Chapter 408 - Two People in Harmony

It was like a light wind had caressed his lips, but that breeze was filled with warmth

T-then, had that been big brothers lips?

H-his senses werent mistaken, right?

The instant after Gu Zuo reacted, his eyes widened, his face blushed a deep red, and he felt like the top of his head was giving off smoke. It was like his entire body was about to burst into flames!

Just a moment ago, he and his big brother k-kissed

But what were big brothers intentions?

Gu Zuo was dumbstruck.

No matter how unconvinced he was, he also knew that, in this world, it certainly wasnt typical for the mouths of two men to touch. If it was just to give a goodnight kiss on the forehead, that was fine. A kiss of grat.i.tude on the cheek could also work.

However, he didnt believe that his big brother would make such a low-level mistake.

In a flash, an enormous surging tide welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Was it just as he imagined?

But this was truly too abrupt. He totally didnt expect to be suddenly kissed on the lips by his big brother!

Gu Zuo endured the tremendous feelings of bashfulness and embarra.s.sment. He raised his head to look at Gongyi Tianheng.

At this time, Tianhengs expression was gentle and soft, and didnt appear any different from usual. It just seemed to exude something particularly attractive. Most of all was his eyes, which were tender and focused In his eyes, there was only the small, reflected image of Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo held his breath. He felt like he was being drawn in by something. There was no way to move his line of sight away.

He used some formidable willpower to get his mind moving, and muttered: Big brother, this is

Just now, that wasnt an illusion, right?

But why did it feel like he was dreaming

Tianheng softly chuckled: What Ah Zuo sees is the truth.

Gu Zuo blanked.

Tianheng leaned over again. This time around, he stuck out the tip of his tongue, and teasingly swept it over Gu Zuos lips: Ah Zuo? Dont get distracted now.

Gu Zuo gasped in exhilaration.

At last, Tianhengs eyes were dyed with a hint of frustrated exasperation.

He reached out a hand, and pulled Gu Zuo flush against his chest. Shortly thereafter, he slightly opened his mouth, captured those lips, and tenderly sucked. His other hand lightly caressed and stroked the back of Gu Zuos head, pressing him further into Tianhengs embrace. Soon after, the tip of his tongue gently danced over Gu Zuos lips and teeth, seeking entrance. It penetrated deeply, and lovingly entangled itself with its partner

Gu Zuo was thoroughly, completely, dumbfounded.

When he confusedly watched as his familys big brother approached, he sensed big brothers scent surrounding him. He felt the warmth on his lips, the press against his teeth, and the coiling touch across his tongue That kind of tender, resolute, and possessive feeling utterly consumed him.

It caused his body to stiffen, not knowing how to react. He could only pa.s.sively let that sucking and invasive power engulf him from inside out.

At this moment, Gu Zuo didnt have any thoughts.

He could only see the enlarged, handsome face of his dear big brother, and he could only feel big brothers warm exhaled breaths. Little by little, he was covered in big brothers scent.

It was to the point that, once he could finally take a breath, the watery lights that carried his affection rose unbidden to the surface of his eyes.

Gu Zuo suddenly gasped for air.

The side of his face stuck to his dear big brothers wide and expansive chest. He listened to the heartbeat coming from that chest. It felt somewhat faster than normal.

His mind was a blank, white sheet.

Big brother

He subconsciously called out in a low voice.

However, in the end, what did he want to say? Many thoughts emerged from the bottom of his heart, but it seemed that he didnt know how to put them into words.

Soon after, a pair of warm hands cupped his face, and gently raised his head.

Gu Zuo looked up. The blush on his face showed no signs of fading.

Tianheng faintly smiled: I understand Ah Zuos feelings.

Gu Zuos face reddened even more. Ah! H-he didnt know when big brother found out!

Tianhengs gaze softened even more: Does Ah Zuo understand my feelings?

Gu Zuos eyes widened.

Tianheng couldnt help chuckling, and simply nipped the tip of Gu Zuos nose. In a warm voice, he said: Does Ah Zuo have anything he wants to say to me? On this day, right this momentk2026;

The tone of his words was gentle. It seemed to carry an indescribable type of coaxing.

