    ☆、Chapter 52 Accident

    The place where the two of them were sitting was quite out of the way. Generally speaking, it wouldn't attract much attention, but Gu Xu was sitting here, so it was another matter. weakening trend. Therefore, when Xia Zichen saw Shen Yicheng, Shen Yicheng also turned his head and looked over, just looking at Xia Zichen.

    Although the two of them were a little unhappy because of Concubine Lian's affair, when they met here, Xia Zichen nodded politely, and could not be regarded as not knowing each other. After a flash of surprise, Shen Yicheng didn't express much, and he didn't seem to be planning to get involved with Xia Zichen.

    It is understandable to think about it. In this circle, especially the younger generation, it is not a big deal to have a male lover by your side, but not everyone will do this with a male lover to such a party. After all, homosexuality is still taboo, especially in such a shopping mall where marriages are frequent, it’s okay to play in private, and it’s also your own reputation that is really put on the table.

    Gu Xu brought Xia Zichen here, but Shen Yicheng didn't expect it at all. Although he had seen Gu Xu bring Xia Zichen to dinner with Gu Yan before, he didn't feel how much Gu Yan liked Xia Zichen during the dinner. He felt like he treated his brother like an ordinary friend, so he didn't put Xia Zichen in the picture. In the ranks of the Gu family, even though Gu Xu was dating Xia Zichen now, he still felt that the last two would still be separated.

    Xia Zichen appeared here today without any hesitation. Shen Yicheng was not prepared to have more contact with Xia Zichen before he knew the situation. Besides, he was here with his father today, and he couldn't lower his worth.

    Xia Zichen has always been a very sensitive person, especially when it comes to the attitude of others towards him. Although Shen Yicheng's actions were not obvious, he still felt the alienation that he didn't want to admit that the two knew each other. In this regard, Xia Zichen didn't feel any sadness, on the contrary, it felt a little ridiculous. The so-called friends were nothing more than that.

    Feeling Xia Zichen's emotions, Gu Xu shook his hand and handed a piece to his mouth, "Eat."

    Xia Zichen took a bite and said, "I'm full, so I don't want to eat." He really ate a lot today, and the chef Gu Yan invited was really good, and the food was exquisite but not flashy and unpleasant.

    "Well." Gu Xu ate the remaining half and whispered: "Don't care about those irrelevant people, waste your time."

    "I don't care." Xia Zichen smiled and said, "I just feel a little hypocritical."

    "If you stay with me, there will be a lot of parties like this in the future. If you don't like me, I won't take you there." These entertainments were already accustomed to them, but Xia Zichen's life had always been simple, and he suddenly let him Joining this complex interpersonal interaction, it is natural to not adapt or dislike it.

    Xia Zichen thought for a while and said, "If necessary, I can accompany you. Anyway, I can sit and eat."

    Gu Xu smiled and said, "When did you become a snack foodie? Let Luo Ji break it."

    In the past, Xia Zichen didn't have any special hobbies for eating, but since he was with Gu Xu, Gu Xu always brought some things he had never eaten for him to taste, and Luo Ji liked it when he had something to do. Tell Xia Zichen where the food is delicious on the Internet. Gradually, Xia Zichen began to study a little bit about eating. In fact, food can also make people feel better.

    "Don't talk about Luo Ji, you are also responsible." Xia Zichen accused jokingly.

    "Yeah." Gu Xu didn't deny it, "I don't object to what you eat, but you should grow some meat anyway, which is worthy of what you eat."

    Xia Zichen gave a "cut", anyway, he has this kind of physique, and he can't help it when he was a child.

    The time passed nine o’clock, and the guests who were supposed to arrive also arrived one after another. Everyone stood in groups of three and five and chatted. There were also several pairs of young people dancing to the music on the dance floor in the middle. The atmosphere was very harmonious and could not be seen at all. Usually the intrigues in the shopping mall compete with you.

    After socializing for a while, Gu Yan walked over, "How is it? Does it still suit your appetite?"

    Xia Zichen raised his head and smiled, "Well, that's pretty good."

    "That's good." Gu Yan sat on the right side of Xia Zichen and said to the assistant on the side, "Let the bar prepare two glasses of fruit wine."

