Chapter 15: Pouring wine, Gu Xingjue is still dressed in black, his spirit...
Gu Xingjue was still dressed in black, with a silent expression. He glanced at Chen Song indifferently, his cold eyes as if he was looking at a stranger.
His facial features are deep and three-dimensional, the distance between his eyebrows and eyes is narrow, and coupled with his broken eyebrows, when he is not speaking, he has an unapproachable aura.
The private room was small, and the round table, which was over two meters in diameter, was filled with people. Although they were not far apart, Chen Song felt that the distance between them had suddenly become very far.
Gu Xingjue's movement of lowering his eyes was so small, but it deeply hurt Chen Song's eyes.
Chen Song blinked twice in panic, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the young man next to Gu Xingjue.
The young man was also looking at him, and for some reason Chen Song could sense a hint of contempt in his bright eyes.
"Ah, this isn't..." A voice rang out in the originally quiet box, abruptly breaking the silence.
The speaker was a man in a brown jacket. He pointed at Chen Song, looked surprised for a moment, and then looked at Gu Xingjue, as if he wanted to get a response from Gu Xingjue.
But Gu Xingjue pretended not to hear anything, gently shaking the red wine glass without saying a word.
Seeing this, the man awkwardly withdrew his hand that was pointing at Chen Song and said no more.
The gaze focused on Chen Song made his blood boil.
Embarrassment and uneasiness gave rise to a wave of conflicting emotions.
He was afraid that his relationship with Gu Xingjue would be discovered, but he was also sad about Gu Xingjue's indifference.
Chen Song's sensitive emotions were constantly amplified, and he heard a few faint laughs.
That was Xie Yanchen's voice: "Nice to meet you again, classmate Chen."
Xie Yanchen's tone was ambiguous, and everyone present sensed something else.
Chen Song stood stiffly in place, his eyes fixed on the ground, unable to focus. He didn't know how to answer or how to deal with the situation.
He was just a small assistant helping out in the kitchen. In the three years he had been working in the restaurant, he had never heard of a customer asking the kitchen staff to come up and explain the dishes.
If there is really a need to explain the dishes, it should be the waiter who does it. What's the point of asking him to do it?
It couldn't be that Xie Yanchen called him here, he had never met Xie Yanchen here before.
There was only one person who had called him here specifically to humiliate him, and that was Gu Xingjue, who had just caught him kissing someone else.
Gu Xingjue never asked about Chen Song's school or work. Chen Song also fantasized about Gu Xingjue sweetly coming to his workplace one day to pick him up after work.
Gu Xingjue came to his workplace, but he didn't expect it to be in such a heart-wrenching way.
Manager Dong hadn't been in this industry for so many years in vain. When he came to hand over the menu just now, the eldest son of the Gu family suddenly said:
"I heard that you have a guy named Chen Song here, a college student. Ask him to come and get me some wine."
Manager Dong was stunned for a moment after hearing this. If he remembered correctly, Gu Xingjue had never been to this restaurant, so how did he know the waiters here?
Based on the rumors about Gu Xingjue, Manager Dong estimated that this Chen Song had probably had an affair with him. He then rushed to find Ah Le, the head of the HR department, to ask where Chen Song was.
Upon investigation, it was found that Chen Song was a part-time assistant working in the kitchen.
Manager Dong originally thought that Chen Song would be the type of seductive little devil, but he was dumbfounded when they met.
Isn't this a pure and silly little white rabbit?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a fairy or a white rabbit, as long as it can get money from customers.
Manager Dong brought the little white rabbit over in a hurry. He originally wanted to give it to Gu Xingjue, but Xie Yanchen teased him first. Gu Xingjue seemed to ignore it.
Manager Dong was completely confused. Whose was it? Or was it just a play?
But he couldn't care less. Manager Dong looked at the somewhat nervous Chen Song, nudged him with his elbow, and smoothed things over for him: "Hey, Mr. Xie, you should have told me you knew each other earlier. Then let Xiao Song introduce the dishes to you. I'll go downstairs and get busy first."
Xie Yanchen tilted his head and smiled; "No need for introductions. Just pour some wine."
Manager Dong nodded quickly: "Okay, okay."
