Chapter 29: Spanking

After this period of time, Ji Su thought she was no longer afraid of Gu Zhao.

But at the moment, with the other man firmly pressed against the sink, that numbing feeling of oppression returned.

Ji Su was forced to look into those dark, dark eyes, his heart beating violently from panic, and stammered out a denial, "No, it's not what I said ......"

"Didn't you say so yourself?" Gu Zhao rubbed his fingertips against the small patch of tender flesh behind his ear, "Like it strong."

"I did say that, but ...... " Ji Su caught the point in her confused thoughts, "I didn't say I like bossy royals."

Wang Mingzhe is the one who summarized it, he didn't say he likes bossy girls.

"Oh, really?" Gu Zhao laughed again, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "And what exactly is your favorite type?"

"I don't know ...... I really just rambled." Ji Su's sanity gradually returned and her head tilted back, "Gu Zhao , can you let go of me first?"

Instead of letting go of him, Zhao Gu tightened his fingers and pressed his face a little closer, "Are you so reluctant to be alone with me?"

Ji Su subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."

Gu Zhao's tone was somber: "I just wanted to have dinner with you and you called in so many people."

Ji Su was slightly stunned, "I thought ...... more people would liven things up a bit."

Gu Zhao gave a laugh, "Do I look like someone who likes to have a good time?"

It was only at this moment, Ji Su reacted with hindsight to what the real reason for Gu Zhao's anger was.

What started out as a dinner invitation turned into a dinner invitation for everyone, as if he wasn't important at all.

"I'm sorry ......" Ji Su softened his voice and his eyes unconsciously softened, "It's because I didn't consider your thoughts, can I treat you alone next time?"

Before Gu Zhao could reply, there was a sudden banging sound behind him.

Immediately afterward, an unfamiliar male voice rang out, "Is anyone there? Why is the bathroom door locked?"

Ji Su was startled, and reflexively reached out to push the person in front of him.

But Gu Zhao was still standing firmly between his legs, his body unmoving.

Ji Su: "......"

Why is that? Is he that weak?

"Gu Zhao." Ji Su got a little anxious and urged in a low voice, "Someone is coming, let go of me!"

Gu Zhao gave him a deep look and let go of his hand to step back.

Ji Su immediately jumped off the sink and tried to go open the bathroom door.

Gu Zhao turned around, crossed over to him in a few giant strides, and snatched the door open.

The middle-aged man standing outside the door froze, "There's someone inside?"

"Excuse me, please use it." Ji Su smiled apologetically and signaled Gu Zhao to get out of here quickly.

The two returned to the elegant room one after the other, just in time to meet the waiter serving the food.

Gu Zhao pulled back his chair and watched Ji Su take his seat before taking one himself.

"Damn!" Wang Mingzhe took a taste of the dish and raved, "Worthy of Gu's strict selection, the flavor is simply amazing!"

Gu Zhao took a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it into the bowl in front of Ji Su: "Try it."

Ji Su softly thanked, "Thank you."

"Yo Yo Yo Yo!" Wang Mingzhe began to perform again, "Brother Gu, why are you only serving Ji Su dishes, I want sweet and sour pork too!"

Gu Zhao glanced at him, "It couldn't be any more delicious to gag you."

"Come on Lao Wang, I'll give you some." Zhou Yang rounded off the conversation and chucked a piece of ribs and sent it over, "How's it, no worse than the one Brother Gu chucked, right?"

Qiao Jin followed suit, "I want it too I want it too!"

The table was full of acquaintances, and the atmosphere was lively and relaxed as we chatted and ate.

Ji Su was too busy to talk as he was being fed by the people around him and never stopped talking.

Gu Zhao reaches out and picks up another piece of tender pig's trotter and puts it in his bowl.

"Enough is enough ...... " Ji Su turned her face and whispered, "It's too much, I really can't eat anymore."

The two men sat close together, shoulder to shoulder, and when he inclined his head it came almost to the side of Gu Zhao's face.

A hint of warm, fragrant breath brushed against his ear, and Gu Zhao's large hands suddenly tightened around his chopsticks, then loosened them as if nothing had happened, putting the pig's trotters into his bowl.

After dinner, seeing that it was still early, Wang Mingzhe suggested that we all go to the bar for a while.

"A bar?" Ji Su asked casually, "Are you guys going for a drink?"