Gu Zuo took a deep breath: I like big brother.

As he spoke, he thought of what he had always wanted to say to his big brother. There none of those previous doubts. Instead, he pushed onward: I love and adore big brother. Its just like the cherished longing between a man and a woman.

Tianheng smiled again.

From his gaze, the darkness, which had always been hidden within the depths of his eyes in the past, was now receding. Though it was hardly bright and s.h.i.+ning, it bore a supple warmth that seemed to condense like a drop of pure water. He gently said: I also like Ah Zuo, and I cherish Ah Zuo the same way.

At this moment, the ecstasy of fulfilling his long-held dream flooded Gu Zuo. He couldnt even think about anything else. The only thing that occupied his mind was the young man before his eyes.

Tianheng embraced Gu Zuo in his arms. His voice was smooth and steady, but his tone carried a type confidence that left no room for doubt: From now on, Ah Zuo only belongs to me.

Gu Zuo closed his eyes, and used some strength to nuzzle against Tianhengs chest: I belong to big brother. Then, he wrapped his arms around Tianhengs waist, and supplemented with a m.u.f.fled voice, But big brother also belongs to me. There can be no one else.

Tianheng laughed, and his chest faintly shook: There will never be anyone else. He softly sighed and said, Ah Zuo, rest a.s.sured. You are my one and only.

After Gu Zuo nestled into Tianhengs embrace for a while, his reddened face burrowed out. At this time, the two of them were already waiting at a street corner. Not far away, a low-profile car drove over. It was the driver who brought them here during the day.

They walked to the car.

Once the driver saw them, he let out a clear sigh of relief.

Tianheng opened the door, and beckoned at Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo got into the car. Looking at the perfect side-profile of his big brother sitting next to him, he suddenly felt that tonight was like a dream come true. Did he really get together with Tianheng so easily?

Tianheng reached out a hand to ruffle Gu Zuos hair, and pulled him over so that they were leaning against one another: Want to take a nap?

Actually, Gu Zuos physical body wasnt particularly exhausted. However, because his state of mind had been too excited today, he was a little tired. Moreover, he was seriously lacking in any sense of reality right now. He always wanted to snuggle up with his big brother again Hence, he dawdled for just a moment or two before following along.

In the front, the driver remained silent, and didnt make a sound.

However, he witnessed this scene from the rearview mirror He felt that the atmosphere between these two people seemed to have become even more peculiar. After that, he pondered about telling his employer about this once he went back.

Gu Zuo peacefully leaned against Tianhengs shoulder, and slowly digested the fact that he and Tianheng were finally together. Because of the constant intimacy, what happened just now, as well as the many matters that he once experienced with Tianheng in the other world, quickly flashed across his mind one after another.

Gradually, from the bottom of his heart, he realized just how strange the relations.h.i.+p between him and big brother had become over the past few years. From making use of each other at the start, to trusting in one another, and to something that was ambiguous and unknown later on The changes amid this transformation were silent and imperceptible.

Before he even noticed it, the closeness between the two of them was already very different from how brothers interacted with each other.

Initially, Gu Zuo was in the middle of everything, and didnt understand clearly. He could only see his own intentions, but couldnt see that Tianhengs doting upon him had already crossed a certain boundary. And now, when he recalled those past actions again, he made a discovery from numerous, minor details. In fact, not only his att.i.tude towards Tianheng, but Tianhengs att.i.tude towards himself hadnt been quite right from the very beginning. Then, was there another period of time when it became even more obvious and deliberate than before?

If Gu Zuo didnt know his familys big brother very well, it wouldve been impossible for him to recognize this deliberate intention. Moreover, according to the timeframe, perhaps it wasnt long after he found out that he was interested in Tianheng that Tianheng likewise started treating him differently This shouldnt have been an illusion.

Having calmed down, Gu Zuos face couldnt help revealing a joyous, smiling expression.

As it turned out, he and his big brother had been secretly in love with each other.

Perhaps, when he was completely stuck on how he couldnt both have his big brothers affections and return to the modern world, his big brother was also worried about how to make him feel the same way?