After saying that, Manager Dong picked up the most expensive bottle of wine, opened it, and handed it to Chen Song, whispering, "It's much easier just to pour the wine. Less talking and more action. Be quick. The commission from one bottle of wine tonight is enough for your weekly salary."
Chen Song's palms felt numb, and he felt the light around him was extremely dazzling. After a while, he slowly reached out to take the wine.
Manager Dong was a little dissatisfied with his hesitation and threw the wine directly into his hand: "Why are you pouring a glass of wine like it's going to kill you?"
The wine bottle hit the wound, and the wound, which had been completely painless, suddenly felt severe pain, and his face turned pale with pain.
Manager Dong was completely unaware that something was wrong with Chen Song. He turned around and said to everyone with a smile, "Then take your time eating. I'll be busy now. Come to me if you need anything."
Manager Dong left after he finished speaking.
As the door closed with a click, the box became quiet again.
Chen Song held the bottle of wine, facing the gazes of the whole room alone, stiff as a puppet that had accidentally entered the human world.
"Don't be so nervous," Xie Yanchen chuckled, picking up the knife and cutting the beef, "It's just a glass of wine. Let's fill it up for our Young Master Gu first."
A small piece of delicate beef was picked up by the knife and slowly placed next to Xie Yanchen's mouth. "The first cup is a punishment for being late tonight. He is sneaky and I don't know where he stole men."
Chen Song shook the wine in his hand slightly, and the feeling of suffocation as if being swallowed by the sea came back to him.
At the same time, several echoing voices rang out:
"Yeah, yeah, Cheng Song should be punished too! You two were late together, so you went to steal someone together, right?"
"Hahaha."
Chen Song shuddered and instinctively retorted, "I didn't."
As soon as Chen Song finished speaking, everyone's laughter stopped abruptly and suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"Ah, that, actually, it's me."
The boy sitting next to Gu Xingjue smiled and said, "My name is Cheng Song too. Cheng means a journey of mountains and rivers, and Song means singing praises."
"What about you?" Cheng Song looked at him and said.
Chen Song's blood immediately rushed back to his brain, burning his face red. He was stunned for a long time, feeling that too many things had happened today and he was having trouble thinking straight.
How could it be such a coincidence that Gu Xingjue and another Cheng Song kissed each other with names that sounded almost the same.
In front of this Chen Song.
Chen Song opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to find his trembling voice: "Erdong Chen, Song means singing praises."
"Wow, that's such a coincidence."
"When Master Gu said there was a Chen Song here just now, we didn't believe him. There really is someone named Chen Song. Do you all know him, Master Xie?"
Xie Yanchen smiled but said nothing.
Chen Song's head drooped lower and lower, feeling ashamed and embarrassed, like a fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
Cheng Song said nonchalantly, "There are many people with the same name in the world. What's so rare about it? What's wrong with having the same name? We are not the same person. Even twins are not exactly the same. Don't you agree, Chen Song?"
"Oh, I'm just a little late, please stop teasing me," Cheng Song said, looking a little unhappy. He pretended to be helpless and waved at Chen Song, "Come and pour me some wine to make amends, Chen Song."
Chen Song's inner peace collapsed a little, and the burning feeling of embarrassment when he first entered the room suddenly disappeared. At this moment, he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
But his stubborn and proud self-esteem finally calmed him down.
Chen Song came to Cheng Song and filled his glass with wine.
The strong and bright red wine was as dazzling as the confident and bright Cheng Song, and it made Chen Song's eyes so sore and painful.
"Pour some for Ah Jue too," Cheng Song smiled and looked at Gu Xingjue, "I can't be the only one drinking the penalty, you have to accompany me."
His voice was bright and sounded like he was acting coquettishly, so sweet that it made Chen Song feel like vomiting.
Chen Song kept his eyes down, unable to meet Gu Xingjue's gaze.
Gu Xingjue responded in a gentle, doting tone. Then his tone turned cold again: "Come here, pour some wine."
Chen Song moved his body stiffly and walked with difficulty to Gu Xingjue's side to pour wine for him.
Chen Song squeezed the bottle tightly between his fingertips, almost wanting to plunge all ten of his fingers into it. The stretched flesh tore open the wound, and a large amount of crimson escaped the Band-Aid. The surging blood rolled over the skin, which had turned pale from the excessive force.
