Chapter 22 There is a Strange Aroma in Love II
The bell at zero o'clock had already struck, and Mu Xuan walked out of the angel's smile restaurant step by step, the hooked moon hung high in the air that could be touched by raising his hand, and in the dark and quiet sky, there was not even a trace of floating clouds.
Mu Xuan elegantly put on thin leather gloves and put the helmet on his head. After all this preparation was ready, he held on to the motorcycle handle in a daze, he had not slept well for several nights, and there were a few lines of fine lines hanging from the tail of his eyes, even though his eyes were always filled with terrifying flying fog, but his stubborn eyes still did not turn to look at the mirror on the side of the handle.
The night grew darker, and even the dead leaves that had been swept up in the north wind were crying hoarsely. Mu Xuan shivered, his gloved hands overlapped each other, and then he rubbed back and forth in a cramped and uneasy manner.
His eyes looked at the elegant Western restaurant again.
July's tone improved slightly, she looked at Gu Beichen in a daze, and after thinking for a moment, her eyes opened wide when she looked directly at Gu Beichen.
"Gu Beichen, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, the stars and the moon came uninvited, and sent Cui Xueli and Mu Xuan away in a few words. What are your intentions ... “
July raised its vigilance, and even the decibel level of speech increased by one degree. She stared at him curiously for a long time, until the magnesium light that shone in her eyes slowly dimmed.
Gu Beichen's unruly face cooled down, he turned his head to look out the door at the customers who were slowly walking out of the door of the restaurant, and then slowly turned his head to face Qiyue.
"A woman's brain is really delicate? If you have been making clocks and watches for more than half a century, I will not come to you if I know that there is no major event, so it can be seen that you are very good at reading other people's minds. “
Gu Beichen joked. "But since you've figured out where I'm coming from, there's something you don't need to pay attention to, and sort it out into a scene of the crowned Tang Emperor, right. “
Gu Beichen lazily crossed Erlang's legs, he said slowly, and looked at her in front of him with raised eyebrows.
After a long time, he half-shouted and opened the conversation again.
"I have asked myself countless people in the summer and July, but this is the first time I have met a girl like you. Frankly speaking, you have your own mind, and you will never be a hermit crab, and you should not be a parasite at home. “
"What?" July looked suspicious at him, her body leaning forward.
"Isn't it right for me to ask that? “
Gu Beichen looked at July in front of him, and added with a snicker: "You can not explain to others, but it won't work for me." Just like you knew who I was from the beginning, although I didn't know everything about my rival family, the Xia clan, I didn't know a thing or two. If I can help you this time, after many years, can you sit on the throne with your noble hand, and don't make a black hand to the Gu family for the sake of access. According to the rules of the market, fair and healthy competition, even if the business fails, I will not splash dirty water on you. “
July's brain is a little short-circuited, and he speaks with too much information. This makes July, which is already indifferent to business, really unclear about the situation. She looked at Gu Beichen blankly with her head in her eyes.
In the strange and dreary silence, July has been thinking and hesitating.
Gu Beichen smiled lightly, "Tell me, when you first joined the orchestra, you took the initiative to complain with me because I targeted you everywhere, or because I kept stumbling on Mu Xuan, and you were distressed." Or is there a family factor in it? Gu Beichen's skeptical tone made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.
"No, no. July shook her head and replied without thinking.
"Nothing?" An inexplicable coolness came out of Gu Beichen's dark eyes, and July lowered his head and picked up a knife from the table, pretending to cut a slice of steak leisurely.
Silence
With a suffocating silence, Gu Beichen looked left and right around the quiet surroundings.
"Nothing?" asked the same question again, this time with a very sharp and resolute attitude.
"Is there no family factor, so it is possible that we can still be friends. “
July's hand was slightly out of strength, and his right hand, holding the fork, was frozen in mid-air.
July slowly raised his head, and the two of them looked at each other across the square table.
"You are really exactly the same as I imagined, so even if you know Mu Xuan's background, you will not dislike him and snub him. “
Gu Beichen smiled kindly at Xia Qiyue. The lightly hooked lip line is as soft as a rose.
"To put it mildly, there are indeed not many girls like you now, Xia's family education is strict for all to see, as early as many years ago, I heard my uncle in the business world talk about Miss July's legendary student career. But it's better to see than to hear, I've tasted you for half a year, if I hadn't met Cui Xueli first, maybe I would have to join the battle. ”
Gu Beichen took a sip of black tea, his slender white fingers and the gilded-edged tea set were simply natural, with a unique beauty.
