Chapter 83

Qi Zhao looked at Gu Ci, who could not smell a trace of alcohol on his body but his eyes were blurry, wondering how drunk he was.

After all, the glass of wine Gu Ci just drank was just a side dish for Qi Zhao. She had never been drunk before, and she didn't know what a drunk person would be like.

Qi Zhao recalled the experience of people around him being drunk. He put a finger in front of Gu Ci's eyes and asked, "Gu Ci, what is this?"

After hearing Qi Zhao's words, Gu Ci obediently focused his eyes. On to that finger.

After staring for two seconds, he moved his eyes to look at Qi Zhao again.

Gu Ci looked serious and said three words: "It's the index finger."

Qi Zhao glanced at the finger he stretched out, and a lot of words were blocked in his throat.

...the index finger indeed.

Although the answer was different from what he expected, Qi Zhao initially judged that Gu Ci's mind was not in chaos yet.

Qi Zhao glanced behind him. The guests in the banquet hall were still socializing in full swing.

She turned her head and looked at Gu Ci again, and could only see his troubled eyes with a hint of clarity.

Qi Zhao suddenly sighed.

Let alone discussing business with people, he may have difficulty communicating fluently with people now.

But the event is not over after all, so leaving the meeting so suddenly is not in line with the rules and polite.

Qi Zhao glanced outside the house and saw several chairs and stools in a pavilion not far away.

The right half of his body was numb from the weight of Gu Ci. Qi Zhao pointed in the direction of the pavilion and asked Gu Ci: "Would you like to sit there for a while to sober up?"

Gu Ci looked in the direction of his finger. past.

When drunk, he seems to be more cautious than before. He needs a few seconds to react in his mind before making a judgment on anything he hears or sees.

After a moment, he looked at Qi Zhao and nodded: "Yes."

Although Gu Ci's steps were a little weak due to his drunkenness and his feet had no direction, he was far from the point where he needed to hold on to someone to stand and walk.

He leaned on Qi Zhao's body as a fulcrum. When the two walked side by side towards the pavilion, it looked to outsiders as if they were closely next to each other.

After walking into the pavilion and sitting on a chair, Gu Ci's movements after finding a fixed point of stress were much straighter than when he was standing.

Keep your head up, your chest up, and your back straight.

The sitting posture is as standard as if it were taken out of a health care book.

Qi Zhao, who had just sat down and was still breathing heavily, couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Ci like this.

When Qi Zhao thought about how drunk he was after just a little bit of wine, he became more and more curious and asked, "Have you never drank before?"

For someone like Gu Ci who had dinner parties to attend every day, Qi Zhao was really I can’t figure out why his drinking capacity is so bad.

After hearing Qi Zhao's question, Gu Ci was quiet for a while, searching for the answer in his mind.

Gu Ci seemed to have recalled something. He shook his head first, and then explained why he didn't drink: "Drinking will make you drunk, and your brain will be unable to react when you are drunk."

"If you are unable to react, your contract will be changed."

Qi Zhao heard Gu Ci's detailed explanation. Still can't understand the doubts in my heart.

She had never seen someone who got drunk as easily as Gu Ci. She tried to find an answer from a perspective that she could understand: "Is it because you are allergic to alcohol that you can't drink?"

Gu Ci shook his head and said very honestly: "It's because of poor alcohol tolerance. ."

Faced with such a simple and direct reason, Qi Zhao opened his mouth but couldn't find a word to respond.

All questions are answers, very reasonable and straightforward.

When Qi Zhao was silent, Gu Ci kept staring at her with his eyes open.

His eyes were fixed for a moment, as if he was curious about something.

Qi Zhao, who came back to his senses, noticed that Gu Ci's gaze turned sideways. After noticing that Gu Ci's eyes followed her movements, Qi Zhao asked him with a smile: "What do you think I am doing?"

Gu Ci heard that Qi Zhao After Zhao said this, he slowly blinked his eyes.

He opened his mouth, but the first words he spoke were not an explanation.

Gu Ci lowered his eyelids, covered half of his eyes and whispered: "I'm sorry... Gu Ci feels very sorry."

After Qi Zhao heard Gu Ci's words, he felt strange and a little funny at the same time.

She never thought that Gu Ci, who she had classified as aloof from the beginning, would make mistakes on the simplest question of person.

Seeing Gu Ci dividing "I" and "Gu Ci" from the first perspective to the third perspective, Qi Zhao couldn't help but tease him. He deliberately asked him: "Who is Gu Ci?"

Gu Ci's thinking time on this question was obviously much longer than the pauses for the previous questions.

Gu Ci waited until the night wind carried a chill and blew past Gu Ci before he spoke again: "Gu Ci is very well-behaved and smart. He ranks first in every exam. He loves to be clean and diligent... he is a very good child."

