Zhou Cibai felt like he was about to be suffocated to death.
He wanted Gu Jiqing, and Gu Jiqing also wanted him. As a result, he insisted on becoming a righteous gentleman, and Gu Jiqing wanted to fulfill his wish as a righteous gentleman.
They kiss halfway and he says that if he continues to kiss, he will want it, so he can’t kiss anymore.
Seriously saying that he did these things because of his heart’s desire, and then turning his head to express more seriously that, but because he wanted to respect him, they should continue to be ordinary friends.
Zhou Cibai doesn’t know if the stories his grandmother told him when he was a child about the demons seducing the scholars still exist, but if they do exist, those scholars must have been caught alive by the demons just like him.
But unfortunately, Gu Jiqing didn’t mean it. He was just honestly expressing his thoughts and sincerely respecting his feelings.
And he dares not rashly express his liking for Gu Jiqing.
Because what Gu Jiqing meant last night was very clear, he felt that maintaining a relationship was tiring, so he was not willing to start a stable romantic relationship.
Zhou Cibai is afraid that, with Gu Jiqing’s calm personality, if he knows that his emotions exceed the boundaries, he will directly cut him off completely.
He felt like he was about to explode, both mentally and physically.
He blurted out without even thinking: “Gu Jiqing, I’m not bothered. I felt good about the kiss just now. I even want to continue. Every time we were together before, I wanted it more than you did. You have to know that it was you who was drugged the first time, not me, so I don’t just want to be ordinary friends with you.”
His clumsy and urgent expression is an unexpected answer.
Gu Jiqing looked at the big boy in front of him, whose ears were red because of these words. He paused slightly and then asked in a warm voice, “So you also want it, right?”
Zhou Cibai paused.
The answer is self-evident.
Gu Jiqing was not surprised.
Because if one party is unwilling, they will not be so compatible in this regard.
However, Zhou Cibai’s eager explanation this time seemed to indicate that some moral standard in his heart was shaken.
Gu Jiqing originally felt a little regretful because Zhou Cibai was such a well-behaved child.
Because he really liked the feeling of being hugged tightly by Zhou Cibai every time, as if he were being hugged by a ball of fire, as if it could awaken some crazy perceptions that had been dormant and suppressed for too long in the winter.
That was the moment in his life when he felt that he could indulge himself.
But he also really likes Zhou Cibai’s pure, cute, and shy demeanor. He likes the feeling of not having to worry about anything and not being afraid of anything when they are together.
That was also one of the few moments in his life where he could relax.
So he doesn’t intend to make such a request voluntarily because he doesn’t want to disrupt the relationship between the two.
But since Zhou Cibai had the same idea as him, he felt that he might be able to push his luck a little further.
He thinks that Zhou Cibai, who has such a good temper, shouldn’t be angry.
So he asked softly, “Are you willing to establish a fixed relationship?”
Fixed relationship?
Zhou Cibai looked at Gu Jiqing, seemingly unresponsive.
Gu Jiqing tried to express his thoughts to this traditional and pure young man as gently as possible: “I am not very willing to establish a romantic relationship, and I have never had this need. But I feel good about these few relationships with you, and I like them very much. And I can feel that you feel the same way, so if you are willing to accept it, we can actually establish a fixed relationship and meet each other’s needs.”
“……”
Establishing a fixed relationship to satisfy each other’s needs?
Isn’t that a f*ck buddy?!
Zhou Cibai finally reacted, and his entire neck instantly turned red. Compared to the sense of shame and anger that was suggested to start this relationship, his mind was filled with more chaotic images that rushed up in an instant.
No, how could Gu Jiqing take the initiative to propose such a relationship? Isn’t he afraid of being taken advantage of by him? How could such a good thing happen to him?
No! How could he have such a dirty thought? He likes Gu Jiqing, not only because he wants his body!
Zhou Cibai was stunned by this sudden good thing, but the moral standards in his heart were still struggling, so for a moment he just stood there with a red face.
Gu Jiqing couldn’t help but lower his head and smile.
It was indeed Zhou Cibai.
Cute.
