She doesn't like me.

He Jinxing probably wavered twice in his life. The first time was when he stood in front of the door of the lounge on the ship, hesitating whether to push the door open and walk in or turn around and leave.

The second time was yesterday when he was standing outside the crowd. He actually thought about turning around and leaving when the crowd surrounded Gou An and left. After all, even an engagement could not be a condition that restricted He Jinxing's behavior.

Unfortunately, Gou An nipped the bud in the bud during these two attempts.

The first time, she appeared in front of him without any warning even though he avoided her;

The second time, she stood at the door like a discarded animal, turning back and desperately looking for him.

He Jinxing began to believe that there might be a destined nemesis in this world, and this idea made him shudder.

"She is very sensitive."

The glass was gently placed on the table. There was almost no whiskey left in it. The solid hand-cut ice cubes hit the wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.

The man sat with his legs crossed on a large, soft leather sofa. A strand of soft black hair fell in front of his eyes, covering some of the luster in his eyes.

The alcohol had forcibly removed some of the emotional disguises he had during the day, and now his voice was so calm that it was almost straightforward.

"I just mentioned the words 'break up the engagement'. It wasn't a threat, nor was it an emphasis. It was just a tentative and weak one." He Jinxing stared at the sparkling ice in the wine glass and said, "She was immediately frightened and asked me if I wanted to break up the engagement."

The voice is cold.

So the people present didn't know that underneath the "fright" there were also surging tears...

And the embarrassment of the He family's rapid collapse of power and giving up the attempt.

Jiang Yi and Chen Jinli looked at each other in bewilderment. It was hard to ignore the bewilderment in He Jinxing's tone.

After all, for a long time in the past, Mr. He has been decisive and ruthless in the business world which is like a battlefield. People like them who are soft-hearted cannot accomplish great things, and he happens to be the one who does this best: He Jinxing is never soft-hearted.

oh.

Now, this sentence may be prefixed with "once", which symbolizes the "past tense".

Chen Jinli raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to cancel the engagement?"

He Jinxing frowned immediately.

Chen Jinli's eyebrows did not lower. "If you don't want to, why are you testing me?"

He Jinxing frowned even more tightly. He had never thought about canceling the engagement, not even if the sky fell.

Why is he testing me?

have no idea.

He just felt that the sudden appearance of Ye Lang and his presence made him feel like a thorn in his throat.

——Then a lot of unnecessary operations were done.

This was completely contrary to He Jinxing's usual principles in dealing with people, which was why he felt so irritated that he stayed up in the middle of the night and called his friends out to drink.

The man's silence made the people sitting around him even more silent. Chen Jinli mouthed to Jiang Yi: You come.

Jiang is used to being cheerful and playful, so this kind of occasion is indeed suitable for him.

I didn't have the heart to make that "poor you, you've fallen in love" joke, so I raised my hand and patted He Jinxing on the back, and said very subtly: "Don't be afraid, Gou An is just a little girl, she won't eat you, why are you thinking about all these things and making a lot of crazy moves, and why are you so nervous... Just let it be!"

He Jinxing waved his hand away: "I can't explain it to you, you're in a lot of trouble."

Jiang has retracted his hand: "Oh, I really can't explain it to the Pure Love Warrior."

Chen Jinli: "Why did you attack him?"

Jiang Yi: "Yeah, why are you attacking me?"

Chen Jinli: "I'm talking about you."

Jiang Yi: “Oh.”

The young master of the Jiang family turned to He Jinxing again.

"You haven't become a monk yet, and the guy you like isn't the guy next door—"

His voice was choked by the cold glance, and he paused for a moment, muttering "He's so possessive, like a pervert," before continuing, "Gou An is your fiancée. It's not illegal for you to care about her or be lenient with her, and it won't cost you your life. There's no need to treat her like a big enemy."

He Jinxing thought about it, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing and did not refute.

It's indeed abnormal.

Chen Jinli showed a frightened expression.

Jiang Yi continued to speak: "Look, this is simply a manifestation of God's love for you, Amen. The little girl likes you, and you are gradually liking her too—"

Chen Jinli and He Jinxing both turned around and stared at him.

Jiang Yi: “…”

Jiang Yi: "What? Did I just accidentally say the controllable formula for nuclear fusion?"

They all looked at him with such horrified expressions, how rude!

like?

The word itself is terrifying.

Obviously, it is more uncontrollable than nuclear fusion.

Humans will one day conquer nuclear fusion technology, but the history of conquering the verb "like" will be long.

He Jinxing withdrew his gaze and stared at the wine glass in front of him for a while. A brief mosaic appeared in his mind. Simply put, it was a mess.

Seeing his eyes staring blankly, Jiang Yi finally stopped indoctrinating him with those horrible thoughts. He couldn't help but ask him if he had drunk too much, after all, there were four bottles of foreign wine on the table, and he had bought most of them.

