The bathroom was foggy, the moisture filling every molecule in the air.

Ji Su took a long bath and was cleaned inside and out before being carried back to bed by Gu Zhao.

Almost as soon as he hit the pillow, he closed his eyes, too sleepy to say a word.

Gu Zhao drops his eyes and gazes for an instant at the man beneath him.

Snow-white delicate skin fainted a flushed, long and curled eyelashes wet into a cluster, as was the storm severely damaged butterfly wings, wet red full lips like ripe berries, gently rubbed can burst out sweet juice.

After a long time, Gu Zhao picked up the air conditioner remote control, turned down the temperature a bit, and lay down on the bed himself.

He raised his hand to take Ji Su in his arms, and just as his hand closed over the thin waist, he elicited a physical shudder.

Like a played out mechanical doll that can't be touched.

Gu Zhao chuckled and waited patiently for him to fall into a deep sleep, then took him into his arms and together they slept.

On the morning of the third day, Ji Su woke up determined to block the door with a table tonight.

At this rate, he could die at the hands of Gu Zhao ......

Ji Su lay on her stomach for a moment to slow down and got up to put on her shirt and pants to hide the bruises.

He came out of the bedroom and found Gu Zhao sitting on the couch, tapping away on his laptop.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on the high bridge of his nose, and he looked civilized and ascetic.

Though the man with his shirt off has absolutely nothing to do with the word abstinence ......

Gu Zhao noticed his gaze and raised his eyes, "Did you sleep well?"

"Well, sleep well." Ji Su responded.

Gu Zhao set his laptop aside, "Come here."

Ji Su moved over slowly, "Are you busy?"

"Not busy with anything." Gu Zhao took his hand and pulled it to sit on his lap.

Ji Su takes a light breath, "Hiss ......"

Gu Zhao lowers his head and kisses him, "Still hurt?"

Ji Su blinks her eyelashes, "It's okay."

Although he was tossed around a lot, Gu Zhao's after-sales service also did a good job, and apart from muscle soreness, he didn't really suffer any injuries.

Gu Zhao rubbed his waist with his hot palms and his voice held a smile, "A few more workouts for you and you'll get used to it."

Ji Su shivered in his arms and politely declined, "I don't think that's necessary ......"

Gu Zhao's tone was firm: "It's necessary."

Ji Su skimmed her lips and changed the subject, "I'm hungry."

"Breakfast is ready, go eat." Gu Zhao said and smoothly hugged him as he got up and walked towards the dining table.

After breakfast, the two men went about their own business for a while.

Near lunchtime, Ji Su received a phone call.

He was in the middle of a drawing and pressed the connect button without looking at the caller ID, "Hello."

"I heard Ji Chen say that you've been on vacation for a long time?" Ji Zhenghai's voice came from the other end of the line, "Why didn't you go home on vacation?"

Ji Su stopped moving her hands and returned, "Dad, I got a part-time job for the summer, so I'm staying in school."

"There's nothing to find a part-time job, how much money can you earn?" Ji Zhenghai said in a disgruntled tone, "Are you short of money?"

"I'm not short of money to spend, Dad." Ji Su frowned and patiently explained, "Part-time work is an opportunity for exercise and a foundation for future work."

"What kind of exercise opportunity, do you really plan to build houses on construction sites in the future?" Ji Zhenghai continued to lecture, "Since you're on vacation, at least come back for a few days, or people will think I, Ji Zhenghai, only have one son."

Ji Su's fingers tightened around the cell phone, the knuckles whitening slightly from the exertion.

Eventually, he responded, "Okay dad, I'll be home for dinner tonight."

Ji Zhenghai was satisfied, "That's more like it."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Su sat at his desk for a while, got up and headed out.

Gu Zhao is preparing lunch, his movements unhurried and organized.

Ji Su walks over to him silently and wraps her arms around his waist from behind.

Gu Zhao turned his face, "Hungry?"

"No." Ji Su shook her head, "Tough on Brother Gu Zhao."

Gu Zhao laughed, "Not afraid of me now?"

