Dont Be A Kept Man - Chapter 164
A mobile phone was quietly placed on the marble circular rock slab of the Nordic style, and news came from time to time. The slight vibration sounded for a long time in the quiet living room, which seemed a bit noisy.
A man walked out of the bathroom, pressed the mute button with his distinct hand, glanced at the message, then took out his clothes from the closet and changed it on. The neckline was thinly turned over, and the buttons were buttoned to the top. And meticulous.
He straightened out some messy hair in front of the mirror, his face expressionless, his temperament was alienated, he let down the air pressure brought by the peach blossom eyes, his pupils were light brown, with a bit of inorganic cold, thin. Can’t see any human emotions.
Yu Xi had just returned from the cinema, walking swayingly on high heels, walking through the aisle, and was about to take out the key to open the door, only to hear a click, her neighbor who hadn’t been out for more than half a month actually came out.
“Oh, it’s strange,” Yu Xi paused, tilted her head slightly, the key dangled on her slender fingertips, and looked at him up and down, “Gu Lai, where are you going to wear this formal dress for the night? ?”
“No, attend a college party.”
The man seemed to be cold, he spoke unexpectedly and gently, with a serious look.
Yu Xi became interested in an instant when she heard that, she always liked to join in the fun: “It’s true, we are clearly in a university, why didn’t I know that there is a party, you take me to chant.”
They are all classmates, so there should be no problem.
Gu Lai thought for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”
Yu Xi was happier and slapped him on the shoulder vigorously: “Very loyal, although you broke your brain in the hospital some time ago, don’t worry, sister is covering you!”
The two of them entered the elevator together. The diamond-shaped frosted mirror used for decoration blurs their faces. Yu Xi leaned back on the handrail and took out the air cushion to patch up her makeup. Seeing Gu Lai standing aside, her face was bright. The light is dim and unclear, like…
Like a robot without emotions.
Yu Xi couldn’t help but talk, “Gu Lai, you really don’t remember anything?”
After hearing the words, Gu Lai turned to her slightly and said that he was listening, with impeccable etiquette, and answered earnestly: “Yes.”
Yu Xi felt that he had changed a lot, not good or bad, and casually said: “It’s okay, concussion, I can’t remember normal, it will be fine after a while, right, have you found a new job?”
She and Gu Lai are university classmates, but their majors are different. After graduation, they happened to live in the same community, and they are still neighbors. Some time ago, Gu Lai found someone to do business in partnership. He was cheated of a lot of money. When he was fighting with someone, he accidentally fell downstairs. His brain was broken and he knew no one.
Thank others for their concern.
When Gu Lai heard the words, the light-colored pupils smiled: “Thank you, I have found it.”
Yu Xi’s heartbeat was quickened by the laughter, she brushed the cold brown curly hair on her shoulders, then rolled her eyes and said, “You don’t like women again. Just pick up boys, don’t pick me up.”
The two of them were “people of the wind” at the beginning of the university, the famous scum boys and girls, half of the school grass that can be counted, were folded in the hands of Gu Lai and half in the hands of Yu Xi. The kind of kick is called scum.
Yu Xi didn’t know that Gu Lai had changed a core inside, but thought that he would be better at pretending, and said with a charming smile: “Handsome man, I don’t have a car, don’t you mind letting me run around?”
“Yes, it is okay to help each other.”
Gu Lai’s car is not expensive. It costs more than 100,000 yuan. It has been left in the garage for a long time and it has accumulated a lot of dust. He had a Bentley before, but the business failed and was directly used to pay off debts.
Yu Xi got on the co-pilot, with Erlang’s legs upright, to live up to the name of a scumbag: “You used to be high-spirited and didn’t want to work for others, but this day is too embarrassing. Find someone who is taking advantage of you early. ”
“fasten your seatbelt.”
Gu Lai didn’t answer her words, and started the car. The speed was smooth without the slightest turbulence. He seemed to be able to accurately predict the road conditions, and he could just catch the green light every time, always maintaining a very comfortable flow.
Yu Xi supported his chin and said, “Whoever initiated the party has graduated for so many years. I don’t even remember who is who, and I don’t know if there are any handsome guys.”
Gu Lai couldn’t answer this question. He didn’t inherit the memory of the original body. The car lights in the outside refracted along the glass, giving his dull eyes a little more dense luster.
I don’t know who initiated this class reunion. It’s located in a clean room. It is considered a high-end consumer place in the city. Ninety-nine percent of the parking spaces outside are luxury cars. Began to move around: “Wow, what should I do, I want to find a boyfriend.”
Gu Lai got out of the car, walked around, opened the door for her very gentlemanly, and reminded her seriously: “You just talked about one five days ago.”
“It’s divided early, let’s go, which box?”
Yu Xi spread out her hands needlessly, trying to hold Gu Lai’s arm, but was gently avoided by the latter. She raised her eyebrows slightly and became interested: “Why?”
Gu Lai explained seriously: “We are not boyfriend and girlfriend.”
The system does not fully understand the rules of this world when it is the first time to be a human being, but it is vaguely aware that this is not good.
Yu Xi was overwhelmed with joy: “Oh, Congliang?”
When he walked into the bar, a waiter immediately stepped forward. Gu looked at the party information on the phone, reported a box number, and was led to the second floor.
