Don't try to bend me

Gu Jiqing wants to go to the hotel with this person? !

How many days have we known each other? !

And didn't you just hold my hand yesterday and say that you like me?

Is Gu Jiqing's liking so casual?

At that moment, Zhou Cibai's heart was flooded with uncontrollable sourness and anger for an unknown reason.

He didn't care about his rationality and self-cultivation anymore, he directly grabbed Gu Jiqing's wrist with a cold face, and threw a sentence "I have something to talk to him" at Pei Yiming. walked back.

There is no second word, it cannot be divided, it seems to be a matter of course.

So much so that Pei Yiming originally wanted to stop it, but felt that he shouldn't get involved, so he just smiled meaningfully and stood there watching the excitement.

But Zhou Cibai couldn't help but stop when he got to the place where no one was downstairs in the dormitory, looked back at Gu Jiqing, and said anxiously: "Gu Jiqing, you've only known him for a few days? Do you know who he is? Human? What if something happens later? Do you know how to protect yourself and cherish yourself? What are men thinking in their hearts, don’t you have any points in your heart! "

Gu Jiqing talked to Pei Yiming about foster care, but he was dragged away suddenly. Before he had time to ask what was going on, he was asked preemptively, but if he changed someone casually, he would probably have already lost his temper.

Fortunately, seeing Zhou Cibai's reaction, Gu Jiqing quickly and calmly made a judgment, but asked softly, "Did you misunderstand something?"

He asked calmly and calmly.

Zhou Cibai, who originally thought he was full of confidence, froze slightly.

Gu Jiqing also completely confirmed his misunderstanding, and explained gently: My family brought my puppy, and now it is waiting for me to pick it up at the hotel. Pei Yiming's pet shop is right next to the hotel, let's go there together Relatively smooth. "

Zhou Cibai's hand holding Gu Jiqing completely froze.

Gu Jiqing withdrew his wrist, put it in his pocket, and asked casually: "So is there anything else?"

His tone was very calm.

In other words, his reaction to this oolong from beginning to end was too calm.

So much so that Zhou Cibai had an inexplicable illusion in his heart that everything was under Gu Jiqing's control.

But that's not important, the important thing is how could he think that Gu Jiqing would have a room with a man whom he met for the first time?

Realizing how absurd and nasty his thoughts were, Zhou Cibai hastily withdrew his right hand, averted his gaze, and handed over his wallet and scarf with a guilty conscience: "Well, you forgot to bring it."

"Well, thank you." Gu Jiqing took his wallet, put it away, paused, and did not change the subject, but said, "Your reaction today is out of control."

Zhou Cibai paused slightly.

Gu Jiqing looked at him and said seriously: "Actually, even if Pei Yiming and I really want to go to the hotel, as an adult male, it's normal. You don't have to care about it at all."

When Gu Jiqing said this, he just thought that Zhou Cibai was probably filled with righteous indignation because his moral values ​​were too strong, so strong that he couldn't even accept that people around him had potential moral stains and the risk of being hurt.

But he also felt that between him and Zhou Cibai, there was no such responsibility and obligation to care about each other's private life or to explain their private life to each other.

He tried to use a gentle way of expression to express to Zhou Cibai the sense of boundary that he felt should exist between them.

However, what Zhou Cibai heard had another meaning—Gu Jiqing was implying that since he had already rejected him, he could do with whomever he liked, and he had no control over it.

The hand Zhou Cibai withdrew unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Indeed, since it is impossible for him to like Gu Jiqing, Gu Jiqing, as an adult male with independent consciousness, can date whoever he likes, go to the hotel with whomever he likes, it has nothing to do with him, He has absolutely no reason to care, let alone get excited

But I don't know why, as long as he thinks that Gu Jiqing might really have something to do with that Pei Yiming, and thinks of Gu Jiqing lying under him and appearing in front of others that day, he feels extremely irritable and depressed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Jiqing thought he understood: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first, Pei Yiming is still waiting for me."

