After Transmigrating, I Saved the Saintly Male Lead

Part 1
Ji Anche's back tensed up, feeling the warm breath on the side of his neck.
The muscles in his waist and abdomen tightened, and the ears exposed outside the blanket flushed a light red.
He had never been so close to anyone before, maybe it was just temporary discomfort.
He would get used to it.
Ji Anche tried hard to comfort himself.
The words of self-comfort didn't seem to have much effect. Ji Anche's butterfly-like shoulder blades trembled slightly.
He curled up his body, his spine arching in a slight curve.
"Gege, why are you shivering?"
Gu Hanzhou's voice carried a gentle smile. His eyebrows and eyes held a mischievousness that didn't match his gentle voice.
Ji Anche: "..."
He wanted to know too.
Ji Anche closed his eyes tightly, softened his breathing, pretending to be asleep, not hearing Gu Hanzhou's question.
A joyful smile spread across Gu Hanzhou's eyes.
"Gege has been shivering, is it because you feel too cold?"
Ji Anche silently retorted in his heart: No, I'm not cold.
"Then I'll hold you tighter."
Gu Hanzhou opened his arms, grasped his waist, and pulled him into his embrace.
"In case you accidentally catch a cold, gege might have a fever tomorrow."
Gu Hanzhou held the young man in his arms tightly, sighing softly.
"I don't want gege to have a fever."
Ji Anche felt the warmth coming from his back, and the breath falling on the side of his neck, the scalding breath falling on his fair skin, arousing a shiver. He uncomfortably shrank his neck, his body feeling hotter and hotter.
This couldn't continue.
Ji Anche turned around, stretching his body as if sleepwalking, wanting to take the opportunity to push Gu Hanzhou away with his hand.
He wanted Gu Hanzhou to stay away from him, not to be so close.
Ji Anche had just turned around, not yet having time to reach out his hand.
Then he heard Gu Hanzhou's gentle and lingering voice, "Gege is indeed very afraid of the cold."
"Gege turned around because it was too cold, so you wanted to hug me to sleep?"
"I will definitely take good care of gege and won't let gege catch a cold."
Gu Hanzhou's voice was obedient and gentle, sounding completely like a good younger brother who was thinking of his older brother.
Gu Hanzhou leaned over and hugged him again.
Because it was a face-to-face hug, this position was even more intimate than before.
The tip of his nose touched the young man's chest, and his breath was filled with Gu Hanzhou's clear and cool scent.
Ji Anche wanted to cry but had no tears.
Thank you.
He really wasn't cold.
Not only was he not cold, but he was actually very hot.
So hot that even the back of Ji Anche's neck began to sweat.
Ji Anche tried to struggle, but the male lead's arms were like iron hoops, allowing him to sleep comfortably, but completely impossible to escape.
His heart was so tired.
Helpless, Ji Anche had no choice but to give up.
He closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep quickly, not wanting to overthink things anymore.
His cheek touched comfortable fabric. Gu Hanzhou had probably just finished showering, and there was still the scent of shower gel on him, which smelled very pleasant.
A warm and comfortable environment easily bred drowsiness.
He didn't know how long had passed, but Ji Anche's consciousness dissipated boundlessly, gradually falling into a deep sleep.
The summer night moon was cool as water.
Silvery light filled the tiled floor, spilling onto the bed.
Gu Hanzhou held the young man in his arms, his gaze filled with tenderness and affection.
His heart was filled with an emotion called liking.
It was like boiling lemon-flavored sparkling water, the sweet and sour bulging bubbles overflowing from the cup.
The breathing of the young man in his arms was long and gentle.
Gege was asleep.
Gu Hanzhou lowered his head, gazing at the young man's peaceful sleeping face.
As if possessed, he leaned over and gently kissed the corner of the young man's lips.
He only dared to vaguely test the edge of his lips, hiding a careful liking.
Indistinct and fleeting, a touch and then separation.

The next day.
The morning light spilled into the ward.
