Chapter 12
Chapter 12
Gu Wangqiu got on the plane, bid farewell to Shan Jing, and arrived in country Y after more than ten hours.
He got off the plane and just turned on his phone when he received a text message from Li Mingshan.
[Li Mingshan: Zhou Jin is waiting for you at the airport. I have a meeting tonight, so I'll be back later. 】
There was no unnecessary nonsense, nor did he ask Gu Wangqiu why he came over suddenly, nor did he reject him and leave him alone at the airport.
Gu Wangqiu lowered his head, looking at the text message on his phone, his eye circles turned red after a long time.
He dug out the phone's address book and irrationally dialed Li Mingshan's number, but the phone rang once before he cut it off in a panic.
Li Mingshan told him that there was a meeting to be held, so he should be in a meeting, and he would appear very ignorant if he called this rashly.
Gu Wangqiu didn't know what was wrong with him, anyway, he just wanted to hear Li Mingshan's voice, and really wanted to cling to him.
In the past three years, he had never come to look for Li Mingshan so emotionally out of control like now, but at this time the person had already arrived at his place, but he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Will Li Mingshan hate him?Do you find him annoying?Came to look for him out of nowhere, called him unreasonably, and hung up the phone!
No matter how you think about it, he is ignorant, and he is afraid of leaving a bad impression on Li Mingshan.
But it was only a minute after he hung up the phone, and Li Mingshan's call came back to him.
Gu Wangqiu's heart beat like a drum.
He picked up the phone a little at a loss, and after the phone rang for several seconds, he answered the phone in a panic.
Li Mingshan's voice on the other end of the phone was very steady, and he didn't mean to blame him at all. "Reached?"
Gu Wangqiu: "Yes."
"Have you seen Zhou Jin?" Li Mingshan asked again.
"Not yet." Gu Wangqiu's voice was muffled. "I'm still waiting for my luggage."
"En." Li Mingshan replied, and then continued: "Go back to the hotel and have something to eat first. I'll order a hotel meal for you. After eating and sleeping, I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Gu Wangqiu responded.
He struggled with the phone for a long time, biting his lower lip with his teeth.
Li Mingshan was waiting for him on the other end of the phone, and he didn't hang up the phone in a hurry. The sound of steady breathing came through the handset of the phone, and fell straight into Gu Wangqiu's ears.
He suddenly asked softly: "Li, Mr. Li, when are you coming back?"
"Two hours at the latest." Li Mingshan gave him an accurate answer.
-
Back at the hotel where Li Mingshan was staying, Zhou Jin helped him put the suitcase in the lobby of the suite, and said to Gu Wangqiu, "Mr. Gu, do you want me to order a meal for you?"
"No need." Gu Wangqiu shook his head. "I... Mr. Li said that he has already ordered it for me."
"Okay, then you can contact me if you need anything." Zhou Jin replied.
"Okay." Gu Wangqiu sent Zhou Jin away, looking up at the suite.
The suite has everything, including a kitchen, living room and lounge, even a chess and card room, a computer room, and a dedicated private movie hall.
Gu Wangqiu turned around twice casually, found the master bedroom of the room, pushed open the door, and found two sets of Li Mingshan's suits on the bed in the room, neatly placed there.
Gu Wangqiu didn't touch it casually, he took his suitcase and walked into the second bedroom next door, opened the suitcase, took out a few sets of clean clothes and hung them in the cabinet, and put the toiletries in the bathroom of the second bedroom.
Soon, the doorbell of the hotel room was rang from outside.
Gu Wangqiu ran over to open the door wearing slippers.
Standing outside the door was a foreign waiter with flamboyant blond hair and makeup on his face, communicating with Gu Wangqiu in fluent Chinese.
"Hello, sir! Your meal has been served, can I push it in for you?" the waiter said with a smile.
Gu Wangqiu looked at his golden hair and subconsciously replied: "okay, thank you."
The waiter was very dedicated and helped him put the meals on the table in the living room, and also helped him set up the knives and forks for eating, which was polite and thoughtful.
"Sir, I wish you a pleasant meal!"
Before going out, the waiter suddenly turned around, looked at Gu Wangqiu with a meaningful smile, and said in fluent English: "The gentle many you live with speaks Chinese and is very handsome."
Gu Wangqiu was slightly taken aback, although he should be happy to hear others praise Li Mingshan, but he couldn't smile when he saw the waiter's monstrous face.
Obviously, the waiter was very interested in Li Mingshan.
Gu Wangqiu seemed to have no appetite for the food on the table, he couldn't eat it.
He was too tired from the flight, and he had not yet reversed the jet lag. Now he just felt dizzy and just wanted to sleep.
So he went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into his pajamas, and went back to the room to lie down.
At night, when Li Mingshan came back from the outside, there was a sound of card swiping at the door of the hotel, and Gu Wangqiu was awakened quickly.
He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the door, and listened carefully with his ears.
The man's steady footsteps walked from the door all the way to the restaurant, and then stopped by the dining table.
