Qi Xi glanced at the time, thinking that he had an appointment with Gu Yan tomorrow and Sunday to rehearse the lines of the new script, and he didn't bother to waste any more time in the group to continue posting about "Gu Yan Daquan".
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but as soon as I thought of Gu Yan, Gu Yan's call came.
Qi Xi picked it up: "Hello?"
Gu Yan's voice was nice, and he simply stated: "I can't come to the rehearsal tomorrow."
Qi Xi was a little surprised: "Do you have something to do tomorrow? Then we won't see you tomorrow?" She thought for a while, "You go to your business first, rehearse and we can arrange the lunch break on next weekday and take time in the evening. The Lawyers Association There is no urging, there is no rush."
"Yeah." Gu Yan's voice was a little low, "There's something wrong, but we'll see each other tomorrow."
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, and then Gu Yan who was on the other end of the phone spoke again: "My sister has a client of a listed company, and the company's annual meeting will be held tomorrow night. My sister is their lawyer, so she was invited, but she There is a due diligence investigation tomorrow and I need to fly out of town to check the other company's materials, so I can't go to the annual meeting."
Having said that, Qi Xi also understood a bit: "So Lawyer Gu wants you to attend for her?"
"Well, generally speaking, as a cooperative law firm, competition and cooperation still need to send staff to participate." Gu Yan was quiet for a moment, and then continued, "Because this company has a good performance and a good prospect, every year the annual meeting is considered a big deal. Almost every person wins an award. We are invited as an external partner, and we will generally have rich prizes.”
Wouldn't it be good for Gu Yan to participate? Why did you show off to yourself
Qi Xi was a little puzzled: "Isn't that good?"
"En. But this year's company's annual meeting requires attendees to bring their companions, and the dress code is a formal or evening dress. The annual meeting should be a relatively high-end business reception."
When Gu Yan said this, he was quiet for a moment, and then Qi Xi heard his voice again——
"I don't have a female companion to take."
so…
Qi Xi didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid that she would make a mistake and be affectionate.
Until she got Gu Yan's definite answer.
He asked, "Can you come and be my girlfriend tomorrow?"
This is not too much of an invitation, the inviter was not even in front of Qi Xi, but just over the phone, Qi Xi shouldn't have been so nervous, but she just couldn't control the frequency of her heartbeat and the speed of her breathing, because of this Emotionally, she became a little sluggish, and she was so focused on digesting her nervousness that she even forgot to answer Gu Yan.
And because of Qi Xi's long silence, Gu Yan seemed a little irritable. He cleared his throat, as if talking to himself, and also as if persuading Qi Xi: "I even helped you pretend to be your boyfriend on your blind date before. You also said that you want to reciprocate, you can help me pretend to be my girlfriend in the future, I don't have as many blind dates as you, so there is no need for you to pretend to be a girlfriend, now I just need you to attend as a female companion, why do you want to shirk?"
This full accusation tone caught Qi Xi off guard, as if Gu Yan had pre-empted the opportunity.
Under Gu Yan's aura, Qi Xi couldn't even hold back his voice becoming softer, not knowing why he was guilty, Qi Xi said nah: "I didn't refuse..."
"Then I'll pick you up at five o'clock tomorrow night. Do you have an evening dress?" Gu Yan paused, "You prepared an evening dress for the dance after the graduation ceremony before."
Speaking of this graduation ceremony dance, it can be regarded as an episode that Qi Xi didn't have a deep impression on.
Originally, after graduating from Rongda Law School, a graduation ball was prepared. It was a very novel and interesting event. All graduate boys were asked to wear suits or tuxedos, and girls to wear evening dresses. Looking at the last time in college can be regarded as a farewell to youth.
But later, because several students had to go back to their hometown in advance, and there were still a few who needed to apply for jobs, rent a house, etc., there were a lot of trivial matters when they were approaching graduation, and the rented venue had not passed the fire inspection temporarily, so it was impossible to hold this kind of dance party, and the time was urgent , It was too late to find a venue temporarily, and it was difficult to reconcile everyone's time, so in the end, although most of the costumes were prepared, the counselor stopped the dance.
Zhao Yiran felt very sorry about this, but Qi Xi didn't feel much about it all the time. After all, she spent all her college time studying, and there were no boys who were ambiguous or secretly in love with each other who wanted to use that prom to tell each other their hearts. Still having a headache about the dance partner, I don't know which male classmate I can invite to be my dance partner.
Frankly speaking, if Gu Yan hadn't mentioned it, Qi Xi would have completely forgotten about the prom.
But even though he wasn't interested at the time, Qi Xi wasn't so unsociable that he didn't want to participate, so he followed the notice and bought an evening dress that met the requirements. In this way, this dress has been kept at the bottom of the box, and there is no chance to see the light of day. This time, I followed Gu Yan to attend the annual meeting of Gu Xuehan's client, and it happened to be useful, which is very good!
"Yes, yes!" Qi Xi nodded repeatedly, "I should be able to find it!"
