A mobile phone was quietly placed on the Nordic-style marble circular slate, and news came from time to time. A slight vibration rang in the silent living room for a long time, making it seem a bit noisy.
A man came out of the bathroom, pressed the mute button with his articulated hand, glanced at the news, then took out his clothes from the closet and put on his clothes. And meticulous.
He straightened his messy hair in front of the mirror, his face was expressionless, and his air was detached. Can't see any emotions that belong to human beings.
Yu Xi just came back from the movie theater, walked swayingly on high heels, walked across the aisle, and was about to take out the key to open the door, only to hear a click, her neighbor who hadn't been out for more than half a month unexpectedly came out.
"Oh, strange," Yu Xi paused, tilted her head slightly, swayed the key around her slender fingertips, and looked at him up and down, "Gu Lai, where are you going to wear such a formal dress at night? Date? ?"
"No, at a college party."
The man seemed to be cold, but his words were unexpectedly gentle, with a straight-forward seriousness.
Yu Xi immediately became interested when she heard the words. She always liked to join in the fun: "It's true or false, we are obviously in the same university, why didn't I know there was a party, you can take me there."
They are all classmates, so there should be no problem.
Gu Lai thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
Yu Xi was even more happy, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Enough loyalty, although you broke your brain in the hospital some time ago, but don't worry, sister is covering you!"
The two entered the elevator together. The diamond-shaped frosted mirror used for decoration blurred their faces. Yu Xi leaned against the handrail and took out an air cushion to touch up her makeup. Seeing Gu Lai standing aside, her face was brightly lit. The light is dim, like...
Like an emotionless robot.
Yu Xi couldn't help but speak up, looking for something to talk about: "Gu Lai, you really don't remember anything?"
Hearing this, Gu Lai turned to look at her slightly, showing that he was listening, his etiquette was impeccable, and he answered earnestly, "Yeah."
Yu Xi felt that he had changed a lot, not good or bad, and said casually: "It's alright, it's a concussion, I can't remember it's normal, it'll be fine after a while, by the way, have you found a new job?"
She and Gu Lai were college classmates, but they had different majors. After graduation, they happened to live in the same community, and they were neighbors. Some time ago, Gu Lai found a partner to do business with, and was defrauded of a lot of money. When he was fighting with someone, he accidentally fell from the upstairs, his brain was broken, and he didn't know anyone.
Be grateful for the care of others.
Gu Lai heard the words, and his light-colored pupils smiled: "Thank you, I have found it."
Yu Xi's heartbeat quickened a little bit by this smile, she brushed the cold brown curly hair on her shoulders, then rolled her eyes and said, "You don't like girls, just flirt with boys, don't flirt with me."
The two of them were "influential figures" in the university, famous scumbags and scumbags, and the school grass with the highest number of Z, half of them were folded in Gu Lai's hands, and half in Yu Xi's hands, and they were all finished playing. The kind that kicks, can be called the scum of the world.
Yu Xi didn't know that Gu Lai Nei Li had already changed the core, but he just thought that he was better at pretending. He smiled charmingly and said, "Handsome guy, I don't have a car, don't you mind letting me rub it?"
"Yes, we should help each other."
Gu Lai's car is not expensive, it is about 100,000 yuan. It has been left unused for a long time and some dust has accumulated in the garage. He used to have a Bentley, but the business failed and he took it to someone else to pay off his debt.
Yu Xi sat in the co-pilot, crossed Erlang's legs, and lived up to the name of a scumbag: "You used to be high-spirited and unwilling to work for others, but this day is too sloppy, find someone to take advantage of you as soon as possible, and your life can be relaxed, right? "
"fasten your seatbelt."
Gu Lai didn't answer her words and started the car. The speed was gentle and he could not feel the slightest bump. He seemed to be able to accurately predict the road conditions.
Yu Xi supported her chin and said, "Whoever started the party has graduated for so many years. I don't even remember who it was, and I don't know if there are any handsome guys."
Gu Lai couldn't answer this question. He didn't inherit the memory of his original body. The lights from the outside were refracted through the glass, making his dark eyes a little more lustrous.
I don't know who initiated this class reunion. It is located in a Qing bar, which is considered to be a high-end consumption place in the urban area. Ninety-nine percent of the parking spaces outside are luxury cars. Started to be around the corner: "Wow, what should I do, I want to find a boyfriend."
Gu Lai got out of the car, walked to the side, opened the door for her very gentlemanly, and reminded her seriously, "You just talked about it five days ago."
"It's early, let's go, which box?"
Yu Xi spread her hands needlessly and wanted to hold Gu Lai's arm, but she was gently avoided by the latter. She raised her eyebrows slightly and became interested: "Why?"
Gu Lai explained seriously: "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend."
When the system was a human for the first time, he didn't quite understand the rules of this world, but he vaguely knew that this was not good.
Yu Xi was overjoyed: "Yo, is it good?"
Walking into the bar, a waiter immediately stepped forward. Gu looked at the party information on his mobile phone, reported a box number, and was led to the second floor.
The waiter bowed and opened the door for him: "If you need anything, you can ring the bell."
"thanks."