"I'm not afraid of you ah." Ji Su ear root slightly hot, whispered back, "is ...... is can be a little bit of moderation, fine water long flow well ......"

Gu Zhao looked at him for a few seconds, turned and circled him with his arms and moved in to kiss him.

Ji Su obediently tilted her face up to meet the hot lips.

At the end of the wet kiss, Gu Zhao rested against his forehead and complimented in a slightly husky voice, "Baby is so good."

At lunch, Ji Su said, "Gu Zhao, I'm going home after lunch."

Gu Zhao moved and lifted his eyes, "I'm not getting you tonight."

"It's not that ......" Ji Su pursed her lips, "My dad called me and told me to come home and visit."

Gu Zhao stared straight at him, as if judging the truth of his words.

"Really." Ji Su raised one hand to her ear, "I swear I'm not lying."

Gu Zhao asked again, "When will you be back?"

Ji Su replied back, "I think I'll stay a night or two."

"Good." Gu Zhao lowered his eyes, "I'll drop you off after dinner."

"My house is quite far, it takes two to three hours to drive, and I don't feel comfortable with you driving back when it's dark." Ji Su refused, "It's easy for me to take a taxi back."

Gu Zhao didn't insist, "Got it."

After lunch, Ji Su simply cleaned up.

Gu Zhao stood and looked at him, "Don't bring the computer, you'll be back tomorrow anyway."

Ji Su thought for a moment, "I'd better take it with me, I don't have anything else to do when I get back."

Gu Zhao's gaze traveled down from his face and rested on the long, slender neck.

Ji Su reacted with hindsight and raised her hand to cover her neck, "Are there marks?"

"It's not obvious." Gu Zhao walks over and buttons his white shirt up one, "If your family asks, tell them it's a mosquito bite."

The hickey on Ji Su's neck is really faint, and the main marks are concentrated on her back and legs, and the kissing and biting and pinching is a bit of a disaster.

Luckily, those parts can be covered with clothes and won't be easily noticed.

Ji Su sputters, "Is there a mosquito this big?"

"Why not?" Zhao Gu bent over and took a bite of the smooth cheek flesh, "I'm not?"

Ji Su: "......"

Gathering his things, Gu Zhao took his book bag, "I'll walk you downstairs."

The two stepped into the elevator one after the other, and he pressed the first floor floor, and the doors closed on them.

Ji Su had just turned around when he was grabbed by the waist and lifted upwards to hold him, and in the next second, his lips were gagged.

Gu Zhao kissed him so fiercely that he could barely catch his breath after just ten seconds or so.

"With a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Gu Zhao let go of his hand and turned to walk out as if nothing had happened.

Ji Su followed him, wiping the water stains from her lips with the back of her hand, the tips of her ears red.

Gu Zhao stops a cab at the curb, writes down the license plate number, and pulls open the backseat door.

Ji Su got into the car, "I'm going then."

"Uh-huh." Zhao Gu reached up and cupped his face, "Come back early."

Ji Su responded, "Good."

The master driver stepped on the gas and the cab pulled onto the main road.

Ji Su inadvertently glanced in the rearview mirror and realized that Gu Zhao was still standing in the same spot, watching him leave.

He didn't withdraw his eyes until the tall figure became a small black dot.

He knows Gu Zhao can't let go of him, in fact he can't let go of him either ......

*

The cab pulled up at the gate of the villa area just after five in the afternoon.

Ji Su got out of the car and headed inside.

There was a car parked in front of the house and he pushed open the outer door and walked in, ringing the doorbell.

Soon the house sitter opened the door, "You're back."

Ji Su gave a small nod as a greeting and walked in.

Auntie Chin was sitting in the living room watching TV, and Ji Chen was crooked on the sofa beside her, peeling an orange in her hand.

"Auntie Qin." Ji Su opened her mouth and shouted, "Ji Chen, I'm back."

"Brother!" Ji Chen's eyes instantly lit up as he catapulted up from the sofa and enthusiastically pounced towards him, "You're finally back!"

Ji Su steadied himself, "I haven't seen you in a few days, why do I feel like you've grown taller again?"