Ji Anche opened his sleepy eyes, rubbing them tiredly.
Last night the bed was so crowded, yet he had slept quite comfortably.
Suddenly he felt a little itchy on his neck.
Ji Anche reached out to scratch it, but it became even itchier.
Perhaps his movements had woken Gu Hanzhou.
Gu Hanzhou lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes filled with a smile.
"Gege, you're awake."
Gu Hanzhou leaned closer to him, kissed his cheek, and smiled with his eyes curved.
"Good morning."
Ji Anche's body stiffened, his face gradually flushing red.
He tried his best to greet him casually, "Good morning."
Gu Hanzhou paused, then asked softly, "Doesn't gege want to kiss me?"
Ji Anche was confused, "What?"
Gu Hanzhou smiled brightly, "A good morning kiss."
"Oh."
Ji Anche had just woken up, his mind still hazy and unable to react.
"Okay... okay."
Ji Anche leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Only after kissing him did Ji Anche realize the problem.
Why had things already progressed to good morning kisses?
This was not right.
Gu Hanzhou's tone was light and cheerful, tinged with threads of joy.
"Gege is the first person to give me a good morning kiss."
"Mom never hugged me, let alone kissed me."
Gu Hanzhou's voice was very soft, as if it would break at any moment.
"She seems to dislike me very much."
Thinking of what Yi Xueran had done to the male lead, Ji Anche's heart felt a slight suffocation.
The male lead's childhood was filled with coldness and violence; he had never experienced normal family affection.
No wonder the male lead was so eager to be close to him; it was probably because no one had ever hugged him before.
He understood that everyone had a yearning for fatherly love, and the male lead was no exception.
As the male lead's father, he naturally had to make up for the affection the male lead had lacked, and move him with fervent fatherly love.
Ji Anche propped himself up and sat up, leaning over to hug Gu Hanzhou's neck.
He closed the distance between them, his amber eyes gazing earnestly at Gu Hanzhou.
Ji Anche said seriously, "I will make it up to you."
Make up for the fatherly love you lacked.
Gu Hanzhou looked bewildered, "Make up for what?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly pushed him down onto the bed.
Caught off guard, Gu Hanzhou fell onto the mattress. His pupils shrank, and his Adam's apple slid dryly.
"Gege, what are you doing?"
Ji Anche curled the corner of his lips, "Letting you experience fervent fatherly love."
Gu Hanzhou: "?"
A shadow fell, and Ji Anche leaned down.
A gentle kiss landed on the center of his forehead, "This is a good morning kiss."
Gu Hanzhou's heart beat faster.
Feeling the soft touch on his forehead, Gu Hanzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and his fingertips reached behind the young man, embracing his waist. The skin at the slender waist was smooth and delicate, with an excellent touch.
Immediately after, a kiss landed beside his eye.
Gu Hanzhou's obsidian eyes were filled with a watery light, staring straight at him.
Ji Anche's eyes crinkled with a smile, "A good noon kiss."
It seemed he was trying hard to make up for all the good morning, good noon, and good night kisses Gu Hanzhou had missed over the years.
Ji Anche saw a faint blush slowly appearing on the male lead's cheeks.
The male lead was already very good-looking, and when he blushed, he had an indescribable charm.
"Finally, it's time for a good night kiss."
Ji Anche's amber eyes held a scattering of starlight as he kissed Gu Hanzhou's chin.
Ji Anche kissed him too hard.
A 'pop' sound echoed in the quiet room.
Ji Anche's cheeks flushed slightly.
Thinking that all of this represented his heavy and great fatherly love, he immediately calmed down.
"From now on, I will be with you."
Papa will protect you.
Ji Anche's amber eyes were gentle, like honey coated in syrup, making one's heart melt. He promised.
"You will have many good morning kisses in the future."
Gu Hanzhou's heart trembled slightly, and he murmured, "Having gege is enough for me."
Cool fingertips gently slid across the young man's waist.
Gu Hanzhou lowered his eyes, thinking:
...Gege's waist is so slender.
