I've Got this Cannon Fodder's BackCh24.2 - I’ve got this Scholar’s back (6)

Gu Chuanbai couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.  Thinking he might as well, he relaxed. He confidently opened his arms and wrapped the other in his embrace. He sat sideways on the sofa, “Aren’t you tired?”

When he had put in the wine, he only thought about ensuring the taste and texture. Now he’s found that Lu Jingmo was a lot more sensitive to alcohol than the average person. The body in his arms, lay close against him, all nice and warm. The top of his head rubbed lightly against his chin. It felt so comfortable, it made him reluctant to let go. 5H7 cO

When they go out, he must remember not to let Lu Jingmo touch alcohol.

Although he was drunk from the little bit of alcohol, Lu Jingmo was not at all a noisy drunk. He was simply content to lay in a familiar embrace. After a while, he suddenly had a new idea. He grabbed onto Gu Chuanbai’s collar and tugged.

Gu Chuanbai looked down at him and gently held his hand, rescuing his collar that was about to be torn apart. He rubbed the edge of his lips against the other’s hairline and without batting an eyelid said quietly, “What do you want to do?”

“Have a bath and do homework.” JPF 02

Lu Jingmo blinked, raised his head and let out an extraordinarily bright smile. He then pulled away from his arms and walked to the break room.

His office was tidy and his steps were steady. He probably won’t run into the door. Gu Chuanbai retracted his arm. Noticing that the warmth in his arms suddenly moved away, his heart gave a couple of little jumps.

Lu Jingmo came back very quickly, holding a casual T-shirt and pair of shorts in his arms. Clothes in hand, he threw himself back into Gu Chuanbai’s arms, the smile in his eyes going even deeper.

Suddenly guessing what was going on, Gu Chuanbai embraced him with one arm and took the clothes with his other hand to take a look. Suddenly, a warm and choked feeling surged through his chest.

Given the size, this was obviously not Lu Jingmo’s own clothes. It also still had the crispness distinct to new clothes. Although it was a very simple basic style, the fabric is particularly soft and comfortable. The shape was loose so there was no problem wearing it to sleep.

He could feel his eyes going slightly damp but it slowly went away. Gu Chuanbai closed his arms around the other, holding him in his embrace. He said softly, “Jingmo.”

The person in his arms raised his head towards his voice. Gu Chuanbai rubbed his hair. He wanted to say something but he suddenly hesitated. It took a long while before he let out a gentle laugh.

Lu Jingmo blinked between his arms and raised his arms to encircle around him.

He wanted it to be a pleasant surprise for the other party so he couldn’t say it yet. Xmlt0V

Lu Jingmo’s thoughts were running a little slow under the influence of alcohol. It wasn’t until Gu Chuanbai’s expression was already a little nervous that his eyes curved with a smile and said, “Okay.”

Hearing his response, Gu Chuanbai’s eyes revealed bright warmth. That arms that embraced Lu Jingmo tightened and he stood up still with the other in his arms.

“Go, take a shower first.”

Although he was being a lot more intimate than when he was when he was awake, Lu Jingmo was still very open to persuasion. Lu Jingmo nodded and let go of his arm. He allowed himself to be led to the bathroom. PiwTXK

He hadn’t put a lot of the wine in the ice cream, but seeing Lu Jingmo’s situation at the moment, Gu Chuanbai didn’t dare let him take a shower by himself. He helped him take off his shirt. He turn on the shower and tested the water flow before he led the other to stand under the spray.

Lu Jingmo was obediently let himself be led under the spray of water. He felt even dizzier under the warm spray. He relaxed both physically and mentally and his eyes almost closed shut.

Gu Chuanbai was worried that he would hit himself against the cold ceramic tiles. He pulled the other to lean against him. He poured some shampoo into his palm and rubbing it patiently into his hair.

Once the thin layer of snow-white foam had covered his short hair, Gu Chuanbai moved his hand to shield his eyes and then raised his head slightly while holding his cheek. fOcMRp

The fine eyelashes brushed softly against his palm, quietly teasing his heart. The sound of his heart racing thundered even louder in his ears.