"Going to a bar doesn't necessarily mean drinking, you can also dance and go disco." Wang Mingzhe paused and said in an exaggerated tone, "No way, Ji Su, have you never been to a bar?"

Ji Su : "Well ......"

"Old Wang you got it right, Susu has never really been to a bar hahaha!" Qiao Jin laughs a few times, "Every time I try to drag him to the bar with me, he doesn't go."

"Primary school bully, life isn't only about studying, there are a lot more exciting things." Wang Mingzhe got a bit carried away, and raised his hand to embrace Ji Su, "Just right, join us tonight to see the world!"

As soon as the words fell, a large hand reached out of thin air and knocked his arm down heavily.

Wang Mingzhe let out an "Ow", "Brother Gu! You murdered your own roommate!"

Gu Zhao's eyes went cold, "If you want to go, you go yourself."

Wang Mingzhe only felt a coldness behind his back and couldn't help but shrink his neck, "OK ......"

"Susu, are you sure you don't want to check out the bar?" Qiao Jin didn't pay attention to the exchange between the two and excitedly flung, "Just go check it out, you don't have to drink."

Zhou Yang chimed in, "Yeah, it's safe with us, don't worry about it."

Ji Su didn't want to spoil everyone's fun and responded, "Alright, then I'll go and see the world too."

Gu Zhao frowned slightly and swallowed his words.

"Just the four of us?" Zhou Yang reconfirmed, "Brother Gu, are you sure you don't want to go?"

Gu Zhao: "Go."

"No--" Wang Mingzhe jumped up, "Why did you change your mind again, Brother Gu?"

Gu Zhao: "Any comments?"

"No no, who dares to have an opinion?" Zhou Yang smiled and took over, "Go go go, let's go out and get a cab."

As the group left the elegant room, Ji Su walked quickly to the front desk and spoke politely, "Hello, check out."

"Hello." The front desk lady was all smiles, "May I ask which elegant room is checking out?"

Ji Su reported her name, and the receptionist checked and returned, "Hello, this room has already been checked out."

"Huh?" Ji Su turned back, "Gu Zhao, did you settle the bill?"

Gu Zhao walked up and faintly explained, "I have a VIP card here, and the account is put on the card."

Ji Su frowned slightly, "Didn't we agree that my treat was on me?"

"Next time." Gu Zhao lifted his arm and took the lean shoulder vaguely and headed out, "Next time invite me alone."

Ji Su : "Well ......"

It seems that Gu Zhao really cares about whether or not he was invited to dinner alone, so it's better not to fight with him about this meal.

*

About half an hour later, the group arrived at a nearby bar.

When Ji Su and Gu Zhao walked into the bar side by side, almost everyone around them cast their eyes over them.

Wang Mingzhe skillfully opened a booth and ordered a few more bottles of wine: "It's not crowded yet, it'll get lively later."

Ji Su sat down inside the sofa, and Gu Zhao naturally sat next to him.

As expected, it didn't take long for the bar to get more and more lively.

Wang Mingzhe couldn't wait to get on the dance floor, and Qiao Jin dragged Zhou Yang along with him.

Ji Su, not one to join in the fun, picks up another glass of wine from the table and takes a small sip.

I don't know how this wine was blended, it was sweet in the mouth, contained a light fruity flavor, and wasn't spicy at all to drink.

"Drink less." Gu Zhao warned out loud, "It's not a bad wine."

"Yeah?" Ji Su unconsciously licked her upper lip, "I think it's okay."

The lighting in the bar was dim, but Gu Zhao had excellent eyesight and watched clearly as the tip of a pink tongue probed out and licked the liquor from her lips.

The knot in his throat twitched slightly, and without moving, he withdrew his gaze and leaned over to pick up a glass of wine.

"Hello!" Suddenly a boy with a glass of wine greeted them, obviously heading straight for Ji Su, "Hi there, care to join us for a drink?"

Ji Su was dumbfounded for a moment, "Huh?"

At almost the same moment, a low, condensing voice rang out, "He came with me."

The boy's gaze touched Gu Zhao's cold eyes and inexplicably shivered, "No, sorry to interrupt!"

For the rest of the day, no one else dared to come up and strike up a conversation.

Gu Zhao sat there expressionlessly, one arm resting on the backrest of the sofa behind Ji Su, his posture seemingly careless, but anyone who met his eyes would not be able to help but retreat.

As for Ji Su, who was half-circled in his arms, she was not at all aware of the dark currents around her, happily sipping her sweet wine.

