With a sudden confession about his sexual orientation and pain in his ankle, Gu Jiqing finally regained his senses.
After his original somewhat lax and bewildered vision slowly focused, he happened to see the obvious bulge.
Gu Jiqing paused slightly.
He didn’t think much about it, after all, it was considered early morning, and it was normal for boys that age to have a little reaction at this time of the day.
However, the bulge can be seen through the quilt, indicating that the physical conditions are indeed superior. No wonder those bottoms knew that he had homophobia and still rushed to confess their feelings one after another.
It is indeed considered a heavenly dish in gay circles.
Sadly, it’s not his orientation preference.
From Zhou Cibai’s expression and tone, as well as his grip on his ankle, Gu Jiqing can briefly determine that the other party had misunderstood something.
After a brief deliberation, he politely and gently explained, “I’m sorry, my previous bed was the same as yours now. It’s my first day moving in, and I’m not used to it yet. I went the wrong way, but I have no other intention. Don’t worry.”
No other intention again?
He said he doesn’t have any other intention when he said he wants to bend him, and now he climbed onto the wrong bed without wearing any pants in the early morning and still said that there’s no other intention. So how exactly does that have no other intention?
Zhou Cibai couldn’t accept himself having a reaction to a man. The grip on his ankle didn’t loosen, and his expression remained unfriendly.
Also, this kind of baseless argument is not very convincing.
Gu Jiqing felt that the responsibility for this matter still lay mainly with himself, and his tone was somewhat serious: “You do have a lot of charisma, and I do like the same-sex as well. However, I prefer a gentle and steady older man, so you don’t have to worry about me pursuing or harassing you.”
Gu Jiqing has a quality that makes people believe in him easily, especially when those dark and penetrating eyes focus on you. It just makes people think that whatever he says must be right.
And for the two adults, such words have already made it direct and clear enough.
But Zhou Cibai didn’t look much better, like he still wasn’t very happy after hearing those words.
Gu Jiqing thought he still didn’t quite believe it, so in order to make his explanation sound more authentic and credible, he thought for a moment and added, “I don’t like guys who are too similar to large dogs.”
Large dogs?
What does it mean?
Zhou Cibai was thinking about something else, but when he heard these words, he frowned slightly.
Gu Jiqing explained seriously, “Because I’m afraid of pain.”
Afraid of pain?
Could it be that Gu Jiqing had some kind of childhood experience with domestic violence, so it cast a shadow over men who were too big for their body size and too disparate in strength?
Zhou Cibai couldn’t understand for a moment, and he frowned even deeper.
Then a gust of strong wind blew through, breaking open the unguarded balcony door. A cold stream poured into the room, plucking up Gu Jiqing’s hem and revealing the extremely thin waist that was originally hidden, as if it would break when you held it.
And then the clothesline on the balcony also shook violently, the black men’s underwear that had just been washed last night fell to the ground with a loud “pa” from the hanger.
Therefore, he, Gu Jiqing.
Large size, thin waist.
Large shape, afraid of pain.
F*ck!
Ten minutes later, in Zijing Apartment 1, Building 314, there was another “bang” sound of a door slamming.
.
“F*ck! Gu Gu, did you really tell him that?!”
In the cafeteria, Xia Qiao listened to Gu Jiqing tell the whole story, held a fork, and stomped his feet continuously. The whole person was filled with excitement and thrill.
Gu Jiqing rolled up the pasta on his plate and answered calmly, “En, it’s better to be straightforward about some things, and it’s better to make up lies than to just tell the truth.”
“But you’re being a little too direct with the truth ba!” Xia Qiao said so, but his eyes could not hide the gossip light. “So, what was his reaction after you finished speaking?”
“There was no reaction, he just said it’s best like this. In the future, everyone should pay attention to maintaining moderation, well water does not intrude into river water1井水不犯河水 or Jǐng Shuǐ Bù Fàn Hé Shuǐ is an idiom meant each one minds his own business.and just be strangers under the same roof.”
And then he just ran away.
After thinking about what he had said, Zhou Cibai’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment and anger. The veins on his neck burst, and he had to try to control his emotions and try to talk to himself calmly. As a result, he ended up wrapping himself up in his jacket and rushing out of the door.
Gu Jiqing felt like he was bullying people.
Xia Qiao snorted lightly and said, “He can just say it like that for now. After two months, I’ll see if he slaps his face or not.”
He has been best friends with Gu Jiqing since middle school, so he has blind confidence in Gu Jiqing’s charm.
