Sharing a bed

How long is it to give you a little more time?

Why should I give you a moment?

What are you afraid of, what are you hesitating about?

Gu Zhao had too many questions that he wanted to ask clearly, but when he met those pitiful eyes, he could only clench his back teeth and swallow back all the forced words.

It's only a matter of time. Isn't patience the best thing he can do?

Gu Zhao took a deep breath, raised his arms, and pressed the man back into his arms.

Ji Su obediently pressed her cheek against his chest and didn't struggle any more.

Time seems to stand still in this moment, only two people tightly embracing each other, the sound of heartbeat slowly merged into one.

Until a cell phone rang, breaking the silence.

Ji Su stepped back, the blush on her face fading quietly at the sight of the caller ID.

Gu Zhao frowned, "Who's calling?"

"It's my brother." Ji Su simply replied, answered the phone, "Hello, Ji Chen."

"Brother! I'm at the entrance of your school!" Ji Chen's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Come out and pick me up!"

"Good." Ji Su answered and instructed, "Stand at the door and don't run around, I'll be right there."

After hanging up, he explained to Gu Zhao, "My brother finished his midterm exams and came over to play with me."

Gu Zhao looked at him, "I'll go with you."

Ji Su asked politely, "Don't you have anything else to be busy with?"

Gu Zhao: "No."

Ji Su reminded, "My brother talks a lot, so you don't have to stay with me if you're not used to it."

"It's fine." Gu Zhao's expression remained unchanged, "Can you out-argue Wang Mingzhe?"

Ji Su just let him be, "Okay then, we'll go together."

Soon, the two of them walked together to the entrance of the school.

Ji Su's heart was a little complicated when she saw the familiar yet strange figure from afar.

In fact, he and Ji Chen look nothing alike, Ji Chen and Ji Zhenghai are carved from the same mold, while he looks more like his mother, the two walk outside, almost no one will recognize them as a pair of brothers.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Ji Zhenghai prefers his youngest son.

"Brother!" Over there, Ji Chen spotted him with a sharp eye and ran towards him quickly, hugging him in a bear hug as he got closer, "I've missed you so much, brother!"

Gu Zhao's face sank, and the hand hanging at his side tightened, forcibly restraining himself from making a move to carry the person away.

Ji Su patted his brother's shoulder, "Okay, let go of me first."

Thirteen or fourteen year old teenager, just the age of growing up, the two of them from the last time they met only past half a year, Ji Chen now even only half a head shorter than him.

Ji Chen hugged him for a few more seconds and reluctantly let go, his dark eyes glued to his face, "Brother, haven't you lost a bit of weight lately?"

"Not thin." Ji Su asked softly, "How did you get here?"

"Uncle Zhang drove me over, the person just left." Ji Chen skimmed his mouth, "I said I'd just come over by myself, but my mom wasn't worried, I'm not a kid anymore."

Ji Su returned warmly, "Auntie is also worried about you."

Ji Chen was about to go on spouting off when he suddenly noticed a particularly tall stranger standing next to him and immediately asked, "Brother, who is he?"

"He's Gu Zhao, he's my-" Ji Su met those dark, dark eyes and continued the introduction, "a friend of mine."

Gu Zhao repeated with a smirk, "Friend?"

"Oh, so you are my brother's friend!" Ji Chen didn't think much of it and casually asked, "So are you studying architecture too?"

Gu Zhao is a gold standard: "No."

Ji Su helpfully returned, "He's a law student."

"Wow! Law students are great!" Ji Chen exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, adding, "Of course in my heart, the most powerful one is always my brother!"

"Thanks." Ji Su smiled, "It's not time to eat yet, I'll take you into the school for a stroll first."

"Yeah yeah yeah!" Ji Chen gleefully took his arm, "Let's go brother!"

Gu Zhao's gaze fell on that hand, only to find it very obtrusive, and his face sank a bit more.

The three of them walked side by side towards the school, and all the way Ji Chen was chattering endlessly, talking about the midterm she had just finished and the interesting things that happened to her at school, without stopping for a second.

Ji Su listened quietly, occasionally picking up a word or two without the slightest hint of impatience, but without excess enthusiasm either.

Like a lake of calm water, it gently holds everything that is thrown into it.

After walking around the campus, Ji Su was ready to take Ji Chen out for dinner.

"Why don't we just go to the private restaurant we ate at last time." Gu Zhao faintly suggested, "Didn't you like his food?"

"Huh? Chinese food?" Ji Chen wasn't too happy about it, "I'm tired of eating Chinese food at home, can we go get something fresh?"

Ji Su asked for his opinion, "So what do you want to eat?"

"Hmmm ......" Ji Chen thought hard for a moment, "Seafood it is! I'm craving hairy crabs!"

Gu Zhao looked over at him and asked coldly, "Don't you know your brother has a seafood allergy?"

"Ah?" Ji Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide and said with a look of surprise, "Brother when did you have a seafood allergy, how come I don't know?"

