"Excuse me." Tang Fei looked at Gu Weisheng apologetically and turned away.
Tang Zhe looked at Ye Rong and was not surprised that she appeared as Gu Weisheng's female companion.
"Most of them are here for you." Tang Zhe laughed softly, then thought about something and said, "But don't stay too long, your body still can't be too tired."
"Yeah." Gu Weisheng responded.
After a while, someone else came over and handed Gu Weisheng a business card.
There were many people at the party, and Ye Rong would pay attention to the people who talked to Gu Weisheng, and then write down their faces and names. After all, she was still a secretary.
Gradually, Ye Rong felt a little thirsty, so he turned around and got a glass of juice.
She was quite aware of her current alcohol tolerance. Champagne was low in alcohol content and she would feel dizzy if she drank too much. So she honestly chose the drink.
At first she thought it was wine, but after taking a sip she was pretty sure it was just a normal drink. It had a sweet strawberry flavor and a ball of ice cream floating on top, which was pretty and delicious.
Ye Rong drank in small sips, looking at Gu Weisheng not far away. The party was going to last for a long time, and he would definitely have to leave early.
However, she could not play any role in Gu Weisheng's social life. Everyone came here just for the name of Gu Weisheng.
After Ye Rong finished her drink, she went back to Gu Weisheng. Gu Weisheng was talking to someone, but when Ye Rong came over, he still paid attention to her and glanced at her.
Gu Weisheng quickly finished talking to the other person and looked at her: "Do you want to go eat something first?"
After he said this, Ye Rong also felt a little hungry.
She nodded: "What about you?"
Gu Weisheng looked at her and thought for a moment: "I'll eat some too."
So he accompanied Ye Rong to the dining table.
Gu Weisheng took it literally and ate a little symbolically after sitting down.
After filling his stomach for a while, Ye Rong went to the table and got a glass of strawberry juice.
Maybe it's because of the mint, which tastes cool and refreshing.
Gu Weisheng didn't pay attention to it. He looked at the cup in Ye Rong's hand and paused: "Cocktails have a strong aftereffect, don't drink too much."
Ye Rong was startled: "Cocktail?"
Gu Weisheng glanced at her and asked, "What do you think you are holding?"
"Strawberry juice." Ye Rong said sincerely: "It doesn't taste like alcohol."
"..." Gu Weisheng looked at her expression and had a bad feeling: "How much did you drink?"
Ye Rong held up a finger: "I had a drink before dinner."
Gu Weisheng: “…”
Seeing that the boss's expression was not right, Ye Rong hurriedly explained: "Actually, I feel fine now, and I'm not dizzy, so the alcohol content should not be high."
But as for cocktails, even if the alcohol content is not high, the aftereffect is strong.
Ye Rong swallowed the words.
At this moment, Ye Rong really didn't feel anything. She only smelled the sweet strawberry flavor and drank the remaining strawberry juice in the cup... No, she didn't dare to drink a single sip of the cocktail.
Gu Weisheng saw that she really didn't look drunk at this time, and he thought that she would feel uncomfortable after the aftereffects of the alcohol took effect.
"You sit here, I'll be there in a minute." Gu Weisheng stood up and buttoned up his suit jacket with one hand. This cocktail party was almost specially organized by the Tang family for him, so he had to at least say something before leaving.
"Yeah." Ye Rong watched him leave.
After a while, Ye Rong still felt that she was in good condition. Maybe it was just strawberry juice.
The indoor temperature was constant and the heating was sufficient, so she didn't feel cold even in the off-shoulder dress. She even felt a little hot at the moment.
When Gu Weisheng came over, he saw her drinking water. The skin on her face was already flushed, and even the corners of her eyes had faint red marks.
"Can you do it?" Gu Weisheng asked her.
Ye Rong nodded: "Yes."
Having said that, she stood up. This time, apart from feeling a little hot, she wasn't dizzy.
After following Gu Weisheng out of the hotel, Ye Rong put on Gu Weisheng's coat and quickly followed the bodyguard to drive the car over.
Only after getting in the car did Ye Rong feel his brain was a little dizzy.
Gu Weisheng sat down opposite her and saw that she rested her elbows on the table, holding her face to cool down. She sat in a lazy posture and looked a little lazy.
This is her most common appearance on weekdays.
When I was working as a "little secretary" in the company, I rarely saw her with this kind of demeanor, as if she was really here to work.
Gu Weisheng lowered his eyes. He was not in a hurry, but he knew his body better than anyone else. He did not like the words "well-meaning but powerless", so he could not delay any longer.
The car was driving at a constant speed. Ye Rong gradually felt a little hot. She stared at the neon lights outside the window in a daze.
Someone next to her called her.
"Ye velvet."
"Hmm?" Ye Rong turned her head and met Gu Weisheng's eyes. He seemed to want to say something. Ye Rong blinked: "What's wrong?"
Because of the alcohol, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were watery. Gu Weisheng had no intention of trying to trick her into talking because he didn't have much time.
Gu Weisheng said in a gentle tone: "Is there anything you want or want to do?"