"Thank you, you have no contempt or hostility towards either Mu Xuan or me. “
The pale red liquid rippled silently in circles in the white porcelain cup. Gu Beichen's black eyes became deeper and deeper, the light golden hair was scattered on his fair and flawless cheeks with the breeze, he looked at the teacup quietly, his sexy lips were gently pursed, and the corners of his lips passed a trace of intoxicating tenderness between his sweet breath.
He tossed the tissue that had wiped his lips to the corner of the table, and looked at the food that had not moved.
"Then when did you know about me? You already knew about it, didn't you? So you only told Mu Xuan this secret, right, no wonder he suddenly became so cautious. “
July lowered his head and whispered.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Beichen suddenly thought of something, and he asked unhurriedly.
At that time, Gu Beichen's mobile phone rang rashly.
Gu Beichen glanced at it, and then raised the phone high and held it up in front of July.
It can be seen that you can't talk about people behind your back, otherwise as long as you say it, regardless of right or wrong, right or wrong, people will come to the door without expectation. “
He couldn't help but smile. "Shall I take it? This kid is here for you. “
July went to grab the phone, her fingers just touched the low end of the phone, and there was already an intermittent busy sound on the other side of the phone.
"Hang up, forget it. July said stupidly.
Gu Beichen looked at July with a quiet smile. "You weren't worried about him just walking away in a huff, not afraid of any accidents he would encounter on the way back to school. Gu Beichen stifled a smile, "After all, you care about him so much." He kept teasing July.
"He's a very careful person and he won't let anything happen to him. July stared at Gu Beichen with a very strange gaze.
"What if someone wishes he would be in danger, and if someone can't wait to get this reckless intruder out of his life forever and ever?"
Gu Beichen stroked the plain white teacup, there was still a bright smile on the corner of his mouth, but the voice that swept through Qiyue's mind was cold and full of resentment. The voice was like a thunderclap on the ground, and it exploded in July's confused mind.
Of course, July understood that Gu Beichen, who had always been outspoken, was not malicious to Mu Xuan, but he still found it difficult to accept it when he suddenly said this. At the moment she just smiled politely and did not say anything. After all, anyone who listens to this kind of curse can gag their mouths.
"Gu Beichen, why are you talking like you are getting more and more nonsense? And I actually talked to you for half a night. July gently avoided his direct gaze, and she jerked to her feet. At that moment, she realized that her voice was as surprised and embarrassed as her face.
"Of course it's all nonsense, because that's in the ears of a smart man like you, but. ”
The flowing moonlight reflected Gu Beichen's side face as white as the fine porcelain tea cup in his hand.
"Xia Qiyue, I'm not alarmist, I also know about the bond between you and Song Minghao. That guy is coming to Qingyi. I looked at the student files, and it seemed that a bloody storm was brewing on the way. ”
When July heard the news, there was a sneer on his face. "I think I know why you came, do you want to do another thing for Mu Xuan? “
July didn't raise his eyebrows, so he said leisurely. "Don't worry, I only love him in my life. “
"No, you're mistaken. Besides, I have never done anything for Mu Xuan, but I almost hurt him for another person. “
Gu Beichen stared at July with an apologetic expression, and then lowered his eyes.
"What you did, you almost invited me out of the orchestra aggressively, such a painstaking masterpiece, it always seems that the EQ is not enough and the IQ can't be replenished. July said coldly, and a light smile like an ice condensation bloomed on her lips.
"I'm not surprised at all. Meeting his eyes, July squinted slightly with disdain.
"Not surprised, hehe. ”
He walked up to July, who was full of surprise, "Can I take a few more minutes of your time, I'll tell you everything." “
July nodded, gently brushed the corners of her skirt, and then sat back in her original position.
"If I almost did something sorry for you and Mu Xuan, what would happen to you, would you take revenge on me?"
He asked her expressionlessly, but his voice was tinged with his characteristic yuppie sunshine.
"The past is gone, so why hold on to it?" said July lightly.
"Then I will have the courage to confess to you, in fact, even if you blame me, I will say it today. ”
Outside the window, the misty snow mist seeped in, and with it a beautiful melody.
"I almost hurt your Mu Xuan for an inconsequential little thing. At the beginning, I was dissatisfied with the teacher's arrangement, and because I listened to Song Minghao's fanning in the bar, so I was my enemy everywhere. There are also Zhou Huixi and Cui Xueli, the person you shouldn't hate the most is Zhou Huixi, Zhou Huixi's resolute departure and provocation are all to cope with errands and fulfill you, of course, her feelings for Mu Xuan are not to mention you, even as a friend, it seems to me that it is indeed like a fish in the throat. But it looks like she finally chose to leave alone and let go for the sake of fulfilling your feelings, whether it is merit or fault, believe me, needless to say, you have naturally made up your mind in your heart. As for Cui Xueli, give her to me, Song Minghao has traveled thousands of miles just for you, I think Cui Xueli's heart should be cold. Even if it's not cool now, it won't be long before she will have a fight. “
A sentence knocked himself back to his original form, and Gu Beichen felt a sense of relief at that moment.
