I’ve Got This Servant’s Back (4.2)
Gu Song quickly escaped from the Third Young Master, not even having time to recall what was going on. He returned to the bedroom as soon as possible with Lu Qingshi in his arms.
With gentle movements, he peeled off the clothes that had been drenched with cold sweat, revealing his thin and soft body. Gu Song carefully placed him in the treatment cabin, letting the gentle water mist used for cleaning cover the pale and thin body of the young man.
Lu Qingshi had already fallen asleep when he was put inside, and he didn’t even respond much, just instinctively relaxed his eyebrows and let out a relaxed and comfortable sigh.
Gu Song stayed by the side and waited until the warm wind dried both Lu Qingshi’s short hair and body, then he skillfully wrapped the Youngest Master in a large fleece blanket and put him on the soft and thick bed.
❆
Because Lu Qingshi’s body was damaged by radiation in the mother’s womb, the general therapy was completely inapplicable to him. And a treatment cabin could only be used under strict control of the time. At fifteen minutes sharp, he must be taken out immediately .
Day after day, Gu Song had long been familiar with these processes, and he could do so in order with ease even when he was busy. After helping Lu Qingshi lie down comfortably, he set the timer for two hours and boiled the medicine before letting it cool for a while. Then, he waited till the last second of the timer, and carefully held his shoulders to support him: “Youngest Master, drink the medicine.”
His voice was not loud so only after patiently repeating it several times, Lu Qingshi finally opened his eyes.
The confusion after waking up disappeared the instant his eyes met Gu Song’s gaze, a slight smile quickly bloomed: “Third Brother didn’t bother you anymore, right?”
Gu Song was a bit surprised and then shook his head honestly.
Lu Qingshi curled his lips in satisfaction and allowed Gu Song to help him sit up, but he didn’t take the initiative to drink the medicine as before. Even when the medicine bowl was held to his mouth, he still pressed his lips tight and did not move.
After Gu Song hesitated a little, he lowered his gaze and looked at the starry light in the black eyes.
There was even a little bit of willfulness tainted in those eyes, staring at him without even blinking. The corners of the lips were curled up slightly and pursed open, quite oblivious of the soft curvature.
Such a carefree look appeared only after he and his Youngest Master had been together for a year or two. Since that time, Lu Qingshi would no longer be nervous about spilling medicine or accidentally breaking a toy. He learned to actively ask for what he wanted and reject what he didn’t want to do. If the opportunity arises, he would still opt to make a decent mess once or twice.
Although the Youngest Master was still weak to act willful, the two developed a silent understanding based on years of companionship. Whenever Lu Qingshi assumed this posture, he had relatively excessive demands in his hands.
Gu Song guessed his mind and cautiously opened his mouth to advise him, “Youngest Master, all the medicine needs to be finished……”
Lu Qingshi choked and couldn’t help coughing.
It startled Gu Song, he quickly got up to pat him on the back. The Youngest Master leaned on his arm obediently, half of his head buried in his shoulders. He muttered softly after a while. ”I’ll only drink the medicine if you feed it to me yourself.”
…..Wasn’t I (spoon)feeding you just now?
Quickly swallowing the question that was almost out of his mouth, Gu Song was dazed for a moment until a streak of light suddenly flashed across his heart. He gently lifted the warm head from his chest and shoulders. “Youngest Master?”
The Youngest Master had already turned red, curled up in his arms and refused to look at him. He took a deep breath to build up his courage, but his voice was still soft. “(Mouth)feed me… you can’t shrink away from your duty, or I’ll get angry…”
It was with great difficulty and a timid, soft nasally sound that Lu Qingshi was able to voice the request out loud. The soft, quivering voice was like a feather that scratched the tip of Gu Song’s heart.
The moonlight looked serene, the stars were crystal clear, and the breeze rolled with the fragrance of flowers gently whirling.
In the deepest part of the memory, the young child’s white fingertips pinched a small ball of cotton candy, pretending to forcefully feed into his mouth. The soft sweetness gradually grew and gently permeated through time.
Gu Song’s heart beat faster, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide his flushed face.
……
Can’t bear demanding such embarrassing things out loud.
There was really no way to read the remaining lines from the script again. Lu Deng’s heart thumped like a drum, and he quietly asked the system in his mind, [ Is it really effective to use this method? ]
[ It does work! Host, have faith in me! ]
Seeing the host’s tossing and turning after a whole decade of barely touching (Gu song), the system was troubled in silence so it decided to switch to the cabbage selling camp1Anna: There’s a saying ‘growing a cabbage only to be eaten by pigs, which means you are taking care of something like it’s precious but only to be ruined by someone/something way inferior. Here, instead of protecting the cabbage(Lu Deng), the system wants to sell him so that he can get eaten(by Gu Song)faster. and waved a small flag in his mind. [ Kiss before you become an adult! Otherwise, it would be too late! ]
Lu Deng laughed dumbfoundedly. He was just about to placate the system that was behaving more excited than him, but the juvenile servant in front of him had already sipped a mouthful of medicine, held it inside his cheeks clumsily without any prior experience and leaned over.2MG: How many years more are you gonna remain a juvenile, Gu Song? ಥ_ಥ
….It is indeed effective.
The fireworks bloomed quickly in his heart, his eyes were clear, and he obediently opened his mouth, allowing him to feed the medicine down into his throat.
The tip of the soft and smooth tongue approached cautiously, causing Gu Song’s heart to beat insanely fast. He was afraid that if he tightened his arms around Lu Qingshi, he might hurt him so he could only control himself, his body becoming as stiff as iron. However, only the strength in his arms remained, his whole body was losing strength from all those overwhelming feelings.
Lu Qingshi had just recovered so Gu Song didn’t want to disturb him very much. The Youngest Master was simply wrapped in a fleece blanket to protect him from wind. When he raised his head to respond, the fleece blanket slid down his pale and thin shoulders.
Gu Song’s eyes were quick and sharp. He stopped the blanket from falling with one hand and wrapped it tightly on his shoulders back before taking another mouthful of medicine to feed him.
……
A bowl of medicine was drunk very quickly, and the Youngest Master drank better than before without even needing to eat some sugar at the end.
“Youngest Master is so obedient.”3MG: No, brain, stay pure.
Gu Song straightened up and gently stroked the kissed lips with his fingers. After putting the medicine bowl aside, he stretched his arms to draw the person into his arms and stoked the shoulders and chest that turned cold after a while. “Youngest Master, don’t be afraid. I will definitely be responsible.”
The body in his arms moved slightly, and he looked up at him. He lowered his gaze and kissed the top of his hair lightly, his voice slightly muted.
“I’ll be responsible for everything. I am the Youngest Master’s servant, and I am willing to give the Youngest master everything I own, my body, my soul…”
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingshi’s breathing suddenly stagnated, and his body tightened suddenly, clutching his arm firmly.
Gu Song was alarmed slightly and looked down at him. “Youngest Master…?”
Right at that moment, inside Lu Qingshi’s mind, the image of Gu Song in the brain field4MG: Refer current arc’s synopsis on C72.1 having his consciousness destroyed and lying dead next to him flashed. His lip color instantly turned pale white and he raised his head slightly, tightening his grip more and more. “I don’t want it.”