He was so cute that he couldn’t bear to tease him any more, so he just said gently, “If you are willing, during this relationship, we must promise not to have any emotional or physical relationship with others. Once such signs appear, we will stop in time, so you don’t have to worry about moral issues. If you don’t want to, it doesn’t matter. We can still be normal friends.”
Zhou Cibai hasn’t reacted yet.
Gu Jiqing’s cell phone is ringing.
He picked up the phone and heard Shen Zhao’s voice.
“Gu Gu, we’re all ready here, right at the entrance to Zhou Cibai’s neighborhood. Hurry up and pack up, or else you might get stuck in traffic and miss New Year’s Eve.”
“En, okay.” Gu Jiqing hung up the phone and said to Zhou Cibai, “Why don’t you think about this matter slowly? Let’s pack up and leave first.”
“Oh, okay.”
Zhou Cibai’s mind was blank. He could only understand what Gu Jiqing said. He quickly packed up his things, found a bunch of items that might be useful, took Zhou Zhou, and went out.
Zhou Zhou was very well behaved throughout the trip, and didn’t make any noise even when they fastened its seat belt.
“Zhou Zhou listens to you very much.” Xia Qiao came to visit Zhou Cibai’s car because he just had a quarrel and was angry with Shen Zhao. When he saw this scene, he felt extremely surprised. “When it first met Shen Zhao and me, it was very fierce and would not allow us to get close to Gu Gu. But speaking of this, Gu Gu, what are you going to do next semester? It’s not a good idea to keep Zhou Zhou with Pei Yiming all the time.”
Gu Jiqing fastened his seat belt and said casually, “I plan to rent a house outside next semester.”
Zhou Cibai, who had just stepped on the accelerator, heard this and slammed on the brakes. He looked at Gu Jiqing and asked, “Are you still going to rent a house outside?”
Gu Jiqing blinked in confusion, “Of course, otherwise, what should I do with Zhou Zhou?”
“……” Although he knew that Gu Jiqing’s reasons were very sufficient and necessary, Zhou Cibai still whispered unhappily, “Didn’t you say before that you would not move out?”
Hearing the grievance in Zhou Ci’s words, Gu Jiqing thought of the unlimited meal coupon for sweet and sour pork ribs and curled his lips slightly, “I won’t apply for a dormitory withdrawal. I will still live in the dormitory when I have more classes, and go to accompany Zhou Zhou when I have fewer classes.”
“Oh.”
Zhou Cibai felt a little better.
One of them was in the driver’s seat and the other in the passenger seat, talking to each other, which was no different from the coquettish comforting feelings of a young couple. Only Xia Qiao, who was holding Zhou Zhou in the back seat, felt that he should not be in the car but under the car.
However, each of these two looks like they should have had an early romance. How can they chat endlessly? His Gu Gu is a big beauty, naturally reserved, and noble. But what’s going on with this Zhou Cibai?
At this time, shouldn’t he say that Zhou Zhou will be kept at his house?!
Xia Qiao felt that even a ghost could see that Zhou Cibai liked Gu Jiqing, but why was he so disappointing?
In a hurry, he felt that his good friend had to step in, so he deliberately said, “Hey, Gu Gu, didn’t you say last time that Pei Yiming lives in an apartment near the school? Then why don’t you rent a house next to his?”
Gu Jiqing didn’t think much about it, “The one-bedroom apartment there is indeed suitable for me. I will see if there’s a suitable house later.”
Zhou Cibai’s throttle suddenly shook.
Xia Qiao pretended to be innocent and continued, “Hey, why don’t you just rent with Shen Zhao? Anyway, he’s currently renting a three-bedroom and one living room apartment, which is more than enough for you and Zhou Zhou to live in.”
Gu Jiqing thought about it and felt that it was not very convenient, but in order not to disappoint Xia Qiao’s kindness, he whispered, “En, let me think about it.”
Zhou Cibai almost crushed the steering wheel.
Xia Qiao was very satisfied and added the last spark: “However, it’s more convenient for you to live on your own. This way, if you encounter a handsome guy who makes you fall in love while walking your dog, you can also develop a romantic relationship!”
Gu Jiqing was used to Xia Qiao’s daily reminders of love. He closed his eyes and casually said, “En, what you said makes sense.”
Zhou Cibai’s breath suddenly rose to his chest.
