it's dark, coax me

Gu Xiu quickly looked away and didn't continue to look at it.

Zhou Xing didn't notice Gu Xiu's embarrassment, and only asked, "Do you need help?"

Gu Xiu shook his head.

"Then I'll wait for you outside."

After Zhou Xing left, Gu Xiu was the only one left in the changing room.

He quickly changed his clothes, leaned on a cane, and walked out from the inside.

Worried about the slippery water, Zhou Xing reached out to support Gu Xiu.

At the beginning, Gu Xiu thought that the hot spring resort opened here, and that it should be a small place with a relatively rural style on the whole.

It wasn't until after walking inside that Gu Xiu realized that this place was different from what he had imagined.

The repairs here are relatively complete in all aspects, the floor area is not small, and the layout inside is also unique.

After the two people entered, they first saw a large stone road.

There are small light strips on both sides of the stone road. As the sky gets darker, these lights are all lit up, exuding a soft yellow light.

Several pavilions were built nearby, and tables and chairs were placed in the pavilions, and there were also lights for lighting.

The surrounding water vapor spread, making the scenery here look like a layer of soft gauze.

The lights at the bottom of the hot spring pools have also been turned on, and there is a faint blue light in several hot spring pools, which has a romantic feeling.

Qian Jing and the others came early and were already soaking in the pool at this time. After seeing Zhou Xing and Gu Xiu, they greeted them with a smile.

There was a gazebo next to the hot spring pool where they were, Zhou Xing helped Gu Xiu to sit in the gazebo, and asked the service staff to bring the drinks over.

Zhou Xing handed a cup of drink to Gu Xiu's hand, and put the other cup in front of himself.

Seeing the two of them like this, Qian Jing couldn't laugh or cry, "Brother Zhou, come down and hang out with us?"

Zhou Xing shook his head, as if he didn't want to go into the water.

Qian Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Zhou, he's injured, but you're not injured. It's fine if he doesn't come down, but why are you up there with him? Get down quickly."

Qian Jing looked at Gu Xiu while talking, and said, "If Gu Xiu wants to have a bath, we can actually join him. He sits on the steps here, puts his casted leg on the steps, and puts the other leg in the water." Soak in the bubbles, the temperature is right now, very comfortable, come and try.”

Gu Xiu became a little interested, and felt that the method Qian Jing said was feasible, so he drank two mouthfuls of fruit juice, stood up, and walked to the edge of the pool.

It's just that for someone like him with a leg covered in plaster, it's not easy to sit down like this.

If Gu Xiu wants to sit on the steps, it is equivalent to squatting down first. This position is too dangerous.

Zhou walked behind Gu Xiu and said, "I'll help you."

Gu Xiu responded.

Zhou Xing picked him up again, and then placed him sideways firmly on the steps by the pool.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Yan couldn't help whistling, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, your arm strength is good. If this is a little girl, you can just take her home."

Zhou Xing ignored his jokes, but squatted down and placed Gu Xiu's legs in plaster.

Gu Xiu looked at Zhou Xing who was kneeling in front of him, and felt for a moment that he was like a knight who swore allegiance.

After Zhou Xing adjusted Gu Xiu's posture, he put the slippers on one side for him.

Gu Xiu stared at Zhou Xing for a while, then suddenly called out, "Hello."

Zhou Xing raised his head, "Huh?"

Hearing Gu Xiu's name, Qian Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't want to be big or small, give us Brother Zhou some cards, didn't you hear that we are all called Brother Zhou?"

What Qian Jing said was purely joking, and he's not from the older generation. If it's okay, who would hold on to such a small matter...

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "It's all right."

Then he asked Gu Xiu, "What's wrong?"

For a while, Gu Xiu couldn't tell what he wanted to say to Zhou Xing just now, but now he only felt that his throat was a little dry and his heartbeat seemed to be a little fast.

He said subtly: "It's nothing, can you bring me the juice?"

Zhou Xing smiled good-naturedly, got up and brought him the juice, then took off his bathrobe, and followed into the pool.

After Zhou Xing got into the water, Qian Jing couldn't help but get straight to the point and said: "It's Zhang Hui's birthday in a few days, I'm going to surprise her on her birthday and propose to her directly, but I'm alone Big boss, I really don’t know what to do, give me some advice!”

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "You shouldn't have thought about how to do this, can the brothers help you with it?"

"No, the point is, this is not the first time I have proposed marriage, am I inexperienced?"

Meng Ze couldn't help laughing now, "That's right, look at everyone here, who has experience?"

All the people present here are unmarried. If it is true that they have no experience in marriage proposal, then all of them are really 0.

