Chapter 88 Dinner
The night was dim, the lights were bright, and the sound of melodious music came from the tall and majestic building. The beaded curtains fell gently, and the breeze blew through the curtains, hiding the shadows of the banquet hall behind them.
The spacious banquet hall was set with several long banquet tables. The dining tables were covered with snow-white tablecloths, and placed on them were exquisite tableware and floral decorations. The gorgeous flowers bloomed in the vases, and the fragrance permeated the entire banquet. The ceiling of the banquet hall was hung with exquisite crystal chandeliers, which looked dazzling and gorgeous under the candlelight.
Under the candlelight, the guests held up their wine glasses, wore false smiles on their faces, and moved back and forth in the crowd calmly, either exchanging feelings or asking for information.
"There are quite a lot of superpowers here tonight." Someone couldn't help but ask curiously, "I heard that the two strongest superpowers in the south are also here. I wonder if they will attend the banquet."
"Tsk, the strongest superpowers, they are used to flattering themselves." The person who spoke was a young man with a good appearance. People who are familiar with him should know that this young man is the lover of a certain superior. His tone was sarcastic and full of disdain.
A lady who was not on good terms with him came over, took a sip of the fine wine in the cup, and raised her tender red lips with a slight arc: "Who am I saying this is? The famous sour chicken, the whole body is full of sour and stinky smell, it's terrible."
The lady raised her eyebrows, her eyes were full of disgust, and she waved her white fingers around, as if there was really a bad smell in the air.
"Mu Sheng! Don't think I'm afraid of you!" The young man's face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Once you leave the base, life or death depends on your ability!"
The threatening words sounded like fart to Mu Sheng. She picked up the hem of her skirt and walked away leisurely. Before leaving, she raised her wine glass and stepped on the young man fiercely with her foot. She smiled and said, "There are always people better than you. I am looking forward to your future."
The young man stepped so hard that he almost cried out in pain. He endured the pain on his cheeks, which became even more distorted and terrifying because of anger. He stared at Mu Sheng's staggering back, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
"The man hasn't even arrived yet, and the bloodbath has already begun." Someone on the railing on the top floor saw the scene. The wine glass on the table was filled with milky white liquid, and the air was filled with a faint milky aroma. The boy's eyes fell on another wine glass filled with red liquid, and he was a little dissatisfied, "Why can't I drink?"
"Why should underage people drink alcohol?"
The handsome man sitting opposite him was wearing a black uniform, and the golden buttons shone in the reflection of the lights, like bright stars.
His voice was as pleasant as his superior appearance: "Little brat, wait until you come of age, and then consider letting you taste the aroma of wine."
After speaking, he raised the wine glass and drank the red wine in the glass. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes swept across a hint of provocation.
"You! You're really... cough cough cough." The boy seemed to be angry and started to cough violently. His pale pink lips turned pale in an instant.
"Jie Diyu!" The man stood up quickly and patted the boy's back with his palm, his eyebrows raised high, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming!" "
Don't you know the condition of your own body? Where is the coat I brought you?" The man became more and more angry. He looked around and didn't see the thick cotton jacket he had specially taken. His expression became even uglier. Without thinking, he immediately took off his uniform jacket and put it on Jie Diyu's shoulders.
Xie Diyu covered his chest, his breathing was not stable, his face was pale, but the corners of his eyes were slightly red. He let out a long sigh: "It's okay, I was just bitten by the saliva."
"Song Shinan, let go."
The banquet hall suddenly became noisy. Xie Diyu pushed Song Shinan's arm away and looked downstairs.
Behind him, Song Shinan was stunned in place. He lowered his head and looked at his slightly trembling hands with deep eyes.
The heavy door was opened by the waiter, and three people in simple clothes walked in.
Two of them had upright postures, extraordinary temperaments, and outstanding looks. Even the simplest clothes could not conceal their outstanding demeanor.
The woman standing between the two handsome young men was also wearing simple winter clothes. The black coat made her figure look even taller. The raised scar on her face not only did not damage her cold temperament, but added a bit of wild beauty.
Among the guests in the banquet hall, some people took a breath of cold air, covered their red faces, and said excitedly: "Wow! So handsome! So beautiful!"
"Sister, you are a little presumptuous." The companion lowered his head in embarrassment and walked away silently.
The banquet hall, which had been silent for a few seconds, suddenly became noisy and lively. Some people were curious about who these three people were, and some people looked them up and down, confused.
Most people were still outside the situation, but a few sharp-minded survivors noticed the identities of these three people.
Mu Sheng held up her light skirt with one hand, and refilled the glass with champagne. She said with her red lips: "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Gu Bingchen stopped, lowered his eyes, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
"Mr. Gu, you are so forgetful. I am Mu Sheng, your partner." Mu Sheng raised her glass and smiled.
"Sorry, I can't remember." Gu Bingchen had too many business partners in the past, and for a moment, he really couldn't remember who this woman was.
