Don't try to bend me

When did he say he didn't like Gu Jiqing? !

He just told Gu Jiqing not to like him.

……

fuck.

Realizing that there might be no essential difference between these two points for Gu Jiqing, Zhou Cibai could not help but stroke his hair violently.

Had he been kicked in the head by a donkey before? How could he think of saying something like that.

Zhou Cibai was very annoyed at the thought that if Gu Jiqing moved out, Pei Yiming and Pei Erming would definitely pester him.

But if he told Gu Jiqing not to move now, he would be exposed as Bai Zhou.

But it can't be revealed now, because if it wasn't for Bai Zhou's WeChat account, he would still not know that Gu Jiqing's intention was to move out.

So why does this person hold back all the sad things and grievances in his heart?

Zhou Cibai blamed himself, but also felt distressed and angry.

How could Gu Jiqing think that someone could dislike him?

He obviously lived so happily in the dormitory, and Lu Ping Wangquan and the others liked him so much, he moved as soon as he said, wouldn't he be reluctant?

Does it mean that as long as there is someone who doesn't like him, he must first sacrifice his own ideas and consider other people's feelings?

Zhou Cibai didn't understand why Gu Jiqing would think so.

He obviously did nothing wrong, why does he always have to wrong himself.

But before he could come up with an answer, a gentle voice came from behind him: "Are you here to find a cat?"

Zhou Cibai raised his head upon hearing the words.

He saw a delicately dressed woman with a gentle and elegant temperament standing in front of him, with an innocent charm that was very similar to Gu Jiqing's in her eyes.

It's just that Gu Jiqing's innocent charm reveals a calm and gentleness, which makes people feel that he is pure, light, and full of rational wisdom.

However, this lady's innocent charm reveals a kind of vine-like softness, which makes her innocent and weak appear completely.

The temperament of the two is also very different.

But it is not difficult to see the similarity of the skin.

Thinking of Gu Jiqing's once claiming to be only in his sleep talk, Zhou Cibai immediately reacted, stood up straight quickly, and called out nervously: "Hello, Auntie."

Such a tall and handsome kid, why is he nervous when he sees himself.

Yin Lan felt a little cute, and asked with a smile: "Are you here to find a dog? I just called him and didn't answer, so I came down to look for him. Do you want to go in together?"

Thinking of the condoms, lubricating fluid, mottled marks on Gu Jiqing's body and the scattered clothes in the bathroom, Zhou Cibai hurriedly said: "No need, he should be asleep, we will Don't go in and disturb him!"

Yin Lan looked at Zhou Cibai's overly nervous and excited reaction, a little strange.

She took another look at the medicine bag and room card in Zhou Cibai's hand, and she probably understood something, and asked warmly, "Are you the friend who took me away yesterday?"

Zhou Cibai's heart tightened instantly.

Did Gu Jiqing's mother already know?

Fortunately, in the next second, Yin Lan smiled and said: "Last night, I just didn't contact me with his brother. I was so worried. Later, it was his brother's friend who told me that he drank too much and was picked up by a classmate. I'm relieved. Are you that classmate? Zhou Cibai?"

It turned out that I just thought I drank too much.

Zhou Cibai breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Well, I am Zhou Cibai."

"Sure enough, it's the same as what you said. It looks like a child from a good family. It's really thanks to you last night. Since the dog hasn't woken up yet, can auntie treat you to a cup of afternoon tea to express my gratitude?" Yin Lan looked at Looking at him with a sincere and gentle smile.

Zhou Cibai pursed his lips and said, "Okay."

·

Yin Lan chose the location of the afternoon tea on the terrace of the hotel.

She ordered a pot of black tea, a snack tower, and a plate of macarons, and then said with a smile: "We just like to eat sweets. When we were young, we secretly ate sweets and had toothaches, but we couldn't bear it." Tell me, I hid with tears in my eyes, and when I found out later, I couldn't bear to scold him even if I wanted to."

It turns out that Gu Jiqing likes to eat candy.

Zhou Cibai wrote it down silently.

"But why is Gu Jiqing called Zhizhi?" Zhou Cibai couldn't help asking this curious question.

