Chapter 22: I have you don't
The seconds ticked by, and even though Ji Su kept her head down, she could still feel the pressure of the line of sight above her head.
Gu Zhao doesn't even wipe the water from his abs, and seems to be intently waiting for his answer.
Under such pressure, Ji Su's mind suddenly had a bright idea and found a reasonable excuse: "I didn't bring my swimming trunks, let's learn it next time we have a chance."
Gu Zhao spoke up, "There are swim trunks in the locker in the room."
"Yes, the swimming trunks are in the closest cabinet in the bathroom." Zhou Yang took over, "Other than that, at least this hotel is well prepared, I'll stay at his place next time."
"Come on Ji Su!" Wang Mingzhe slapped the surface of the water, "Look, I can swim even when my feet are not yet healed, so you'll surely be able to learn, so don't worry about coming down!"
Ji Su closed her eyes, it seemed that she could only use her last big move.
He raised his eyes and Qiao Jin exchanged a glance, and when he was about to pretend to be fainting, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Ji Su moved with a start, never having felt her cell phone ring so pleasantly.
It's not a cell phone ringing, it's the heavenly voice that saves lives.
Ji Su immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket, and said in an apologetic tone, "Excuse me, I have to take a call first."
With that, he turned around, gripping his cell phone as he walked away from the pool.
Gu Zhao stood in place, his gaze following that hurried back, the color in his eyes becoming more and more somber.
After several seconds, Zhou Yang reacted, "Ji Su answered the phone in such a hurry, is something wrong?"
Qiao Jin got up smoothly, "I don't know, I'll go check on Susu first, you guys keep playing."
Qiao Jin also ran away, Zhou Yang was a bit bored and greeted him, "Brother Gu, come down and swim two more laps!"
"Swim slowly by yourself." Gu Zhao drops a line, takes a wet step, and leaves without looking back.
Zhou Yang and Wang Mingzhe in the pool were confused: "Why are we suddenly the only ones left?"
Over there Ji Su made his way towards the bedroom while picking up the phone, "Hello, there."
A mechanical female voice came on the other end of the line, selling him a bank loan deal.
In order to prevent the reveal, Ji Su simply did the whole thing and recorded the conversation with the AI without any obstacles: "Uh-huh, okay, I understand ......"
It was hard to get to the door of the room, and he had just stepped in and was about to close the door when there was a considerable amount of resistance from behind him.
Ji Su was startled, but turned around and realized it was Qiao Jin, and then relaxed.
"Who?" Qiao Jin asked quietly, "It's not your dad again, is it?"
"No." Ji Su signaled him to come in and talk.
Qiao Jin enters the door, closes it, and then locks it behind him.
Ji Su hangs up, "No one, a sales call."
"Then this phone call can be considered to have saved you." Qiao Jin leaned against the door panel, his heart palpitating, "I was so scared just now, I almost thought you were going to reveal yourself."
Ji Su walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong: "Xiao Qiao, do you think Gu Zhao knows something?"
The way Gu Zhao looked at him just now made him wonder if the other party wanted to just throw him into the pool.
"No way?" Qiao Jin thought carefully, "Except for the fact that they both play the piano, you and Mengmeng are two different people, so it doesn't make sense for him to associate you with each other."
Ji Su frowned slightly, "Could it just be that playing the piano revealed a flaw?"
"There are so many people who can play the piano in this world, what kind of evidence is this?" Qiao Jin paused and slammed his head, "I know, it's because you playing the piano reminds him of Mengmeng, so he's looking at you in a bad light."
Hearing him say that, Ji Su was a bit more at ease, "Xiao Qiao, your analysis makes sense."
"Right?" Qiao Jin was bursting with self-confidence, "Don't worry, you just have to insist that you don't drop your pants in front of Gu Zhao."
Ji Su repeated in a firm tone, "I would never take my pants off in front of him."
When he finished, he vaguely felt as if something was odd and changed his statement, "I would never show my legs in front of him."
Qiao Jin nods, "Absolutely not!"
*
It was still early, Ji Su turned on the computer and drew some pictures for a while, when there was a knock on the door of his room.
He closed his computer and walked behind the door, asking warily, "Who is it?"
"It's me, He Yiming!" a sunny, bright voice came from outside the door, "Ji Su, are you asleep?"
Ji Su opens the door, "Still awake."
He Yiming explained, "Old Wang and the others were downstairs clamoring for a game and sent me to call out to you and Qiao Jin."
Ji Su hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Who all plays?"
He Yiming replied back, "Lao Wang, Lao Zhou, and I. If you and Qiao Jin both play, that makes five."
Ji Su dropped her heart when she heard there was no Gu Zhao and turned her head to raise her voice, "Xiao Qiao, are you going to play a game?"
