Chapter 17 You gigolo!
Yu Huan is still using a crutch, and is surrounded by an invincible aura, so he naturally has an excuse not to drink a drop of alcohol.
He immediately stood up and hurriedly pressed down on Xie Gouhua's hand, which was about to open the bottle for him.
"I'm so sorry everyone, as you can see, the doctor said I can't drink alcohol, and I'm not being dramatic! I'll drink coconut juice instead of alcohol and toast to everyone!"
It wasn't mentioned that he arrived in a BMW. Showing off like that at a classmate gathering is really pointless.
He picked up a box of coconut juice from the table and filled a disposable plastic cup.
Xie Gouhua, the only one among these people who would urge others to drink, didn't say anything when he saw this.
Everyone raised their glasses.
Fang Yuting also picked up her box of coconut juice.
Xie Gouhua, meanwhile, blew the bottle away with gusto.
After everyone clinked their glasses...
Yu Huan drank it all in one gulp.
The icy liquid slid down my throat.
So sweet.
Cool to the core.
He said, "You guys keep having fun, just pretend I don't exist. I'm just here to hang out and freeload a meal."
The words fell.
Zhao Yuan, who was lying there, suddenly raised his head, drunkenly looked around, his face flushed and his eyes glazed over, and suddenly fixed his gaze on Yu Huan.
The veins on his neck bulged out as he slammed his fist on the table and roared:
"Yu Huan! You gigolo!"
"Uh, soft rice is indeed easier on the stomach than hard rice, why don't you give it a try?"
Zhao Yuan heard this.
Lips move.
He wanted to say something more, but his head suddenly slammed heavily onto the wooden table.
Sitting on the other side of Zhao Yuan, Fang Yuting had a half-smile on her face: "Yu Huan, I heard you're dating a girlfriend with great prospects now?"
Yu Huan picked up a skewer of lamb with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, opened her mouth, and took a bite of the lamb.
cold.
Somewhat cold and hard.
My mouth was filled with the taste of barbecue seasoning.
These grilled lamb skewers taste best when they're hot.
When it gets cold, it develops a strong muttony smell.
As he chewed the bland chunks of meat, he said, "It's not very good, just okay."
In front of these classmates with whom she had a close relationship, Yu Huan didn't feel comfortable bringing up the fact that the two of them had gotten their marriage certificates.
after all.
I still need to get married and have children in the future, be a good person, and accept their wedding gifts.
This is merely a marriage of convenience, tentatively set for three years.
Upon hearing this, Xie Gouhua sighed and said, "Sigh, we've grown estranged. Huan'er didn't even tell me he had a girlfriend; I only found out from Zhao Yuan."
"Dog, what are you saying? We're half-brothers!"
Yu Huan's rather avant-garde line from Jiang's films is still quite fresh today, immediately eliciting laughter from everyone.
He continued, "Let me tell you, we only confirmed our relationship yesterday."
"No wonder you dress so elegantly now, it turns out you're dating a rich woman."
Yu Huan laughed it off: "It has nothing to do with that, I'm going to be a groomsman."
The group must have stayed there for quite a while.
Empty wine bottles were scattered all over the table and floor, and bamboo skewers were strewn everywhere except in the plates; overall, it was a mess.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Yu Huan had just arrived, and not long after, someone got drunk and passed out.
The group stopped playing the dice game, and the boisterous atmosphere quieted down considerably.
After chatting for a while, recounting many interesting stories from school, Yu Huan patted her stomach after finishing her meal and suggested taking her leave.
"Huan'er, wanna go to karaoke?"
Xie Gouhua winked and made faces.
Yu Huan knew this coded expression all too well:
Touch and sing.
"Didn't I say I'm exhausted today? I just want to eat my fill and go back to sleep."
Yu Huan is not a spoilsport.
They either don't accept invitations, or if they do come, they rarely say they're tired.
Xie Gouhua didn't press the issue: "Alright then, I'll invite you out to play another day."
"Row."
He said goodbye to everyone, then got up, took his cane, and left.
Lift the curtain.
A gust of cold wind hit his face, causing him to instinctively shrink his neck.
Yu Huan's figure disappeared around the corner.
Fang Yuting suddenly picked up her phone from the table, glanced at the screen, and hurriedly said, "It's already two o'clock, everyone, it's too late, I'm going home too."
