The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 290 My best friend, you smell so good

In Gu Li's villa, the party was gradually coming to an end. As the number of empty wine bottles increased, several people gradually became drunk.

But in comparison, half of the red wine and champagne went into Gu Li's mouth.

After all, she wanted to take this opportunity to get drunk.

There were so many depressing things that happened in the past period of time. Not to mention getting drunk here, she even wanted to move out. She always felt that this villa was a little weird.

But seeing the Times sisters reunited again, Gu Li no longer felt so sad when drinking.

"Gu Li, it's almost time to stop drinking."

At this time, Lin Xiao, whose face was also red from drinking, began to persuade.

At first, everyone was chatting and drinking as normal, but Gu Li suddenly looked gloomy and drank more and more by himself.

Several people guessed what had happened that made Gu Li like this, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, they just kept chatting about cheerful things. They wanted to make Gu Li feel better, but it seemed to make her even more depressed.

Hearing Lin Xiao's consolation, Gu Li blinked her eyes, held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and smiled: "It's okay, today... be happy, I'm fine now."

After that, she drank the remaining wine in the glass in front of her: "Look, I don't even stutter when I speak."

Having said that, everyone saw Gu Li's sometimes dazed look and gradually leaning body, and knew that she was drunk.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to turn his gaze to Jian Xi beside him and poked him to signal him to help persuade him.

The man who was still feeling Nan Xiang working overtime across from him remained expressionless. He coughed lightly, shook his head, and whispered in Lin Xiao's ear: "It's okay, let her drink. She'll feel better after she finishes drinking."

After a pause, Jian Xi continued, "Who can persuade Gu Li to drink? Not even Gu Yuan can do it."

"What are you two talking about?" Gu Li, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly shouted loudly, and said to Jian Xi and Lin Xiao, "By the way, what's going on between you two now?"

Gu Li's remaining rationality prevented her from continuing to ask what Lin Quan's current position was between the two of them. Has Jian Xi solved this problem now that she is with Lin Xiao?
The reason why she hadn't asked Lin Xiao about this before was because she didn't want to quarrel with her because of this matter. Anyway, Gu Li understood that her best friend would really die without a man, and what she said just now about her putting love before friendship was not just a joke.

The fact that Jian Xi cheated on her is already established. If she were to persuade her best friend to break up with him, regardless of whether Lin Xiaotong would agree or not, she had known Jian Xi for so many years and they had a close relationship, so she couldn't bring herself to persuade him to break up.

So Gu Li wanted to help Lin Xiao fight the mistress. Of course, good girlfriends should unite against the outside world!

As a result, Gu Li inexplicably discovered that Lin Xiao himself had lost his will to fight, as if all his desire to fight had been consumed in the first few days when Lin Quan came to his door.

Ever since Lin Xiao lived there with Lin Quan for a while, he no longer had any thoughts about fighting the mistress.

This made Gu Li, who was holding back his anger and preparing to do something big, quite disappointed.

If she hadn't gotten into trouble later and left Gu Li too busy to take care of him, she would have gone to meet Lin Quan, who dared to snatch a man from her best friend.

Now, Gu Li had fought with Yuan Yi and both were injured, so she had some free time. So after drinking a lot of wine, she finally couldn't help but ask.

But it wasn't too embarrassing to ask.

After hearing her ask this question, Tang Wanru, who couldn't help stuffing food into her mouth even though she had almost finished eating, and Nan Xiang, who persisted even though her legs were sore from overtime work, all turned their attention to this side.

They were actually very curious. Tang Wanru didn't get to know more from Lin Xiao, and Nan Xiang had completely forgotten about it.

Anyway, she sees Jian Xi every day on weekdays. When he is in Puxi, it has nothing to do with her. When he is in Pudong, it is her free time to do what she wants.

Lin Xiao's expression was a little unnatural when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. The dog man next to him thought about it and smiled and said, "It's nothing, everything is normal."

"Is it really normal? Jian Xi, you..."

