Take it home

Ji Su's feet are delicate and beautiful, the skin of the snow-white instep is very thin, the veins of the blue blood vessels are clearly reflected, the toes are round and small, and the nail caps are lightly pink, like the petals of cherry blossoms.

Gu Zhao grips the skinny ankle and lets his paw rest on his chest.

Ji Su tried to retract his foot like an electric shock, but he was pressed down by a big hand like an iron vice, and stepped all the way down along his firm and full abs.

Ji Su's toes curled and the backs of her feet turned a shameful shade of red.

The tender soles of his feet were gradually tinged with the same heat, becoming hot and soft.

The air conditioning in the bedroom hadn't had time to be turned on, and the temperature continued to climb, both of them sweating hotly.

Ji Su can not break free, self-loathing closed eyes, forehead oozing beads of sweat rolled down, wet and long and dense eyelashes, trembling, look so pitiful.

Gu Zhao Breathing heavier and heavier, the heat in his hands rose higher and higher.

I don't know how long it took, so long that Ji Su's feet went numb, and she could only beg for mercy in a trembling voice: "Gu Zhao ......".

Gu Zhao gasped and leaned in to press up, tightly blocking the open and closed red lips.

Ji Su was like a fish out of water, bouncing in vain, being kissed to the point of oxygen deprivation, not realizing that his hand was being held ......

By the time he came to his senses, his palms were sticky and wet with sweat.

Gu Zhao let go of him and got up to draw some paper.

Ji Su stared blankly at his hand and leapt out of bed.

The soles of his feet touched the ground, and the place where they had been scuffed so hard burned and ached.

Gu Zhao strides around to his side of the bed, picks the man up across the room, and walks into the master bathroom.

He lowered Ji Su to a sitting position on the sink, took his ankle in his large hand and lifted a long, white leg.

Ji Su psyches herself up to his movements and stomps her leg over his chest.

Gu Zhao then pressed down on the foot and laughed dumbly, "I'm not going to mess with you, I'm just going to look at your foot."

Ji Su blushed red and muttered in a small voice, "You are so, so ......"

"Really what?" Gu Zhao took a step back and held his foot to examine it carefully.

The white center of his foot was red, but luckily the skin wasn't broken.

Ji Su tries to pull his leg back but fortunately there's no resistance this time.

He got off the sink and unscrewed the faucet, letting the running water wash over his palms.

As he washed, Gu Zhao hugged him from behind.

Due to his poor size, the man behind him opened his arms so wide that he could almost encircle his entire body.

Gu Zhao squeezed some hand sanitizer and slipped it through his fingers, meticulously washing his hands.

After a few strokes, both hands became so slippery that they could barely hold them, and the hand sanitizer lathered up in a rich white foam.

Ji Su blushed a little more, "That's fine, I'm done washing."

Gu Zhao returned faintly, "It's dirty and needs to be cleaned properly."

Ji Su : "......"

So who the hell just got dirty?

Ji Su shooed the man out and took a shower herself in the bathroom to rinse off the sticky hot sweat.

After showering, he headed for the second bedroom, and Gu Zhao followed him in.

Ji Su turned and advised, "Your bed is bigger and more comfortable to sleep in than mine."

"Got it." Gu Zhao let out a soft laugh, "Go to sleep, I'll be leaving soon."

Ji Su would lie down on the bed with two moist eyes staring at the bedside.

Gu Zhao turned the air conditioner to a temperature suitable for sleeping and leaned down to kiss his forehead again, "Good night."

With an unexpectedly pure kiss on the forehead, Ji Su stared for a moment and whispered back, "Good night."

*

The next morning, Ji Su slept through the night.

After washing up, he stepped out of the shower and Gu Zhao had already made breakfast and was bringing it to the table.

Ji Su walks over, "Let me help you."

Gu Zhao handed him the plate in his hand and lowered his head to drop a kiss on his cheek, "Good morning."

Ji Su curled her lips, "Good morning."

