Hot search 1: Poof, Gou An is willing to degenerate, and calmly accepts the leftovers that the He family stuffed in as the object of engagement Hot search 2: Gou An scored twice, and humiliated Xu Ke with champagne again Hot search 3: Withdraw hot search 1 Hot search 4: Gou An, He Jinxing Let’s not talk about the previous ones for now, the photos of the fourth hot search can at least be described as overwhelming. In the picture, a little girl in a black dress is dancing with a tall and handsome man holding her waist, and she looks up at him with her fair face in his arms.
Even in the photo, one can see the nervousness in her sparkling almond-shaped eyes, the beautiful blood red on her ear tips and cheeks, and a strand of her soft long curly hair accidentally scratched the man's suit sleeve because of some movement...
The man who usually acted high and mighty and basically never appeared on the same news page with any opposite-age person of the right age seemed not to care about this. He pressed his big hands on the bow tied with the smoky pink belt at the back of her waist, and wrinkled the bow with his fingertips.
——They seemed to have an inexplicable atmosphere of lingering affection and inseparable.
"Is it my illusion? You don't seem to care much about the negative influence He Yuan will have on you."
"Maybe it's because I have a bad reputation, so I don't think anyone can drag me down."
"Well, the angle is novel."
An insincere tone of praise.
Then her waist was grabbed and her feet were lifted off the ground and placed at the next rhythm node. Gou An couldn't help but look up at the man who had his arms around her waist: it was completely easy for this man to lift her around, and he seemed to have amazing arm strength.
"Don't think like that next time."
After a few seconds, the man sounded like he couldn't help but want to teach the girl a lesson.
"This thought will make us uncles who are protecting you and think we are doing a good job very sad."
His tone was half true, half false, and the raised corners of his lips made him look lazy, and his voice also slowed down.
Gou An was stunned: "Protect me?"
"yes."
The topic has come to this point. If you don’t climb up the pole, you will have lived in vain.
"…What if I make a mistake?"
"Punishment, and then self-punishment for poor supervision."
The answer was given without much hesitation, and the tone was still extremely calm.
"Punishment? Why are you still talking about 'protection'? I thought you would protect me——"
"Covering you up? Maybe the first time, but I suspect that will only make you dare to do it again next time. Then the severity of your mistake next time may become so serious that neither your father nor I can handle it... That would be a bit troublesome."
Gou An was silent for a moment. The idea of her being so arrogant and saying "will dare to do it again next time" might have been an accidental success, but he did guess her personality right.
So Gou An chose to change the topic to a safer one.
"Let's get back to the topic. He Yuan is fine. You don't have to worry too much about us."
She was being sincere and wasn't lying.
I originally thought that He Jinxing would probably be satisfied with her answer, but I didn't expect that the relaxation on the man's lips disappeared a little.
After two seconds of silence, he said, "Have you been fooled? Do you really think that any action of the He family at this time is aimed at resolving the marriage contract?"
Gou An had danced two dances in a row and was a little out of breath. Her cheeks, which had been flushed red from nervousness at the beginning, were now flushed, making her black eyes particularly bright. She raised her head and looked at him: "Isn't it?"
As the dance ended, the man stood firmly and his hand left her waist politely and without any attachment.
"no."
An absolute denial.
A brief moment of pressure spread invisibly in all directions, and the reason was unknown.
In the center of such a high-pressure tornado, Gou An looked around reflexively, and found that there was no one within a two-meter radius of the small dance floor. The peers around him were terrified and stayed away from them or simply stood at the edge of the dance floor to watch the fun.
No wonder she felt the surroundings were so spacious when she was dancing just now.
At this moment, standing at the front of the crowd who were staring at them eagerly was Gou Yu.
"Your dad looks horrible."
The man's light voice came from the back of my head, and the momentary depression just now disappeared without a trace...
It was so fast that Gou An almost thought it was an illusion.
There seemed to be a hint of nonchalant ridicule in his voice.
"It looks like his daughter was taken away by a wolf."
