Chapter 245: Secret Contest (2nd Update)

"You haven't introduced it yet." Su Xiaoran was about to invite Gu Bei in, but Chen Xi suddenly took her hand and said quietly. Su Xiaoran was surprised, turned his head to look at him, and then looked at Gu Bei with a calm smile on his face, only to remember that he hadn't introduced them to each other yet, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and said simply: "Gu Bei, a doctor from the People's Hospital, Gu Bei, this is my boyfriend, Chenxi." ”

"Hello."

Gu Bei stretched out his hand, his smile as bright and warm as ever. "Hello, Chenxi." Chen Xi rarely stretched out his hand and shook hands with others, and the two shook hands for a minute or two, as if they were fighting in secret, and Su Xiaoran was panicked.

"Let's go inside!"

Su Xiaoran urged again and again, and the two of them let go of their hands at the same time, Chen Xi let Gu Bei walk in first, and he himself put his hand on Su Xiaoran's shoulder, and both walked in at the same time.

As soon as they came, Hua Yan was liberated, and hurriedly stood up to help Gu Bei pull the chair, and the volume of his speech was much higher: "They all said that they would wait for you to order, and I don't know what you like to eat." ”

"I'm casual, as long as I have Chinese characteristics." Gu Bei sat down in the position between Huayan and Chenxi, and Su Xiaoran began to introduce: "Let me introduce it to you, this is a doctor from the People's Hospital, who just came back from abroad, is my mother's attending doctor, named Gu Bei." Gu Bei, I would like to introduce you to Huayan, Qiqi's ...... Boyfriend. This is Charlene, the sales director of Chenxi and their company. ”

Gu Beiyi greeted them one by one, and when facing Xia Lin, Xia Lin took the initiative to speak: "Did you live in the United States before?" ”

"Yes, San Francisco, USA." Gu Bei didn't know who Charlene was and what her relationship was with them, so he replied politely. Charlene smiled gently, "What a coincidence, I also have a friend in San Francisco. ”

"Really? San Francisco is a great place to be. ”

"What's good, she's sick and can't go out all day, where do you know what's good outside?"

Xia Lin said, her eyes were gloomy, Gu Bei was about to ask what the condition was, Su Xiaoran interjected: "Let's order first, everyone is hungry." ”

Saying that, the menus were given to Gu Bei, Xia Lin, and Qiqi respectively.

Qiqi looked at the menu and brushed it to see which one was more expensive and ordered it, in order to relieve his anger, Gu Bei looked at the menu very seriously, Xia Lin glanced at it and handed the menu back to Su Xiaoran: "It's better to order it from the host, my taste is with the public, there is no taboo." ”

"I really envy those who don't have taboos, they eat everything, and they don't distinguish between first come and come or whatever."

Qiqi's sudden words made Gu Bei inexplicable, but everyone else knew it, and no one responded to anything, Charlene glanced at Qiqi in a daze, smiled, and held her chin with both hands to look leisurely.

"That's all, you're welcome."

Gu Bei ordered three dishes and handed the menu to Su Xiaoran, even if the dishes were ordered, Su Xiaoran first focused on Gu Bei in order to enliven the atmosphere:

"Qiqi, didn't you promise my mother to introduce someone to Gu Bei? Don't take advantage of the time to understand it now. ”

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Qiqi, meaning not to embarrass her too much. Qiqi was also looking for someone to be popular, so he said: "There are too few excellent men like Gu Bei now, I like them all, and my sisters are not worthy of him at all." ”

"Qiqi, don't make fun of me." Although Gu Bei has received an open-style education, he can be so boasted by a girl in public, how can he be more reserved.

"Where am I kidding, look at you, you look at you, you are so handsome, you are knowledgeable, you have a successful career, you have a warm personality, how many girls dream of marrying you? Even Su Xiaoran's mother can't stop praising you! ”

Qiqi's mouth started running, he couldn't stop it all of a sudden, he said everything, Su Xiaoran didn't have time to stop it, he could only sneak a glance at Chenxi, and most of the whiteness on his face had been replaced with black lines.

"Today has become Brother Gu's welcome party."

Chenxi, who has never liked to talk in the crowd, also took the opportunity to interject, and Su Xiaoran hurriedly rescued the scene: "Most of my mother's injuries healed so quickly because of his careful care, so her old man kept shouting to ask Qiqi to introduce a good woman, you know, Qiqi has many friends." ”

After speaking, the strength of holding the teacup to warm his hands was even greater, and he secretly pinched a cold sweat.

"Mother Su is really warm-hearted, if there is no suitable one in Qiqi, I also have a few single friends here, why don't I introduce you to you another day?"

Xia Lin said seriously, single Qiqi didn't dare, as soon as she heard that, it was yin and yang, so she pulled her face, regardless of whether it was ugly or not: "Charlene means that my friends are not worthy of Gu Bei, but your friends can, right?" ”

The air condensed suddenly, and Charlene got cheap and behaved, and quickly waved her hand: "I didn't mean that, you were too worried." ”

"Where am I worrying too much, things gather people in groups, if my friends are not worthy of Gu Bei, it is because I am not good enough, although I am not a nerd, but I can still understand this meaning."