He seems to be used to Gu Zhao landing kisses anytime now, and maybe soon ......

Over breakfast, Gu Zhao asks, out of the blue, "Have you thought about it?"

"Huh?" Ji Su raised her eyes somewhat blankly, "Considering what?"

"Come back home with me." Gu Zhao reminded in a nonchalant tone, "I said yesterday I'd let you think about it all night."

Ji Su reacted without thinking, "How did I have time to think last night?"

Gu Zhao picked up his coffee and took a sip, "So, your reply?"

Ji Su hesitated and asked, "Does your family, do they know you like boys?"

"I don't know." Gu Zhao put down his coffee cup, "I didn't like anyone before you."

Ji Su pursed her lips, "So will they accept me?"

"I know what you're worried about, but you don't have to worry." Gu Zhao looked him in the eyes, "The only elder in my family is my grandfather, and his old man is open-minded and won't interfere in my affairs."

Ji Su's eyes widened slightly, "So your parents ......"

"All gone." Gu Zhao's tone was flat, "I was raised by my grandfather."

Ji Su's heart twitched, an emotion called heartache swept over him, and for a moment he didn't know what words of comfort to say.

He had always felt like the unloved child, but Gu Zhao had lost the possibility of being loved early on.

He couldn't say which was a little more pathetic.

"Don't look at me like that." Gu Zhao laughed, "I'll want to kiss you to death."

Ji Su stood up, walked over to him, and bent down to put his arms around his shoulders.

Gu Zhao's face stalled, and the fingers holding his coffee cup tightened.

Ji Su's voice was not loud, but his tone was unusually firm: "It's okay, I'll love you well in the future."

Gu Zhao slowly pressed his face to the warm heart and heard a somewhat faster heartbeat from within.

After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "So, will you go back with me this afternoon?"

Ji Su couldn't be hard-hearted enough to reject him anymore and agreed, "Okay, I'll accompany you back."

After lunch, Gu Zhao drove Ji Su back to the old mansion.

After about two hours or so, the car pulled onto the Panhandle Highway.

It's summer, and the hills are lush with trees, with a little more coolness that can't be felt in steel and concrete.

Ji Su looked out the window and casually asked, "Did you always live here as a child?"

It's a nice place, but it's too secluded for little kids who love to play.

"No." Gu Zhao put one hand on the steering wheel, "I lived in another place until I was seven."

"Oh." Ji Su answered, not pursuing the question further.

I think I lived with my parents until I was seven, but those good memories were too short-lived.

The car kept going and after turning a corner, it opened up.

Soon, an atmospheric and classical Chinese courtyard villa came into view.

There is only this one courtyard villa in the entire mid-levels, like a paradise in the city.

Although she already knew about Gu Zhao's family history, Ji Su was still a bit shocked by the huge thing in front of her.

The carved outer door opened slowly and Gu Zhao drove a little further before stopping the car.

Ji Su took the lead in opening the door and getting out of the car, opening the trunk and taking out the gifts he had bought on the spur of the moment.

Although the situation was urgent, as a junior's first visit to the door, the proper etiquette should still be done thoroughly.

Gu Zhao moved naturally to take the things in his hand, leaving him only a light gift box, "Let's go."

Ji Su walks and surveys the layout of the courtyard, with its winding paths, small bridges and flowing water, using the elements of Chinese landscaping in the right way.

He couldn't help but be curious, "Did the old man used to come from Jiangnan?"

"No, my grandmother is from Jiangnan." Zhao Gu paused slightly on her feet, "Grandma married far away and was homesick at times, so Grandpa built this Chinese courtyard for her, a one-to-one replica and moved it here."

"Wow ......" Ji Su couldn't help but exclaim, "Your grandpa is so good at putting thought into this, your grandma must be very impressed."

"The men and women of our Gu family are all infatuated." Zhao Gu smiled and said, "The amount of thought I spend on you will only be more and not less."

