Quick Wear: An honest man is always criticized for forced love

Shen Jun almost subconsciously dialed Gu Jingzhou's number. The prompt sounded for a few seconds before the other party answered the call. Shen Jun heard the sound of Gu Jingzhou closing the car door. Had he gotten into the car in just a few seconds?

"Speak." Gu Jingzhou's voice came from the other end of the phone. Shen Jun came back to his senses. He said cautiously: "Gu Jingzhou... I'm really safe here. It's just that there are no buses back to the city tonight, so I'm staying here. I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

"Why did you go to that deep mountain forest? You knew there was no car, but you still ran so far? Do you really have to see this friend?" Gu Jingzhou's voice was a little cold.

Shen Jun held the phone in silence for a long while before he spoke: "My dad told me before that Uncle Lin is his best friend, and he really wants to see him again. I thought that if he wakes up recently, I can bring Uncle Lin over so that they can meet..."

After seeing each other for the last time, Shen Jun will take Shen An away from here, leave this city, and leave Gu Jingzhou. These are the words Shen Jun did not say. After leaving, he will never come back here, so he has to come to find Lin Ping, at least to let Shen An leave without any worries.

"Is there anyone who picks people up like you? Take the bus. Are you planning to ask your dad's old friend to follow you on the bus?"

When Gu Jingzhou said this, Shen Jun immediately felt that what he said made a lot of sense. Uncle Lin looked old. After going down the mountain and walking to the bus stop, Shen Jun, a young man, felt tired, let alone him, an old man.

What's more, Uncle Lin usually makes jade carvings and waits for people from the mountain to come up and sell them. He seldom goes down the mountain, and most of the things he needs in daily life are brought up by people who collect jade when they go up the mountain.

It was indeed a bit inappropriate to ask an old man like Uncle Lin to accompany him on this journey, but... he also didn't want Gu Jingzhou to come. If he came, would the gift he prepared be exposed?

As Shen Jun was thinking this, he heard the roar of a car starting up from the other end of the phone. "No... don't come..." Shen Jun said what he was thinking excitedly.

"Reason." Gu Jingzhou only replied with two words.

Shen Jun hesitated for a long time without making any clear explanation. Gu Jingzhou was very patient and waited for his answer. However, Shen Jun's slow brain made him unable to think of any good excuse when he got anxious.

"If you don't tell me, I'll take it as your agreement. Bye bye. It's inconvenient to drive." Gu Jingzhou really hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Now that he was really coming, Shen Jun was a little troubled for a moment. When Lin Ping came out with the carved gardenia, he saw Shen Jun squatting under his grape vines, staring blankly.

Lin Ping walked over and squatted beside Shen Jun, and handed the jade carving in his hand to Shen Jun, "What are you daydreaming about? Your work is done. See if there is anything else you want to change. Let me tell you in advance, I want to make some designs on your father's peace locket. It won't be ready tomorrow, so you have to wait a little longer."

Shen Jun turned around and looked at the lifelike sculpture of gardenia in Lin Ping's hand. It was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it. Shen Jun's poor vocabulary was simply unable to describe the shock he felt at the moment. The small gardenia seemed to have a hazy glow under the moonlight.

The piece that was dug out; Lin Ping made a sunken pistil, the petals curled slightly inwards and wrapped the pistil, it looked very beautiful. Shen Jun held it in both hands for fear of dropping it. He still had the ugly thing that he dropped in his pocket, which was completely different from this one.

"Nothing to change, Uncle Lin, you have great craftsmanship!" Shen Jun said happily while holding the jade carving. Lin Ping smiled proudly at his praise. "Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you are Shen An's son, you wouldn't be able to get this thing without waiting in line for several years."

Lin Ping paused and added, "When your father's peace locket is made tomorrow, you can go to the temple with me and have the monks in the mountains bless it before you take it away."

Shen Jun had no problem disagreeing with what Lin Ping said, but when he thought about Gu Jingzhou coming later, he didn't know how to explain it to Lin Ping. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Uncle Lin... a friend of mine is coming later, can you please not tell him about the Gardenia incident..."

