Chapter 35
The lights flickered on their faces, flickering on and off, and the noisy and boiling atmosphere around them seemed to freeze.
Gu Chixi glanced at Wen Ning, and then turned to meet He Yu’s scrutiny eyes. She didn’t know whether to admit or deny. In this case, she couldn’t make an opinion, she had to cooperate with Wen Ning’s thoughts.
She pursed her lips in silence.
There was a wordless embarrassment that circulated between them.
After a long while, Qiu Yiran looked at that, looked at this, swept his eyes back and forth, and finally realized that he had said the wrong thing. She wondered again, as a friend, He Yu didn’t know?
Now that she changed her lip, she immediately turned her attention to He Yu, “Who is this?”
He Yu wore a short vest with a snakeskin pattern, revealing a large waist, line, belly, and navel. She had wheatish-colored skin, and her facial features were as deep as mixed blood. The large dark blue butterfly on her shoulders was lifelike and extremely sexy.
It looks pretty wild.
Qiu Yiran swept the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.
“My friend, He Yu, is also the boss here.” Wen Ning hurriedly interrupted her introduction, turned to her side, and blocked half of her vision.
Qiu Yiran showed a slightly surprised expression on his face, nodded and said with a smile, “Hello, Qiu Yiran, Sister Xi is my friend.”
Finally, He Yu came back to her senses, looked away from Gu Chixi, looked at Xiao Tiansheng, and smiled politely.
The solidified air cracked open.
Lights, music, and human voices poured in like water, dispelling the momentary embarrassment.
“You go and sit first,” Gu Chixi said softly, looking at Wen Ning, “I’ll follow.”
“Okay.” Wen Ning pulled He Yu around and left.
The booth with the best view was in front, facing the bar diagonally. Gu Chixi watched the two go over to sit down, withdrew his gaze, turned around, but could feel the gaze falling on him.
“Sister Xi…” Qiu Yiran looked at her awkwardly, “Did I cause trouble?”
Gu Chixi shook his head and said, “It’s okay, I don’t blame you, I didn’t make it clear.”
Obviously got into trouble.
But there is still a chance to save.
Qiu Yiran knew that he had said something wrong, sighed, and asked, “Do you know that pilot?”
In her understanding, it is impossible for an ordinary boss to come to a bar alone with ordinary employees, unless the relationship is very good, so it is either a friend or—
Gu Chixi frowned.
Blue and purple lights fell on her face alternately, illuminating her temperatureless eyes. She seemed to say to herself, “Remember the green plum I mentioned to you?”
Qiu Yiran paused, nodded, and suddenly realized: “It turned out to be her…”
The year before last, in the summer in the UK, Gu Chixi said that he had a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. His relationship for more than ten years was cut off because he went out to study. Maybe he would never see each other again in this life, which is a pity.
She didn’t say much, and Qiu Yiran didn’t ask much, just comforted her.
“Um.”
Gu Chixi lowered his eyes and turned the cross ring on his hand.
The liveliness around her didn’t seem to belong to her. An invisible transparent glass wall blocked her. She was silent in the pain brought by the old times, quiet and lonely.
Coincidentally too.
The person who never forgets is actually in his own company. Qiu Yiran sighed, but then seemed to remember something, “Sister Xi…”
“Um?”
“Did you deliberately choose to inherit the Huanya lineage?”
Gu Chixi paused with her fingertips, raised her gaze and lowered her gaze, “Yes.”
She knew that Wen Ning was working at Plaza Air Asia.
At that time, her father died, and her will had been made clear in advance. In addition to a large amount of real estate, she had the freedom to choose a series of properties at will. She chose the Huanya Department without hesitation, even though she didn’t know how to fly a plane and didn’t know much about the civil aviation industry.
“God—”
Qiu Yiran exclaimed, pushed the empty glasses frame, and said in disbelief, “Are you too daring?”
She didn’t quite understand Gu Chixi’s choice.
