Wouldn’t the story about the fox in Chapter 52 make him happy again? …
Amid the booing from the audience, Gu Zhi buckled one side of the handcuffs onto his right wrist.
"Come here." He put his left hand behind his back and waited patiently for her to come closer.
Jiang Ziyi took a small step forward suspiciously.
Gu Zhi pretended to pull her hand over, but he took the opportunity to close his five fingers and imprisoned her palm.
With a "click", the other side of the silver ring that was originally tightly closed was circled around Jiang Ziyi's wrist.
Their wrists remained connected until he bowed.
"When did you learn all this?" Jiang Ziyi studied the handcuffs over and over again, and the sound of metal colliding continued from the back seat.
Wang Zihe, who forced his way back to the stage and wanted to perform a rap to save face, cleared his throat into the microphone.
"I was filming a movie two months ago, and the role required it, so I had some contact with it," Gu Zhi confessed.
This is how the murderer in the closed room murder case faked his death, took the police hostage and escaped.
Wang Zihe's rap, which was as thin as a mosquito and indistinct, continued, and everyone in the audience pretended to be busy: some looked at the sky, some listened to the song, some were distracted, and some continued to make small movements.
"Then please open the lock quickly. I want to see if Director Yu has caught any fish." After the mystery was revealed, Jiang Ziyi's interest quickly shifted.
Gu Zhi pretended to search his coat pocket.
"Hey, the key is missing," he said with just the right amount of anxiety, "Hold my hand first, let me look for it carefully..."
"What's the logic behind these two sentences?" Jiang Ziyi pressed a bulge on the inside of the handcuffs speechlessly and moved his wrist which had been freed again.
Before Gu Zhi could finish his words, she grabbed his left hand, put it through the gap in the armrest of the folding chair, and then fastened it lightly.
Gu Zhi was a little surprised, but he was quite cooperative throughout the whole process.
"I'm going to look at the fish. You take your time looking." Officer Jiang said to the arrested murderer Gu.
She even ran away without looking back at him.
[Ahhh what is the placement play]
[I told you to cheat on your wife every day, and now you’ve been cheated by your wife! ]
[Ziyi Baby finally started to break the routine, and the fans are relieved]
[This is a story about a fox coming]
[Previous second: The fox is triumphant; Next second: The dog is depressed]
[Actually, I’m not that depressed… Gu Zhi laughed quietly for a long time]
[Will he be pleased again? ]
As expected, Yu Huating failed again.
"Woo... no meat to eat..." He pulled Du Xiaofang's down jacket aggrievedly.
"It would be scary if we actually caught something," Du Xiaofang consoled him by saying, "The probability of seeing the Loch Ness Monster in this place is higher than that of seeing fish."
In a blink of an eye, it was time to end the broadcast. Jiang Ziyi helped Luo Pan lay out the moisture-proof mat. She lifted the tent curtain and found that Gu Zhi was still sitting there obediently.
Wang Zihe had already finished singing two albums. From his perspective, he had no idea that Gu Zhi was forcibly handcuffed to the chair. He even thought he had met a soulmate in music.
"I'm glad you like rap too!" Wang Zihe excitedly made a rock gesture to him.
"Why don't you unlock the lock yourself?" Jiang Ziyi hurried over to rescue.
"I thought you wanted to see me like this." Gu Zhi raised his head, his pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes became even more captivating under the firelight.
Not to mention, his posture as a lower-ranking person who is rarely restrained is indeed a bit strange.
………It’s so hot. Jiang Ziyi suspects that there’s something wrong with the tea that Gu Zhi brewed.
She quickly untied the cold handcuffs. Gu Zhi was hurt by the rough action and let out a soft "hiss".
But he still had a smile on his face, his eyes focused, and he looked like he was letting her do whatever she wanted.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Jiang Ziyi said as he drove them away with a red face.
After traveling for most of the day, we still had no chance to have a good meal. Although it was only a little after eight o'clock, most of the guests had already gone back to their tents to lie down.
Yu Huating came out and unplugged the power socket connected to Wang Zihe's microphone.
Jiang Renyi put out the campfire with a spoonful of water, and the wet firewood collapsed together like a black shadow.
"Aren't you going to bed?" Gu Zhi asked with moonlight on his head.
"I'm not sleepy yet." Jiang Ziyi sat down facing the lake. The wind made the prayer flags in the distance flutter.
