My Top Boy Is Like A Dog
Chapter 33 The calm waters wash away

“... I like you, and those are my exclusive memories..”.

At the end of the song, Gu He opened his slightly closed eyes. She used to love singing, but she didn't sing much after her father's accident. But every time he sang, he looked like he was immersed in the song.

After singing, Gu He looked at Lu Chuan expectantly, “Yo, the curve maker. What say?"

Lu Chuan was still enjoying the sound of the piano earlier, drooling at Gu He with affection in his eyes. If only one day he could hear someone say the same thing to him personally.

Gu He looked at Lu Chuan doubtfully. ‘Why is this person not moving?’ He waved his hand before Lu Chuan's eyes to attract the latter's attention.

Lu Chuan, who had just come to his senses, pulled Gu He's hand and said with a sweet smile.

“Hm, it's okay.”

'What? Okay…'

Gu He could not bear it after hearing what Lu Chuan said. She sang so beautifully, but Lu Chuan actually said it was fine!

Gu He said with a slight annoyance, “I sang so beautifully, but you just said alright, don't you feel embarrassed? Hypocritical man! Looks like you sang better than me.”.

Lu Chuan realized that Gu He might be a little displeased. Then he smiled and said, “I'm just teasing you! You sing so well!”

Gu He, who was furious, ignored Lu Chuan and looked at the lyrics in his hands. Lu Chu deliberately approached Gu He and said, “You're a boy, why are you acting like a newly married little girl? Are you really angry?”

After hearing this, Gu He became angry and confused, "I don't!"

Lu Chuan smiled and looked at Gu He gently, "I've never seen a big, small-minded boy like you."

'How can I lose my elegance in front of Lu Chuan!' Gu He said loudly to prove his manhood.

“I'm not angry at all. Think as you please .." said Gu He angrily.

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly and rubbed Gu He's soft hair, “... Well, you're not angry. You just got adrenaline in no time.”.

Gu He rolled his eyes. 'What is this adrenaline thing? After all, Lu Chuan couldn't possibly say anything good.’

Gu He took out a moving hand above his head. Every time Lu Chuan touched her hair, she felt like Lu Chuan was touching a puppy.

Lu Chuan pulled his hand. "I should stop flirting with this kitten with its fur on its feet, or I'll regret it if he runs away."

Lu Chuan said seriously, “This is so beautiful. Don't you see that I'm fascinated?”

As soon as Gu He heard this, he was slightly satisfied. “Now you are telling the truth. I can pretend not to hear what you said before!” He raised his chin, giving Lu Chuan a me-forgive-you expression.

Seeing Gu He's relaxed appearance, Lu Chuan started playing the melody of the song “Exclusive Memory”. Gu He felt that Lu Chuan was playing the piano very skillfully and gracefully, and that the piano was truly something extraordinary. Even Lu Chuan, who always showed indifferent looks but often did mischief, was pleasing to the eye because of it.

Gu He asked curiously, "Can you play any song?"

"Can you play 'Rice Fields'?" Gu He said expectantly. Singer Jay Chou is her favorite, so she'll keep some of Jay's songs on the line.

“Let me try...” Lu Chuan sat in front of the black piano and took a light breath. She placed her slender hand on the keys with a smile on her lips, and then came the beautiful piano sound. Gu He closed his eyes and listened carefully. At this moment, time seemed to be silent.

Lu Chuan's fingers pressed the button firmly, and the tone like flowing water instantly merged into a beautiful and pleasant music. Gu He looked at Lu Chuan's white and slender hands, with teary eyes.

There were ripples in Gu He's heart, as if something was softening him. He was a bit envious of Lu Chuan. 'He looks good, he looks good, and he... He's taller than me and can actually play the piano...'

'If I were a girl, I might be fascinated by her looks... Unfortunately, I'm a man... Pshaw! What are you thinking? Gu He!’ Gu He patted her on the cheek gently, trying to make himself more aware.

After Lu Chuan finished playing, Gu He began to admire Lu Chuan a little, and also could not help giving him an applause, “What a surprise, Straight Student! The water is calm!"

“Then does your heart beat fast?” Lu Chuan raised his head, looking at Gu He affectionately. Gu He felt as if time had stopped at this second, and he was a little sweaty on his forehead.

“Amazing joke! I am a really straight guy. Don't treat me as one of those little girls. They're all crazy about you when you can only play the piano..." Gu He had avoided eye contact with Lu Chuan all along.

Lu Chuan looked at Gu He's cute look and couldn't help but laugh.

Gu He stared at the dark piano in front of him, and he wanted to try. 'If I can play, am I still worried about not getting a girlfriend?'

Gu He put down the microphone in his hand and approached Lu Chuan. He said with a fawning look, “Curve shredder, I also want to learn piano. How about teaching me!”

Lu Chuan had to catch the rare opportunity that came to him. How could he not agree? "You sit here, I'll teach you ..." Lu Chuan asked Gu He to sit next to him, "Grow your hand and bend your finger at 90 degrees ..."

Lu Chuan placed his hand on the back of Gu He's hand and taught him how to press the button step by step. The two were very close, and Gu He felt uncomfortable.

Gu He did not know if he was tired after practicing singing for an hour now, or if his body was getting hotter. He was sweating all the time.

Gu He somewhat regretted his request just now. 'How is this different from what I imagined? Do we need to get this close? What's with this arm?’

Gu He felt somewhat unfamiliar with two men like this, but he thought about it again. He remembered that he had close contact with Lin Xiao before, so like this with Lu Chuan shouldn't be a big deal.

However, his body was getting hotter and hotter, and in the meantime he was still very nervous. But he asked Lu Chuan to teach him, and it was impolite to stop practicing now. So Gu He could only continue playing the song with flushed cheeks and a fast heartbeat.

Seeing Gu He's strange behavior, Lu Chuan did not let go but rubbed Gu He's hand slowly. His lips were very close to Gu He's earlobes, and he sighed while teasing Gu He, "Why is your face burning?"

Gu He felt an electric shock with his body and quickly pulled out one hand. He touched his face nervously and said shyly, “The weather is too hot, is there a problem?”

“Why do I feel you are ashamed?” Lu Chuan looked at Gu He as if looking at a kitten, smiling mischievously.
