The two sat side by side, and they could feel that they were very hot, and that the other's blood was just as hot as their own.
The heat, though separated by air, enveloped me; it was mine, and it was the other's.
Jiang Xu thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you sure about now?"
Gu Li just blurted it out on a whim, and regretted it as soon as she said it. When Jiang Xu asked her, Gu Li naturally went along with it, saying, "I'm sure it's not now."
Jiang Xu nodded. He thought that negotiations should make the prey more relaxed. No, not prey, but rather an opponent, a worthy adversary. "I think so too. Should we go back to wash or stay here?"
Gu Li thought of the clothes hanging separately in a closet at home, clothes he had suddenly gotten up last night to iron. "Go back, of course we have to go back," he said, placing his hand on his neck and lingering on Jiang Xu's neck. "We're still missing something, do you remember?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu felt that if he dared to say that he didn't remember, he might not be able to leave the gym. "Of course I remember."
Jiang Xu not only remembered, but also carefully placed the necklace box that Gu Li had given him next to his pillow. It was the first thing that stuck in his mind when he woke up this morning.
Today, he will wear a necklace with him.
The moment I thought of it, that's the meaning of placing it there.
Jiang Xu thought that even if he had prepared, even if he had prepared a long time ago, some things were still chaotic, and he still felt that he had forgotten something.
As he changed his clothes and paced back and forth inside the room with the box in his hand, Gu Li, on the other side of the wall, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
This is something I'm nervous about for no apparent reason, but it's definitely very nerve-wracking.
After checking himself in front of the full-length mirror, Gu Li decided to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xu reaching out to ring the doorbell.
The other person was holding the black brocade box in their other hand.
Gu Li closed her eyes and then opened them again. She seemed much calmer when she saw Jiang Xu. "What a coincidence, I was just about to go find you too."
“That’s perfect, I found it,” Jiang Xu replied.
They met at the doorway, one dressed in black and the other in white. The door frame separated them, with one person on one side.
Gu Li stepped back slightly, and Jiang Xu entered the room. From then on, black and white blended together, a perfect match.
It was evening, but the curtains were drawn in the room, the light was a hazy silvery white, and there was a glass bottle on the coffee table with a single rose inside.
White roses.
The two sat down on the sofa together. Gu Li pointed to the flowers. "The flowers that were delivered this time haven't bloomed yet; they're still thawing. This is the only one that's open on the table." He then looked at Jiang Xu. "I didn't expect white roses to be so beautiful. No wonder you wanted white ones."
Jiang Xu said, "White looks very nice," looking at Gu Li's outfit. "You look good in white too."
Gu Li tilted her head, "Just because white looks better?" A small smile appeared on her lips.
Jiang Xu said, “Of course,” he looked at Gu Li’s face, which appeared even more delicate and three-dimensional under the silver-white light, “people look better in white.”
Gu Li nodded slightly. "Then I think black looks good too," he said, looking directly at Jiang Xu. "Black makes people look especially good."
Jiang Xu said, "Well, how should I put it?" His voice was a little low, but his smile was very clear. "Whether it's business or not, I don't know, but this was definitely mutual praise."
Gu Li said, "How could it be business? Anyway, I'm being sincere," and then feigned some dissatisfaction. "Fine, you're in business, right?"
Jiang Xu said, "We've already hugged each other, so we're naturally speaking from the heart." He was referring to the words Gu Li sang after hugging him in the haunted house.
Gu Li: "It seems you had a deep impression of the haunted house experience too."
Jiang Xu: "Yes, I have a good memory too."
Gu Li said, "The person with the good memory, give me the box you're holding."
A black brocade box containing warm jade lay inside.
Jiang Xu handed over the brocade box, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, dear neighbor."
Gu Li took it and stood up. "You're too kind. Are you not familiar with me?"
Jiang Xu said without hesitation, "Please put this on my brother."
Gu Li walked to the side of the sofa and stood next to Jiang Xu. Hearing this, he patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you really can get wildly arrogant without us even noticing."
Jiang Xu turned his body a little more to the side, completely turning his back to Gu Li. "How could that be? It's all an imitation. The imitator is standing right behind me."
Gu Li opened the box, and the familiar jade appeared before his eyes. "Imitate it well later," he said, before taking out the necklace.
He flipped his fingers a few times to open the clasp, held the two ends of the necklace high, and then his next movement resembled a bag hugging Jiang Xu before straightening up and fastening the clasp.
The necklace felt slightly cool when it was first placed around his neck, while Gu Li's breath was warm. Jiang Xu could feel his proximity and the occasional touch of his fingertips on his neck.
The sensations of cold and heat were exceptionally clear, and Jiang Xu could even clearly see Gu Li trying to fasten his card behind him, and he could also clearly see that Gu Li hadn't managed to fasten it for a long time. "Do you have to imitate this too?"
Gu Li noticed a slight smile in Jiang Xu's voice. He didn't know why the necklace had suddenly become so uncooperative, always making a mistake just as it was about to be fastened.
Gu Li bent down slightly and leaned closer. "Don't rush, it'll be quick."
Jiang Xu was taken aback. Gu Li's warm breath brushed against the back of his neck, causing a slight itch that made Jiang Xu feel numb for a moment.
The voice came softly, and although it should have sounded familiar, it still felt different. Jiang Xu responded softly, "Hmm." His shoulders and neck were stiff.
Gu Li finally managed to fasten it. He adjusted the length and position slightly, then completely withdrew his hand. He straightened up and patted Jiang Xu on the shoulder again, "Come on, it's time for the demonstration."
Jiang Xu calmly turned around and looked up at Gu Li.
Gu Li looked at it carefully, then reached out and adjusted his position again. This time, his fingertip directly touched a noticeable bone. He paused slightly, his gaze fixed on the area hidden by the clothes.
The collarbone reminded him of what he had seen when they changed clothes together before.
He wondered how he could casually sprinkle some water on it next time to see if he could raise fish like they said online. He was genuinely curious.
Jiang Xu, "All done?"
Gu Li casually withdrew her hand. "Alright, why don't you look in the mirror?"
Jiang Xu said, "Let's watch it together later. Now, let's sit down here." He stood up as he spoke, and the two of them were now at eye level.
At this moment, Gu Li could see it more clearly. The jade was in a more suitable position than the brocade box. It was truly a case of the person being like the jade, and the jade complementing the person, exuding nobility and elegance.
Jiang Xu patted Gu Li on the shoulder, "Wearing it standing up isn't impossible. I'm a few centimeters taller than you, standing up?"
Gu Li sat down directly, looked up at Jiang Xu and gave him a smile that carried a hint of threat, "You look about the same height as me."
Jiang Xu: "Who watched it? Everyone? No way, it should only be you."
Gu Li said, "Don't worry about it, and don't exaggerate two centimeters as if it were several centimeters. It's just a matter of wearing shoes."
Jiang Xu smiled calmly, "You're right," he said, bending slightly towards Gu Li, "That's not the point right now." He waved his hand.
