Ji Su's legs were already extremely long, and the high-cut cheongsam opened right up to her waist, revealing a pair of white and straight legs along with her round and full buttocks.

That little bit of poor fabric can't cover anything at all, but on the contrary, it is so hidden, hooking people's eyes red.

Ji Su is so ashamed that she is almost smoking, her hot red cheeks are buried in the nest of Gu Zhao's neck, her legs are twisted tightly, and her long, thin fingertips are tugging at the hem of the cheongsam in a futile attempt to cover up a little more.

Gu Zhao reached out, grasped the slender wrist, and removed his hand without refusal.

The fingertip lightly tapped the crimson mole on the side of his leg, reflecting in his dark eyes, the bottom of his eyes seemed to be colored with a layer of red.

"Gu Zhao ...... " Ji Su winced under his hand, trying to say something but he cut her off.

Pressing his fingertips against the red mole with a little more pressure, Gu Zhao's voice was muffled, "Baby, why don't you call your husband?"

Ji Su, having suffered from this, dared not scream again, and could only ask pitifully, "The birthday gift has been given, can you take it off now?"

Gu Zhao didn't say yes or no, pinching the thin, narrow waist and dropping into a sitting position on his lap.

Ji Su went cold at the bottom, his palms braced against his hard pecs at a loss for words.

Gu Zhao held the hot earlobe and whispered low and deep in his ear.

All of a sudden, the blush on Ji Su's face spread all over her body, and even her curled toes were flushed with a light red.

In the late fall night, a light rain fell outside the window at some point.

A few moments later, the drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential downpour that crackled on the window sills and made one's heart skip a beat.

A flash of lightning broke through the dark night sky, illuminating the mess inside, followed by a rumble of thunder that muffled all sounds in the dead of night.

The entire reinforced concrete city was bathed in heavy rain, and after just one night, the land was soaked through with rainwater and became loose and soft.

If the seeds are sown at this time, even in late fall, the earth will be full of delicate flowers.

*

Ji Su slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up.

Gu Zhao was not on the bed, he opened his red eyelids from crying, looked around, and his eyes touched the cheongsam that was thrown beside the bed.

No, what was on the ground could no longer be called a cheongsam, it was just a pile of torn fabric with all sorts of suspicious marks on it.

Memories of last night's madness flooded his mind and Ji Su buried his face in the pillow, the tips of his ears red with blood.

In the second half of the night he was pinned to the landing window, driven to the point of collapse, only crying and calling out "husband" over and over again to try to please the man behind him.

But Gu Zhao simply did not keep his word, and not only did he not let him go, but ......

"With a creak, the door to the room was gently pushed open from the outside.

Ji Su subconsciously raised his face and crashed into a pair of dark eyes before burying himself back into the pillow.

Gu Zhao walks inside the bedroom, walks to the bed with his long legs and sits down, "Is there anything wrong?"

Ji Su doesn't want to talk to him and quietly moves a little to the side.

Gu Zhao let out a low chuckle and reached out to touch the shoulder that was exposed under the covers, "Angry again?"

Ji Su shuddered and pulled the covers up over her head.

Gu Zhao hugged him through the quilt, his low magnetic voice filled with the insatiable feeling of having eaten and drunk, "Baby, yesterday was the most unforgettable and happiest birthday I've ever had."

Ji Su was quiet for a few seconds and peeked out from under the covers, "Really?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse.

Although Gu Zhao fed him water several times last night, he couldn't stop crying and screaming, it was too much for his voice.

"Really." Gu Zhao took the opportunity to cup his face and kiss his eyes and then the tip of his nose, "I'd be a dog to lie to you."

"You're the dog." Ji Su stared into watery eyes, "You really like biting me too much."

He didn't have to look to know how badly the legs, hidden under the covers, had been disfigured.

"Well, like you too much." Gu Zhao continued to kiss him on the lips, his voice sounding inexplicably shady, "Like you so much that I like you enough to want to eat you."

Ji Su's heart trembled at the tip: "Are you, are you serious ......"

"Don't worry, I won't really eat you." Gu Zhao laughed again, "There's only one Baby, if you eat it, it's gone."

"Gu Zhao!" Ji Su was so angry that she raised her hand and punched him, "Why are you saying such things to scare me!"

"Scared?" Gu Zhao took the hand and rubbed it against his lips, "Do I look that sick?"

Ji Su : "A little ......"

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just a little?"

Ji Su didn't feel like answering anymore and drew back her hand, burying her face in the covers again.

"Okay, no more teasing." Gu Zhao asked, "Hungry?"