However, Mu Sheng didn't mind. It didn't matter if he forgot. It wouldn't take too much time to chat a few more to get to know each other again. He took a sip of champagne, the aroma of the wine filled his entire mouth. His beautiful eyes, as bright as autumn water, looked at the silent Jiang Yunqi and smiled sweetly: "This beautiful lady must be the famous Jiang Yunqi. I've heard how great you are. Let's get to know each other~"
Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes, and his inky black eyes looked at the hand that Mu Sheng stretched out. He gently touched her fingertips and shook her hand politely: "Hello, thank you for the compliment."
He always spoke very little and would not take the initiative to bring up a topic. Whoever chatted with him was like talking to a block of ice, and could only get a few cold responses.
Fortunately, Gu Bingchen, who is eloquent and good at communication, was there, so the atmosphere did not become cold and stagnant.
Several people were chatting casually, which attracted the people around them to whisper. Some even moved their feet secretly, pretending to taste desserts, but actually pricked up their ears to listen carefully to what these people said.
When they learned that these two young men were the famous superpowers in the south, they were more or less surprised.
So young, so handsome, and their superpowers were so powerful.
It was as if they were perfect, which really made people jealous.
"Xiao Huan!"
"Junior sister?"
Gu Huan was observing the guests in the banquet hall, and suddenly a few stunned doubts came from behind.
She looked back, her cold and reserved demeanor broken, a gentle smile on her face, her voice rising with a hint of joy at reunion: "Big Brother! Second Sister!"
"Long time no see!"
A man and a woman ran towards her, looking excited.
"Xiao Huan! I was so worried about you!" The petite woman pulled Gu Huan's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes, and it felt like tears were about to flow out in the next second.
Gu Huan hurriedly comforted her: "I'm fine! Second Senior Sister, don't cry, if you cry, Senior Brother will kill me!"
As everyone knows, Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. If it weren't for the doomsday, they would have entered the palace of marriage long ago.
Luo Meilin burst into laughter, squeezed Gu Huan's hand, and laughed and cursed: "You're a jerk."
Senior Brother didn't reveal his emotions like Luo Meilin, and his slightly tired look only revealed a hint of missing.
"Want a hug? It's okay to cry for a while." Gu Hua opened her arms. After spending several months with Gu Bingchen and the others, she also learned to joke.
"Xiao Hua is calling you! Why are you standing there?" Luo Meilin pushed the senior brother and complained, "Wen Shu, you are really a taciturn person."
Gu Hua simply hugged Wen Shu, and quickly let go, even joking: "Every time I hear the name of the senior brother, I feel like I'm back to the division of arts and science in high school."
Luo Meilin: "At that time, my aunt gave him this name, hoping that he would be good at both arts and sciences, but in the end, he was seriously biased. He could get full marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but failed in Chinese."
"He was so bad at Chinese in high school, and I was the one who tried to find a way to get him out."
Wen Shu opened his mouth but didn't say anything until the two girls had almost finished recounting the past. Then he asked, "I haven't asked you yet, where is the teacher?"
Gu Hua's smile froze, and sadness lingered between her eyebrows: "Teacher... he, he didn't make it..."
The rest of the words were self-evident, their teacher died in the end of the world.
The sudden bad news interrupted the joy and excitement of the reunion.
The three of them looked sad, their hands clasped together, feeling sad, and hating the zombie virus at the same time.
Sooner or later... they will develop a virus vaccine!
"What's wrong with them?"
As early as when the three people were hugging each other excitedly, Gu Bingchen and the others walked away a little to provide them with space to reminisce.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng suddenly asked: "Is that lady Gu Huan? Wasn't she fine just now?"
Gu Bingchen glanced at her and said: "If you want to know, you can ask directly."
"Actually, I'm not that curious." Mu Sheng laughed dryly, took a sip of champagne, and looked away.
Perhaps they both exuded a sense of alienation that kept people away from them. Except for Mu Sheng, no one approached the two of them until some people had to approach them for the sake of interests, and even mocked them with words.
"They look like pretty boys. I don't believe they are the strongest superpowers in the south." The man who spoke was strong and muscular, nearly two meters tall, with dark skin. He looked at Gu Bingchen and Jiang Yunqi with a complicated look, worried and excited.
Gu Bingchen started teasing him like a cat: "So? What do you want to do?"
The man was about to back off, but when he saw Gu Bingchen's indifference, a raging rage suddenly ignited in his heart, and he shouted, "There is a competition set up in the banquet hall, I want to challenge you in a duel!"
The last sentence was dropped to the ground with a bang, the elegant and peaceful pure music came to an abrupt end, and the entire banquet hall was silent.
"Okay, let's compete." Gu Bingchen's figure was sunken in the soft sofa. Facing all kinds of looks from everyone, he didn't care at all, and even drank a sip of red wine with interest, "Since it's a competition, there must be winners and losers."
"Why don't we play a little bigger?"
Gu Bingchen's smile didn't reach his eyes, and his voice was tinged with a bit of penetrating coldness: "If I lose, it's up to you."
"But if I win..."
He stretched out his tone, and under the man's hesitant gaze, he uttered a few words with his thin lips.
"Then give out the person who ordered you."
"How about it?"