Gu Chuanbai held his breath for a while and focused his attention on Lu Jingmo’s soaking wet short hair. He carefully washed off the foam for him and leaned him back against his chest.

Normally, botanists should often go up and down the mountain to collect new samples. Maybe it was because Lu Jingmo didn’t specialize in taxonomy so his complexion was so fair. The body was slightly thin but not frail. The water flowed down his back and he could vaguely make out his smooth and beautiful muscle lines.

At this time, he mustn’t take advantage of his position. He still had to hand in his homework tomorrow.

After washing him well, he wrapped the other in a bath towel and sent him out of the bathroom. Gu Chaunbai then bitterly plunged under the ice-cold shower and pondered.

At least Lu Jingmo still knew how to change his clothes. Gu Chuanbai took a cold shower and hurried out. His little professor had changed into pajamas and was leaning against the bed, dozing off.

The clothes on his body were soft and fit well. They were so comfortable, he never wanted to take them off against. The look in Gu Chuanbai’s eyes turned warmer. He helped the professor to lay down and covered him with the thin, summer quilt. He then turned off the lights and returned to the office outside. 2YMhHj

If he was going to hand it in tomorrow, he could probably finish it after an all-nighter.

Pulling an all-nighter to write a paper was worth it.

The corners of his lips couldn’t help ticking up into a gentle arc. Gu Chuanbai took a deep breath and raised his spirits. He plugged in the computer. When he lifted his pen, there was the sound of something heavy falling inside the break room.

After all, Lu Jingmo was still drunk. Gu Chuanbai’s heart suddenly jumped. He hurriedly got up and rushed into the break room. He raised his hand to turn on the light and was met with the uneasiness in the young professor’s eyes that had yet to disappear. jacDpW

Probably because he suddenly woke up in the dark and the bed was not wide enough, Lu Jingmo fell straight over the edge of the bed. He looked fixedly at him with seemingly unknown pain, his expression faintly dazed.

Gu Chuanbai’s heart tightened, taken by surprise. All thoughts were driven from Gu Chaunbai’s mind. He hurried over to pick him up and then realize that his body, which had still been warm just now, was now cold. A fine layer of cold sweat also covered his forehead.

“It’s okay, I’m here. I’m just doing homework outside—”

Holding him firmly in his arms, Gu Chuanbai comforted him in a gentle voice. He was about to say something more when he was caught by surprise and he suddenly stopped. 6yBmbS

Lu Jingmo had suddenly threw himself at him. He took the initiative to hug his neck. He bowed his head and buried it into the hollow of his neck.

When he was awake, Lu Jingmo never appeared to be so clearly uneasy. The last time he had hypoglycemia, just a few words of comfort for enough for him to reveal a calm and unobstructed smile once again. Because of it, people weren’t able to notice that fleeting ray of light in the depths of his sleek, raven-dark eyes.

The sudden leap and tight embrace made Gu Chuanbai’s chest, for reasons he himself didn’t know, tighten in pain. His voice subconsciously turned a little hoarse. He patted his back consolingly. “I’m here, I’m here. It’s okay… …”

He didn’t know how long it took, but his tight shoulders gradually relaxed. A touch of warmth finally returned to the body between his arms. 6xSeit

Although it is not clear whether the other party had a nightmare, he could at least guess that Lu Jingmo didn’t like the dark. After a moment’s hesitation, Gu Chuanbai stood up, holding the person in arms and gently rubbing his hair.

“I wasn’t able to listen in on the entire lecture for that day. There are a few questions I can’t quite answer. Can Professor Lu teach me?”

The head against his neck moved and looked up at him. There weren’t any tears but his eyes were slightly red.

Gu Chuanbai’s chest tightened painfully but the smile on his face became softer and calmer. He stroked his hair patiently and took him straight out of the break room to sit at the desk together. pCVhgA

During the past few days, he had already previewed most of the book “Botany”. There weren’t really any questions he couldn’t answer. He merely said that because he didn’t feel at ease leaving the other back there once again.