Ji Su urn returned, "Hungry."

Gu Zhao was picked up with the blanket, carried into the bathroom, and placed on the sink to sit.

He skillfully picked up the toothbrush, squeezed out the toothpaste and shoved it into Ji Su's mouth to help him brush his teeth.

Ji Su's hands were wrapped in the quilt and she was too lazy to pull them out, so she simply opened her mouth and let him manipulate her.

Neat white teeth hide a red tongue, the tip of which occasionally peeks out, touches the toothbrush and retracts, and the white toothpaste foam gradually fills the mouth.

Gu Zhao's eyes were downcast, their long, straight lashes hiding the color of the eyes.

After brushing his teeth, Ji Su spat out the foam and rinsed his mouth with water.

Gu Zhao lifted his pointed jaw and moved over to kiss him, commenting afterward, "Very sweet."

Ji Su: "......"

After lunch, he lounges on the couch and reads a book, while Gu Zhao sits beside him tapping away on his computer.

The living room is well lit with a full expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the warmth of the sunlight pouring in on a fall afternoon warms you up.

Ji Su stretches and tries to change her position, but she accidentally pulls on an overused area and can't help but suck in a breath.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhao moved, picking up the computer in his lap and setting it aside, reaching out to gather the person into his arms, his hands gently pressing and rubbing.

Ji Su leaned in his arms for a while to slow down, and suddenly thought, "Gu Zhao, how about we get a cat?"

Gu Zhao lowered his head, "What's with the cat all of a sudden?"

"Look, I can't have children, so if it's just the two of us in the house in the future, won't it seem a bit empty?" Ji Su said seriously, "Get a cat as our child, and in the future if we want to separate, we should at least consider--"

Gu Zhao frowned, "What did you say?"

Ji Su patiently repeated, "I say get a cat that can be our child."

Gu Zhao pinched his face, forcing him to look directly at him, "The latter."

"Huh?" Ji Su blinked her eyelashes and explained in a small voice, "I meant in case, in case we-"

"There are no eventualities." Zhao Gu's eyes sank like melted ink and he said, almost word for word, "We will never be separated."

Ji Su's heart went soft, and a sweetness flooded back, like she had eaten a snort of sugar.

Still, he deliberately asked, "What if one day you don't like me anymore?"

"No." Gu Zhao stared at him for an instant, "Unless I die."

"So what if ......" Ji Su asked again, "I don't like you one day?"

Gu Zhao's grip on his fingers tightened abruptly, so hard that his knuckles whitened slightly.

Ji Su eats pain: "Ouch ......"

Gu Zhao loosened his grip and returned in an unspoken tone, "Then I'll hide you and chain you to my bed so that all you'll know how to do day and night is cry and beg for me underneath me-"

Ji Su raised his hands over his ears, "I don't want to hear it."

He had a hunch that Gu Zhao might actually do such a thing; after all, on the day of his confession, Gu Zhao had said there was no breakup.

It was just that for him, liking someone was also a lifelong thing, so he didn't feel scared at all.

Gu Zhao laughed and his tone returned to normal, "Okay, no more."

Ji Su tilted her face up in his arms, "The subject is all over the place, let's get back to getting a cat."

"Uh-huh." Gu Zhao tickled the soft flesh of his chin with his fingers, "Did you just say that you can't have children?"

"Yeah." Ji Su's cheeks blushed slightly, "I'm a boy, I can't give you children."

"Yes?" Gu Zhao's large hand traveled down and pressed against the thin stomach, "Why, then, does it sometimes bulge here?"

"Why are you doing this again!" Ji Su was so angry that she wanted to bite him, "Can you say something serious?"

"Okay, let's be serious." Gu Zhao returned in all seriousness, "It's my fault you can't have kids, I'm not trying hard enough."

Ji Su: "......"

Before he could get mad, Gu Zhao changed the subject back just in time, "You can raise it if you want to."

Ji Su was really like a deflated ball, crooked in his arms, "You agree?"

Gu Zhao laughs, "Even though I already have a kitten, I wouldn't mind getting another one."

"When did you raise it?" Ji Su was a little confused, "Where did you keep it?"

Gu Zhao pinched the flesh of his cheek and said with a wry smile, "Guess?"

Ji Su reacted with hindsight and opened his mouth to bite the hand.

"Tsk ......" Gu Zhao not only doesn't duck, but shoves his fingers into his warm mouth, "Kitten bites."

Ji Su held his finger and spoke in a slightly slurred voice, "I'm not a kitten ......"

Gu Zhao took the soft tongue between his fingers, stirred it twice, and leaned in for another kiss.