    Knowing that his younger brother wasn't interested in fruit wine, Gu Yan didn't call for him. He also drank a lot of wine after socializing himself, and now he just wants to drink something light.

    The assistant nodded, turned and walked towards the bar.

    "Sit down first, I'll go to the bathroom." Gu Xu stood up, and with Gu Yan here, he didn't have to worry about leaving Xia Zichen here alone.

    After Gu Xu left, Gu Yan asked, "How is it? How are you getting along with Xiao Xu recently?"

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen smiled and nodded.

    "Xiao Xu said that she wants to move out with you after school starts. Our family doesn't have a house in your school. If I rent it, I always feel that it is not stable enough. Some things depend on the landlord's opinion." Gu Yan said: "So my point of view is still direct. Buy a set, and if you can’t live in it in the future, at least you still have to study in school for two years, so buying a set is not a waste.”

    Xia Zichen pursed his lips hesitantly. He didn't think about buying a house. After all, buying a house is not cheap. He didn't want Gu Xu to spend money on it.

    "Of course, you don't need to worry about this matter, Xiaoxu will handle it. But the younger brother has to make a decision. I, the elder brother, have to express it, otherwise I always feel that I am not sincere enough to take care of the family." Gu Xu has been inquiring these days. The corner of Gu Yan's mouth slightly raised his lips, "I also asked the secretary to do a few real estate listings in the past few days. There is a newly built community two stops away from your school. The location is good. When you see the sea, what do you think?"

    When it comes to this community, Xia Zichen knows it. Sometimes when he is driving home, he will pass the newly built building. The house is beautifully built. There are only three small high-rise buildings in a community, and the environment looks good.

    "The housing price in that community is very high." Xia Zichen had seen the electronic billboards hanging in the community during the pre-sale. At least Xia Zichen would never think about that price in his life.

    "It's okay." Gu Yan said nonchalantly: "Out of the community, there is a subway station, and there are also buses. It's very convenient for you to go to school. Xiaoxu can drive to work quickly, and it's not easy to get stuck there."

    Xia Zichen nodded, thinking that coming to that place was indeed convenient for both of them, and there was no need to go around in circles.

    Just as he was talking, the assistant brought over two glasses of prepared fruit wine, and then walked a little farther wisely, without disturbing the conversation between the two.

    Seeing him nodding, Gu Yan smiled and scooped out a bunch of keys and two door cards from his suit pocket, and handed them to Xia Zichen, "This is a little thought from eldest brother, things haven't been added yet, you two can decide. "

    Xia Zichen was stunned for a while, watching Gu Yan put the things in his hands at a loss, "I..."

    Gu Yan picked up the cup, lightly touched Xia Zichen's, and said, "My brother will be handed over to you from now on, call me anytime if you have anything."

    Xia Zichen tightened his hand scooping the cup. Since he was with Gu Xu, his emotional affairs seemed to go very smoothly, and sometimes he couldn't even believe it himself.

    Seeing that he was still in a daze, Gu Yan smiled and patted his shoulder. At this time, the assistant on one side pointed to the other side of the venue, indicating that someone wanted to talk to Gu Yan.

    "I'll go over first, this wine is good, you can try it." Gu Yan took a sip and felt that he had indeed invited the right bartender today.

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip. The taste is very light, suitable for people like him who can't drink.

    Gu Yan said nothing, got up and walked towards the assistant.

    Xia Zichen drank the wine in the glass and bottomed out after a few sips.

    Gu Xu, who came back from the bathroom, took the cup from Xia Zichen's hand, and said with some humor, "Even if the taste is mild, you can't drink it like this."

    Xia Zichen licked the corner of his mouth and said a little embarrassedly, "It tastes good."

    Gu Xu shook his head helplessly, and scooped two glasses of champagne from the waiter who was walking around.

    "This..." Xia Zichen put the key and door card in his hand to Gu Xu, "Brother gave it."

    Gu Xu took it over and glanced at the address on the door card to understand. Gu Yan's kindness, he naturally will not refuse, and his eldest brother has never liked his family to refuse. He prepared the house, even if he agreed with Xia Zichen, it was a good thing for him.

