Chapter 223 Face-to-face

At four o'clock in the afternoon, members attending the offline gathering had arrived at the club one after another.

The leader of the group, Fei Dou, also appeared.His real name is Chen Feidu. Although he is unremarkable on the Internet, he is actually a well-rounded person in real life.He is in his mid-twenties and has a naturally smiling face. He is the kind of handsome guy who can easily disarm people.

He was holding a glass of wine in his hand and chatting happily with the group members who were familiar or unfamiliar, met or not seen.Finally, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a person approaching, and I immediately greeted him: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Qiao, a rare visitor."

This greeting always came out of his mouth with a hint of a dog's mouth unable to spit out ivory.

Josnian just came over from the conference table.He is wearing a suit and has a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks elegant and calm, and can easily be classified as an elite person.

He has a sense of experience accumulated over time, mature and steady, and is different from those young people who are flamboyant.People can tell at a glance that... well... he is no longer a young man.

Josnian looked around, even though he knew Qin Ye would not come.He asked Chen Feidu: "Where is my seat?"

This private club is divided into several hall areas, with a long buffet table next to it, and the positions have been reserved in advance.Chen Feidu raised his eyebrows and led Josnian to the round table on the right.Most of the people sitting there are members of the internal group, oh, and of course there are a few people sitting there who are trying to fish in troubled waters——

For example, Qi Bai.

He often takes photos in the space. Although there is a slight difference between the real person and the refined photos, they are still roughly the same, and he is much more handsome than ordinary passers-by.At this moment, he was sitting there talking about something, surrounded by a bunch of zeros, and the stars holding the moon could only do this.

Josnian looked away after one glance and chose a seat by the window.

Chen Feidu secretly nudged him with his arm, lowered his voice and gloated: "Hey, he is a lively and handsome guy after all. He invited you to do CP last time, but you didn't agree. What a pity."

Anyway, regardless of his sincerity, in his opinion, as long as you are handsome, you will earn money from whoring.

Josnian said subconsciously: "I have CP."

"Who?" Chen Feidu shook the wine glass in his hand and asked with a half-smile: "Your partner who won't show up even after beating him to death? Have you repaid the money he lent you?"

After hearing this, Josnian was about to speak when he saw a person suddenly walking over from the other side. It was Qi Bai.The other party is obviously very popular. He is surrounded by a crowd of followers wherever he goes. He is even more popular than Kaimang before.

Qi Bai walked up to Chen Feidu, smiled and shook hands with the most recognizable group leader: "Group leader, you are much more handsome than I thought."

Chen Feidu is a good talker, and his words are humorous. He announced his name: "Chen Feidu. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Handsome guy, you are even more handsome in person than in the photos."

Qi Bai smiled when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Josnian again. He looked gentle and polite, and asked hesitantly: "Are you...Josnian?"

Seeing this, Chen Feidu raised his eyebrows secretly and stood aside to watch the excitement.He thought to himself that he didn't even say his online name, but his real name as soon as he spoke it. Could it be that Qi Bai had found out all the eighteen generations of Josnian's ancestors?

Josnian stood up politely, making it hard for anyone to fault him: "Hello."

Qi Bai came over as if to apologize: "I'm Qi Bai. I was really embarrassed in the group last time. I didn't know you had CP. I hope it didn't cause any trouble to you and Zero."

Zero is Qin Ye’s online name, a round zero.He rounded it up and interpreted it as a mushy bean.

Josnian: "It's okay, he won't mind."

Qi Bai glanced at him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and asked in confusion: "Didn't zero come with you?"

Everyone here who has CPs is not in a pair. The CP pair of Josnian and Qin Ye are already recognized by many people. After all, the real owner has personally stamped their seal.

Josnian would not ask about other people's privacy, and of course he didn't like others asking about his own. He said succinctly: "He had something urgent at home, so he didn't have time to come."

Qi Bai said subtly, smiled, and didn't ask again: "That's quite a coincidence."

The pairing of Qin Ye and Josnian is actually a bit awkward.One is an old man who has been quietly diving in the group for many years, and the other is a newcomer who has just joined the group.Before their announcement, there was no sign of showing affection, which inevitably made people think too much.

Someone asked with concern: "Have you met Zero? Don't be fooled. Li Cha was tricked into the hospital by that scumbag Kaimang before. You must be careful."

The administrator Tagi was also present. He was very grateful to Qin Ye for helping Li Cha recover the money. He frowned and couldn't help but help him: "I think Zero is a nice person, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Li Cha last time. Maybe my familyI really didn’t come if there was something urgent.”

"Last time, he said that he might not be able to come due to work arrangements. I don't know if he was telling the truth or a lie. Even the photos were found online." A member of an internal group accidentally let the news slip.

When Chen Feidu heard this, he subconsciously stood up straight and quickly signaled the other party to shut up with his eyes.Although Qin Ye was right to lie, he just complained among the group, and everyone just tacitly understood it.

Now that everyone is out of cyberspace and standing together face to face, naturally we cannot speak as casually as online.Otherwise, the embarrassment would prevent Josnian from coming to power.