In no time at all, Ji Su was softened by kisses.

"Let's wait for some time before we raise it." Gu Zhao had a big hand running down his spine, "Take your time and figure out what breed of cat you want first."

*

The first semester of my junior year just flew by with a busy schedule of classes.

Winter break is approaching, and Ji Su is putting her resume online to find an internship with an architectural firm.

Gu Zhao is also going to do his internship, but instead of going to Gu's group company, he is going to go to the law firm run by his seniors in the same department.

Apparently he wasn't interested in inheriting the family business, even though Elder Gu had long ago transferred quite a few shares of the group to him, and had even asked several times for the subsidiaries under the group to be handed over to him to take care of.

"Managing a company is a pain in the ass." Gu Zhao commented on this, "It's better to just be a shareholder and wait for the accounts at the end of the year."

Ji Su nods, "That fits your style of doing things."

Gu Zhao smiled and hugged him to his lap, "Still Baby knows me best."

Ji Su wondered, "By the way, you never told me why you chose to study law?"

Gu Zhao returned in a matter-of-fact tone, "To better exploit the loopholes in the law, of course."

Ji Su: "......"

Although it sounds unbelievable, if you think about it, it's quite in line with Gu Zhao's style ......

Gu Zhao burst out laughing, "You really believe that?"

Ji Su couldn't help but roll her eyes as she got up and was about to leave the couch.

Zhao Gu stretched his arms and pulled the man back into his arms, "Okay, you give me a kiss and I'll tell you what the real reason is."

Despite having fallen for the same trick countless times, Ji Su hesitated for a moment and offered him a kiss.

"So good." Gu Zhao tightened his arms and his voice lowered, "When Grandpa took me out of the basement then, for a long time, I wouldn't talk."

But Elder Gu had begun to suspect that his daughter's death might not have been an accident, so he sent someone to secretly investigate and finally found out the truth.

Although Gu Zhao's mom's death had nothing to do with that scumbag, Gu Zhao's dad was indeed killed by him.

"That man was accused of abetting murder and child abuse, and he spent a lot of money to hire himself a lawyer." Gu Zhao gave a laugh, "That lawyer reversed black and white and defended the murderer in court in public."

Ji Su's heart tightened, "And then what?"

"Then I appeared in court, the man had admitted to committing the crime before my mom died, and I was the witness who survived." Gu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "In the end, the man was sentenced to life in prison,"

Ji Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Luckily ......"

Gu Zhao lowered his eyes, "They say late justice is not justice, but better late than never."

"So as a young boy you stood in a courtroom and became interested in the law?" Ji Su took the large, bony hand and played with his fingers, "You swore that one day when you stood in the seat of a defense attorney, you would punish the evil and punish the good, not letting a bad person go and not wronging a good person."

Gu Zhao smiled, "So in your mind, I'm the one with such lofty ideals?"

"Yes." Ji Su raised her eyes and her tone was sure, "In my heart, you are the best person in the world."

Gu Zhao locked eyes with him for a moment and couldn't help but move in to kiss him again.

Ji Su's lips were numb from the kiss, and the bottom of her eyes were covered with a layer of water mist.

"Baby ......" Gu Zhao said in a muffled voice as he rested against his forehead, "I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

*

The next day, Ji Su slept again until noon.

He was getting used to Gu Zhao's rhythm, but unfortunately his stamina could not keep up.

After lunch, Ji Su drew a picture for a while and was carried out by Gu Zhao.

It was cold, so Gu Zhao tied a thick scarf around him and put on a furry hat, wrapping him up like a round doll, before leading him out the door.

Ji Su got into the passenger side and yawned, "Where are you taking me?"

Gu Zhao fastened his seatbelt for him, "The road is a bit far, if you are sleepy, you can sleep first."

"No way, I'll fall asleep, then how boring for you to drive alone." Ji Su swore, "I'm not sleepy at all, let me chat with you."

Gu Zhao smiled and answered, "Good."

Halfway through the drive, Ji Su fell asleep.

The way he slept was very well behaved, his long, dense eyelashes closed quietly, falling a fan-shaped shadow, his breathing was light and steady, so beautiful that he lived like a person in a fairy tale.

Gu Zhao rested one hand on the steering wheel, his gaze shifting to the road ahead, and for a moment, wished it was longer, just a little bit longer.

When Ji Su woke up again, it was already dark.

He opened his eyes in a daze and subconsciously called out under his breath, "Gu Zhao ......"

"I am." Gu Zhao, standing by the car, opens the door, "Wake up from your nap?"