"Really?" Ji Chen let go of him and shoved the peeled orange in his hand to him again, "Brother you eat the orange, it's sweet!"

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "No wonder you've been peeling oranges, so it's for your brother."

"Thank you Ji Chen." Ji Su smiled back, "Auntie Qin, I'll go up and clean up first."

"Okay, go ahead." Aunt Qin stood up, "Your father will be back soon."

Ji Su turned around and headed upstairs, Ji Chen followed him and asked, "Brother, how many days are you going home this time?"

"Not for a few days." Ji Su blurted out, "I've got things to do at school."

"Ah ......" Ji Chen was a little disappointed, trailing off, "Brother, you've come back so hard, can't you stay a few more days?"

Ji Su didn't want to say much, "Brought you a present, want to see it?"

"Any more gifts?" Ji Chen was immediately happy again, "What kind of gift?"

Ji Su pushed open the door to his room, "I'll bring it to you later."

Upon entering, the smell of dust hit my nose.

"Ahem ......" Ji Chen coughed twice, "What's with all the dust?"

Ji Su walks to the window, pulls back the curtains and opens the window to let the fresh air flow in.

Since he hadn't been home for so long, his room hadn't been cleaned, and the sheets were dusty.

Ji Chen frowned, covered his nose and said, "Brother, let's go out first and have Zhang Ma come in to clean up."

"It's fine." Ji Su put down her book bag, "You go out first, I'll just change the sheets."

"Okay then." Ji Chen headed for the door and turned back, "Brother, remember to give me my gift!"

Ji Su tidied up his room just as it was time for dinner.

He walked down the stairs and saw Ji Zhenghai sitting at the main table, with Auntie Qin and Ji Chen sitting on either side of him, a happy family of three talking and laughing.

Ji Su had seen this scene many times before, and he stood looking at the stairway for a few moments before retracing his steps.

Auntie Chin was the first to spot him, "Susu you're down, come sit."

Ji Zhenghai's smile tightened on his face as he asked, "When did you get back?"

"Dad." Ji Su walked over and took the seat across from him, "Just got back not long ago."

"Your Aunt Qin and brother miss you all day long, but you don't miss home at all." Ji Zhenghai said with a stern face, "When I come back, I have to invite you three times and four times."

Ji Su doesn't say anything and listens in silence.

"Susu, don't listen to your father, he's the one who usually talks about you the most." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Auntie Qin warmly rounded up the situation by saying, "By the way, Susu even brought a gift for Ji Chen when he came home."

"Yeah, dad." Ji Chen interjected, "My brother bought me my favorite hand puppet, who says my brother doesn't miss me in his heart?"

Ji Zhenghai's face cleared up slightly, "Alright, let's eat first."

The table was full of food, extremely sumptuous, but Ji Su was a bit lost for a moment.

There was seafood on the table that he couldn't eat, parsley that he didn't like, and the only thing that wasn't on the table was a dish made to his taste.

In fact, after so many years, he should have gotten used to it by now, but all this time he has been staying at Gu Zhao's house, the table has always been set with his favorite dishes.

So this meal tonight became unbearable for him.

Ji Su lowered her eyelashes and took a chopstick of the vegetable closest to her.

"Oh no!" Ji Chen was peeling a crayfish when she suddenly stopped and looked at Ji Su, "I forgot to tell you guys, my brother is allergic to seafood!"

"Seafood allergy?" Ji Zhenghai looked surprised, "When did this happen?"

Ji Su faded back, "Always."

The atmosphere at the table fell silent, and Aunt Qin said with some embarrassment, "Next time Susu comes back, tell Zhang Ma not to cook seafood."

"He's allergic to seafood, so you all can't eat it?" Ji Zhenghai disagreed, "This table is full of food, just eat something else instead of seafood."

This time Ji Su didn't answer, and took a piece of braised pork ribs for himself.

Ji Zhenghai face ugly up, Aunt Qin timely digress, "By the way Lao Ji, last time you said ......"

Despite not having much of an appetite, Ji Su sat at the table and waited until Ji Zhenghai put down his chopsticks before getting up and leaving the table, "Dad, Auntie Qin, I'm done eating, I'll go upstairs first."

