Difficult round

Chapter 56

"Sir, this is the small medicine box you want." Shen Qi was in a daze when a waiter came over and put a small medicine box on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Shen Xi said blankly: "I didn't—" He wanted to say that I didn't ask for a small medicine box, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of something, and swallowed the last half of the sentence.

He squeezed his Adam's apple, looked at the small medicine box, and then at the waiter, "Who is this... who told you that I need this?"

"Yes—" the waiter looked around in the hall, probably didn't see the person who was looking for him, so he described to Shen Qi, "It's a gentleman in a black shirt, wearing a black mask, very tall .”

The heart in his chest was beating extremely violently, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom... as if he was about to knock a hole out of his chest.

"..." Shen Qi tried to open his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by countless chaotic emotions, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.

There was more than one person wearing a black shirt in the hall, but Shen Qi identified who it was.

"Sir, do you need me to bandage it for you?" The waiter saw that one of his hands was injured, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to bandage it himself, so he asked proactively.Shen Qi turned a deaf ear, just staring blankly at the small medicine box on the coffee table.

After a long time, he replied in a low voice: "No need." Then he asked the waiter, "Did you see, where did he go?"

That's the question, but Shen Qi didn't have too much hope, but the waiter really noticed: "It seems to be going to the swimming pool downstairs."

The main reason is that the gentleman wearing the mask is so good, she couldn't help but take another look, two, three...five, six, seven, eight, and "accidentally" saw the gentleman turn away from the window pool area.

"Thank you." Shen Xi suddenly stood up from the sofa. "Hey sir, wait a minute, your wound hasn't been bandaged yet, sir—"

When Gu Yan went downstairs, Tan Xiaolei was sitting on the deck chair by the swimming pool, and two cigarette butts had been lost by his feet.

Seeing Gu Yan approaching, he lazily raised his eyelids, smoked two more cigarettes, bit one between his lips and lit it, and threw the other to Gu Yan.

The two sat and smoked the cigarette, during which neither of them spoke. For some reason, the atmosphere that had been good before suddenly became a little tense, so that it seemed inappropriate to say anything.

Gu Yan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes.Then he took the initiative to break the deadlock: "How did you play today, is Teacher Tan still satisfied?"

It was an accident that Gu Yan's invitation letter fell into Tan Xiaolei's hands.

After get off work on Friday, he and Jiang Xin made an appointment to go to the club, and it was almost 09:30 when they came out. The two cars parked in different directions, and after leaving the shooting range, they left separately.It turned out to be such a coincidence that I ran into Tan Xiaolei in the parking lot, along with another friend.

That friend's name is Li Lun, and he is also a member of Tang Yanjian's dead group of people who eat, drink, play, and eat. some bar.

"Hey Brother Gu, I heard from Lao Jiang that you are going to hold a masquerade party next week. You can bring single friends to the party. Do you think I am single enough? Can you give me an invitation letter?"

Li Lun is a rich second generation. His family runs a big company. He has a lot of business contacts with Gu Yan and his company. Of course, he is also very familiar with Jiang Mingyang.He saw the news of the masquerade party in the other party's circle of friends.

When it comes to the most good at eating, drinking and having fun, if Li Lun wants to be the second, no one dares to be the first. He is always surrounded by clouds of beauties, Yingying and Yanyan. Anyone in the world may be single, but he alone cannot be.

Gu Yan clinked wine glasses with him, and didn't even bother to refute him, so he just smiled jokingly.

Tan Xiaolei was much more direct than Gu Yan, and cut straight to the point: "Stop joining in the fun, and leave a way out for the majority of single male compatriots!"

When he got into Gu Yan's circle of friends at the beginning, he relied on Li Lun, so the two were very familiar with each other, and the latter was not annoyed when he was bullied, but felt that it was an affirmation of his charm and was very happy.

"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom, you two drink first." After saying a few more words, Li Lun got up and went to the bathroom.

They sat in an elegant seat near the bar, with a wide view and a panoramic view of the lively stage.At this time, there was a young band on the stage. The lead singer was sitting sideways on a high stool, holding the microphone in both hands, closing his eyes, and sang word for word:

"Those who are on the road may not be strong, maybe those who are on the shore have a heart of stone..."

He has a wonderful smokey voice, which is very suitable for singing such songs.

The drummer with short silver hair next to him looked younger, shaking his head, seemingly casually waving the drum in his hand, and the thin and dense drum beats seemed to be hitting everyone's ears directly.

"Brother Gu." Tan Xiaolei suddenly put his palm on Gu Yan's thigh, and shook it lightly, bringing the person immersed in the singing back to his senses.Gu Yan blinked his eyes slowly, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Tan Xiaolei turned his head to look in the direction of the bathroom, and then turned around with a sly smile: "Brother Gu, the invitation letter is a waste for Li Lun, but it's a waste if you don't use it. If you don't plan to bring others, do you want to consider me?"

For their masquerade party, those who have a date can bring a date, and those who don't have a date can bring a single friend, and Gu Yan's invitation letter has not been given out yet, and he doesn't know who he can give it to.

So if someone wants it, he doesn't really care who he gives it to, but that person probably can't include Tan Xiaolei, that's not appropriate.

I am afraid that the other party will misunderstand, so that there will be some unrealistic thoughts.

"We fell so casually and lightly, crying, laughing and struggling..."

The song on the stage was still being sung, Gu Yan drank his glass of wine, and said inappropriately: "Xiao Lei, don't wait for me, it's not worth it."

It is very disappointing to say this at such a moment.But Gu Yan spoke very seriously.He couldn't bear to throw away a heart that admired him at will, but he also couldn't bear to delay the other party.

It's not that he never thought about starting a new relationship, but maybe it was the last relationship, the last person, who overdrawn all his love obsessions, exhausted his efforts, and made him never again, at least in the short term. There is no energy in time to talk about another relationship, to love another person.

He couldn't give Tan Xiaolei a response.

Tan Xiaolei was dumb for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to say these words to him suddenly, and then laughed in a low voice:

"What, Brother Gu, you misunderstood, I just think this is quite fun, thinking that if you have an invitation letter, let me follow along to join in the fun."

"But now that I've come to this point, Brother Gu, I'm not afraid to let you know that I like you, but don't be troubled by it. I like you and you don't like me. It's our own business. I don't care about it. I will rely on my liking to ask you for something..."

Adults are like this. If you like it, you can talk frankly. If you don’t get a response, you don’t get entangled.

There is no reason why one cannot live without one.

"And you've said that, and I understand. If a suitable person appears, I will move forward. So Brother Gu, don't be afraid of me."

What he said was appropriate and appropriate, and he was very measured. If Gu Yan seemed to have a ghost in his heart, he could only smile wryly and shook his head, jokingly said: "I'm sorry, I have never been liked so much by anyone. I am so flattered that you I saw a joke..."

Tan Xiaolei also laughed: "Then can I be lucky enough to have an invitation letter?"

"That must be possible."