After Qi Xi confirmed the time with Gu Yan again, he thought that Gu Yan would hang up the phone, but this man always seemed to have something to say, and he talked about a customer consultation reception tomorrow just like Qi Xi had nothing to say. Finally, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still asked—
"Is that the red dress you're going to wear tomorrow?"
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Gu Yan how he knew it was red, but after a second thought, he suddenly remembered.
In order to prepare for the prom, everyone flocked to a nearby tailor-made clothing store with good quality and low price.
College graduates don’t have a big budget, and they only wear skirts once, so they don’t pursue big brands. The owner of the tailor-made clothing store is a deaf-mute couple, but they are very dexterous, and the styles of both suits and dresses are fashionable. Very generous.
Qi Xi can't remember who made the skirt in that shop first, but only remembers that after taking it back to the dormitory and wearing it, everyone thought it was quite amazing, so they spread the word, almost all the graduates of the law school, Went to that shop to have it custom made.
Qi Xi thought about it carefully, he was also going to pick up the skirt to try it on, to confirm whether there were any details that needed to be adjusted in the end, when he bumped into Gu Yan, he seemed to have just ordered a suit at that time.
But at that time, Gu Yan almost didn't pay attention to himself...
So much so that when Qi Xi was still debating whether to greet him, Gu Yan didn't even lift his eyelids away.
So in fact, he clearly saw himself.
Qi Xi couldn't help muttering: "You still remember that I was wearing red, I thought you didn't see me at all, so it turned out that you didn't want to say hello to me."
Gu Yan probably didn't expect Qi Xi to think of this level, he was obviously stunned, and then coughed unnaturally, trying to rationalize his impoliteness: "I saw it, but it wasn't very good. clear."
"..." Qi Xi said dissatisfied, "Your explanation is too insincere."
But Gu Yan insisted: "It's not that I don't want to say hello to you."
Gu Yan didn't seem to be able to find a better reason, so he could only repeat this sentence blankly, and then fell silent for a moment, before his voice came again from the other end of the phone—
"I'm sorry." He assured in a well-behaved and obedient tone, "I will say hello to you next time I see you."
Qi Xi blushed suddenly: "Why are you so like a primary school student!"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, maybe he felt a little naive, he didn't pursue the topic of elementary school students anymore, his tone became more reserved, and then asked Qi Xi: "So you will wear that red dress tomorrow, right?"
"Yes." Qi Xi felt a little strange, "Why do you care so much? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Yan has confirmed the red dress several times.
But when Qi Xi directly asked him why he cared so much about whether it was a red dress or not, Gu Yan immediately denied it: "No, I just asked what color you are wearing so that I can match it with the clothes." The man coughed, "No It's too early, hang up."
Qi Xi didn't think there was any problem when he hung up the phone, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt puzzled—as a man, wouldn't Gu Yan only wear black, gray and navy blue to the reception? What else can these colors match? Does not conflict with red!
It's a pity that he was really sleepy, Qi Xi yawned, and felt that his eyes could close automatically, so he decided to follow his instinct, stop thinking and sleep soundly.
**
He didn't pay much attention to the prom before, but this time, Qi Xi was a little nervous and apprehensive because it was the only chance to show this red dress.
Apart from trying it on once at a tailor, she has never worn it again.
Fortunately, the skirt is still close-fitting and has smooth lines. The simple and elegant design is very eye-catching, and the style is also very classic. Qi Xi took a picture in the mirror and was quite satisfied. The stick curled the tail of her hair, and then put on a delicate makeup.
Probably because the battle was too big, Zhao Yiran, who was passing by, was stunned at the fully armed Qi Xi: "Qi Xi, are you going to get married? It's so grand!"
Qi Xi took a picture in the mirror, and didn't feel that she was overdressed: "I dress very simply!"
"Simple is simple." Zhao Yiran gestured, "But... but you are wearing this red dress, the lethality is a bit too much." She seemed to be having trouble finding an accurate adjective, "You know, most of the time, less is more, the skirt is very simple, but it sets off your overall appearance and figure are very outstanding, I am a woman, I feel a bit like a visual attack at first glance, let alone a man... "
…
**
Until waiting for Gu Yan anxiously downstairs, Qi Xi was still thinking about Zhao Yiran's words just now, did... have such a visual impact? Would Gu Yan feel shocked after seeing it
Qi Xi didn't know what she was expecting, but she did become a little uneasy and nervous.
Gu Yan, who claimed to be picking him up by car, did not "drive" his bicycle again this time until the BMW in front of him was parked beside Qi Xi. Opening the co-pilot's door, Qi Xi was a little unresponsive.
Gu Yan's hairstyle has obviously been taken care of today, he looks especially tall and straight in a suit, and when he purses his lips and doesn't speak, he gives people a very unapproachable elite feeling.
But handsome.
Really handsome.
It's the level that Qi Xi can't help but sneak a few more glances after seeing it.
It's just that compared to Qi Xi's peeking, Gu Yan is much more serious, except that Qi Xi was stunned for a moment when he opened the door and got off the car. After that, Gu Yan didn't even look at Qi Xi anymore, and just stared at the ground, as if Qi Xi It's a walking red barricade.
