Ding Shaonan didn't go to the parking lot after he left the private room. Instead, he went to the disco bar downstairs. When he passed by the dance floor, he accidentally caught sight of a familiar figure, so…he stopped in his tracks.
The DJ chose some fast-paced housemusic. In the psychedelic light and shadow, no one cared who was next to them. Gu Qiqi, who was originally dragged in by Li Tongqiang, quickly relaxed and gradually became a Party animal with the music. When the two of them ran back, sweating profusely, they saw Du Luxuan bending over to write a card and handing it to a beautiful woman beside him. He shrugged at Gu Qiqi and Li Tonggong and left.
Li Tong looked at the woman's back and blinked at Du Luxuan."
"Old Du, I don't like to come to the PUB with you. You're so smart. If you gave birth to me, why would you?”
Du Luxuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile,""It's impolite to refuse a lady, so I left your phone number.”
There was no shortage of such stories in the nightclub. Usually, they were willing to say goodbye at dawn. Du Luxuan was not interested in this, but he would occasionally cling to it, and he would resort to such a tactic when he could not get past it.
"F * ck!" Li Tong immediately cried out. You're doing it again! The last time, she pestered me on the phone for half a month. I almost thought that she was really going to be with me forever. In the end, when she saw that the owner had changed, she turned around and left without saying a word! Although I'm not as handsome as you are, I'm still known as a pear flower that can suppress the crabapple, and I'm nicknamed the little jade faced dragon! Why is there no market for it?"
Gu Qiqi was already shaking from listening."Boss Du! Is this what you did?"
Li Tong looked indignant. Sister Gu, let's have a drinking game! Stay with me alone tonight and comfort this little soul that has gone through the vicissitudes of life!”
The three of them began to play dice in the booth. Du Luxuan was always gentle and polite. Under the influence of Gu Qiqi and Li Tong's clapping and screaming, he gradually let go. He felt that tonight was a rare moment of relaxation in recent years.
Li Tong also looked as if he had found a soulmate. While Du Luxuan went to the bathroom, he dragged Gu Qiqi along and started playing a drinking game with Bee. Du Luxuan came back and felt that the drinking game was really indecent. It was too childish to just watch them laugh from the side. Li Tong simply left Du Luxuan behind. The two of them happily cooperated with the drinking game that was getting faster and faster. Their mouths kept making "Pa Pa" and "Ah Ah" sounds and imitating kissing sounds.
Du Luxuan sipped his beer slowly. He watched as a thin layer of sweat gradually formed on the tip of Gu Qiqi's nose. A layer of redness appeared on her fair cheeks, and her dark eyes sparkled. It was as if she did not fit in with the beauty around her, but it was also difficult to look away.
This was the first time he realized that when she was really happy, everything around her would lose its color. Just as he was engrossed in reading, a wine glass suddenly stretched out in front of his eyes. He raised his head and met a pair of eyes that were as cold as stars. Du Luxuan greeted in surprise,"
"Shaonan!"
Ding Shaonan only nodded and sat down in front of Du Luxuan with a nonchalant attitude. He knocked his glass against Du Luxuan's beer bottle, took a sip, and put it down, but did not say anything.
Du Luxuan saw him put down his wine glass and lit a cigarette on the sofa. Memories of his youth lingered in his mind for a moment. He could not help but ask with a smile,"
"We haven't seen each other for years. When did you start smoking again?”
Ding Shaonan smiled and pushed the cigarette box to Du Luxuan. He glanced at the two people who were still mumbling " ah ah " and " boo boo " to him, and slowly answered with a deep meaning,"
"There are some things that you think you can quit, but in the end, you realize that it has long been poisoned and has become an addiction for a lifetime.”
Du Luxuan was silent for a moment. He had noticed that Ding Shaonan seemed to be very interested in watching Li Tong and Gu Qiqi play drinking games. At this time, Gu Qiqi was in a dilemma and kept making mistakes. Du Luxuan interrupted them with a smile and introduced them,"
"Li Tong, Xiao Gu, this is Ding Shaonan. We grew up in the same compound when we were young. We separated after I went to America to study.”
Li Tong had already clinked glasses with Ding Shaonan as Du Luxuan introduced them to each other. Gu Qiqi, on the other hand, just held her glass tightly and sat silently by the side, listening to the three men talk. Ding Shaonan ordered another bottle of Martini and took a straight glass. He suddenly turned to her and said,"
"Miss Gu is good at drinking games. Let's play a few rounds. Let's call it dice. The winning rate is two-fold. Everyone is fair.”
Gu Qiqi was stunned for a moment and looked at Ding Shaonan hesitantly. Li Tong didn't notice Gu Qiqi's expression and had already made way for her. Du Luxuan looked at the wine glass and hurriedly said,""Shaonan, Xiao Gu's alcohol tolerance is shallow. Don't force her.”