She had a manic episode today, but fortunately the medication has kept her in check. The excitement in the morning was consumed along with the physical strength, and the anger was also vented... Now the desire is still quite strong.
Gu Zhi had already noticed that something was wrong with her condition. He handed her the chocolate just when Jiang Ziyi was about to swallow the pill.
Hugs in the woods, magic tricks in front of the campfire, "You can use me to vent" and "I thought you wanted to see me like this"... He wanted to do everything he could to be her support.
Unfortunately, they got too close at night. Jiang Ziyi's mind was full of Gu Zhi being handcuffed to the back of a chair. He was obviously very excited and couldn't stop breathing, but he had to purse his lips and try his best to endure it.
Gu Zhi moved another chair next to her.
"Can you sit further away?" Jiang Ziyi took off his hood and decided to let the cold wind blow more.
"I don't mean to drive you away, I mean..." She found that what she said just now sounded a little hurtful.
"Shiyi, you can get angry with me more, it's okay." Gu Zhi really hadn't caught up with the progress of her illness.
Jiang Ziyi didn't dare to tell the truth, for she was worried that he would want to sacrifice himself after hearing it.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ziyi returned to the tent after confirming that he had been blown to the point where he had no reaction at all.
Gu Zhi, who had been standing two meters away from her the whole time, also lifted the door curtain.
"Do I need to sleep further away?" he asked cautiously, taking off his coat.
"Well, it's best to lie back to back." Jiang Ziyi crawled in the sleeping bag like a caterpillar and moved to the edge of the electric blanket.
Gu Zhi lay down quickly. Fortunately, the space in the tent was large enough, and there was an arm's length between the two of them.
In the darkness, Jiang Ziyi silently turned over, stared at the back of Gu Zhi's head for a while, and closed his eyes as he listened to his even breathing.
————————————————————
"You said you loved someone you shouldn't have loved..." Jiang Ziyi hummed a song as she pushed open the Japanese paper door of the izakaya. She was completely brainwashed by the boss's crying.
Gu Zhi was holding the packed lunch box, looking quite depressed.
I haven't even had two bites of dinner yet, the flowers I ordered have not been delivered yet, and the traffic jam has delayed all my plans... It's past ten o'clock in the evening now, all the restaurants on the street are closed, and most bars don't accept takeout meals...
It was clearly a long-planned first date, but things were going wrong at every stage, causing Gu Zhi to fall into serious order anxiety.
Will Jiang Ziyi think that he is unreliable and never go out with him again?
"This place is very close to Beiqiao Xinlu." Jiang Ziyi came over and took a look at the navigation.
"I know a nice bar, probably around this location." She zoomed in on the map and marked a site.
Gu Zhi's car was parked in front of an inconspicuous pharmacy.
Jiang Ziyi pushed open the back door with ease, walked through rows of shelves, and pressed the elevator switch at the end of the corridor.
The indicator light on the basement floor came on, and along with the hoarse crooning of a female singer, the tall wooden bar and leather booths came into view. The bartender put the long spoon into the bottom of the glass, and the ice and wine swirled gently under her movements.
"It's been more than half a month, and you're still willing to come back?" Xia Wanqing said angrily as she put her arm around Jiang Ziyi's shoulders. "Sister is very busy with her business right now, so I won't keep a seat for you if things go on like this."
"This was my boss when I was working illegally in a bar. His surname was Xia." Jiang Ziyi turned his head and introduced him to Gu Zhi.
"Don't make me sound like a profiteer. You cried and swore that you were an adult," Xia Wanqing pinched her gently with her fingers painted with dark red nail polish.
"He is...my boyfriend." Jiang Ziyi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Oh--" Xia Wanqing drawled out her words gossipingly, "Xiao Sun, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Li, stop playing with your phones! Come and see, this is the legendary 'Shunlu Brother'!" She shouted, attracting several employees in the store.
"'Brother Shunlu'?" Gu Zhi blinked blankly.
"This is the nickname given to you within the organization." Xia Wanqing invited the two to sit down.
"Do you know what bad things people say about you when they get drunk?" she asked with a smile.
"You say I'm troublesome, clingy, and can't be driven away. I'm more troublesome than before?" Gu Zhi smiled and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Ziyi.
You really guessed it...Xia Wanqing covered her mouth in surprise.