If it was her, she would never be able to touch an unfamiliar field for the sake of one person, especially at a critical juncture, where the pressure is huge, like making a bet. She doesn’t have that much ability and doesn’t take on such a heavy job.
I’m used to spending my time, I’m used to waves, and I prioritize my own feelings when making any choice.
“I don’t see that you are still an affectionate kind.” Qiu Yiran sighed.
Gu Chixi pursed her lips and said nothing.
The waiter walked by, she stopped and ordered a mojito.
“Why did you come to the bar?”
“Goodbye to my handsome boy.”
All kinds of light spots are projected on the wall, like soda candy falling into the ice lake. There are more and more people in the bar, and the atmosphere is strong. Qiu Yiran silently accompanied Gu Chixi to drink, glanced at He Yu inadvertently, repeated several times, suddenly He Yu looked here and bumped into her.
The two silently looked away from each other.
In the booth, Wen Ning drank silently.
She stared at the swaying figures on the stage, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, she drank cup after cup, like pouring water, absent-minded.
He Yu looked at her from the side, saw that the bottle was more than half empty, and hurriedly took it away, frowned and said, “Take it easy.”
“Oh.”
Wen Ning obediently put down the cup.
The two were quiet.
He Yu held back her words and wanted to ask, but she didn’t dare to ask. From time to time, she turned her head to look at the two people sitting at the bar. After thinking for a while, she said, “Ningzai, explain it to me.”
“Huh?” Wen Ning tried to play stupid.
“That Mr. Gu.”
“…”
Her sharp eyes were scrutinized, and Wen Ning was unavoidable, with an embarrassed look on her face, she hesitated for a while, and whispered, “It’s the boss of our company.”
“It means you lied to me before.” He Yu said in a determined tone, her face calm.
The calmer it is, the more fearful it will teach people.
Wen Ning felt flustered and uncomfortable, her brows knit together, and she took her hand, “Xiaoyu…I didn’t mean to lie to you…”
“She likes to keep a low profile and doesn’t want others to know about it. It was so sudden that day, and I really can’t think of how to explain it.”
He Yu turned her face and let her cover her hand.
The palms were warm and soft, the skin and the skin were close together, and there was a dense electric current rushing up, stabbing the heart and itching.
The breath disappeared a lot.
“Xiaoyu—”
“I was wrong, Xiaoyu, now I’ll tell you the truth, don’t be angry.” Wen Ning rubbed her hand and begged for mercy pitifully.
He Yu sneered and said, “If her friend hadn’t leaked her tongue, you would have been lying to me.” After speaking, she turned to look at the bar, Qiu Yiran’s profile stopped for a few seconds, and then turned back.
It’s still pretty.
“I’m sorry.” Wen Ning lowered her head.
Her parents died, Gu Chixi was not there, and there were not many close people around her. He Yu was very important to her, and she didn’t want to affect the relationship between the two because of such trivial matters. But today I explained it clearly, but next time I don’t know how to start talking about marriage. She lied to He Yu more than once.
I don’t know what will happen next time.
“never mind…”
Seeing her low and pitiful appearance, He Yu couldn’t bear it, sighed, and brought the person over to lean on her shoulder.
Suddenly, a guess flashed through my mind.
“Wait, lemon cub.”
“?”
“You shouldn’t be raised by her, right?!” He Yu held Wen Ning’s shoulders and sat up straight, forcing her to look at her.
Wen Ning’s heart jumped suddenly, “How is it possible, don’t think about it.”
No package. Support.
just married.
She whispered in her heart.
He Yu didn’t believe it, her eyes suddenly sharpened, “Otherwise, how can she live in your house? It’s impossible for someone who can be a boss to have no money to buy a house? Besides, she still has your house key, and I don’t have it, which means that you and her are more familiar than me. But your company only changed the boss a few months ago, and you also said that the salary arrears is not her fault. It is estimated that it has been less than half a year. Have you become so familiar with you in such a short period of time? Can you just take the keys in and out of your house? ?”
