business with students from S University anyway. At this time, the students were either in class or holed up in the library or dormitory, rarely venturing out.

The real peak was near noon and in the evening at meal times, when large numbers of students would pour out of the school gates in twos and threes, in an endless stream.

Earlier, when the store was still being renovated, Su Kun had followed the instructions from headquarters and prepared promotions for the first day of opening, printed them into flyers, and distributed them around S University. He just didn't know what kind of results he would see today.

Su Kun had originally thought that in the first hour or two after opening the door this early morning, there might not be any customers at all. But to his surprise, he had just opened the doors and windows and cleaned the tables with Gu Yan when the first wave of people arrived. It's just that this wave of people looked a bit familiar...

"Why are they here?" Su Kun looked at the five people walking straight towards them with a face full of exasperation and asked Gu Yan, "There isn't another problem in some city and they're short on manpower, coming to drag you in as reinforcement, right? ...But why are there two more people."

Walking from afar were precisely a few people who claimed to be the backbone of a certain special department in Li City. It's just that this time, in addition to the usual trio of Granny Camphor Tree, Master, and Comrade Mo Bao, there were two more people. One was a boy who looked to be only about ten years old, with short, spiky hair standing up on his head, but his expression was quite steady, somewhat at odds with his age. And the other was...

Holy shit! The landlord?!

Su Kun gaped with a mouth wide enough to swallow an egg whole, staring at the refined man with a hint of lazy temperament, dumbfounded: Why the hell is the landlord, who clearly lives in the normal world, walking together with people like Master and the others who live in the supernatural world? The styles don't match at all!!