Ji Su rubbed his eyes with a slightly sheepish expression, "I think I accidentally fell asleep ......"

"I didn't call you because I saw you sleeping well." Zhao Gu raised his hand and cupped his face, "Come down and show you something."

Ji Su got out of the car and jumped into his arms, muttering, "You're not wearing as much as me, so how come your body feels warmer than mine?"

Gu Zhao opened his thick coat and wrapped the man in it, "Because it's going to touch you."

Ji Su turned her head in his arms, only to be surprised that they were on the beach.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of summer, the winter beach is quiet, with a hint of silence, only the waves of the sea tirelessly wave after wave.

"So you want to bring me to see the sea." Ji Su teased, "Seeing the sea in winter, brother Gu Zhao is very sentimental."

"Not specifically to bring you to see the sea." Zhao Gu raised his hand and nudged the tip of his nose, "It was to bring you to see our home."

Ji Su was slightly stunned, "Huh?"

"Didn't I tell you on your birthday that we could buy a villa on the beach later." Gu Zhao hugged him forward, "You never came to me to cash in, but I can't wait."

"You ......" Ji Su found it unbelievable, "You really bought a villa on the beach?"

"To be precise, a villa was built." Gu Zhao took his hand and pointed it in a certain direction.

Ji Su followed the two men's hands and a villa literally appeared in her sight.

The villa had only been pulled up to its frame, and the interior and exterior decoration had not yet been done, but he recognized at once that it had been built according to the design drawings in his computer.

That design was in a separate folder with a single word for the file name: "Home."

"Peeped at the drawings you hid in your computer, don't be angry." Gu Zhao plastered him and explained, "Originally, I was planning to move in directly after it was built, but then I remembered that you said you wanted to design and decorate your own home with your own hands, so I still brought you to see it in advance."

Ji Su stared blankly at the villa standing in the darkness, and then turned his face to look blankly at Gu Zhao.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhao frowned imperceptibly, "Don't like it?"

"I ......" Ji Su suddenly felt as if his throat was choked, and tears rolled out before the words came out.

His tears were large and round, falling in pearl-like strings that looked crystal clear in the moonlight.

Gu Zhao's heart pumped and he cupped his face, his brow knotted with pain, "Why are you crying?"

"I'm ...... not ......" Ji Su was somewhat incoherent, "I'm not crying, I'm happy... ..."

He had literally envisioned himself owning a home in the future many, many times, and that's why he drew design drawings over and over again.

But he never imagined that the day when the drawings would become reality would come so soon.

Gu Zhao wiped the tears off his face with his fingertips, "No more tears except in bed."

Ji Su broke into tears, "You have the nerve to say that you're the one who made me cry the most."

"Fine, it's my fault." Gu Zhao kissed the teary eyes, "As an atonement, I'll let you be on top tonight, okay?"

Ji Su shook his head, "No good."

Gu Zhao The so-called keeping him on top will only make him suffer more ......

"How petulant." Gu Zhao rubbed the bridge of his nose against his cheek, "Come on, back to the car first."

Ji Su sniffled and readily looked at the villa again, "So when are we coming back?"

"You can come whenever you want." Gu Zhao gripped his hand tightly and tucked it into his pocket, "Why don't you stop going to your internship during winter vacation and finish decorating the villa first."

Ji Su thought briefly, "I think it's okay."

Anyway, college students can only do odd jobs when they go to an architectural firm for internships, so how can they have a better experience than designing and renovating a villa with their own hands?

"Good." Gu Zhao's lips curled into a smile, "We'll move over once Ji Su-sensei has installed her new home."

Ji Su nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand, the two kept walking along the beach.

The winter sea breeze was cold, but the clasped hands were so warm.

Ji Su cocked her head, "Gu Zhao, how long did you drive over here today?"

"A little over two hours." Gu Zhao whispered back, "What's wrong?"

"So it doesn't look very far away, so we can live here a lot in the future." Ji Su imagined in an excited tone, "And the villa is so big, we can have not only a cat, but also a big dog."

Gu Zhao responded, "Well, raise as many as you want."

"Good," Ji Su curled her eyes, happiness bubbling out of the corners of her eyes at the drop of a hat.

He asked again, "By the way, are we still going home tonight?"

Gu Zhao led him toward the car, "Not going back."

"So we sleep in the car?" Ji Su kind of jumped at the chance, "I've never tried spending the night in a car."

Gu Zhao pulled the backseat door open and let him in, "I've never tried it in a car either."

A few minutes later, there was a nice murmur from the black Jaguar, interspersed with a few low, muffled grunts.

If you are in love, winter nights are like spring.
