Chapter 65 Has He Stopped Loving Me?
"You guys play! I want to go play too!" Gu Xing put down the dice, ripped off the white stripe on his face, and was about to get up when someone grabbed him.
"Gu Xing! You're not trying to back out, are you? You haven't drunk it yet, drink it now!" The woman next to him tugged at his sleeve and shook it coquettishly.
The woman was dressed provocatively, possessing a stunning figure. Her upturned face was captivating, and every smile and gesture under the lights exuded an alluring charm. She had been invited by another pilot to join the fun. As soon as she sat down, she scanned the room and spotted the most eye-catching one.
Unfortunately, the most attention-grabbing person completely ignored everyone. However, their friend was very enthusiastic; perhaps it's just their nature, but with Gu Xing around, the atmosphere was never dull.
So she shifted her focus, but unfortunately, while this target seemed appealing, it proved difficult to actually make a move.
Gu Xing's bright smile vanished instantly, his gaze turning somber. He brushed the other person's hand away, saying, "Excuse me, I have a boyfriend."
The noisy room immediately quieted down. The captain who was leading the group felt embarrassed and coughed, "Oh dear, if you need to release the water, hurry up and do it."
The woman was extremely embarrassed and tried to save face, saying, "I... I was just afraid you'd renege on your promise, and that you're not interested in me! So what if you have a boyfriend? Why are you out having fun? Does your boyfriend even know?"
"What are you saying?!" The person next to her quickly pulled her arm, signaling her to stop talking.
But she couldn't calm down at all; she pulled her arm away and gave a cold laugh.
"Not interested in me? Then who was that who bumped into my leg under the table?" Gu Xing pointed at each person. "These people at the party are either men or their girlfriends. I've met them several times before. No one would do something so presumptuous."
Now, the captain who brought the people along couldn't save face.
"Also, of course my partner knows I'm out having fun. It's just for fun, understand? It has nothing to do with your little schemes. If my partner is free, they'll be here today too," Gu Xing said coldly.
This was the first time he had ever acted so arrogantly in public, especially in front of so many people. No one dared to speak, and they all hoped that Xiang Yun would come back soon to keep this man in check.
"you……"
"Alright! Stop fooling around!" The captain who brought the people finally couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed her wrist, and made her sit down.
The two were originally good friends. Because of their good relationship and because she wanted to get to know the captain, he brought her to this event. But things turned out like this, and now he won't even look at her anymore.
Out of shame and indignation, the woman stiffened her neck, picked up her bag, and slipped away without saying a word.
Seeing that the person had left, everyone else in the bureau breathed a sigh of relief. If she had continued to pester them, the situation would have become quite unpleasant.
Don't let Gu Xing's easygoing nature fool you; if you cross his line, he really won't hold back and will say anything. Besides, that woman was using his girlfriend to provoke him. His friends don't really know how Gu Xing and his girlfriend interact, but Gu Xing is always very proper when he goes out. If no one invites unfamiliar women over, and everyone at their gatherings is a familiar face, this kind of thing won't happen.
After the woman left, Gu Xing's expression improved somewhat.
"Alright, alright, Gu Xing, didn't you want to relieve yourself? Go ahead, what are you waiting for?" Someone broke the awkward atmosphere, and the air in the booth began to circulate. Everyone responded in agreement.
Gu Xing shook his head. He had originally wanted to follow his good friend to see what he was up to. But now, where could he find him? His gossipy thoughts were completely interrupted.
"Go check on her. She's been drinking; let's make sure nothing bad happens to her." Gu Xing picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
The captain who brought the man nodded, looked up and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't take her words to heart, just treat them like they're farting. Don't we know what kind of person you are?"
"That's right, your sister-in-law is very relieved."
"Next time, invite your sister-in-law too. It's been so long since I've seen her, I really miss her."
Gu Xing's expression suddenly fell, and he sat back down in his seat with a droopy look on his face. "I'm not going to relieve myself."
"Huh? What's wrong?" someone asked tentatively.
Gu Xing isn't such a fragile person. In what just happened, he clearly had the upper hand. He didn't let the other party gain any advantage in either his actions or words. So... what happened this time?
Gu Xing blinked rapidly a few times, swirling his cup in frustration. "Does your sister-in-law really not care about me?"
"..."
The expressions of the "audience" were quite interesting. Gu Xing's expression seemed to say, "Your sister-in-law doesn't love me anymore."
Sure enough, his next question came out: "Don't you love me anymore?"
"If you get something, you don't cherish it. Sigh, is that just human nature?"
"...Hehe." Everyone's laughter was stiff.
"Back in the day, I met your sister-in-law..."
"Stop! Bro, why don't you go take a dump?"
"Why hasn't Xiang Yun returned yet? Is he lost? Should we go look for him?"
Gu Xing had no worries about being assigned a topic of conversation, since everyone already knew the story anyway. Entrusted with this important task, he lazily got up, stretched, and said, "Okay, I'll go look for it."
Finding someone in a bar is actually quite difficult, but fortunately, Xiang Yun's physique is very distinctive, and Gu Xing knew he wasn't there at a glance.
There was no way there was a toilet; the person who used the excuse of going to the toilet never even went there.
Gu Xing, hands in his pockets, slowly looked for someone, smiling as he turned down several passersby. He thought to himself, "I really have to bring my girlfriend next time." But she didn't like this noisy environment; she complained that it was too loud and that high decibels could cause tinnitus, which was uncomfortable...
Aren't race cars noisy? Gu Xing concluded that his partner was a bit hypocritical, but that hypocrisy was also adorable, which made him like her immensely.
With these wild ideas in mind, Gu Xing finally spotted Xiang Yun. He couldn't find him anywhere, but it turned out he was at the bar.
Xiang Yun sat at the bar, the bartender was talking to him, and he nodded occasionally, but his gaze was fixed on the passing waiters.
He wanted to find that girl, the one whose contact information he had given to the waiter when he came to the bar to see Lily.
But the people coming and going were all different, and none of them were the person he was looking for.
The bartender, seeing that his mind wasn't on the drinks, asked him, "Are you looking for someone?"
"So obvious?" Xiang Yun looked away.
"Could it be that his girlfriend works as a waitress here?" the bartender gossiped. "Look at how well-dressed this guy is, could he have found a girlfriend and then had her work as a waitress at the bar?"
"No, it's someone I know. He used to work here, but he might not be here anymore." Xiang Yun took a sip of his drink.
"Ah, that's possible. When she's too busy, the boss will hire some part-time workers. If she's doing part-time work, then she's very flexible. If she's doing full-time work, the chances of her leaving are relatively small. Our boss is very generous, and the employee benefits are good." The bartender's smile didn't fade when she talked about the boss, so it seemed she was genuinely praising him.
Xiang Yun lowered his head and remained silent. He took a few sips of his drink, then stood up. As if remembering something, he turned to the bartender and asked, "By the way, last time I drank too much, she made me sleep here..."
"Huh? That can't be!"