Knowing that he had never been alone in these matters of the heart was truly comforting.

At this time, Gu Zuo recalled when he reunited with big brother in this world. Big brothers mood had nearly flown into a rage.

It wasnt that strange. If ones cherished and trusted person had actually been thinking about leaving the entire time, anyone would be angry. And surprisingly, big brothers anger reached the point that the punishment wasspanking him. Now that he thought about it, apart from the anger, there was also the reluctance of letting go?

Thinking about it a little deeper, it was like an indescribable sweetness was welling up.

Gu Zuo hastily waved away these clingy notions.

But later on, it did seem that big brother treated him moreintimately.

He couldnt help but think about his own very obvious displays after they reunited. He almost couldnt stop himself from facepalming. He truly couldnt see the forest for the trees! If big brother really was a straight man, he probably wouldnt have been able to find out. But since big brother wasnt straight, he certainly wouldve recognized Gu Zuos thoughts after they got back together! It was no wonder that there was so much activity afterwards. At this time, he recalled all those things that had some special meaning. It really was like he was being seduced Ah, he shouldnt think such indecent thoughts.

Gu Zuo vaguely felt that part of the reason why big brother

raised him up high, but set him down gently

ought to have been because his own feelings were exposed. Also, big brother probably wasnt ready to make things official at that time. Instead, big brother wanted to watch Gu Zuo rack his brains to romantically pursue him. There was certainly an intent to punish him among all of this, right? After seeing Gu Zuo put so much thought into it, big brother was slowly appeased, and his anger completely disappeared.

And today

Maybe it wasnt only Gu Zuo who considered this a date. Perhaps, Tianheng thought the same.

At this point, Gu Zuo couldnt help thinking about the boring plans for the date and all those dull games And yet, Tianheng kept him company, and gave them a try one after another. In that movie theater, there were quite a few times when he was in a trace, wanting to pounce and take advantage of his big brother. Moreover, the illusion that big brother wouldve certainly allowed this probably wasnt an illusion at all. Rather, big brother had been waiting for him to take advantage?

In the end, he missed those opportunities for nothing. On the contrary, he made big brother disappointed.

When all was said and done, Gu Zuo wasnt a fool. Even though he was very young in the past, and there were many things he wouldve never considered, after following Tianheng for so long, he gained a lot of experience.

Although he was deeply involved in the beginning and couldnt see things clearly, now that he had a firm grasp of the end of this thread, everything that happened previously was straightened out.

Thus, his heart, which was held in suspense due to a lack of any realism, slowly developed a sense of security through these memories, and gradually settled down.

He and big brother were really together.

Gu Zuos breathing slowly evened out.

Now that he could be together with big brother, it was like they were in harmony. It would truly be perfect if they never parted again.

Immediately following this, another voice pa.s.sed into his consciousness.

[Ah Zuo, I feel the same, too.]

Unexpectedly, it was Tianhengs voice transmission.

Gu Zuo suddenly reacted. That sentence just a moment ago, did he unconsciously send it to big brother? Soon after, he abruptly realized that the faded connection between himself and Tianheng had become inseparably close. All of a sudden, it was like they were now closer than flesh and blood!

They could transmit thoughts? Had the guardian contract become even more firm and secure?

Gu Zuo startled, and suddenly sat up.

Tianheng knew what he was amazed about, and transmitted.

[Ah Zuo, calm down a little bit. We certainly can share our thoughts.]

Gu Zuo slowly relaxed.

[When I first returned to this world, not only did the system lack energy, I also had no way to sense big brothers existence. Even when big brother approached, the connection didnt work. We also couldnt transmit thoughts. But now, we suddenly can I just dont know why.]

Tianheng pondered for a moment.

[I can sense that the contract between me and Ah Zuo has become even clearer.]

Gu Zuo nodded his head.

Indeed, it was like this. Previously, although he and big brother shared a telepathic link, and could perceive the contracts existence, this perception wasnt particularly strong. It was only when they came across danger that this perception would be a bit more distinct.