"You're tired from riding the car home today, aren't you?" Aunt Qin said in a concerned tone, "Quickly go back to your room and rest and relax."

Ji Zhenghai wanted to say something but didn't, only waved his hand, "Go."

Ji Su goes back to her room, sits at her desk and sends a message to Gu Zhao.

It was like the opposite party had been waiting for his message, and it came back almost in seconds.

Gu Zhao: [Can you pick up the phone?]

Ji Su didn't reply and dialed his number directly.

"Two beeps later, the phone was connected, and a low, magnetic voice reached his ears, "Have you eaten dinner yet?"

Ji Su plops down on the table, "Eat."

"Really ate?" Gu Zhao heard the strangeness in his voice, "Did something happen?"

Ji Su inexplicably felt a little aggrieved: "Really ate, just did not eat enough."

Gu Zhao asked, "Dinner not to your liking?"

"Yeah." Ji Su whispered back, "It's not as good as yours."

"Of course." Gu Zhao paused briefly, "Send me the address, I'll order you a takeout and make you a nice meal when I get home tomorrow."

"It's so late now and I don't feel like eating." Ji Su straightened up, "And I have snacks in my bag."

"Then you eat a snack to pad out." Gu Zhao whispered, "You won't be able to sleep if you're hungry."

"I know." Ji Su smiled, "Don't worry, I'm such an adult, I won't starve myself."

Gu Zhao whispered back, "I'm not comfortable with you not being under my nose."

Ji Su's heart was hot and soft, "What did you have for dinner?"

"Casually ate some." Gu Zhao was deliberately miserable, "I can't eat without you."

Ji Su was a bit upset, "That's not good, you have to eat well even if I'm not here."

The two chatted for a while longer when Gu Zhao suddenly asked, "Turn on the video, I want to see you."

"Is it okay to open it later?" Ji Su consulted with him, "I want to take a shower first."

Gu Zhao was silent for a few seconds and slowly returned, "You take your shower, it doesn't interfere with turning on the video."

"Huh?" Ji Su was a little confused, "You're going to watch me shower?"

Gu Zhao laughed, "I've washed you myself, why can't I look?"

Ji Su's cheeks heat up, "I don't want it."

It was said to have been washed together, but it was all in his unconscious state.

Besides, it's really weird to turn on a video and show someone his shower ......

"Then let's turn on the video and wash it together." Gu Zhao coaxed in a low voice, "I'll show you too, so you don't lose out."

Ji Su: "......"

Why does that sound like it makes sense?

Gu Zhao called, "Baby?"

Ji Su whispered back, "But I'm shy ......"

"Okay." Gu Zhao didn't continue to push him, "Then you go ahead and wash it, and then turn on the video afterward."

Ji Su hangs up the phone and rummages through her clothes to take a shower in the bathroom.

Because he had the video on his mind, he washed faster than usual and hurriedly put on his pajamas afterward and came out, not even having time to dry his hair.

Ji Su sat cross-legged on the bed, opened WeChat, and dialed the video call.

A few seconds later, the video connected and a handsome face appeared in the cell phone screen.

Gu Zhao had only just gotten out of the shower, too, and her damp frontal hair rested on her brow, smelling wet and sexy.

Ji Su's mood swept away and she greeted him with an arched eyebrow, "Good evening."

"Good evening." Gu Zhao answered, and the camera shifted twice, disliking the firm, full pecs, the bean-sized droplets of water that were rolling in the grooves of his abs.

Ji Su's eyes widened slightly, "Why aren't you dressed?"

Gu Zhao laughed, "How do you know I'm not dressed?"

With that said, the camera continued to move downward again.

Ji Su subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, "Why are you like this!"

Muffled laughter came from his cell phone, and he felt cheated and couldn't help but part his fingers and peek his eyes open through them.

Gu Zhao was wearing pants, gray sweatpants stuck loosely around his crotch that seemed to have been deliberately pulled down a bit, revealing not only a nice mermaid line, but even a raised bruise and a bit of ......

The blush on Ji Su's face spread to her neck in a flash.
