Chapter 17: Video Call

Ji Su sat at the table and thought hard for several minutes before finally deciding to give up asking for a nude photo: "Xiao Qiao, I think I'd rather have a normal selfie."

Qiao Jin doesn't understand, "Why?"

Ji Su explains, "To ask for that kind of photo doesn't fit Mengmeng's persona, and Zha Nan wouldn't necessarily give it."

"That's true ...... " Qiao Jin touched his chin in agreement, "Zha Nan himself holds someone else's private photos in his hand, he should be more alert to this aspect, in case he startles a snake it's not good. "

Ji Su nodded, "That's what I meant."

After all this time together, he realized that the other man was an intelligent and perceptive man, bound to suspect his intentions.

And of course there's the fact that he really doesn't want to look at a certain part of another person of the same sex, or one of those scary ones ......

Qiao Jin eyeballed him, "What about you videoing him and tricking him into chatting naked with you?"

Ji Su : "Roll ......"

"Just kidding hahaha!" Qiao Jin laughed before returning to his seriousness, "As long as we know what Zha Nan looks like, we can find out his real identity, then hand him over to his schoolmate and see what she wants to do with him herself."

After the discussion, Ji Su tapped into WeChat and expressionlessly typed in a petulant voice.

Mengmeng: [Good brother, you go first!]

Mengmeng: [I haven't been able to see you lately, but Mengmeng really wants to see you... ......]

G: [Really?]

Ji Su pursed her lips and continued typing.

Mengmeng: [I miss my brother in my dreams ......]

G: [No selfies on cell phone.]

Mengmeng: [You can take a picture now!]

Mengmeng: [Cat Expectations.jpg]

The sentence was sent, and silence fell across the room.

Qiao Jin wondered, "Zha Nan wouldn't have gone looking for a web map, would he?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a picture popped up in the dialog box.

Ji Su immediately taps into the larger image and his eyes are first drawn to the beautiful abs.

Familiar eight-pack abs and mermaid lines, the eye traveled up the lean waist and stomach, skimming over firm pecs and broad shoulders, finally settling on the face of the man in the mirror.

Sharp, deep contours, like sculpted features, slightly damp frontal hair resting on a high brow bone, a pair of dark eyes slightly narrowed, eyes coldly looking into the mirror.

Impeccably handsome and circumspect, he exuded a cold sensuality.

Ji Su brain "boom", as if a thunderbolt from the sky hit his head, smashed his whole person was confused.

"Did he send it?" Qiao Jin, still in the dark, pushed his head over, "Does Zha Nan look ugly-"

The end note ended abruptly, as if it had been cut off by something raw.

For a while, the dormitory fell into an eerie dead silence.

"Crap?" After a long time, Qiao Jin was the first to come back to his senses, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Ji Su slowly raised his hands and clenched them into fists rubbing his eyes hard.

Opening his eyes again, he still had the same face in his sight.

"It really is Gu Zhao ...... " Ji Su blinked her eyelashes, "Xiao Qiao, are we dreaming?"

"You wait." Qiao Jin pinched his arm hard and yelped in pain, "It hurts! It's not a dream!"

Ji Su subconsciously stroked his arm, his eyes still confused.

"It's not-" Qiao Jin picked up his cell phone and stared at the photo to scrutinize it, "How can it be?"

Ji Su opened her mouth, "I don't think so either."

"First of all, if schoolmaster Gu Da wants to fall in love, there will be a whole lot of men and women who will come after him if he hooks his finger." Qiao Jin began to analyze with his fingers, "Secondly, Gu Zhao's family is especially rich, and the money he cheated from his schoolmates might not even be enough to cover his pocket money for a month."

Ji Su : "I don't know ......"

"This is too nonsensical." Qiao Jin shook his head to himself, "Gu Zhao when the net cheated Zha Nan, what is he trying to do?"

"There must be something wrong somewhere." Ji Su's sanity gradually returned, picking up her cell phone to switch WeChat Big, "I'm going to ask my schoolmate what's going on."

Ji Su: [Sister, are you sure you gave me the right Zha Nan's microphone number?]

If there was any misunderstanding in this case, then the biggest possibility was that he had added the wrong person to the list to begin with.

Lin Yan: [What's up little Susu?]

Lin Yan: [The micro-signal should be correct!]

Ji Su didn't dare to say that the person he added was Gu Zhao, replying after a vague message.

Ji Su : [Elder sister, I think I might have added the wrong person, and the other person is also a student at our school].

Lin Yan: [What? Our school?]

Lin Yan: [No way!]

Ji Su : [Sister, please confirm it.]

Lin Yan: [Okay, wait, I'll check the chat logs!]

Ji Su gripped her cell phone and waited for the results with trepidation in her heart.

A minute later, the dialog box popped up with a reply from the schoolteacher.

Lin Yan: [It's over, it's over, I seem to have misremembered the micro-signal ......]

Ji Su: "......"

Lin Yan ：［I really can't blame me for this, it's hard to memorize such a big list of micro-signals, and if you make a mistake of two letters, it's not right at all ......］.

Ji Su : [Sister, are you sure the other person isn't the one you want to take revenge on?]

Lin Yan: [I'm sure, I haven't seen this avatar or WeChat nickname before.]

Ji Su : [Okay, I got it.]

Lin Yan: [Wait, Ji Su, who did you add?]