Qiao Jin took an intermission and went back to the booth for a drink, "Susu! Why don't you go dance!"

Ji Su looked up, her cheeks flying red, "But I don't know how to dance ......"

Qiao Jin was surprised, "Susu, are you drunk?"

"No." Ji Su said as she was about to stand up, her form wobbled and she almost fell on the card table.

Gu Zhao's brow jumped and he quickly rose to his feet, raising his hand to catch him steadily.

"Crap! Susu you're really drunk!" Qiao Jin wanted to go up to help, but was killed back by the cold gaze from the side.

Gu Zhao spoke up, "I'll take him back first."

"This ......" Qiao Jin hesitated, "Wait, I'll go back with you guys."

Gu Zhao looked up, "I'm taking him back to my house."

"Huh? Your house?" Qiao Jin's mouth opened wide, and thinking that Ji Su had spent the night at Gu Zhao's house long ago, he could only agree, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Gu Zhao half-supported the man out of the noisy bar and stood on the curb to get a cab.

Ji Su asked in a daze, "Gu Zhao, where are we going?"

Gu Zhao stopped a cab: "Go to my house."

"But ......" Ji Su cocked his head, his tone puzzled, "Isn't there only one bed in your house?"

"Uh-huh." Zhao Gu raised his hand above his head and motioned for him to sit in the car, "The bed's for you."

Ji Su looked at him with bright eyes, "Gu Zhao, why are you so nice to me?"

Gu Zhao raised his lips slightly, "Good to know."

*

The trip back wasn't far, and when the cab stopped at Gu Zhao's neighborhood, Ji Su seemed to still be conscious, but she couldn't walk in a straight line.

Gu Zhao simply wrapped the person in his arms and headed for the elevator.

"It's so hot ......" Ji Su was hot from the wine and struggled uncomfortably in his arms, "Gu Zhao you're so hot, like a little volcano... ..."

Gu Zhao controlled him with one hand, his voice slightly hoarse: "Be good, we'll be home soon."

It was hard to enter the door of the house, Ji Su consciously lay down on the sofa, his sticky tail voice a little hairy: "Gu Zhao, why is the ceiling of your house spinning ah ......"

Gu Zhao walks into the kitchen, opens the refrigerator and takes honey out of it, mixes a cup of honey water and walks over to the couch and squats down, "Drink some water."

Ji Su lifts her upper body and drinks from his hand.

The first time to feed someone water, the two did not work well together, the small half cup of water dripped down the pointed jaw, making the white jade-like neck a wet patch, and even the shirt collar was wet.

Gu Zhao looked at the scene in front of him, and the color of his eyes grew darker and darker.

"No more ......" Ji Su pushed his hand away and raised it to tug at the wet collar, "It's so hard, I want to shower ...... "

With that said and without waiting for a response to be given, he got up from the couch and headed dizzily in the direction of the bedroom.

Gu Zhao got up and followed him to prevent him from bumping.

Despite having been here only once, a drunken Ji Su pinpointed the bathroom and felt her way through the door.

"The bathroom door slammed in Gu Zhao's face with a bang, almost hitting the bridge of his nose.

He narrowed his dark eyes slightly, "Ji Su, are you sure you can shower by yourself?"

Ji Su didn't answer him, and there was no sound coming from the bathroom.

Gu Zhao stood in the doorway for a moment, but finally unscrewed the bathroom door, and when he opened it, he saw the man shrinking pitifully in the tub.

So lean, so thin, with long, slender limbs curled up to take up only a small area, raven-feathered eyelashes twitching uneasily, and shapely eyebrows wrinkled in an uncomfortable-looking way.

Gu Zhao walks over and leans down to pick the man up, but is met with resistance.

"Don't move me ......" Ji Su gripped the edge of the tub with thin fingers, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep ...... "

Gu Zhao lowly coaxed, "Good boy, carry you to bed to sleep."

"No, I want to sleep here!" A drunken Ji Su became a bit petulant and unreasonable, and reached out to hit his hand.

But the force was insignificant, like being slapped by a kitten's cushion of flesh.

Gu Zhao didn't let him be capricious, a big hand fished, directly intercepted the waist to pick up the person from the bathtub.

Ji Su flopped down on his shoulders and struggled, her slender little legs kicking, "Gu Zhao you let go of me, I'm going to sleep in the bathtub-ah!"