However, it was different now. Not only was the contract more clear and distinct, it made him feel that there was an inseparably close connection between the two of them. This kind of connection didnt only exist at the psychic level. It seemed to reach a physical level, too.

Tianheng sent another voice transmission.

[How much about this guardian contract does Ah Zuo understand?]

A spirited light flashed across Gu Zuos mind. He suddenly remembered some things.

[Right, big brother. The guardian contract is divided into four stages. In the past, big brother and I reached the second stage. Now, maybe its because we confessed that the contract advanced a step?]

Undoubtedly, this conjecture made sense.

The third stage was called Life and Death Companions. It required that the friends.h.i.+p between the pharmacist and guardian deepened to such a degree that it underwent a qualitative change. Moreover, both of them needed to be willing to give their lives for the other person.

Originally, Gu Zuo and Tianhengs contract had been stuck at the second stage for a long time. It was because Tianhengs rationality dominated his emotions. In addition, Gu Zuo felt uneasy about Gu Qi and wanted to go back, which left a barrier in his heart.

But when the accident with the Void-Breaking Shuttle occurred, Tianheng knew perfectly well that there was a problem, but he didnt hesitate to grab Gu Zuos hand. This was a type of conditioned reflex, and there wasnt enough time to think rationally. Therefore, at that moment, Tianhengs side had already achieved the state of braving life and death together. As for Gu Zuo, he was a very emotional person. His family and his loved one were equally important to him. He was also willing to risk his life for both sides, but his family and his loved one were in two different worlds. The balance in his heart kept tilting back and forth. But this was no longer an issue. The person he loved and his cherished family were in the same world, the family reunion was in sight, and the relations.h.i.+p with his loved one was confirmed. The barrier in his heart was gone. Naturally, everything followed its proper course.

Hence, the contract between the two officially upgraded from the second stages Profound Friends.h.i.+p to the third stages Life and Death Companions.

Gu Zuo thought about it, and told his dear big brother about everything.

[I wonder if the semi-illusory state of our contract is due to the systems lack of energy? Could it be because the establishment of the contract is related to the will of the world? Or maybe, theres a relations.h.i.+p between the contracts feedback and the the concentration of ambient qi? Since this worlds ambient qi is very spa.r.s.e, this worlds path of martial arts is especially weak and small, and the path of spirituality is completely nonexistent, the contracts connection has become very faint here. But my relations.h.i.+p with big brother En, after taking the next step, we were able to reach Life and Death Companions. This kind of connection is intimately close from the body to the mind. Its only natural that its unaffected by the worlds limitations. Big brother, what do you think?]

Tianheng faintly nodded his head.

[Ah Zuos conjecture makes a lot of sense.]

Gu Zuos lips couldnt help pursing into a small smile. There was a little pride, but there was even more happiness.

[Its only a pity that we cant go back. Although our injuries can be transferred to one another during the third stage, it seems that our strength already exceeds the need for any wound transferals in this world It was difficult to upgrade the contract to the third stage, so its a bit of a waste.]

However, voice transmissions were a very good thing. After the upgrade, the maximum range of his psychic power was now the maximum distance of his telepathic connection with his guardian. Ah, this was incredibly convenient.

However, right at this time, Tianhengs tone carried some surprise.

[Ah Zuo, why do you think that we cant go back?]

Gu Zuo stared blankly.

[The Void-Breaking Shuttles energy is depleted. I also dont have any way to refine the earth-level Void Pill]

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he tacitly accepted that they werent able to return, but his big brother didnt seem to think the same. Tianheng wasnt resigned to this fate.

In that case, what were they supposed to do?

In a split second, Gu Zuos mind was thrown into disarray.

Yes. Granted that he was in harmony with big brother, Tianheng was still the same person who wanted to step foot upon the pinnacle of the path of martial arts. Big brothers family, big brothers master, everything that he had was in that world. It was impossible for Tianheng to willingly remain in this world and not do everything he could to go back.

But what about himself?

He also couldnt abandon his dad and father, and leave for another world with big brother.