Holding the person in his arms, Gu Chuanbai asked a few token questions. He unfolded his notebook and began to earnestly do his homework under the lamplight.

Lu Jingmo leaned against his bosom, watching the bold handwriting flowing from the tip of his pen. The anxiety in his heart finally disappeared completely, that somewhat vivid feeling faded and the tipsy, drowsy tiredness surged up again.

Seeing that the little professor in his arms was starting to nod off, Gu Chuanbai stopped writing, a helpless, gentle smile appeared on his lips. ItUxDp

Despite Lu Jingmo’s half asleep and half-awake state, he still clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. Gu Chuanbai, movements light, carefully held the other and adjusted his posture, letting him lean more comfortably in his arms.

Remembering that Lu Jingmo had eaten a lot of ice cream today, fearing that his stomach would be cold, Gu Chuanbai wrote his homework and deliberately warmed his empty hand, using it to slowly rub the other’s stomach.

It would be nice if he got assigned more homework in the future.

  1. Love really turns people mad… Really…

    No dislike also can cause a person to do outrageous things like how Jingmo directly became a professor to escape from homework

  2. Thank you for the chapter!

    I really enjoy this cp. I like that the ML is not afraid to cry and show his emotions. I like that as a cp they are so tender and genuinely care for each other. Very nice, I enjoy this sweet dog food.

  3. OH MYYY. This made me go all soft and mushy. My heart feels warm. What are these strange feelings?

    I’M JEALOUS

    Thanks for the chapter <3

  4. Lu deng has gotten some serious ptsd, huh? I really hope he can overcome this in the future, poor thing. Gu Chuanbai is such a warm guy, it is so good having gentle MLs, I love them the most. but….. isn’t the pacing a little bit off? like…there’s no way you would bathe a person on the third day of their meeting.

    • In a way, it may definitely seem fast af. However, people have different ways of interacting and given their special circumstances, I think it’s no wonder really. The relationship of the MC and ML has a kinda familiar, affectionate and straightforward vibe about it. From the start when they met in the other world, they’ve gotten along well. It’s kinda hard to describe… they interacted with a certain ease, probably because their personalities really suited each other.

      Now take all of that and add onto it all the feelings and intact memories for Lu Deng, and a subconscious attraction and affection stemming from the soul for the ML and it’s no surprise they didn’t have much difficulty getting close this time around and took like no time at all 😀

  5. Gosh poor Lu Deng. It seems that traumatic experience will take quite a while to fully recover from. Forrunately Gu Chuanbai is there to comfort him~

    Btw it’s good to see that the latter is still prone to tearing up xD this may sound strange but I really appreciate that trait of his owo xD

    Thank you~ ^w^

  6. They shared the shower and now Gu Chuanbai is rubbing his stomach? That’s progress!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  7. Reading their interaction makes me feels so sweet and fluffy abd warm all over ahhhhh

    They really care for each other from their soul ah so so cute QAQ Lu Deng seems like really traumatized by the events in previous world…. Also ML is so expressive! He isn’t afraid to show that he can also cry ah!

    Thanks for the chapter! 💜

  8. God, this is a good break away from dog blood dramas and angsty plotlines!

    This really heals my spirit and heart♡

    Thank you for the chapter!

    I can’t wait for more of GC and LJ fluff!!!

  9. I love this duo so much! So much fluff already, even if one party still doesn’t know why they be having a fluffy party. I wonder what the plot will throw at them from here…

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  10. This ML.. he is enjoying the free tofu, aint he?

  11. Homework lol

    I don’t think I can eat so we much dog food but please give me more!! No regrets!!

    Thank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️

  12. the ice cream is the real wingman here for being so potent that it stays cold within the professor’s 36.5°C stomach, just so gcb could warm him up … ^__^)b

    thanks for the chapter!

  13. ‘The clothes on his body were soft and fit well. They were so comfortable, he never wanted to take them off against.’

    It should be ‘again’ I believe, not ‘against’.

  14. It’s just a small part of the chapter but I hope Lu Deng won’t bury Gu Chuanbai in homework and make him pull an all-nighter again.
