Online Dating Fiasco with the Campus Heartthrob (DATING)
Ji Su remembered those cold, pitch-black eyes and suddenly felt a chill run through him.
That’s true.
With Gu Zhao’s personality, family background, and being a top student in law, he probably wouldn’t be scammed by an online partner.
"Well, if you say so, then we won’t worry about it." Qiao Jin said with a smile. "After all, not everyone runs into online scammers."
"Exactly!" Zhou Yang agreed while sounding a bit relieved. "Now we don’t have to worry about Brother Gu ending up alone for the rest of his life."
Qiao Jin couldn’t help but ask curiously, "When you first met Gu Zhao, was he like this?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Yang waved his hand. "When we first moved into the dorm, Brother Gu wouldn’t talk to anyone. I remember it took us a whole week before we could even have a conversation with him."
Ji Su: "..."
"Impressive!" Qiao Jin gave a thumbs up. "I’d be dying if I didn’t talk to anyone for an hour, but he managed to hold out for a week."
"That’s just Brother Gu’s personality. He seems hard to approach, but he’s actually really nice." Zhou Yang drew a circle in the air. "Once you’re inside the circle he draws, you’ll understand."
"This…" Qiao Jin forced a laugh. "That might be a bit difficult, haha…"
"Hey, I have an idea!" Zhou Yang suddenly got excited. "Why don’t we all go out together during the May Day holiday? A few days of hanging out, and we’ll all get to know each other!"
Qiao Jin and Ji Su exchanged a glance, and Qiao Jin eagerly agreed, "Sure! Susu and I were planning to go on a trip during the holiday anyway!"
"Great!" Zhou Yang’s smile widened. "Let me know if there’s anywhere you want to go, and we’ll plan it together."
Qiao Jin, unusually shy, said, "Okay."
After dinner, the three of them went their separate ways back to the dorm.
On the way back, Qiao Jin was as excited as a monkey. "Susu, Susu, did you see Zhou Yang’s hand?"
"Yeah, I saw it." Ji Su teased. "Looks like he really likes the birthday gift you gave him."
"Ahhh!" Qiao Jin grabbed his arm and shook it hard. "He even invited me to go on a trip with him!"
Ji Su steadied himself. "Calm down. There are other people going too."
"I don’t care, I don’t care. When rounding up, it’s just me and him!" Qiao Jin made a fist and vowed, "I’m going to seize this opportunity and win over my crush!"
Ji Su mimicked his gesture and made a fist. "Go for it. You can do it."
Qiao Jin put his hand down. "By the way, Susu, you’re coming with me, right?"
Ji Su hesitated. "I…"
On one hand, he didn’t want to travel with people he wasn’t familiar with, especially when there was a block of ice like Gu Zhao in the group.
But if he didn’t go on the trip, he’d have to go back to a home that didn’t feel like his and pretend he wasn’t an outsider…
"Come on, come on!" Qiao Jin started shaking him again. "If you don’t like Gu Zhao then just stay away from him during the trip."
Ji Su smiled helplessly. "I don’t dislike him. I’m just not good at interacting with such aloof people."
"Who is?" Qiao Jin complained, then added, "But at least his face is nice to look at, right?"
Ji Su nodded. "If I don’t have anything else planned for the holiday, I’ll go with you."
Qiao Jin immediately jumped up and declared, "Ahhh! Susu, my love, I love you!"
Ji Su kept walking and just left a parting remark. "Don’t love me. It’s hopeless."
.........
Back in the dorm, Ji Su remembered the pile of skirts hidden in his closet and decided to deal with them quickly.
He picked out two short skirts to keep and packed up the rest to deliver to his senior’s dorm.
Lin Yan took out a dress from the pile and exclaimed, "These skirts are all so pretty. Why couldn’t they sell?"
Ji Su didn’t tell her that the sleazebag had sent him these skirts.
He just said that a relative’s women’s clothing store had gone out of business, and many of the clothes hadn’t been sold.
He was afraid that if he told her the truth, she’d die of anger.
"Maybe… that relative wasn’t good at business." Ji Su, who is not good at lying, changed the subject. "Senior, if you don’t like these clothes, could you help me donate them?"
"I like them! Of course I like them!" Lin Yan stroked the dress in her hands. "But the sizes might not fit. I’ll go back to my dorm and try them on first."
"Okay." Ji Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I’ll head back now, Senior."
"Wait, Susu, let me send you some money." Lin Yan called after him. "There are so many pretty skirts here. I can’t just take them for free."
Ji Su politely declined, “Senior, there’s no need to transfer me money. I didn’t pay for these dresses myself, and I should be thanking you for helping me get rid of them.”
“Alright, then I’ll introduce you to another big client.” Lin Yan winked at him, “I’ll send you their contact later.”
Ji Su smiled and didn’t refuse this time, “Thank you, senior.”
