So What If the Pretty Campus Belle Loves Money? (33)

"...How do I do it?" Gu Yanshen's voice faltered. "I don't know how."

Shi Zheng nearly laughed out loud.

The great President Gu himself didn't even know how to switch cameras on a video call?

She could almost picture him frowning at his phone screen, trying to figure it out.

His unfamiliarity with it, so different from his usual shrewd, capable manner, pleased her for some reason.

"It's easy." Shi Zheng held back a laugh and patiently guided him. "Do you see a few little icons at the bottom of the screen? Find the one that looks like two arrows forming a circle and tap it."

A faint tap on the screen came from the other end.

A few seconds later, Gu Yanshen's voice sounded again. "...Done."

The image on Shi Zheng's screen jolted as the view switched away from the ceiling.

But what came into view was not Gu Yanshen's handsome face, but the front of his robe.

He seemed to have gotten the camera angle wrong; it was pointed straight at his chest.

The belt of his robe was tied loosely, and the neckline hung open, exposing a broad expanse of flat chest.

His skin was a cool, pale white, glowing like jade in the light.

The lines of his chest muscles were well-defined without being exaggerated, rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

Farther down, the faint outlines of his abs disappeared beneath the overlapping folds of his robe.

The man who usually fastened his shirt with meticulous care, all the way to the top button, now appeared on video in such a homely robe, looking sexy.

With his neckline gaping open and his chest half exposed, the stark contrast packed a powerful punch.

Shi Zheng's breath caught almost imperceptibly.

She hadn't expected to see a sight like this.

This accidental display stirred the imagination even more than a direct view of his face, and was even more provocative.

For some reason, Shi Zheng's throat felt a little dry.

She licked her dry lips.

Only after a few seconds did she find her voice again. With a teasing lilt, she said softly, "Baby, are you... giving me a treat on purpose?"

Only then did Gu Yanshen belatedly realize what the camera was pointing at.

His body stiffened.

On the screen, the dark gray robe and his bare chest filled most of the frame. He could even feel the subtle sensation of being watched on his skin.

This was absolutely not what he had intended.

"...No." Gu Yanshen denied it at once, his voice betraying a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment.

He instinctively tried to adjust the angle.

His fingertip slid across the screen, but because he wasn't familiar with the controls, the camera shook again instead.

The neckline seemed to fall open a little wider, and the lines of his collarbones and chest muscles struck Shi Zheng's eyes even more clearly.

"Don't move," Shi Zheng said. "It's fine just like that."

Gu Yanshen keenly noticed Shi Zheng's gaze flick down for a moment on the screen, and her finger seemed to press something quickly on the side of her phone.

Gu Yanshen asked, "Zhengzheng, what are you doing?"

Even as he asked her, Gu Yanshen obediently held still.

He stayed that way, maintaining the camera angle and letting his body remain exposed to her gaze.

Shi Zheng's tone held no trace of panic at being caught, only a hint of unabashed slyness. "Taking a screenshot."

She answered so calmly, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

"A screenshot? Of what?"

"Of you, of course."

Shi Zheng complained, "You're always wearing that stern face, looking as though strangers should keep their distance."

"It's so rare to see this sexy side of you, baby. Of course I have to keep a memento."
