Chapter 26 The Orange-Red Flower

Can't go, can only face.

She turned around, looked at him under the light and shadow, and replied, "Professor Lu thinks highly of me, this show is too laborious and costly, it's not worth it."

"It's worth it to ask Ms. Gu to enjoy a dance." The smile on Lu Beichen's lips was unpredictable. He found a wooden chair at random and sat down, leaned back leisurely, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and took out the A cigarette, and she was still looking at her during the whole process, "Miss Gu's beauty is enough to make a man want to smile with all his confidantes."

Gu Chu felt that these words were not to praise her, according to what he did, his original intention was to see how messed up she was.Seeing that he was sitting there again, as if he would not leave for the time being, she didn't want to negotiate with him, because obviously, she would be at a disadvantage when the situation was unknown.

He clenched his hands, and after letting go, he said in a calm tone, "With Professor Lu's capital, it's not enough to show courteousness to a woman."

Lu Beichen was not annoyed, but smiled.Putting the cigarette in his hand in his mouth, he took out the lighter and lit it.In the dark night, when the fire light flickered slightly, his face was reflected very clearly, but his high nose bone and slightly tensed jaw revealed his seriousness.This situation reminded Gu Chu of the sentence written by Zhang Ailing in "The First Incense": Qiao Qi couldn't see her even if she didn't look at her, but he knew she must be crying.He took out the cigarette holder and lighter with his free hand, held the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it.As soon as the fire was lit, an orange-red flower seemed to bloom on his mouth in that bitterly cold night, and the flower withered immediately, and it was cold and dark again...

She didn't know why she thought of this sentence, maybe it was because, between her and him, there was also hidden pain that was free?Or maybe, she didn't admit that he was a stranger from the very beginning.

"It's not Ms. Gu's style to give in repeatedly. I heard that you have always been sharp-tongued." Lu Beichen elegantly exhaled a smoke ring and stared at her through the smoke.

Gu Chu took a small breath, using this method to control his emotions, "I also heard that Professor Lu has always been eloquent, so I won't be brave in front of experts."

Lu Beichen looked at her, behind her was the sea area, the wind blew her long hair, that palm-sized face became paler against the black hair, only the lips were naturally rosy, like cherry blossoms weak.She was too weak, like a small sail that would be submerged in the middle of the sea at any time, and his heart ached.

"I seem to have become a scourge. Why is Miss Gu so afraid of me?" He was calm, but secretly gritted his teeth.

Gu Chu didn't answer.

Lu Beichen put his arm holding Yan to one side and said, "Come and sit."

Of course she would not go over to chat with him. If he was Lu Beichen, then she would have nothing to talk to him who was a stranger. If he was Lu Beishen, she would not be qualified to approach him.Both feet are still moving forward, and with each step closer, the heart beats harder on the ears.

When Lu Beichen saw her coming forward, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

But she stopped in front of him. Two or three steps away, she could clearly see the fireworks exploding deep in the bottom of his eyes, but it was not enough to see her inner avoidance. This was a safe distance, for a Gu Chulai, who only knows how to walk like a snail with a soft shell on his back, needs such a safe distance.

"Thank you very much for the birthday party tonight. Professor Lu took the trouble. It's getting late. If you don't mind, I will leave early."

Lu Beichen didn't speak, just raised his eyes to look at her, the smoke between his fingers burned quietly, the faint red light eroded slowly, silent like him.Gu Chu avoided his gaze, and after finishing speaking, he politely gestured to him and left.

In the dark night, only the smell of tobacco remained, and her breath gradually dissipated.

Lu Beichen leaned against the back of the chair without moving, but the smile on his lips disappeared. After a long time, he took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it, and then slammed down half of the cigarette.

At this time, the neon lights are half awake, the light is swallowed by the night, and the wind passes by, and occasionally it will shine through the palm tree leaves.When Gu Chu left the hotel, he stood by the side of the road and took a taxi. Qiongzhou is a stable city, so it is not so noisy at night. There are very few taxis, and some of them passing by her are also carrying people.She was a little regretful, she just wanted to leave, but forgot to ask the staff to call a car for her.

She walked along the way home, feeling a little cold when the wind blew over her shoulders, and her feet ached.She stopped walking, she sighed, she hadn't worn high heels for a long time, but they were only five or six centimeters high, and her feet could no longer bear the pain of pretending, remembering that she often used to be around eight centimeters high heels back then.After thinking about it, he simply took off his high heels, and when he looked again, his heels were rubbed red and his toes were worn out.

Fortunately, it was also at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, otherwise, it would be strange for her to walk around barefoot in high heels.

A black commercial vehicle slid up beside her, and it stopped abruptly when it approached her.

It was silent but made Gu Chu startled again.

The car window fell, revealing Lu Beichen's serious face.Gu Chu didn't expect him to chase him out, so he froze.

Lu Beichen looked at her for a while, and when his eyes fell on her bare feet stepping on the ground, his face became more and more cold, but when he spoke, his voice sounded calm and emotional. "boarding."

Gu Chu reacted, "No need, I—"

"I'll take you back." Lu Beichen interrupted her.

Gu Chu hurriedly waved his hands, then suddenly remembered that he was holding a pair of shoes in one hand, and hurriedly put them down. Just as he was about to say no, Lu Beichen lightly said, "If you want to know about Beishen, get in the car."