He was speaking in the third person. Praising myself.

It's just that Qi Zhao waited for a long time after he finished speaking, but he didn't see the desire to speak again on Gu Ci's face.

It was rare for Gu Ci to boast, so Qi Zhao couldn't help but ask him: "Are you a very good kid?"

Gu Ci shook his head when he heard this.

His expression was serious, but there was a trace of imperceptible sadness in his eyes: "I'm not."

Although Qi Zhao didn't know why Gu Ci suddenly talked about her childhood, when she saw Gu Ci's inexplicable serious expression, she felt... Something feels wrong.

However, she thought about it and found nothing special. In order to dispel the confusion and doubts in her heart, Qi Zhao first opened her mouth to solve the most obvious mistake at present.

She grabbed Gu Ci's wrist and placed his palm closest to his heart.

Qi Zhao was quiet for a few seconds. After confirming that Gu Ci felt her heartbeat, she said, "You are Gu Ci."

"Gu Ci is a very good child, so you are too."

A female voice came into her ears, and she originally thought Gu Ci, whose wrists felt a little hot, was instantly distracted by the beating sensation coming from under his palms.

The surface of the palm of his hand seemed to be smashed into waves, and Gu Ci felt that his heart was beating so hard that it made his limbs stiff.

He had a lot to say at the moment, but when those emotions were still brewing, the person in front of him stared into his eyes and asked again: "Do you know?"

The tone of the person in front of him was soft, and Gu Ci nodded subconsciously in response: "I know. "

Under the paralysis of alcohol, my brain becomes a little dull.

Gu Ci reacted and was about to ask something when he heard the female voice speak again.

"Who is Shao Yixia?"

He wanted to express himself but was suddenly interrupted.

The whole draft was defeated the moment before it was released. Gu Ci seemed to be stuck, and suddenly didn't know how to react.

Especially after hearing Shao Yixia's name from the mouth of the person in front of him.

Qi Zhao, who originally wanted to use other people's names to confirm that there was no problem with Gu Ci's language system, saw that Gu Cixin was inexplicably raised when he suddenly fell silent.

It's bad. Gu Ci's brain must be bad because of drinking.

There's no way he doesn't know Shao Yixia, right?

Shao Yixia is the person who has the closest relationship with Gu Ci among the people he knows.

Qi Zhao went through the circle of friends between himself and Gu Ci again in his mind, and spoke again with a different person: "Where is Ye Zhiyuan?"

Gu Ci was silent for a long time this time, but finally spoke.

Although his tone was a bit awkward: "...Ye Zhiyuan is Gu, my assistant."

Gu Ci quickly realized his personal pronoun problem this time and changed it in time, and continued: "He was the founder of the second establishment in Linchuan The employees who have been employed for 20 years are very good and very responsible."

Qi Zhao was still a little worried when he noticed that Gu Ci changed his name while speaking. He asked someone to confirm, "Then who is Qin Zhuo? "

This is not Qi Zhao ? She mentioned Qin Zhuo on purpose, but the only intersection between her and Gu Ci was Qin Zhuo.

Gu Ci's expression froze when he heard the name "Qin Zhuo". When he spoke again, his tone and eyes became much stiffer: "Qiyin will be the next generation of heirs. He has a stubborn and willful personality, and his emotional needs are greater than the exchange of interests."

Qi Zhao returned. Before he could realize how Gu Ci came to such an official judgment, he heard him say something again:

"Currently, he is in love with Qi Zhao."

After Gu Ci finished saying this, he seemed to have not realized what he said. What happened, he still looked at Qi Zhao calmly.

Qi Zhao never expected to hear such a sentence from Gu Ci's mouth.

After Qi Zhao was stunned for a few seconds, he asked a bit dryly: "...Why did you know that Qin Zhuo and Qi Zhao were in love?"

In order to get the answer he wanted as objectively as possible, Qi Zhao also didn't consciously The names have changed.

Gu Ci's tone was still natural, and he said, "They said that."

"Them?" Qi Zhao subconsciously remembered the assists from the Film and Television Department that she had used when attacking Qin Zhuo, and she asked Gu Ci to confirm again, " Are you from Linchuan?"

Gu Ci nodded in affirmation.

The stone in Qi Zhao's heart fell to the ground. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to convey the information that she was single to Gu Ci, but after seeing his drunken state, she was afraid that he would forget it when he woke up.

Qi Zhao stared at Gu Ci, whose expression and eyes were a little dazed, and suddenly he had a plan in mind.

Although she didn't know how applicable the proverb "tell the truth after drinking" was, but what had been proven for thousands of years was always correct, right?

Qi Zhao stared into Gu Ci's eyes and asked the last question.

