Chapter 18 You have to hold tight, Mr. Xu, can we have a drink...

The sigh from the bottom of the throat, like the low roar of a beast approaching and occupying step by step, pressed over, surrounded, and blocked the lonely deserted island.

Li Su's eyes were fixed on the woman, not daring to move. Even if she avoided it, she could feel those eyes, hungry eyes, greedy eyes, looking at them.

Her left hand was weakly pressed against the seam of her skirt. The hem of her cheongsam was inexplicably tight, strangling her and making her unable to breathe. Li Su wanted to cover all the exposed skin. Including her face.

"Brother Liu! I will teach you the small cross-cup first, and then the big cross-cup?" The woman leaned against Liu Jia sweetly, and said intimately: "Can you please help me find an opponent?"

"That's great! Old Liu, come one! Come one!" The people in the room looked over without being bothered by the excitement, seeing a gorgeous scene and seeing fresh grass playing with the old cow.

Some people fanned the flames with emotion: "It takes a girl who knows how to handle things and break the ice for us to relax. Otherwise, everyone will be restrained and talk about power and profit all the time. We can't build friendships! The relationship can't be solid!"

"This girl has a bright future. Who is she?"

"Li Xiaoqing. Liu Jia is promoting a new actress. She graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. Is that okay? She is here today to solicit sponsorship for her new play. Will you invest? How about a few tens of millions for fun?"

The men were gossiping. The voices were neither too loud nor too soft. If you listen carefully, you can hear them. Li Xiaoqing heard it. Her eyes were bright, full of expectations for the future.

"Brother Liu, I really want to thank you for this glass of wine. You brought me here to meet so many big bosses. Oh, I'm lucky, lucky, I've learned a lot~" With these words, the whole audience was lifted up, and the other capitalists also laughed and looked at Li Xiaoqing's face.

Li Xiaoqing was also very "sensible" and poured herself a large half cup. Her eyes were sincere and she looked at Liu Jia with a happy smile. She stretched out her arm and took the initiative to hold Liu Jia's arm.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Everyone started to make a noise, "Old Liu, don't get drunk."

"I'm not drunk, but I'm drunk by myself. I'm secretly happy in my heart." Liu Jia raised the corner of his mouth and made a very conceited expression, which made many people present laugh.

The small cross-cup is to drink with arms crossed. Amid the cheers of the crowd, the two drank it straight. Li Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly became red, and she smiled generously, like a beautiful red rose.

Holding the wine and lifting the bottom of the bottle, Li Xiaoqing poured a shallow cup for Liu Jia and a deep cup for himself.

Li Xiaoqing lowered her glass and gently touched it with Liu Jia, and said shyly, "Brother Liu, let's have another big cup exchange."

"Big cup exchange! Big cup exchange! Big cup exchange!" The onlookers clapped their hands rhythmically.

"Old Liu, the little girl is shy, you should take the initiative! Don't stand there like a fool! Are you in love?!"

"Okay, okay!" Liu Jia took advantage of the situation and opened her hands, and decisively hugged Li Xiaoqing.

Liu Jia was only half a head taller than Li Xiaoqing, and they crossed their shoulders and drank on each other's shoulders. This is a big cup exchange.

Li Su looked at it stiffly. It was like watching a big hand in reality, turning the tide.

The sound of swallowing saliva, clothes rubbing against each other, rustling, chopsticks hitting the revolving glass table, and the lively cheers stopping from time to time, as if breathing, as if opening their mouths.

People are like snacks.

There was a moment when Li Su broke down and wanted to cry. She didn't know why she felt that it was somewhat fair to see a group of hooligans partying?

Maybe this is the price of youth. Tian Xin had mentioned it to her a long time ago. It's just that she overestimated herself and thought she could handle it and get out of it smoothly.

"Li Su." Liu Jia called her, her voice was very cold.

Li Su shuddered, as if she was a student who was called up to answer a question when she was distracted in class. She took a step back helplessly, and she still remembered to smile, but her smile was very fake.

"Let's have a big cup exchange." Liu Jia's eyes were indifferent, but like Mount Tai leaning over, there was an inescapable sense of oppression. "I can't drink anymore. So, among the CEOs present, you pick one - except Zheng Ting."

"You..." Zheng Ting laughed rudely, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Jia, shaking his head without saying anything.

Li Su looked at Liu Jia stupidly. She was a little surprised, but she felt that she shouldn't be surprised.

Liu Jia was singing, reciting, and acting so hard to liven up the place. How could he possibly want to take advantage of her? But he was just offering her a gift to others and pushing her out for others to taste...

What was she?

She was nothing. Even if she was eaten by this group of people today, as long as everyone was an accomplice, this matter could be concealed.

Li Su pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely. With that flawless white face, it actually aroused curiosity.

"Old Liu is still interesting. Come on, pour the wine and see who the little girl toasts!" The men cooperated and made a noise, rubbing their hands and laughing cunningly.

The female companions they brought stood up one by one, picked up the wine glasses and poured wine for them, with a proper smile on their faces, as if they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Xiaoqing walked a few steps towards Li Su, raised Li Su's right wrist, poured wine for Li Su, and sighed: "Ah, being young has its own advantages. Fresh. It's fun to tease."

Li Su raised her eyes and saw Li Xiaoqing looking at her. Her eyes were a reminder, a sigh, as if she couldn't bear it, but she smiled kindly and said, "When we become wealthy in the future, we will also ride on Mr. Liu's head and give him a drink."

Liu Jia looked at Li Xiaoqing, gave her a cold look, and quickly became playful again, grinning, "What kind of revenge is revenge in bed? Come on, let's give the opportunity

to the little girl to choose, it's not bullying." "Hahaha... That's right! Lao Zhang, you better sit up straight, be careful not to be selected as the 'concubine'. Hey, help me see? Do you still have the charm?" Mentally returning to youth, the men played and amused each other.