"Okay Gu Li, you're drunk, so stop asking. Let's go to bed early, okay?"

Gu Li was about to continue asking when he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Xiao. Seeing the other party turning around and forcing a smile at him, blinking his eyes continuously, Gu Li opened his mouth and swallowed back the rest of his words.

"Okay, okay. I don't want to bother with you anymore." Gu Li curled his lips, drank the newly poured glass of wine, and then stood up with difficulty, supporting himself on the table.

"I'm going back to my room first. I had a lot of fun drinking today. Don't wake me up tomorrow even if something big happens."

After saying this, Gu Li seemed to have regained his former spirit. He held his head high, chest puffed out, and stared straight ahead with his eyes slightly narrowed. Then he raised his left hand and placed it above Tang Wanru's head as if to support her.

Jian Xi was stunned when he saw this and didn't understand what she wanted to do.

"Gu Li, you won't grow taller if you touch your head."

Tang Wan replied subconsciously while covering her head, and then Nan Xiang and Lin Xiao rolled their eyes at her.

Gu Li was also speechless, so Nan Xiang spoke up: "Tang Wanru, you've eaten so much that you've become stupid. Have you forgotten what you should do now?"

As she was about to pull her legs back and stand up, her face froze the next second. After glancing at the guy opposite her without leaving a trace, she turned sideways and whispered to Tang Wanru through her teeth, "Go help Gu Li."

"Oh oh." Tang Wanru, who was also a little drunk and a little slow in thinking, finally reacted and quickly stood up and supported Gu Li's hand, "I will take the master back to the room to rest."

Only then did Gu Li nod contentedly: "Xiao Ruzi, let's go."

Gu Li, who was now acting like a queen, staggered away with the help of Tang Wanru. Before leaving, she turned back and said, "Remember not to disturb my late sleep tomorrow!"

After Gu Li and Tang Wanru left, there were only three people left in the restaurant.

Two of them have something to hide, and one suspects that these two people have something to hide.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Nan Xiang, feeling more and more excited, pretended to be calm and said, "Lin Xiao, when are you going to rest?"

Before, she deliberately stretched her legs to Jian Xi's side to work overtime, but she had to maintain this action for a long time, and even though she insisted on practicing dancing every day, she couldn't hold on.

Fortunately, her boss became considerate at this moment and adjusted her sitting position so that she could put her legs on his legs, allowing her to work overtime more conveniently.

But just now when she was about to retract her legs and stand up to send Gu Li away, her foot had just been pulled back a little when it was grabbed by the other party and she was unable to move away.

Even though the man's hands were on the table, Nan Xiang knew that her feet were already trapped by him.

Now I couldn’t quit even though I wanted to, so I had to ask them when they were going to rest.

Hearing Nan Xiang's words, Lin Xiao turned around and asked, "Jian Xi, have you finished eating?"

The dog man who was slowly pouring wine for himself and Lin Xiao said with a smile: "What's the hurry? I still want to drink some, what about you?"

"I..." Lin Xiao touched his face. He felt a little drunk, but fortunately, he was in a very wonderful state of being tipsy.

So she smiled sweetly and said, "I want to drink some too."

"That's just right."

The dog man picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her, then looked at Nan Xiang opposite and said with a smile: "Nan Xiang, if you want to rest, go first, you don't have to wait for me and Lin Xiao."

"Yes, Nan Xiang, it's quite late. If you are sleepy, go upstairs first." Lin Xiao agreed. She was now hoping that her best friend would leave so as not to disturb her and Jian Xi's world of two.

"..."

Nan Xiang's mouth twitched, and a smile appeared on her face. "I'm not in a hurry. It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so I'll have a few more drinks."

After she finished speaking, she raised her glass to gesture, then took a sip with a smile.

But there was a hint of forcedness in this smile.

She could hear that her best friend really wanted her to go to bed early, but her best friend's man was just saying it.

Why don't you let her go by releasing her feet?