Upon hearing these three words, Zhou Cibai's fists clenched even tighter.

But no matter how tightly his fists were clenched, he couldn't find a suitable position to say a suitable word. After watching Gu Jiqing hesitate to speak for a long time, he could only say "hmm" with a cold face reluctantly, and then Turn around and leave.

After walking two steps, he remembered something again, turned back, stuffed his thick scarf into Gu Jiqing's hand with a sulky face, then turned around and walked faster.

Anyway, he doesn't care about others, so why don't you hurry up.

The more Zhou Cibai thought about it, the darker his face became, the more he thought about it, the darker his face became.

When he walked to the door of the dormitory, Wang Quan saw his stinky face as if he had just been robbed of his wife, and couldn't help asking: "President Zhou, what's the matter? It's a big festival, who offended you? "

"No one."

Zhou Cibai originally wanted to say that it was the Pei Yiming you introduced, but he couldn't figure out how Pei Yiming offended him, so he could only take out the key and continue to open the door with a bad face.

Halfway through the drive, the more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I still couldn't hold it back. I looked up at Wang Quan, and asked, "If a person said he liked you yesterday, but today he left with another boy in front of you, and said this?" It has nothing to do with you, what does he mean?"

"What else could it mean?" Wang Quan didn't even think about it, "It's just to stimulate you and make you jealous."

Jealous?

When Zhou Cibai heard these two words, he felt as if he had been hit somewhere, and the hand that opened the dormitory door stopped immediately.

It will be unhappy to see the other party add other people's WeChat.

It will be unpleasant to see the other person smiling at others.

It's still unpleasant to see each other going to the hotel with someone else.

Isn't this jealous?

But how could he be jealous of Gu Jiqing?

How could he, a straight man, be jealous of a man? !

At that moment, Zhou Cibai suddenly remembered one of the guidelines that Lu Ping had said at the time - if you stay away, let the other party worry about gains and losses, start to be jealous, and arouse the other party's desire to protect.

Zhou Cibai: "..."

He doesn't know if Gu Jiqing has such thoughts, but he can be sure that he must be influenced by Gu Jiqing, otherwise how could he subtly start to care about these inexplicable things.

Who does Gu Jiqing like, who does he date, what does he do with whom, and what does it have to do with him.

Zhou Cibai lowered his head, quickly twisted the key that he hadn't unlocked for a long time, and thought with a sudden heartbeat, before Gu Jiqing came back at night, he must speak more clearly and directly to him.

He is a straight man, absolutely impossible to be bent.

Zhou Cibai felt that he had never been so calm.

Then with a "snap", he broke the dormitory key in the keyhole.

Zhou Cibai: "..."

fuck.

·

When Pei Yiming saw Gu Jiqing coming back wearing a thick scarf that didn't fit his temperament at first glance, he opened the car door and asked casually, "That boy liked you just now?"

"No." Gu Jiqing sat in the co-pilot and answered casually, "He is homophobic, and he will never like boys in his life."

It is so determined that it is casual, as if it is stating a well-known established common sense.

Pei Yiming thought of the boy's hostile gaze when he looked at him just now, as if male animals on the grassland were vying for a spouse. He smiled and said nothing, closed the car door, and drove slowly to the hotel address given by Gu Jiqing.

The hotel is really close to the school, and it takes only a few minutes to drive there.

Yin Lan lived in the penthouse suite. When the door card was swiped open, a big white, fluffy and beautiful dog jumped out, threw Gu Jiqing on the carpet, and then buried herself in the door. Biting the scarf, it seems that he particularly likes the smell on the scarf.

Gu Jiqing was so enthusiastic that it took a long time for him to wrap the scarf around his neck before pushing it away reluctantly, then he stroked its head and showed a rare sincere smile: "Gu porridge, you Are you gaining weight again?"