He Jinxing ignored him, but raised his head and suddenly looked at a woman in a black skirt who was standing near the bar not far away. The woman had long curly hair similar to Gou An, but she was very tall and had a hot body. She had turned her head to look at them many times.

At this moment, when the man raised his head, pursed his lips, and looked over there calmly, she didn't even need him to express much, her eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately smiled at him.

Turning around, she asked the bartender for a glass of tequila. The woman slid down from the high stool like a snake, swaying her waist as she moved closer to He Jinxing.

With a "tap", the wine glass fell, and the woman's slender fingertips pushed the ice glass with mist and dew to under He Jinxing's eyes, and smiled charmingly: "Mr. He, please."

He Jinxing didn't say anything, just glanced at her lightly and nodded reservedly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more and didn't bother to argue, nor did he ask stupid questions like "You asked me to come", the visitor knew that the tug-of-war between adults never needed to be decided in an instant. She left the wine and easily pulled away.

The booth returned to silence. Chen Jinli and Jiang Yi were dumbfounded, not knowing what Mr. He's sudden display of his peacock feathers was all about.

At this time, the latter sighed, raised his hand to brush the glass of wine into the trash can, and rubbed his frowning eyebrows: "Did you see it?"

Chen Jinli: “…What did you see?”

He Jinxing said expressionlessly: "Are you blind? There is something in her eyes."

Jiang Yi: "Hehe, want to get on your stuff?"

He Jinxing: “Yeah.”

Jiang Yi: “…”

He Jinxing: "Gou An doesn't have this thing. I can't see it in her eyes."

Jiang Yi: “…”

He Jinxing: "Do you understand?"

He Jinxing: "More stupid than a pig."

He Jinxing: "Gou An she doesn't like me."

Chen Jinli: “…”

On the fall of a pure love warrior (in the true physical sense).

It was already past one in the morning when Gou An received a call from He Jinxing.

At that time, she was in Zhou Yutong and Tang Xinjiu's small group chat, talking about He Jinxing mentioning the cancellation of the engagement today.

[Don’t be afraid, just stay put. I can win: Even though it was just a casual remark, it was definitely a test!! It was a test!!!]

[Don't be afraid of me winning: That bastard, don't think I can't tell what he's thinking. If he's jealous, then he's jealous. Why scare people? ]

[Don’t be afraid, I can win: If my tears had fallen a second later, I would be a twice-married girl now! ! ! Forget about He Ran, and break up with He Jinxing. The futon at Qingshan Nunnery is reserved for this VIP guest! ! ! ! ]

This was probably the first time in her life that she publicly used the word "slut" to describe He Jinxing. About three seconds after the message was sent, the caller ID on her phone scared her so much that she almost threw the phone under the bed as if it were a bomb.

She jumped up from the soft bed nimbly. Even though she knew the other person couldn't see her, she still reached out and scratched her hair. After hesitating for three seconds, she opened her phone, put it to her ear, and said in a very gentle voice, "Hello?"

The person on the other end of the phone was probably disturbed by her gentle and strange voice. There was silence for a few seconds before he called out, "Ms. Gou."

It wasn't He Jinxing's voice.

"Is it convenient for you to come to the bar to pick up your fiancé? He's drunk and is clamoring for you... Of course, it's okay if you don't want him. I'll just leave him here. Anyway, he'll wake up by himself tomorrow when the time comes."

The voice was already filled with an indecent smile; it was Jiang Yi.

"...You guys got him drunk and just left him alone?"

"Why should I care about a grown man? He won't suffer any loss." Jiang Yi's smile became more and more obvious, "Although I just sent away the fourth woman who came to ask Mr. He if he was drunk."

Bars are a place full of restless guys. Regardless of gender, these guys squat in the corner, aiming for someone who is out of reach in normal social situations. When she (he) is drunk and unconscious, they take her home and spend the night together...

There is a special term called "picking up corpses", which refers to these people.

Gou An was puzzled. Although he had no idea what Jiang Yi and the others were up to, he knew that these people wore the same crotchless pants as He Jinxing every day, so they definitely had no ill intentions.

They just wanted her to come over.

If it were a normal day, she would definitely find an excuse to get rid of him.

But this afternoon she happened to be infinitely dependent on He Jinxing. In Zhou Yutong's words, she was "clinging to him to the point of being a little crazy." So when she heard Jiang Yi say this, by the time she reacted, she had already jumped out of bed and was getting dressed.

It was dim at night, and Gou An didn't think about making a stunning appearance. She put on a loose thick sweater over her nightgown, grabbed her coat, and hurried out.

It takes a long corridor to get from the guest room to the bar. When I pushed open the door wrapped in cold air, the little girl wrapped up like a dumpling looked out of place with the socialites in suspender skirts and high heels in the bar.

