After Xu Ke finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stiff and awkward.

Chu Liunian blinked and didn't know what to say, Chu Rujin bit his nails to restrain his appetite, and didn't dare to sit at the table for a long time.

Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh, she could understand Xu Ke's current mood, but it was okay to talk to them in the car, it was obviously a little inappropriate to say it in front of Qin Luo.

Whether Yao Yanyan really valued the banquet more, or if there was any conflict between her and Qin Luo, it was also a matter between Qin Luo and her, and from Xu Ke's identity, she would only increase the embarrassment in Qin Luo's heart if she said it so bluntly.

After all, in Tang Yu's mind, Qin Luo had carefully prepared for this dinner all day, but now he got the news that Yao Yanyan was not coming back.

In such a situation, it must have been difficult for him to say in his heart, Xu Ke had an emotional outburst at this time, she was happy to say it, then Qin Luo was still stabbed.

"Okay Xu Ke, don't say it."

Tang Yu shook Xu Ke's hand, secretly gave her a look, and motioned her not to mend Qin Luo's knife again.

Xu Ke also realized this later, but he was still a little angry, pursed his lips and turned his head to the side and stopped talking.

As for Qin Luo......

After hearing Xu Ke's words, he was in a trance for a moment, but he didn't show any special reaction, just smiled and said, "It's not that serious...... Okay, if she doesn't come back, forget it, let's sit down and eat first. ”

After he had finished speaking, he took the lead in sitting on the throne, and then, as if remembering something, got up and brought another bottle of red wine.

After sitting down again, seeing that the four girls were still standing at the table and not moving, he greeted him again: "Why are you stunned, come and sit, otherwise the food will be cold later." ”

He was smiling when he spoke, and his tone was also very soft, and he couldn't see any emotion just from the appearance, as if he didn't care too much about Xu Ke's words just now, and it didn't seem to be affected at all.

Seeing this, Chu Yijin also settled down, and took the lead in finding a seat to sit down.

She had long been hungry for this table full of food, but because of what had just happened, she felt that it didn't seem good to sit down and eat directly, so she kept refraining.

Now that Qin Luo didn't seem to have any problems, he was ready to feast.

Chu Liunian sat next to her close behind, but unlike the foodie sister who couldn't wait to get the chopsticks, she was looking at Qin Luo with a curious expression, as if she was guessing his inner thoughts now.

Tang Yu also felt that Qin Luo shouldn't behave so normally, today's meal said that everyone was having dinner together, but in fact, everyone knew that the protagonist tonight was Yao Yanyan.

Now that the protagonist is not here, Qin Luo, who has been carefully preparing all day, seems to have suddenly become a clown - but if he is a normal person, how can he not care?

So Tang Yu knew that the more normal he behaved now, the greater the mood swings in his heart.

It's just that he has always been a steady person, and he will not easily show his emotions, just like once at the school celebration, before he stepped on the stage, although his heart was already full of holes and wind and rain, he always had a smile on his face.

Tang Yu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Qin Luo took the first step and said, "Tang Yu, sit down, let you taste my craft tonight." ”

Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything, nodded and sat at the table.

In the end, there was only one Xu Ke left, she stood stubbornly at the table and did not move, and there was a lot of anger and grievance in her eyes.

It seemed that in her mind, Qin Luo shouldn't have reacted so plainly after hearing those words just now, but should have been as angry as her.

Seeing this, Qin Luo smiled and said to her again: "Xu Ke, don't worry too much about this matter, it's not a big deal anyway, Yanyan has something to do, let her be busy, we'll eat ours." ”

"But ......"

Xu Ke was so angry that he wanted to say a few more words, but in the end he held back, bit his lip and sat down silently.

The four girls sat around the table, looking at the dishes that filled almost the entire table, but three of them felt that they had little appetite - even though they were bright in color and enticing in their aromas, they were slow to pick up their chopsticks.

