Guests were coming and going at the entrance. In order to avoid attracting attention, since Gu Jinzhi was a celebrity in the circle, Lin Xu and Gu Jinzhi left the banquet through a side door.
At the same time, a low-profile Santana stopped at the entrance. It was someone from the Lin family.
If Lin Shen was not a living signboard, people would just think he was a poor guy from somewhere who came to eat and drink for free just by looking at his car. But when the fame is big enough, other additions will only become signs.
Several years ago, when Lin Shen first entered the sight of people in the circle, he did not attract much attention.
A kid from Jiangcheng, that is, the child of a nouveau riche family who had just come out to see the world. Until later, he helped the Lin family leap to become a top real estate developer, and no one dared not to look at him straight in the eye.
Lin Shen didn't know that he had missed an important scene just because he was delayed for a moment in a meeting.
After he asked his assistant to register the gift, he entered the banquet and chatted with the guests like a fish in water. It was
not until he saw Gu Qi that Lin Shen said to the people around him: "Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Originally, the Gu family and the Lin family had no business contacts and kept to themselves. However, recently, with the development of the Internet and the combination of industries, the two families have also reached a lot of cooperation. For example, several important real estate projects were sold through advertising in Gu's entertainment industry.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see." Lin Shen greeted with a smile.
This guy is no different from his brother. Gu Qi changed his cold expression and smiled businesslike: "It's been a long time since we last met."
He didn't expect Lin Shen to come. The Lin family and the Xu family don't have much friendship. Of course, the Xu family will definitely send an invitation, but it doesn't matter whether the Lin family comes or not.
"Why isn't the second young master Gu here today?" Lin Shen asked curiously.
Everyone knows that the second young master of the Gu family and the young Xu Zhou of the Xu family are birds of a feather, and they are both ignorant and incompetent. Logically, Gu Jinzhi should be there.
Lin Shen just occasionally listens to gossip to add some fun to his life, so he asked casually.
Talking about his younger brother, Gu Qi always has a funny expression. There's nothing wrong to say. It's not a secret that Gu Jinzhi is gay.
"He went out on a date with his boyfriend." Since Gu Qi had already tentatively agreed to their relationship, it could be made public. After all,
he was a top student at Q University, studious, and had nothing to show for it. If his brother insisted on hanging out with some unknown internet celebrity, Gu Qi would be too embarrassed to mention it no matter what.
"Oh...is it the one from last time?" Lin Shen's eyes unconsciously showed a bit of a look of watching a good show.
All this gossip about the Gu family came from Gu Jinzhi, and it was quite interesting to listen to.
Gu Qi heard what Lin Shen said, how come other outsiders knew about it, and he was the last one to find out?
"The one from last time?" Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Lin Shen understood in his heart that a playboy like this would definitely change his girlfriend every once in a while, so it was normal for his brother to not keep up with the pace.
"The one that Second Young Master Gu posted on his Moments, isn't it the same person?"
Gu Qi thought of his brother's Moments, which was completely blank, and gritted his teeth for a moment. Good guy, it's fine to hide it from him, but why didn't he block everyone else in the Moments, letting him, as a brother, make such an embarrassing mistake now...
Seeing that Gu Qi looked like he wanted to hear the details, Lin Shen kindly flipped through the Moments, and before deleting it, he handed it to Gu Qi to see.
The disgusting scene came into Gu Qi's eyes.
No wonder he wanted to block him. Now Gu Qi was a little regretful. Letting the two of them go, it could be done in a few hours.
But he took a closer look. Although the boy in the photo had no face, only an ambiguous neck. But Gu Qi knew who his brother's boyfriend was. So it was consistent with the connection, it was the same person.
He was not so angry then.
His younger brother could be uneducated, but he definitely could not have casual contacts. It was still okay to take advantage of one person.
"Yes, that's him." Gu Qi returned it to him politely and nodded.
It turned out to be the same person, and Gu Qi knew him, which made Lin Shen look sideways a little. After all, someone who could admit it from Gu Qi's mouth should not be a casual person, although he thought Gu Jinzhi looked quite casual.
"He is a student of Q University, and the two have known each other for a long time." For the sake of his younger brother's reputation, Gu Qi still added a sentence to show that his younger brother was not messing around.
"So that's how it is." Lin Shen nodded. He was also his younger brother's schoolmate, so he didn't have any prejudice.
It can only be said that this student may not have very good eyesight and didn't know that he was a playful person.
Talking about the topic of younger brother, Lin Shen suddenly mentioned his younger brother. He had never mentioned it before, but since he wanted to build momentum for his brother's return home, he didn't avoid it.
"My younger brother is also studying at Q University, and he's a freshman this year."
