The pink sparkling water with a sizzling sound was poured into the glass filled with ice balls. In an instant, it was like an iceberg melted by fire, with fresh and dreamy mist floating up.
The iceberg was melted in the fire and in Gu Jinzhi's lips to welcome the end of summer.
That night, all the forces in the circle knew the youngest son of the Lin family, and the signals of acquaintance were endless from all directions.
Gu Jinzhi sat upright in a corner of the dining table with a suitable smile on his face. Occasionally, he took a sip of the refreshing sparkling water, and his eyes became softer.
His brother is really awesome! Gu Jinzhi thought so in his mind and quietly stretched his feet.
Gu Qi, who was sitting next to him, was talking about his younger brother in a serious manner: "Jinzhi has grown up a lot recently. He knows how to socialize quietly. He goes to the company early and comes back late every day. As his brother, I almost don't recognize him anymore."
After he said this, Gu Jinzhi felt no guilt at all and smiled more appropriately.
Lin Xu, who was sitting opposite him, felt embarrassed for others again and pursed his lips instead.
Gu Qi is a complete action man. He promised to build bridges for his younger brother, and within two days after the banquet, he found ways to get involved in a new business with the Lin family. He also persuaded Lin Shen to take his younger brother out to see the world. After all, he had been in Jiangcheng before and might not be familiar with the pace here.
When Lin Shen was persuaded, he didn't expect to see Gu Jinzhi here.
Regarding Gu's words praising his brother, Lin Shen looked at him suspiciously, half believing and half doubting, and laughed it off tactfully.
Lin Xu felt that Gu Jinzhi's legs were not at peace under the foot of the opposite table, and they were entangled with his legs, and he couldn't get away. He didn't dare to make any big moves, so he could only bear it helplessly, occasionally glancing at his brother.
But Lin Shen didn't expect that such a thing would happen under his nose, and he didn't feel it at all.
Gu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows proudly.
"They might find it boring to listen to us talking about things. It just so happens that my Jinzhi has a lot of friends, so why not take Xiaoxu out to meet some people and integrate into the circle of young people."
"Jinzhi, this is your first time meeting Xiaoxu, he's a little younger than you." Gu pretended to introduce him to his brother, not mentioning the six-year age difference, otherwise it would seem too guilty.
"Hello, Xiaoxu, just call me Second Brother Gu." Gu Jinzhi tried his best not to laugh, but he didn't forget to take advantage of him and secretly exchanged glances with Lin Xu.
Lin Xu stroked his forehead and secretly patted Gu Jinzhi's leg, signaling him to stop making trouble.
"Brother Jinzhi." He still called him gentlemanly as he wished.
Gu Jinzhi felt so happy and sweet when he heard that.
Lin Shen didn't notice anything wrong between them and he didn't expect that they knew each other.
He curled his lips with a fake smile. It was not wrong for Gu Jinzhi to know many people, but they were probably not suitable to be introduced to his brother. He should just do it himself.
But after all, you don't hit a smiling person. It was rare that Gu Qi was so enthusiastic. Lin Shen just said tactfully: "My brother doesn't like noisy places."
"It won't be noisy. Jinzhi and his friends will go to art exhibitions and lectures recently. They are well-informed about this. Xiaoxu will definitely be interested." Gu Qi continued to lie.
After saying that, Lin Shen couldn't come forward, so he could only look at his brother sideways, touch his shoulder, look him straight in the face and say, "Xiao Xu, what do you think?"
He blinked, making Lin Xu's refusal very obvious.
But I don't know if his brother didn't understand or what, he actually accepted it calmly: "Then I'll trouble Brother Jinzhi, I'm really not familiar with this place."
"?" Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, and his brows slowly locked. But since the person concerned had agreed, he obviously couldn't say anything more.
"Then you go, you can also add WeChat and communicate more in the future." Gu Qi said decisively.
"Go home early and don't stay outside at night." Lin Shen still added a sentence, thinking that he shouldn't do anything outrageous during the day, and since he had promised so much in front of him, Gu Jinzhi didn't dare to do anything rash.
"Let's go, Xiaoxu." Gu Jinzhi hooked his fingers around the car key and shook it, then stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.