Ji Su : [Sister, this matter is a bit complicated, I'll talk to you later].

Qiao Jin on the side was dying of anxiety, "What did Sister say?"

Ji Su put down her cell phone, "Xiao Qiao, we really added the wrong person."

So all this time, he's been posting all sorts of large-scale photos, screaming senior brother all day long, and pandering to the fact that the object of his pampering is actually Gu Zhao?

That big moving iceberg, Gu Zhao?

Ji Su shivered uncontrollably just thinking about the schoolmaster's cold eyes.

"It's over ......" Qiao Jin sat on his butt in the chair, "Who's wrong to add, but Gu Zhao?"

Ji Su raised his hand to the side of his forehead, not knowing what to say.

"No, no, no, no, we can only be sure that the other party is not that Zha Nan now, but he is not necessarily Gu Zhao himself!" Qiao Jin suddenly remembered something, "What if the other party is using the schoolboy's photo for online dating?"

When Ji Su heard this, a glimmer of hope flared up in his heart, "It's not impossible."

"It's come to this, so let's ask for more proof." Qiao Jin suggested, "Just give him a video and grab your camera off first."

Ji Su : "It's the only way."

He cut back to his trumpet, only to realize that G had just sent him a new message.

*

Gu Zhao stood topless in the bathroom, gazing at herself in the mirror.

The light overhead snowed brightly, bringing out the full muscular contours of his body.

"Brother Gu, are you still using the bathroom?" Wang Mingzhe's urgent voice rang out from outside the door, "I can't hold it in a bit!"

Gu Zhao opened his mouth, "Come in."

"Okay!" Wang Mingzhe unscrewed the door handle and jumped into the bathroom with one foot.

As a result, when he raised his eyes, he was so shocked that he almost fell in place, but fortunately, he was quick to hold the door frame with one hand.

"Brother Gu you--" Wang Mingzhe stared with wide eyes, "Why are you taking off your clothes for good reason?"

Gu Zhao doesn't like bare shoulders like other guys, even after showering in the dorm he wears a t-shirt and basically stays fully clothed at all times.

He also joked with Zhou Yang that Gu was afraid that he needed clothes to keep warm because his body temperature was too low due to his self-cooling system.

Gu Zhao turned and took a step in front of him, "Do I look, to you, like there's something wrong with me?"

Wang Mingzhe was confused, "What what problem?"

"The face, the figure." Gu Zhao asked expressionlessly, "Any questions?"

"What--" Wang Mingzhe reacted and yelled, "Are you humiliating me, Brother Gu!"

Gu Zhao is a bit puzzled: "Humiliate you for what?"

Wang Mingzhe hugged the doorframe with a sad face, "Well, I'm not even qualified to let you humiliate me anymore, am I?"

Gu Zhao: "......"

Seeing as he couldn't ask for an answer, he didn't bother with any more questions and grabbed his black t-shirt and pulled it over his body.

"Okay, okay, the abs are perfect, the pecs are perfect, and the face is even more handsome." Wang Mingzhe had a burst of fierce compliments, and couldn't help but wonder, "What exactly did you old man get stimulated by tonight?"

Gu Zhao: "Nothing."

"Oh! I know!" Wang Mingzhe's brain was spinning fast, "Is it that the online dating partner finally asked you for a picture!"

Gu Zhao walked to the door, picked him up by the collar with his big hand and carried him easily into the bathroom, "Cut the crap."

Wang Mingzhe poked his head out and shouted again, "Brother Gu, you have to have confidence in yourself, you're the University of A's schoolboy!"

Zhou Yang, who was reading a book, looked up at the sound, "What? What happened?"

"It's fine." Gu Zhao pulled back his chair and sat down, opening WeChat once more.

Ten minutes had passed since he'd posted that selfie, and there was no movement on the other side.

A slight frown creased his handsome brow as he tapped into the input box and began to type.

G: [Why don't you say something?]

Meanwhile, Ji Su on the other end of the phone takes a deep breath, clicks to dial the video call, and quickly turns off the camera.

"Thump, thump, thump~"

The bell rang and Ji Su's heartbeat became violent with the rhythm, as if waiting for the final judgment.

A few seconds later, the video call connected.

Ji Su couldn't help but hold his breath, and his eyes didn't even dare to look squarely at the cell phone screen.

The video starts off a little dark, the camera shakes twice, and a low, magnetic voice rings out, "What's with the video for me?"

"That ......" Ji Su had just opened her mouth when her arm was pinched.

Qiao Jin reminded with an exaggerated gag, "Clip, sub, sound!"

Ji Su then remembered and tried to catch her voice, "Niinii~ How come I can't see your face?"

After a few more seconds, light finally filtered in.

A handsome, high-flying face appeared in the camera, and his gaze seemed to be less cold than usual.

Ji Su carefully lifted her eyelashes and looked vacantly at her cell phone screen.

The last bubble of hope burst with a pop.

Gu Zhao leaned against the railing of the balcony and narrowed his dark eyes slightly, "How come I can't see you?"

Ji Su hung up the video call almost without thinking.

"Crap ......" Qiao Jin was almost suffocated and took a big breath, "I never thought that one day I would be able to surround myself with Gu Da schoolboy videos!"

However, at the moment, Ji Su could not hear any sound; it was as if his mind was stuffed with an aged cassette tape recorder, echoing eight big words over and over again -

"If you have an axe to grind, dig up three feet, feet ......"