The box is air-conditioned and very cool. The leather sofas are arranged in a ring. The design style is very bold black and blue contrasting colors. The lights inside have been dimmed by three degrees. Some people have already arrived. They are all handsome guys with good looks and are really eye-catching. They sit quietly and do not disturb each other, but Gu Lai's entry seems to break the peace.
The moment the door opened, everyone looked up subconsciously, and when they found out that it was Gu Lai standing outside the door, their sight changed a little, and the momentary silence of the needle could be heard.
In the middle sat a man in a suit and leather shoes. He was bored and flipped the silver lighter in his hand with an unpredictable expression. After a while, he chuckled and broke the silence: "Yo, rare guest."
The ending was full of sarcasm.
Yu Xi glanced at the expensive diamond watch on his wrist, looked at his face again, and finally rubbed Gu Lai, who was behind him, and whispered, "Hey, hey, Nie Suichuan, your ex."
She always has a good memory for handsome guys.
Hearing this, Gu Lai walked to the corner sofa and sat down, with a calm expression, and asked Yu Xi in a low voice, "What do I need to do when I see my ex?"
His tone was so serious that Yu Xi couldn't even think that he was joking. Looking at Gu Lai's rigorous and asking for advice, Yu Xi said sincerely, "You don't have to do anything, keep maintaining the current good attitude, don't mess with them."
From the moment he stepped into this door, Yu Xi knew that he was in the wrong place. This was a class reunion, and it was clearly his predecessor's meeting.
Gu Lai always felt that Nie Suichuan was staring at him all the time: "Should I apologize to him?"
"Don't," Yu Xi held him down, "Did you forget that he was sent to the hospital when you broke up, don't go up."
"… good."
Gu Lai sat quietly for a while, then looked at the fruit plate on the table. On the beautiful glass plate were slices of watermelon cut into the shape of a rabbit. The flesh was bright red and looked very sweet. There were several bottles of unknown foreign wine next to it. Magnificent.
The system has no sense of taste before, and has never eaten watermelon.
Gu Lai stared at the fruit bowl for a long time, and found that no one moved. Finally, he hesitantly reached out, took a piece of watermelon, studied it for a while, and took a tentative bite.
The rustling, sweet, never tasted taste.
Human food is delicious.
Gu Lai took a sip, took another bite, and then chewed slowly. A small piece of watermelon felt like a feast of French food. After he finished eating, he carefully wiped his hands with a tissue, and when he looked for the trash can, he found Not far away, a man was looking at him.
With a delicate face, pale skin, big eyes, and a timid expression, Gu Lai looked weak and deceitful. Gu Lai didn't remember who he was, but in a friendly manner, he handed over a piece of watermelon and asked, "Do you want to eat it? "
Unexpectedly, this action made the other party's eyes red, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and the eyes gradually became misty, and it looked like he was about to cry.
Yu Xi was browsing the Moments just now, when she looked up and saw this scene, she quickly pulled Gu Lai away, and said in a low voice, "I told you not to go up, it's not like you don't know Yang Mian's brain is ill, Tian Tian is a ghost. Stick with you behind your butt, except cry, cry, and you won't be able to shake it off when the time comes."
Gu Lai's brown pupils were a little dazed.
It was only then that Yu Xi remembered that his brain was broken, and he helped his forehead: "Who started this party? It's clear that it's not against you. I'll go first, take care of yourself."
After speaking, he patted his shoulder, grabbed his bag and hurried away.
Gu Lai didn't move. Socializing is an essential activity for human beings. Now that he is a human, he must learn to adapt, so he continued to eat melons. Seeing this, Yang Mian had a complicated expression and nervously pinched the corner of his clothes, "Alai, I heard that. You were hospitalized some time ago, how are you?"
Gu Lai smiled and said, "Thank you, it's alright."
Yang Mian wanted to say more, but Nie Suichuan looked over and said meaningfully, "Good horses don't eat back, I heard that you are an associate professor at Z University, and you have such a soft temper, how do you manage students."
Because of Nie Suichuan's words, the topic unknowingly turned to everyone's current work. Some of them founded game companies, some were software developers, Yang Mian returned from studying abroad and became a professor at his alma mater. As for Nie Suichuan, he is the current president of Tianqi Group. .
While the others were chatting in a low voice, only Gu Lai remained silent, all his enthusiasm seemed to be poured into the fruit plate on the table.
The lights were bright, and a man sitting in the corner hid most of his body in the darkness. He was wearing a white turtleneck casual shirt and a thin silver chain around his neck. He looked young and held a A glass of wine, the liquid is dark red, and the white fingertips are covered with a layer of light and shadow of the same color.
"And you?"
The man raised his head with a deep smile on his lips,
"Gu Lai, what are you doing now?"
Gu Lai raised his eyes subconsciously and looked at him: "Me?"
The man closed his eyes and nodded, and a layer of dark blue light and shadow fell on his shoulders, mysterious and unpredictable.
Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Lai smoothed the folds of his cuffs and said seriously, "Do you know the development zone of Huangyi Impression?"
The man raised his eyebrows with interest: "Doing real estate business?"
Gu Lai: "No, I'm moving bricks at a nearby construction site."