After responding to this frivolous sentence, He Jinxing still politely returned Gou An to Gou Yu in person, "Stop staring at me, I'll give it back to you."
Gou Yu grabbed his daughter's hand and hid it behind his back, just like an eagle pecking down a hen protecting its chicks, and he didn't forget to scold her: "You are disrespectful to your elders."
"I just turned 28." He Jinxing reminded him kindly, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
Gou Yu had an "I don't care about you" expression on his face, "There are many ways to stop rumors."
He Jinxing was stunned, as if he was a little surprised that Gou Yu clearly understood his intention, but still came up to scold him...
How unfriendly.
The man chuckled, "But this is the most direct and effective way."
After tonight, no one will ever say that the daughter of the Gou family became a victim of the He family's disposal of scraps.
The engagement has not been finalized, so He Yuan is certainly a possibility, but now it seems that if it is He Jinxing instead, it doesn't seem to be absolutely impossible.
On this side, Gou Yu was pushing Gou An and urging her to go find "peers" to play with. He Jinxing, who was attacked inexplicably again, said nothing this time and let her go tolerantly.
Three minutes later, an attendant came to Gou An with a large plate of colorful freshly squeezed juice...
Amid the barrage of questions from people around her, she hurriedly chose another glass of apple juice, forgetting that her favorite juice in the beginning was actually orange juice.
When Gou An finally finished the press conference on "A Few Things About Me and He Jinxing That Are As Pure As Paper" and found He Yuan, he discovered that this kid was quite sociable. In a short period of time, he became familiar with Tang Xinjiu, Zhou Yutong and others. At this moment, they were gathered together and chatting happily.
When the Qianjin Group members saw Gou An coming back, their eyes lit up. However, before they could ask any questions, she took the lead and stretched out her hand to make a gesture to forbid them from asking questions: "Don't ask, I'm tired!"
Zhou Yutong certainly would not give up. Her white dress looked like rolling waves as she jumped. She pulled Gou An's arm and asked with a smile, "Are the chest muscles of Uncle Butt warm?"
Gou An's ears felt like they were burning, and he immediately covered her mouth with his hand.
"The moment Mr. He held your hand, no one dared to say anything bad about you anymore!" Zhou Yutong said, "He Yuan, don't you think I'm right?"
He Yuan was also a good-tempered person. He stood aside with a smile, listening to everyone teasing Gou An for his comeback. He didn't seem to think that his dance partner being taken away by an elder was something worth worrying about...
In contrast, his social circle is not in Jiangcheng, so his reputation here doesn’t really matter to him.
Besides, there is nothing shameful about being outshined by He Jinxing.
After all, no matter who he is compared with, he is obviously "the better one".
Look, at the same age, this little lamb of the He family with excessive sugar content is many times more advanced than some naive teenagers who care a lot about rumors and think they can save the world.
"Sister, come too." He Yuan gently pushed Gou An's arm and pushed her towards the center of the crowd.
"What are you doing?"
Not far from Gou An, several people were bending over and frantically writing small notes, then folding the notes and throwing them into a lottery box.
"There are still a few hours until the coming-of-age ceremony at midnight, so let's warm up for the next game!" Tang Xinjiu said, "We have to have some fun, right?"
The order of the coming-of-age ceremony banquet is that there will be an opening dance at the beginning of the banquet that night. After the opening dance, there will be free time until midnight, and then at midnight the elders will give a coming-of-age ceremony speech.
After crossing midnight, it symbolizes that a new group of heirs of aristocratic families will rise in Jiangcheng.
Over the years, everyone has tacitly accepted that after the opening dance, they would do some small entertainment to pass the time. To be honest, today's "peers" don't seem to like dancing so much, but the games they play are exciting and perverted.
Just as a group of people are working on the next game project——
Truth or Dare is out, and getting drunk is not a decent behavior on the first night on the ship, so this year they came up with a new trick: the borrowing game.