Seeing the frivolous aura in Gu Jinzhi's movements, Lin Shen felt that something was wrong, but he could only comfort himself that he couldn't do anything in a few hours, and he couldn't hide his brother from others.
"Then let's talk business." Gu interrupted Lin Shen's thoughts.
Gu Jinzhi had already gotten into his cool sports car. Today, the weather was good, so he drove a convertible, which made him look even more sexy.
He made a phone call to summon his friends, mainly Xu Zhou: "Come out, go to the club." Xu Zhou has always been good at finding fun people to hang out with, and the atmosphere is always high and interesting.
Now that he has his brother's protection, Gu Jinzhi smoothed his hair back and felt so happy. He didn't have to hide anything. Besides, they were all family, so he didn't have to worry about leaking the news to the Lin family.
"Zhizhi, where are we going? What kind of cultural club?" Lin Xu asked curiously, after all, that's what Gu Qi had just said.
Seeing her boyfriend's innocent look, Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but step forward and spit on him.
"Brother will take you out to see the world~" What he said in front of Lin Shen must be bullshit. Gu Jinzhi was still very rebellious. He had pretended enough today!
But Gu Jinzhi would not really bring her boyfriend around, after all, he liked Lin Xu more than anyone else. It was simply because he felt that his target had been too nervous these days and that he had to go to school again after the holiday, so he took him out to relax and introduce him to his friends.
Lin Xu found his arrogant look funny and many possibilities flashed through his mind, some of which were exaggerated. After all, he had heard many other people play before.
Until Gu Jinzhi took him into a luxurious and very private chess and card room, which was part of the club and was already a very simple leisure game among friends.
Gu Jinzhi just watched the playfulness and did not touch any of the truly extraordinary ones.
Only the second-generation rich who have really reached a certain level have the opportunity to become a member of this club. Since it is run by a second-generation rich man, of course he will not bring others to play. The black gold members of the club only exist in legends. Other ordinary people at most know the fact that there is such a club in a prosperous area.
Gu Jinzhi is one of the few black gold members. It's not for any other reason, he is very face-conscious. Although he doesn't come here very often, the atmosphere must be sufficient.
When the two of them came, there were several people scattered on the sofas all over the chess and card room. They were all young boys and girls. Some were dressed normally, and some had colorful hair.
When they saw Gu Jinzhi, they all shouted in unison: "Second Brother Gu."
Xu Zhou was much bolder, after all, they were close friends: "You, Old Six, finally decided to bring your date out to see!" Apart from anything else, since Gu Jinzhi started dating, she seemed to have turned over a new leaf, and every day she was either at work or with her boyfriend, a good housewife.
Gu Jinzhi nodded calmly, and naturally pulled Lin Xu to sit down at a table: "I'm afraid you'll be jealous."
Xu Zhou's words had already established Lin Xu's nature, and he was not someone who talked for fun. In fact, everyone present knew that Gu Jinzhi was a person who valued relationships, so he was unwilling to make do and had always been alone.
"Hello, Brother Lin." They shouted in unison again. Xu Zhou had already greeted him before, and even though Lin Xu was younger than them, no one would be arrogant in front of him.
Lin Xu's social phobia was about to come back because of the shouting, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Lin Xu knew that Zhizhi was going to bring him here to see the other party's status in the underworld. It was Zhizhi's style.
Soon, a waiter named Xiaozhe, who had a good image and temperament, came to accompany him. Of course, he couldn't touch Lin Xu at all. Gu Jinzhi hugged him tightly, making Lin Xu feel like he was the boss's man...
"You come to play today, I'll watch you, and I'll redeem the bets on melon seeds." Gu Jinzhi leaned his head on Lin Xu's shoulder and said softly, anyway, it's to relieve pressure, winning or losing doesn't matter.
The people at the same table looked at him sideways. In their impression, the second brother Gu's violent temper was that of a male tiger. Why is he so different in front of his partner now? And the partner looked too young. Falling in love is really scary.
"I can't do it, so you should do it and I'll watch." Lin Xu straightened his body and said.
"Brother Lin, the rules are very simple." A boy named Douzi on the left side quickly and enthusiastically explained the rules. Looking at Gu Erge's boyfriend, he seemed quite innocent. It was probably his first time playing cards.
