Like a monster, a delicate monster.
Makes people have thoughts they shouldn’t, she’s not a tease~! Stop thinking.
"Cough cough..." Helian Xi hurriedly took a big sip of beer, feeling a bit thirsty.
Too ridiculous, she almost suspected she had delusions. The kind that persecutes others.
When Gu Jin Yan was little, she’d seen him when he didn’t even have clothes. Now she just saw his collarbone, and yet she could imagine so many scenes.
"Helian Xiaoxi, why is your face so red." Gu Jin Yan had a smile, lazy and casual, elegantly holding a wine glass, as if it wasn’t beer inside, but a glass of ’82 Lafite.
"It’s these charcoal fires roasting me." She couldn’t say it was because he rattled her. "Or maybe the alcohol is getting to me."
She glanced at Gu Jin Yan again, this man, how did he suddenly become so pleasing to the eye.
Not suddenly, probably she just hadn’t seriously looked at this appearance before.
Or maybe she realized, but just didn’t care that much.
Ugh! She really doesn’t care now either.
Oh my, what is she thinking?
"Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?"
Out of sight, out of mind.
Helian Xi focused on eating, honestly, as long as it was Gu Jin Yan approved, these things were really delicious.
Next time, she should bring Little Zhi Liao to try.
In life, finding someone to chat with is nice... uh, she can’t chat with Little Zhi Liao, after all, they’re a conversation ender. Having a friend to eat with isn’t easy.
Although they don’t have common topics, it doesn’t affect their feelings.
After eating and drinking enough, Gu Jin Yan took Helian Xi back.
She fell asleep midway.
Gu Jin Yan put his suit jacket over her, gazed at her for a while, long slender fingers gently touched her little face.
He just whispered softly and then continued to drive the car.
He didn’t have to wake her up until arriving at the Helian Family.
"Xiao Xi, we’re home."
"Mm..." Helian Xi drowsily opened her eyes, "We’re here?"
She only realized the coat on her when unfastening her seatbelt. This man is quite generous, with all the barbecue smoke on her, not afraid of this expensive suit getting stained?
"I’m leaving now." Helian Xi said to Gu Jin Yan after getting out of the car.
"Goodnight! Get some rest."
"Mm. You drive safely too." Helian Xi waved to him, then turned and left.
Gu Jin Yan only drove off after watching her enter the villa gates.
Lu Xingzhi had to meet with Bertrand’s inspection the next day, but she didn’t take a leave to skip school. Since she hadn’t officially suspended her studies, she had to come to school.
But, just as she entered the school, she ran into Luo Qingchen.
He was walking out of the school.
She didn’t know about Luo Qingchen’s thoughts, gave him a friendly smile, "Senior Qingchen."
"Morning!" Luo Qingchen didn’t know how much effort it took to say that word.
Lately, he’d been avoiding running into Lu Xingzhi, he didn’t dare face her, didn’t dare see her.
"Morning!" Lu Xingzhi replied.
Then they each walked their own way.
But Luo Qingchen stopped a few steps later, turned around, gazed deeply at Lu Xingzhi.
His eyes were complicated, but then he kept walking.
His heart was heavy, unable to let go, if Lu Xingzhi had feelings for him, he could still try.
Suddenly, he turned again, and quickly caught up with Lu Xingzhi.