Zheng Yan continued: "Actually, this matter, you see that you and Zhang Hui have been dating for a long time, and the relationship has always been so good. If you propose to her, she will definitely agree. In fact, it is just a situation. What are you nervous about?"

Qian Jing couldn't help pushing him, "What are you talking about, it's something that happens once in a lifetime, and it must be handled properly!"

Zheng Yan laughed at the side, "Who said that this happens once in a lifetime, if you don't succeed this time, then you will have to suffer and continue to propose marriage?"

Qian Jing felt more and more that these buddies were unreliable to compete with each other, which made their teeth ache.

"Can't you hope that I will order it well, and hope that I will do it once?"

Qian Jing sighed deeply, feeling that he was not good at making friends. He looked in Gu Xiu's direction, and couldn't help but said, "Great writer, you have seen a lot, why don't you help me come up with ideas?"

Gu Xiu thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever paid attention to what kind of marriage proposal scenes she likes?"

Zheng Yan nodded, "That's right, we should do what we like about the marriage proposal."

Qian Jing wanted to give Zhang Hui a surprise, so of course he wouldn't ask her directly, otherwise there would be no surprise, and he usually has a big personality, so he really didn't pay attention to this aspect Condition.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Zhang Hui usually likes to watch Korean dramas, but Korean dramas are not always romantic. I think she likes them."

"Speaking of Korean dramas, aren't there a lot of scenes in Korean dramas where she confesses her marriage? Why don't you watch it again to see what kind of drama she likes, spy on the military in advance, and we'll be ready."

"You're right, I don't even know what Korean drama she's watching. It's so easy to find a scene for a marriage proposal... Besides, the time is not allowed..."

"It's not easy to spy on the military situation... Just say that Zhang Hui is so smart. If I ask her like this, she will know it. If you say she knows it, is this a surprise?"

"If people know about it, it will be a matter of course. Isn't that good?"

"I've said it's a surprise, can you guys get some clues!"

A few of them took pleasure in teasing Qian Jing, but they were joking, they still needed help when it comes to real important matters.

"Then do you have any specific ideas here?"

"If I want to have an idea, why don't I call you over to ask these questions? Isn't this waiting for you to give me an idea? Isn't your question going around in circles and back again?"

"Is the ring ready?"

"I've been looking at them recently, but I haven't decided which one to buy yet."

"Buy expensive, show sincerity."

"Well, it makes sense."

"Rose is also a necessity, a marriage proposal without roses is soulless."

"I will definitely buy this one. If there are others, please continue."

Several people chattered a few more words after that, but Qian Jing felt unreliable after listening to it, and finally he turned his gaze back to Gu Xiu, "In this regard, you still Any suggestions?"

Gu Xiu thought of the plot in the novel he had read before, and said, "A marriage proposal can generally be divided into two aspects of preparation."

"One is the layout of the scene. A romantic scene is easier to establish an atmosphere. And you can make a whole video, record the scene of the marriage proposal, so that you can take it back and watch it at any time when you want to watch it in the future. It is more memorable. Meaning, if the scene layout looks better, it will look better when recorded.”

"The rest is the performance when proposing. You can also prepare what you want to say when you propose. It doesn't have to be beautiful. You can say something you really want to say. Sometimes simplicity can move people more."

Qian Jing smacked his tongue after hearing this, and said, "Have you seen it? This is a reliable one. Oh, you said that you are one by one, so you can't learn from others?"

Zheng Yan said with a smile: "With such experience, I must have been dating girls, have a girlfriend?"

"No." Gu Xiu subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xing and said, "I'm single."

After Gu Xiu said this, he remembered that he had already confessed to Zhou Xing that he was gay, but there was no need to explain that he didn't have a girlfriend.

After hearing this, Zheng Yan laughed and said, "It's unscientific that such a handsome guy is single."

Several people laughed and joked a few words, and the topic soon returned to the proposal itself.

Qian Jing thought for a while and said: "Zhang Hui is often at home recently, and this arrangement of the scene must not be chosen at home, otherwise she will definitely find out, and you know the situation in my house, I don't think it is very easy to arrange. How about I Book a room in the hotel and decorate it?"

"No matter how the hotel is arranged, it probably doesn't have much romantic atmosphere, right?"

"Are you planning to stay there that night or something? How about booking a love hotel?"

"Love hotel? This is not good..."

"I also think that if you want to pursue atmosphere, why don't you find a homestay?"

"B&B is fine. It's more romantic. Why don't you just book a seaside B&B and confess your love at the beach, facing the sea, listening to the waves, talking about love, tsk..."

"This is not bad!"

"I think so too! But it's a three-hour drive from here to the beach, right? Isn't it a bit far? If you go there, you'll probably have to sleep there that night..."