"What are you talking about, these people and you are not what you are. Don't you like Shirley Cui?"
July didn't know what to say, she froze in place. At that moment, she restrained her dull smile.
"What are you talking about? Is this a secret between the four of you? Why? He doesn't understand what I mean, there's no need for that. And how can this matter also involve you and Cui Xueli? ”
July felt angry in her heart, and at that moment, she only felt that her blood was boiling. But those messy pieces filtered through her mind, where they matched and where they didn't, and the bloody examples were enough to dumb her for a girl with short brain circuits.
The north wind blew through the treetops, except for the dancing frost white, the heaven and earth were so quiet that only the whispering of words between them remained.
"Of course, I don't think it's really necessary to do this, but since the situation has developed to this point, it is a little too passive to investigate the reason, July, if I were you, I would never ask why, but think about what to do next. But one thing is certain, Song Minghao's hunting target is you. But just now you are also thinking about your question, if your family does not know about your actions, then Song Minghao should also be presumptuous to come to you, a chaebol son is the most eye-catching wherever he goes, why do you have to do such a lot of homework? Aren't you surprised at all? By the way, Song Minghao should have looked for you, what did you say to each other? If you think about it carefully, maybe there is no answer to those words, but at least there is a breakthrough. ”
As he spoke, Gu Beichen gradually let go of the arm that was tightly wrapped around his shoulder, his left hand habitually inserted into his trousers, and he slowly stood up from the table.
"Bang!"
The closed window was forced open by a strong gust of wind, and the cold wind of melting snow seemed to break in.
A muffled thunder tore through the damp night, and only the whistling wind remained in Mu Xuan's ears, and he desperately moved forward to start the motorcycle.
July's body stiffened straight, and her lips, which trembled slightly, turned white.
"Gu, Beichen. For example, if Mu Xuan, he and Song Minghao are also family and clan grievances. ”
The howling cold wind enveloped her thinly dressed, and she hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward and pressed her body against the handle of the floor-to-ceiling window. When he turned back, his eyes sparkled like moonlight.
"From what I've observed, it's impossible. There is no need to look at anything else, judging from the clothes and hats alone, these two people will never have a relationship. Gu Beichen shook his head slowly.
"But sometimes the superficial things are often the best at lying, Mu Xuan and I have been dealing with each other for two years since the transformation of the orchestra to the present, but I must not know more about him than you who have been in a relationship for half a year. ”
"I, for Mu Xuan, he. July got up, she recalled Song Minghao's words when he left, could it be that Mu Xuan's origin that he had never talked about to the outside world was?
"I only know that in the student file, Mu Xuan only wrote the mother's column, and when the student union was doing the final filing and handover these days, I also used my position to secretly check Mu Xuan's file, but there was no trace of it clean, which already made me very confused. ”
Gu Beichen frowned and went straight to the point.
"I'm also curious, it's because I'm confused that I'm guessing wildly. July's eyes twinkled like words.
Speaking of this, Gu Beichen was also a little surprised, and the doubts in his heart were like snowballs. "But how did a person with an imperfect background who was so clean get into Qingyi? I have negotiated with Song Minghao several times, and he does know Zheng Muxuan very clearly. But he is always tight-lipped about this person, is it just out of a relationship between love and rivalry? Whether there is a coincidence in this, and how many accidental elements there are, I don't know. I think you, who cherish him so much, even if you know it, can you still say it to me, a former opponent who is no longer a threat?"
Gu Beichen shrugged his shoulders, his gaze always fell on the silent window, he shook out the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, and then walked towards the door with a radiant look.
"By the way, Zhou Huixi didn't say anything before leaving, including her resentment towards Mu Xuan and her hatred for you. She just walked away, quietly, one person with one suitcase. By the time Sherry and I arrived at her bedroom, her cabinet was empty, except for a butterfly hairpin. It's as if she's never been there. Oh, it's so desolate. Anyway, in Qingyi, she was also a strange woman who dared to love and hate. “
After Gu Beichen finished speaking, he walked out of the store by himself, and he temporarily put aside his chaotic thoughts due to countless entanglements. Liang Xia stared at Gu Beichen who was walking beside her, and when Gu Beichen lowered her head to look at her, she quietly avoided his stopped gaze, her heart steaming.
finally revealed his heart, and at that moment, Gu Beichen felt that this was the first time in his life that he hadn't done something stupid. Perhaps the previous events are about to turn the page with his departure.