Because he thought the name was cute and wanted to call it himself, but he was afraid that he shouldn't call it.

And hearing this question, the smile in Yin Lan's eyes could not conceal the tenderness and liking: "He learned to speak late when he was a child, his voice was milky, and he couldn't distinguish zhi from ji. Every time he introduced himself in kindergarten, he said that his name was Jiji , a puppy is also a puppy, and a kitten is also a kitten, to help him distinguish, I called him only."

It turned out to be the case.

Thinking of Gu Jiqing with a beautiful little face that is white, tender, soft and glutinous, and saying "a few puppies" very seriously and childishly, Zhou Cibai couldn't help but bow his head and bend his lips. .

Yin Lan asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Cibai said: "It's nothing, I just think it's cute."

"Really." Yin Lan also showed a little smile, "We have been very cute since we were young, and we are very sensible. He actually had a serious illness when he was young, and he had to insert many tubes in the hospital every day. To earn money, but he couldn’t stay with him all the time, he told me, Mom, it’s okay, I don’t hurt. But why do you think I’m willing to see him hurt? Then I married one of my clients, Gu Jue Dad, he paid for me to send me to the United States for an operation, and everything got better."

After Yin Lan's words came to the end, her tone was a little sad without knowing it.

Zhou Cibai also sat up straight.

He felt that Yin Lan would not say these things to himself for no reason.

Sure enough, Yin Lan looked at him tenderly in the next second: "Auntie is really thankful for what happened last night. If something really happened, Auntie really doesn't know what to do. You must Is it just a very trusted friend?"

Zhou Cibai thought of what Gu Jiqing said "it's only you", and didn't deny it.

Yin Lan lowered her eyelashes to hide the sadness in her eyes, and her tone seemed to be relieved: "It's great, it's his luck that we can only meet a friend like you, otherwise what happened to Li Wang and his brother this time, I really don't know how to explain to Gu Jue and his father."

Explain?

Why did she explain to Gu Jiqing's stepfather?

Didn't Li Wang and Gu Jue need to give Gu Jiqing an explanation?

Zhou Cibai couldn't hold back, and said, "Sorry, Auntie, I don't quite understand."

Yin Lan thought that he didn't understand what happened this time. After thinking about it, she felt that Gu Jiqing would have someone to rely on in the future, so she still said: "You also know that there was no Gu Jue's father at that time, and I was just an ordinary bank teller. It is impossible for him to be able to cure his illness with his ability, and it is also impossible for him to have enough food and clothing to get into such a good university all the way. So this is what I owe their family, and I have to make amends in many cases. If something really happened this time, or if the police were called, his brother’s project would definitely fail, and the face of the two families would also be very ugly..."

"so what?"

Zhou Cibai was taught to respect elders and women since he was a child, but he still couldn't help it. He clenched his fists and asked this question.

"So you don't care what kind of grievance Gu Jiqing suffered last night, what kind of harm he may have suffered, whether he was sad, whether he felt wronged, just thinking that since the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, then comfort him. Did he say a few words and stop holding those who tried to hurt him accountable?"

Zhou Cibai held back the anger in his heart, and looked directly at Yin Lan calmly and sharply, talking and questioning like adults on an equal footing.

Yin Lan was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Cibai said again: "I can feel that you love him, and I know your difficulties, but I think if my mother knew that I was drunk or even bullied in a bar, her first reaction would always be to think about what to do. How to protect me, how to prevent me from being bullied in the future, instead of being thankful that nothing happened this time. So you know why Gu Jiqing will not tell anyone now no matter what grievances he has suffered, but just chooses to give in by himself ?"

"I..." Yin Lan seemed surprised, but didn't know what to say, so she could only hesitate.

Zhou Cibai said again: "Actually, I was also curious about this question before I talked with you, but after talking with you, I understood, because he is the only person in the world who can be relied on, and he always thinks about How to make him feel wronged. But do you know why I didn't call the police last night? "

Yin Lan opened her mouth, but she still didn't know the answer.

Zhou Cibai endured the deep pain in his heart, and said: "Because Gu Jiqing said that this is his only bargaining chip. If he doesn't call the police, this is what Gu Jue owes him. You will be much better off at Gu's house. So you It may feel that all you do is to love him, but in my eyes, he loves you far more than you love him."