She had no makeup on. Her waist-length curly hair was messy from the north wind. Her skin was frozen to the point of being almost white and transparent. Only the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose were glowing a beautiful red due to the low temperature outside.

She stood at the door and looked around for a moment, then moved towards a booth in her furry boots.

When the time came, Jiang Yi was still chatting and laughing with Chen Jinli. The person she was looking for was sitting quietly in the corner with his chin supported by one hand, his head tilted and his eyes closed.

"You're here?"

The Jiang family's young master narrowed his eyes and looked Gou An up and down. He saw the white hem of her sweater, revealing a white foot between her short boots...

As soon as he saw the other person getting out of bed, he felt a sense of responsibility.

Jiang Yi took out the room card from He Jinxing's pocket and gave it to Gou An, telling her to just throw him into the room.

"Why don't you let the waiter take him?"

"…Because he was drunk and didn't want to go with us, so we asked you to try." Jiang Yi smiled awkwardly, "Don't be so heartless!"

He Jinxing didn't know whether he heard this or not. From beginning to end, he just opened his eyes slightly at this moment, and after a few seconds, he closed them quietly again.

When He Jinxing is drunk, he is a very well behaved person. He doesn't talk to people or cause trouble, and it is even more impossible for him to go crazy when drunk.

This guy, who has self-control in his bones, sat alone in the corner and played autistically.

If it weren't for his slightly furrowed brows that betrayed his somewhat uncomfortable physiological reaction, no one would have known that he was drunk.

Gou An walked past Chen Jinli, who had a curious look on his face, approached He Jinxing, bent down and looked at him.

I'm a little unsure whether he will go with me -

What if the other party doesn't want it? Wouldn't she lose face? She was hesitating whether to call him when a waiter came and poked his head into the booth. The light was too dim, and Gou An had black hair and wore a black coat, so he didn't see clearly the person standing in front of He Jinxing, bending over to study.

The waiter just asked as if he was completing a task: "Miss Wang asked if Mr. He was feeling unwell and if he needed her help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jinli gestured to stop.

Jiang Yizheng smiled and said "No thanks". The waiter saw someone who had his back to him turn around. His brown eyes looked bright even in the shadows. "Who is Miss Wang?"

Suddenly a female voice spoke. The waiter was so scared that he almost peed himself. He stuttered for a while, and when he saw the face sticking out a little, he said expressionlessly, "Tell Miss Wang that Gou An said thank you for being so considerate to someone else's fiancé. It's enough that the intention is there."

After Gou An said this, the waiter, even though he didn't recognize her, knew who she was.

A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. The hundred yuan tip was not enough to pay for him to find a fortune teller to calm his nerves later, so he turned around and fled.

The booth fell silent again, but the atmosphere was even weirder than before.

Realizing that Jiang had not lied, and that there really were a bunch of inexplicable people who came to care about whether Mr. He had drunk too much or died, Gou An's uneasiness had mostly disappeared. He turned back to He Jinxing and stared at his profile for a while, not knowing whether he was asleep or not.

"He Jinxing."

She called him softly.

He didn't respond.

Or rather, ignore her.

He could clearly see the willful refusal to cooperate in those unchanged eyebrows and eyes. Gou An pursed his lips silently, turned his head and looked at Jiang Yi and Chen Jinli as if asking for help - but these two people were useless. They had an expression on their faces that said "This is really interesting, you guys keep going", and they just watched without saying a word.

Gou An turned his head and stared helplessly at the man's sleeping face that seemed as unshakable as thunder.

a long time.

He raised his hand and gently pulled the loose hair that fell on his forehead, amid the shocked gazes of the onlookers.

"He Jinxing."

Her voice was soft and slightly nasal.

"I'm wearing a lot of clothes and it's a bit hot. I don't want to stay here... Do you want to come with me?"

The words fell.

She waited for a few seconds, and the man in front of her still had his eyes closed. Just when she thought he was really asleep and was considering whether to reach out and pat him, the man opened his eyes.

Five minutes later.

The people in the bar looked sideways, surprised at the incongruous scene before their eyes.

A little girl wrapped tightly and without any makeup walked in front, wearing the only pair of furry snow boots among all the high-heeled shoes in the venue, and walked in front with an expressionless face.

Her arms were held back by the traction.

The little hand that had been frozen so white and tender by the cold now had a beautiful red color as it warmed up. Now, the five fingers were clasped together, tightly grasping the index finger of the right hand of the person behind him, leading him forward.

The identity of the person behind him is hard not to attract attention.

Anyone with eyes can see that this king of Jiangcheng is probably drunk today.

At this time, his other hand was stuffed in his trouser pocket, his long eyelashes drooped, his expression was dull, and it was difficult to tell how much emotion he had... He was just as docile as a tamed large wild beast, and he was willing to be led by her across the entire bar hall in a dignified manner.