Her tone unconsciously softened, and she asked him: "Gu Ci, who is Qi Zhao?"

Gu Ci paused for an unprecedentedly long time after hearing this sentence, and frowned unconsciously at the end of his thinking.

In Gu Ci's silence, Qi Zhao became more and more expectant. She saw that Gu Ci struggled for a long time before moving his lips and said,

"I don't know."

"...I don't know?"

Qi Zhao was a little confused by this unexpected answer. Without thinking, she tried to guide Gu Ci: "Is Qi Zhao your employee?"

Gu Ci was stunned for two seconds and then nodded: "Yes, Qi Zhao is my employee."

After Gu Ci agreed, he said nothing. He wanted to speak again.

Qi Zhao looked puzzled. He didn't expect Gu Ci's opinion of him to be so brief.

Let's not mention Shao Yixia. He clearly has a high opinion of Qin Zhuo and Ye Zhiyuan. Why is there only one identity introduction left to him?

Shouldn't he be enlightened?

Qi Zhao refused to give up and continued to ask, "What kind of person is Qi Zhao?"

Gu Ci frowned slightly after hearing this, and the confusion in his eyes seemed to touch his blind spot.

Qi Zhao explained again: "What did you think when you saw her?"

After hearing Qi Zhao's words, Gu Ci lowered his eyes and thought carefully for a while.

Qi Zhao saw that he raised his palms and put them on his chest, stared into her eyes and said steadily: "When I see her, it will be very hot here, and the heartbeat will sometimes exceed the normal frequency."

"I started. I thought there was something wrong with my heart."

"But there is a pattern with this disease. I seem to have problems when I see her."

"...I don't know why this is happening, and I don't know if it's mine. The problem is still her problem."

Gu Ci's voice became softer as he spoke, and the palm on his chest gradually dropped.

When he spoke the last sentence, the confusion and confusion in his tone could be clearly heard.

The noisy voices at the banquet were diluted a thousand times when they reached the ears through objects and spaces. After removing the blurred sounds between Qi Zhao and Gu Ci, only the sound of each other's breathing was left.

Qi Zhao opened his lips and asked in Gu Ci's blank eyes: "...Do you want to know why?"

Gu Ci's answer this time had almost no time to pause or think.

He nodded with a firm look: "I think so."

Qi Zhao met Gu Ci's eyes and saw himself reflected in his pupils.

A gust of wind raised his hair and clothes, but did not blow away the words Qi Zhao sent to Gu Ci's ears.

Gu Ci heard her say very clearly:

"It's because I like it. Gu Ci likes Qi Zhao."

Qi Zhao kept observing Gu Ci's expression after saying this.

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes staring at him were obviously unfocused.

As if his brain was filled with unknowns beyond the scope of his understanding, Gu Ci's consciousness suddenly shut down.

The air between the two became quiet again, and the noise of chatter and laughter in their ears seemed to be silent for some reason.

Qi Zhao quietly waited for Gu Ci to think and digest this sentence.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ci blinked.

With his eyes focused again, Gu Ci suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Qi Zhao's wrist.

Just like what Qi Zhao did to Gu Ci just now, Gu Ci put her hand on his wrist again.

Under the palm of his hand was the warm back of Gu Ci's hand. When Qi Zhao was still wondering what he wanted to do, he suddenly heard him say: "I am Gu Ci."

"Gu Ci likes Qi Zhao, so I do too."

Qi Zhao suddenly said Stunned.

Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and her perception of her surroundings became less sensitive.

Neither Qi Zhao nor Gu Ci noticed that there were two people standing on the balcony not far away, staring in their direction.

Qin's mother couldn't help but raise her lips when she saw the two people's intimate movements. She looked at Qin Zhuo and sneered: "It seems that your sweetheart has a new boyfriend."

Qin heard this sentence which was half sarcastic and half joking. Zhuo just stared in their direction for a moment without saying a word.

Qin's mother raised her hand and took a sip of wine. She couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "It seems that your worries are unnecessary."

"It seems that even if I really deal with Qi Zhao, someone will protect her."

Qin Zhuo finally took action after hearing these words.

He looked sideways at Mother Qin with an unhappy expression.

Qin's mother was not angry at all when facing Qin Zhuo's expression: "Okay, put your eyes away. Since I promised you, I won't do anything to her again."

Qin's mother drank the wine in her hand. He handed it to the assistant who had been standing by and turned around to go back to the house to continue dealing with those communities of interest.

Before leaving, Qin's mother stayed beside Qin Zhuo for a few seconds.

The two stood facing each other, and Qin's mother turned her head and smiled: "Don't forget that you promised me to come back and follow the family's arrangements after filming the movie."

The sound of high heels hitting the ground gradually faded away. Go, there is only a chilly night breeze left on the balcony.