Qian Jing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you all come with me when the time comes, and I'll cover room and board!"

Meng Ze smiled and said, "That's fine, we won't kill you either, just book two more rooms at that time, brother Zhou and Gu Xiu can live in one, and Zheng Yan and I will have one."

After hearing this, Gu Xiu subconsciously thought of the night when the two of them slept together last time, and then looked in Zhou Xing's direction.

After the venue was decided, several people began to chat about how to arrange it.

The few people present are all rough, not much aesthetic, and the ideas they come up with are mediocre.

Some said to hang garlands in the room, some said to pile up balloons, and a few people chatted wildly there.

Zhou Xing noticed Gu Xiu's gaze, followed to Gu Xiu's side, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Xiu shook his head.

Zhou Xing was lying on the edge of the pool like this, his upper body was naked, and his entire lower body was floating in the water, just like the legendary mermaid.

At this time, Gu Xiu was sitting, taller than Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing had to raise his head to meet his gaze.

Gu Xiu looked down at Zhou Xing, and his hand subconsciously landed on Zhou Xing's shoulder.

Several people discussed there for a while without any results, Qian Jing wanted to call Gu Xiu for help again, but was caught off guard when he turned around and saw this scene.

Gu Xiu withdrew his hand for a moment, and continued casually: "You can prepare more roses and candles, which will make it easier to create a romantic atmosphere, and you can also hang some small colored lights in the room, so that you can enjoy it when the headlights are not turned on. Under the circumstances, the small lanterns can be used with candle lighting..."

"If you have a group photo, you can print it out and post it. In addition, you said that you plan to propose on her birthday, and you want to give her a big surprise. I think you can wish her a happy birthday first, and wait until she thinks everyone is just getting together. Propose to her when celebrating her birthday..."

The few people listened to Gu Xiu's words, and they were stunned for a while. Qian Jing patted his thigh and said: "Absolutely! You say this so that even an old man like me finds it romantic. It must be reliable, so just press it." You said it!"

"What did you just say you need to buy? Where is my phone? Oh, no, I have to take my phone and write it down..."

After several people soaked in the hot spring pool for a while, Qian Jing's stomach suddenly let out a gurgling sound.

Qian Jing patted his stomach, and said with a smile: "We're done talking about this matter, and I've settled a big deal. Come, let's treat everyone to something delicious today."

Zheng Yan stretched out his hand and poked Qian Jing's protruding fat belly, "You said that if your marriage proposal is successful, it won't be long before you should take wedding photos and prepare for the wedding, right? Look at you Swollen belly, can you fit in a suit? If you want me to tell you, stop eating and lose weight. "

Qian Jing rubbed his swollen belly, feeling that what Zheng Yan said was reasonable, but if it really made him hungry, he couldn't stand it.

About losing weight, he talks about it ten times and eight times a year. It has been many years and he hasn't lost weight. It can be seen that there is a reason.

Everyone didn't wait for him, and they all went up one by one.

Qian Jing looked at them and asked, "Didn't you say you don't want to eat? Where are you going?"

Zheng Yan smiled, "I mean if you don't eat, we have to eat. I haven't eaten dinner yet. How can I not eat? You don't need to eat. Just pay us next to us!"

Qian Jing was furious, "Zheng Yan, I found out why you are so bad today, no, I have to eat enough, how can I have the strength to lose weight if I don't eat enough?"

Zhou Xing smiled and asked Gu Xiu, "Are you hungry? Or do you want to soak for a while?"

"What about you?"

"I can do it, as you like."

Following Zhou Xing's movements, Gu Xiu saw his tight abdominal muscles again, and couldn't help stroking his waist and abdomen.

Zhou Xing didn't hide, but he felt a little itchy, and he smiled a little.

"So lovely."

Zhou Xing said with a smile: "You practice every day according to what I told you before, and you can also develop such abdominal muscles."

Gu Xiu shook his head with a smile, and said after a while: "Let's go eat with them too."

Zhou Xing responded, and after coming out of the hot spring pool, he put on his bathrobe and said, "I'll carry you there first, and I'll get you a cane later."

Gu Xiu took the initiative to wrap his arms around his neck, let him hold him, and buried his head in Zhou Xing's chest.

The fluffy bathrobe on Zhou Xing rubbed against his cheek, and Gu Xiu felt the soft touch on it, and responded softly.

Qian Jing looked at it funny, "Brother Zhou, it's over if you help him up, do you need to hug him like this?"

Gu Xiu seemed a little uncomfortable at this moment, two people like this, in the eyes of other people, I'm afraid it really seems abnormal.

"Why don't I..."

