Xue Xinran's voice was clear and melodious, and stood out in the midst of all the chatter.
Gu Nianzhi felt that the entire room had gone silent after Xue Xinran's words.
But perhaps it was just her imagination, because she quickly heard the clinking of glasses and the sound of Guo Huining fiddling with the karaoke machine.
Mrs. Cui sat on the other side of her and nudged her with a smile. "Yes, Little Gu, do you have a boyfriend? If not, I have a lot of handsome young men here! "She winked at her.
It seemed like one of the hobbies of good women was to be matchmakers …
Gu Nianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was a little flustered and stammered, "Huh? Boyfriend … Well … "
She recalled Huo Shaoheng's calm and rational voice when Mei Xiawen had tried to pursue her at school. He had told her that he had no opinion on what kind of boyfriend she had.
At the time, she didn't understand why her mood had immediately dropped when she heard his words.
Now she understood, but she couldn't tell anyone about it.
She now knew that she would never fall in love with another man, regardless of whether he had an opinion or not.
"Tell me? Why not? What's there to be shy about? " Xue Xinran tugged at her arm and shook it. She laughed and said, "Didn't you already graduate from university? It wouldn't be strange if you had a boyfriend. Don't feel pressured, we won't force you. "
Gu Nianzhi finally took a deep breath and straightened her back. She slowly exhaled and blushed as she whispered, "I don't have a boyfriend …"
"That's great!" Xue Xinran snapped her right hand. "Where's your phone? I'll give you my brother's number, he's … "
Before Xue Xinran could finish, Gu Nianzhi interrupted her with a smile. "But I already have someone I like."
Although her voice was soft and soft, it still penetrated the gap in the screen and reached Huo Shaoheng's ears.
His hand paused for a moment before clinking glasses with Bai Tianqun and Hong Ziqi and downing the contents in one gulp.
"Good! Huo Shao's tolerance is as good as ever! It's even better than before! "Xue Jingjiang laughed heartily and filled his glass again.
"You already have someone you like?" Mrs. Cui was curious. "But you also said you don't have a boyfriend. Are you secretly in love with him?"
"Crush? Are there still people who have a crush on someone these days? "Guo Huining sat on the Karaoke stage and turned around with a smile." If you like someone, go and confess. How could anyone refuse a girl like you? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled but didn't say anything. She regretted talking so deeply to these people she had just met.
Whether she had a boyfriend or someone she liked, what did that have to do with them?
She just couldn't restrain her desire to pour her heart out, so she took the opportunity to tell that person …
But just as she expected, that person did not respond at all.
Who she liked and who she didn't like was not within his consideration.
Gu Nianzhi got up with a smile and asked Mrs. Cui, "May I know where the bathroom is? I'll be right back. "
Mrs. Cui and Xue Xinran exchanged glances. They knew that they had said too much, and the little girl was unhappy.
"Come, I'll take you there. Just take a turn at the end of the corridor." Mrs. Cui stood up and held out her hand.
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Little Cui, it's okay. You guys sing, I'll go find it myself. The place wasn't big, so how could he not find it? I'm not a child. "She turned and walked away.
Mrs. Cui saw that Gu Nianzhi didn't want anyone to follow her. She remembered that it was broad daylight, and they were on Xue Jingjiang's turf. There was no way he would let anything happen to Huo Shaoheng's relative, so she didn't follow Gu Nianzhi out. Instead, she followed Xue Xinran and Guo Huining to find a place to sing.
Huo Shaoheng stood up and said to the four of them, "You guys keep drinking, I'm going out for a smoke." He walked out as well.
Xue Jingjiang and the others were all drunk, and none of them were a match for Huo Shaoheng. When they saw him walk out, they could only wave at him. Everything they saw was double vision, but they couldn't put down their glasses when they got too drunk.
…
Gu Nianzhi walked out alone and found the ladies' bathroom. She went in first, but didn't use the toilet. She tidied her hair and clothes in front of the mirror before coming out to the balcony to take a breath of fresh air.