Gu Beichen meditated and walked out of the restaurant, his mind was occupied by chaotic thoughts, and he didn't notice that he suddenly took off his helmet slowly from the corner of the alley.
The snow in the sky solidly engulfed the heaven and earth, and the violent wind whistled past Mu Xuan's ears one after another, and under the slowly weakening light, Mu Xuan couldn't take his eyes off the ramp closest to him. Despite wearing a helmet, the shredded hair scattered around his ears was drenched in snow, and strands of blue silk stuck to his tired and indignant cheeks.
Gu Beichen was anxiously waiting for the elevator, and between his low and ambiguous breaths, he gently closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but it became quiet around him.
"Hey, what do you mean, what is the company meeting and there is no way to get out, do you know that today is our 100th anniversary. It's only been less than four months, and you know that you're perfunctory. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, the rich eyes of the female student gradually came to his heart. "If I marry you, I don't know how much I will be wronged, can you trample on my youth if you have money and status? You are so much older than me, and it is not appropriate to let me spoil me more everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that you have a few brushes, you can be selected and daydream?" The girl's unrelenting scolding is even more noisy and thrilling, as if it is a unique martial arts drama fight.
Especially when she couldn't bear it impassionedly countless times, the girls gathered around her sneered at her.
The girl was still shouting, and there was a girl in the crowd who pouted her mouth. The expression on his face was so comical that he couldn't describe it in any words.
Gu Beichen was mixed in the crowd that was getting denser and denser, he gasped for breath, his sternum was stuck in pain, the night's wine and strong tea were completely effective at this moment, Gu Beichen's spasmodic stomach slowly began to turn over and down, he squeezed his mouth very hard, even if the unbearable vomiting was imminent, he didn't want to lose his dignity in front of so many people. He turned his face to the side and retched secretly, the noisy roar gradually faded into dead silence, and a series of unhurried footsteps echoed in the empty hallway.
Gu Beichen's ears began to buzz again, and his eyelids were as heavy as if someone had cast a spell on them.
He lay on the cold wall next to the elevator button, and in a daze, a hand gently pulled him up, and the elevator door was automatically closed with a "bang".
The smell of alcohol pressed each other again, Gu Beichen tightened his whole body, and he inadvertently grabbed that hand.
"Don't go, don't leave. At this moment, he couldn't control the sourness coming from his stomach, his body was so weak that he didn't have the strength to go around with her, and his face like a sun god finally forced a blooming Margaret.
"Why do you drink so much, do you want to die?"
As soon as the familiar voice fell, the surroundings fell into peace again.
"Take me home. In a smoky breath, Gu Beichen's black eyes slowly opened, and he quietly waited for her answer.
"I don't, I'm someone you're going to take you home. ”
Cui Xueli pursed her lips and slapped him twice in the chest.
"If you don't agree, maybe I'll have a wave of fainting operations in the next second, do you want to experience it. Gu Beichen restrained Cui Xueli's hand, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I believe that there must be a place for me in your heart." ”
His joints crumbled.
"Hey, let go, this is a public place. Shirley grabbed Gu Beichen's wrist with her backhand.
"Compared to wrist strength, you will definitely not be my opponent today. There was a glint in her eyes.
The physical discomfort made it impossible for him to continue to entangle with anyone. But he was still unwilling to show weakness in front of Cui Xueli.
He pulled Shirley's hand forward again, then clipped her petite body between his warm arms.
"Hey, do you know what you're talking about? You're too self-righteous, do you think I'm going to be an idiot?" Cui Xueli didn't know how to eat soft grinding and hard bubbles in July, seeing that Gu Beichen's fingers were a little out of strength, she struggled to break free from his control.
"Don't do that. Gu Beichen begged in a muffled voice, his fingertips slowly sliding down from the crook of her arm.
"Aha, I don't. Cui Xueli's eyes were cold, and she approached him without anger.
The elevator door opened and closed quickly, and Gu Beichen's golden hair danced wildly in the wind. With a huge sound of falling to the ground, Gu Beichen's mobile phone fell from his pocket to the ground in a flicker.
"Shirley, I said, don't move, don't move. Gu Beichen no longer has the domineering president style, and transparent sweat gushes out along his wet forehead. His brow furrowed.
"I've never lied to you, never. ”
"Never. “
"Hey, Gu Beichen, oh my God, don't sleep, don't sleep here. Hey, what to do. Cui Xueli protected the shaky Gu Beichen in her heart, and she quickly scanned the empty surroundings with her keen little eyes.
"Hey, cheer up. She patted his cheek in a daze.