"I know, it may be very abrupt for an outsider to say these words, but I still take the liberty to hope that you can think about it before you go to him, otherwise you may say something that makes him sad, but he still just wants to How can I make you happier. It's not fair to him."

Zhou Cibai had never treated any elder so aggressively before, even though his tone was restrained and cultivated as much as possible, he still froze Yin Lan on the spot.

And after he finished speaking, he was afraid that he couldn't help saying more excessive words, so he stood up with the medicine bag in his hand, and said politely: "Gu Jiqing may have to eat dinner and take medicine after waking up, so I'll go back to the room first." I've taken care of him, and I hope you enjoy your afternoon tea."

After speaking, he walked away with two long legs without looking back.

Yin Lan was left in a daze, and did not realize it until a long time later, then turned her head, looked out the window, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.

·

But Zhou Cibai couldn't help finishing the long series of words, and after returning to the door of Gu Jiqing's room, he grabbed a few handfuls of his hair.

Why didn't he hold back just now, and spoke so fiercely.

The other party is Gu Jiqing's mother.

In the future, if he is really with Gu Jiqing, then he will be his mother-in-law.

What if you object to them being together?

But forget it, what else can I do?

The most important thing now is to let Gu Jiqing know that he doesn't dislike him, so don't rush to move out.

Thinking about it, Zhou Cibai took out his mobile phone and sent Zhou Zhenbai a WeChat message: [Brother, I have something to ask you to help me, it's about Li Wang]

Then opened the door.

The big bed in the center of the room was directly in sight. Gu Jiqing was lying sideways on the side of the bed, his arms were naturally hanging from the edge of the bed along the quilt, his mobile phone fell on the carpet, and his eyelashes were quietly hanging down.

It looks like he fell asleep after sending out WeChat because of extreme sleepiness and exhaustion.

Thinking of how he tormented Gu Jiqing last night, Zhou Cibai averted his eyes guiltily.

He closed the door softly, walked over, straightened Gu Jiqing on the bed, and when he was about to tuck in the quilt, he happened to see the red, swollen and broken skin on Gu Jiqing's chest from the open neckline of his nightgown.

His face flushed instantly, he quickly lowered his head, took out the abrasion medicine he just bought, dipped it on his fingers, tightened the corners of his lips, reddened the roots of his ears, and applied it bit by bit on the two spots that had changed. Become a red place.

However, he is a person who is used to playing basketball. He is big and clumsy when doing this kind of thing, so much so that he thinks that Gu Jiqing in his sleep will frown slightly when he touches it lightly. He hummed dissatisfiedly.

Zhou Cibai was so frightened that he quickly relaxed his strength.

After he finally finished painting, a thin layer of sweat had already oozed from the corner of his forehead, and his ears were as red as if they were about to ripen.

Then he carefully adjusted the neckline of Gu Jiqing's nightgown, and then pulled the quilt up to his chin, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Counting the time, when Gu Jiqing woke up, he would probably be hungry too.

Zhou Cibai asked the hotel to bring up the ingredients, and went to the kitchen to get a pot of sweet and sour short ribs and a squirrel mandarin fish, so that when Gu Jiqing woke up, he would have plain porridge, which was just right for him to eat.

After finishing, he went to the bathroom again, blushed and picked up the clothes that he had roughly torn off yesterday and threw them into the sink.

In fact, it is not impossible to send clothes to the hotel for washing.

But there are Gu Jiqing's underwear inside, Zhou Cibai always feels very awkward when he thinks about washing it for others.

Not to mention underwear.

Zhou Cibai, a 1.9-meter tall man, stood aggrieved in the hotel's not-so-spacious bathroom, guarding a sink, pursing the corners of his lips, and carefully rubbing the small piece of cotton cloth.

He did it anyway, so he should have washed it.

Otherwise, Gu Jiqing can't be tired all night and have to do laundry by himself the next day.

Zhou Cibai thought about washing more diligently and conscientiously, not even letting go of the collar of the white shirt, which is the most difficult to wash.

After washing, it was carefully dried, ironed, and neatly stacked on the head of the bed.