"Hey! What's up? Your partner is chasing you? You guys are so young. I mean, it's only been a short time since we broke up that your partner is chasing you? How long have you two been dating?"

Shen Jun blushed and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Fortunately, Lin Ping didn't insist on asking him questions. He just asked him not to disturb his carving at night and the rest was up to him.

Shen Jun thanked him quickly, but Lin Ping just waved and went back into the carving room. Shen Jun took out a small cloth bag from somewhere, which was just enough to hold the two small things.

The one he carved himself was ugly, but you could still make out the little heart. The scraps of it could be placed just right on the center of the gardenia. Although it wasn't a perfect fit, it was still very harmonious.

Shen Jun put the two small gadgets close to his body and placed them close to his skin to avoid bumping into them. Guessing that Gu Jingzhou would be here soon, Shen Jun ran to the entrance on the mountainside to wait for him.

The bright light of the car lights meandered upwards along the mountain road until it finally illuminated Shen Jun's body. The mountain road was rugged and the body of the car was covered with dust. Gu Jingzhou opened the car and walked out with long legs. The car lights were not turned off, shining on Gu Jingzhou's back, illuminating every step he took towards Shen Jun.

"Gu Jingzhou!" Shen Jun waved at him. Gu Jingzhou's lips curled up, but he didn't respond but walked further.

He walked to Shen Jun and stopped. "Why are you standing here like an idiot? Are you afraid that I can't find it?" Gu Jingzhou's tone was calm, but Shen Jun heard something else.

"No..." He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but thinking that it was Gu Jingzhou's birthday soon, Shen Jun stopped talking, "Yes, I was afraid that you couldn't find it, so I waited for you here."

"Is that true or not? Why are you stuttering so much?" Gu Jingzhou deliberately lowered his voice and whispered close to Shen Jun's face.

Gu Jingzhou tried to get closer to Shen Jun but he didn't hide, he just lowered his head silently with his cheeks reddened.

A breeze blew through the mountains, carrying the faint fragrance of Gu Jingzhou to Shen Jun's nostrils. The moon was bright in the sky and the stars were sparse, and the breeze gently caressed his ears. Although it was just an ordinary day, Shen Jun would still recall the scene of that day many years later.

The conditions on the mountain were simple and could not compare to an established apartment. The bed in the house that Uncle Lin allocated to Shen Jun was the oldest wooden bed. It had been in disrepair for so long that it would creak when someone sat on it.

Fortunately, Uncle Lin is a clean person, and he kept the room very clean even when no one was living there. The bed was a little small, and it inevitably seemed cramped for two grown men lying on it. Even the quilt was a single quilt, and the two of them couldn't share it evenly.

Fortunately, the weather was not cold yet, so Shen Jun simply covered Gu Jingzhou with the quilt and moved to the side, trying not to squeeze Gu Jingzhou.

He had just separated from Gu Jingzhou by a few centimeters when a big hand suddenly appeared on his waist. Gu Jingzhou hugged Shen Jun and easily brought him into his arms.

The positions were reversed, and the hard bed board under Shen Jun became Gu Jingzhou. Before Shen Jun could even exclaim, Gu Jingzhou blocked his mouth with his mouth.

After the kiss, Shen Jun's face turned red as if he had been in a sauna. "The bed is small, so just sleep like this. If you dare to run, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves." Gu Jingzhou threatened in a cold tone.

Shen Jun inexplicably found it cute. They were going to leave soon anyway, and Shen Jun thought that even if this warmth did not belong to him in the end, he still wanted to indulge in the warmth from Gu Jingzhou for a while longer.

Shen Jun fell asleep in this strange posture, but Gu Jingzhou was a little surprised by how well behaved he was today. Feeling the steady breathing on his neck, Gu Jingzhou suddenly noticed something strange.

He reached his hand into Shen Jun's coat, and after a moment, a small cloth bag appeared in Gu Jingzhou's hand.
