    Chapter 75: Misunderstanding

    The scalding hot water froze quickly in the sub-zero temperatures, leaving a thin layer of ice on their pants. However, Jun Changfeng seemed oblivious to the pain, taking out his phone to call Zhou Shan.

    “Hello? What’s wrong?”

    Zhou Shan answered immediately.

    “I accidentally spilled hot water on myself, it hurts a lot, but I can’t move.” Jun Changfeng leaned casually against his wheelchair, uttering fragile words that didn’t match his demeanor, “Could you come help me?”

    “Then hurry up and call a doctor!” Zhou Shan’s voice suddenly rose, anxiously clutching his phone, “How are you doing right now… Never mind, I’m coming over right now, ask the staff if they have a first aid kit.”

    As he spoke, the sound of footsteps crunching on the snow came through the phone. From above, one could clearly see Zhou Shan hurrying towards them.

    “Okay, I’ll wait for you.” A happy smile bloomed on Jun Changfeng’s face, the corners of his lips curving as he hung up the phone.

    When his gaze fell on the wet spot on his leg, he even chuckled softly.

    Gu Nian’s eyes clearly showed more vigilance, and he said coldly, “What do you want to do?”

    Jun Changfeng smiled, “I don’t want to do anything, I just want to prove that I’m much more suitable for dating than you, that’s all.”

    Gu Nian’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter, his stern face almost frozen. He opened his mouth to continue questioning, but Jun Changfeng had already slowly rolled to the door, making it clear that he didn’t intend to continue the conversation.

    A few minutes later, Zhou Shan rushed in, his eyes searching for Jun Changfeng. Seeing that the man’s face was still alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

    “Damn it, you really scared me.” Zhou Shan’s face was flushed red from the exertion. Without thinking about anything else, he squatted down to examine Jun Changfeng’s leg. “Where did you get burned? Let me see. Should we go to the hospital? Don’t want to leave a scar.”

    Jun Changfeng abandoned his provocations in front of Gu Nian, his thick eyelashes lowered, his eyes drooping, making him look like a fragile glass doll. “It still hurts, I didn’t dare to look.”

    Zhou Shan scratched his head and stood up, saying, “I’ll go see if there’s any burn ointment. Wait for me.” He turned to leave.

    But Jun Changfeng reached out and grabbed Zhou Shan’s wrist. His seemingly pale fingers exerted an unexpected amount of force, easily pulling the two-hundred-pound Zhou Shan back.

    “?”

    Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment.

    “I don’t want to put on ointment, the smell is awful.” Jun Changfeng frowned, perfectly emphasizing his “delicacy” at this moment. Zhou Shan immediately dismissed the slight sense of incongruity he felt upon hearing the voice, standing there somewhat at a loss.

    After a moment of silence, Jun Changfeng took the initiative to break the deadlock.

    “It would be enough if you just accompany me back to rest.” Jun Changfeng raised his beautiful dark eyes, looking at Zhou Shan with a hint of hesitation. “If you still want to play, I’ll go back alone. Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.”

    While saying this, the desolate expression on Jun Changfeng’s face didn’t match his words at all. Zhou Shan fell for it immediately, frowning in disapproval. “How can you do that alone? What if you burn yourself again? We can go skiing anytime. I’ll go back with you.”

    To show that he really didn’t care, Zhou Shan didn’t wait for a response and directly pushed him towards the corridor.

    Jun Changfeng secretly curved his lips, his tone still like a delicate white flower, being pushed by Zhou Shan as he said, “Then I’ll come with you next time, as a thank you…”

    The voices of the two gradually faded away. Gu Nian watched from the side, stunned, and couldn’t figure out what Jun Changfeng was trying to do.

    Even if he wanted to play the victim, why did he have to drag him into it and be so provocative?

    Gu Nian couldn’t wrap his head around it. Just as he was about to close the door, it opened again. The person who came was still panting, and before he could catch his breath, he rushed to Gu Nian’s side, and without saying a word, started to check Gu Nian’s clothes.

    “Oh my god, what happened!” Lin Sui quickly noticed the wet marks on his pants and gasped.

    He felt that something must have happened when he saw Zhou Shan rushing back so anxiously, so he followed, but he was delayed by taking off his ski gear, so he was a step late.

    Seeing that Gu Nian was really hurt, he felt remorseful.

    “I’ll go find some burn cream.” Lin Sui got up decisively.

    Gu Nian casually patted the wet pants, not caring, and shook his head, “No need, I’ll just change my clothes, I can’t feel anything anyway.”

    He said this in a completely factual tone, and in fact, he himself thought so. But Lin Sui didn’t agree, pursing his lips seriously. “No small matter for the body. I’ll take you back to the room first.”

    Gu Nian wanted to see Lin Sui skiing even more, thought about it, and took a step back, saying, “I’ll go back and change my clothes myself, I’ll come back to find you later.”

    Lin Sui was stunned for a moment, and somehow the scene of Jun Changfeng acting spoiled with Zhou Shan that he had just seen suddenly appeared in his mind, and a strange emotion surged in his heart, making his chest feel full.

    How strange, why would he feel a little sad? Lin Sui pinched his fingers and said in a muffled voice, “Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”

    Gu Nian felt that Lin Sui’s emotions were a bit off, but didn’t know what was wrong. After repeatedly emphasizing that he was fine, he went back to change his clothes, looking back every few steps, and came back as quickly as possible.