Upon hearing this, Xie Gouhua responded, glancing with pity at Zhao Yuan, who lay beside him like a dead pig.
Who is Gouzi?
Experienced in many battles.
Practice makes perfect.
He's an expert at spotting manipulative women.
Fang Yuting's anxious appearance made me see through her act but I didn't say anything.
The night was starless and moonless, exceptionally desolate.
Although it was deserted, at two in the morning, there were still small groups of people wandering around the streets.
Yu Huan walked slowly.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of heels clicking away from behind me, getting closer and closer until they reached my side, at which point the sound subsided.
He turned his head and saw Fang Yuting following behind.
Yu Huan smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's wrong? Are you going home too?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Yu Huan."
"Why are you sorry?"
"Was it embarrassing for you in public after the graduation ceremony?"
"What's this?"
Yu Huan spoke quickly as she walked:
"A person who never makes a fool of themselves is always a dog; a person who makes a fool of themselves becomes more spirited. The more foolish you are, the faster you grow. If you want to become strong, you must make a fool of yourself!"
Fang Yuting already had a plan in mind, just waiting for Yu Huan to say "It's okay".
This sudden tongue twister almost made him dizzy, so he quickly stopped and grabbed his sleeve:
"Yu Huan! You blocked my number, and it made me feel terrible for days. I mean, let's call it even, okay?"
"Ok?"
"Can you please not change your mind?"
"Oh." Yu Huan turned around. Fang Yuting was about 1.6 meters tall, and the top of her head was roughly at his lips.
He shifted his gaze slightly downwards.
Fang Yuting's eyes seemed to be sparkling.
Uh.
Are you showing off your tea ceremony again?
Bah!
Bold monster!
I can tell at a glance that you are not human!
Show your true colors now!
"Yu Huan, you need to put on some lip balm, your lips are all dry."
Fang Yuting smiled gently, looked up at his lips, and said:
"Would you like to try my lipstick? It's strawberry flavored."
As soon as this was said.
Yu Huan saw her suddenly close her eyes slightly and pout her lips in a daze.
After a moment's thought.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his fingertip, scratched her lips, and then sniffed it.
Nodding with a look of understanding, he said, "Yes, it is indeed a strawberry-flavored lip balm."
Fang Yuting opened her eyes wide, looking at him in astonishment.
After confirming that the lip balm was indeed strawberry-flavored, Yu Huan took out her car keys from her pocket, turned around, and said without looking back:
"I'm so sleepy, I won't wait for the taxi with you. Goodbye!"
He took a few steps forward, casually opened the back door, and put the cane inside.
Then I got into the driver's seat and started the car.
A series of actions, all in the blink of an eye.
All that remained was Fang Yuting's disheveled figure in the wind, reflected in the rearview mirror.
Staring dumbfounded, they watched the BMW 3 Series, which still held some prestige in this day and age, speed away.
"Ha, a man who has been given a second chance at life will never fall into a woman's trap!" Yu Huan muttered to himself as he looked away from the rearview mirror.
More than ten years is enough time to see a person clearly.
Don't change your mind, just wait a little longer, okay?
The longest road I've ever walked is the road of her schemes!
I will never fall for her tricks again!
He turned on the car's music system and started shaking his head and howling like a banshee.
As soon as the electric guitar intro started, the orange sunrise of the 90s shone on my face once again.
"Don't Break My Heart, be gentle again~"
The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, as if draping the asphalt road in a thin golden veil.
In the quiet of the night, with the engine gently humming, Yu Huan felt an unparalleled sense of freedom and control.
Back at the Lion Hill community, Yu Huan squeezed into a narrow parking space and went upstairs, looking exhausted.
After the plaster cast is removed, I can ride my electric scooter and then drive it to Delta to park.
After all, if you don't drive your car much, it's better to leave it in the garage.
Clean and safe.
You won't find that the car body has been scratched for no reason, and the roof is covered with fallen leaves and bird droppings.
He was going to get a good night's rest.
Because there are many things to do tomorrow.
I need to go to the Public Security Bureau to report a wanted criminal, I need to go to the Delta to look at houses, and I also need to take a stroll along Xiangchun Road, where the planning is about to be announced.
