Chapter 16 Lip Print, White Shirt, Kiss on His Heart

Jiang Lekai is a typical science student with average language skills. Gu Zeming had to play the game for him eight times before he finally managed to pronounce all the syllables correctly.

"I really am a genius!" Jiang Lekai smiled smugly.

Gu Zeming gave him a few recently released movies to choose from, most of which were animated films or family-friendly movies.

Jiang Lekai felt looked down upon; he hated being treated like a child.

He glanced at the films with little interest and asked, "Teacher, which one did my sister and brother Li Sen watch?"

"I don't know," Gu Zeming said, glancing at "Love Letter" out of the corner of his eye.

Jiang Lekai caught his gaze and immediately declared, "I want to read 'Love Letter'."

Before going out, students need to inform their parents. Gu Zeming called Jiang Shan to explain the reason: "When students perform well, giving them appropriate rewards is beneficial to their progress. Xiao Kai is intelligent and has outstanding learning ability. He did well today, so I want to take him out to see a movie."

Mothers love it when others praise their children, and Jiang Shan was overjoyed.

"Thank you for your help, teacher. I'll have my staff reimburse your travel expenses at the end of the month."

After reporting, I hung up the phone.

Jiang Lekai, dressed like a black monkey, came out of the house, put on a hat and mask, and asked mysteriously, "Teacher, can you still recognize me like this?"

Gu Zeming glanced at him. "I don't recognize you."

Jiang Lekai chuckled and said, "Teacher, why don't you dress up a bit too?"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid my sister will recognize you."

"..."

Gu Zeming remained silent for a moment, ignoring him.

Two cinemas in City B are re-screening "Love Letter" today, the closest one being the one on Xueyuan South Road.

At night, the air is filled with the sweet aroma of popcorn.

Jiang Chuyu stood at the entrance of the theater, waiting for Li Sen to collect the tickets.

People came and went around her, and occasionally couples would walk past her hand in hand.

Jiang Chuyu was looking down at her phone when a presence suddenly drew near.

She felt someone watching her, looked up, and her gaze suddenly stopped.

Gu Zeming and Jiang Lekai, one big and one small, stood beside her, staring at her as if she were an alien.

Jiang Chuyu was stunned for a moment, and when she looked into Gu Zeming's dark and calm eyes, her scalp tingled instantly.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Lekai boasted narcissistically, "My teacher said I behaved well and rewarded me by letting me go to see a movie."

"Oh." Jiang Chuyu didn't suspect anything and asked in a friendly tone, "What animated movie are you planning to watch?"

Jiang Lekai rolled his eyes. "I watched those animated films when they were first released. Today we're planning to watch 'Love Letter'."

? ? ?

Jiang Chuyu paused for a few seconds, making sure she hadn't misheard, then turned her head to look at Gu Zeming.

"Senior."

"Um?"

Are you really going to take him to see "Love Letter"?

Gu Zeming raised an eyebrow, his words firm: "Whether it's an animated film or a romance film, as long as the plot is fine, what's wrong with watching it? Or do you think that at his age, he can't understand the sincere emotions in the film, and you're afraid that he'll be corrupted after watching one movie?"

Why does it feel like he described her as some kind of feudal old lady?

It's a complete injustice.

Jiang Chuyu: "You're right. It's his freedom to see what he wants to see. I'm just afraid that if my mom finds out, she'll... dock your pay."

Gu Ze stared at her intently for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I informed Ms. Jiang before I came. I can handle this responsibility."

After Li Sen got the tickets, he turned around and saw the three of them talking in the corner. Thinking they were arguing, he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Chuyu composed herself and explained, "My brother and Senior Gu came out to see a movie and we just happened to run into each other. By the way, Senior, which theater are you in? What time is the show?"

Gu Zeming: "Hall 6, 8:25."

“Oh, same as us.” Li Sen handed a ticket to Jiang Chuyu and asked them, “Want to go in together?”

Ignored by the adults, Jiang Lekai immediately blurted out, "Okay!"

After queuing to have my ticket checked, I entered Hall 6, found a seat, and waited a few minutes before the movie started.

The lights dimmed, and the opening theme song began to play softly.

Jiang Chuyu held popcorn, her eyes fixed intently on the big screen, but she couldn't concentrate at all.

Gu Zeming and Jiang Lekai were seated to her side and behind, with only one row between them.

She always felt that her every move was being watched.

Li Sen leaned slightly forward and whispered to her. She nodded politely and smiled faintly.

The film has a unique narrative style, delicate emotions, and a gentle, flowing delivery.

The atmosphere for watching the movie was quiet and gentle.

