17. Chapter XVII

Full of wine and food, a few people guessed the fist to decide who would wash the dishes, three rounds of competition, Shao Bing and Guan Ce lost three games in a row with god-like luck.

"I'm not going! It's my birthday today, how can I let the birthday star work! Shao Bing made the last struggle.

Her accusation was exchanged for the indifferent eyes of everyone on the sofa.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, you're ruthless! Shao Bing hooked Guan Ce's neck, "Go to Guan Ce, work!" ”

Entering the kitchen, the two worked together to clean Shao Bing and rinse it.

There is not much gossip, buried in work, the kitchen is in full swing, the living room is not far behind, Zhao Jun and Song Jin are playing games, noisy and lively, and occasionally Zhou An's voice of "sowing discord" can be heard.

Shao Bing said angrily: "Qiao Yuan is too unlucky, at this time, he should show more xiΓ n xiΓ n!" ”

Guan Ce was silent.

Shao Bing paused, pretending to be careless: "Do you think Qiao Yuan has changed a lot recently?" ”

"Okay."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's the matter, you have a grudge against him if you don't mention it? ”

Guan Ce's hands kept moving, and he asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Shao Bing approached with a gossipy face when he heard this: "Is he chasing you?" He's the one who texts you every day, right? ”

Guan Ce glanced at her: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Shao Bing was not happy when he heard this, and glared: "Why is it none of my business, your mother and my little mother handed you over to me before going abroad, and I have to be responsible for you!" ”

Guan Ce countered with a cold face: "Thirty-year-old face, eighty-year-old heart!" ”

"Who's thirty?!" Shao Bing splashed Guan Ce's face, "Honestly, do you like him?" ”

"Don't guess." Guan Ce was as steady as Mount Tai, and there were no waves in his voice and expression.

Shao Bing stared at him for a long time, but didn't find any flaws, and sighed with regret or rejoicing.

After being quiet for a while, Shao Bing suddenly said, "I think he really likes you." ”

There was a momentary pause in Guan Ce's movements, but he quickly returned to normal.

Shao Bing continued: "On the set, I found that he was often in a daze, and then laughed secretly. It's even more obvious today, haven't you ever left you without noticing his eyes? ”

Why didn't he realize that the shadow-like gaze was about to burn him out of the hole.

"He's sure he likes you, but what about you? How do I think you don't hate him either? ”

"You're going to get to the bottom of it?" Guan Ce frowned and looked at Shao Bing.

Shao Bing slammed the bowl in his hand and glared: "As your sister, of course I have to ask clearly!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Guan Ce paused, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face: "I don't know. ”

Shao Bing was ready for a long-term struggle, but she didn't expect Guan Ce to suddenly say this, she chuckled in her heart, and she was a little panicked.

Guan Ce has always been very assertive and a person with clear goals, but he said he didn't know at this time?

Guan Ce's hand unconsciously stirred in the pool, and said slowly: "I have clearly rejected him, and he hasn't done anything out of scope after that, what else can I do?" ”

Shao Bing looked at Guan Ce's frowning appearance and felt novel: "It's not out of range? Texting every day, and occasionally making a phone call didn't hit your bottom line? ”

Guan Ce heard the banter in her tone and glanced at her: "Will you be angry with 10086?" Or do you have a way to stop it from texting you? ”

"How can it be the same!" Shao Bing shook his head, "I understand what you mean, Qiao Yuan didn't do anything excessive, and he didn't cause you trouble, even if you know that his motives are not pure, you can't do anything about him, right?" ”

"I can't blacklist him!" Guan Ce was a little annoyed.

"It does have a headache." Shao Bing gloated, "Then it's only a matter of time before you are taken down!" ”

Guan Ce snorted coldly: "Why don't you say that he won't give up if he can't taste the sweetness?" ”

Shao Bing looked at him with a surprised face when he heard this: "You really think so?" ”

Guan Ce didn't answer, but his expression was illustrative.

Shao Bing shook his head: "You are too naΓ―ve brother, I don't think Qiao Yuan will give up." ”

Guan Ce: "You really want him to succeed?" ”

"No, I'm just telling you what I've seen and dispel your stupid thoughts of a war of attrition." Shao Bing's tone changed, and he said earnestly like a real eldest sister, "If you really don't feel good for him, talk to him well, it's not fair to him and you if it goes on like this." ”

Guan Ce didn't say anything, and I don't know if he listened.

After cleaning up, Shao Bing joined the team of the game army, and Guan Ce said that there was a text that needed to be dealt with urgently, and he went to the study on the second floor.

Zhou An looked at Guan Ce's back and felt faintly uneasy, and this uneasy feeling lasted until he left Shao Bing's house.

Song Yutao and Guan Ce both drank and discussed who would send whom home, but Guan Ce took the initiative to ask Zhou An to send him home.

Zhou An's heart was full of alarm bells, and the first time was when Guan Ce was alone with a tragic mood.

After getting into the car, Zhou An hesitated whether to drive faster or slower, and he was anxious all the way.

When he was waiting for a red light at a certain intersection, he turned his head sideways and saw Guan Ce's indifferent side face, and suddenly he was relieved - no matter what happened, could it be worse than the current situation when his head was hot?

Thinking like this, Zhou An was so bitter that his throat was hard, maybe he really didn't get the blessing of Guan Ce's favor.

Unknowingly, he had arrived downstairs at Guan Ce's house, Zhou An unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car to open the door for Guan Ce.

"Qiao Yuan," Guan Ce stopped him, "I have something to say." ”

Zhou An paused, slowly withdrew his hand, leaned back in the chair and sighed, pretending to be relaxed: "I've been worried all the way, and I'm going to hear those words in the end." ”

He turned around and smiled at Guan Ce: "You say, I'll listen." ”

The light in the parking lot was very weak, and his features were submerged in shadows, only the eyes, like stars in the night, shone brightly.

Guan Ce's words that had been brewing all the way were suddenly a little speechless.

"What's the matter, if you don't say it, I'll leave, ...... in the future I won't give you a chance to say it in the future. ”

Zhou An said it with a smile, but even he could hear the unnaturalness in his voice.

He had already guessed what Guan Ce would say, and at this time he was struggling in his heart, not wanting to hear such heartless words, but also wanting to gamble, maybe Guan Ce didn't have no feelings for him at all.

Time passed minute by minute, but the atmosphere in the car seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Guan Ce moved, Zhou An's tense muscles subconsciously contracted, and his breathing suddenly became chaotic.

"I'm sorry, I can't respond to your feelings." Guan Ce never felt that the words of refusal could be said so hard, he forced himself to look into the other party's eyes, ignoring the fading light in it, "Although it will hurt you, it is better to refuse at the beginning than to say it after you have paid more." ”

"Isn't a long pain as a short pain?" Zhou An felt that he couldn't maintain the smile on his face, and raked his hair, "This is the third time I've heard the words of rejection from your mouth, it seems to ...... I have no reason to say no. ”

Guan Ce didn't know how to answer, the atmosphere was awkward, and he could only hear Zhou An's deliberately slowed breathing.

Is it really hard to feel like you need to deliberately adjust your breathing? Guan Ce felt a little incredible, he never thought that love would come so quickly, but he just recognized it for a lifetime at a glance.
