Gu Bai felt uncomfortable all over, so he adjusted his posture and cleared his throat.
She made a series of small movements, but seeing Xu Zezhan's indifferent expression, she became somewhat annoyed: "You did that kind of thing and then just left? Are you even a man?"
Xu Zezhan said without any emotion, "Otherwise what? I'll take responsibility. Are you willing?"
Gu Bai was speechless after being retorted, and said with a stern face, "Forget it, I was wrong last time too, I won't hold it against you. We've had such a long-standing friendship, do we really have to let such a small thing lead to us never speaking to each other again? Xu Zezhan, you're still my brother from now on..."
"Heh." Xu Zezhan chuckled, interrupting his incessant chatter. "You really can pretend nothing happened?"
Gu Bai's face turned from red to white to pale, "You..."
Xu Zezhan suddenly grabbed the back of his head with one hand and leaned his body towards him.
Gu Bai was so frightened that his scalp tingled. He pushed him away, hurriedly opened the car door, and fled the car in a disheveled state.
He glared at Xu Zezhan, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Xu Zezhan withdrew his hand, the sweat from his hair still clinging to his fingertips. He gently rubbed it, his tone as mild as ever: "See? You really can pretend nothing happened?"
Gu Baijun's face turned pale and then red. Xu Zezhan closed the car door, got out of the car, and said, "Let's get in."
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Gu Bai stood there, his fists clenched tightly, his back already covered in sweat.
I don't know if it's because of the heat or some other reason.
Only after Xu Zezhan's figure had disappeared at the entrance did he take a deep breath, casually wipe the sweat from his palms on his clothes, and follow after him.
——
In the bar.
This is a quiet bar, not a chaotic dance floor, and because it's daytime, there are hardly any people there.
The only bartender was slumped over the bar, looking half asleep.
As soon as Gu Bai and Xu Zezhan went inside, Yan Miao raised her hand and called out, "Xu Zezhan! He's over here!"
Xu Zezhan walked over first and greeted the group of people.
Yan Miao then pulled Gu Bai to sit down.
This position was right next to Xu Zezhan, the two were extremely close, and they could vaguely feel the warmth emanating from each other's bodies.
A hint of unease flashed across Gu Bai's eyes, and his whole body tensed up. Then a glass of wine was shoved into his hand, and he drank it down without thinking.
But he drank too much and choked instantly. He hurriedly covered his mouth and groaned a few times, coughing until his handsome face turned red and even his eyes were flushed.
Like clouds on the horizon dyed red by the sunset at dusk.
"Hurry up and wipe yourself. Why are you drinking so fast? Nobody's going to take it from you." Yan Miao pulled out two tissues and handed them to him, secretly winking at Xu Zezhan.
Unfortunately, his flirtatious glances were wasted on a blind man; Xu Zezhan seemed oblivious, ordered a drink, and began chatting with Liang Muchuan.
Yan Miao: "..."
Is this person blind?
Of course, she wasn't oblivious to the situation. She keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two was off. Recalling how the two had entered almost simultaneously, her eyes darted around, and she secretly made a plan.
She looked up and her eyes met those of Jiang Xun across from her.
Jiang Xun held a wine glass, pretending to drink, but her eyes kept drifting towards Xu Zezhan and Gu Bai through the rim of the glass.
And that's when his eyes met Yan Miao's.
Sometimes, people of the same kind can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Yan Miao said, "Jiang Xun, didn't you just say you could mix drinks? Come on, show me what you've got?"
Jiang Xun stood up: "Okay."
As she left, she specifically asked Yan Shaoqin, "Mr. Yan, what would you like to drink?"
She didn't deliberately ask anyone at the table, but specifically asked Yan Shaoqin. After receiving a "Negroni" from him, she ignored everyone else and went straight to the bar.
Yan Miao looked at this and then that, and followed after them with a look of surprise.
"No, sister, you've got your eye on my brother?" Yan Miao's pretty face was full of disbelief. "Are you blind? My brother is such a boring guy."
Jiang Xun had already shooed the bartender aside and started mixing drinks.
Hearing this, she glanced at Yan Shaoqin and said, "Boring? I like boring, honest people."
Yan Miao: "..." She was right that she thought her brother was boring, but her brother really wasn't an honest person.
She suspected that Jiang Xun had some misunderstanding about her brother.
However, she quite likes Jiang Xun, and it would be nice if she could really be with her brother.
It's better than his brother having a moment of madness and finding someone to marry for financial gain.
Arranged marriages are so pointless.
While mixing drinks, Jiang Xun glanced at Xu Zezhan's group, her expression remaining impassive. "Are those two a couple?"
Yan Miao chuckled a few times, a maternal smile on her face, as if she were a shipper. "What are you saying? They can have a socialist brotherhood."
Socialist brotherhood?
Good.
Jiang Xun said, "Are the young couple having a fight?"
Yan Miao doesn't hide anything anymore; when it comes to shipping couples, the more people ship them together, the more interesting it is.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Xun's expression instantly changed.
Hey, still good buddies?
So cute.
Jiang Xun quickly mixed the drinks, and without caring about the others' tastes, he made a Negroni for each person.
"Thank you." Xu Zezhan smiled at him very gently. Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow, and suddenly a wicked thought popped into his mind.
As she released her wine glass, her fingertips brushed against Xu Zezhan's hand, seemingly unintentionally. "Mr. Xu, do you have a girlfriend?"
As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent.
Yan Miao was also stunned for a moment on the other side, but when she saw Gu Bai's expression, she secretly gave Jiang Xun a thumbs up.