The waiter bowed and opened the door for him: “You can ring the bell if you need it.”
“Thank you.”
The air-conditioning inside the box is very cool. The leather sofas are placed in a ring shape. The design style is bold black and blue. The interior light is dimmed by three degrees. The dark blue light is poured down and you can clearly see the inside. Some people have already arrived, all handsome, good-looking, really seductive, they are sitting quietly without disturbing each other, but Gu Lai’s entry seems to break the peace.
The moment the door opened, everyone looked up subconsciously. When they discovered that Gu Lai was standing outside the door, their sights suddenly changed slightly, and the pinpoints of a needle fell silently.
There was a man in a suit and leather shoes sitting in the middle. He turned the silver lighter in his hand over bored with an unpredictable expression. After a while, he chuckled and broke the silence: “Oh, rare guest.”
The ending is full of sarcasm.
Yu Xi glanced at the expensive diamond watch on his wrist, looked at his face again, and finally slapped Gu Lai behind him lightly, and whispered, “Hey, hey, Nie Suichuan, your ex.”
She always has good memory for handsome guys.
Gu Lai walked to the corner sofa and sat down. He looked calm and asked Yu Xi in a low voice, “What do I need to do to see my ex?”
His tone was so serious that Yu Xi couldn’t think he was joking when he was so serious. With Gu Lai’s rigorous look in his eyes, Yu Xi said sincerely: “You don’t have to do anything. Keep your current good attitude. Don’t Mess with them.”
From the moment he stepped into this door, Yu Xi knew that he had come in the wrong way. This was where the classmates reunion was. It was clearly the meeting of the previous one.
Gu Lai always felt that Nie Suichuan had been staring at himself: “Should I apologize to him?”
“Don’t,” Yu Xi held him down, “Did you forget that he was sent to the hospital when you broke up? Don’t move up.”
“……it is good.”
Gu Lai sat quietly for a while, and then looked at the fruit plate on the table. On the beautiful glass plate were slices of watermelon cut into the shape of a rabbit. The flesh was bright red and looked very sweet. There were a few bottles of unknown foreign wine beside it. Magnificent.
The system has no taste before, and has never eaten watermelon.
Gu Lai stared at the fruit plate for a long time, and found that no one moved. Finally, he hesitated to stretch out his hand, took a slice of watermelon, looked at it for a moment, and took a tentative bite.
Rusty, sweet, taste that has never been tasted.
Human food is delicious.
Gu Lai took a sip, took another bite, and then chewed slowly. A small piece of watermelon just felt like a French meal. After eating, he wiped his hands carefully with a tissue and found the trash can. A man was looking at him not far away.
With a delicate face, porcelain-white skin, big eyes, and a timid look, Gu Lai didn’t remember who he was, but based on the principle of friendship, he handed over a piece of watermelon and asked, “Are you eating?” ”
Unexpectedly, this action made the opponent’s eyes red, and there was no sound for a while, and water mist gradually appeared in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.
Yu Xi was browsing the Moments of Friends just now, and she saw this scene when she raised her head. He reacted and hurriedly pulled Gu Lai away, and said in a low voice, “Tell you not to go up, Yang Mian’s brain is sick. Stay behind your butt, except for crying and crying, and you can’t get rid of it.”
Gu Lai’s brown pupils were a little dazed.
Yu Xi just remembered that his brain was broken, and helplessly raised his forehead: “Who initiated this party? It is clear that it is against you. I will go first. You take care.”
After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and drove away with his bag.
Gu Lai did not move, socializing is an essential activity for human beings. Since he is a human, he must learn to adapt, so he continued to eat melons. Upon seeing this, Yang Mian looked complicated and nervously pinched the corner of his clothes and said: “Alai, I heard You were hospitalized some time ago, how are you doing?”
Gu Lai smiled and said, “Thank you, it’s all right.”
Yang Mian wanted to say more, but Nie Suichuan looked over and said meaningfully: “A good horse doesn’t turn around. I heard that you are an associate professor at the University of Z. With such a soft temper, how can you control your students.”
Because of Nie Suichuan’s words, the topic was unknowingly skewed to everyone’s current work. Some of them founded game companies, some were software developers, Yang Mian returned from studying abroad and worked as a professor at his alma mater, and Nie Suichuan is the current president of Tianqi Group. .
When the others were talking in low voices, only Gu Lai remained silent, all his enthusiasm seemed to be poured on the fruit plate on the table.
The lights are dazzling, and most of the figure of a man sitting in the corner is hidden in the dark. He is wearing a white high-necked casual shirt with a thin silver chain around his neck. It looks young and he holds it in his hands. A glass of wine, the liquid is dark red, and the white fingertips are covered with light and shadow of the same color.
“How about you?”
The man raised his head with a deep smile on his lips.
“Gu Lai, what do you do now?”
Gu Lai raised his eyes subconsciously and looked at him: “Me?”
The man closed his eyes and nodded, and a dark blue light and shadow fell on his shoulders, unpredictable.
With the eyes of everyone, Gu Lai smoothed the folds of the cuffs, and said seriously: “Do you know the development zone that Huang Yi has an impression of?”
The man raised his eyebrows with interest: “Doing a real estate business?”
Gu Lai: “No, I’m moving bricks on a nearby construction site.”
“…”
