Gu Jiqing didn’t ask for the reason, nor did he speak. He just wrapped around him like a lazy puppet, reserved and seductive.
The vicious dog suddenly lost control.
Just like a wild beast wanting to swear its ownership, it gnaws wildly, greedily trying to leave only its own scent on its prey.
And the prey had no intention of struggling, he was just indulging this young wolf dog, who had rarely been ruthless, to take whatever it wanted.
The tide beats against the cliff walls, and the cold wind comes from afar.
Gu Jiqing was like a handful of waves that were carefully scooped up but were floating helplessly.
He began to regret whether he had chosen a wolf that was too young and ferocious or not.
·
“Is it too late for me to say I regret it now?”
Gu Jiqing sat astride Zhou Cibai’s legs, face-to-face, with his head resting tiredly on Zhou Cibai’s shoulder. He was covered in Zhou Cibai’s coat, almost completely wrapped up, and only two sections of snow-white calves could be vaguely seen from the hem.
Zhou Cibai felt a little guilty and embarrassed when he heard his hoarse voice, but he still hugged Gu Jiqing shamelessly tight and said in a muffled voice, “It’s too late. We already agreed, you have to be responsible for me.”
Gu Jiqing buried his head in his shoulder and chuckled.
Zhou Cibai’s ears instantly turned red, and he asked awkwardly, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing, I just found that you are cuter than I thought.” Gu Jiqing didn’t know whether it was right for him to lure such an upright and innocent person onto his pirate ship.
But Zhou Cibai’s ears turned even redder: “Anyway, you’ve said it yourself. You usually don’t make promises easily, and once you do, you’ll keep them.”
His memory is quite good.
It’s just that, why does this tone sound like a big dog afraid of being abandoned?
Gu Jiqing chuckled and said, “En, okay, I’ll keep my word and won’t cheat.”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhou Cibai whispered, “Then should we sign an agreement or something?”
What agreement?
Gu Jiqing raised his head and blinked.
His eyes were too innocent, and Zhou Cibai felt a little guilty, so he quickly avoided his gaze. “Since you said that we should avoid emotional and physical moral issues, shouldn’t we make it clearer? Otherwise, what if there are any misunderstandings?”
That’s also true.
Gu Jiqing felt that since he had already lured the good student onto the pirate ship, he should still follow the good student’s manners.
He said, “Okay, you can ask for anything you want.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Cibai wrapped him up like a silkworm in his coat, then lifted him up by the waist and put him aside. He then took out a laptop from the trunk.
Thinking of the scene where Zhou Cibai suddenly produced a box of condoms and a bottle of lubricant from the trunk, Gu Jiqing suddenly became curious about how much stuff was in Zhou Cibai’s suitcase, so he casually asked the question he hadn’t thought of asking just now. “But why are there those things in your car? Did you originally want to have a s*xual encounter at the beach?”
He is simply curious.
Zhou Cibai, who had just opened his laptop, immediately blushed and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t, I’m not. I just learned online last time that I must keep these things with me; otherwise, the recipient will feel extremely painful, and will be more likely to get sick directly inside the body…”
“So you’ve always wanted to do it with me?”
Gu Jiqing looked at him, blinked slightly, and asked the question without any ulterior motive.
Zhou Cibai: “……”
No!
How is it that the more he explains himself, the more he looks like a man with a head full of s*x?
“I didn’t think about it all the time… No, it’s not that I didn’t want it either, I just…” Zhou Cibai felt like he couldn’t understand anymore, so he decided not to say anything. He blushed and withdrew his gaze, typing on the agreement template while whispering, “Anyway, I never think of having s*xual encounter. After we establish our relationship, we can’t have an affair in the future either.”
After speaking, he typed the first line of the agreement conditions: [The first point: During the term of the agreement, Party A and Party B are prohibited from having emotional or physical relationships with others out of their obligation to be responsible for themselves and others]
However, Gu Jiqing did not refute this point and only said slowly, “Can I bring up the second point first?”