Qiao Jin was squatting in the restroom and responded with a sniff, "Right away, right away, I'll be right there!"
The three of them went down the rotating staircase, Ji Su's gaze fell on the living room, and the smile on her lips abruptly froze.
Who is Gu Zhao if not the man sitting expressionlessly on the sofa with a pair of long legs against the sky?
Ji Su subconsciously retreated to the back steps, and in the next second, Gu Zhao raised his eyes.
Looking at each other, Ji Su silently withdrew his foot and continued to walk down the stairs.
You can't make it too obvious, too obvious looks like weakness.
"Hey?" He Yiming was also a bit surprised, "Gu Zhao didn't you just say that you don't play this game?"
Gu Zhao is as good as gold: "Changed my mind."
"Well, it's also more lively with one more person to play with." He Yiming scratched his nose, not thinking much of it at all.
Qiao Jin takes a step forward and sits next to Zhou Yang.
Ji Su chose to sit on the sofa furthest away from Gu Zhao, and as a result, He Yiming sat on his left side.
Ji Su moved a little to the side and acquiesced.
After a few days together, he found He Yiming is a very good person, and privately did not ask to add his WeChat.
Maybe the other guy really just wanted to be friends with him, then there was no need for him to overreact.
"Okay, now that everyone's here." Qiao Jin asks, "What game are we going to play?"
Wang Mingzhe heatedly smiled, "This game is called [I Have You Don't]."
"I have you don't? What kind of game is this?" He Yiming wondered, "How come I've never even heard of it?"
Wang Mingzhe disliked him when he got the chance, "Hahaha you old man, there are many games you haven't heard of!"
Zhou Yang was afraid that the two would pinch each other again and hurriedly began to explain the rules, "The rule of this game is that everyone takes turns to say one thing that only they have done and no one else has, but if someone in the room has done it, then the person who said it and the person who did it must be punished together."
"The rules of this game sound simple enough." Qiao Jin scratches his chin, "So what's the punishment?"
Zhou Yang leans over, drags a basket of beer from under the couch, and sets it on the table, "The punishment is this."
Qiao Jin hurriedly declared in advance, "First of all, I am particularly bad at drinking, in case I drink too much, you may not be able to bear the consequences."
Zhou Yang joked, "If you're really drunk, I'll carry you upstairs."
Qiao Jin blushed and stuttered a bit as he spoke, "Really, really?"
"I can do it too!" Wang Mingzhe interjected, "Although my feet are not convenient, I can carry you up!"
Qiao Jin : "It's not necessary!"
The game officially begins with the bottle spinning around the table and pointing first to He Yiming.
"It's me at first, I'm a bit nervous!" He Yiming thought for a moment and then said, "I was dressed up as a girl when I was a kid."
"Crap!" Wang Mingzhe shouted, "He Yiming, how dare you say such a powerful thing just to win!"
He Yiming had a smug look on his face, "What's in that, let's just say I have you guys or not!"
Zhou Yang : "This is something we definitely don't even have."
At that moment, Ji Su, who was sitting on the sidelines, took a glass of beer from the table.
The others looked at him in unison, and there was a chorus of "fuck".
Gu Zhao also raised his eyes to look at him, not knowing what came to his mind, and a few strands of odd emotions flooded his deep, bottomless eyes.
"Really? Susu, did you pretend to be a girl when you were little?" Qiao Jin had a tone of disbelief, "I can't believe you haven't even shared such a thing with me! Are we still best friends?"
Ji Su showed an awkward and impolite smile, "Just once when I was very young, I can't even recall if He Yiming didn't mention it today."
"Ah sorry sorry!" He Yiming folded his hands together, "It's all my fault, I'll drink this glass of wine on your behalf!"
Ji Su was about to politely decline when a cold voice rang out, "You're going to break the rules of the game?"
Gu Zhao said this to He Yiming, but his dark eyes were fixed on Ji Su's face.
Ji Su pursed her lips and tilted her face back to drink from her glass.
"Brilliant!" Wang Mingzhe slapped the table, "Atmosphere!"
He Yiming could not say anything else, and also picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.
In the second round, the cork of the bottle was pointed at Qiao Jin.
Qiao Jin thought hard for a while and said tentatively, "I ate roasted grasshoppers when I was a kid."
"What?" Wang Mingzhe looked confused, "Roasted grasshoppers?"
"It's one of those grasshoppers, all green with two big eyes!" Qiao Jin gestured, "I've had roasted grasshopper legs!"
The crowd was still wide-eyed, wondering what he was talking about.
Qiao Jin crossed his arms and laughed three times, "Hahaha! I'm going to win this round, look at all of you who haven't heard of it!"
Qiao Jin dodges a bullet and the game continues, this time with the bottle pointed at Gu Zhao.