Only Chu Rujin had already held the chopsticks in her hand, but when she saw that others hadn't moved, she hesitated and didn't dare to move, and at the same time, saliva secreted wildly in her mouth, almost flowing out of her lips.

Qin Luo's gaze swept over them one by one, and finally shook his head, and said with a smile: "You say, why is a good party so embarrassing?" I'm her boyfriend, I don't care too much, why are you so serious? She didn't come back, she didn't come back, and it wasn't that she couldn't eat without her. ”

After that, Qin Luo picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Chu Rujin's bowl, and said happily to the snack goods: "Come, Xiaojin, eat a piece of meat." ”

"Okay!"

Chu Rujin was already hungry, and when he saw that Qin Luo took the initiative to clip a piece of meat for himself, he hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, and then showed a happy and satisfied smile while chewing, as if the whole person had become full because of a piece of braised pork.

Sometimes I envy this heartless snack guy...... Tang Yu sighed silently in his heart, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Yanyan send you a message just now?" ”

When this question was asked, Tang Yu actually already had the answer in his heart, because if Yao Yanyan and Qin Luo had said it, then Qin Luo would not have been so surprised when he saw that Yao Yanyan had not come back just now.

But Tang Yu still couldn't help but want to ask, because she didn't want to believe that Yao Yanyan was really like Xu Ke said - maybe it had nothing to do with fame or not, but if Yao Yanyan didn't say anything to Qin Luo, then Xu Ke was right, she really didn't take Qin Luo seriously.

In other words, it doesn't care.

But in Tang Yu's impression, Yao Yanyan is not that kind of person, but she can't be 100% sure, after all, some people's personalities do change after gaining fame and fortune, but she doesn't want to believe that Yao Yanyan will be like that.

"Didn't you already tell me," Qin Luo replied with a gentle attitude: "She has been on the rise in her career recently, and she is busy with work on weekdays, and banquets like this will also help her in her future career development, which is indeed quite important." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Although she doesn't go home often recently, it's not that she doesn't go home every day, no matter how busy she is at work, there is always a time to be free, for example, Shao Xinxin told me that they will have a day off tomorrow...... Haha, I also know why you did that just now, well, to be honest, after all, after preparing for a day, it is false to say in my heart that I am not disappointed, but it is not a big deal, and I will let her compensate me well tomorrow...... Well, let her cook me a meal when the time comes. ”

After speaking, Qin Luo picked up the wine bottle and began to pour wine into the cup.

Xu Ke seemed to be very dissatisfied with his remarks, and said: "It's not a matter of a meal at all, she ......"

"Okay, Xu Ke."

Xu Ke's words were suddenly interrupted by Qin Luo, who picked up the glass that had just been filled with red wine and handed it to Xu Ke, chuckling and said, "Don't talk about this, drink some with me." ”

Xu Ke raised her eyes to look at Qin Luo's eyes, she liked Qin Luo's dark and deep eyes very much, whenever he smiled, those eyes also seemed to have some kind of soft glimmer.

But now? I don't know if it's an illusion, although Qin Luo smiled, she didn't seem to see anything in those eyes.

So Xu Ke pursed his lips, swallowed back the unfinished words, and said while taking the wine glass: "Okay, I'll accompany you as much as you drink." ”

Her words seemed to have some kind of comforting effect, making the curvature of the corners of Qin Luo's mouth more obvious.

He didn't say thank you or anything like that, just picked up the cup and handed it to Tang Yu, saying, "I haven't seen you for two months, drink a little to celebrate." ”

"Okay," Tang Yu agreed without hesitation, and her generous and happy appearance seemed to show that she had the same meaning in her heart as Xu Ke's words.

Qin Luo smiled and nodded at her, and was about to pour another Coke for Chu Liunian and Chu Rujin, when Chu Liunian suddenly said, "Pour me a glass of wine too." ”

Qin Luo was about to pour Coke when he paused slightly, and his eyes revealed a bit of surprise when he looked at Chu Liunian.