This immediately reminded Ye Rong of the time when he was about to send her away... He seemed to be asking a similar question? Ye Rong confirmed: "After?"
Gu Weisheng: “Yeah.”
Regarding her expectations for the future, Ye Rong has already had new ideas. She smiled and said, "I want to take the civil service exam in the future!"
“…” is what she would do.
There was a barely visible smile in Gu Weisheng's eyes.
So he changed the question: "Aren't you going to school?"
"Yeah." After all, you have to complete your studies before you can take the civil service exam.
Gu Weisheng looked into her eyes: "What do you need me to do?"
"..." This question made Ye Rong slow to react. She blinked and looked at him with her eyes curved: "I need your help."
"..."Gu Weisheng's breathing stagnated slightly.
Seeing that his face was not right, Ye Rong leaned closer to him and said with a worried look on her face: "What's wrong with you? Is your body starting to hurt again?"
Not sure if it was because of the warm fragrance on her neck or the aroma of wine that attracted him, Gu Weisheng was distracted for a moment and lowered his voice to hide his abnormality: "No."
As he spoke, Gu Weisheng put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her closer to him, saying in a deep voice, "Sit down."
"Oh..." Ye Rong sat down obediently.
Because she was already drunk, her body's reactions were a little slow, so she just did whatever she was told.
"..." Gu Weisheng was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Don't drink anymore in the future."
"Hmm." Ye Rong held her face and looked at his cold eyebrows. As the alcohol took over, she dared to say what she had not dared to say before. So, she said bluntly: "Gu Weisheng, you have changed."
"..." Gu Wei raised his eyes and looked at her, his tone calm: "What has changed?"
As if he was trying to hide something for fear of leaking it, he did his best to ignore it and not look past it. He also managed to look calm and composed without showing any sign of worry.
He looked at the girl in front of him, who hadn't changed much since they first met. After experiencing all these truths, even after knowing what he was going to do, she still treated him with the same attitude as before.
The one who was never the same as before was himself, so Gu Weisheng looked away.
Although I don't know what she is going to do, I know from her previous words that she will not stay in Cangzhou forever.
When she leaves, everything will be better.
With these memories in mind, the pain wouldn't be unbearable for him during the rest of his time.
Gu Weisheng's mood gradually returned to peace.
Ye Rong: "It has become cold."
"..." Gu Weisheng's expression remained unchanged, "Hasn't it always been like this?"
Ye Rong affirmed: "No."
During the past few days that I worked as Gu Weisheng's secretary, Gu Weisheng seemed to have regained the obvious distance and coldness that he had when they first met.
Although she hoped to increase her sensitivity as soon as possible, she also knew that being impatient was useless, so she just obediently served as his secretary for the past few days.
Sometimes Ye Rong really couldn't understand what he was thinking. When she thought she had shortened the distance between them, they seemed to be further apart.
"what's on your mind?"
The girl was looking at him blankly again, her eyes dazed and confused, and a little sad.
Gu Weisheng was now accustomed to her looking at him intently, and could basically ignore it, but the sadness revealed in that moment made him unable to ignore it any longer.
He called her name: "Ye Rong."
Ye Rong looked at him and blurted out in a daze: "I'm thinking about how to get closer to you."
Gu Weisheng's eyes moved slightly, and he said gently: "Why do you want to get closer to me?"
Her body became sluggish due to the alcohol, and she was still a little sleepy at this moment. She felt like she was walking in space, and only her consciousness was still awake. Hearing this, Ye Rong blinked slowly and looked at him: "I am happy for you, and the world is happy too."
"..." Gu Weisheng's heart ached slightly, "䭼䭼?"
Ye Rong affirmed: "Yes."
After handing over the system to the country, she met General Li Zhen, Minister Liang, Sister Lin, and everyone in the Special Mission Department. In this world, she has a place to belong.
She also wants to continue living in this world.
Gu Weisheng is different from her. What exactly does he think after losing his goal? His thoughts are not important. It would be great if he could also like this world.
She rested her elbows on the table, supported her chin with one hand, looked into his eyes with a smile, and said softly: "Gu Weisheng, do you like this world?"
The neon lights outside shone through the car window onto her pretty face. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were full of sparkling spring water as she just stared at him.
She was drunk and unconscious.
Realizing this, Gu Weisheng's eyelashes drooped.
It was as if the unspeakable feelings suddenly had a legitimate outlet, where they would not be noticed, yet could be expressed without having to suppress themselves.
That exit was like the fruit that Satan used to tempt mankind to fall, so sweet that at least at this moment, he allowed himself to do so.
He looked up at her and said in an inaudible voice: "I like it."
Hearing his answer, Ye Rong blinked blankly, then smiled happily: "I like this world, too."
Suddenly, Ye Rong felt relieved and happy. She would continue to work hard and not underestimate the salted fish.
After feeling at ease, an irresistible sleepiness came over me.
Ye Rong could no longer hold on, and fell into a deep sleep with her head resting on her arms.
After her consciousness completely sank, the system sound rang.