Nan Xiang put down her wine glass and was about to speak when the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Then she raised her eyelids and glanced at the bad man opposite her again and again, and her hand holding the wine glass tightened subconsciously.

She was wearing a long skirt and suddenly realized that her skirt was lifted up when the man opposite her was drinking. Then a foot began to rub against her calf. "Nan Xiang, your work schedule as an internet celebrity is different from your normal work schedule. Although tomorrow is the weekend, I remember that you should have something to do tomorrow in your work plan, right?"

At this time, Jian Xi, who had also put down his wine glass, spoke with a smile.

As soon as his voice came out, Nan Xiang's breathing stagnated and she almost groaned.

The bastard was still lifting his legs up while talking...

Nan Xiang never expected that the other party would start to do to herself what she had just done, but... this is not fair!

Even though Nan Xiang has gradually gotten used to Jian Xi's fever, in fact, until now, she has never even taken off Jian Xi's clothes.

She wet her boss's pants and he didn't even change them in front of her!
This made Nan Xiang feel a little frustrated when she occasionally thought about it. If she hadn't been able to notice Xiao Jianxi's reaction, she would have thought that her boss was impotent.

And the fact that she had worked overtime for so long just now once again proved that this idea was false.

It’s just... she was wearing pants just now, and now when Jian Xi reached out, she was not wearing leggings under her skirt, only a thin piece of cloth.

Is this fair?

"Nan Xiang? Your face is getting redder. Why don't you go and have a rest first? You really don't have to accompany us." Best friend Lin Xiao spoke with concern at the right time.

"No...it's okay."

Nan Xiang, her cheeks becoming increasingly flushed, forced a smile, then quickly took a sip of wine to suppress the expression on her face.

The dog man smiled, shook his head pretentiously, and poured some more wine for Lin Xiao.

But now Lin Xiao turned to him and said, "You just said Nan Xiang has work tomorrow? How can she shoot... shoot a video when she's so drunk now?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao had a strange expression on her face. Since she knew that her best friend was with Jian Xi, she asked directly about Nan Xiang's work.

At first, Nan Xiang was reluctant to say anything, but not only Lin Xiao asked, but Gu Li and Tang Wanru were also curious. In the end, she had no choice but to confess what video she had filmed.

To be honest, the three of them were stunned after seeing the video. They couldn't believe that the person in the video who was dressed as a non-mainstream dancer and dancing to the social dance was their good friend.

No matter how hard they thought, they could never have imagined that there would be such an internet celebrity, and their filters were completely shattered.

Especially Gu Li, she has always thought that Internet celebrities are like the big Vs on blogs, a kind of opinion leaders on the Internet, because she often publishes financial articles in "Dangyue Shijing", and she thinks she is also an opinion leader.

But now seeing her best friend causing such a terrible incident on the Internet, she simply couldn't accept it.

It was Nan Xiang who gave Gu Li a heads-up in advance, saying that she felt that the current state was fine and that she could just dance every day, and that the weirder the drawings were, the less likely anyone would recognize her. Only then did Gu Li hold back on her harsh words.

Gu Li even called Jian Xi to ask him why he wanted Nan Xiang to be such an internet celebrity, but Jian Xi shut Gu Li up with just one sentence.

"Making money, is that shabby? If you knew Nan Xiang's job before this, you wouldn't have called to say this."

Jian Xi didn't mention Nan Xiang's drinking habit. He just said this and didn't say anything else.

Gu Li was stunned for a long time. She didn't know that Nan Xiang was a drinking companion, but after hearing what Jian Xi said, she realized that Nan Xiang's life after graduation must be very hard.

And all this was caused by her that night.

So Gu Li stopped talking about it, just as long as Nan Xiang was happy.

They accepted it, but when they saw that Nan Xiang no longer looked like the goddess she usually was on the Internet, her girlfriends felt distressed and a little... wanted to laugh.