Of course, now that he had the Void-Breaking Shuttle, if he could go back, perhaps he could think of a way to refill the shuttles energy and visit his family. However, it was conceivable that the power to travel through s.p.a.cetime ought to be hard to find With his dad and fathers lifespans, how many times could he go back and forth?

A bitter, pained feeling suddenly welled up and filled Gu Zuos heart.

Emotions and feelings were the most important things to him, but he couldnt let the feelings between him and his lover, with Tianheng, be his whole world. These feelings couldnt make him drop everything else either.

Because all of his feelings were originally a part of him, if he lost this part, he wouldnt be a complete Gu Zuo.

The car was still traveling along the road, but as Gu Zuos complexion paled, the atmosphere, which was clearly warm and affectionate just now, seemed to turn slightly gloomy.

Until Tianheng raised a hand, and vigorously ruffled Gu Zuos hair.

Gu Zuo lifted his panicked eyes.

Tianheng was somewhat unwilling to let go, and faintly sighed.

[Ah Zuo, dont overthink it.]

Gu Zuos eyes were similarly filled with lots of reluctance. Although Gu Zuo didnt voice the notions in his heart, with Tianhengs intelligence, how could he not know what Gu Zuo was thinking?

Shortly thereafter, Tianheng pulled him into a close embrace. His tone was very gentle and soft.

[Ah Zuo, the methods of returning arent necessarily limited to just these two types. Once you bring the systems energy back to full strength, you can ask the system. Maybe it knows about other options. From what I can see, since that system is following you, perhaps it also isnt necessarily willing to remain in this world for too long]

Gu Zuo was silent.

He knew that this probability was very high, but he certainly wasnt going to compromise with the system when his dad and father were still alive. That system was similar to a type of inheritance. Thus, he vaguely knew that the system wouldnt obliterate him so easily.

[Although Ah Zuo cant refine earth-level pills, its possible that the Void-Breaking Shuttle can be replenished. While the ambient qi in this place is thin, if we can attract many organizations with medicinal pills, theres a chance that we can find useable energy sources Ah Zuo only needs to concern himself with Uncle Gu and Uncle Zhao.]

Gu Zuo suddenly raised his head.

Tianheng faintly smiled.

[Ah Zuo has always wanted to stay in this place to accompany these two uncles. Why have you never consideredthat you and I can bring the two uncles back to that world? Every man has his own ambitions. Though this world is convenient, its inhabitants have short lifespans and its lands are narrow and small. It cant compare to the vast and boundless Central Continent. In this elder brothers opinion, so-called science and technology arent as dazzling as the path of martial arts. The two uncles are rather restricted in this place, and not everything they experienced here was pleasant.

[But if they go with us to the Central Continent, they can be placed under the protection of Ten Ultimates Sect. Ah Zuo possesses many outstanding items and medicines, and I have acc.u.mulated lots of resources. How could it be possible for the two uncles to not set foot upon the path of martial arts and enjoy untold years of life with Ah Zuo?]

Gu Zuos breathing suddenly hastened.

Indeed, he had never thought about this problem to such an extent, but now that it was pointed out by his familys big brother, his way of thinking immediately changed directions Right, it could also be like this!

Renouncing the modern world really was quite a pity, but Gu Zuo believed that a family that stayed together was the most important.

Due to the threats of that obscure organization back then, father was forcibly taken away, and the business that was arduously set up had long been wiped out. In order to provide for their family and hide himself, dad couldnt establish a medical career at all.

At the same time, both father and dad were orphans. Apart from each other, there wasnt anyone else whom they would miss Since it was like this, why not switch to a wider world and start over?

At this moment, Gu Zuos mind was turning quickly.

Actually, if he wanted to bring people back, he only needed to replenish the Void-Breaking Shuttle. The shuttle was capable of taking along him and big brother. If it was in good condition, maybe it could bring even more people. It only needed them to properly use a drop of blood to recognize an owner and be refined As for how the Void-Breaking Shuttle was restored, even though they couldnt think of a way right now, the system probably could.

As such, what they currently needed to do was to replenish the systems energy so that it could wake up.

T/N: Sorry for the delay, I had some stuff IRL to handle.

Thanks for the corrections, Charysa.