"You have gained weight. You are two catties fatter than before you started school, but you have lost weight again." Yin Lan touched Gu Jiqing's face, her eyes could not hide her distress, "Did you not eat well? Huh? During this period of time, my mother is cooking for you in the hotel, and I must make you a lot of delicious food to make you fat."

Gu Jiqing didn't dare to look into her eyes, lowered his head, touched the head of Congee Congee who was happily circling the two of them, and said "um", just about to say something, when the opposite room The door opened.

"Ah mail? Just right, what I just told you on the phone about Free's party tonight, you..."

Gu Jue was halfway through speaking, when he saw Pei Yiming, he stopped, and then changed the subject, "Your friend?"

"Well, I'm here to pick up the porridge." Gu Jiqing had no intention of introducing Pei Yiming to Gu Jue.

Gu Jue was also not interested in this kind of college students, so he just nodded and said: "Okay, he is quite handsome, and looks reliable, then you should finish the work with your friend first, and I will talk to you later."

After speaking, Gu Jue hurried away while putting on his coat.

After Gu Jiqing packed up all the congee and porridge, he followed Pei Yiming downstairs.

Because Congee Congee really liked Zhou Cibai's scarf, he kept biting on it, and already got a lot of saliva on it, so Gu Jiqing could only send the scarf away with the dog, and then thought about buying it for Zhou Cibai A new apology.

When the elevator door closed, Pei Yiming asked, "Who was that just now..."

"My brother." Gu Jiqing answered briefly.

Pei Yiming nodded: "It's pretty good-looking too, but it's not like you. I thought it was some other friend of yours."

Gu Jiqing raised his eyes.

Pei Yiming said casually: "Free is downstairs from my house. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me. I will be there in 2 minutes."

Free has been in a bit of a mess lately. If someone else asked Gu Jiqing, he would definitely not recommend it. But since he is Gu Jiqing's older brother, there shouldn't be any problems. If there is, it won't be his turn for the first time. For outsiders who meet.

Pei Yiming could tell that Gu Jiqing was not interested in him at all for the time being, but he didn't mind being friends with such a smart, beautiful and good-tempered person, so he expressed his kindness appropriately.

And Gu Jiqing felt that Pei Yiming's personality traits were similar to him in some respects, and it was easy to communicate with him.

As for where Free is, he didn't know at all, he only knew it was a bar, he nodded his thanks, and then sent Pei Yiming and Porridge away.

When returning to the hotel room, Yin Lan happened to hold out a casserole. Seeing him, she hurriedly greeted him, "Just come over and have some soup. Mom has been cooking all afternoon and put a lot of caterpillar fungus in it. I just want to make up for it for you." body, and the clothes I bought for you, and the new gloves we wove."

After speaking, he took out a pile of beautiful clothes and a pair of delicate and soft cashmere gloves and insisted on letting Gu Jiqing try them.

Yin Lan's craftsmanship and aesthetics have always been good.

The soup was delicious, the clothes were beautiful, and the gloves were just the right size.

Gu Jiqing felt a lot warmer in his body.

And Yin Lan looked out of the window, and suddenly exclaimed: "Just, it's snowing."

He hurriedly led Gu Jiqing to the balcony.

Yin Lan, who grew up in the south, saw large flakes of snow falling on her expensive and delicate cashmere skirt, turned her head and smiled at Gu Jiqing: "Just, come and see, these snowflakes won't melt. .”

Since childhood, many people have said that Gu Jiqing looks like Yin Lan.

It's just that Gu Jiqing is mild in his bones, but Yin Lan is soft in his bones.

Soft as a dodder flower.

So ever since she married into the Gu family, she was always afraid that the man he was attached to would be unhappy, so she had to carefully play the most perfect wife and stepmother, so that she had to divide her love for her son.

When Gu Jiqing saw the gentle and innocent smile on this beautiful face that had never been treated badly, he lowered his head and gently stirred the soup in the bowl.

What he didn't dare to admit was that he actually enjoyed such a rare time that only belonged to him and Yin Lan.

