Chapter 593: The Main Lead of the Birthday Banquet

But this wasn’t a good place to take a breather either.

Sometimes Gu Qingjiu couldn’t understand He Niancheng’s thinking.

Since she couldn’t understand, she decided to leave it at that for now simply. =.=

“But is it inconvenient for me to be here? I don’t know your friends.”

Gu Qingjiu worried if she would drag down He Niancheng’s cla.s.s.

He set down the red wine gla.s.s. “It’s fine. You can just look around. It doesn’t waste much time. Do you need to return to school in the afternoon?”

Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment at the sudden question, then nodded.

“Mm.”

Thankfully, He Niancheng didn’t ask her about what happened yesterday.

He didn’t even seem to mind the fact that she didn’t reply to his message for an entire night.

Gu Qingjiu felt both uneasy and relieved regarding this.

She felt conflicted, not sure what He Niancheng was thinking inside.

“Do you want to try this?”

He raised his wine gla.s.s, and his lips arched devilishly.

Gu Qingjiu, who was confused momentarily, nodded. “Sure.”

It seemed like most people could drink red wine, and Gu Qingjiu quite wished to try it too.

She had thought that He Niancheng would pour her a cup.

But then, He Niancheng suddenly drank a mouthful, then set down the gla.s.s, before pinning a hand against the back of her head.

His aggressive aura shocked Gu Qingjiu momentarily, making her forget to put up a resistance. With her eyes widened, she saw his cold lips press against hers.

A mouthful of red wine flowed into her mouth, carrying with it a sweet fragrance and an alluring and refres.h.i.+ng scent of alcohol.

She didn’t know what brand this red wine was. Apart from thinking that it tasted pretty good, He Niancheng’s actions made her feel bashful.

Never mind a kiss, had they evolved to this stage now?

Only until Gu Qingjiu swallowed that mouthful of red wine completely did he retract his hand in satisfaction.

However, when he parted from her, his tongue still wickedly licked her lips.

The lick made her s.h.i.+ver.

It was foul play!

Gu Qingjiu gulped down the red wine and let out two coughs.

After all, it was alcohol, so it felt spicy on the throat.

She hadn’t felt so while she was drinking it, but after she had gulped it down, the after-effects were quite vigorous.

He Niancheng patted her twice on her back. “Does it taste good?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

How was she to answer this!?

He let out a silent chuckle at seeing Gu Qingjiu’s response.

After keeping the red wine gla.s.s away, he glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch and said, “Let’s go. It’s about time. Let’s go out first. I’ll send you back to school at night.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. She went over and held his hand, then said, “Okay.”

When Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng reappeared in the hall, a silence fell over the hall once more.

But this time, Gu Qingjiu saw an eye-catching figure in the center of the hall.

How to put it? He was a man with striking looks, and he also exuded celestial airs.

One look and you can tell he was different from ordinary mortals.

Gu Qingjiu gazed at him for a moment too long, and He Niancheng noticed that. The latter stared at her.

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She quickly retracted her gaze.

But she could sense that the man, who was like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, cast his gaze upon He Niancheng through the crowd.

When he saw him and Gu Qingjiu appear, there was an interest in his eyes other than shock.