Basically, when it's game time, everyone takes out a piece of paper from a cardboard box. There will be various things written on the paper. Within the specified time, find someone and borrow the thing on the paper.
The items on the note included cufflinks, belts, sunglasses, a person wearing glasses, a person carrying LV, red high-heeled shoes (on the left), a designated brand of watch, and a host of other miscellaneous items.
The last three people who borrowed something, or failed to borrow the designated item, will be responsible for paying AA for all the drinks at the bar tomorrow night.
There are no restrictions in the game, the only rule is: for the sake of fun, all designated borrowed items cannot be borrowed from immediate relatives.
Gou An saw with his own eyes Zhou Yutong giggling and writing "The person who wants to sleep with him (her)" on a pink note, and then threw the note into the lottery box.
This kind of borrowing object game is the best way to express one's feelings or to generate ambiguous gossip.
Zhou Yutong pulled Gou An aside and whispered, "When you choose later, remember to throw the pink notes back when you see them! Because they were all written by me. Oh, what good things can I write?"
Gou An: “…”
Gou An: "Thank you for your honesty."
He Yuan randomly picked a note, wrote "Sister" on ten of them and threw them into the lottery box. He turned around and smiled at Gou An with curved eyebrows: "If I draw the one I wrote, it will be a great fate. Then sister, you have to follow me without any resistance, okay?"
Gou An found it hard to control herself from smiling. She raised her hand and rubbed his hair, the child's natural curls brushing through her fingers.
Gou Xun, who was watching the interaction between the two from across the table, crossed his arms and commented expressionlessly, "Shameless."
Gou An was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He Yuan blew away the wet writing on the note and said lazily, "I don't know how to cherish it, but I think it's a big mistake for others to cherish it... Sister, this world is really wonderful, don't you think?"
What if your Chinese is not that good?
Gou An covered his mouth and laughed. Not far away, Gou Xun moved and clenched his hands into fists, looking like he was about to get angry, but before he could move, he was stopped by Lu Wan.
Gou An: “…”
Lu Wan is still here.
It was a chaotic night. In the second half, when she was dancing with He Jinxing, the heroine was completely invisible. So Gou An remembered this person and saw her radar go off first. He reflexively thought: Oh, where is my bodyguard?
When he turned around, he found the bodyguard standing behind him, and the two of them looked at each other.
Ye Lang: “?”
Gou An rolled his eyes and smiled at the bodyguard.
Ye Lang: “…”
This familiar malicious smile made him regret that he should have walked away. In a situation like this where it was unlikely that someone would suddenly pull out a knife, there was actually no need to stand so close to her.
Ye Lang: "What happened again?"
His voice was a little hoarse. He stood near her like a silent door god that night and didn't say a word to anyone else.
Of course, there were some strange people who came up to talk to Mr. Bodyguard because of his face, but they didn't even get a response or a polite refusal from him. Facing various wealthy daughters worth hundreds of millions or even the rich men themselves, all his responses were a cold glare and then he turned and walked away.
Seeing Miss Gou's familiar expression, Ye Lang certainly couldn't give her the cold shoulder. He just thought silently: I just asked for a sun hat in the afternoon. Isn't this mischief a little more frequent today? Gou An asked Ye Lang: "Shouldn't you tell her to run away? The loser will have to treat you tomorrow. It's very expensive, isn't it?"
Gou An means: weird and sarcastic.
Ye Lang translated her meaning himself: drive Lu Wan away.
I don't know if it's right, but if I confirm it with her again, she might make things complicated and misinterpret his meaning.
Ye Lang nodded.
Gou An was stunned: "Why are you nodding——"
He walked straight past Gou An, who had a confused look on his face, and walked towards Lu Wan, and stood in front of her.
The man with a cold face had a strong aura. Lu Wan and Gou Xun, who were originally talking in a low voice, were both stunned and turned their heads at the same time. Lu Wan looked at him, a little surprised: "Alang?"
"Go back." Ye Lang said, "You have to pay if you lose the game."
Lu Wan let out an “ah”.