"Speak carefully." Gu Jinzhi looked up so that Ah Xu wouldn't understand. The main reason was that he himself couldn't explain it clearly. He usually just played casually and relied on luck.
"It doesn't matter. I already understand." Lin Xu smiled quickly.
"Gu Erge, how did you two know each other?" Another girl named Jingjing asked. She also looked at Wenwen Jingjing and was actually quite individual.
"Online love~" Xu Zhou answered for the two of them quickly.
"But this kid is lucky. Do you know who he is?" They all played together and were very familiar with each other, so there was no class difference.
"He is the youngest son of the Lin family, but this matter must be kept secret." Xu Zhou said this and glanced at Gu Jinzhi. Seeing that the other party just rolled his eyes and said nothing else, and Lin Xu just smiled politely with pursed lips, he knew that there was no offense.
"Damn..." Douzi and Jingjing were very surprised. After all, when it comes to the Lin family, who doesn't know them. They only heard the rumor that the young master of the Lin family was made public, but they didn't expect it to be this gentle boy in front of them.
This combination is really magical, and it is inexplicably suitable.
"And there's something even more interesting. You know, at first Gu Er and I thought he was a liar. He even posted a fake photo of Jiashang Resort Hotel and said it was his own home. Hahaha! I also told us to break up quickly, who knew it was someone else's home..."
"That's enough. I didn't think Ah Xu was a liar..." Gu Jinzhi retorted loudly, looking at Lin Xu with guilt, thinking that this old man is so talkative. Is this something he can say?
But Lin Xu was obviously not angry, he was just a little helpless. Did Zhizhi think she still had an image in front of him?
"Don't be nervous." He patted Gu Jinzhi's back to smooth it out.
"I dare not... But you did lie to me! You said you were twenty-five or twenty-six, but who knew you were only in the third year of high school..." Let him be labeled as an old cow eating young grass!
Douzi, Jingjing, and even the waiter next to them were listening with great interest. Are
people in the city so good at having fun? But to be honest, who doesn't want a rich high school student to hide his identity and fall in love with him... It's too dreamy! He didn't feel angry at all about being deceived, but was very surprised.
"Hurry up, stop being jealous, and stop playing cards." Gu Jinzhi saw that they were moving slowly and urged them, listening to gossip can't delay playing cards. But he was still quite proud. No one thought he could find a suitable partner before, and Mudan's identity was always teased, but who knew that fate was so wonderful.
If he hadn't dealt with Ah Xu's brother yet, Gu Jinzhi would definitely show off to everyone in the city!
Lin Xu still let Gu Jinzhi take the main seat, and he acted as a wingman on the side.
"I'm unlucky, I will really lose everything!" Gu Jinzhi shook his head, and that way Ah Xu wouldn't be able to experience the fun!
"This Lao Liu is right, we all call him the money-giving boy." Xu Zhou joked.
Lin Xu looked at the many melon seeds that Gu Jinzhi exchanged, and thought for a moment, can he lose them all? That still requires a certain amount of strength.
So he whispered in his ear: "It's okay, you come and play, I'll give you some advice occasionally."
"Then I'll listen to you!" Gu Jinzhi said.
The handsome waiter next to him had a good look, always maintaining an elegant smile, serving tea and water without any ambiguity, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip of these nobles. Doing this business, this is also a very interesting thing.
There was a gay couple, and he couldn't help but look over there.
Sure enough, in this world of people, gays can also find high-quality partners. He could roughly see that this couple was the most popular among the crowd and they were also the most outstanding in appearance.
They were playing □□ today, which was indeed a luck game, and the rules of the game were indeed not difficult.
Gu Jinzhi's personal habit was to go all out if he had a pair or a big card in his open cards, and the game was all about the heartbeat.
"In this situation, do you think you should follow?" Xu Zhou waved to the waiter casually and asked casually.
The waiter had worked here for more than half a year, so of course he knew the rules of the game. This game was very clever. Xu Zhou's open cards were spades five, six, seven, and eight, while Gu Jinzhi's open cards were hearts five, six, seven, and eight, so it was a very tense situation. Now it seems that Xu Zhou has a greater chance of winning.