It makes sense, but how can it make sense? Gu Jiqing is obviously attracted to him, so how can he be attracted to someone else while walking the dog?!
Zhou Cibai gripped the steering wheel tightly, almost feeling suffocated.
However, he was still driving, and Xia Qiao was sitting in the car. For safety reasons and considering Gu Jiqing’s situation, Zhou Cibai could only force himself to hold back the words he had in his mind.
Gu Jiqing beside him was already hugging his dog pillow, curled up in the seat, and fell asleep obediently.
It took less than a minute, and he looked relaxed and lazy, as if he had no worries at all.
Xia Qiao, who had been assisting for a long time, and Zhou Cibai, who was already as jealous as an old Shanxi aged vinegar, “……”
He’s really a heartless cat!
Gu Jiqing didn’t know what was going on. In the past, whenever he was sitting in the passenger seat, he would always help check the navigation and speak with the driver.
But these few times when he took Zhou Cibai’s car, he often fell asleep as soon as he sat on it, and when he woke up, they had already arrived at their destination. It was as if he was doing things purely on instinct, without thinking about anything else.
Fortunately, Zhou Cibai is indeed a very reliable man. When Shen Zhao didn’t know which national highway to drive his car on because of Lu Ping’s blind instructions, they arrived at the homestay on time.
Xia Qiao got out of the car and went to make a phone call angrily: “Shen Zhao! You are such an idiot! How could you take the wrong road? If you can’t make it in time for New Year’s Eve, I will be angry!”
Gu Jiqing was afraid that Zhou Cibai might misunderstand that Xia Qiao had a bad temper. While registering, he whispered, “Xia Qiao is usually very cute, he only likes to get angry in front of Shen Zhao.”
“I think it’s cute to lose your temper occasionally.” Zhou Cibai took the key and divided the only two rooms on the third floor for himself and Gu Jiqing.
Gu Jiqing lowered his head to fill in the information and did not notice Zhou Cibai’s little trick. He just responded, “Yeah, I also think Xia Qiao is quite cute when he loses his temper.”
“I don’t mean him.”
“?”
Gu Jiqing raised his head.
Zhou Cibai said, “I mean, you should be cute when you lose your temper.”
“……”
Gu Jiqing recalled the last time he lost his temper. It was probably when Shen Zhao and Xia Qiao were injured while trying to help him on the first day of the new year.
He was still young at that time, only twelve years old. He was wiping away tears while being angry. Xia Qiao hugged him and cried with him. As a result, Shen Zhao laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
That should be quite cute, right?
Gu Jiqing thought for a moment and said, “Anyway, Shen Zhao laughed quite hard at that time.”
Zhou Cibai immediately raised his eyes: “Have you ever lost your temper at him?”
Gu Jiqing didn’t think there was anything wrong, “Yeah, when I was very young.”
At that moment, Zhou Cibai felt aggrieved and sad, Gu Jiqing had never even lost his temper at him.
And Gu Jiqing might even move in with Shen Zhao.
Thinking of this, Zhou Cibai wished he could just take Gu Jiqing home, lock him up, and force him to lose his temper at him.
But what position does he have now to take Gu Jiqing home, hide him, and make him live with him?
He could only follow the proprietress dejectedly and take Zhou Zhou to the pet area.
Originally, Gu Jiqing wanted to go, but Zhou Cibai said that Zhou Zhou had not exercised today and he wanted to take it for a walk. It was too cold outside, so he didn’t let Gu Jiqing go.
If it were in the past, Gu Jiqing would definitely not agree to such a thing.
But seeing that Zhou Zhou was happily wanting Zhou Cibai to take him for a walk, Gu Jiqing felt that it was not impossible for him to be lazy.
He seemed to be taking advantage of Zhou Cibai’s kindness and bullying him.
But he can be a bad guy sometimes.
Gu Jiqing watched Zhou Zhou run away as soon as he got out of the door, but Zhou Cibai held the leash firmly, and Zhou Zhou had to be subdued immediately. Gu Jiqing smiled slightly as he thought of how he was often embarrassed by Zhou Zhou’s speed and energy.
Sure enough, naughty children still need a stricter parent.