Until a female audience member accidentally spilled her iced cola on Gu Zeming's pants.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to." I came to see a movie with my classmates, but the person sitting next to me was the most handsome guy from the neighboring University A. No one could stay calm.

The girl blushed and showed her personal QR code: "Can we add each other on WeChat? I'll compensate you for your loss."

"It's alright, no need." A familiar, indifferent voice came from behind.

Jiang Chuyu turned around and met Gu Zeming's dark eyes. The light from the screen reflected on his brow bone, nose bridge, and jawline, flickering and making the emotions in his eyes even more unpredictable.

Jiang Chuyu's heart skipped a beat.

At this point, the movie reaches its climax, with Hiroko Watanabe calling out Fujii Itsuki's name to the distant mountains in the snow.

Actually, Jiang Chuyu didn't like "Love Letter"; she only liked Gu Zeming.

That day, while they were taking a walk, Li Sen asked her what movies she liked. She recalled the scene of Gu Zeming standing by the library window and felt that it was similar to a scene in the movie "Love Letter," so she subconsciously said "Love Letter."

While he was lost in thought, Li Sen's phone screen suddenly lit up.

This is the seventh time he has received such a message since the movie premiered.

He returned three times during that period.

Jiang Chuyu caught a glimpse of the person who sent the message out of the corner of her eye.

It's Zou Letong.

Before she returned to the Jiang family, Zou Letong and Li Sen had already gone on blind dates and almost got engaged.

After she returned, Zou Letong was no longer the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, so the two probably had a falling out.

Jiang Lekai insisted on watching the movie in the same theater as her, probably because he wanted to help Zou Letong keep an eye on her and Li Sen.

Jiang Chuyu suddenly felt a headache.

I was utterly exhausted after watching a movie.

As Li Sen left the movie theater, his phone screen lit up again.

Zou Letong: [You've fallen for her, haven't you? Is it because I'm not a real rich heiress that we can't be together?]

Li Sen initially intended to ignore it, but Zou Letong quickly sent another picture.

Beer and sleeping pills.

Li Sen frowned.

Jiang Lekai, seeing the wind blowing, said, "Brother Li Sen, if you have something urgent to attend to, you can leave first. The teacher will take my sister and me back to the apartment safely."

Li Sen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Chuyu and said frankly, "I'm sorry, I'll clean it up. I'm sorry to have troubled you tonight."

The matter between Li Sen and Zou Letong is, in essence, a matter between the Li family and the Jiang family. It was because the eldest daughter of the Jiang family had changed that he found himself in a dilemma.

Now that he was being honest and straightforward, Jiang Chuyu didn't say much, only smiling and saying, "It's alright, it's good that you've explained yourself."

She was composed and poised, which momentarily stunned Li Sen. He reached out to tuck a stray strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear.

Gu Zeming, standing next to him, gave him a cold look and reminded him in a deep voice, "The car I ordered has arrived."

Li Sen paused, then said gratefully, "Thank you for your help."

Gu Zeming nodded slightly in response, then reminded the two siblings who were still standing there dumbfounded: "Get in the car."

Jiang Lekai didn't want to sit with Jiang Chuyu, so he went to the passenger seat on his own.

Jiang Chuyu climbed into the car, and as soon as she sat down, the seat cushion next to her sank in slightly.

Gu Zeming sat down next to her and casually closed the door.

The car started, and the driver turned on the air conditioning.

As the cool air swept over her skin, Jiang Chuyu leaned back in her seat like a lazy cat, listlessly squinting at the man beside her.

She had some red wine with Li Sen for dinner, and now that the alcohol was taking effect, her head was spinning. In addition, she had used up a lot of energy that night, and she fell asleep after only a few minutes.

Around 10 p.m., as the night deepened, the car stopped in front of the apartment building. The girl beside him still showed no signs of waking up. Gu Zeming paid the fare and softly called her name, "Chu Yu."

Jiang Chuyu nuzzled her head in his arms and then fell silent again.

Gu Zeming looked at her, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Jiang Lekai unbuckled his seatbelt, looking disgusted: "Is my sister going to die of drunkenness?"

“Possibly,” Gu Zeming said, then suddenly bent down, slipped his right hand under her knees, wrapped his left arm around her back, and lifted her up in his arms.

Jiang Lekai opened his eyes wide, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Gu Zeming lifted the person into his arms and weighed him down.

Jiang Chuyu was lighter than he had imagined; holding her felt like holding a soft cloud.

He didn't expend much effort; he easily carried her across the lobby and into the elevator.

Jiang Lekai obediently followed behind them and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.

The elevator is going up.

Jiang Lekai hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Teacher."