A series of questions, aggressive.
The light changed from blue to red, then from red to purple, illuminating her face like a ghost.
Wen Ning was speechless when asked.
A lie that was told casually needs to be filled with countless lies. She wanted to explain it, but she didn’t know where to start. Her lips opened and closed, and she was silent in the end.
He Yu’s expression instantly collapsed, and water light flashed in his eyes.
“Lemon cub, you—”
“I’m not being kept!” Wen Ning said irritably, being misunderstood by people close to her would be worse than death, so she simply told the truth.
“She has known me for more than ten years. She used to live next door to my house, and then she moved away and went to study outside. She just came back this year, it’s that simple!”
“And she only occasionally lives in my house.”
The music drowned out the noisy human voice, and her irritability was drowned out, like boiling water vapor, evaporated, dispersed, and disappeared.
He Yu chewed these words over and over again.
She still felt unbelievable in her heart, because everything was too coincidental, and something in her subconscious was driving her to deny it. When she thought that Wen Ning had a green plum she had known for more than ten years and acted so delicately, she felt a strong sense of unease.
“Why haven’t I heard you mention it before?” she asked.
Wen Ning sneered: “If you mention her, she will die… I haven’t been in contact for seven years.”
“She’s bent?”
“Um.”
“like you?”
“I don’t know,” Wen Ning picked up the cup and drank the wine, “don’t think about it, I was in a good mood at night, tired or not.”
He Yu understood that there was no information to ask from Wen Ning, so she didn’t say anything, and glanced at the bar again, Qiu Yiran’s profile, and a plan was brewing in her heart.
At eight o’clock, the game started, Gu Chixi and Qiu Yiran sat down, and He Yu went to the backstage for inspection, and there were only three of them left in the booth.
Gu Chixi sat in the middle, next to Wen Ning on the left and Qiu Yiran on the right, with a space between them. At first, they all stared at the good-looking and tall players on the stage. Gu Chixi was expressionless from beginning to end, taking a sip of wine from time to time and glancing at the people next to him.
Wen Ning’s attention was not on the stage, but on Qiu Yiran.
Only Qiu Yiran was watching the game seriously.
Wen Ning couldn’t hide her curiosity when she looked at Qiu Yiran. In the more than ten years that she and Gu Chixi grew up together, they had no other close friends besides each other, but now a friend suddenly appeared, calling “Sister Xi” so intimately, so they must have a good relationship.
When will you meet?
Between the ages of ten and twenty-three, it can be ruled out, the only possibility is the friends Gu Chixi met outside during the seven years they were apart. Looking at the dress and demeanor, the conditions at home must not be bad.
Wen Ning guessed that Qiu Yiran might know a lot of what happened to Gu Chixi in the past seven years.
Just what she wanted to know.
While walking, Gu Chixi suddenly put down the wine glass and stood up, “I’m going to the toilet.”
She left the booth.
A couple on stage were dancing jazz dance. Qiu Yiran watched it with gusto, and suddenly found Wen Ning staring at him, “Miss Wen?”
“Just call me Wen Ning.”
“Okay, Wen Ning.” Qiu Yiran smiled sweetly at her, “You keep looking at me, don’t you think of me as a rival in love?”
“???”
“Sister Xi is chasing you, I know.”
“…”
Wen Ning’s heart that flew into her throat suddenly fell back to her chest. She smiled awkwardly, swallowed the words that came to her mouth and wanted to ask, and concentrated on watching the game.
A few minutes later, Gu Chixi came back.
There was still the mojito in front of him, half drank in two hours.
She stretched out her hand, but before she touched the glass, a strange woman in a red dress came over with a wine glass and looked at Wen Ning with a smile, as if she was about to say something.
“This is my girlfriend.” Gu Chixi said calmly, before the other party spoke.
After he finished speaking, he took Wen Ning’s shoulders.
The man smiled stiffly, said embarrassedly, and turned to leave.