Zhou Cibai didn’t even think about it and said, “Of course, actually, whatever you say is what it is.”
So Gu Jiqing said, “The relationship must occur when both parties are willing, and Party B, Zhou Cibai, needs to control the number of times within a reasonable range, such as not exceeding once a week and not exceeding two hours each time.”
Gu Jiqing was very calm when he said this.
Zhou Cibai turned his head in shock.
Gu Jiqing explained seriously, “Your physical strength is too strong, and I’m afraid my body won’t be able to handle it, so I think it’s better to restrain it.”
“……”
Zhou Cibai looked at Gu Jiqing like a pitiful little dog that couldn’t eat enough meat.
Gu Jiqing remained calm and unwavering.
Zhou Cibai reluctantly withdrew his gaze and whispered, “Then I have to make the third request.”
Gu Jiqing thinks it’s very reasonable.
Zhou Cibai said, “You have to move to my house.”
Gu Jiqing turned his head to look at Zhou Cibai.
Zhou Cibai defends without confidence, “Otherwise, you are so beautiful, so many people like you, and you have to take Zhou Zhou out every day too. I am not at ease.”
He felt that this request seemed a bit unreasonable.
But fortunately, Gu Jiqing felt it was reasonable.
Zhou Cibai is such a clean person, he must also want him to be cleaned as well, so he replied, “Okay, but I have to pay your rent normally every month.”
“En, let’s talk about it later.” Zhou Cibai responded vaguely.
Then he wrote the fourth point: [If a third party attempts to improperly harass or pursue, both parties have the right and obligation to clearly stop it if the relationship has not been terminated]
Gu Jiqing: “……”
It seems a little weird, but it also makes sense.
Zhou Cibai continued to write the fifth point: [Party B, Zhou Cibai, must raise Party A’s only child, Gu Zhou Zhou, together with Party A during the continuation of the relationship. Party B is required to treat Gu Zhou Zhou as his own child, clean up the dog’s poop, and walk the dog every day. If necessary, Party B must also interact with Gu Zhou Zhou together with Party A.]
Point six: [Party B, Zhou Cibai, must perform cleaning, washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning up afterward in the common residence of the two during the continuation of the relationship, and Party A must give necessary rewards at an appropriate time]
Gu Jiqing pointed to the word ‘reward’ and said, “What is this?”
Zhou Cibai blushed and spoke shamelessly, “For example, one more time.”
“……”
Gu Jiqing, who originally thought the fifth and sixth points of Zhou Cibai were somewhat inexplicable, paused slightly upon hearing this answer and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Zhou Cibai hurriedly covered his mouth and said, “Don’t laugh. This is an agreement and a very serious matter. Once you sign it, you must keep your promises. Don’t laugh anymore.”
Gu Jiqing looked at him being so embarrassed that his ears were as red as blood and he couldn’t bear to tease him anymore, so he stopped laughing and said softly, “Okay, do you have any other requirements?”
“No more.” Zhou Cibai retracted his gaze and finally signed the agreement as Party A and Party B, then asked, “What if we fall in love with each other during this period of time?”
He tried to ask casually, as if it were just a sudden assumption.
Gu Jiqing didn’t seem to take it seriously. He just wrapped himself in Zhou Cibai’s coat, leaned his head against the car window, and whispered, “Then we will end our relationship.”
Zhou Cibai felt a chill on his fingertips and turned his head.
Gu Jiqing met his gaze, his voice soft and calm: “Because then we can no longer be friends.”
Zhou Cibai tried hard to control his voice and make his question sound casual, “Why?”
Gu Jiqing leaned against the car window and said, “I like being with you because I feel very relaxed in front of you, but being liked by someone is very tiring, and it’s also very tiring to return the other person’s love.”
Just like the love he felt from Yin Lan when he was very young, it was Yin Lan who was reluctant to eat or wear day and night, giving him all her youth, money, and love, and even giving him the love of her lifetime marriage.