"Huh?" Gu Qi had never heard that Lin Shen had a younger brother, or maybe the Lin family was quite mysterious, and they weren't native to any aristocratic family, and they didn't have the concept of clans, so they only knew who was in the open.
"He was raised in his hometown when he was young." Lin Shen's eyes softened a little.
Gu Qi could understand it after hearing this, after all, Lin Shen had the same experience before, but to be able to get into Q University from his hometown, he was really capable.
"Mr. Lin seems to be from Jiangcheng?" Gu Qi remembered again.
After all, Lin Shen doesn't speak with this accent. Instead, he speaks in a reserved and gentle manner. Of course, it only refers to his accent, not his personality.
Gu Qi suddenly remembered it because his brother's boyfriend, whom he had just met, was also from Jiangcheng. Although the accent was not very obvious, it sounded a bit like that when they were put together.
"Yeah." Lin Shen nodded.
Gu Qi was impressed by the wonderful fate for a moment: "Jinzhi's boyfriend is from the same hometown as your brother. Maybe they know each other and can spend more time together in the future." Of course, it was also a polite remark in the business world, but it's always good to make friends with him.
Lin Shen curled his lips and smiled politely, but did not answer.
His brother was definitely not the same kind of person as Gu Jinzhi, not to mention having any connection with them as a gay couple. Lin Shen does not discriminate against homosexuals. Among young people, sexual orientation is free. However, he subconsciously feels that since his brother is heterosexual, there is no need for him to be led astray.
Gu Qi also knows that his brother is annoying, so he does not continue the conversation. Anyway, as long as his brother is happy, that's enough. Now think about it, it's good that the student has no background, so he can just talk about the target. If there are any problems, he, as an older brother, can help to smooth them out. He can't let his brother suffer the consequences.
As soon as Lin Xu left the banquet, he took off his coat and put it on his arms, leaving only a white shirt. After all, wearing a suit for no reason is quite eye-catching.
Since they remembered their promise to go back early, the two of them simply took a walk in the park, enjoying the evening breeze.
After feeding two small cakes, Gu Jinzhi burped. He was becoming less and less presentable in front of Ah Xu.
"My brother agreed, and you have finished your military training. Everything is just right." Gu Jinzhi said happily.
He used to think hard every day, preparing for a big battle. Who knew that all the problems would be solved easily, and he didn't need to worry at all, and he lost the opportunity to use his brain.
Lin Xu looked at Gu Jinzhi, whose emotions were all on his face, and couldn't help but smile. Zhizhi, who was raised under protection, is still like a child at the age of 24, and she can't pretend to be a domineering boss for too long.
But it's good like this, and it's best to have no worries forever.
He didn't know that every time Gu Jinzhi looked at him secretly, she was not without worries. The older Lin Xu got, the more worried he was.
Gu Jinzhi was actually quite self-aware. His appearance and family background were his only two advantages. If there was anything else, he was stubborn, but he didn't know if it was an advantage.
So he was often afraid that Lin Xu would one day discover his poor interests and dull soul. Just as many people laughed at him for being sharp-tongued and simple in the past, he suddenly felt that they were not wrong.
His daily hobby was to see Ah Xu, to kiss and hug her, to say some nonsensical but interesting things to her, and to be looked at gently.
But Ah Xu's ideals were very grand. He couldn't understand any of the books Ah Xu read. He was only eighteen years old, but he had such profound thoughts.
In front of him, Gu Jinzhi had to admit that he was an ordinary person without ideals, who just wanted to be surrounded by love and be satisfied and happy with small things every day.
He looked at him again and was discovered by Lin Xu, and then his hand was held.
Gu Jinzhi was happy again, it was that simple.
Suddenly, several little girls about seven or eight years old in front of him anxiously used badminton rackets to throw at a big tree not far away. The tree was lush and held the small badminton tightly. It was also very high and not easy to climb up.
Gu Jinzhi's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Xu, saying, "Let's go help them."
Lin Xu estimated the height and shook his head, "Wait for me to buy a new badminton racket."
Gu Jinzhi grabbed his hand, showing that his subconscious mind was coming out again: "Ah Xu, watch carefully!"
He walked to the little girls, took off his coat very handsomely and let Lin Xu hold it for him, and said to them, "Brother will help you get it down."
Then he put his hands on the tree trunk and slowly climbed up.
His arms were very strong and he had some skills in climbing trees. He was not clumsy at all, but looked very strong.
Lin Xu had to follow nervously, standing under the tree all the time, ready to follow Gu Jinzhi.
Soon, Gu Jinzhi climbed up a tree several meters high, knocked down the badminton, and then slowly came down.
"Zhizhi, be careful." Lin Xu was nervous and frowned.