A blond, blue-eyed British man, who was sitting in the living room of the homestay and drinking coffee leisurely, looked at this scene and asked in broken Chinese, “Are you lovers?”
Gu Jiqing turned around, paused for a moment, and then replied in a gentle voice, “No, he will have a better lover.”
After saying that, he politely gestured and returned to his room.
When he came out of the shower, he saw Zhou Cibai and Zhou Zhou coming back from the beach through the window.
Not sure which sweet-talking vendor Zhou Zhou met, but it was holding a small bucket in its mouth with great effort and not sure what little gadgets were in the bucket.
Thinking of the fact that Zhou Cibai spent five thousand yuan to buy a Christmas tree, Gu Jiqing began to wonder what other charity Zhou Cibai had done.
So he wiped his hair casually, wrapped himself in a loose coat, and went downstairs.
The floor heating in the homestay was well laid, and he was only wearing a white silk shirt and black trousers. He walked down from the third floor leisurely with his hands in his coat pockets.
His slender figure and fair neck were clearly revealed, and with his slightly damp hair, misty dark eyes, and that bright red mole, he looked indifferent, lazy, and cold, as if he didn’t care about anything.
A mysterious and cold oriental beauty.
The British man drinking coffee in the living room never looked away.
When Gu Jiqing walked down, he smiled gentlemanly and said, “You take my breath away.”
Gu Jiqing was used to the exaggerated praise and expressions of Westerners, but he still did not intend to have more conversations with this British man who was too purposeful, so he chose to reply in Chinese, “Thank you.”
He hoped this would make it clear that he had no desire to talk.
However, the British man was obviously more persistent than Gu Jiqing had imagined.
He leaned back on the sofa, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and crossed his legs elegantly to show off his strong chest muscles and excellent figure as a man, as well as his particularly handsome appearance under the light: “I saw your companion go out, so would you like to accompany me back to the room for a drink?”
The implication of having a drink between adult strangers is too obvious.
Gu Jiqing said, “Sorry, sir, I don’t have any idea in this regard.”
“Really?” The British man smiled vaguely, then stood up and walked up to Gu Jiqing, pointing down at his neck. “However, there are still traces here, but you don’t admit that you have a lover, so aren’t we the same kind of people?”
Gu Jiqing tilted his head and looked at the glass display window in the living room.
There was an obvious kiss mark with faint teeth marks under his neck.
Thinking of Zhou Cibai’s almost dog-like behavior in the locker room this afternoon, Gu Jiqing pulled up his collar calmly and said, “It’s a pity that we are not the same kind of people. I will only choose people who make my heart flutter.”
The British man had obviously never failed to catch his prey. He smiled conceitedly and said, “Can’t I make your heart flutter?”
Gu Jiqing suddenly realized that his heart would be fluttered by Zhou Cibai at certain moments. Perhaps it was not because of his good looks and good figure, but his clumsy, immature, yet serious and sincere reaction in every good atmosphere.
He was respected by Zhou Cibai.
Rather than just being seen as a pretty plaything.
Gu Jiqing imagined Zhou Cibai’s reaction after seeing the teeth mark on his neck, lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head, ready to express directly and impolitely that he didn’t like men who were too experienced.
However, before he could open his mouth, a white mass of lethal weapons suddenly jumped out in front of him, and with a “whoosh,” it viciously knocked the British man to the ground, scaring him so much that he lay on the ground and cursed in embarrassment, “F*ck!”
The next second, Zhou Cibai walked up to Gu Jiqing with a dark face and long legs, dragged him behind him, looked down at the man on the ground, and said coldly, “Why don’t you look in the mirror? How could you make his heart flutter?”
The British man looked up at the boy in front of him, who looked more than ten years younger than him but much taller, and actually felt a strong sense of oppression with extreme anger that made him a little afraid.
Like a wolf guarding its mate on the ice field.
But this handsome oriental man clearly said that they were not lovers. The British man felt confused and started to curse, “What’s it to you? You are not his boyfriend!”
“I am.”
The moment the low and cold voice fell, the British man, who was originally furious, and Gu Jiqing, who was about to defend Zhou Cibai, were both stunned.
I am？
What does it mean?