    “Look, I’m really fine.” Gu Nian said pretending to be relaxed, “I just accidentally spilled water on myself, my skin is just a little red, nothing at all.”

    Lin Sui lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and rarely just said “oh” and didn’t continue. He sat absentmindedly on the sofa.

    Gu Nian panicked all of a sudden, cautiously approached a little, and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Are you in such a bad mood?”

    Lin Sui lowered the corners of his mouth and raised his head, only to meet Gu Nian’s dark eyes full of concern. The depression in his heart seemed to have suddenly evaporated, and was replaced by helplessness.

    “Sigh.”

    Lin Sui sighed.

    Gu Nian’s heart clenched, and he couldn’t figure out what happened even after racking his brains. In the end, he could only choose to use the universal trick, and said in a low voice directly, “I’m sorry.”

    Lin Sui chuckled, “What are you apologizing for, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

    “But you’re unhappy because of me.” Gu Nian pursed his lips.

    “Yes, I’m unhappy,” Lin Sui nodded frankly, seeing that Gu Nian’s expression was becoming more and more serious, suddenly reached out and poked the man’s furrowed brows, and said amusingly, “I said, you, you don’t even know why I’m unhappy, why are you apologizing? It’s really perfunctory, you know?”

    Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, and visibly tensed up, “I didn’t—”

    “I know.” Lin Sui interrupted him, suddenly moved from the sofa to in front of Gu Nian, hugged Gu Nian’s waist like a child, rubbed against him coquettishly, and murmured, “I’m unhappy because you always do everything yourself, but I also hope you can let me take care of you more, don’t always be so independent, you can also act spoiled with me sometimes.”

    Gu Nian touched the little head in his arms, and after a long time, found his voice, “I will.”

    Lin Sui curled his lips, obviously doubting the credibility of this statement. After thinking about it, he asked, “Then I’ll ask you, what should you say to me now?”

    A hint of a smile appeared in Gu Nian’s eyes, and his wide palm grabbed Lin Sui’s arm, directly pulling the whole person up and placing him on his lap to sit, rubbing his nose against Lin Sui’s shoulder, “Give me a hug.”

    Lin Sui blinked slowly, his ears heating up, and he pretended to be calm and commented, “It’s okay, but it’s a bit stiff, you need to practice more in the future.”

    The darkness in Gu Nian’s eyes deepened, and the action that was originally just a rub suddenly became a bit more aggressive. “Then… I want a kiss, huh?”

    He deliberately emphasized the last word, making people’s ears itch with sexiness. Lin Sui nodded as if bewitched, and the next second, his lips were taken, and a tongue that didn’t belong to him entered his mouth, wantonly licking every inch of soft flesh.

    This time, the person acting spoiled became Lin Sui, demonstrating what true acting spoiled was with his own body, but the effect seemed to have the opposite effect.

    ……

    On the other side, Zhou Shan felt more and more wrong after returning to the hotel. If it was an accidental spill of the water glass, how could he not see any water stains on the ground? Even if he was unlucky, it wouldn’t be possible to pour a whole glass of water on his leg, right?

    Moreover, Jun Changfeng’s reaction on the way was also very wrong. At first, it was still within the bounds of reason, but the more it went on, the guy seemed to be exposing his true colors, laughing as if he was in a good mood.

    Therefore, Zhou Shan looked at the man in front of him who was whining and acting spoiled, and confirmed at noon – this guy was probably faking it just now!

    Thinking about it, it’s winter and he’s wearing long underwear and cotton pants, how could it be so easy to get wet and touch the skin? Zhou Shan was confused at the time, but now that he’s reacted, he’s completely angry. No matter how much Jun Changfeng whined next to him, he didn’t look at him, sitting on the bed sulking.

    Jun Changfeng acted for a while and found it was useless, regretfully withdrawing his acting skills. He pushed his wheelchair to the bedside, lowered his eyes and said smoothly, “I’m sorry.”

    “…”

    Zhou Shan silently turned his back to Jun Changfeng, not wanting to say a word.

    Jun Changfeng didn’t care, and said to himself, “Although it’s my fault, I only did these things because of Zhou-xuezhang.”

    Zhou Shan turned around with a whoosh, his eyes widened in disbelief. “Don’t throw dirty water on me. When did I let you do this?”

    The smile on Jun Changfeng’s face gradually disappeared, and he said word by word, “Zhou-xuezhang said it himself before, your ideal type is Gu-zong.”

    Zhou Shan looked dumbfounded, “When did I say that… Wait a minute, you’re not talking about that time, are you?”

    Zhou Shan didn’t remember at first, but when he saw Jun Changfeng’s expression full of petty thoughts, he suddenly remembered, his mouth twitching, not knowing how to explain.

    The truth, of course, was far from what Jun Changfeng thought. This matter had to be traced back to a long time ago when Zhou Shan was studying abroad. Once, when he was out partying with friends and lost a game, Zhou Shan was asked what his ideal type was, but at that time, Zhou Shan’s mind was full of hard-won freedom and there was no ideal type, so he casually made up a childhood sweetheart image to deal with it…

    Zhou Shan really wanted to pry open Jun Changfeng’s head and see what was inside. Aside from being his childhood friend, what made him think that Gu Nian would be the type he liked!

    This is simply the most terrifying horror story in the world!