He heard Li Mingshan reach out and lift the lid of the meal, and not long after, he put the lid down again.
The sound of footsteps approached the room again, first glanced at the master bedroom, and finally walked towards the second bedroom.
Gu Wangqiu hurriedly turned his body back, covered him with a quilt, hid in the bed, and quietly waited for Li Mingshan to come in.
His heart was pounding and his body was tense.
Li Mingshan knocked lightly on the door of his room with his hand, but he didn't hear a sound, then quietly opened the door of the second bedroom, and took a look into the room.
There is a scent of bamboo floating in the air, with a slight sweetness in the fragrance, like the fragrance of morning dew in the bamboo forest after the rain.
This is the smell of Gu Wangqiu's body. He likes to smell the scent of bamboo. The smell is very light, yet elegant, and refreshing.
Li Mingshan pushed open the door and walked in. Gu Wangqiu lay on the bed and did not dare to move until Li Mingshan got closer. He even smelled the familiar scent of agarwood and sandalwood on Li Mingshan through the quilt.
"Qiuqiu?" Li Mingshan's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person on the bed.
Gu Wangqiu was lying down, trying to pretend to be asleep, but he was afraid that Li Mingshan would leave, so he pretended to wake up from a dream, turned over, breathed in the smell of Li Mingshan, and opened his eyes in a daze.
Li Mingshan reached out and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.
The light was soft, illuminating Gu Wangqiu's delicate and beautiful face. A pair of amber eyes were only half opened, and the other half was covered by the upper eyelid and long eyelashes.
"Mr. Li?" Gu Wangqiu called him pretending to be in a daze.
"En." Li Mingshan sat down beside his bed, replied heavily, and stretched out his hands to straighten the hair on his forehead. "Why didn't you have dinner?"
"Not too hungry." Gu Wangqiu felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the waiter who delivered the food. "I do not want to eat."
His tone of voice was a little heavy, even he didn't notice it, his pale pink lips were slightly pursed, looking a little angry.
Li Mingshan's deep eyes stared at him quietly. "What's wrong?"
Gu Wangqiu was slightly taken aback, thinking he was asking why he came here suddenly.
But Gu Wangqiu didn't want to talk, so he kept silent.
Li Mingshan was not angry when he looked at him, and said in a calm tone, "If you don't want to eat, you can just eat. Are you hungry? Shall I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Gu Wangqiu's eyes widened for a moment.
Looking at his bunny-like appearance, Li Mingshan couldn't help but lick his lips in a good mood, reached out and rubbed his head, then got up and walked towards the door of the room.
"Get up and wash your face, I'll cook noodles for you."
Gu Wangqiu's heart moved slightly, he immediately lifted the quilt, put on his slippers and ran into the bathroom to wash his face.
When he came out, Li Mingshan was already busy in the kitchen.
He took off the suit jacket on his body, and he was standing in front of the kitchen stove with his shirt sleeves rolled up, stirring the noodles in the pot with the chopsticks in his hand.
There was also the smell of fried eggs in the air.
Gu Wangqiu hurriedly followed him into the kitchen and stopped behind him.
He leaned forward and looked into the pot with his big wet eyes.
I don't know why, he seems to have no appetite on weekdays, and he even felt like vomiting after eating noodles for a while, but today when he saw the noodles cooking in the pot, he felt that they were extraordinarily delicious.
Maybe it's because Li Mingshan cooked the noodles for him.
Seeing him coming, Li Mingshan pointed to the cabinet next to him. "Take a bowl out of it, and wash some green vegetables and shallots by the way."
Gu Wangqiu was shocked.
Li Mingshan actually prepares vegetables and shallots in the hotel!
"Where are the vegetables and shallots?" Gu Wangqiu took out a bowl from the cabinet next to him.
"The cabinet above." Li Ming gave him instructions without lifting the mountain.
Gu Wangqiu reached out to open the upper cabinet, and he saw green vegetables and shallots, but when he was carrying the bag and was about to take them out, he ignored the two seasoning bottles next to them, and there was a crackling sound, and the seasoning bottles fell into the case on the table.
Li Mingshan immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, and reached out to take the bag in Gu Wangqiu's hand. Their fingertips touched together, and a warm and numb feeling came instantly.
This is completely different from the feeling of holding hands naturally before.
Li Mingshan put the bag of vegetables and shallots in the sink, and went to pick up the seasoning bottle that Gu Wangqiu dropped.
"Did you get hit?" He asked Gu Wangqiu while putting the seasoning bottle on the cabinet.
Gu Wangqiu looked up at him and shook his head.
"Shall I wash the vegetables for you?" The young man's fair fingers protruded from his sleeves, and he rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his white arms.
Li Mingshan's gaze followed his exposed skin all the way to his fingertips, and unconsciously rubbed the fingertips that had been touched.
At this time, Gu Wangqiu was very nervous. He was holding the vegetables in his hand, wishing he could rub the stalks of the vegetables to pieces.