Before Gu Jiqing could react, Xia Qiao came back after making a phone call.
He looked at the situation in front of him and was about to ask what was wrong when Zhou Cibai said with a sullen face, “Please take care of Zhou Zhou.”
Then he took Gu Jiqing’s hand and walked out of the door of the homestay without looking back.
Gu Jiqing was grabbed by the wrist by him, and before he could recover from the word “I am,” he was stuffed into the passenger seat.
Zhou Cibai fastened his seat belt, closed the car door, then returned to the driver’s seat and stepped on the accelerator.
He kept a straight face and didn’t say a word, as if he were sulking.
The vehicle drove directly to the most remote place.
In the night, the waves were still violently hitting the coast. There were very few people on the beach where there was still snow. There was only the endless coastline, which kept sweeping away behind them.
Gu Jiqing didn’t know where Zhou Cibai was going to take him.
Zhou Cibai himself also doesn’t know.
He only knew that when he saw the British man inviting Gu Jiqing ambiguously and Gu Jiqing smiled at him, an intense jealousy, bitterness, anger, and paranoid possessiveness that had been pent up for a whole day made him unable to control his desire to take Gu Jiqing away from here.
He wanted to kiss and hug Gu Jiqing, he wanted to openly invite Gu Jiqing to bring Zhou Zhou to live in his house, and he wanted to confidently tell those men who coveted Gu Jiqing that Gu Jiqing could not have anything to do with them.
He was like a wild beast that had lost all reason. He just wanted to take back the thing he cared about the most, cherished the most, and treasured and hide it in the deepest cave, the most remote valley, so that the other party would be covered in only his scent.
Even if Gu Jiqing still didn’t like him, he still wanted to do this.
He originally thought that since he fell in love with Gu Jiqing at first sight when he was just beginning to fall in love and also fell in love with Gu Jiqing at first sight when he thought he liked a girl, he was certain that there would never be another person who would attract him as destined as Gu Jiqing, so he could afford to wait for Gu Jiqing.
He can wait for Gu Jiqing to slowly break through his ice shell, he can wait for Gu Jiqing to have the courage to like someone again, and he can also wait for Gu Jiqing to slowly rely on him, like him, fall in love with him, and never be able to leave him.
He could indeed wait.
But he forgot how charming the person he liked was. Just a simple smile was enough to attract the covetousness of those vicious dogs.
So he suddenly didn’t want to be a good guy anymore.
He just wants to be a selfish, unreasonable, and vicious dog.
Even if Gu Jiqing didn’t like him yet, he would take him back to his den and hide him, and then drive away all those vicious dogs and hungry wolves with a righteous attitude.
Then use a righteous stance to teach the heartless kitten, who runs away every time he is teased.
Otherwise, he will be killed by the demon sooner or later.
So when the car finally drove to a cliff with no way out, Zhou Cibai stepped on the brakes, got out of the driver’s seat, opened the passenger door, held Gu Jiqing’s waist and carried him down, then put him on the back seat, leaned over, and asked, “Gu Jiqing, what you said, as long as we confirm a fixed relationship, we will guarantee that we will not have emotional or physical relationships with others, is that true?”
He asked earnestly and seriously.
Gu Jiqing had never seen Zhou Cibai like this before.
He sat sideways in the back seat of the off-road vehicle, looking at Zhou Cibai, who was almost completely enveloped in front of him, and the lonely and surging night in the distance. He felt that some extremely powerful attack seemed to be breaking through the well-defined protective shell he had built for himself.
That’s a dangerous aura.
But just like those two crazy nights, even though he knew the danger, he was still fascinated by it.
He wanted to try to indulge himself once because he thought that no matter what, the young boy in front of him would use his steady arms to catch all his out-of-control situations.
He looked into Zhou Cibai’s extremely serious eyes and softly said, “Yes.”
Then the next second, he fell into the other party’s strong kiss, which was full of catharsis.
The clock struck twelve in the distance, the waves were surging, and the sea smelled salty. In a place where no one knew, they welcomed their first New Year with each other’s body temperature and unreserved kisses.
It wasn’t until a long time later that Zhou Cibai attached himself to his ear and whispered, “Then Gu Jiqing, I want to start from now on, okay?”