“No need to be so polite with me!” Lin Yan said, then suddenly remembered something, “By the way, Susu, did you get that scumbag’s nude photos?”
Ji Su hesitated but answered truthfully, “He sent me a photo of his abs, but his face wasn’t in it.”
“What?” Lin Yan was shocked, “That jerk actually has abs?”
Ji Su: “Yes…”
“No way! If a guy has abs, he’d definitely show them off to me!” Lin Yan declared firmly, “He must’ve stolen that photo from somewhere! Shameless!”
Ji Su added, “He also sent a video, but his face wasn’t in that either.”
Lin Yan was certain, “The video’s stolen too!”
Ji Su: “…”
“The only way to prove it’s him is to video call him,” Lin Yan suggested, “Record the call, and he won’t be able to escape.”
Ji Su was a bit hesitant, “If he sees I’m a guy, he’ll hang up immediately.”
“He won’t,” Lin Yan’s gaze fell on Ji Su’s pretty face, and she was tempted to touch it, “Ji Su, just wear a wig and some light makeup—”
“No!” Ji Su refused outright and took a step back, “I’ll find another way to resolve this quickly. Senior, wait for my update.”
With that, he quickly fled the scene because he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the senior would force him to cross-dress.
Taking leg photos in a dress was already his limit. He would never wear a wig or makeup—that was his last shred of dignity as a straight man.
.........
Back in the dorm, Ji Su found that his other two roommates hadn’t returned yet.
He skillfully changed into a short skirt in the bathroom, then walked out, “Xiao Qiao, come help me take photos.”
“Coming!” Qiao Jin got up and walked over then noticed a few black straps on the bed, “What’s this?”
Ji Su shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Qiao Jin picked up the black straps then glanced at Ji Su, and suddenly understood, “I know how to use these.”
Ji Su: “Huh?”
Qiao Jin gestured, “Susu, lift your shirt.”
Ji Su was wary, “Why?”
“These straps are for tying around your waist,” Qiao Jin grinned, “Bondage play—the scumbag’s got good taste!”
Ji Su: “Can I refuse…”
“No!” Qiao Jin stepped forward and started tying the black straps around Ji Su’s slender waist.
Once tied, Ji Su followed Qiao Jin’s instructions and lay on the bed while twisting his waist slightly.
“Xiao Qiao, this pose…” Ji Su tugged at the hem of the short skirt, “It feels like it’s not covering much…”
“That’s the point, babe!” Qiao Jin aimed the phone camera from above at the pretty figure in the dress, “We need to give the scumbag a strong dose. Don’t you want to end your online scam soon?”
Ji Su frowned slightly while seemingly weighing his options.
Qiao Jin continued his persuasion, “Besides, you’re straight, and he’s straight. It’s not like you’re losing anything by showing him, right?”
Ji Su bit his lower lip and finally gave in.
Qiao Jin smiled in satisfaction and took plenty of photos.
Afterward, Ji Su immediately sat up and got off the bed to change back into his normal clothes.
Then he logged into his WeChat alt account and sent one of the photos to G.
In the photo, the person lay on their side on the bed with their shirt lifted halfway that reveals a thin waist crisscrossed with black straps—white, narrow, and delicate, evoking a strange urge to tear the straps apart.
The black short skirt barely covered the round, perky buttocks and revealed a hint of the plump curve.
The long, slender legs were pressed together with white lace stockings clinging to the thighs, as if a single touch would make the tender flesh spill through the fingers, or as if lifting the skirt would lead to…
Ji Su didn’t dare look at the photo of himself for too long and focused on typing.
Meng Meng: [Senior, the dress you bought is so pretty!]
A minute later, two new messages popped up in the chat box.
G: [Don’t tease.]
G: [I’m still outside.]
Tease? Tease what?
Ji Su froze for a second then a blush rapidly spread across his ears and cheeks.
Although he’d often sent leg photos before, this one was a bit too much. Even he felt embarrassed looking at it.
But since the photo was already sent, he had no choice but to brazenly continue.
Meng Meng: [Gege, don’t you like it~]
The other side was silent for a while with no response.
Ji Su felt a bit uneasy and checked the photo again to make sure no obvious gender features were visible.
That’s strange, doesn’t the scumbag like this kind of photo?
Just as Ji Su was about to test the waters again, the other side finally replied.
G: [I like it.]
Meng Meng: [You’re lying. Because if you are, then why did you take so long to reply…]
Meng Meng: [Sad cat emoji.jpg]
This time, the other side sent a voice message.
Ji Su clicked on it and held the phone to his ear.
“I really like it.” a deep, cool voice came through that was tinged with a barely noticeable hoarseness, “I like it even more when you tease only me.”
Ji Su’s ears tingled, and even his fair, delicate neck turned red.