Before Gu Xiu could finish his sentence, Zhou Xing said with a smile: "You don't care what he does, he'll be full when he's full."

Zhou Xing hugged Gu Xiu and put him on the chair, then went to help him get the crutches and drinks.

This thoughtful appearance made several people amazed for a while.

Gu Xiu was teased like this, and he didn't know how to react.

Zhou Xing sat next to Gu Xiu, ignored these unserious guys, just lowered his head and asked Gu Xiu what he wanted to eat.

Several people ordered food, and soon the food was served one after another.

What Qian Jing said on the phone earlier was true, the food here is really good.

A few people were eating when Zhou Xing's phone rang suddenly. He looked down and said, "You guys are eating, I'll go out and answer the phone."

Gu Xiu and Zhou Xing live under the same roof. It can be said that Zhou Xing seldom avoids him when he makes a phone call. Seeing Zhou Xing's reaction suddenly at this time, Gu Xiu couldn't help secretly wondering who made the call. here.

After Zhou Xing left, Gu Xiu pretended to be casual and asked Zheng Yan: "Has Zhou Xing had a girlfriend?"

Zheng Yan snorted, "This question is an unsolved case, anyway, I haven't seen it in so many years."

Among them, Zheng Yan should be the talkative and lively one, and he and Zhou Xing are comrades in arms, so Gu Xiu chose to ask him.

Gu Xiu knew that Zhou Xing didn't have a girlfriend now, but he was still not sure about his sexual orientation. Hearing what Zheng Yan said, he felt a faint expectation in his heart.

He asked, "Never?"

"No, at least I haven't heard of it. Of course, I don't dare to ask this question directly. If I ask directly, I feel that Brother Zhou is going to hit me, but I think his first love is still there, maybe the first kiss is still there."

Qian Jing, who was next to him, heard what the two said, and chatted with gossip.

"No, although Brother Zhou doesn't talk much, everyone has a good impression of him, and girls like him. Usually, girls take the initiative to come to him, but Brother Zhou doesn't seem to like him. I haven't heard that he has had a girlfriend, and I haven't seen anyone who is very close to him."

"Brother Zhou must be [-] this year, the eldest is not young, so don't worry."

Meng Ze said: "I asked Brother Zhou before, and Brother Zhou said he didn't mean that, and he didn't know what was going on."

Gu Xiu thought of the time when he confessed to Zhou Xing that he was gay, Zhou Xing's attitude seemed a little too calm, and he didn't hide himself after that.

It sounds like he is of the same kind...

Zhou picked up the phone after walking a little further.

It wasn't that Zhou Xing avoided Gu Xiu and the others on purpose, but Xie Jie talked with him mostly about Gu Xiu's illness.

In this regard, Xie Jie deliberately told him that Gu Xiu didn't want others to know about his illness, so he still pretended not to know about it in front of Gu Xiu and asked him to help keep it secret.

That's why Zhou Xing was like this.

After the call was connected, Xie Jie asked: "How is Gu Xiu doing these days? I send him a message, and every time he tells me that he is playing games, it sounds like something is wrong. If If his condition is serious, we can only temporarily bring him back for treatment, even if he doesn't want to, there is nothing he can do..."

Zhou Xing interrupted Xie Jie, "No, he is much better now, and his mental state is very good. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him."

Xie Jie was a little happy to hear that, Gu Xiu likes to do things according to his own ideas, and doesn't like being controlled by others. If the situation is really serious enough to bring him back by force, I'm afraid the scene will not be good, and Gu Xiu might He would get into trouble with him because of this, and he didn't want to.

After that, Xie Jie asked about Gu Xiu's situation in other aspects, and after knowing that Gu Xiu had a good time, he thanked Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing looked in Gu Xiu's direction, for some reason, he was a little impatient to listen to Xie Jie's words, and wanted to go back to accompany Gu Xiu, so he just said casually: "It's okay."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Zhou Xing sat back beside Gu Xiu.

Seeing him coming back, several people changed the subject, laughing and making noise, and they dispersed until it was dark.

Zhou Xing helped Gu Xiu back to the driver's seat, followed by a cigarette, and after lighting the cigarette, he took a deep breath.

Gu Xiu stretched out his hand towards him.

Zhou Xing handed over the cigarette case.

Gu Xiu took out a cigarette and pressed the lighter a few times, but the lighter seemed to be out of gas, and there was no response.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and slowly approached Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing didn't hide, and even his expression didn't change. The cigarette ends of the two of them collided. Gu Xiu took a deep breath, lit his cigarette, and lit his own.

A little red light shone in the eyes of the two of them, and with such actions, they seemed more and more ambiguous.