Because he had received such love before, he couldn’t help but love Yin Lan, but repaying Yin Lan’s love was too tiring for him in this lifetime.
For example, the Gu family had been kind to him and provided him with a comfortable life, so he should not have any complaints.
But in order to repay this favor, he almost forgot what it was like to be coquettish and willful.
So love itself is something that makes people tired. There will always be people who give and sacrifice, and in the end, it becomes a mess that cannot be explained.
Unlike desire, it is often just the most instinctive desire at that moment.
Then just satisfy your desire at this moment.
As for the rest, he doesn’t want it, and he doesn’t want to give it.
Gu Jiqing tilted his head and looked out the window.
“Many people have said they like me before. They said I’m pretty and that being nice to them makes them feel comfortable and happy. But what they said are just survival skills I’ve learned since I was a kid.”
“In fact, I also lose my temper, and I don’t like washing dishes or doing housework. I like to sleep in, watch mindless cartoons and horror movies, and don’t like trouble. When I see them liking me, I just think about how to solve the problem conveniently.”
“So, Zhou Cibai, don’t like me, because I’m not worth it.”
Gu Jiqing’s voice sounded lonely and distant on the quiet seaside at night.
Then he turned around and gave Zhou Cibai a faint smile: “Maybe my only real advantage is that I’m good-looking, but for something like good-looking, it’s enough to just stop at the point where your heart was moved.”
He was indeed beautiful enough, just casually wrapped in another man’s coat, leaning against the car window, letting the cold moonlight from the seaside fall on his red mole. With a faint smile, he was beautiful enough to make Zhou Cibai’s heart beat wildly.
So Zhou Cibai understood that many people might simply like Gu Jiqing’s appearance.
“But what if someone just likes to wash dishes and do housework, likes to sleep in with you, likes to watch cartoons and horror movies with you, likes to see you lose your temper, and likes the real you. They just likes you, without asking for anything from you and also don’t want you to return anything, they just simply like you?”
Zhou Cibai wanted to take out his heart and show it to Gu Jiqing.
Gu Jiqing just lazily shrank back into his coat: “Then we’ll talk about it when it comes.”
Gu Jiqing really didn’t believe that there was such a person.
It’s all that damn Gu family’s fault.
Zhou Cibai couldn’t curse his future mother-in-law, so he could only curse at the Gu family.
If Gu Jiqing had not been taught from childhood to be grateful, to give back, to sacrifice himself to care about other people’s feelings, to compromise, and to be a likable child, how could he not believe that there is healthy love in this world?
A healthy enough love will bring joy, relaxation, happiness, and satisfaction to all of each other’s receiving and giving. He believes he can bring such love to Gu Jiqing.
But what he said now is meaningless because the time he met Gu Jiqing was too short for him to prove to Gu Jiqing that this kind of love really exists.
But it doesn’t mean he will give up.
Just like when he was taking Zhou Zhou out for a walk today, he met the little boy selling fairy wands. There was a little cat that ignored everyone and would even slap and blow at Zhou Zhou, but was particularly attached to that little boy.
That little boy told him that it was because the cat was an abandoned cat. It used to be very vigilant and would often scratch him with its teeth bared. He could only use chicken sausage to force it back home and then coax it with good food and drink every day. After a long time, the kitten knew that it was loved, and it stuck to him quietly every day.
So Zhou Cibai felt that what he had to do now was take Gu Jiqing back home.
Let him live with him every day and treat him very well, so well that one day the little cat suddenly realized that he was just a lazy little cat and that some people could love and like him, and then become a cat with a heart.
Zhou Cibai believes that he can definitely do it, because from his grandfather to his father to his brother, it has been proven that as long as he likes and is shameless enough, there is no wife who cannot be abducted home.
Yes, that’s it.
Zhou Cibai added a lot of fuel to his heart and breathed a sigh of anger.