Gu Jinzhi looked in his direction. She only had two feet left. She could have come down directly. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and turned around and deliberately jumped into Lin Xu's arms.
Fortunately, Lin Xu was well prepared and was not knocked to the ground, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.
He hugged Gu Jinzhi tightly in his arms, thinking that Gu Jinzhi slipped, and said seriously: "I should have stopped you earlier. This is very unsafe."
Gu Jinzhi hugged his neck, rubbed it, and then smiled: "I'm fine, I did it on purpose." Then he got off the ground with both feet.
Of course, the little girls couldn't understand the feelings between them. They only knew that Gu Jinzhi was amazing, as he could climb such a high tree.
"Thank you, brother!" they said.
"Little friend, be more careful next time." Gu Jinzhi patted one of the little girls on the shoulder and said to them, and then left with Lin Xu.
"Okay, Xu, don't worry about me. In fact, I'm very good at rock climbing. I've won the city championship before." Gu Jinzhi said proudly.
Lin Xu had never heard Gu Jinzhi say this before, and looked at him curiously.
"When I was a kid, I had ADHD. I didn't like studying, but I liked everything else. I still remember that in elementary school, I would wait at the badminton court during every physical education class, waiting for someone to hit the badminton into a tree, and then I would show off my skills and pick it up. I picked up all the bird eggs near my home..." Gu Jinzhi felt that he was a bad boy since he was a kid, and he didn't want to do serious work every day. Sure
enough, when he said this, Lin Xu rubbed his head helplessly, with a smile in his eyes.
Undoubtedly, this is a world he has never been exposed to. Moreover, it is obvious that Zhizhi is very good at this kind of thing now.
Gu Jinzhi also felt that these advantages of his were very funny. When he was a kid, he would gain the admiration of his classmates by doing this, but when he grew up, people would only think it was inappropriate.
Until he fell in love with Lin Xu, Gu Jinzhi had not done many things that adults should do. He would still laugh out loud at the cheesy videos on short videos every day and swear at his opponents when playing games. He
didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now Gu Jinzhi is only thinking about showing himself in front of Lin Xu, and then he realized belatedly that there are no serious advantages. Falling
in love with Lin Xu seems to be the first step that makes Gu Jinzhi anxious and has to move towards maturity, especially since he is so much older than the other party.
"Do you also think I'm a funny guy?" Gu Jinzhi asked him, just like his brother and everyone else thought.
Lin Xu certainly agreed with this statement. He has never met anyone more interesting than Zhizhi.
Gu Jinzhi was not too pleased: "Isn't that unattractive?" He sighed, thinking that Lin Xu would not be with him just because she wanted to hear jokes. Well, even if that was the case, he was reluctant to break up.
His boyfriend was too charming, and he wanted to hold on tightly.
"Why unattractive, obviously... very cute." Lin Xu pursed his lips and said the last three words very restrainedly.
Gu Jinzhi looked up at him in confusion, but saw the surging waves in Lin Xu's eyes, as if... very fascinated by him.
The arrogant Gu Jinzhi immediately couldn't help but smile. He glanced around, then quietly pulled Lin Xu's hand to put it on his waist, and leaned towards the shadow of the tree.
This time he was not so proactive, but just moved a little closer, locked Lin Xu with his eyes, and led him closer.
When chest pressed against chest, Gu Jinzhi felt like his heart was about to jump out. This warm pressure made his body softer and his breathing heavier.
The teardrop mole at the end of Gu Jinzhi's eye was more vivid against the misty eyes, innocent and charming.
There was one thing he still didn't realize clearly, at least his face was still very powerful, at least now Lin Xu almost forgot that Zhizhi in front of him was someone who could uproot a weeping willow, and his heart was aroused.
Feeling Gu Jinzhi's chin tilted forward, as if to indicate something. Lin Xu lowered his eyes, and after a moment he moved his lips to hers, pressing his fingers hard on her slender waist, his silent heart rippled a little.
Gu Jinzhi was a frank person to the point of being frightening. The entanglement in her mouth did not make him shy, but only made him feel very comfortable. Lin Xu's initiative made him even happier.
So he kept his eyes open the whole time, moving his tongue while staring at his boyfriend's closed eyes.
Every trembling of the other's long eyelashes made Gu Jinzhi more excited, and he wished that the root of his tongue would be sucked off. The fresh smell filled his entire brain cavity, making Gu Jinzhi dizzy.
He is indeed a superficial vulgar person. Kissing is much more fun than playing the game of bird eggs. The biggest dream of this vulgar person in his life is to kiss Ah Xu all the time. Being kissed until he can't breathe with his head tilted back is a soul-stirring joy.
