Your Flavor

Ji Su escapes back into the bathroom, quickly locking the door behind her and leaning against the panel to calm her panicked heartbeat.

He'd never seen Gu Zhao look at him the way he had just now, it was so mean.

Was it because you were so angry because you saw his body in an unprepared situation?

"Duh-duh," came two sudden knocks on the door behind him.

Ji Su, startled, turned away from the glass door and stepped back.

"The clothes you asked for." Gu Zhao's voice came through the door, muffled as if by smoke and fire through a layer of frosted glass.

"No, no need!" Ji Su pressed against the sink, fingers gripping the edge, "I realized that my shirt looks like it could be worn too ......"

If we let Gu Zhao in at this time, will the other party hold him down in the bathroom and beat him up?

There was no movement at the door, and after a while, the tall figure left.

Ji Su breathed a sigh of relief and immediately grabbed his white shirt and pulled it on.

Because of too much nervousness, the slender fingers were a bit shaky, and it took a long time to fasten all the buttons.

After a few more minutes of waiting, Ji Su gingerly opened the bathroom door and was caught off guard by those dark, bottomless eyes.

It turned out that Gu Zhao hadn't gone far, and was waiting for him against the wall around the corner.

"That ......" Ji Su moved out a little, "I've washed up, I'm going to sleep first."

Gu Zhao's thin lips pursed, staring at him with an indescribable look of death.

Ji Su had another heart attack and quickened his pace toward the couch.

Gu Zhao closed his eyes, forcing the flailing beast in his body back into its cage, and stepped into the bathroom with heavy feet.

The steam in the bathroom hadn't cleared, his usual shower gel smelled fresh and nice, the air was humid and hot, and the blood that hadn't calmed down was rushing out of control again.

"With a snap, Gu Zhao closed the bathroom door.

Over there, Ji Su was sitting on the sofa and couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom again.

Gu Zhao, didn't you take a bath before, why are you doing it again?

But Ji Su didn't think much of it, and had planned to watch a study video, but his eyes grew heavier and heavier ......

After losing sleep until most of last night, having a full day of classes today, and being highly strung at all times, I'm physically and mentally exhausted at this point.

When Gu Zhao stepped out of the bathroom again, he saw the man slumped on the couch, asleep.

A pair of long white legs rested on the edge of the couch in a casual, unguarded sleep position.

Gu Zhao walked over and leaned down, his large hot hands pressing against the soft bend of his knees, picking the person up with ease.

"Hmmm ......" The person in his arms cringed a little at the burn, making a kitten-like grunting sound, but not waking up.

Gu Zhao walks over to the bed and places the person on the bed, staring at the pretty face from a leaning position.

If Ji Su woke up right now, his heart would be pounding at the look in his eyes.

After a long time, Gu Zhao slowly straightened up.

One of the first things he learned to do during those years of groping his way through the darkness alone was to endure.

It is like a hungry beast, the more hungry it is, the moment it eats into its stomach, it will also get an incomparable satisfaction.

Until then, he will wait patiently for the moment of enjoying the ultimate.

The next day was Friday, and Ji Su woke up early in the morning to a set cell phone calendar reminder.

Time flies and tomorrow is the day of the midterm.

After breakfast, on the way back to school, Ji Su sent a message to Ji Chen.

Ji Su: [Exams are tomorrow, go for it.]

The opposite party flew back as if they were purposely waiting to hear from him.

Ji Chen: [Okay brother, I'll try my best!]

Ji Su: [Take a good rest and eat a light diet for a few days.]

Ji Su: [Don't be nervous, just play normally at your level.]

Ji Chen: [I know, thanks for your concern!]

Ji Chen: [Brother, you have to take care of yourself when you're out there alone!]

Ji Su: [Okay.]

Ji Chen ：［Oh right, I said before that when I finish the exam I can go to University A to look for you, brother don't forget oh!]

Ji Su: [Well, I didn't forget.]

Gu Zhao glanced at his cell phone screen, "Messaging who?"

"My brother." Ji Su paused slightly, "Half-brother."

"Uh-huh." Gu Zhao responded, asking absently, "How old?"

Ji Su put away her cell phone, "Going to middle school."

After Dad and Mom divorced, it wasn't long before he remarried Auntie Chin, and soon Ji Chen was born.

That's when he learned that hearts are really fickle.

Back at school, the two went to class separately.

Ji Su couldn't tell whether Gu Zhao had recognized the fact that he wasn't Mengmeng after last night's incident, and was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she couldn't help but get entangled again.

"Susu, you're gawking again." Qiao Jin lightly pinched his arm, "If you don't give an honest explanation today, I'll--"

Ji Su came back to her senses and asked hesitantly, "Xiao Qiao, do you think it's possible for a person's aptitude to change suddenly?"