Ji Su was silent for a few seconds and nodded and admitted, "Yes, I'm allergic to seafood."

I just didn't realize that he only mentioned it once casually and Gu Zhao remembered it.

Ji Chen was very puzzled: "But we cook seafood at home all the time, why don't you even say anything?"

"It's nothing." Ji Su said in a calm tone, "I'll just eat something else."

It wasn't actually unspoken, he had a seafood allergy once when he was a kid and people were sent to the emergency room, except no one remembered it after that.

"I won't eat seafood then." Ji Chen learns from his mistake, "Let's just go eat at that Chinese restaurant!"

Ji Su was about to tell him not to accommodate himself when his shoulder was suddenly grabbed.

Gu Gu turned around with his arms around him, "Let's go."

Ji Chen looked at the two of them leaning closely together and was a little less than pleased, striding after them, "Brother, wait for me!"

*

This private restaurant does a great business and you usually have to make reservations in advance, but Gu Zhao enjoys a bit of a privilege as a VIP here.

After ordering and in between waiting for the food to be served, Ji Chen started to find the topic again, "By the way brother, did you get a girlfriend in college?"

Ji Su sipped his tea with a flourish, "No."

Gu Zhao sat beside him, his long fingers twirling the tea cup with one hand, his eyes always on his face.

Ji Chen pursued, "So do you have a favorite?"

Ji Su's eyelashes twitched and she said perfunctorily, "You're a little kid, it's not your place to ask."

Ji Chen protested, "I'm not little brother, I'm going to be in high school soon!"

Gu Zhao spoke absently, "I'm actually curious about that."

Ji Su orthochromatic: "This is not something you two should be concerned about."

Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Really?"

It was a good thing the waiter walked in at that moment, easing the slightly tense atmosphere in the elegant room.

There was a large table of food, except for two dishes that Ji Chen had ordered himself, the other dishes were all Ji Su's favorites.

Gu Zhao took care of him like nobody's business by serving him food and picking his bones, including pouring juice.

Even Ji Chen, sitting across the table, vaguely sensed something was wrong.

While Gu Zhao was walking away, he couldn't help but go over to him and ask, "Brother, are you and Gu Zhao very close?"

Ji Su 莫名有有点心虚："Why do you ask?"

"It just feels like he takes special care of you." Ji Chen draws an analogy, "That's how my mom seems to take care of me."

Ji Su imagined it and couldn't hold back his laughter.

Ji Chen means that Gu Zhao looks like his mom?

Male mom?

As he was laughing, Gu Zhao appeared in the doorway, looked at him coolly and asked, "What's so funny?"

Ji Su tried to collect his smile, "It's nothing ......"

Ji Chen also withdrew his voice and honestly sat back to his position.

Although this Gu Zhao brother is very nice to his brother, he still looks a bit scary, especially when he is cold.

After dinner, the three of them went to the nearby shopping street for a while.

Ji Chen is usually very tightly controlled at home, so it's not easy for her to come out after the exams, and she finds everything new and exciting, and wants to buy everything she sees.

Walking up to a store selling ice cream, Ji Su paused slightly and looked into the store.

Gu Zhao noticed the look in his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Want some ice cream?"

"When I was a child, my health was not good and my intestines were especially weak, so I couldn't even eat ice cream." Ji Su replied, "Then once, I secretly bought several ice creams and ate them all in one sitting, then I was hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis."

"How can ice cream be a meal?" Gu Zhao pinched his cheek gently, "I'll go get it for you, but only one bite."

Ji Su shook his head, "Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"No waste." Gu Zhao let go of his hand, "I'll eat the rest."

He walked into the store and came over a few minutes later with an ice cream.

Ji Su looked over to the matcha ice cream in his hand and took the spoon and scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

With the hot weather, ice cream brings a cool refreshing sensation as soon as it enters your mouth.

Squeezing the spoon, Ji Su raised her eyes expectantly and asked, "Can I have another bite?"

Gu Zhao laughed, "One more bite and I'll be charging interest."

Ji Su puts down the spoon nostalgically, "Alright then."

Gu Zhao, however, took another spoon and scooped up a large spoonful, handing it to his mouth, "Open your mouth."

Ji Su immediately opened her mouth and took another big bite of ice cream.

The tip of her crimson tongue poked out and licked the white milk stain at the corner of her lips with intent, leaving a watery trail on her rosy lips.

Gu Zhao's throat twitched slightly as he reached out with his large hand and swiped his thumb at the corner of his lips where he hadn't licked the ice cream clean.

Ji Su held his hand for a second and raised it to wipe it himself, "Is there more?"

"Nope." Gu Zhao withdrew his eyes and dug into his ice cream with the same spoon.

He didn't like sweets, the ice cream was too sweet for him, and at this point he was eating it bite after bite.

Ji Su's ears reddened and she wanted to remind him to change the spoon, but was too embarrassed to say more when she saw that he had already eaten.

"Brother! Come here!" Ji Chen jumped up in front of him and waved, "There are so many blind boxes here!"