Gou An behind them: "..."
How could he be so obedient and go to persuade them to quit?
Why retreat? Everyone is in a panic. The heroine might run into a key figure by chance while watching the moon on the deck. How could such a good thing happen? Gou An had evil intentions and immediately winked at Tang Xinjiu who was not far away. Tang Xinjiu obeyed his order and grabbed Lu Wan's arm from behind: "You can't run away. Everyone who is here tonight must participate! If you give up, you will lose!"
Lu Wan's face turned pale, and she struggled in panic. Tang Xinjiu held her arm tightly: "Lu Wan, you are not such a spoiler, are you?"
Lu Wan: “…”
[Jiao Jiao: The vicious female supporting role and her lackeys bully the heroine. ]
【Jiaojiao: What a standard plot scene. 】
[Jiao Jiao: It would be a masterpiece if the hero descended from the sky and took the heroine away. ]
Gou An looked up and was pleased to find that the male protagonist was nowhere to be found. He had left long ago.
There were basically only energetic young people left at the scene.
Not far away, Tang Xinjiu had successfully detained the panic-stricken Lu Wan. Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that Lu Wan had failed to leave, Ye Lang returned to Gou An.
"Your friend wants to keep her."
After throwing down an explanation without much emotion, Mr. Bodyguard stood back behind Gou An.
Looking at the original heroine who was looking around with an uneasy face, Gou An's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason, and suddenly realized -
Gou An: Secretary Jiao!!!
[Jiao Jiao: You just realized it now? Why don't you just let her go away quietly and go back to her cabin to sleep!]
【Jiao Jiao: But theoretically there is no plot point here. 】
【Jiao Jiao: In the original novel, the hero and heroine were not familiar with each other at this time. 】
Gou An: Even though they were not familiar with each other, she dared to throw herself into the male protagonist's arms at midnight and let him take her away! [Jiao Jiao: This is how all bloody overlords act. The female protagonist is only brave when she throws herself into the male protagonist's arms and creates the first trace of adultery. The rest of the time she is just a pitiful and weak little white flower——
As for whether the subsequent character settings and logic are correct, that is a domineering president's story, no one will care. 】
Gou An: Oh.
That makes sense.
[Jiao Jiao: The main plot on the boat in the original novel should be that only you, the vicious female supporting character, drugged them and made them have sex——]
Gou An: Bullshit, I'm responsible for spending money to buy medicine, I'm responsible for breaking the law and going to jail, and then they're responsible for having fun and breeding adultery? Do you think I can't count? Bah! I can't give you medicine, but I can consider giving you rat poison!
【Jiao Jiao: ……】
[Jiao Jiao: But if the plot is changed, no one can guarantee that the heroine and the hero will not have a new plot outside the original plot - do you remember the first meeting between the hero and heroine? That happened after the plot was forcibly changed. ]
Gou An: “…”
【Jiao Jiao: Do you regret it? 】
Gou An: “…”
[Jiao Jiao: There's no point in regretting. The villain dies because he talks too much. ]
The borrowing game officially started at 9:30 pm.
At the command given by the host holding the lottery box, everyone rushed forward and scrambled to take the slips from the box.
Gou An was squeezed to the back by the crowd. With such competitiveness, in the words of the stupid system cat, it was fortunate that this was a domineering president story, at least he could get a female supporting role. If this was put in a doomsday story, he would probably become cannon fodder who would starve to death before the first episode.
By the time she got the chance to pull out a pink slip from the box, the host had already passed the hectic period. Seeing that she wanted to throw the slip back and change another one, he held the microphone and shouted, "Ms. Gou, you won't regret it!"
Everyone looked at him at once. Gou An's face turned red with embarrassment. He stepped back and hid in a corner. He opened the note and took a look: [The person who wants to sleep with him (her).]
………………Gam, Zhou Yutong!
Gou An closed the note and began to calculate the balance of his bank card and the huge amount of money his wallet was going to spend at the bar tomorrow.