"Huh? Sexual orientation is innate." Qiao Jin paused for a moment and added, "But if the target is you, it's still SO easy to break a straight man."

Ji Su: "......"

"Wait!" Qiao Jin had a flash of insight, "Are you talking about Gu Zhao? Did you bend Gu Zhao?"

Ji Su was surprised by his ability to make the connection, but denied it, "There's no such thing."

Gu Zhao likes Mengmeng, Mengmeng is a girl, how can she be considered broken by him?

"I know my intuition has never been wrong, Gu Zhao is looking at you in a very wrong way!" Qiao Jin became excited, "Schoolmaster Gu Da is so possessive of you that he can't help but deport all living creatures within three meters of you!"

"Where's the exaggeration?" Ji Su sighed helplessly, "Xiao Qiao, don't guess."

"Fine, fine, I won't say anything." Qiao Jin made a gesture of blocking his mouth.

Ji Su was silent for a few seconds and spoke, "Xiao Qiao, I truly consider him a friend."

He cherishes every kindness he receives, and even more so, every person who is kind to him.

"But he may not hold the same thoughts as you." Qiao Jin shook his head and couldn't help but warn, "Anyway, Susu, you'll have to be careful in front of him from now on."

With the kind of character of the Gu Da schoolmaster, if he really sees someone, no matter if it is a man or a woman, he will certainly do whatever it takes to get the other party into his hands.

Ji Su was a bit confused, "How to be careful?"

"Just pay attention to the lower body distance, and try not to show your legs and waist in front of him." Qiao Jin carefully instructed, "Especially the legs, you must not wear shorts or anything in front of him."

Ji Su: "......"

Last night, he seemed to show everything he needed to show ......

"No way." Ji Su winced and chose to stick to her guns, "Gu Zhao is straight, he won't fall for a boy."

Qiao Jin smacked his lips, "Hopefully."

On Friday night, the basketball club had its regular practice, and Ji Su was just glad to have a breather before she was called to the music club by her older sister.

As soon as we entered, we saw the members sitting around in a heated discussion.

"Ji Su, you're here!" The vice president spotted him with sharp eyes and immediately raised his hand in greeting, "Come over here!"

Ji Su walks over, "Is something wrong?"

"Little Susu, you're so smart!" Lin Yan got up to welcome him, "It's the Cultural Festival soon, and our Music Club is going to put out two joint programs with the Dance Club."

"Oh." Ji Su answered, "That's good."

Lin Yan clapped his hands together, "We've talked it over and decided to send you out on a program!"

Ji Su: "Huh?"

"You're the signboard and face of our music club, and for a big occasion like a music festival, you must send out the king bomb!" The vice president laughed heartily from the side, "Let everyone see the strength of our music club!"

"I'm sorry, I don't think I'm suitable." Ji Su thought briefly and explained seriously, "My level of playing the piano is too amateurish for this kind of occasion, I can't hold up the facade of the music club, not to mention--"

"Aiya, little Susu, don't be so modest!" Lin Yan hurriedly interrupted him, "How many of us here can play your favorite piano piece?"

Ji Su was slightly stunned, "That's ......"

"Right, right, right!" The Vice President took over, "The Dance Club just fell in love with the song Look Forward, and they're going to choreograph a dance to that tune to go along with your piano music stage show."

"Okay." Ji Su lowered her eyelashes, "I'll try then."

"Aaaaahhhh that's great!" Lin Yan jumped up and tried to hug him, "I love you, little Susu!"

Ji Su took a step back and only reached out to hold the other's arm, "Hokage, calm down."

"Oh, good!" Lin Yan stood steadily and raised her hand to straighten her bangs, "Then it's a deal, I'll have that girl from the dance club contact you later."

Ji Su responded, "Good."

The group conferred for a while longer and the members dispersed one by one.

Ji Su stayed behind and prepared to practice the piano for a while.

"Little Susu, I haven't seen much of you lately." Lin Yan walked up to him, "I've been forgetting to tell you that I want to find a chance to treat the person who helped me find out about the internet scammer Zha Nan to dinner."

After getting the information, she not only recovered the cheated money, get back the private photos, but also exposed Zha Nan, so that the other party hard social death a hand, do not mention how much relief.

Ji Su politely declined, "No need schoolteacher."

Gu Zhao did a good deed in the first place but didn't want to leave a name, so my sister still doesn't know who that good samaritan really is.

"No way, so mysterious?" Lin Yan didn't feel right and guessed, "It can't be that you've paid for me, right?"

Ji Su: "......"

Gu Zhao, if only things were that simple if he was willing to take his money.

"There really isn't, schoolteacher." Ji Su returned softly, "That incident is in the past, so you shouldn't think about it anymore."

"Well ......" Lin Yan had to give up, "I'll go first then, don't stay up too late practicing."