Ji Su answered, "Coming."

After shopping, Ji Su plans to find a hotel nearby and get a room.

"Hello, I'd like a standard room." Ji Su stood in front of the hotel front desk, "I'm staying with my brother for two."

Gu Zhao wrinkled his brow, "You're staying at a hotel too?"

"Uh-huh." Ji Su nodded, "He's still underage, I don't feel comfortable letting him stay in a hotel alone."

Gu Zhao pulled a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the counter, "Get a business twin room."

"Yes, sir." The front desk lady was full of smiles, "Please wait for a moment."

Ji Su refused, "I have money, I don't need you to pay."

"Think of it as me entertaining your brother." Zhao Gu lifted his hand and squeezed the back of the soft neck, "Not to mention, what's mine is yours."

Ji Su blushed and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

After getting a room, the three of them took the elevator upstairs together.

Ji Su opens the door to her room with her room card and Ji Chen walks in first, dropping herself onto the large bed, "Ah! Comfortable!"

This business twin room was spacious and had a balcony, and the setting looked great.

Ji Su walked over to the table to charge his cell phone, turned his head and said, "Gu Zhao, make yourself at home."

Gu Zhao sat down on the sofa, casually unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips.

"Brother I'm all sweaty, go take a shower first." Ji Chen got up from the bed and unzipped his backpack to look for clothes.

Ji Su turned and leaned against the edge of the table, "Go ahead."

Ji Chen walked into the bathroom with her clothes, and then there was the sound of water clattering.

Ji Su looked at the time, "It's getting late, are you going back to school or home tonight?"

"I'm not going back anywhere." Gu Zhao put up a pair of long legs, "I'll sleep here tonight."

"Huh?" Ji Su was confused, "You're going to sleep here?"

Gu Zhao looked at him, "You think I'd leave you alone and sleep in a room with someone else?"

Ji Su tries to reason with him, "It's no one else, it's my half-brother."

Gu Zhao was not impressed, "Neither is my own brother."

Ji Su: "......"

Gu Zhao tapped his fingertips on his knee, "I can sleep on the couch."

Ji Su: "Don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa?"

Gu Zhao: "Don't think so."

In the end, Gu Zhao stayed on as long as he wanted.

Ji Su finished her shower, leaned back and sat on the end of the bed, and talked to Ji Chen for a while.

After all, he is still a teenager. Ji Chen had a crazy day today and fell asleep while talking.

Ji Su closed her voice and picked up her cell phone to send a message to Qiao Jin.

After a moment, the bathroom door opens and Gu Zhao steps out, dripping with moisture.

He wore a white bathrobe with the belt loosely tied, exposing his pecs and abs in a big way, and beads of water continued to roll down his lean, toned muscles.

Ji Su only took one look and quickly moved his eyes away.

Gu Zhao lie to the sofa, due to the height and length of the legs, the small half of the legs are empty, simply put down to support the floor, how to see how to suffocate.

Ji Su pursed her lips, but in the end, she still couldn't bear it and softly called out, "Gu Zhao, you come up to sleep too."

Gu Zhao sat up on his upper body, "Are you sure?"

Ji Su silently moved towards the bed, picked up his pillow again, and placed it in the center of the bed.

Gu Zhao walked over and asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?"

"Demarcation line." Ji Su manually gestured a boundary, "Neither of us is allowed to cross it."

Gu Zhao gave an imploring laugh and lay down on the other side of the bed.

The soft mattress collapsed, and Ji Su felt a jolt of emotion as she moved a little further to the side.

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Zhao spoke salaciously, "It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Ji Su is a little embarrassed, "I don't have ......"

It wasn't the first time he'd shared a bed with someone else, but this time he was extra nervous, his breathing was clearly audible in his ears, and he could even feel the heat transferring from that body.

Ji Su closed her eyes and tried to empty her brain of the jumble of thoughts trying to brew sleep.

I don't know how long it took for sleep to finally invade him, but he rolled over in a daze, his outstretched calf catching on something hot.

In the next instant, a large, hot hand gripped the slender, straight calf.

Ji Su shivered and was instantly sobered up by the heat: "Gu Zhao what are you doing ......"

The trailing sound transformed into a whisper that disappeared between his lips.

Slightly rough fingertips brushed against the warm, soft, slippery flesh of his leg in a not-so-gentle manner, as if a tiny electric current had crackled across the surface of his skin and fried his scalp.

Ji Su couldn't bear the thought of pulling her legs back, her whole body shrinking towards the edge of the bed.

However, the large hand wrapped itself around his waist again and scooped him back up.

"Gu Zhao!" Ji Su was ashamed and annoyed, "What the hell do you want-"

"Shhh ......" Gu Zhao drew out his other hand, palm over his open and closed red lips, and asked in an extremely sexy breathy voice in his ear, "Do you want your brother to find out?"

At that exact moment, Ji Chen in the next bed rolled over and muttered something in his sleep.

Ji Su shuddered and was instantly silenced.
