Chapter 29: Pouring Wine 2 The security guard warned him: "...
The security guard warned him, "Stop yelling! How can a girl hear you when you're yelling at the door? The school is so big and there are so many people around. If you have any friends who know her, please contact them. Don't yell at the door."
The boy before him was handsome and dashing, a playboy at first glance. He'd seen plenty of girls hooking up with rich men at school, few of them happy, and the security guard scoffed at such behavior. But he'd never seen a rich man come to school and brazenly yell at him.
Gu Xingjue acted as if he hadn't heard him and continued to shout, "Chen Song! If you don't come out, I'll stay here and call you all night!"
"Hey! Why won't you listen, kid?" the security guard pulled his hat tighter and approached, baton in hand. "If you keep yelling, I'll come and get you."
More and more people gathered around to watch the fun.
Chen Song had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Gu Xingjue with a gloomy face.
Gu Xingjue smiled smugly when he saw him turn around. The security guard pushed and shoved him, but he didn't move at all. It wasn't until Chen Song walked up to him and apologized to the security guard that the security guard let him go.
Chen Song put away the gloom on his face and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, security guard, I know this person. I'm sorry to trouble you."
The security guard pushed Gu Xingjue for a long time but he didn't move, like Yugong moving a mountain. He was so tired that he took a few deep breaths and stared at Chen Song for a while: "Your name is Chen Song?"
Chen Song nodded awkwardly: "Yes."
The security guard smiled and said, "I thought you were here to see your girlfriend. So, if you have something to say, talk it over." Then he said to Gu Xingjue, "Don't be so loud next time. It's unethical."
Gu Xingjue didn't care about anything else now. He pulled Chen Song up and walked away, walked through the crowd of onlookers, walked to the red supercar and opened the door for Chen Song.
Chen Song broke free from his hand, but didn't sit down. He glanced at Gu Xingjue for a moment before turning and walking towards another forest path. "Just tell me what you want to say."
Gu Xingjue held his breath, slammed the door shut, and caught up with Chen Song.
Chen Song walked forward on his own. Although he was not walking fast, Gu Xingjue felt that the distance between them suddenly became so far.
The path was lined with tall, sturdy trees, their leaves stripped by the snow, leaving them bare. Moonlight cast a few shadows from the branches, imprinting them on Chen Song.
There was a row of shared bicycles on the path in the woods, and Chen Song took out his hand and started scanning the code.
Gu Xingjue was as non-existent as air, which made him, who had always been valued and cared for by Chen Song, a little unhappy and irritated. He grabbed Chen Song's hand and pulled it in front of him, forcing him to shift his attention to himself.
"Why did you block me?"
Chen Song broke free and continued scanning the code: "Because we are done."
Chen Song's indifferent attitude made Gu Xingjue's heart twitch. He pinched Chen Song's chin to turn his attention back to himself again, and said word by word with emphasis: "Do you dare to look me in the eye and say it?"
Chen Song took a deep breath, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his dark gray eyes were clear under the baptism of moonlight: "I said we are over."
The wind was gentle tonight, ruffling Chen Song's hair gently. Under the bright moonlight, his skin looked sickly white. His features were remarkably three-dimensional due to his extreme thinness. Beneath his haggard face, his expression was cold and indifferent, yet remarkably resolute and serious.
Just like the wind, not strong, light but extremely cold, gradually digging into inch by inch of skin.
A very sour feeling surged in Gu Xing's heart, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Chen Song was serious. He was really angry this time, the kind that was very difficult to coax. Could it be that Gu Xingjue thought that as long as he didn't come to find Chen Song, Chen Song would really ignore him.
Chen Song turned his head to avoid his hand, and there was a "beep" sound: The code was scanned successfully, please wear a helmet while driving.
Chen Song stepped onto the bicycle, dusted off his helmet and put it on. He took out the bicycle, but Gu Xingjue kept blocking him and wouldn't let him go.
Gu Xingjue looked at him and said, "I'll take you wherever you want to go. It's cold in this car."
Chen Song said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way."
Gu Xing would never give in.
Chen Song was too angry to argue with him, so he returned to his original parking space and reversed in the opposite direction. He drove at full speed, hoping to get this lunatic away.
Gu Xingjue followed quickly for a few steps, but underestimated the speed of the two-wheeled vehicle. Soon Chen Song drove away.
Gu Xingjue let out a "Fuck" and ran back to his car, looking back every few steps to pay attention to Chen Song's movements.
Ever since Chen Song knew Gu Xingjue's true identity, he no longer hid it. The winter in Beijing was very cold, and Chen Song was so afraid of the cold that he drove a four-wheeled vehicle out to block the wind for him out of consideration for him.
As a result, the man kicked his legs and ran away on two wheels.
Gu Xingjue ran back to the car, stepped on the accelerator and chased after Chen Song.
He's still out so late, is he going to that old fox's place? He already knows where he lives?
Gu Xingjue was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Gu Xingjue made a wrong decision. If he had known this would happen, he should have driven a motorcycle over. The road was extremely congested. He could only watch Chen Song riding his donkey across the lane flexibly.
Gu Xingjue was so angry that he smashed the steering wheel.
Shared bicycles can only be parked a little further away from the restaurant. After parking the bike, Chen Song walked across a small zebra crossing before reaching the restaurant.