So when Lin Xiao mentioned this, her expression was not right, so she hurriedly said: "Jian Xi, can you ..."

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't give orders?"

Jian Xi interrupted Lin Xiao with a smile, and seeing that she wanted to say something else, she continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely approve her request for leave."

"That's good." Lin Xiaosong said, looking at Nan Xiang, whose face was getting redder and redder, almost catching up with the prawns on the table, and said worriedly, "Nan Xiang, your face is so red, stop drinking, and go to rest!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao was about to stand up and come over.

"Wait a moment!"

Nan Xiang immediately raised her hand to stop him, even her voice was a little distorted.

Seeing Lin Xiao, who was about to stand up, was forced to sit back down by her shout, she forced a smile and said, "I...I'll take a break first."

Not only was her face and neck red as blood, but her breathing also became extremely heavy.

After saying this, Nan Xiang lowered her head and straightened her back, as if she was fighting against the drunkenness, or as if she was welcoming the arrival of something.

She had already retracted her legs that were clamped by Jian Xi. At this time, Nan Xiang was sitting on the chair, her muscles tense and her legs together, but now it was her turn to clamp the other person's outstretched legs.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a dinner party and everyone had drunk a lot of wine, and if the blush on her face and neck and other abnormal reactions could all be explained by being drunk, she would have been exposed by now.

Alcohol is really a good thing. It can not only serve as an excuse after something happens, but also as a shield during the process of things happening.

The biggest scapegoat throughout human history is none other than alcohol.

But alcohol is both her success and her failure. If she hadn't been intoxicated by alcohol, her self-control would not have been reduced, and she wouldn't have shown those reactions now. Not screaming out was her last act of restraint.

In addition to having drunk a lot of alcohol before, when Jian Xi stretched her legs towards her just now, she kept drinking to ease the unnatural expression on her face, and ended up getting a little drunk.

Although alcohol reduces her self-control, it can also amplify her other senses. Otherwise, why is it said that alcohol is a catalyst?
Plus, my best friend was right in front of me, but I was under the table with her boyfriend...

A feeling even more stimulating than before in the office kept surging up, like a thousand ants gnawing at her heart. If she took off all her clothes like she did in the office, then you would see that not only would her whole body turn pink, but countless goose bumps would also appear on her skin like waves.

If you don’t know, you might think Nan Xiang is allergic to alcohol.

Just as Lin Xiao's face turned worried, Jian Xi, who had been drinking and smiling beside him, spoke up: "Nan Xiang, are you...allergic to alcohol?"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Her back, which had been straight just now, bent down, and she lay down on the table with her hands on her back.

"Nan Xiang has never had an allergic reaction after drinking before?" Seeing that her best friend was drunk, Lin Xiao answered for her, then stood up and walked around to the other side.

"I'm fine~" the drunk Nan Xiang replied lazily. Seeing her best friend coming over, she breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Snapped!"

Drunk people often have difficulty moving, and the same is true for drunk Nan Xiang. She accidentally knocked over the wine glass at hand, and the red wine spilled directly on her skirt.

"Nan Xiang, you still said you weren't drunk. I'll help you back to your room."

Lin Xiao came to her best friend and saw that her skirt was wet, so she quickly took her hand and helped her up.

"No, I can go back by myself, so I won't disturb you and Jian Xi."

After standing up, Nan Xiang pushed away her best friend's hand and smiled at her. Then she smiled meaningfully at Jian Xi who was sitting across the table, and staggered away on her weak legs.

Lin Xiao stared blankly at her best friend's back, always feeling that something was wrong.

My bestie smells a little... nice today?

“Dear, haven’t we been happy in Gu Li’s villa for a long time?”

The dog man's voice sounded faintly, bringing Lin Xiao back to his senses from his daze, and also causing Nan Xiang, who had just walked out of the restaurant, to almost fall to the ground.

'I wonder if the feeling will be as strong next time?'

This thought suddenly popped up in Nan Xiang's mind as her threshold was raised again.