"You still want to ask others? Coward." Gu Jinzhi pouted and joked.
"Why are you the only one asking and I can't?" Xu Zhou retorted, looking at Lin Xu who was calm beside him. Today was really weird. After playing a few games, this Lao Liu actually won a lot, which was completely opposite to the previous situation. In the past, he always won Gu Jinzhi's melon seeds.
It must not be just a matter of luck. Now Xu Zhou looked at Lin Xu who occasionally stroked Gu Jinzhi's hair, and he actually felt nervous.
Has he really never played before? !
"Generally..." The waiter hesitated, looked across again, and involuntarily met Lin Xu's calm eyes. For a moment, his heart seemed to stop for two seconds.
"Usually I would follow." He gritted his teeth and wanted to see the situation on the other side. Would the other side follow?
Gu Jinzhi held his chin with his hand and waited till he was numb: "Shall we follow?" He asked Lin Xu in a relaxed mood. Now the other two had given up, leaving only him and Xu Zhou.
After winning a few games, the melon seeds in front of him were almost piled up into a mountain. Douzi and Jingjing looked at him as if they were about to spit fire. Gu Jinzhi never thought that winning would feel so good!
"Follow." Lin Xu weighed it for a moment and said softly.
"Is this much okay?" Gu Jinzhi pushed out a handful of melon seeds and asked.
After getting Lin Xu's nod, he felt a lot more relieved.
At the last moment, the trump card was revealed.
The other two immediately laughed out loud. They didn't expect Xu Zhou to lose today. They seemed to be gloating. They couldn't be the only ones to lose! Usually, Xu Zhou called himself the gambling king.
Xu Zhou twitched his head irritably, and the waiters beside him clenched their fingers nervously. After all, these people were playing big games. His suggestion made Xu Zhou lose the game, so he was worried that his work would be affected.
Gu Jinzhi's hole card happened to be a nine of hearts, and Xu Zhou's hole card was a number of a different suit.
"No, your boyfriend has never played before?" Xu Zhou didn't quite believe it, knowing that this was the culprit.
"Yes, we won many times tonight." Gu Jinzhi was also dazed. He looked at Lin Xu curiously. Didn't Ah Xu just know the rules?
Lin Xu wanted to explain, but felt that Zhizhi might not understand, so he simply said, "It's a matter of probability."
It's not a 100% sure thing, but the probability of winning is worth a try.
Gu Jinzhi happily put away all the melon seeds on the table, with a smile on his face. His parents and brother were right. His brain was really useful! But even if he didn't have this ability, it was a great deal to find a boyfriend with a good brain!
Gu Jinzhi felt that Lin Xu's head was emitting a holy light, which made him dizzy!
"Here, a tip. He lost all his pockets today. He can't afford it, hahaha." Gu Jinzhi was always generous. He waved to Xiaozhe and laughed at Xu Zhou.
Xiaozhe took it with surprise. Gu Jinzhi was much more generous than many customers in the past. This stack of money must be 20 big bills.
As a gay, his radar is always very accurate. Although this slightly fashionable and playful young man seems to be quite domineering, he is sensitive to the fact that the other party is actually always paying attention to the attitude of the boy next to him, and is obviously very dependent.
That boy must be 1. For some reason, he still feels familiar after looking at him a few more times. His temperament is very unforgettable. I don’t know if he has seen him somewhere, on the news?
In short, he has a good impression of these two guests.
"I have completed my task today!" Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, holding Lin Xu's face.
"Very good, I know more about your past, Zhizhi." Lin Xu deliberately raised his eyebrows and joked, but he was not really unkind. There was nothing wrong with gambling for fun and relaxation. What's more, Zhizhi just flipped the cards and had a silly laugh when she sat at the table, and she was not addicted.
"It's mainly to meet people. I don't come here often... The buffet here is quite delicious!" Gu Jinzhi smiled awkwardly, hurriedly changed the subject, and took Lin Xu to eat buffet.
Thinking in his mind, he would bring Ah Xu home to fight against the heroes during the Chinese New Year!
But Lin Shen never knew that one day, his well-behaved brother's head would be used in such a crooked way...