There is no Gu Jue, no Gu Jue's father, no Gu family to please.

Yin Lan no longer needs to be cautious for fear of doing wrong things, and she doesn't have to be a perfect wealthy wife and gentle stepmother. She can put all her energy on the beautiful things she likes.

He bought nice clothes for Gu Jiqing, put on a mask and boiled soup all night, and stayed at home for a few afternoons, just to weave a new pair of gloves for Gu Jiqing.

It seems to have returned to the days when Yin Lan had not married into the Gu family, and the mother and son depended on each other for life.

It's just that at that time I couldn't afford clothes, and I couldn't bear to use seafood to make soup, and the wool for knitting gloves could only be removed from the beautiful sweater that Yin Lan couldn't bear to wear to make clothes for Gu Jiqing.

Yin Lan loves him, otherwise she wouldn't have married that man she was actually afraid of because of his serious illness back then.

It's just that many things were forgotten and ignored later.

For example, Yin Lan was looking at Xue happily at first, but after receiving the call, her smile instantly turned into a gentle look, and after she hung up the phone, she looked at Gu Jiqing with a look of guilt that hesitated to speak and distressed.

Gu Jiqing just glanced at it, then understood, lowered his head and continued to drink the soup in the bowl, and said lightly: "It's okay, I will go tonight."

Yin Lan sat back at the table, looked at Gu Jiqing, and said softly with some guilt: "Just, mom knows you don't like to go to that kind of place, but your brother promised me that he will never let you suffer." Bullying, you just go through the motions and give Li Wang and them a face."

"Ah."

Gu Jiqing understands Gu Jue, he will not let himself be bullied subjectively, but his objective IQ is limited, so his guarantee is not reliable.

But he didn't bother to say it, he just whispered: "Mom, I will be 20 years old after the new year, and I want to move out of the Gu family."

Yin Lan was a little taken aback.

Gu Jiqing rarely tried to comfort her, but calmly said his own words: "I have a scholarship, I can also be a tutor, draw some amateur illustrations, and I can cover my tuition and living expenses. As for the past ten years, I have recorded everything in the account, and I will calculate it according to the inflation rate and return it to him.”

"Just..."

"Mom, you and him are a legal couple. You don't owe him anything. I promised to help Gu Jue win this project this time to thank him for agreeing to take in Congee. As for the others, I will not do more gone."

After Gu Jiqing finished the last spoonful of soup, he raised his head: "So does he have any other requests this time?"

His expression and voice were as lazy and gentle as ever, as if he was speaking ordinary words.

But when Yin Lan saw his eyes, she felt distressed inexplicably, and then quickly looked away, and said softly: "It's nothing, he just wanted you to take your classmate surnamed Zhou..."

"Zhou Cibai?"

Gu Jiqing interrupted her peacefully.

"It seems to be the name."

"I don't know him very well, and his family status is not comparable to that of Gu Jue and Li Wang, so I don't want him to go, and I'm not sure he will go, all I can do is convey It's just Gu Jue's invitation, I don't know how to do anything else, and I suggest Gu Jue and the others not to do it."

Gu Jiqing didn't think that Zhou Cibai was interested in such an occasion, and he couldn't find any reason for Zhou Cibai to go, so he agreed to ask this question for Gu Jue, but he didn't want to embarrass Yin Lan too much.

After all, he could still think of Zhou Cibai's answer - "No" with a deadpan expression.

Yin Lan also understood these things, she pursed her lips, and responded softly: "Okay, I will tell your brother."

Gu Jiqing took out her mobile phone, stood up, and went to the balcony.

He originally wanted to send a WeChat message, but he felt that once such a matter was asked, it would be troublesome to send a WeChat message, so he finally called Zhou Cibai.

And Zhou Cibai had blocked the keyhole of the dormitory by him, and the maintenance master hadn't come yet, so he could only put on a bad face, and with his own strength, the temperature in the dormitory next door plummeted by ten degrees.