The once vibrant flowers outside the small Western-style restaurant had long since withered, leaving only the winter plum blossoms standing out in all their glory. Chen Song entered from the backyard, and before he even reached the steps, he could see a corner of the house in front of him.
Chen Song's heart tightened, he lowered his eyes and quickly passed in the other direction. After changing into his chef's uniform in the locker room, Chen Song went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was extremely busy today, with frying pans blazing and the temperature inside extremely high, like midsummer weather. The waiters came and went, no one paying any attention to Chen Song's arrival.
Chen Song walked back to his workstation and immediately started assisting Master Liu with his work.
Master Liu said nothing and never even glanced at Chen Song, but he cooperated very well with Chen Song and was able to produce a dish in a short while.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Manager Dong suddenly appeared in the kitchen and shouted amidst the clamor, "Where's Chen Song? Where's Chen Song?"
Chen Song was stunned, turned around and walked towards Manager Dong: "I'm here, Manager Dong, what can I do for you?"
Manager Dong glanced at him and gave him an ambiguous look: "The Gu family is here again, looking for you."
Chen Song's face, red from the fireworks, suddenly cooled down: "Manager Dong, I don't want to go."
Manager Dong seemed not to have heard what he said clearly: "What?"
Seeing Chen's dejected look, Manager Dong was quite angry and said, "Are you an employee here?"
Chen Song knew he couldn't escape, so he replied with a fearless attitude, "Yes."
Manager Dong saw that he had understood his situation and pushed him away: "Then obey orders quickly. Customers are God. You have to think about what customers tell you to think about. Whether you want to or not. I don't care about your relationship with the Gu family, just serve him well for me today. You can make more money yourself. Why bother with money? Isn't the reason you work here for money?"
"You're a recent college graduate, and there are many things you don't understand. Once you start working, you'll realize how difficult it is to survive in society. Take advantage of this opportunity to hone your skills."
The word "serve" stung Chen Song. He had to serve Gu Xingjue in bed, and now that they were separated, he had to serve him too. Was Gu Xingjue going to insult him wherever he went?
Chen Song wanted to refute, but he couldn't. Manager Dong was right. Since he had chosen to return to work here, he should demonstrate the corresponding professional ethics. Even if he quit, he should wait until all work was completed today before resigning.
Chen Song changed into a waiter's clothes and followed Manager Dong into the private room.
Chen Song was very reluctant before entering the private room, and only after taking several deep breaths did he calm down. He didn't want to see Gu Xingjue again, and he didn't want to be under the scrutiny of those superiors.
But when Chen Song walked into the box, there were only two people.
This time the box was not big, it was a square table for four, with Gu Xingjue and Cheng Song sitting side by side at the table.
Gu Xingjue stared at him intently, while Cheng Song, who was standing next to him, looked a little surprised when he saw him.
Chen Song gritted his teeth, put his hands behind his back, and intertwined his ten fingers. He glanced at the two of them calmly and then lowered his eyes, his indifferent expression showing no signs of emotion.
Manager Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, I've brought the person to you. I won't bother you any more. I'm going to get busy first."
Manager Dong pushed Chen Song forward, whispered a few words to him, then closed the door and left.
The box was very quiet for a while.
Cheng Song spoke first: "I remember your name is... Chen Song, right? The same name as mine."
Chen Song nodded: "Yes."
Cheng Song picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the wine glass, then said with a smile, "Bring me a glass of wine."
Chen Song's expression was indifferent. He placed the wines on the cart one by one on the table and said in a cold tone, "Mr. Cheng usually likes to drink wine, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, fresh, what's the temperature, and how high is the alcohol content?"
Cheng Song looked at him with great interest, and said meaningfully, holding his chin, "Ajue likes sweet drinks. A person's drinking habits can reveal their preferences."
Chen Song paused, picked up a bottle of wine, and introduced it, "This is Amarone Toscana 2017, produced by the Soldera winery. It has a 14% alcohol content. It has a smooth, creamy, sweet fruit flavor with a hint of tobacco. You might want to try it."
Chen Song looked composed, completely different from the awkward and reserved look Cheng Song had shown when they first met.
His innate elegance makes him even more charming when he talks.
Gu Xingjue's eyes had never left him, and the look he gave him this time was even more intense, but the anger he had just felt from being dumped by Chen Song was still there. He said in a deep voice, "Come here and pour it for me."
Chen Song opened the bottle with a wine opener, then walked to Gu Xingjue and poured wine for him.
Chen Song's slender hands looked even whiter against the dark wine bottle, though the scars at his knuckles still remained from the first time he poured wine for him. The last time I looked at it was in the dim light of the night, so I wasn't that careful.
Now seeing this, Gu Xingjue felt as if his heart was slightly tickled by something.
Gu Xingjue said, "No need to pour it, sit down and eat. I know you haven't eaten."
After Chen Song filled his glass with wine, he walked over to Cheng Song and poured him another. After serving the two of them, Chen Song placed the bottle on the table and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Gu. If you don't need me to pour more wine, I'll go and get busy. I wish you a pleasant meal."
After Chen Song finished speaking, he bowed to them and turned to leave.
Gu Xingjue laughed angrily: "Come back to me."
Chen Song acted as if he didn't hear anything, turned the doorknob, pushed the door open and left.
Gu Xingjue: “…”
Cheng Song was stunned for a moment, then picked up a piece of meat and placed it on Gu Xingjue's plate: "Ajue, let me give it to you..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Xingjue stood up and chased after him.