At this time, the culprit came over, snatched the note from Gou An's hand, opened it and took a look, his eyes rolled around, and then, while no one was paying attention, he threw the white one in his hand to Gou An: "Exchange with you."
Gou An: “!”
There is such a good thing.
Zhou Yutong covered her mouth and smiled: "After tonight I will be an adult, I have to have fun!"
Gou An opened the white note in his hand, which read: The second button of a men's shirt worth more than 20,000 yuan.
Zhou Yutong: "This was written by Tang Xinjiu. It was originally about the second button of a man's shirt... It's stupid. If you ask any servant for this kind of thing, would they refuse to give it to you? What's the difficulty? So I asked her to add a prerequisite."
Gou An: "You really are a devil."
"He's a genius at playing ambiguous games. You know nothing."
As she spoke, she pushed Gou An towards the door.
"Go quickly! I've checked. Lu Wan and you got the same note. I'm sure Tang Xinjiu only wrote two of the same thing. You two are destined to be enemies!"
Gou An: “…”
No, it was the gears of fate that were turning and ruthlessly crushing my beautiful face.
Gou An subconsciously looked up at Lu Wan and found that Lu Wan and Gou Xun were standing together. It seemed that the original heroine looked for Gou Xun first. At this time, the young man smiled bitterly and shook his head, holding up the brand logo on his collar to show her——
Generally, a luxury ready-made shirt only costs a few thousand dollars. He doesn't have the money to customize one for his coming-of-age party recently, and before that, he has no use for that thing.
"Don't look at your brother. Is it possible for just anyone to wear a shirt worth more than 20,000 yuan? Only high-end ones are made in China, and there are only a few brands of high-end ones in the circle! Looking around, it seems that He Ran is the only one of his age who wears this tonight... As for the second button on his shirt, there is only one! So, the peak showdown begins! If you lose, I will blow your head off!"
“…”
Looking for He Ran? "I'd rather treat you tomorrow."
"I beg you, show some promise!"
Gou An was pushed and kicked out of the banquet hall.
Half an hour later.
Gou An was perfunctorily responding to her friends' urging and ignoring their constant texting of He Ran's coordinates. She was wandering around the cabin like a ghost.
[Shy Groundhog: Can you hurry up! Lu Wan is about to get there first! ]
Sent fifteen minutes ago.
In fact, Zhou Yutong's worries are unnecessary.
Because tonight, Lu Wan had no intention of asking He Ran for shirt buttons. Ever since he officially announced Gou An and broke off the engagement with Gou An because of Ye Weiyang's matter, they hadn't spoken to each other since then.
Whether they met at school or just now under the same eaves of the boat at the window, Young Master He looked at her as if she were a complete stranger and just glanced at her lightly.
Lu Wan didn't know what the note He Ran got was about, so she couldn't directly ask him to exchange the specified item on the note.
Lu Wan didn't know what to do, so she thought that if things didn't work out, she could just disappear tomorrow night - although it might seem like cheating, it was just a game after all, and she didn't volunteer to participate in it, and those second-generation rich kids wouldn't really get angry with her.
It’s decided.
Having made up his mind, Lu Wan felt much more relaxed and unknowingly came to the bottom cabin.
Not far away is the casino in the core area of the ship's side. Security personnel in suits and ties are guarding the door. They will confirm the ID card of everyone entering to ensure that they are adults.
The front was magnificent and from time to time, there was the sound of sieves shaking or slot machines operating... There was no telling how many people were spending huge sums of money in there. Lu Wan had never seen it before. Although she wanted to go in and take a look, she turned back in front of a world that did not belong to her at all.
She walked around and onto the deck, wanting to find a place to get some fresh air and kill time, but as soon as she stepped onto the deck, she heard a commotion ahead.
To be precise, there were two people arguing.
"Will you come with me?"
The voice that spoke was female, with a bit of coquettishness and willfulness. I don't know which family she was from, but she was used to ordering people around.
"impossible."
