Xie Yunjing left right after he finished speaking, without any hesitation.
The atmosphere became strange, and everyone remained silent. It was only then that the boy, who was unaware of the situation, broke the silence, saying with great apology: "Gu, Gu..."
The name "Young Master Gu" was a bit shocking, but calling him by his name wasn't polite enough. He still wasn't sure how to address Gu Xian.
"Just call me Brother Xian, don't be nervous."
Li Yuqiu kindly reminded him, and the boy's voice became smoother: "Brother Xian, thank you for saving me, thank you so much, I..."
He bowed vigorously, feeling helpless about his own incompetence: "I have caused you trouble... I can go and explain to your boyfriend!"
The atmosphere that had just begun to relax suddenly froze again.
The ignorant boy also realized that something was wrong at this time, and asked in confusion and anxiety: "Did I say something wrong?"
"nothing."
Gu Xian tilted his head slightly, staring at the meaningless corner, and then turned his gaze back: "It's a small matter, don't take it to heart."
Xu Jia—the boy finally remembered to introduce himself, and he thanked her profusely, asking for her contact information with the intention of repaying her in the future. Li Yuqiu gave him her cell phone number, which finally allowed him to leave with peace of mind under the waiter's care.
Li Yuqiu leaned against the corner and watched them leave. After watching for a long time, he turned back and made a strange "fufufu" sound while putting his arm on Gu Xian's shoulder: "According to my survey, Xie Yunjing definitely came here on purpose."
Gu Xian pushed him away, feeling overwhelmed. "So?"
"I came here just to say that. What do you think—" Li Yuqiu stretched out his voice, his face becoming a little funny because of the over-exertion of winking. "Is he jealous—"
Gu Xian: “…”
Others also made strange noises.
Gu Xian took out his cell phone and tapped a few times on the lit screen.
Li Yuqiu peeked in and saw that Gu Xian had opened a chat app. The chat app's "ding dong" sound echoed from his trouser pocket, and he naturally took out his phone, which he had just put away, and asked curiously, "What did you send me?"
"The location of the Mental Health Center." Gu Xian sneered, "I suggest you control the water in your brain, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill you."
"And you too."
The others were just beginning to gloat, but were stunned by Gu Xian's look.
"Jealous? Jealous of what? Are you blind or have you lost your memory? You don't know what the relationship between me and Xie Yunjing is?"
"...a relationship involving kissing and smooching?"
"A relationship where we take off all our clothes and roll around together?"
"Are you planning to get married soon?"
"puff."
Gu Xian glared fiercely at Li Yuqiu, the only one present who knew the inside story but still dared to laugh out loud: "You're itching for trouble, aren't you?"
"Brother Xian!" One of the people who were gathered together to make a fuss jumped out, put on an awkward posture with his hands tied in front of his chest, and faced Gu Xian with his shoulder. "Go ahead and hit me! If you hit me, I will make you happy. You don't have to pity this delicate flower like me and make me cry!"
Gu Xian's face was tense, his expression wavering between anger and disgust. His lips trembled in a twisted manner, but in the end, he revealed a smile: "Go to hell!"
He laughed and cursed, "Stop disgusting me!"
The weird atmosphere that had existed since Xie Yunjing appeared was finally swept away.
Li Yuqiu and the others were laughing and rubbing shoulders. Gu Xian gave the slutty "delicate flower" what she wanted, and amidst her fake "ouch" he said disdainfully, "Xie Yunjing wouldn't be jealous, especially not of me. He came over and said that because he was afraid of losing face for their Xie family."
The laughing people stopped and looked at each other for a moment.
"But you guys really kissed, didn't you?"
"But you two really got together?"
"But you're really getting married?"
Gu Xian was furious: "Are you guys not done yet?"
"You can stay and continue playing. You don't have to follow me."
Gu Xian's persuasion was immediately met with objections.
"Brother, you just ruined an old pervert's plan. It's easy to get sacked if you walk alone!"
"Exactly! And there's that sinister Huang Wei. He might be hiding in the garage and puncturing your tires. If he sees you alone, he might just stab you!"
"Boohoo, without brother~brother~ the wine has become tasteless~"
Gu Xian: “…”
Gu Xian wanted to refute, but his physical combat ability was indeed a bit disappointing, so he could only point at the whimpering "delicate flower".
"This, it's better to bury it as soon as possible."
Gu Xian was not the only one who felt disgusted. "Jiaohua" was soon subjected to a brutal beating by a group of people.
"Jiaohua" screamed with a hint of laughter: "Help! Hahahahaha, I was wrong——"
"Gu Xian!"
A female voice suddenly rang out, interrupting everyone's "flower-destroying" action.
After looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Xian frowned: "Why are you here?"
The one who called him was the girl who had been drugged by Huang Wei before. Her name was Li Xiaoxiao. She was only nineteen years old and had just started her freshman year.
Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment, but quickly gathered herself together and looked at Gu Xian with sparkling eyes: "I came to find you!"
She gestured with her hands: "I didn't go in. I'll wait for you over there."
The "over there" Li Xiaoxiao was referring to was the security lounge in the underground garage, but Gu Xian still disagreed and said bluntly, "Didn't I tell you not to come to places like this again?"
"But I want to see you." Li Xiaoxiao did not back down because of Gu Xian's attitude. Instead, she became bolder. "I wait for you every day, but I go back at 9:30. I don't wait until very late—"
Gu Xian finally understood why Sheng Yi asked him ambiguously when he said he was leaving.