"Good." Ji Su smiled, "See you later, senior sister."

In the music classroom, he was the only one left.

Ji Su lifted his hands and his white jade-like fingertips landed on the black and white keys.

Unconsciously, the rain fell outside the window, combined with the melodious and pleasant sound of the piano, sounds a lonely and lonely mood.

At the end of the song, Ji Su breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized that there was a gaze behind him.

Turning her head, she saw Gu Zhao standing in the doorway, holding a black umbrella, the tip of which was dripping water onto the floor.

Ji Su froze, "How did you know I was here?"

"It's raining." Gu Zhao puts his umbrella down against the door frame and walks over with a pair of long legs, "I came to bring you an umbrella."

Ji Su's heart tip: "Thanks ......"

At the school gate on every rainy day in the past, he used to look forward to being picked up by someone with an umbrella, just like the other kids.

Later, he learned to check the weather forecast ahead of time himself, or walk back in the rain, or so, without more than a minor illness.

It was the first time that someone had purposely given him an umbrella on a rainy day.

Gu Zhao stops by the piano, "How much longer do I have to practice?"

"I'm practiced." Ji Su raised her eyes, "Gu Zhao, why do you like this song?"

Look Forward is actually a very niche piano piece that many people have never heard of, and he started practicing it by accident when he was a kid, which took years.

Gu Zhao looked at him, a complex emotion he couldn't understand welled up in the bottom of his dark eyes.

After a few moments, Gu Zhao whispered back, "Because of this piano song, accompany me through a very ...... special day."

"So it is." Ji Su nodded, her fingertips gently brushing the keys, "I can understand that, it accompanied me throughout my childhood as well."

"Let's go." Gu Zhao withdrew his eyes, "Go to dinner."

Ji Su stood up, "Wait, I need to talk to you."

He couldn't run away any longer, he had to be open and honest with Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao turned back around, "To say what?"

Ji Su pursed her lips, "Gu Zhao, I really want to be friends with you."

Gu Zhao looked at him, "I know, and then what?"

"Mengmeng may fit your ideal type better, but she doesn't exist." Ji Su tried to look straight into those dark eyes, "You may not be able to forget her for a while, but you'll meet a better girl later."

Gu Zhao took a step closer to him, "Go on."

Ji Su subconsciously stepped back and pressed his hands haphazardly on the keys, making a sound that scared him.

"As you saw last night, I'm a boy, not like a girl at all." Ji Su hardened her heart and continued, "When you saw my body, didn't you think it was very - ah!"

With the unruly sound of the piano, he was again carried by Gu Zhao to sit on the piano.

In an instant, a wave of what happened last time in the music classroom came to mind.

Gu Zhao pinched the thin waist with one hand, while his other large, bony hand pressed the black-and-white keys in turn, unhurriedly.

The crisp sound of the piano turned into some kind of hypnotic symbol.

Zhao Gu slowly withdrew his hand, "Do you know what was going through my head last night when I looked at you?"

Ji Su shakes his head, "I don't know ......"

Zhao Gu leaned in close to his ear and asked in that low, magnetic voice, "And do you know what I did in the bathroom afterward?"

Ji Su's heart skipped a beat, and a vaguely absurd thought jumped out at him.

Gu Zhao sniffed him delicately, "I picked up the clothes you changed out of and they were full of your scent-"

"Don't say it!" Ji Su finally realized and raised her hand to cover his lips without thinking, "No talking ......"

Gu Zhao gripped the slender wrist and removed his hand, his thin lips a little closer to his ear.

The hot breath sprayed on the sensitive earlobes, provoking an unspeakable shiver, and the redness at the tips of the ears spread to the snow-white neck at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His thin spine stiffened, and Ji Su instinctively tried to duck.

In the next second, large hands clasped onto the back of his head, shackling him firmly in place.

Gu Zhao's voice went mute, "And that red dress you wore, it left a faint taste, but just thinking about how you looked in it, I can't contain my excitement ......"

Ji Su's brain went blank: "How can you, how can you ......"

"Now, do you still think I'm straight?" Gu Zhao slowly turned his face back, his hot lips brushing the reddish auricle.

Ji Su shuddered, her body curling up slightly.

Gu Zhao clenched his back teeth, his eyes growing darker and darker.

Just a few words and you're shy into this pathetic look.

If you knew the full thoughts in his head, you'd run away in terror, right?

Unfortunately, where can one escape to?

Gu Zhao drew out a hand and took hold of the thin, white fingers, bringing the tips down with him.

Ji Su was forced to press his heart, feeling like a deer in the headlights in his chest, his heartbeat clearly audible.

"Before I said I liked you, you had already learned how to reject." Gu Gu Zhao spoke word for word, like a devil's whisper, "Then ask your own heart, do you really want to reject me completely?"