The male voice that answered was a little more mature, neither humble nor arrogant. Although the rejection was decisive, he didn't seem angry either. It seemed that the two of them were familiar with each other...
And they have equal status.
"Okay, I'll just invite someone."
“…”
"I'll go."
“…”
"I'm really going!"
This time the voice was higher, with a hint of tears in the female voice. After a long while, the male voice did not speak again. The female voice cursed, "Chen Jinli, you are a bastard!"
Who doesn't know Chen Jinli? He is the youngest senior figure in the Marine Biology Research Institute and a friend of He Jinxing. Although he is not in business, he is also an important figure in the port city of Jiangcheng.
Lu Wan once wanted to win over his graduate student.
Now that she was caught off guard by the gossip about such a person, she was still a little confused.
The sound of running feet came, and I could only see the corner of the person's white dress. It was probably the gossip heroine who turned around and ran over after failing to get something...
Lu Wan was startled. He really didn't want to expose such gossip and attract the dislike and trouble of some rich lady. He hurriedly tried to find a place to hide, but the surroundings seemed to be in full view -
Just as she was getting anxious, a hand reached out from the side, grabbed her elbow and dragged her into the shadow of a corner of the cabin.
Lu Wan was startled and was about to struggle, but the scent of cologne that seemed to exist in her memory entered her nose. She forcibly suppressed the urge to scream in her throat.
When I looked up, I saw the man's perfect jawline.
In the dark night, He Jinxing was not wearing a coat, only a suit and shirt, with his tie knot slightly untied, revealing a faintly visible Adam's apple.
As he breathed, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and Lu Wan's heartbeat also began to beat violently with this tiny movement.
The man's large hand loosened its grip as soon as it dragged her into the darkness.
At this moment, the two of them were hiding in an extremely narrow shadow. Due to physical limitations, they had to be very close to each other. Lu Wan was worried that his heartbeat was too loud and could be heard, so he was nervous. At this moment, the girl who had just cursed had already lowered her head and ran past him.
As he was about to get closer, a voice sounded above his head.
"Turn your head and don't look."
Lu Wan followed suit subconsciously. In fact, he was so nervous that he didn't even see who she was.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Lu Wan came back to his senses slowly this time.
"Mr. He?"
Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of waking someone up.
When his name was called, He Jinxing seemed to come back to his senses. He lowered his head and glanced at the girl who was so close to him. There was no ripple in his dark eyes, only the usual smile was on his lips again, "It's you."
His tone was light and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or not.
All that was left in my ears was the sound of waves hitting the hull and the rolling waves. The male protagonist who was scolded in the gossip also turned around with a gloomy face and walked back to the direction of the cabin casino...
As soon as his back disappeared, the deck returned to silence and no one made a sound for a while.
He Jinxing left the shadow immediately.
The aura that originally enveloped Lu Wan was instantly withdrawn.
Her heart was empty, and she involuntarily followed him for two steps, and the two of them returned to the open space on the deck.
"You little brats," He Jinxing asked, "are you playing some weird game?"
Lu Wan simply told the man the rules of the borrowing game.
The latter kept his head tilted to look at the rough sea, with his fingertips resting on the edge of the boat and moving rhythmically.
His eyes looked a little careless——
After Lu Wan finished explaining, he slowly said "ah" after a while to indicate that he understood, and then fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Lu Wan called him again.
He lowered his head and looked at the pretty girl in front of him. Her expression was as gentle as she remembered.
Lu Wan's heart skipped a beat and her throat was clogged with nervousness. Her eyes fell on the second button on the man's shirt.
After a pause, as if he had made a great decision, he said, "Mr. He, can you give me the second button on your shirt?"
After he finished speaking, it was as if everything in the world had lost its voice.
Only her heart was beating like a drum.
He Jinxing didn't seem surprised at the bold request made by the person in front of him.
After only a brief pause, the smile returned to his face.
"Feel sorry."
Although he was apologizing to a junior, his expression actually had nothing to do with guilt. Under the moonlight, all he could hear was the man's gentle voice.
“No.”