This is a great temptation. For Gu Chu, this sentence is indeed enough to make her compromise.Pursing her lips, she put on her shoes again and walked around to the side of the car.In fact, both she and he knew that this was the inevitable result.He must achieve his goal, and she must also know the truth.

As soon as he opened the rear door, Lu Beichen raised his voice, slightly displeased, "Do I look like a driver?"

Gu Chu secretly took a deep breath, closed the car door and came to the co-pilot.Lu Beichen turned sideways slightly, stretched out his hand to open the co-pilot's door for her, she squeezed her fingers, and bit the bullet and sat in.

All the way.

It was quiet in the car.

Lu Beichen stared straight ahead, firmly controlled the steering wheel, his profile was resolute and quiet, his lips were slightly pursed, he was silent, and it was difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.After getting into the car, Gu Chu also temporarily chose to remain silent. It's not that she didn't want to say it, but she just didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the car is masculine, lacking softness.It was Lysol water mixed with the very light tobacco smell on his body, which was cool and sexy.Gu Chu felt confused again. In the former Beishen, what she loved most was the smell of sunshine on his body, like clean soapy water, but with the wild energy of a big boy.

Lu Beichen kept silent, she had to speak, at least the car couldn't move aimlessly.Gu Chu said, "Turn right ahead to the direction of the old town."

He didn't look at her, but turned the steering wheel slightly, and the car turned right.

"Thank you."

Lu Beichen was silent.

It was eerily quiet.The car is also excellently sound-proofed, and outside noises cannot come in, so they cannot share the suffocating silence.After a long time, Gu Chu broke the silence, "I want to know what's going on."

The red light ahead, the car slowed down and stopped.

Lu Beichen didn't look at her, he was controlling the steering wheel with his big hands, his eyes were deep, and his face looked more and more gloomy.Gu Chu noticed the change in his face, and her back began to feel cold. She was afraid that he would force her to retreat with his cold attitude like the time in the elevator, and then she would run away again and couldn't find him. the truth.

Gu Chu thought he would say something, but he still didn't say a word until the green light came on, started the car and continued on.Gu Chu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. Since she couldn't find out, she didn't intend to ask the bottom line, so she just pointed out the address of her home.Then, at the fork leading to the old city, Lu Beichen suddenly turned the direction, and the car drove towards the bustling new district.

Gu Chu was taken aback for a moment, but when she realized that the car had slid far away, she glanced through the car window, then turned her head to look at Lu Beichen, "I made a mistake, I should have entered at the intersection just now."

Lu Beichen didn't say anything, just drove by himself.

"Hey, Professor Lu." Gu Chu blurted out in a hurry, and immediately revised, "Where are you taking me?"

However, Lu Beichen still has a poker face.

After driving for about 20 minutes, Lu Beichen finally stopped the car.Gu Chu didn't expect that he would bring her to the restaurant, so he froze.

"Get out of the car." After getting out of the car, Lu Beichen went around to the co-pilot and opened the door for her, and said unhurriedly.

Gu Chu hesitated, but got out of the car anyway.After closing the car door, Lu Beichen threw the key in his hand to the parking boy and walked into the restaurant.Gu Chu thought that he might have something to say, so he followed closely.

There were not many people in the restaurant at this time. It was originally a restaurant that required advance reservations and members had priority, so the dining environment was always guaranteed.Gu Chu knew that this restaurant had been open for two years, but it was frequently featured in gourmet magazines because of the expensive dishes and exquisite cooking methods.How many times she stopped by this restaurant, and every time she told herself that this restaurant is a place that she cannot enter now.

It seems that this is not the first time for Lu Beichen to patronize here. After entering, a waiter greeted him: Mr. Lu, you are here.He went straight to a place by the window, stopped, gently pulled a chair, looked at Gu Chu, and said, "Sit."

More like a long-lost date, the man under the night is elegant and noble, waiting for his lover with a considerate and gentle attitude.Gu Chu quickly dispelled this illusion, bit his lips lightly, stepped forward, and he pushed the chair for her very justly, she sat down, and the angle with the dining table was just right.

And Lu Beichen sat down opposite her.

When the menu was delivered, Lu Beichen told her, "Let's order."

Gu Chu didn't touch the menu, "I've already eaten at the party."

Lu Beichen glanced at her, took the menu without saying a word, turned a few pages, and ordered a few dishes to the waiter.Seeing this, Gu Chu immediately said, "I'm really not hungry, we—"

"I need to eat." Lu Beichen interrupted her.

Gu Chu stopped talking, thinking that maybe he really didn't eat anything at the party, she seemed to be holding wine or chatting or staring at her when she could see him, the wine glass seemed to be a decoration, no See him drinking.Gu Chu's stomach grumbled secretly, and Gu Chu blushed for fear of being heard by him, and he was relieved to see that he was still serious about ordering and had no response.In fact, she didn't eat anything at the party, at most she was forcibly fed a mouthful of cake and a few pieces of fruit by Xiao Xiaoxiao.

In that environment, she was not in the mood to eat.

While waiting for the meal, a man in black came in and walked straight towards the table.Gu Chu knew that they were Lu Beichen's people. This forensic authority, regarded as a national treasure, was naturally under heavy protection.But what surprised her was that there were no bodyguards following Lu Beichen tonight, only this one was seen.The bodyguard stepped forward and handed the bag in his hand to Lu Beichen. Lu Beichen just nodded without saying anything, and the bodyguard left.