So when Gu Jiqing woke up, he found that the sky outside the window had completely darkened.

The night was very dark, and the lights in the room were not turned on, only the living room was dimly lit with warm yellow light, and there was the sound of pots and bowls colliding, as well as the smell of sweet and sour food.

Gu Jiqing grumbled in his stomach, and tentatively called out in disbelief: "Zhou Cibai?"

Then Zhou Cibai appeared at the door of the room in the next second, like a dog called by the owner: "Are you awake? I just heated up the food."

Gu Jiqing was speechless for a while watching him roll up his sleeves and hold a bowl of short ribs.

Because Yin Lan likes to cook, the suites that Gu Jue booked for him and Yin Lan this time are all equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and laundry room, but he never thought that it would really come in handy.

After all, the 36th floor is the restaurant of the Michelin-starred chef. Except for a few ladies who love baking, who would cook in the hotel with nothing to do?

At that moment, Gu Jiqing actually felt a little headache and a little funny.

He asked softly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"Huh? Oh, that..."

Zhou Cibai didn't know how to explain it.

Before he could think of a suitable explanation, Gu Jiqing had already turned his head to see the head of the bed, paused, and asked in surprise, "Can you help me wash my underwear too?"

Zhou Cibai blushed instantly: "I didn't wash that for you on purpose, it happened to be caught in the clothes..."

He flustered and stumbled before he finished explaining, when Gu Jiqing's cell phone rang.

Gu Jiqing picked it up and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mom?"

The redness of Zhou Cibai'ergen faded instantly, and his expression became calm and vigilant.

Then I heard Gu Jiqing say again: "Well, okay, I'll pack up right away and come out."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cibai asked, "Is there anything your mother wants from you?"

Gu Jiqing picked up a change of clothes and said: "She said that Christmas is the last hour, and she asked me to accompany her to the rooftop to watch the Christmas performance."

"But it's so cold outside now, and you're still not feeling well, does she have to call you now?" Zhou Cibai's voice was calm and steady.

Gu Jiqing didn't look at him, but said, "Well, because it's a holiday today, she and Gu Jue and I want to make a video call with our family."

Otherwise, it would not be in line with their holiday atmosphere of a big family reunion.

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Zhou Cibai had already guessed it. He looked at Gu Jiqing's pale face, and couldn't help asking: "Then do you want to go by yourself?"

Of course I don't want to go.

He didn't like that kind of sensational performance, and he didn't like the harmony of a large group of people with guns and clubs and hypocrisy.

But after all, he hasn't formally raised his idea of ​​independence with Gu Jue's father, so it's not good to embarrass Yin Lan first.

So Gu Jiqing just replied casually: "I don't think it's that important."

"Why is it not important?" Zhou Cibai held the share of small ribs with a serious face, "You only do what you want to do, why can't you refuse what you don't want to do? Why do you have to wrong yourself?"

Sure enough, he was a child who grew up in a happy family.

That's why we take everything that makes sense for granted.

Gu Jiqing lowered his head, untied the strap of his nightgown, and said gently and casually: "Not everyone in this world is qualified to refuse. I have been dependent on others since I was a child, and I depend on others for my food, clothing, housing and transportation. If I can't be accepted and liked , may become homeless, so what qualifications do you think I have to refuse?"

"But why do you think that you won't be liked if you refuse?" Zhou Cibai's tone became more anxious.

Gu Jiqing was still indifferent: "Then why do you think I will be liked even if I refuse?"

"Because you deserve to be liked!"

The moment this sentence came out of his mouth, Zhou Cibai paused.

Gu Jiqing also stopped undoing the strap of his nightgown, raised his head, and looked at him with some puzzlement.

There was a short, awkward silence.

Holding the ribs, Zhou Cibai looked away uncomfortably, but he still didn't take back what he just said, just pursed the corners of his lips, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I won't refuse my request just because of you." I just feel that I don’t like you, that kind of liking is not really liking you.”

After a pause, he added: "And it's already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory access control can't go back. You can't just leave me in the room alone."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head awkwardly, her ears turned red, and the corners of her lips were completely pursed, not daring to look at Gu Jiqing any more.