"Leaving at this hour?"
Gu Xian pretended not to understand the hint: "What do you want from me?"
Li Xiaoxiao took out an exquisite gift bag from her backpack: "I want to thank you for saving me last time. These are the cookies I made myself. And I want your contact information..."
She paused, and finally a hint of shyness appeared on her face: "I want to pursue you."
Gu Xian: “…”
He took the bag of handmade cookies from Li Xiaoxiao's hand, and then, looking at her delighted eyes, he said, "I'll accept your thank-you gift, but I refuse anything else."
This answer was not surprising. Li Xiaoxiao said casually, "Can I ask the reason?"
"I like the more mature ones."
"I can change it!"
"I'm not talking about your image, but your behavior." Gu Xian scrutinized her critically. "How much time have you wasted waiting for me here every day? Don't think you can just squander your time just because you're in college. You'll have plenty of time to regret it when you're close to graduation. You'd better seize the time and study hard..."
"Are you qualified to say that?"
Before Gu Xian finished speaking, a depressing voice interrupted him.
Gu Xian's forehead jumped, and he looked over unhappily: "I didn't know that the dignified Third Young Master Xie actually had a habit of stalking people."
"I didn't follow you," Xie Yunjing retorted sternly. "You were a slacker in college, skipping classes and sleeping through them all the time. You even did your homework perfunctorily or even skipped it. You failed over a dozen courses at the end of the semester and had to retake them several times before you even got your diploma. And you still have the nerve to tell people to 'study hard'?"
Gu Xian had a look of astonishment on his face: "How the hell do you know so much!"
He and Xie Yunjing are not in the same major, not even in the same college!
wrong!
He recovered from his shock and said angrily, "What do you care?"
"I really had no reason to care before. But now," Xie Yunjing glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, "I remind you again, we are getting married soon."
"Wow." Li Xiaoxiao showed an expression of "I'm shocked".
Gu Xian was horrified by her eyes that looked back and forth between him and Xie Yunjing, and gradually became relieved.
Because of his appearance and temperament, Xie Yunjing did look more mature and stable than his peers. Gu Xian felt a chill when he thought that the girl in front of him must have misunderstood that he liked Xie Yunjing based on the context.
But telling a girl who just rejected your confession that you have nothing to do with your actual marriage partner will obviously give her a bad and ambiguous hint.
Gu Xian felt like he had swallowed a fly and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. Xie Yunjing, on the other hand, was as calm as before and quickly walked out of Gu Xian's sight.
"Sorry." Li Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue awkwardly, then quickly fled.
Gu Xian and Li Yuqiu looked at each other in silence for a moment, seeing the belief of "jealousy" in their eyes becoming stronger and stronger, but they couldn't explain it at all.
“Wow—wow—”
Li Yuqiu and others shouted one after another.
Gu Xian glared at them fiercely: "Shut up! Are you guys the Frog Choir?"
There was no ring, no wedding, not even a small family dinner, which shows how much Mr. Xie disliked this marriage.
But Gu Xian is not much behind.
Xie Yunjing looked at him unhappily: "I thought you should at least wear formal clothes."
Gu Xian stood at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, tugging at the hoodie cord nonchalantly: "Come on, it's not like you don't know why we're here."
Xie Yunjing looked at the only housekeeper who followed him.
The old butler showed an amiable smile that made it hard to refuse: "Master Gu, the Third Young Master asked me to prepare some clothes. You should come with me to the car and change."
affectation!
Gu Xian rolled his eyes, but still followed the old butler.
Perhaps because both Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing were men, even though there was no joy on their faces, the staff in charge of marriage registration only confirmed it again suspiciously and then stamped the freshly taken photo of the two.
The matte feel of the marriage certificate cover made Gu Xian a little irritated. He stuffed the certificate roughly into his trouser pocket, scratched his neatly combed hair and was about to leave: "Are you okay? If you are, I'll leave."
"Master Gu!" The old housekeeper hurriedly grabbed him, his eyes wide in surprise, "How could you just leave like that!"
Gu Xian was puzzled: "Is there anything else?"
The old housekeeper asked in confusion: "Now that they are married, shouldn't the two young masters live together?"
“…”
Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing looked at each other in silence for a rare moment, and both saw something wrong in each other's eyes.
The bad premonition was confirmed when the old housekeeper pushed his suitcase and moved into the new house that was said to be arranged for them.
Xie Yunjing couldn't help but ask, "Kang Bo, aren't you going back?"
"I'm old now, and I can't take care of things at the old house, so I came to Third Young Master's place to slack off." Uncle Kang was packing things in the house with a smile on his face. His movements showed no sign of age having affected him at all. "Don't worry, Third Young Master. Although I'm not as good as I was when I was young, I can still take good care of you two."
Having said that, Xie Yunjing couldn't say anything to ask the old butler to leave.
Even though he knew in his heart that as long as the old butler was there, his and Gu Xian's every move would be reported to his grandfather.
In the afternoon, Xie Yunjing could still avoid spending time with Gu Xian on the grounds of work, but after dinner.
As Kang Bo packed up, he said, "Young Masters, please go upstairs and rest first."
After saying this, he winked ambiguously before walking towards the kitchen with the dishes in his hand.
Gu Xian stood at the dining table and felt suffocated.
Despicable and shameless Xie family!
With Comber around, it was impossible for him to even sleep in the guest room, let alone leave! He doubted that if he weren't a woman, Comber would even give him a white handkerchief and wait until the next morning to see if there was any blood on it!