"Splat," he said, slapping his big hand on his fleshy ass.

Ji Su froze for several seconds and asked incredulously, "You, you hit me?"

Gu Zhao sat down on the edge of the bed, laid the man across his lap, and shone another slap across the rounded buttocks.

Ji Su had just stomped off her pants in a daze, and now she was only wearing a pair of boxer briefs, and under the thin layer of black fabric, you could clearly see her full buttocks bouncing like jelly.

Even the roots of the snow-white delicate thighs were slightly trembling, and the crimson mole on the side of the leg was hidden.

The touch coming from the palm of his hand was just too good, and visually it was even more enjoyable, Gu Zhao's eyes were so deep that they wanted to drip ink, and his voice was completely mute, "Don't you like to be more domineering?"

Ji Su lies motionless on his lap, as if dazed from the beating.

A few moments later, Gu Zhao finally senses something is wrong and turns the man over.

Those clear, beautiful eyes were full of spring water and shaking.

Gu Zhao, who was always as steady as an old dog, suddenly panicked: "Did I hurt you?"

"You hit me ...... What gives you the right to hit me?" As soon as Ji Su opened his mouth, his voice was thick with tears, "I'm not just pretending to be a girl to trick you into an online relationship, and you're just going to spank me?"

Gu Zhao was so angry and hurt that he asked in a low voice, "You're justified in running away after cheating?"

"It's not like I wanted to, senior sister cried like that and asked me, can I ignore it?" Ji Su reached out and pushed him, big, round tears rolled down, "I also want to refuse other people's unreasonable requests, but after refusing what to do, no one will like me ah ......"

Gu Zhao frowned and took his hand, "Who said that?"

"I thought as long as I was good enough, I thought as long as I did well enough ......" Ji Su's voice became more and more choked, sounding aggrieved to death, "But why did I try so hard... . why do they still not want me ......"

Mom says Susu, be good and she'll come back for you when she's stabilized over there.

Dad says Ji Su, you need to be more obedient so your new mom will like you.

He became a very good and obedient child, expecting and waiting day after day.

But then his mother never came back, and when his half-brother was born, the family was so happy that he became an out-of-place outsider.

Everyone was taking big steps forward, and he was the only one left where he was, in that forsaken childhood.

The tears that flowed down were so big and hot that they hit Gu Zhao's hands one by one and burned his hands so much that they were shaking.

In this instant, it was as if a large invisible hand had clutched his heart so tightly that it hurt so much that he could barely catch his breath.

The feeling was so strange that Gu Zhao wrinkled his brow in death, an ugly expression on his handsome face.

Ji Su raises his hands and covers his face in a small whimper, like a wounded beast licking its wounds alone.

Can't even cry loud enough to let it out.

Gu Zhao slowly removed his hand with incredibly gentle force, his slightly rough fingertips gently wiping his tears, "It doesn't matter, none of them do."

Ji Su lifted his eyelashes, which were wet into clusters, and opened his hazel tearful eyes, apologizing incoherently, "I'm sorry Gu Zhao, I just wanted ...... I just wanted to get a lot of likes, I'm really sorry ...... I didn't mean to ......"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Zhao cupped his face in his hand and mumbled back, "Don't cry ......"

Ji Su was already dizzy, but now she was even more dizzy from crying, so she simply closed her eyes and lay on his shoulder, burying her wet face in the crook of his neck.

The skin on the side of his neck was scalded, and the incredible heat quickly penetrated the surface of the skin, traveling through thousands of capillaries and eventually converging at his heart.

It was as if a crack appeared on the surface of a glacier that had not melted for years, and then that crack split into countless densely-packed crevices at an unstoppable speed.

Until it shattered with a bang.

Gu Zhao lifted one hand, palm stroking the soft hair, and pressed the person firmly against his shoulder.

I don't know how long it took, but the breathing on the side of his neck subsided.

Gu Zhao moved very gently to put the person back on the bed, and gazed at the face with downcast eyes.

Even with all the messy crying, it was still pretty as hell, the nose red from crying and the ends of her eyes red and pitiful, but he still nastily tried to bully the person into being even more pitiful.

"Those irrelevant people, none of them matter." Gu Zhao ruffled the wet, sticky strands of hair from his forehead with his fingertips and murmured, "I'll give you whatever you want."

"And all I want is you."

Not just the body, but the beating heart.

He wants all of Ji Su.