But he didn't notice it at all, and just concentrated on pouring the wine, fearing that a slight mistake would cause the taut string to completely collapse.
Chen Song had never felt time so slow and torturous before. The time it took to pour a glass of wine was so unbearable. Just as he was about to finish, Chen Song's wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Chen Song was so frightened that he trembled and spilled his wine.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Gu Xingjue's voice was extremely low.
Chen Song kept shaking his head: "Your clothes are dirty. I'm... I'm sorry."
Chen Song wanted to use paper to wipe Gu Xingjue's pants, but his hands were held tightly by him and he couldn't break free.
At this moment, Cheng Song leaned over and hurriedly wiped Gu Xingjue's pants with a tissue: "Oh, how could you be so careless."
Before Cheng Song could even wipe Gu Xingjue's pants, Gu Xingjue suddenly stood up and dragged Chen Song out. The empty-handed figure paused for a moment, then turned around in a daze to look at Gu Xingjue's back as he pulled him out.
Everyone was watching in amazement. How come their Young Master Gu dragged the person out without them noticing?
Xie Yanchen said with a hint of regret: "What a pity, I thought you two could drink the wedding wine together."
Cheng Song smiled awkwardly. Why was this man's mouth still as venomous as ever? "Brother Yanchen, please stop making fun of me."
Chen Song was being pulled along by Gu Xingjue in the corridor.
"Can you please let go?" Chen Song tried to shake it off several times but couldn't. "It hurts."
Gu Xingjue didn't even turn his head: "You still feel the pain. I thought you didn't want this hand anymore."
Chen Song's eyes suddenly turned red, and his hoarse voice suppressed his emotions: "It has nothing to do with you."
Gu Xingjue blinked impatiently, stopped abruptly, and yanked Chen Song against the wall. "It has nothing to do with me? Then who does it have to do with?" He sneered, "Yun Jingsheng?"
Chen Song felt weak all over, and it felt like his bones were about to break after being hit like that. However, he didn't know where he got the courage from, and stared at Gu Xingjue with fierce eyes, as if he would shed tears if he didn't pay attention.
"Gu Xingjue," Chen Song called out to him, each word clearly emphasized. "Is it necessary? Humiliating me like this...does it make you feel accomplished? Isn't playing tricks on me for three years enough?"
Chen Song clenched his fists tightly. The words he spoke were like knives, first from his stomach, then to his throat, and then to his lips and tongue, leaving blood everywhere they touched.
For some reason, these words felt so heavy, as if they were filled with all the emotions of the past three years.
Grievance, anger, sadness, grief, anxiety, uneasiness...
All the complicated emotions were shattered into a ball of glass, cutting his flesh and bones apart.
Chen Song's lips were pale, and he looked clearly weak, yet his words were still so harsh. Gu Xingjue felt an inexplicable rage in his heart as he looked at him: "How did I humiliate you? What did I do wrong to you that you had to follow that fucking old fox!"
Chen Song didn't know where he got the strength from, and pushed him away: "You are the one kissing someone outside! Not me!"
"Yes!" Gu Xingjue pinched Chen Song's chin and said viciously, "That Cheng Song is much more obedient than you! He knows how to cheer me up with candy when I'm in a bad mood!"
"You know what kind of candy I like? QQ candy, purple grape T flavor. He knows!"
A very painful expression appeared on Chen Song's face, and tears couldn't stop falling.
He doesn't want to listen, he doesn't want to listen!
Chen Song was very panicked for a moment. He and Gu Xingjue were not from the same world. He didn't understand Gu Xingjue, didn't know how to coax Gu Xingjue, and didn't know how to keep Gu Xingjue.
Just like when he saw Gu Xingjue kissing someone else, his first reaction was not anger, but panic.
Gu Xingjue is the wind, he cannot hold it back.
"Have you said enough?" Chen Song lowered his eyes and said softly.
Chen Song's tears fell on Gu Xingjue's hand, burning and itching. He pinched Chen Song's chin with a little more force, as if he wanted to pinch into Chen Song's bones and blood: "You have to have this attitude, huh?"
Chen Song remained silent as the two of them confronted each other without giving in.
Soon Gu Xingjue let go of him and sneered, "You won't find anyone better than me."
"Chen Song, I'll wait for you to regret it for the rest of your life."