Chu Liunian said happily: "Although I rarely drink, I do drink occasionally, and the amount of alcohol is not bad." ”

"Really?" Qin Luo blinked, then laughed, "Let me guess...... Well, is it seeing a picture of the characters drinking in the anime, so in order to increase the sense of substitution, so I have a drink myself? ”

Chu Liunian was slightly stunned: "How do you know?" ”

"Haha," Qin Luo smiled happily, and then poured a glass of wine for Chu Liunian.

Chu Bijin, who was feasting on a piece of chicken wings, saw this scene, and his eating action suddenly slowed down.

Then she looked left and right, and saw that everyone was pouring wine in their glasses, so she hesitated and asked, "That...... Then I'll have a drink too? ”

"You're still young, just drink Coke," Qin Luo smiled and poured her a Coke, and then rubbed her head slightly dotingly.

"I'm not young, I'm older than Chu Liunian," Chu Bijin arched his nose a little unconvinced, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Chu Liunian occasionally did some strange things when he watched anime, and once, as Qin Luo said, when she saw the characters in the anime drinking, she also found a bottle of wine from home to drink.

Chu Rujin had never drunk alcohol, and he was quite curious about this legendary drink exclusive to adults, so he couldn't help but taste it too, and after swallowing the wine with difficulty, he stuck out his tongue with "fufufu".

She felt that thing was very difficult to drink, and it belonged to the type that she wouldn't take the initiative to put in her mouth, but if Qin Luo wanted her to drink a little, she wouldn't refuse.

Fortunately, Qin Luo didn't ask for that, but poured her the Coke she liked, which made Chu Rujin very happy.

In particular, she felt that red wine and coke looked similar when poured into a glass, so it didn't seem to be out of place, so she was even happier.

"Alright, let's have a drink."

Qin Luo picked up the wine glass and faced everyone, with a smile on his face, as if he really didn't care whether Yao Yanyan was present or not, but thoughtfully entertained all the guests or friends present as a host.

A few little girls are not ambiguous, serving wine, drinking Coke, and the first cup is directly full of toasts.

Since Xu Ke moved in, he occasionally drank with Qin Luo and Yao Yanyan, and he practiced it after many times, and there was no problem with a toast.

Not to mention Tang Yu, although she doesn't drink much on weekdays, but she was born in such a family, and she often participates in some special occasions since she was a child, so drinking is a basic skill, not to mention a glass of red wine, even if it is a second or two white wines.

Of course, two taels of liquor will definitely not be comfortable in one sip.

Chu Bijin drank Coke, and after drinking it, she hiccuped with satisfaction, and then began to devote herself to the table full of food, as if a sip of Coke increased her desire to eat by 30%, and she didn't forget to fill herself with another glass before eating.

It's Chu Liunian, this two-dimensional beautiful girl who claims to have a good amount of alcohol, and a glass of wine goes directly to her face, as if she is not drinking red wine, but a glass of dye.

Seeing her delicate and fair melon seed face flush at a speed visible to the naked eye, Qin Luo had to ask her, "Are you okay?" ”

Chu Liunian glanced at him, and then ignored Chu Rujin's dissatisfied eyes on the side, took a sip of her Coke, and then muttered to himself: "I knew that I brought Tsunade's COS ......"

Her voice was very small, but Qin Luo still heard it, so he couldn't help but glance at her chest, then withdrew his gaze and sighed faintly.

"Huh! What kind of eyes do you have! ”

"Nope."

"You already have! That kind of faux pas! You're definitely thinking something weird in your mind! ”

"Not really."

"Definitely!"

Seeing the two of them laughing one by one, the originally strange and embarrassing atmosphere on the table also dissipated, especially seeing that Qin Luo didn't seem to be too affected by Yao Yanyan, but was still in the mood to joke with Chu Liunian, Tang Yu and Xu Ke's mood also relaxed.

Little by little, the wine in the bottle was quickly consumed.

By this time, Chu Liunian, who had drunk two glasses of red wine, was obviously a little irresistible, and said that he would lie on his stomach for a while first, and finally simply snored.