In his perception, anyone who has been in contact with Gu Jiqing for more than ten days, regardless of gender, as long as the other person’s three senses are good, there can be no one who doesn’t like Gu Jiqing, even homophobic straight men are no exception.
Thinking of this, Xia Qiao suddenly leaned closer to his head and blinked at Gu Jiqing. “But you really don’t have any interest in Zhou Cibai?”
“En.” Gu Jiqing didn’t hesitate. “What’s wrong?”
Upon hearing his straightforward answer, Xia Qiao let out a disappointed “tsk” and said, “What a pity.”
Gu Jiqing stopped rolling his pasta and looked up at him.
Xia Qiao quickly gestured with beaming expression, “Look, just his physique, his appearance, his family background, and the fact that he has had no scandals for a whole year in college, isn’t that 10,000 times better than that crooked dog He Changzhi? If it weren’t for homophobia, he would be our gay community’s favorite dish, and do you know how many little 0 are heartbroken for him day and night? So if you could win him over, it would definitely be the lifelong pride of us Tsinghua queers!”
After listening to this long speech, the Tsinghua gay lifelong pride reserve officer just lowered his head and continued to roll up his pasta, then lightly said eight words: “If straight men are bent, lightning will strike.”
“……”
There’s a brief silence.
“You’re right.”
“Let’s eat first.” Xia Qiao saw that Gu Jiqing was not really interested, so he lost his interest in gossip as well. He lowered his head and dug for food while pushing a pink insulation bucket to Gu Jiqing. “I still have to go back to catch up with my sketching homework later. Can you help me feed Shen Laoda?”
The Shen Laoda mentioned by Xia Qiao is Shen Zhao, a senior student who used to be in Nanwu Shiwai.
In middle school, Gu Jiqing and Xia Qiao were both delicate and thin, with a somewhat girlish appearance. They had been bullied by boys for a period of time, and it was only through Shen Zhao’s leadership that they gradually improved.
Later on, even though he found out that Gu Jiqing and Xia Qiao both liked boys, Shen Zhao, a straight man, didn’t care and still protected them often.
Later on, they all went to Shiwai High School and were successfully admitted to Tsinghua University. Their relationship remained very good.
Xiao Qiao, in particular, was the most clingy to Shen Zhao, helping him make love bento and feeding snacks were common occurrences.
It’s rare that he can’t go in person because he has something to do. It happened to be the weekend, and Gu Jiqing didn’t have anything to do either, so he casually agreed.
And as he walked to the entrance of the basketball court while carrying Xia Qiao’s pink love-insulated pot, he heard Shen Zhao gasping for breath from exhaustion.
“I can’t anymore, Xiao Zhou, who’s going to play with you if you play like this? Every time you attack, it’s like you’re fighting for your life. If I don’t rest for a while, my old life will be gone.”
Although Shen Zhao may not be considered one of the top outstanding types in terms of physique, but he was still over 1.8-meters tall. His physical condition and athletic ability are definitely not bad. Being able to push Shen Zhao into this position, there is one person that comes into Gu Jiqing’s mind.
As soon as he lifted his eyes, he did indeed see Zhou Cibai.
It should be that a round of attacks has just been organized, other people on the court either collapsed on the ground or supported their legs while panting heavily. Only Zhou Cibai was still patting the ball to his end with a poker face. When he reached the midline, he casually lifted it.
Three points, a perfect hit.
“Sh*t, Senior Zhou, you’re really not human.” Gu Jiqing also knows the boy who spoke. He was a former junior from Shiwai, named Chen Yubai.
He remembers that he used to be a member of the school basketball team, but now he can’t help but gasp for breath. “No, senior, your playing style today is too scary ba. Did you get any stimulation somewhere? But there’s no way you should joke about our lives ah.”
Zhou Cibai did indeed feel restless all over, which he couldn’t release, but he didn’t want to vent his anger on the basketball team. Seeing everyone like this, he took the opportunity to collect the ball and said, “Okay, let’s take a break for a while and continue in an hour.”
After speaking, he picked up the towel by the basketball court and prepared to wipe his sweat.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door, holding a thermos bucket, looking in his direction lazily.
Zhou Cibai’s face instantly stiffened.
Only in the morning did he say that he would keep his distance in the future, and at noon, he chased all the way down to the basketball court to deliver food. Does Gu Jiqing have any sense of propriety or not?
His face was cold, and he was just about to speak when he heard a joyful cry coming from behind: “Gu Gu, why did you come?”
And Gu Jiqing’s gaze had already shifted away from him, rushing towards Shen Zhao, who was walking towards him quickly, revealing a smile that was unusually gentle in Zhou Cubai’s eyes: “Bringing you food.”