"Qiqi, you really misunderstood what I meant, Huayan, why don't you hurry up and explain it to Qiqi!"

Charlene's words are the last line of fire that ignites Qiqi's anger, she called Huayan in front of everyone, what's going on? Is it a declaration of ownership of the initiative?

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely embarrassing, Hua Yan took Qiqi's hand and motioned for her not to ruin the party, but the more he was like this, the more Qiqi felt that he had begun to lean towards Charlene's side.

At the same time, Gu Bei was very embarrassed, he didn't know the entanglement between the three of them, and thought that he had caused this scolding war that might erupt at any time, so he stood up:

"Where am I so good, besides, my requirements for the other half are not so high, just follow the fate."

"That's what I mean, mainly because I want everyone to get to know each other, and it's okay to make a few more friends, right?"

While Xia Lin was talking, the waiter served the food, Su Xiaoran beckoned everyone to eat, and Chenxi also fulfilled her boyfriend's responsibility and personally filled everyone's cups with wine.

"Cheers first, for Xiaoran's mother to be discharged from the hospital, to welcome Gu Bei!"

Chenxi took the lead in raising the cup, and everyone raised their glasses, but their faces were different and their moods were different.

Su Xiaoran tried not to snub everyone, and greeted Gu Bei and Xia Lin, who were guests, to eat, but it made Chenxi and Qiqi feel uncomfortable.

"This is my first time back home to a party, thank you."

Gu Bei raised his glass and toasted everyone, after the second glass of wine, Gu Bei poured a third glass of wine, and turned to look at Su Xiaoran beside him across Chenxi: "Xiaoran, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The words were gentle, and the eyes were as warm as the sun shining directly on a winter afternoon, Su Xiaoran knew that the most surprising thing about Gu Bei was not his talent, but sincerity and truthfulness.

"I'm happy too." Su Xiaoran raised her wine glass, and was about to drink it when she was stopped by Chenxi: "You can't drink enough, you poured it in a few glasses, or I'll drink it for you!" ”

After speaking, he snatched the cup in her hand and drank it all, looking at the few people next to him who were stunned.

Such a cold man is so graceless when he is jealous.

Su Xiaoran felt that such a scene was familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered that her first meeting with him didn't come from a glass of wine?

At that time, she was embarrassed in front of her old lover and rival, drank his wine by mistake, and was coldly blamed by him for not making an example.

It's hidden deep enough!

Su Xiaoran secretly felt proud in her heart, but she quietly held the teacup to Gu Bei: "I'm really sorry, my amount of alcohol is real tea, replace wine with tea, welcome you to return to China, welcome you to today's party." ”

Gu Bei's temperament is good, he doesn't care about it at all, he just cares about her more carefully: "Girls should drink less." ”

"Gu Bei is so careful, Hua Yan, why don't you have a few more drinks with your new friends?"

Xia Lin came out to make a demon again, and before Qiqi could glance at her, she saw Hua Yan, who had always been a drinker, raise her wine glass: "In the past, only me and Chenxi were two people to drink, but now there is one more person, and it is not so lonely." ”

"Where's one more person? It's clearly two people, what's the matter, are you bad at math? ”

Qiqi stepped on him hard under the table, grinning in pain, but he didn't dare to shout, so he had to hold back the pain and lead down the cup of bitter wine.

"It seems that I shouldn't have come today, but I just met Huayan halfway, thinking that there was a party, and I didn't have long been here, so I wanted to gain popularity."

Charlene said embarrassedly. Su Xiaoran hurriedly rounded the field: "Where is it, you also went to visit when my mother was sick, and I should have called you to come with me today, but I was afraid that you would be busy with work, so I didn't dare to call you." ”

"She's really busy at work, busier than me." Chenxi said words that were neither yin nor yang, and Xia Lin was even more self-conscious.

"Xiaoran, what is this?"

Gu Bei stared at the boiled beef that turned to him and asked. "Boiled beef, you haven't eaten it abroad, have you? This belongs to the Sichuan cuisine series of Chinese cuisine, which is very spicy. ”

Before Su Xiaoran's word 'spicy' was spoken, Gu Bei couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and within a few seconds, he saw his face flushed, shouting spicy, Su Xiaoran hurriedly brought him a cup of tea, he never thought that the tea was actually hot, Gu Bei drank a whole sip and went in, and was embarrassed to spit it out, and the tears of anxiety came out, so he looked for the toilet in a panic, Su Xiaoran was not at ease, and followed.

Chen Xi didn't want Su Xiaoran to follow, but there seemed to be no reason to stop him, and it was uncomfortable to sit alone with them, so he had to drink a few glasses of wine with him, and he was unwilling to take a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said, "Where is it spicy?" I also came back from abroad, why don't I feel spicy? ”
