Chapter 7: Lady, please be responsible for me 03
A bright moon hung in the sky, extremely bright. The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness to the night. The branches swayed left and right with the wind, making rustling sounds when they hit each other. Under this gentle night, a "significant" conversation was taking place in a hot pot restaurant. Gu Rong and Jian Qi had been talking from the afternoon to the evening, and now they were a little tipsy——
"Gu Rong, tell me the truth, do you like Jingjing?" Although Jian Qi drank a lot of wine, he was still conscious.
Hearing Jian Qi's question, Gu Rong smiled and continued to pour wine for Jian Qi while saying, "Yes."
"Do you know how many years I have liked Jingjing?"
"Big Brother." Gu Rong's tone was gentle, his eyes full of sincerity, "Not all feelings have to be measured by time. I like Jingjing, and Jingjing likes me too. I believe you are a smart person and can see this. But I know that your position in Jingjing's heart is also unique. You will always be her big brother, and this position cannot be replaced by anyone. Today, the two of us said we wanted to fight, and you saw how embarrassed Jingjing was. Because in her heart, she would be very sad if either of us got hurt. We shouldn't make people who care about us sad, right?"
Jian Qi listened to Gu Rong's words and fell into deep thought. Gu Rong waited patiently, intending to wait until he really understood. After a long time, Jian Qi suddenly looked up at Gu Rong and said firmly: "The two of us - it must be you who was injured!"
Gu Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He raised his glass and said with a smile, "I finally know where Jingjing's unique way of thinking comes from."
"Gu Rong, you will be nice to Jingjing."
Jian Qi obviously used declarative sentences.
Gu Rong said without thinking, "Of course. When I first met Jingjing, I didn't like her. I thought she was a little silly and out of touch with society. But gradually I found that her 'silliness' was exactly what I lacked. Some people say that everyone is born with only half, so they spend their entire lives looking for their other half, because only when they meet that other half can they be complete. I think Jingjing is the other half who can make up for my shortcomings."
Jian Qi listened quietly, then took a sip of wine, his cheeks turned red, and he looked a little drunk.
"I finally understand why Jingjing doesn't like me but likes you. Your eloquence is exactly what I lack," he said.
"So we are not each other's significant other!" Gu Rong felt that Jian Qi's tone was a bit heavy, so he joked.
It was rare that Jian Qi, who had no sense of humor, was not angry today. He just sighed and said, "You have to remember what you said today."
"Yes." Gu Rong suddenly leaned his head closer to Jian Qi and said solemnly, "Big Brother, let me introduce you to a significant other!"
Jian Qi looked at Gu Rong expressionlessly for a long time. Just when Gu Rong was about to give up, he suddenly asked, "Is there?"
"Wait for my good news!" Gu Rong immediately punched his chest with his fist and promised.
Jian Qi lowered his head and drank silently. His cheeks became redder, and he didn't know if it was because of the wine or for some other reason.
After three rounds of drinking, Gu Rong and Jian Qi were both a little tipsy. They walked out of the restaurant with their arms around each other's shoulders, ready to take a taxi back home. It was late at night, and the streets were quiet and empty, with only a few cars flashing their lights and speeding on the road.
"Hey, stop the car!" Jian Qi suddenly stood in the middle of the road and stopped a taxi.
The driver stopped the car and leaned out to observe the conditions of Gu Rong and Jian Qi. When they were about to open the car door, he stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, quickly disappearing on the seemingly endless street.
Jian Qi and Gu Rong obviously hadn't recovered from their shock. They stood stiffly on the side of the road for a long time. Gu Rong was the first to react and tried to pull Jian Qi back: "Forget it, let's stop someone else."
Jian Qi ignored him, staring at the empty street ahead and clenched his fists: "He - actually dared to refuse a ride!"
Although Gu Rong had drunk a lot of wine, he was still sober. He knew that Jian Qi was drunk and crazy, so he hurried to hold him back: "Brother, forget it. He didn't give us a ride because he made less money. We don't have to be angry with him."
"No! This is an insult to my personality!" Jian Qi waved away Gu Rong's hand and roared into the distance, "I don't believe I can't catch up with him!"
Gu Rong touched his forehead helplessly, thinking that this senior brother's way of acting crazy when drunk was really unique than that of ordinary people. He actually wanted to chase the taxi on foot. If this got out, it would really bring honor to the Su family.
"You dare to refuse a ride? Wait and see!" Jian Qi gritted his teeth and pretended to catch up. Gu Rong hugged his arm to stop him from doing this self-harming thing. "Big Brother, think twice!" he shouted.
Jian Qi roared angrily: "Leave me alone!"
Two men over 1.8 meters tall were actually performing a romance drama on the deserted street. The bright yellow street light lengthened the figures of the two people, making them look particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
The two of them were fighting on the side of the road, with several taxis speeding by. Suddenly, Jian Qi looked up to the sky and shouted, "Let me go!" As he spoke, he struggled to break free from Gu Rong with his arms. Gu Rong, who had been hugging Jian Qi tightly from behind, did not expect him to do this off guard and stumbled backwards, falling into the flowerbed beside the road. Not only that, his head unexpectedly hit the lamppost.
"Gu Rong!" Jian Qi stared at the horrific scene with wide eyes.
Unfortunately, it was too late, Gu Rong had already fainted. If someone could hear the voice in Gu Rong's heart, then what he was thinking in the last moment of his coma must be: There are so many stars tonight!
