Doctor Gu’s Orange Cat Boyfriend - Chapter 38

“What?!”

 

Su Wanqing’s voice shot up sharply as her eyes widened in shock.

 

She grabbed Lin Mucí’s arm.

 

“You… you two… last night?!”

 

Startled by her intense reaction, Lin Mucí quickly covered her mouth.

 

“Sis! Keep your voice down!”

 

He glanced back guiltily.

 

Thankfully, Gu Chaoyu and Zhou Yang were still at the food counter, a good distance away. They probably hadn’t heard.

 

Su Wanqing pried his hand away, her entire being plunged into a state of extreme excitement.

 

Her cheeks flushed crimson, her breathing quickening.

 

【Aaaaaah!】

 

【This can’t be a dream!】

 

【My ship! The ship I personally shipped! It’s actually real!】

 

【Last night! They were together!】

 

【I knew there was something off about the vibe between them!】

 

【My damn CP radar has never been wrong!】

 

Su Wanqing trembled with excitement, grabbing Lin Mucí’s shoulders and shaking him frantically.

 

“Hurry! Hurry up and tell me! What happened? Who confessed first? Did you kiss? Did you…”

 

Her words trailed off mid-sentence as a lecherous, excited grin spread across her face.

 

“Did you go all the way?”

 

Lin Mucí: “…”

 

【What the hell are you saying, cousin!】

 

【That’s… way too direct!】

 

【We just started dating, okay!】

 

“N-no!” he stammered in denial. “It was… just a normal start!”

 

“Normal?” Su Wanqing clearly didn’t buy it. “With your looks, the vibe between you, and that mutual crush tension—how could it possibly be normal?!”

 

She lowered her voice and leaned close to Lin Mucí’s ear,

 

“Spill it—did you two have a wild night last night? Couldn’t you stop yourselves?”

 

Lin Mucí wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

 

He was seriously questioning whether telling his cousin they were together had been the right decision.

 

Just then, Gu Chaoyu and Zhou Yang returned carrying trays of food.

 

“Why are you so flushed?”

 

Lin Mucí froze at the sound of his voice.

 

“N-nothing! It’s just too hot!”

 

He grabbed a fork, hastily speared a piece of bacon, and shoved it into his mouth.

 

Su Wanqing watched their natural, intimate interaction from the side, her auntie smile stretching almost to her ears.

 

【So cute, so cute!】

 

【Sugar from the main characters is the sweetest!】

 

Zhou Yang glanced from one to the other, utterly baffled.

 

“What kind of silent game are you two playing?”

 

Su Wanqing cleared her throat, regaining her usual composure, and waved him off.

 

“Nothing much, just a little secret between us.”

 

Though she said this aloud, her hand under the table secretly nudged Lin Mucí.

 

Lin Mucí: “?”

 

Su Wanqing frantically winked and mouthed exaggeratedly at him.

 

“SPA! SPA! Must go!”

 

“Just together now—perfect timing to heat things up!”

 

“Seize the moment!”

 

Lin Mucí was both amused and exasperated.

 

What else could he say?

 

He could only lift his head to meet Gu Chaoyu’s inquiring gaze and suggest:

 

Chaoyu, shall we head to ‘Starlight Realm’ this afternoon?”

 

Su Wanqing was thoroughly satisfied upon receiving Gu Chaoyu’s affirmative response.

 

……

 

After breakfast, the four split into pairs to stroll through the hotel’s rear garden.

 

That afternoon, Lin Mucí and Gu Chaoyu arrived punctually at the front desk of “Starlight Realm.”

 

The decor here differed slightly from the rest of the hotel—quieter, more serene, and exceptionally comfortable.

 

A faint scent of cedar and bergamot filled the air, causing one’s nerves to relax the moment they stepped inside.

 

A staff member in a plain uniform greeted them with a smile.

 

“Good afternoon, Mr. Gu, Mr. Lin. Your exclusive Starry Sky Suite is ready. Please follow me.”

 

The two followed the staff member through a quiet, long corridor.

 

On either side of the corridor, gentle water flowed alongside lush greenery. The lighting was perfectly designed to ease any lingering tension.

 

Finally, the attendant stopped before a heavy wooden door.

 

“Please come in. Spa robes and disposable amenities are ready for you in the changing cabinets. After changing, press the service bell beside the bed, and a therapist will come in.”

 

The attendant bowed and withdrew.

 

Gu Chaoyu pushed open the door.

 

The spacious room featured two treatment beds side by side, each draped in pristine white linens.

 

Most breathtaking was the ceiling—a vast expanse of starry sky.

 

Countless stars twinkled against the deep blue canopy, occasionally punctuated by dazzling shooting stars streaking across the sky. The realism was so profound it felt as though one truly stood amidst the wilderness.

 

【Wow…】

 

【This is just too beautiful!】

 

【No wonder they call it the Starry Sky Realm!】

 

Gu Chaoyu closed the door, and the room instantly dimmed, leaving only the “starlight” above flickering.

 

He walked to the wardrobe and took out a spa robe.

 

“Change into this first.”

 

“Oh… okay.”

 

Lin Mucí finally snapped back to reality.

 

His face flushed as he walked to another wardrobe, turning his back to Gu Chaoyu.

 

He swiftly stripped off his T-shirt and pants, just as he was about to slip into the spa robe, a rustling sound of fabric reached his ears from behind.

 

Unable to resist, he stole a glance at the reflection in the wardrobe door.

 

Gu Chaoyu had also removed his top.

 

His physique was even more perfect than what Lin Xiaomiao had seen.

 

He was practically… a walking hormone factory.

 

Lin Mucí felt his nose grow warm.

 

【Help! Who could handle this?】

 

【Don’t look! Don’t look!】

 

【Keep staring and you’ll get a nosebleed!】

 

He quickly averted his gaze, slipped on the spa robe, tied the sash, then hurried over to the treatment bed and lay face-down.

 

He buried his face deep into the round hole in the mattress, pretending he was an ostrich.

 

Gu Chaoyu watched Lin Mucí with amusement, since he could clearly hear the young man’s inner monologue.

 

Gu Chaoyu changed into his spa robe and pressed the service bell.

 

Soon, two therapists knocked and entered.

 

“Mr. Gu/Mr. Lin, we’ll begin your treatment now. Are you allergic to any essential oils?”

 

Both answered in unison, “No.”

 

“Alright, let’s get started.”

 

Warm essential oil was poured onto his back as the therapists began massaging and applying pressure with just the right amount of force.

 

Under their skilled hands, the aching muscles gradually loosened.

 

The air slowly filled with the scent of lavender.

 

Lin Mucí’s tense nerves slowly relaxed.

 

【So comfortable…】

 

The starry sky overhead remained dazzling.

 

Soothing music flowed by his ears.

 

The person he cherished was right beside him.