And when it was dark, before Gu Jiqing came back, it dropped another ten degrees.

Fortunately, as a professional matchmaker, Wang Quan only thought about his own career, and didn't worry about Zhou Cibai's unhappiness at all. He just scrolled through Moments, and suddenly said, "Awesome! Pei elder brother!"

Brother Pei?

One of the three words that Zhou Cibai hates most now is Pei, and the indoor temperature has almost reached that of the outdoors.

Wang Quan only wanted to share the joy of gossip, so he handed the phone to him without knowing it: "Look! No wonder Gu Gu didn't come back! There's something wrong!"

When Zhou Cibai heard the word Gu Gu, he raised his eyes angrily, then paused in place.

On the screen is a circle of friends.

The sender's name was Pei Yiming.

Moments content: Christmas Eve took in a cute kid surnamed Gu.

Pictured: a big Satsuma with a silly grin and a not-so-intelligent look, and a scarf around Satsuma's neck.

A light brown Hermès scarf that originally belonged to Zhou Cibai.

But now it's wrapped around Pei Yiming's dog's neck and appeared at Pei Yiming's house, and Pei Yiming posted it on Moments to show off.

Zhou Cibai: "..."

At that moment, he couldn't describe what kind of mood he was in. He just thought of Gu Jiqing's sentence "Even if Pei Yiming and I really want to go to the hotel, it's normal for an adult male", and his heart suddenly burst out. Extremely sore, bored and uncomfortable, his knuckles were clenched tightly, as if they were about to be crushed.

Just when the phone rang, he took it out irritably, and was about to hang up, but saw Gu Jiqing's name, his fingertips paused for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he picked it up with an extremely calm voice: "What's the matter?" ?”

"Yes." Gu Jiqing replied softly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Zhou Cibai calmed down: "Well, you say."

"I won't go back to the dormitory at night."

Zhou Cibai frantically: "You?!"

"Accompany my mother at the hotel."

Zhou Cibai is obedient: "Oh."

He suddenly felt that his heart had slowed down, and it seemed that his heart was not in a good condition.

"Do you want me to ask for leave for auntie?" Zhou Cibai asked in a decent tone.

Gu Jiqing said "hmm": "But there are other things."

Zhou Cibai calmly said, "Say it."

"It's just..." Gu Jiqing hesitated to speak, and after deliberating for a while, he asked softly, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

The moment the words fell, Zhou Cibai's heart skipped a beat.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, Gu Jiqing asked what does this mean?Want to ask him out on Christmas Eve?

Christmas Eve has always been called Confession Night, what does it mean to ask him out at this time?

Zhou Cibai's knuckles holding the phone were so tense that they turned white.

Gu Jiqing continued to ask slowly in his unique lazy and soft tone: "If there is no arrangement, Free has a party, are you interested?"

"Free?"

Very familiar name.

Zhou Cibai frowned slightly.

Before he could react, Wang Quan next to him said with a know-it-all face, "Isn't Free the gay place that just opened near the school? Well, it's said that there will be a big Christmas Eve party today, and a lot of foreigners will be invited." The hunk came to striptease, and the invitation letter is so coquettish."

After finishing speaking, he handed the phone to Zhou Cibai: "Look."

On the screen are the blue nightclub lights.

In the center of the light, several macho men with blood-thirsty figures and only one piece of triangular cloth are posing around the steel pipe.

And below the hunk, there is a line of huge luminous cursive words - no man can leave straight away, Free is waiting for you tonight.

"..."

Not a single man.

Can go straight away.

"..."

So where did Gu Jiqing go before meeting him? !What are you looking at? !And what does it mean to invite him to such a place on Christmas Eve? !

At that moment, Zhou Cibai looked at the muscular men who were not as tall as him on the screen, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He held the phone tightly, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Gu Jiqing, can you stop talking all day and night? Want to break me!"
