There were a few obvious differences between the guqin and the zither. First of all, the length of a guqin was about 1.2 meters, while the length of a zither was about 1.6 meters. The appearance of a guqin was lighter. Secondly, the guqin did not have a gauge, while the guzheng had a gauge. The gauge played the role of transmitting sound, affecting the different playing methods of the two. In addition, the zither had a narrow range, and the tone was simple and elegant. It produced different rhythms through different fingering of the strings, while the zither had a wide range, and the tone was pleasant and mellow. It could adjust the pitch by moving the string code in the same string. In addition, the zither needed a professional table to be placed, while the zither usually used a stand. In general, there were obvious differences between guqin and zither in terms of appearance, range, playing method, and placement.

Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.
