The evening banquet was for the 70th birthday of Mr. Qian. It was quite large in scale. All the prominent figures in City A were either present or had someone bring a generous gift.
The Xu family and the Jin family all have friendships with Mr. Qian, so naturally they had to go. The Jin family only sent Jin Yuanzhi, while the Xu family sent Xu Qingzhou with Xu Nuo.
Earlier, Xu Nuo had just entered the entertainment industry. Because of his bad temper, he was openly ridiculed and secretly criticized by others. Many people in the circle of City A were waiting behind his back to laugh at him. Xu Qingzhou brought him here this time with the intention of supporting his younger brother, and Jin Yuanzhi probably had the same intention.
…
As soon as the first episode of "Heart-Pounding" was over, Xu Nuo was picked up by the driver sent by Xu Qingzhou to do his styling. Jin Yuanzhi wanted to follow him shamelessly, but was closely guarded by the driver of the Xu family.
"Master Jin, Mr. Xu told you to stop pestering the young master."
Xu Nuo got into the car, heartlessly tore open the bag of snacks next to the seat, and waved out the window.
"Goodbye, Brother Yuanzhi—"
The car door was closed by Xu's bodyguards, blocking the two of them tightly. Jin Yuanzhi felt that he and his lover were very much like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way, except that the Weaver Girl was sitting well at the other end, eating and drinking, and left without any reluctance.
The team of stylists that Xu Qingzhou hired looked very professional. As soon as Xu Nuo arrived at the hotel, he was surrounded and asked to try on clothes and do his hair. By the time he slumped drowsily in the makeup chair and had his makeup done, the retro clock on the wall had already passed six o'clock.
The young man in a white suit has delicate eyebrows and sparkling eyes. With just a simple application of lip gloss and some modification of his facial features, he looks even more outstanding and eye-catching, like a piece of finely polished jade, shining brightly under the light.
"Young master, your face needs more makeup from me," the makeup artist sighed, holding the makeup brush with her index finger raised.
The young man in the mirror smiled brightly, revealing a row of small white teeth, and thousands of stars were crushed and sprinkled in his eyes.
As soon as Jin Yuanzhi arrived at the banquet venue, he saw the exquisite young man standing next to Xu Qingzhou. He felt that in an instant, the world had lost its color except for the young man in front of him.
"Jin Yuanzhi! Here!"
The young man who had just been standing obediently ran towards him excitedly, opened his arms and pounced on him, like a baby bird returning to its nest. He looked brighter and more lively, and the already restless eyes on the field came up to him even more unscrupulously.
Jin Yuanzhi opened his arms and hugged him. The familiar sweet fragrance filled his nose, and his spirit, which had been tense all afternoon, instantly relaxed.
Xu Nuo rubbed against his arms contentedly, then carefully withdrew from his embrace and glanced guiltily at his suit to see if there were any lipstick marks on it.
The two of them didn't stick together for long before Xu Qingzhou coughed loudly to signal, and Xu Nuo wisely took a step away from Jin Yuanzhi, but her eyes were still glued to him and she couldn't tear them away.
"Brother-in-law", Jin Yuanzhi is willing to follow good advice.
Xu Qingzhou's fingers gripping the goblet suddenly tightened, his fingertips turning slightly white. "Embezzlement?"
The actor has good self-cultivation. Actor Jin naturally played dumb and said, "What are you talking about?"
Xu Nuo watched his brother's face turn from blue to white, which was very exciting. He couldn't help but secretly tug at the man's sleeve, "Jin Yuanzhi..."
"Fu Qian is scheming? Will Nuonuo like him?" Xu Qingzhou laughed angrily, "I even had someone cancel two cooperation agreements with Fu Qian's law firm."
"It's my fault," Jin Yuanzhi admitted his mistake quickly, his attitude was sincere, "I will apologize to Fu Qian, and the Jin family will double compensate for any losses."
Xu Qingzhou waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to listen. "Alright, I'll... go find Fu Qian and explain it later."
The banquet was about to begin, and Xu Qingzhou took Xu Nuo and Jin Yuanzhi to celebrate the old man's birthday. This was a real announcement of the two being together, and it was not just a show.
Now, everyone in the venue had to reconsider their promise. Old Master Qian smiled, looked at the two people's shaking hands, and nodded.
After the birthday celebration, Xu Qingzhou disappeared. People came and went one after another wanting to talk to him. Jin Yuanzhi took Xu Nuo's hand and took a chance to go to the second floor of the banquet hall. There was a large balcony on the second floor facing the flower garden at the back.
The moonlight was bright, dispelling much of the summer night's heat. The two sat side by side on the wicker chairs on the balcony, holding hands and looking at the moon.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight—"
Jin Yuanzhi tilted his head to look at the profile of his lover beside him. Xu Nuo's beautiful face was covered with a veil, and even the tiny hairs on her face were clearly visible.
"Let's look at the moon together every day, okay?"
Xu Nuo's ears felt slightly hot, but she still turned her head to look at him, "Okay!"
Every day, every life, no matter which world it is, we must be together.
"Ding! Heartbeat value 100!"
…
Xu Qingzhou didn't remember how many glasses of champagne he had drunk. Perhaps it was because alcohol gave cowards courage, he became more and more confident as he drank. Finally, when he had prepared himself mentally, he walked towards Fu Qian in the corner.
"Fu Lu..."
Fu Qian raised his eyes. He had just noticed that Mr. Xu, the young talent praised by everyone, had been looking at him.
He was a meticulous thinker, eager to know what the other party was up to. It was nothing more than the two collaborations that had been cut short earlier. A hint of a smile flashed through his eyes behind his glasses.
Mr. Xu is quite thoughtful and seems quite twisted.
"Mr. Xu," Fu Qian reached out to take the wine glass he handed over and raised it slightly.
"Those previously cancelled collaborations... If you don't mind, Xu is willing to pay double to renew them."
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean? It's not nice to sneak people out to play." It was rare for him to say something so blunt and taunting. Xu Qingzhou's face, which was flushed from being slightly drunk, was briefly confused for a moment.
"No... no," Xu Qingzhou didn't notice that he had taken a step closer, "I misunderstood you before."
"What's the misunderstanding?"
"It's just... I thought you liked Nono."
Fu Qian smiled, and his glasses, which had slipped a little, were neatly pushed back to their previous position. "Sorry, Xu Nuo is not my type."
For some reason, Xu Qingzhou felt a little lost. From childhood to adulthood, people always said that he looked like his younger brother, and even that Xu Nuo looked more like his mother and was a little more delicate than him.
I don't like Xu Nuo's type, so I probably won't be too interested in him either...
The wine in his hand was finished in one gulp. Xu Qingzhou knew that he would lose his composure if he continued drinking, but he still swallowed the slightly spicy wine greedily.
My vision gradually became blurred, and in the haze I seemed to fall into a warm embrace.
…
"Jin Yuanzhi, where is my brother?"
Jin Yuanzhi held down his lover's restless head, "Brother-in-law has tacitly agreed that we can stay together tonight."
"?" Xu Nuo looked up, his eyes full of distrust.
"I'm not going to tease you anymore," the man said, ruffling his short hair, which felt so good to the touch. "How could your brother, a grown-up, get lost? He must have gone out for a social event... Isn't the driver waiting outside?"
"Right," the young man nodded, revealing a sly smile as if he was about to do something bad. "Then we'll stay together tonight!"
"Walk!"