Ding Shaonan looked at Gu Qiqi with a slightly cold expression in his starry eyes and replied,""Oh? Du Luxuan, you must have gotten the wrong girl this time.”
Gu Qiqi lowered her eyes, then took the bottle from Ding Shaonan's hands indifferently. She poured a glass that was 80% full and smiled at Du Luxuan.
"President Du, as long as it's not vodka, you might not be able to drink better than me.”
As he spoke, he took the color cup and shook it a few times before stopping. He opened the color cup slightly and glanced at the number of six dice. The base number was two 2 points, two dice that could match any number, one 3 point, and one 5 point. After thinking for a while, he began to call out the number:
"Three 2s."
Ding Shaonan smiled and skillfully shook the dice cup. His movements were fast but not hurried. The dice rolled in the cup and made a pleasant sound. He suddenly slammed the dice on the table and looked at Gu Qiqi with an aggressive and domineering expression. However, he did not open the cup to watch. He directly called out another number.
"Four sixes."
Du Luxuan couldn't help but glance at Ding Shaonan. Not following the starting number was also a form of interference. However, he did not even look at the base number and directly called out four sixes. This left little room for both sides. However, if Gu Qiqi's hand was suitable, as long as she followed up, it would increase her chances of winning.
Gu Qiqi stared at him and stopped shouting. She opened the cup and said,"
"Open. I don't believe it."
Ding Shaonan had already seen the two rascals at the bottom of her cup. He smiled lightly, his expression turned serious, and asked her in a quiet voice,"
"Oh? If you don't believe me so soon, you're probably going to lose.”
Gu Qiqi lowered her eyes and said," I'm sorry. I can't cheat. You can open it."”
Ding Shaonan slowly moved the color cup away. There was only one 6 at the bottom of the cup, but there were also two shameless ones. Li Tong leaned over and looked at their cards. He said to Gu Qiqi with a regretful expression,
"Aiya! Xiao Gu, is this your standard? You already have two rascals in your hands. No matter what, you have to shout again!”
Gu Qiqi didn't answer. She just poured the wine in front of her without changing her expression, which made Li Tong marvel.
Ding Shaonan glanced at the empty cup and pursed his lips slightly. His hand had already picked up the lecherous cup again.
Coincidentally, Li Tong was called away by a phone call. Du Luxuan saw Li Tong off, and when he came back, he noticed that something was wrong. Before the winner could be determined, Gu Qiqi raised her head and poured herself a glass of wine. When the bottle of Martini was about to be emptied, Ding Shaonan suddenly grabbed Gu Qiqi's wrist that was already raised to her mouth. He said angrily with a livid face,"
"What do you want? Is it interesting for you to act tough like this?"
Gu Qiqi seemed to be at a loss for a moment when she heard this. Her eyes gradually blurred, and the corners of her mouth curled up as she replied,"Heh, I admit defeat. I'll drink…"
Ding Shaonan was really angry, and his patience seemed to have reached its limit. Even the blood vessels around his temples were throbbing. Suddenly, he violently snatched the wine glass from her hand and threw it on the table. He pointed at Gu Qiqi with a trembling finger."Don't let me see you drinking again!"
Gu Qiqi only lowered her head and did not look at him. Her back was stiff. Du Luxuan looked thoughtfully at Ding Shaonan, who was leaving in a rage. He seemed to have suddenly recalled something, and his brows furrowed. He ordered a cup of warm lemon water and gently placed it beside her hand. He said gently,
"Drink up quickly. I'll send you back."
Gu Qiqi obediently picked up the cup and lowered her eyes to take a sip. When she got up, she still swayed slightly. She placed her hand on the edge of the table and looked at Du Luxuan's arm that was extended to her. She shook her head and slowly followed him out the door. Along the way, neither of them spoke. Gu Qiqi leaned her head against the window and was in a daze. It wasn't until Du Luxuan stopped the car that she realized what was going on. She turned to Du Luxuan, who was looking sideways at her, and said softly," Thank you."
Du Luxuan's lips curled up slightly. He got out of the car and opened the car door for her, handing her his hand. Gu Qiqi gently shook his hand and leaned out of the car. Du Luxuan did not immediately let go. He exerted a little force and pulled her into his chest. The clean scent of a man enveloped Gu Qiqi.
Gu Qiqi raised her head in confusion and met Du Luxuan's deep black eyes. The next moment, his warm and soft lips were pressed against hers, with a faint taste of beer. However, the tip of his tongue only gently brushed against the corner of her lips. Gu Qiqi was stunned, but she could already feel that he was not really going to do anything. She immediately turned her face away, panted lightly, and whispered,"
"President Du, we're all a little drunk. Be careful when you go back."
Du Luxuan looked at her lowered head and smiled faintly. He let go of her gently and said to her in a gentle voice,""Yes, I am. Treat yourself better." He leaned against the car and watched her enter the building before returning to the car. He quietly glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black car that was not eye-catching turning around and speeding away.