He almost blurted out the phrase “I don’t need anyone to deliver food”: “……”
Three seconds later, he coldly turned around.
He originally didn’t need anyone to deliver him food.
It was not given to him, so naturally, it was great.
But what is with this Gu Gu name?
Zhou Cibai listened to this address, which obviously carried affection, and that uncomfortable feeling was inexplicably clogging up again. He picked up the ball and returned to the half-court, becoming even more restless with each attack.
The basketballs slammed into the ground one at a time, intermittently accompanied by the sound of the basket shaking violently from the impact, indicating the endless release of hormones and energy by young male creatures.
Sweat flowed down his perfectly defined muscle lines, and the young man’s sharp, furrowed eyebrows and eyes became increasingly aggressive.
If it was someone else, Gu Jiqing would habitually persuade them to rest and then ask if they needed water or other things to replenish their energy.
But now he was just thinking and dispelling the idea.
Since Zhou Cibai has clearly shown a tendency towards homophobia, he should maintain a distance and not add misunderstandings and troubles to the other party.
So Gu Jiqing just followed Shen Zhao and chose a clean spot by the basketball court to sit down.
Shen Zhao was eating the love bento made by Xia Qiao while asking, “Gu Gu, have you solved the matter with He Changzhi? Do you need any more help?”
“No need, I’ve changed my dormitory already.” Gu Jiqing replied casually, trying to pass it off.
Shen Zhao frowned and lifted his head upon hearing the words, “You changed your dormitory? Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter? Can you move so many things? And what if your new roommates see that no one is helping you to move the dormitory and think that there’s no one to back you up? What would you do if they bullied you?”
Shen Zhao is called Shen Laoda because he is the oldest among the three and loves to worry.
Gu Jiqing chuckled helplessly and said, “Brother, at least I am also an adult male, it’s not so bad.”
“Can that be the same? You just look like you want to get bullied. You must tell me or Xia Qiao if you have anything next time.”
Shen Zhao has been protecting Gu Jiqing like his younger brother since middle school. Originally, he was still holding back his anger about the matter with He Changzhi because he couldn’t teach the other side a lesson. Now that he heard that Gu Jiqing had secretly moved into a new dormitory, his expression became more stern.
Gu Jiqing knew he loved to worry and smiled, “Okay.”
And Zhou Cibai, who had just finished shooting a ball, saw this scene when he turned around.
One exuded the dignity and concern of an elderly person, while the other lowered his head and smiled obediently and gently, even the originally bright and pressing red mole at the corner of his eye softened.
Then Zhou Cibai inexplicably remembered the sentence Gu Jiqing had said, “I prefer the gentle and steady older men.”
Gentle—Shen Zhao is from the Finance Department and looks quite handsome. Wearing a suit, he should look like a gentle scum.
Steady, Zhou Cibai doesn’t have much contact with the other party, but in his impression, he is indeed a relatively stable person.
Older……
Just two years older than himself, one year older than Gu Jiqing. How does that count as older?
And what’s with this person, Gu Jiqing? How can he show that kind of smile to everyone?
Zhou Cibai didn’t know where today’s anger came from, but he was feeling uncomfortable all over. He took three quick steps to run, jumped up, and took a violent dunk full of venting.
The basketball landed, and Zhou Cibai returned to the half-court with the ball in his hands.
But who Gu Jiqing likes to smile at has nothing to do with him.
Anyway, he and Gu Jiqing have already made it clear that in the future, the distance between the two people should be as far as possible, and they should not touch each other if possible. Don’t disturb anyone, don’t cause trouble to anyone, and just be strangers under the same roof.
With that in mind, Zhou Cibai made another swift run, ready to jump, and then a particularly distressed question came from beside him: “Gu Gu! Which stinky thug grabbed your ankle?! Look at these five finger marks, it’s all bruised!”
So vice captain Zhou, who has always been known for his athletic talent on the basketball team, made an incredible gesture, and there was a loud “click” sound. He twisted his foot heavily.
Five minutes later, the slow and leisurely voice of the team doctor rang out in the venue: “Who knows Zhou Cibai’s roommates? Can you notify them to come and pick him up? I have some precautions to explain.”
Meanwhile, his only roommate, who remained at school, slowly turned around when he heard the commotion.
Four eyes are facing each other.
The stinky thug who’s grabbed his ankle: “……”
He felt that maybe he’s destined to be Tai Sui2太岁 or Tài Suì here refers to a local tyrant or bully..