However, Chen Feidu was still a step too late.As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help but start talking. Qi Bai also expressed surprise: "What, Zero scrapes pictures from the Internet? Why would he do this?"

"Oh my God, Zero's picture was taken from the Internet? Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, the group leader has discovered it."

"I guess she doesn't look very good, so I'll use the pictures online to deceive people."

"No wonder I don't dare to come to offline gatherings. It turns out I'm afraid of dying in public."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Chen Feidu was about to ask them to be quiet when he saw Josnian suddenly pull out his chair and stand up, said "Excuse me", then turned and left the hall.

Chen Feidu slapped his forehead with a headache and said to everyone: "Brothers, I'm just telling you nonsense. Why do you still take it seriously? Don't mention this topic again."

Yuba made a please gesture and then hurriedly chased after him.

Before Josnian could walk far, he was grabbed by Chen Feidu after he had only taken two steps: "Hey, Mr. Qiao, don't be angry."

Josnian couldn't say he was angry, but he just didn't like those people speculating on Qin Ye's behavior.He didn't feel happy staying inside, so he simply came out to get some air and said to Chen Feidu: "I'm not angry, I just went to the bathroom."

Chen Feidu let go of him: "Tsk, don't pay attention to those coquettish bitches. Haven't you seen it yet? It's all Qi Bai who is there to stir up trouble."

Josnian didn't know much about the current situation in the group: "Why?"

Chen Feidu spread his hands: "Maybe Qin Ye made it impossible for him to get off stage last time."

Josnian thought that was the case, so he said nothing and turned to go to the bathroom.When he came out, he did not go back to the meeting hall immediately. Instead, he stood in the corridor and sent a message to Qin Ye: "Is Auntie feeling better?"

He asks this question every day, and he cares more about it than Qin Ye.

Qin Ye was stuck on the elevated road at this time and was moving at a very fast speed with the traffic flow.He was a little anxious because of the congested road. He heard his phone vibrating and opened it. Unsurprisingly, it was Josnian's news.

Qin Ye looked at the time and found that the party had already started twenty minutes ago.He sighed, thinking that if he had known earlier, he would not have to use Wu Sen's car, and could ride a shared bicycle there by himself: "It's much better. Has the party started yet? How was the fun?"

Josnian replied ambiguously in two words: "It's okay."

The road ahead finally cleared a little.

Qin Ye asked him: "Aren't you having fun?"

He rarely saw Josnian express worry or anger.

Josnian thought to himself that it wasn't that he was unhappy, but... he couldn't quite tell what it felt like, it was a bit congested.He simply changed the subject: "When will you return to the city?"

He thought Qin Ye was still in the hospital in his hometown.

It was inconvenient for Qin Ye to type, so he could only use voice-to-text, and said with a smile: "I will go back in two days, and I will treat you to dinner then."

Josnian replied "Okay", feeling a little obedient for no reason.

Qin Ye put his phone to his mouth and sent a voice message: "It's fun. Tell me who bullies you and I'll go over and beat him."

He can definitely do this.

Josnian smiled and was about to reply when he saw another message from Qin Ye: "What are you wearing today?"

Josnian glanced at his clothes subconsciously. He seemed to wear suits and shirts all year round. He hesitated and typed a few words: "Blue suit."

Qin Ye was still wearing the clothes he used to record the MV, and he was also wearing a casual suit. He was happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's pretty good."

Josnian didn't know for a moment whether he was a compliment or a critic, so he chatted for a few more words before returning to the meeting hall.I don't know what Chen Feidu said. Those people who were speculating just now stopped talking about Qin Ye, and the atmosphere was actually quite pleasant.

Josnian sat in his seat without talking to anyone.I looked at my watch and planned to leave after sitting there for another half hour.

The administrator Tagi was next to him and whispered: "Ignore them, Zero is definitely not a liar."

Probably Qibai's style is too similar to Kaimang's, and Tagi doesn't have a good impression of him either.

Someone nearby heard his words and disagreed: "Why don't you even dare to show your face if you're not a liar? Mr. Qiao, have you seen Zero's face? Is it exactly the same as the picture he posted on the group?"

Josnian had never seen Qin Ye's face, so he couldn't answer.But he frowned slightly because of the other party's aggressiveness: "I said that he had a family emergency, so he couldn't attend the party."

"Who knows if it's an excuse."

The party had already started for twenty-five minutes, and everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, so the hall door was closed.Just when Josnian was about to say something, the hall door suddenly heard a moderate sound of the door lock turning, and then someone opened half of it, and a tall man walked in from the outside.

When everyone heard the noise, they subconsciously glanced at the door, but fell into silence.

Most of the people attending the offline party were old members, but no one had ever seen him.The other person is tall and tall, and his proportions are comparable to those of male models.His facial features are deep and handsome, and his temperament tends to be cold. When he is not talking, he looks unfriendly to strangers.However, because of this, it is even more eye-catching and makes people unable to look away.

The Zeros present almost exploded.

I don’t know who it was that whispered a curse word: “Damn it, it’s just right…”