Ji Su's ears warmed slightly and she bumped him with her shoulder, "This is a public house, restrain yourself."

"Oh?" Gu Zhao glanced sideways, "That's what you call a grandfather?"

Ji Su reacted with hindsight, the tips of her ears turning even redder, "I just called it by name."

"Pretty good." Gu Zhao let out a low chuckle, "Saves you from having to change your tune."

Ji Su: "......"

The two of them walked through the layers of corridors and finally arrived in front of the main hall.

A middle-aged man quickly greeted him, "Young master, you're back!"

"Uncle Li." Gu Zhao nodded in greeting, "Is Grandpa home?"

"Yes, the old master is waiting for you in the front hall." Uncle Li reached out and took the large bag of gift boxes, "I'll carry the stuff, you guys go in quickly."

Ji Su stood in front of the door and took a deep breath.

"No need to be nervous." Gu Zhao held his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze, "His old man is a face controller and will like you."

Ji Su: "......"

What's the time for such jokes?

But Ji Su did relax quite a bit after he interrupted her like that.

Gu Zhao walked into the front room with a stride of his long legs, "Grandpa, I'm back."

Ji Su followed him, and when he looked up, he saw an old man with gray hair, hale and hearty, his back still straight despite the crutches in his hand.

"Back." Elder Gu walked towards them, his gaze landing on Ji Su's face, "And this little friend is?"

Gu Zhao called out, "Ji Su."

Ji Su's brain short-circuited and she blurted out, "Hello Grandpa, my name is Ji Su."

"Good." Elder Gu didn't care about his address and nodded approvingly, "Not bad, I've heard Little Five mention you, and your looks are indeed very iconic."

Ji Su and Gu Zhao exchanged glances and saw a hint of a prompting smile in those dark eyes.

Elder Gu added, "Xiao Wu, take Xiao Ji to the guest room to rest for a while, and come down for dinner later."

"Yes, Grandpa." Gu Zhao answered, leading Ji Su toward the back.

Another long corridor was crossed and up to the second floor, which led to the bedroom area.

Ji Su asked in a small voice, "Gu Zhao, why did Grandpa call you Little Five?"

"Because I have four other cousins above me." Gu Zhao pushed open the door to his room, "You'll meet them later."

Ji Su looks into the bedroom, "Is this your room?"

"Uh-huh." Gu Zhao pushed him into the bedroom, "Are you really going to sleep in the guest room?"

Ji Su turned back, "No?"

"It's okay, but it's not necessary." Gu Zhao lowered his head and kissed him, "Your boyfriend, doesn't want to be alone at night."

Ji Su leaned back to avoid the hot kiss, "The door is still open ......"

Gu Zhao lifted a long leg and kicked it back as the door slammed shut.

As she kissed, Ji Su was pressed into the bed and felt a warm breath.

Although Gu Zhao does not come home often, the family should often change and wash his sheets, and take the covers out to dry in the sun.

"Mmm......" Ji Su whimpered as a not-so-gentle bite was placed on her lower lip.

"Thinking about what?" Gu Zhao rubbed the tip of his nose against his, his voice muffled beyond words, "Kissing me and you have time to wander off?"

Ji Su tried to explain, but before he could get the words out, they were blocked solidly.

Gu Zhao kissed deeper and deeper, the tip of his tongue was almost licking into his throat, and the big hand that pinched the thin waist slid down restlessly, landing on the thigh.

Ji Su was dizzy from the kiss, her hands resting limply on her broad, flat shoulders, and she couldn't tell if she was pushing back or catering.

Just then, there was a soft snap on the door, "Young master, dinner is ready."

Gu Zhao released his glued lips and tongue, stepped back a little, and responded in a muffled voice, "Got it."

Ji Su managed to get some fresh air and took small breaths, her eyes laxed from kissing.

Gu Zhao probed his tongue and licked away the juices at the corner of his lips that he couldn't swallow in time, "Go eat first."