Zhao still said that this is a visual impact
What hit! Gu Yan didn't even look at it!
Qi Xi was a little lost, frustrated and puzzled.
Gu Yan sat beside her, driving quietly. Although Qi Xi doesn't know cars very well, he also knows that the car Gu Yan drives is a BMW 7 series.
She sniffed, trying to shake off her previous emotions: "This is my favorite car."
Gu Yan was stunned, obviously surprised: "Really?"
"Yes." Qi Xi nodded, "Because it's the Seventh Series, which sounds like my name, I will buy a Seventh Series when I earn money." She turned to look at Gu Yan, "Why did you buy this car?" A car? I don’t usually see you driving it.”
Gu Yan didn't answer Qi Xi's question directly, but simply said: "I also think the name is nice." He looked ahead and said calmly, "I also like seven, seven is my lucky number."
I see.
Qi Xi didn't ask any other questions, Gu Yan turned on the soft music in the car, and the car had a faint smell of citrus and lemon, and the venue of the annual meeting of the listed company was not far away.
**
Qi Xi's emotions were swept away after entering the annual meeting venue. As expected of a wealthy listed company, the site layout can be said to be magnificent. She no longer thought about the previous things, but began to observe the surroundings curiously.
"Qi Xi?"
Gu Yan went to sign in at the moment, and this was not his voice.
Qi Xi turned around curiously, and then saw Meng Kai: "Are you coming to this annual meeting too?"
Meng Kai wore a high-end suit, looking tall and mature, he nodded with a smile: "Yes, our company is a partner with this listed company, so we will be invited to the annual meeting every year, so you are their Was your co-counsel present?"
He stretched out his hand to Qi Xi and smiled: "Are you alone? Do you lack a partner? Can I invite you to be my female partner?"
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you bring a female companion? Don't you need a companion for this dance?"
Meng Kai tilted his head: "It's not compulsory." He looked into Qi Xi's eyes, "Besides, I don't have a companion, how do you ask me to take it?"
"So, Qi Xi, can you be my female companion tonight?"
Qi Xi was just about to decline, but someone refused before her—
"No." Gu Yan should have finished signing in, and walked over from not far away. He pulled Qi Xi behind him, and his tall body blocked Qi Xi's view of Meng Kai.
His face was as cold as ice: "Qi Xi is my female companion."
Meng Kai probably didn't expect that Gu Yan would come out halfway, he showed a surprised expression, and then smiled meaningfully at Qi Xi: "I thought you broke up, after all, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept being so possessive Strong boyfriend, he stares at you too closely."
As Meng Kai spoke, he casually picked up the cocktail from the passing waiter's tray, and after drinking it down, he politely smiled at Qi Xi: "I forgot to mention that you are very beautiful in this red dress."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yan again: "I wish you a happy evening."
This is quite a gentleman to go.
Meng Kai left, but Gu Yan still seemed unhappy. He glanced at Qi Xi and said in a muffled voice, "Do you want to be his female companion more?"
The man seemed to hold back for a long time, and after a while, he took a deep breath: "If you really want to dance with him, I will..."
"I don't want to dance with him." Qi Xi interrupted Gu Yan, she stared seriously at Gu Yan's eyes, "I am the female companion you brought, of course I just want to dance with you."
These words seemed to have greatly comforted Gu Yan, his face was a little red, but his emotions eased like a cat with fried hair being stroked: "Oh, if this is the case, then you always see what he does, laugh so Happy, as if you really want to dance with him."
This is utter slander!
Qi Xi was a little angry: "People praise me for looking good in this dress, should I cry for them to see? Are you unhappy when someone praises you for being beautiful? You didn't even praise me, and I still smiled at you!"
"Then I praise you."
Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi, and said seriously: "Qi Xi, you are really beautiful in this dress."
Qi Xi just complained inadvertently, and didn't expect Gu Yan to respond to him. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan not only replied, but also said such words.
Now Qi Xi became nervous and overwhelmed, and she became a little incoherent: "Really? But you didn't look at me just now. So are you perfunctory? It's not necessary, I won't even pretend to praise me I'll give you more bonuses, does it really look good in this dress?"
After Qi Xi finished speaking, she regretted so much that she wished she could find a hole in the ground and go in. What did I say and what did I say!
"It's not perfunctory, it's beautiful." Gu Yan's voice sounded a little unreal, so that Qi Xi wondered if these conversations were all imagined by himself.
He looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, I saw it when you tried it on for the first time in a tailor-made clothing store. I thought it looked good at the time."
Qi Xi's heart beat a little faster when she heard that, she looked up at Gu Yan, and then looked away unnaturally, as if she couldn't look directly at him: "Don't you just lie to me? You think it's not right to look good. Take a second look?"
"It's impolite to stare too much." Gu Yan's voice was calm and calm, and he explained concisely, "It's like staring at a dish you like to eat while eating, and it's not polite to eat."
Now Qi Xi felt that her whole face might be as red as her skirt.
