"He's just busy with his own little things." Gu Bai used the act of drinking to hide the awkwardness in his eyes, and stammered, "He said he went abroad, but I don't know the specifics."
"Going abroad? How could he suddenly go abroad without saying a word? You two are such good friends, and he didn't even tell you?" Liang Muchuan muttered.
Gu Bai gave a dry "hmm".
The wine I drank no longer tasted the same.
He and Xu Zezhan had argued before, but this time he just left without even sending him a message.
He said something too harsh last time and regretted it afterwards, but he couldn't bring himself to make peace, so the two of them remained deadlocked.
“Xu Zezhan isn’t the type to leave without saying goodbye. Could something have happened to him?” Gu Bai’s heart skipped a beat when Liang Muchuan said this.
Fu Wenzhou, who was drinking next to him, didn't even lift his eyelids. "Are you his mother? Why are you meddling in my business?"
Liang Muchuan: "..."
No, he can't even ask?
But he wasn't one to stay put. After being rebuffed, he forgot about it after a couple of drinks and extended a warm invitation: "I'm having a cruise ship banquet the day after tomorrow. You should all come and join the fun."
Gu Bai: "Hmm, we'll see."
"Don't say anything else, I'll definitely come when the time comes." Liang Muchuan turned to ask Fu Wenzhou, "Are you going or not? Bring your partner too. These young couples can't stay at home all day dealing with the mundane things, they need to go out more. Otherwise, they'll get tired of facing each other from morning till night."
Fu Wenzhou hadn't planned to go, but when he thought about the malicious thoughts Liang Muchuan had had towards his wife before, he couldn't be bothered to let Liang Muchuan get close to her.
But when Liang Muchuan said that, Fu Wenzhou realized that he and Song Qingyou had been spending all their time together from morning till night. He used to think that was happiness, but today, when he discovered that Song Qingyou was peeking at other men, he was suddenly filled with an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Okay, go."
His quick agreement surprised Liang Muchuan, who raised an eyebrow: "You're not wary of me this time?"
Fu Wenzhou smiled coldly: "You're not worthy."
Liang Muchuan: "?"
Grass!
He shouldn't have asked that question; why is this person still so sharp-tongued?
Fu Wenzhou turned to look at Gu Bai, "Think things through carefully. Don't think of yourself as the young master of the Gu family all day long and take other people's efforts for granted."
He really couldn't be bothered with Gu Bai and Xu Zezhan's petty squabbles, but after so many years of brotherhood, he didn't want to see them turn against each other because of their feelings.
Gu Bai silently drank his wine, and after a few glasses, he said angrily, "How did I enjoy it?"
Fu Wenzhou slightly lifted his eyelids: "When you skipped school in third grade and the old man found out, he took the whip for you. In junior high, you almost ruined a girl's relationship, and he knelt down and begged the old man for forgiveness, saying you were immature to do such a thing. In high school, you got lost while camping, and he found you and carried you through the forest all night. Later, you got into a fight with the bully from the neighboring school, and he took a beating for you. From childhood to adulthood, every time you got into trouble, he was the one who protected you. You can't accept other people's kindness and expect them not to cross the line. You either have to give up his kindness and talk things out with him."
Gu Bai clenched his fists so tightly that his gums turned white.
Fu Wenzhou paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Think carefully about whether you are reluctant to give up this kindness or this person."
...
When Song Qingyou opened her eyes, she immediately sensed something was wrong. When she realized that the man who always wanted to cling to her every limb when she woke up was unusually absent today, she received a call from Xu Qingran.
Xu Qingran's voice trembled uncontrollably on the other end of the phone: "Ruan, Ruan Mingchen told me to start a live broadcast now. He said that after everything is over, someone will find a way to take me out."
Song Qingyou sat up, her tone slightly hard: "Do as he says."