It was too hot in the private room, and she was wearing a high-collared cashmere sweater. She felt like she was about to break out in sweat.
She walked to the balcony and saw that it was actually a glass balcony. In the winter, the glass ceiling would be lowered to create a thermostatic glass greenhouse. There were tall evergreen plants inside, and the sound of running water could be heard. The winter sun shone through the glass greenhouse's ceiling. It wasn't warm, but it wasn't cold either.
Gu Nianzhi looked around and sat down on a stone bench under a banana tree. She took out her phone and unlocked it, wanting to call someone.
She had been aroused by those people today, and her heart was pounding. She really wanted to ask someone if it was okay for her to have such thoughts.
Gu Nianzhi opened the contact list on her phone. Her finger slid over the long list of names, and she clicked on Little Temptress's profile picture.
It was just noon, and Little Temptress was either having lunch or sleeping.
She picked up the phone as soon as it rang. Little Temptress was about to take an afternoon nap.
"Nianzhi, is that you? Where are you now? "Little Temptress asked anxiously," Are you okay? "
They hadn't been in contact since Christmas night, when they received her Christmas greetings.
Little Temptress, Lady Cao, and Green Tea Fang were all worried about her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled, "I'm fine, I'm eating out with friends."
"Oh, that's good." Little Temptress sighed in relief, "Don't run away without a word again. You really scared the three of us that day."
"I won't." Gu Nianzhi felt that her ability to withstand shocks had increased. She switched the phone to her other hand and asked quietly, "Little Temptress, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
Little Temptress nodded, "I'm alone in my bedroom, just about to take an afternoon nap. Of course, I won't sleep if you want to talk on the phone. I've been sleeping at home all day during the holidays, I've gotten fat. "
Gu Nianzhi imagined Little Temptress's arrogant expression and couldn't help laughing, "Little Temptress, I want to talk to you, I'm very upset …"
"Is it because of Mei Xiawen?" Little Temptress perked up and sat up, leaning against the pillow, "Tell me, how do you want me to avenge you?"
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head, "No, no, what does it have to do with him? Little Temptress, to tell you the truth, I've never liked him from beginning to end. "
Because she already knew what it was like to like someone.
"If you've never liked him, then what are you upset about?" Little Temptress didn't understand. She took the iPad and swiped it open, planning to watch the drama while talking to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi stammered a few times before whispering, "Because I like someone …"
"Oh?! Really?! Who is it? Who is it? Tell me! "Little Temptress was very interested and flipped the iPad on the bed," Let me see if he's good enough for you. "
Gu Nianzhi said, "You don't know him."
"Won't I know him if you tell me?" Little Temptress snorted, "Hurry up and tell me! I'm warning you, you can't whet someone's appetite without saying anything, that's just being a hooligan! "
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "I like someone, but he won't like me."
Their status was an insurmountable chasm between them …
Little Temptress was silent for a moment, then looked at the phone and put it to her ear, "Is this classmate Gu Nianzhi? No way? Who would reject a girl like you?! He must be blind! "
"Keep your voice down!" Gu Nianzhi felt like Little Temptress's voice could be heard without a loudspeaker, so she quickly covered the phone, "Don't be so loud."
"Fine, fine, I'll keep my voice down." Little Temptress paused, "How do you know he won't like you? Have you confessed to him? "
"Of course not." Gu Nianzhi's face was as red as blood, how would she dare?!
"I see, I didn't think our Nianzhi would have a crush …" Little Temptress teased her with a smile, finally saying, "But I think you should let him know you like him …"
"No." Gu Nianzhi instinctively objected, "I'm afraid if I tell him, we won't even be friends anymore."
If she was rejected, she wouldn't have the face to stay by his side anymore.
"Uh, how about this, you flirt with him." Little Temptress waved her arm, "Big Sis will teach you a few tricks to flirt, it'll be a piece of cake for you!"
