It's hot, so hot that it makes you dizzy.
Especially with his body tightly bound, Hong Liang struggled until his hands and feet lost all strength, and he could only turn to the window to stay in a cool place.
Gu Xinglan happened to be standing right there.
When that foot was lifted, Hong Liang thought the man was going to step on his face, so he quickly closed his eyes, but it just passed by.
"Are you going to participate in equestrian events?" Gu Xinglan asked.
The person on the ground gritted their teeth, sweat dripping into their mouth, but refused to speak.
He had just asked several questions, and the man said he wouldn't say a word until the rope was untied.
"I want to go too."
Gu Xinglan sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling that he should indeed go with them on this trip.
In his previous life, Li Hetai was an excellent horseman. Every spring, when he went on outings, he would often ride his fiery red horse at high speed on the hillside. This was his greatest fear: whenever that person rode a horse, they would always take him along, and no matter how much he refused, he couldn't refuse.
System: [Host, are you telling a story?]
"These are memories in my mind."
System: [This doesn't sound like a good memory. You're telling a story. Do you remember Gu Xinglan, who hated Li Hetai to death by the Daming Lake?]
"..."
"I suspect my brain is deceiving me."
Self-hypnosis does exist.
He wanted to know whether he was a policeman or a psychologist.
Given his previous experience with the gun, he had to re-examine those seemingly painful and bizarre memories in his mind.
Or perhaps, due to the passage of time, his opinion of Li Hetai seems to have changed slightly.
Gu Xinglan thought to herself that she was probably too tired these past few days, and patted her head several times.
When they came to their senses, they saw Hong Liang lying on the ground with a strange expression on his face.
"Your name is Gu Xinglan?"
"Correct."
"The villa's female owner is also named Gu Xinglan."
"I know."
"She is your sister?"
“You can think of it this way.” The question was a bit dangerous, so Gu Xinglan stood up and looked downstairs.
Seeing that Li Hetai was agile, he actually jumped onto the trunk of the big tree opposite.
There was a nest of bird eggs on the tree trunk. The big bird chirped and spread its wings, trying to scare Li Hetai away, but it was no use. When Li Hetai climbed down the tree, he accidentally fell down with the bird's nest.
"I'm going down now. You can continue your cultivation here."
The room was too hot, so Gu Xinglan squatted down to help the person on the floor unbutton the top two buttons.
There were dense bite marks inside, and just one glance made Gu Xinglan realize that her hands were no longer clean.
"wait!"
Hong Liang gritted his teeth, "It's just going with me, it's just one more plane ticket. If you let me go, I'll agree."
“I’m not interested now. I’ll go find President Li. He’ll agree to my request.” Gu Xinglan climbed to the window.
Unexpectedly, Hong Liang on the floor suddenly sprang up and bit someone's trouser leg hard.
"..." There was a pulling force at his feet. He tugged a few times, but the other person gripped even tighter, and his pants waistband loosened a few centimeters.
"Mmm-hmm." I keep my word.
It's almost midnight now, and no one will come up to the fourth floor specifically for that. You'll probably have to wait until the next day to see anyone.
Hong Liang had never suffered like this before. His eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed determined not to let go until Gu Xinglan helped him untie him.
Helpless, Gu Xinglan retreated.
The longer time passed, the higher the temperature rose. Even though the person was already covered in sweat, they still clung tightly to his feet.
Gu Xinglan looked around but couldn't find a pair of scissors.
Finally, Gu Xinglan bent down, ready to pull down Hong Liang's pants.
"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!" What the hell are you trying to do?!
"Will you let go or not? If you don't, tomorrow when everyone comes over, they'll see you with your bare buttocks exposed."
Gu Xinglan deliberately made some harsh remarks.
The other person actually believed it, and two lines of tears flowed from their closed eyes.
It's so hot, and all this running around has almost killed me.
He pulled his leg back, walked to the window, and his hands were already gripping the window frame.
"wait!"
Hong Liang shouted hoarsely, "What's the use of you always going against me! Can't we cooperate?! The Li family is so big, why do you care about that rude brat?!"
Quietly, without any response, Hong Liang turned in another direction.
Gu Xinglan's figure was nowhere to be seen by the window.
"Hold!"
-
I made it downstairs without incident.
As soon as Gu Xinglan's feet touched the ground, she saw Li Hetai holding a bird's nest in the darkness.
"Let's go out to eat."
"I want to too!" Song Zhengsi, who was hiding in a nearby wooden house, saw the people upstairs finally come down and quickly ran over.
As a result, a cold and sinister gaze slowly crept over.
Song Zhengsi shivered.
“Okay, food tastes better with more people.” Gu Xinglan said with a smile, gently brushing the dust off her clothes and patting Li Hetai several times as well.
Every spot you pat under your palm will leave a hard lump.
This isn't from starvation; it's from over-exercising. He's made himself so thin. Remember when he was filming a show in an urban village, he fattened up Li Hetai up until he was plump and healthy. Now he's as thin as a monkey.
"Fine, I won't go with you..."
Hearing Song Zhengsi's hesitant words, Gu Xinglan looked up and saw the other person clenching his sleeve with a mixture of anticipation and unease.
"What's there to calculate? It's just a meal. I don't have a driver's license, and taking a taxi is too expensive. It's perfect that you drive."
“I understand the reasoning.” Song Zhengsi raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Hetai.
Seeing that Li Hetai simply lowered his head and did not exude any displeasure.
"Since you've invited me, I'll reluctantly go."
The three of them got into the car and went to a private restaurant, where they ordered a large table of dishes.
Halfway through the meal, the air conditioning in the restaurant suddenly went out. The owner brought fruit platters to each table, saying that the air conditioning repairman was on his way.
As it gets hotter.
Gu Xinglan took a bottle of beer and walked to the roadside, where she sat on a bench to get some fresh air.
At two in the morning, the wind had made it less stuffy, but the ground was still slightly warm.
As I looked up to drink, I caught a glimpse of a figure backlit by the light getting closer and closer.
Li Hetai, holding an ice pop, walked up to Gu Xinglan.
Do you want to get a haircut?
The hair felt great to the touch after it was cut short; it pricked his fingers when he touched it, like a massage.
Gu Xinglan didn't know what expression to make, so she could only touch her head back and forth a couple of times.
"Do you still remember the conditions you promised me?"
condition?
Gu Xinglan racked her brains, and under Li Hetai's increasingly cold gaze, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind.
[I don't want the amusement park.] [You have to promise me one thing.] [We'll talk about it later.]
It was when he went to pick up Lai Ho-tai during the filming of the show, and the production team asked him to put away Lai Ho-tai's phone. That's what Lai Ho-tai said to him.
As the beer took effect, Gu Xinglan shook her head and said seriously, looking at Li Hetai's stern face, "You didn't even make a pinky promise with me back then, so it doesn't count."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air pressure around him dropped.
A cool breeze suddenly swept through the area where Li Hetai was standing.
Gu Xinglan shrank his neck and placed the beer can beside him.
"However, on the other hand, a gentleman's word is his bond. Once spoken, it's like a chariot pulled by four horses. Just ask, and I'll do what I can."