So Qin Luo had no choice but to put her on the sofa and lie down first, while not forgetting to cover her with a thin blanket, and then returned to her seat to drink and have fun with Tang Yu and Xu Ke.

At this time, Chu Bijin had no consciousness of being an older sister, and turned a blind eye to his sister's drunkenness.

When the second bottle of red wine was drunk, Xu Ke and Tang Yu's faces were obviously red, the former was obviously not as good as the latter, although it was not directly drunk, but the emotions that were originally suppressed surged, and they began to mumble with a little dissatisfaction.

"She just doesn't care about you anymore, she is now famous and a big star, she feels amazing, but she doesn't want to think about how she became a big star, if you didn't help her so much, how could she have ...... today"

Yao Yanyan's actions today obviously made Xu Ke angry, and after drinking, she couldn't help but start complaining.

After hearing this, Qin Luo just smiled and said nothing, then took a bite of food for her, and gestured to her with a cup.

Xu Ke was not ambiguous at all, and even because he still had a little temperament on top of the alcohol, he was bored when he picked up the cup.

As a result, the strength may be a little bigger, and after drinking, his eyes are obviously blurred, and after a while, he also lies down on the sofa in a daze.

At this time, Chu Bijin was still feasting on this plate of chicken wings, and eating it was called a pleasure.

And Qin Luo poured himself a full cup again, and then raised his glass to Tang Yu, and didn't forget to ask: "Are you okay?" ”

This question is tantamount to provocation for men, but women are obviously not aware of it.

Tang Yu pursed his lips and silently picked up the cup.

In fact, she felt that she was almost the same, although she could drink a little more, but if she drank it again, it would definitely not be much better than Xu Ke and Chu Liunian.

As a more rational person, Tang Yu basically won't let himself drink too much, because drinking too much alcohol means that his consciousness will not be clear, and he may even become a completely different person than usual, so he will do something that will make people's scalp tingle when he wakes up the next day.

Tang Yu has some idol baggage, and he resolutely doesn't want to let himself fall into that embarrassing situation.

But now after a few glasses of wine, her consciousness has also become less sober under the influence of alcohol, so that when she thinks of Yao Yanyan's matter and Qin Luo's reaction when she sees Yao Yanyan not coming back, she can't help but ask a question.

"Qin Luo, is there something going on between you and Yanyan?"

Tang Yu wanted to ask this question for a long time, but Qin Luo deliberately didn't mention Yao Yanyan just now, and of course everyone wouldn't mention it again, and even forgot about Yao Yanyan after drinking two glasses of wine, and he was very happy to change the cup and chat.

It wasn't until now, Xu Ke and Chu Liunian were drunk, and there was only one snack left, ignoring what was going on outside the window and only eating big chicken wings, that Tang Yu finally asked.

"No," Qin Luo replied very simply, as if he was confirming a fact.

But these two short words were not convincing to Tang Yu.

So she continued: "I believe that Yanyan is not the kind of person who will change just because she is famous, but what Xu Ke said before is not completely unreasonable...... Something must have gone wrong between you, otherwise it would be impossible for Yiyeon's character not to come back for a banquet......"

"No, you're thinking too much, drink bar."

Before Tang Yu's words fell, he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Luo.

Then Tang Yu watched Qin Luo drink another glass of wine, and after drinking it, he poured himself a full one, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.

Because she was finally sure that Qin Luo's mood was far from being as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

The wine he drank and the wine glasses that were filled again and again all represented that he was now restraining and suppressing a certain emotion.

Tang Yu pursed his lips and wanted to say something more, but Qin Luo raised his glass again.

Seeing this, Tang Yu finally didn't say more, silently drank the wine in the glass, and then filled the wine glass by himself.

Although he didn't know what was wrong between Qin Luo and Yao Yanyan, and although he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart right now, Tang Yu was sure of one thing, that is, Qin Luo was not happy now, so he wanted to borrow alcohol to numb himself.

In that case, let's drink with him.