"Um?"

"How about I carry him?"

Although Jiang Lekai is only a first-year high school student, he is growing fast and is nearly 1.8 meters tall. He still has the strength to hug Jiang Chuyu.

Although he disliked Jiang Chuyu, the two were related by blood after all. Seeing her being held by Gu Zeming always gave him a knot in his heart and made him inexplicably unhappy.

Gu Zeming glanced at him. "What did you just say?"

Jiang Lekai: "..."

Jiang Lekai: "No."

Courage is something that diminishes after it's used once.

"Oh," Gu Zeming said indifferently, ending the conversation.

The moment the elevator doors opened, Jiang Chuyu slowly woke up, her eyes opening a crack before she froze.

Realizing her situation, she quickly closed her eyes and leaned her head into his arms.

It was a very hot day, and Gu Zeming was only wearing a thin white shirt. She pressed her cheek against his hard, warm chest, rubbing it gently, and gradually became immersed in his cool breath.

I feel so happy, it's Gu Zeming's chest!

Seeing that he hadn't noticed she was awake, she turned her face to the side, her lips slowly moving through her shirt to apply her lipstick, then sticking out the tip of her tongue to touch it.

Gu Zeming paused.

His thumb seemed to brush against the back of her knee unintentionally.

Jiang Chuyu's body went limp, and she became obedient.

Gu Zeming carried her back to the bedroom, threw her onto the bed, took off her shoes, turned on the air conditioner, and stood by the bed staring at her for a while.

Jiang Lekai stood guard at the door, finding his gaze terrifying, and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is she alright?"

"It's nothing, he just fell asleep." Gu Zeming's eyelids twitched, and he turned and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Jiang Lekai breathed a sigh of relief, but his lips twitched when he caught a glimpse of the lipstick stain on the man's white shirt.

"Teacher, your clothes are dirty."

"oh."

Gu Zeming glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously.

He took off his shirt and turned it right side out while taking a shower in the early morning.

There was a faint lip print near her heart, pale pink, with slightly blurred edges, as if someone had kissed her lips, and it gleamed with an ambiguous and decadent luster under the light.

He stroked the lip print, gently caressing it, his fingertips seemingly still able to feel the soft touch of her lips.

As if possessed, he raised his thumb to his lips, stuck out the tip of his tongue and lightly licked it, then rolled the color into his mouth to taste it.

★A masked, aloof, and gloomy mixed-race bear x a sunny and cheerful young lady

-

Xu Siwei, who was lost, stopped a young man in a Russian subway station.

The young man on the street was tall, wearing a black mask, with a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes. His blue-brown eyes looked over, and he was breathtakingly handsome.

Xu Siwei fell in love with him at first sight.

She tried to communicate with him for a long time using broken English and a translator, finally managing to confuse both herself and him.

He sighed: "I speak Chinese."

Xu Siwei: "..."

-

The passerby, with a stern face, helped her carry her suitcase and walked away quickly.

Xu Siwei followed behind him, panting heavily.

Upon arriving at her destination, before she could even say "thank you," the young man had already put down his suitcase and turned to leave.

Xu Siwei regretted not asking for his contact information, which became her only regret on this trip.

-

A year later, the e-sports team that my brother invested in got a player of mixed Chinese and Russian descent.

"His name is Xiao Sizhe, full name Xiao Sizhe Fedorozhen Delev. He's half Slavic and the ace player on our team. He's a bit introverted, but has a great temper. Could you show him around and make sure he doesn't get bullied..."

Xu Siwei recognized him at a glance as the Russian bear from before, and was overjoyed: "Hey, Slavic beauty!"

Xiao Sizhe had a cold face, but his ears turned red.

-

Xu Siwei frequently visited the e-sports base, full of enthusiasm. Xiao Sizhe, however, always maintained a stern, aloof, and taciturn demeanor whenever he saw her, displaying extreme coldness.

Later, Xu Siwei thought he didn't like her, so she decided to give up on this unrequited love and went on a trip abroad with her best friend.

She met a group of sweethearts in the United States, generously shared her travel experiences, posted group photos, and had so much fun that she didn't want to leave.

However, not long after posting the photo, she suddenly received several messages.

Why haven't you been to the base lately?

Don't you love me anymore?

Sweetheart, I miss your gummy bears so much...

Xu Siwei flew back to China immediately.

-

In the dead of winter, with snowflakes falling, the man stubbornly stood at her doorstep. Wearing a wool coat, snow boots, and a black face mask, he looked like a little brown bear.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up at her, his face full of grievance: "You're back? Baby, I want to kiss you."

Xu Siwei: "..."