Wen Ning struggled slightly and looked at Gu Chixi, who immediately took off his hand, showing a weak expression of wrongdoing on his face, but his eyes were firm.
She sighed, turning her face helplessly.
Gu Chixi stretched out her index and middle fingers, imitating the walking of a villain, slipped quietly to Wen Ning’s hand, raised her little thumb to hook her, and pursed her lips and smiled.
Wen Ning didn’t care.
“…”
The competition went on for a while. The dynamic lights were accompanied by the music with rhythm and drum beats. The atmosphere became more and more joyful, and the cheers from the bottom became louder.
Unfamiliar women kept coming over for drinks, or wanted to join them at the table, Gu Chixi blocked them one by one with a cold face, and gradually became impatient.
Places such as bars are too noisy, and she has never liked them very much. Today, she only came to accompany Wen Ning, and she already regretted when she revealed her identity, and now she wants to leave immediately.
“Lime.”
She hooked her pinky thumb.
Wen Ning retracted her hand subconsciously, “Huh?”
Warm. The warm palm wraps the little finger.
“I want to go back.” Gu Chixi tilted her head and approached her, clearly feeling the heat under her skin, and her heart trembled.
Wen Ning didn’t notice, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Then go back.”
“Am I alone?”
“otherwise?”
Gu Chixi curled her little finger, scratched her palm lightly, and lowered her voice: “Let’s go together.”
The lips that were close to her ear let out a faint breath.
Wen Ning shivered uncontrollably, turned her head to avoid her, and looked a little hesitant.
She hasn’t seen enough yet.
After a long stalemate, Gu Chixi saw that she was silent and reluctant, so she slowly retracted her little finger and said, “Then I’ll go back first.”
She lowered her tone, lowered her eyes, turned her head and said to Qiu Yiran.
Qiu Yiran was watching the game happily, and he pushed the empty black round mirror frame in surprise, “Leave so soon?”
“Well, don’t play too late.”
Gu Chixi stood up and glanced at Wen Ning with nostalgia from Yu Guang,
Walking out of the gate, the hot air rushed towards him, Gu Chixi called the driver and waited by the side of the road. Suddenly there was the sound of trot footsteps behind him, and there was another person beside him.
“Let’s go together.”
Wen Ning stood beside her and said looking at the air.
The night was dark, the silver plate-like full moon hung diagonally in the sky, and the city lights obscured the moonlight.
On the way back, Wen Ning didn’t say a word, just looked at the scenery outside the car window. Gu Chixi had mixed feelings in her heart.
Arriving at Tianhe Bay, Wen Ning opened the door first and entered the house, bowing her head to change her shoes.
Gu Chixi hugged her from behind, “Ling Ning—”
The person in his arms froze and grabbed the hand hooked on his waist.
“Do you blame me?” She hugged him tighter.
“What’s your fault?”
“If I didn’t go today, I wouldn’t…”
“It’s alright,” Wen Ning interrupted softly, “Who could have predicted the unexpected situation, it’s me who is to blame, and lie everywhere.”
Gu Chixi buried her face in her hair and closed her eyes, “Don’t say that.”
“Anyway, I told Xiaoyu the truth,” Wen Ning lowered her head, as if she was talking to herself. She moved her feet and changed her slippers. She grabbed her waist and applied force with her hands. try to break apart.
Gu Chixi was startled, thinking she was referring to marriage, but before she had time to rejoice, she was poured cold water on her head by her next words.
“Just don’t let people know about marriage.”
“…”
The light on the top of the porch was too bright, Gu Chixi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his arm drooped down.
“it is good.”
“I’m going to take a shower, good night.” Wen Ning didn’t turn her head back, and went upstairs with her slippers on.
Gu Chixi was still standing at the entrance, the cold white light reflected on her face as smooth as jade, it was clearly August, but she felt inexplicably cold, she took a deep breath, and the words of the eldest sister in the afternoon echoed in her mind.
She took out her phone, opened the memo, and added one.
