Qiao Xi accepted the bags. They seemed to contain clothes.

She opened one of the bags and looked at them with a subtle expression.

There was a bathing suit inside. It was a pink and white one. The sleeves were made of muslin and were light and elegant. There was a b.u.t.terfly knot on the chest and a pure-white short skirt.

She could not find a bathing suit, so Gu Zheng brought one over. The size was just right too. It was too sweet.

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with excitement as she hurriedly looked at the other bag. The bag was covered in dust, and it seemed to have been there for a long time.

She took out the clothes inside and took a look. This bathing suit…

Did he buy a size too small?

Song Shiyu hid at the door and stuck his head out quietly. He was dumbfounded when he saw the bathing suit. “d.a.m.n! That’s a children’s bathing suit! What kind of hobby does the president have?

“How shocking!”

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with shock as she held the swimsuit. She sized up Gu Zheng and said helplessly, “Did you buy the wrong one?”

Gu Zheng was calm as he said gently, “No, I bought it for you.”

Qiao Xi was puzzled.

Gu Zheng’s ears were red, but his face remained calm. “The first time you went into the water, I bought you this bathing suit. I hoped you could wear it to face your fears.”

Qiao Xi sank into her memories. When she was young, she got into the water for the first time under Gu Zheng’s encouragement. Her third brother was so scared that he directly carried her.

After that, she excitedly told her senior about it but he had only replied with an ‘okay’. He seemed to be very busy during those few days. Sometimes, he would only reply after a long time. However, she never got tired of texting him.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng, a wave of bitterness surging in her heart while her eyes were heavy.

“You… You still remember?”

Gu Zheng’s eyes were gentle. “It’s just that I never had the chance to give it to you after I bought it.”

At that time, Qiao Xi was especially happy to tell him that she had entered the water. Mo Yuan had only replied with an ‘okay’ and said that he would reward her. After that, they lost contact. It was only later that she found out that he had been injured.

After that, Qiao Xi forgot about this reward.

It turned out that he had already bought a gift many years ago.

Gu Zheng said gently, “After I bought the gift, I ran into some trouble and got injured. After a while, when I wanted to give you the gift again, the bathing suit didn’t fit you anymore.

“And you seemed to have forgotten about it, so I didn’t mention it.”

Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. “You didn’t even know if I could swim or not, so why did you buy me a new one?”

She looked at the pink bathing suit. She had to admit that Gu Zheng had good taste.

Gu Zheng smiled. “The present I promised you doesn’t fit anymore, so I should give you a new one.”

Qiao Xi was almost moved to tears.

Her senior was too kind. It was just a casual remark, but he remembered it.

Qiao Xi picked up the pink bathing suit and rushed into the bathroom, shouting, “Gu Zheng, quickly change your clothes. Let’s go swim!”

In next to no time, Qiao Xi pushed open the door of the bathroom and casually put on a towel before rushing to the backyard.

Gu Zheng took a deep breath. Although it was only for a moment, he could still see her slender waist and long legs clearly.

Her skin was fair, and her figure was well-proportioned. Every part of her body was perfect. She was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Qiao Xi did not realize how beautiful she was at this moment.

Gu Zheng grabbed her hand and covered his blushing cheeks. He waved his hand to signal Song Shiyu and Song Shijing to leave before he felt relieved again.

After Song Shiyu and Song Shijing left, Gu Zheng opened the door and held her hand as they prepared to go to the backyard.

Qiao Xi pushed the door open and was about to leave when a male voice sounded—

“Gu Zheng, are you going for a swim?”

Gu Yao rushed over like a silly boy and chuckled. “Bring me along! I haven’t been swimming for a long time too!”

Gu Zheng’s expression darkened as he picked Qiao Xi up and wrapped her tightly with a towel. He turned around coldly and closed the door with a bang.

Gu Yao had just rushed to the door when he was rejected. He looked innocent..