"You are quite self-aware," Jiang Ziyi closed the wine list without even looking at it, "A glass of Sunset Roller, a glass of boiled water, please help me heat up two dishes in the microwave, and bring a larger soup spoon." She pushed the takeaway bag to the table.
"You don't even meet the minimum consumption, but you have a lot of requirements. Do you think this place is a take-out canteen?" Xia Wanqing crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"It's so late and I have nowhere to go. I'm still hungry. Please be flexible, sister." Jiang Ziyi softened his voice.
"Hmph, I'm really scared of you." Xia Wanqing picked up the packing bag and walked away in her high heels.
"Please...Excuse me, are you Gu Zhi, the blind composer in the movie "Darkroom"? " The short-haired waiter's hands were shaking, and the wine glasses on the tray clinked crisply together.
"Yes, you have to keep it a secret for us." Gu Zhi smiled and held the cocktail that was tilting increasingly.
"Don't... worry. We are very familiar with Zi Yi and we won't tell anyone a single word." Zhao Zhuo held the tray level and walked away with stiff steps.
"Don't look at her being so reserved now. When Xia Wanqing gave you the name 'Shunlu Brother', she laughed the loudest." Jiang Ziyi pointed out.
"You two have such a good relationship." Gu Zhi folded his hands and looked at her meaningfully.
"I was kicked out of the house by Lin Shuyao back then. If Sister Xia and the others hadn't taken me in, I probably wouldn't have survived even a week." Jiang Ziyi said lightly.
Jiang Ziyi was picked up by Xia Wanqing on the street. Xia Wanqing was wearing heavy makeup and a mink coat, smoking one cigarette after another. Jiang Ziyi once suspected that she was a human trafficker and stayed away from her whenever he saw her.
It was not until one cold day that Xia Wanqing brought Jiang Ziyi into a bar that was not yet open and asked the bartender to make her a bowl of hot wontons. After understanding the general situation, she did not force her to return to her mother, but arranged a resident singing job for her, provided her with food and accommodation, and also taught her how to play the guitar.
Even now, Jiang Ziyi would come to the store for a drink every now and then.
"No wonder you call her sister," Gu Zhi curled his fingers with some concern, "You have never acted like a spoiled child to me like this before."
"...What's the comparison?" Jiang Ziyi felt that his words sounded so sticky. "I also called you brother when I was a child."
"That was in the play, it doesn't count." Gu Zhi propped up his chin aggrievedly, "Off-screen, you either said 'Gu' or 'Hey', or you just called me by my full name."
"Why don't we try calling him 'Brother Gu Zhi'?" he suggested expectantly.
"...It's too awkward, I don't want it." Jiang Ziyi blushed just thinking about it.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you?" Gu Zhi leaned forward slightly.
"After all, I really regarded you as a brother. It's a bit embarrassing to call you that now that I've grown up." Jiang Ziyi couldn't resist his questioning.
"Is that so?" Gu Zhi raised the glass with regret, the transparent water surface swaying slightly between his fingers, "Then can you please yell for Xiao Jiang?"
"Okay! Big brother! Hey!" Jiang Ziyi deliberately shouted in the tone that Zhang Fei used to call Liu Bei.
Gu Zhi laughed heartily at her rhythmic voice of "Big Brother".
"Ziyi, your drink is ready." Bartender Sun Che put a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass.
"That boyfriend of yours seems to be very experienced." She said casually while wiping the bar.
"Ah, why?" Jiang Ziyi looked behind her. Gu Zhi noticed her gaze and the curve of his mouth deepened.
"He's made you so stunned, it's not simple," Sun Che lowered his voice, "Drink less later, don't let him lure you into bed without knowing it."
"I'm not that stupid!" Jiang Ziyi was unconvinced, "After all, I'm an old hand in the love field—"
"Hahahaha!" Xia Wanqing, who was sitting on a high stool, laughed so hard that her earrings jingled.
"You call yourself a love veteran?" Zhao Zhuo who was passing by couldn't help but complain.
"I've never lacked suitors since I was a child." Jiang Ziyi put his hands on his hips.
"You only have experience in rejecting people, and you have no experience in falling in love. Aren't you still like a blank sheet of paper?" Xia Wanqing tapped her nose lightly.
"That's all experience," Jiang Ziyi muttered, "Besides, falling in love isn't difficult. It's just a few sweet words and some flirting. I already knew how to do that."
"Then can you perform with the sisters?" Sun Che made a "please" gesture to her.