Then, before signing the contract, the seventh point was quickly added: [During the existence of the relationship, Party A shall always believe that no matter what he does, Party B will not be unhappy (except for things that violate the first point)]
After typing, he connected the touchscreen keyboard and handed it to Gu Jiqing. “Sign.”
Gu Jiqing took the computer, finished reading the agreement, and raised his eyebrows in confusion. “Don’t you feel like you’re at a loss?”
Of course not.
Chasing a boyfriend is a bloody, money-making business.
However, Zhou Cibai couldn’t reveal it yet, so he just remained calm and said, “I’m taller, I should have been at a disadvantage.”
Gu Jiqing suddenly felt as if he had indeed taken advantage of him.
But there’s something wrong with it.
But he seemed to have gotten used to being too lazy to think so much in front of Zhou Cibai, so he sat up and signed his name seriously.
After signing, Zhou Cibai immediately took back his computer and did not give Gu Jiqing any time to react or retract. He asked, “Do you want to make a New Year’s wish?”
“Can we also make wishes for the Gregorian New Year?”
Gu Jiqing has never heard of such a statement before.
Zhou Cibai said as he put on the pants and socks for him. “Yes, I heard from my grandmother. My grandfather used to work in the navy, so every year during the New Year, she would make a wish at the beach in front of the first ray of sunshine so that my grandfather could come back safely and be with her for a lifetime. Later, everything worked, so do you want to make it?”
Zhou Cibai looked up at Gu Jiqing.
Gu Jiqing has been a staunch materialist since he was a child. He does not believe in gods, ghosts, or any worldly wishes.
But when he saw Zhou Cibai’s clean, serious, and beautiful eyes, he wanted to believe Zhou Cibai, so he said, “Then let’s tell Xia Qiao and the others that we are going to watch the sunrise today and not go back.”
Then he saw the first ray of sunshine of the New Year in Zhou Cibai’s eyes, so bright and warm, enough to illuminate the entire night, like a big dog that was suddenly fed a bone.
“Then I’ll go set it up.”
After Zhou Cibai finished speaking, he excitedly opened the car door and got out.
Gu Jiqing leaned over the car window and looked back, just in time to see Zhou Cibai take out a simple tent, a blanket, a simple stove, a lighter, and a small bucket from the magical trunk.
Then, ten minutes later, he set up a simple and warm nest on the cliff by the sea, opened the car door, and carried Gu Jiqing, whose legs were so sore that he could hardly walk, over with his coat.
The sturdy tent blocked most of the fishy seaside wind, and the orange-yellow firelight took away the chill outside. The two people huddled together, wrapped tightly in the same blanket. Zhou Cibai stretched out his arms and lit one firework stick after another on the stove for him to see.
And his phone was also turned off by Zhou Cibai and left in the car, completely isolating the greetings of his exhausted family from this warm little world.
Gu Jiqing leaned against Zhou Cibai and allowed him to tightly embrace his waist, placing his head on his shoulder.
He looked at the bright and warm flames in front of him and thought to himself. It turned out that he could also have his own fireworks stick without sharing it with others.
He smelled the familiar scent that reassured him and unconsciously closed his eyes to the warm body temperature.
The first ray of light finally appeared on the horizon.
Zhou Cibai turned his head to look at him and found that he was so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes. He then asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to make a wish for you?”
Gu Jiqing closed his eyes and responded vaguely.
“Then I will help you make a wish. I hope that in the new year there will be someone who loves you very much.”
Gu Jiqing tightened the blanket and pressed closer to Zhou Cibai. “What about you?”
His voice was so soft that it sounded like he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
Why does he likes sleeping next to him this much?
Zhou Cibai looked at him for a long time before whispering, “My wish is that you can fall in love with the person who loves you very much. If you don’t answer, I will take it as your consent.”
The only thing that answered him was the peaceful and tranquil sleeping face in the dim morning light.
Zhou Cibai looked at the face that seemed a little gullible when he was asleep, chuckled, then turned to look at the rising sun on the beach.
This is a new year, and everything will get better for him and Gu Jiqing.