Li Su looked at the red wine in the glass, and her heart swayed gently.

There were so many voices, but there was no one she was most familiar with. The man sitting opposite her, sitting in the only main seat, the one everyone respected, what was he doing?

Li Su was very repulsive and curious about how Xu Shen would look at her at this moment.

Without even thinking about it, she couldn't help but lift her eyes little by little, passing the delicacies on the table, passing the flowers and mountains, and once again seeing the young, handsome, noble Xu Shen.

He was out of place. His overly young and handsome eyebrows and eyes were like a few strokes of a painting, with an artistic conception after the rain, and the tip of his nose was stained with damp cold wind, lingering in the early spring.

His two hands fell under the table, and he lowered his eyes, looking at the bottom of the red wine glass on the table, as if sinking in the night.

Why don't you dare to look? Xu Shen.

You are also embarrassed for me, and you think I am ashamed, Xu Shen.

Li Su's voice was a little sharp and a little cold. She rushed towards him across the bustle and said, "Mr. Xu, can we have a drink, a big cup?"

Inexplicably, this sentence was like a sharp blade, splashing the excitement that was finally stirred up.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The men opened their mouths and whispered, with smiles on their noses.

"Old Zheng, what kind of monsters did you bring out? Don't you need to teach them any rules?" Liu Jia attacked him rudely, "She didn't even know that Mr. Xu never drinks with women, is she asking for trouble?" "

What kind of eyesight is that? Didn't she see anything at all? If Mr. Xu doesn't raise his glass, who on the table would dare to toast him?" Liu Jia slammed the glass on the table, pointed at Li Su's nose and said, "Li Su, get out of here, get the hell out of here."

Almost at the same time, Zheng Ting also stood up and apologized, "Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry. We were just so happy that you could come to our Cantonese circle... It's also because Xiao Li admires you too much. Seeing an idol, it's inevitable that he is too happy. There is absolutely no other intention."

Being attacked and blamed, Li Su never backed down. She stared at Xu Shen intently, and saw that he finally raised his head and looked over. When he met her eyes, they were still clear.

Looking from a distance, he stood up, standing like a pine or a cypress. The sky seemed to become shorter, just above his head.

His expression was very light, and his emotions were unclear, like a raindrop of ice falling on his eyelashes.

"Admiration?" Xu Shen pursed his lips, quietly, and smiled very obscurely. He took his wine glass, lowered his eyes, and walked towards the door step by step, walking casually and confidently.

"Xu... Mr. Xu..." Liu Jia was completely confused about the current situation, and Liu Jia was not the only one who couldn't understand the situation.

Xu Shen's movements were almost smooth. He casually raised his wrist, blinked, and quickly and accurately poured half a cup of wine onto Liu Jia's face. The water splashed down, making a crackling sound.

"Puff--puff--" Liu Jia was startled, with messy wine stains on his cheeks. He wiped his eyes and stared at Xu Shen in amazement.

Xu Shen's eyes were cold and sharp, piercing Liu Jia's body, and were particularly stern. "To sober you up. Be careful with your words."

"Ah? Ah, ah." Liu Jia was startled, raised his sleeve to wipe his face, and laughed again. He didn't know what he said wrong, and he didn't dare to speak again easily.

Xu Shen picked up Li Su's wine on the table and poured himself another glass. He raised his head again, with a rare gentleness, and smiled at Li Su, like a spring breeze.

The spring breeze blew everything loose, blew away, and the clouds dispersed. The winter light shone down, and the cold became warm. It was as if this drinking party was a wedding banquet, as if no one was putting a price on youth here.

"Li Su," Xu Shen called her, very softly, he opened his arms, welcoming her openly, just like their previous relationship, just like the way they used to be, he asked: "Is it okay?"

The biting cold that seeped into the soles of her feet was gone. The thorns all over her body no longer had the meaning of being a defense.

No one laughed at her. - She didn't care if others laughed at her, but not Xu Shen.

Li Su almost threw herself in with grievance, leaning on his shoulder, snuggling, hugging Xu Shen.

What a lousy occasion, ruining their long-awaited reunion after five years.

What a lousy wedding, ruining her pure image in his heart.

Along the way, without his witness, she walked crookedly. He became her glory, but she didn't.

She...she...

Li Su's mouth seemed to be glued shut, and it was difficult for her to open her mouth. After a long while, she spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz, muffled in Xu Shen's arms: "It's not my fault."

"Yeah." Xu Shen's voice was also low, his throat was tight, he held her, at a loss, raised the glass behind her and took a few sips of wine.

After finishing the glass, he was still thirsty. Xu Shen realized it belatedly and added another sentence to give her a way out: "I'm here to socialize too. There's nothing we can do about it."

The cheongsam with a black background and blue flowers was entangled with the shirt with a black background and blue lines. The young man and woman were particularly well matched, with their ears and cheeks rubbing against each other.

It was so quiet that the sound of the crystal lamp shaking could be heard. A group of people were trying to figure it out, and none of them could figure out the tricks.

"I didn't expect Xu Shen to be so righteous..."

"Yeah, I haven't heard of it... He's really not like that in Jingbei. Over the years, I've never heard of him making things difficult for people who come out to play. He always turns a blind eye."

"You mean Old Liu is unlucky?"

"..."

The sound of bowls and chopsticks hitting each other sounded almost artificially, easing the tense atmosphere.

The brave ones took a different approach and risked saying, "Li Su, it's rare for President Xu to help people out, you better hold on tight."