It's a good time for everyone except Ji Su.
"Gu Gu, it's your turn!" Wang Mingzhe banged the table and coaxed, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, hurry up and break your news!"
Gu Zhao's complexion did not fluctuate, and his thin lips spat out four words, "I had an online relationship."
Ji Su's spine instantly stiffened and he couldn't help but sit up straight.
He thought it would be a difficult thing to say, so why did Gu Zhao say it so easily?
"Cutting ...... is no fun." Wang Mingzhe was disappointed, "Isn't this something we've known for a long time?"
He Yiming, the only one outside the situation: "Huh? What? You all know that Gu Zhao is in love?"
Zhou Yang corrects, "Cybersexed, to be precise."
He Yiming continues to be confused: "What's the difference?"
"The difference is-" Qiao Jin took over, "one is in the progressive tense and the other is in the past tense."
This time He Yiming finally got it, shut up and be amazed.
Wang Mingzhe reclined on the back of the sofa, "Alright, Gu should have won this round."
Zhou Yang : "I've never had an online relationship anyway."
He Yiming : "I don't have one either, something so trendy doesn't suit me."
Qiao Jin, however, is nervous and desperately tries to signal Ji Su with his eyes, "Don't stand out in this round!
Ji Su clenched her teeth and finally reached out towards the glass.
While all these things are free hearted evidence for everyone, having agreed to play the game, it's time to follow the rules of the game.
Gu Zhao's eyes shifted slightly, "I thought you said that you didn't have an online relationship?"
Ji Su drops her eyelashes and softly wisecracks, "I'm saying I haven't met an online scam, not that I haven't had an online relationship."
That's really not a lie, because he was the one who lied in that online relationship.
"This this this ......" He Yiming froze and reconfirmed, "Ji Su, have you really cybersexed?"
Ji Su answered, "Uh-huh."
"So the person you're having an online relationship with is-" He Yiming braked in time in the middle of his sentence and changed the question, "So are you still having an online relationship now?"
Ji Su replied, "No."
He Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good ......"
"No wait-" Wang Mingzhe lifted his hands and started checking his family's name three times again, "Ji Su, when did you have an online relationship? Which school? Is she pretty?"
Qiao Jin rolled his eyes, "Susu has said that he's already broken up with his online lover, and you're still asking so many questions, aren't you poking his scars?"
"Sorry! I was wrong!" Wang Mingzhe manually seals his mouth, "I'll close the mike!"
Ji Su lifted his glass and drained another one.
The lips were soaked with wine, looking more and more crimson and wet, and the tiny lip bead on the upper lip was bright and shiny, looking extraordinarily beautiful.
Gu Zhao's eyes paused on it for several seconds, then raised his jaw and finished the wine in his hand.
Luckily, Ji Su was not punished again until the end of the game, and only drank the first two drinks.
Wang Mingzhe drank the most and was carried upstairs by Zhou Yang and He Yiming, while Qiao Jin cheered them on from the back.
Ji Su was about to get up and go back to her room when the familiar voice rang in her ears, "Ji Su."
He sat back down on the couch, "Can I help you?"
Gu Zhao pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and went straight to the point: "Add a WeChat."
Ji Su was slightly stunned, "Huh?"
Gu Zhao looked at him, "What, it's not convenient?"
"I ......" Ji Su spun her brain urgently, "I left my cell phone in my bedroom and didn't bring it down."
Gu Zhao stood up, "Then go to your room plus."
Ji Su: "......"
It's over, he forgot who the creator of this trick was.
Ji Su could only pretend to touch his pants pocket, "I'm sorry I misremembered, the phone is in the pocket."
Gu Zhao opened WeChat and walked towards him.
"You scan me." Ji Su pulled up his WeChat QR code and flashed his cell phone screen.
He secretly celebrated in his heart, fortunately at first left a heart, deliberately created a small number used to add Zha Nan.
Otherwise, I really don't know how to get through this today.
"With a beep, Gu Zhao scanned the QR code.
Ji Su presses the cell phone screen off and gets up to leave.
Gu Zhao: "Point of agreement."
Ji Su steps up, "I'll agree when we get back to the room."
Gu Zhao gave a laugh, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Didn't you say you wanted to repay me properly?"
Ji Su quickly opened WeChat and clicked on Agree to Friend, her white fingertips nearly rubbing sparks of fire on the phone screen, "Okay, agreed."
Gu Zhao hummed imploringly, "Uh-huh."
Ji Su slipped his cell phone back into his pocket and walked quickly toward the stairway.
He was wearing a pair of white slacks today, which normally looked baggy, but they tensed up as he went upstairs, outlining the curve of his round, firm buttocks, along with the roots of his slightly fleshy thighs as far as they could go.
Gu Zhao just stood behind him and watched him disappear around the corner.