    "Since eldest brother gave it, we'll go see what needs to be added in two days." Gu Xu naturally put the room card and key into Xia Zichen's bag.

    "it is good."

    Gu Yanlai sat for a while and said a few words with Xia Zichen, which seemed nothing to Xia Zichen, but it attracted the eyes of more people present.

    Xia Zichen didn't care too much, and still chatted with Gu Xu on his own, but he didn't know if it was because of drinking. He felt a little hot, but his head didn't hurt, and he didn't feel dizzy.

    "What's wrong?" Gu Xu asked, looking at Xia Zichen, who was a little off.

    "It's nothing, it's a little hot." Xia Zichen gave him a reassuring smile, "I'll go wash my face."

    "Yeah." Gu Xu responded, looking suspiciously at Xia Zichen who walked away. The air conditioner in the banquet hall was fully turned on, and he didn't feel hot. How could Xia Zichen suddenly feel hot? Even if you drink alcohol, your face is red and hot at most, and you won't sweat...

    Xia Zichen walked into the bathroom and washed a few times with cold water. The heat on his face dropped a lot, but the dryness on his body did not improve. Frowning, Xia Zichen turned off the water, and wiped off the water on his face with a piece of paper.

    After just wiping it a few times, the heat on my face came back, as if it was hotter than before. Xia Zichen supported the sink with one hand. Although he didn't usually drink alcohol, it wasn't enough for a cup. Besides, the wine was so light, it shouldn't be a problem. And he is not sleepy now, and his consciousness is very clear. He should not be drunk...

    Just thinking about it, Xia Zichen was startled by the change under him, and he actually had a reaction there...

    Xia Zichen, who didn't react at all, was stunned, not knowing what to do. Although it wasn't so obvious, he was completely out of his control.

    At this time, the door of the bathroom was pushed open from the outside, Shen Yicheng walked in, saw Xia Zichen who was stunned there, and asked inexplicably, "What's the matter with you?"

    Xia Zichen immediately came back to his senses, turned sideways and forced a smile, and said, "It's okay, maybe I drank a little too much."

    Shen Yicheng looked at him, except that his face was very red, he didn't find anything wrong, so he continued: "I didn't expect to meet you here today."

    "Yeah." Xia Zichen didn't have the heart to talk to him, he just wanted to find Gu Xu quickly. This is the first time since they dated that he was so eager for Gu Xu to appear, as if as long as Gu Xu appeared, he didn't need to worry about anything...

    "Gu Yan seems to be very nice to you..." Shen Yicheng observed Xia Zichen's expression, and just now he saw Gu Yan talking to Xia Zichen, the atmosphere was very good, just like a family.

    "Hmm..." Before Xia Zichen could finish speaking, a wave of heat surged under him, making Xia Zichen almost scream. Even if he is innocent now, he vaguely knows what happened to him. And all he has to do is to leave here and find Gu Xu.

    "Which day are you free? I'll invite you to dinner." Shen Yicheng said, "We haven't seen each other since the holiday. I'm not busy these days, so I just happened to get together."

    Xia Zichen lowered his head slightly and whispered, "We'll talk about it later..."

    No matter how careless Shen Yicheng is, he can still hear Xia Zichen's voice trembling, reaching out to help him, "What's the matter with you?"

    "It's okay." Xia Zichen barely avoided Shen Yicheng's outstretched hand, "I'll go first..."

    Before he finished speaking, the door of the bathroom was pushed open again, and Gu Xu walked over quickly.

    Seeing Gu Xu, Xia Zichen breathed a sigh of relief.

    Gu Xu didn't say anything, just hugged Xia Zichen directly. Xia Zichen slammed into Gu Xu with some weakness, and the place where his lower body reacted hit Gu Xu's leg, causing him to tighten his grip on Gu Xu's arm instantly, suppressing the groan that almost overflowed his mouth.

    Gu Xu froze for a moment, patted his shoulder lightly, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay..."

    Xia Zichen nodded lightly and said nothing.

    Gu Xu didn't stop there, and took Xia Zichen out of the bathroom, leaving Shen Yicheng's back suddenly aware of it...
