Chapter 17 Chapter 17 To prevent them from meeting

Is he a randomly refreshed NPC? Why can I meet him everywhere? !

Gu Xingyan also seemed surprised to see the Nguyen Dynasty here.

He peered into the box and saw the flashing lights in the background, empty glasses piled on the bar, and a group of men and women gathered together.

The chaotic scene made his brows wrinkle a little, and his voice became a little cold.

"What are you doing here?"

Before Nguyen Chao could ask him why he was here, he asked back.

He was stunned for a moment and answered.

"Birthday party."

Gu Xingyan's expression softened for a moment, then froze again the next second.

He moved a little closer to Ruan Chao, staring at him closely with his dark eyes and his lips tightly drawn together.

"Have you been drinking?"

Your dog's nose is so useful.

Gu Xingyan's two consecutive questions put the Nguyen Dynasty at a disadvantage for no reason.

Perhaps it was because Gu Xingyan asked too frankly and too naturally, Ruan Chao did not think much about it, and subconsciously followed his train of thought, wanting to explain himself.

"I just drank a little..."

He suddenly realized that Gu Xingyan was not his relative and there was no need to say so much to him.

A little dog wants to control its owner.

I really don't know who I am.

"Yes, I drank a lot of wine." Ruan Chao said confidently, "I want to go back and drink some more later."

The smell of alcohol on Ruan Chao was not actually strong, just a slight one, mixed with a hint of fruity aroma.

It feels like the smell that's lingering in the environment.

Gu Xingyan didn't confirm that he had been drinking just because he smelled alcohol on him.

The Nguyen Dynasty seemed completely unaware of its situation.

His skin was very fair and tender, and a little bit of red was very obvious. One glance would let others notice that his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were all stained with alcohol, first spreading a little pink, then slowly deepening... and turning into a charming red.

Gu Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed his arm and pulled him out.

Ruan Chao originally wanted to resist, but he realized that the fake young master who replaced Gu Xingyan's identity was still in the box. Under the current circumstances, it seemed inappropriate for the two of them to meet.

So he did nothing and obediently let Gu Xingyan pull him to his side.

"You are drunk."

"I only drank this small glass." Ruan Chao used two fingers to measure the size of the glass. "How could I be drunk?"

Sometimes he said he had drunk a large glass of wine, and sometimes he said he had only drunk a small glass. It was obvious that he had become delirious and was talking nonsense.

Gu Xingyan did not argue with Nguyen Chao on this topic.

"Wait for me outside."

He touched Ruan Chao's forehead and felt the slight heat of his fingertips. The gloom in his eyes deepened. "Just stay here and don't go anywhere."

Gu Xingyan's palms were icy and cool, and they felt quite comfortable when they touched his face.

When he put his hand down, Nguyen Chao chased it a little further, like a kitten chasing a toy.

As if she was reluctant to let him leave.

Realizing what he was doing, Ruan Chao's expression froze and he stopped moving, half a beat slow to react.

He coughed lightly and pretended nothing had happened and asked Gu Xingyan, "What about you?" Seeing the wine on the cart, Ruan Chao blinked, "Go in and deliver the wine?"

Thinking of the fake young master surrounded by people in the box, Ruan Chao slowly frowned. He didn't really want Gu Xingyan to see him.

Although he knew very well in his heart that Gu Xingyan didn't know his own background yet and it was impossible for him to know him.

but……

Ruan Chao's gaze was fixed on Gu Xingyan.

He was wearing the bar's uniform waiter uniform: a white shirt inside, a black vest outside, and a light gray bow tie at the collar.

The clothes Xiang Zhijian was wearing were all limited edition high-end custom-made items from luxury brands, which could not be bought even if you had money.

In order to survive, Gu Xingyan had to work in a bar on weekends. Whether in school or outside, he was always alone.

Xiang Zhijian didn't have to do anything but stand there and become the center of attention.

This contrast made Nguyen Chao feel like his chest was choked and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Why don't you wait here for me? I'll go and help you."

Ruan Chao wanted to snatch Gu Xingyan's cart, but Gu Xingyan was worried that Ruan Chao would knock over the wine glass in his daze and accidentally hurt himself, so he stopped him from taking it.

The two of them stayed stuck outside the door for too long.

Chen Feng noticed something was wrong and walked over.

He grabbed Ruan Chao's shoulders and led him towards him.

"What are you talking about with the waiter so excitedly? They're playing games inside, and you're the only one missing..."

Chen Feng caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and he paused, turning his head to look at Gu Xingyan beside him.

"Who was it? It's you." He raised his lips with a fake smile, and his tone revealed a strange taste. "I was wondering why Ruan Chao was out chatting with people and didn't come back... It turns out that you hooked him up."

He squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Xingyan. Seeing that he was dressed as a waiter, his expression showed a little surprise. "You work here?"

Gu Xingyan's gaze moved downward and stopped at Chen Feng's hand that was holding Ruan Chao's shoulder. His expression was dim and unclear under the light.

The back of Chen Feng's hand twitched reflexively as if it was pricked by something.

Noticing the gloomy look in Gu Xingyan's eyes, what else was there for him to not understand... He hugged Ruan Chao into his arms, deliberately trying to make him unhappy.

But obviously, Nguyen Dynasty had no intention of playing along with him.

She simply threw his arm down, frowned, and complained unhappily.

"Why are you holding me? It's so hot."

Chen Feng: “…” There is really no tacit understanding at all.

He did the next best thing and grabbed Ruan Chao's wrist, wanting to show how good their relationship was in front of Gu Xingyan. It would be better if he could take this opportunity to make Gu Xingyan give up his thoughts about Ruan Chao.

The result was that they were ruthlessly thrown away by the Nguyen Dynasty.

The boy had a serious expression and repeated word by word, "I told you - don't catch me."

Chen Feng: “……Okay, okay, okay.” If I interfere in your business again, I will be a dog.

…

Because of Chen Feng's interruption, it was Gu Xingyan who finally came in to deliver the wine.

Ruan Chao followed him all the time, urging him in a low voice to put it down quickly and leave after that.

Gu Xingyan turned around and looked at the little tail that had been following him, and asked in the same low voice, "Then will you come with me?"

Ruan Chao was stunned for a moment.

Because of the effect of alcohol, his reaction was a little slower than usual.

There was also a slight mist in the eyes, shimmering under the gorgeous light.

"What am I going to do with you? Just stand aside and watch you work..."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that it would be better to stay with Gu Xingyan than to stay here and play games with a bunch of strangers. He completely forgot that he had a third option, which was to turn down everything and go home directly.

"It's not impossible. What time do you get off work? If it's too late, I won't wait for you."

"Nine o'clock."

"It's so late...it'll take another half an hour." Ruan Chao thought about it and agreed reluctantly, "Okay, then you have to hurry up."

The box was a mess.

Many people were gathered together, playing the roulette game. The two of them were chatting here as if no one was around, so they didn't attract much attention.

Gu Xingyan had just put the drinks down when there was a loud noise coming from the turntable.

The spinning top on the turntable spun to Xiang Zhijian, which meant that he had to complete the truth or dare game in this round.

Xiang Zhijian hesitated for a moment and chose the big adventure.

The person who imposed the punishment was a girl. She was embarrassed to make excessive demands, so she looked around and happened to see Gu Xingyan who came to deliver wine. Her eyes lit up slightly and she chose the most lavish punishment.

"Well, let's finish our glass of wine then."
