Now that she and Lu Shiqian had agreed to postpone the divorce, Gu Nian no longer thought about it too much and just hoped that the last few days could be spent peacefully.
However, Lu Shiqian still went out early and came back late, so the two of them rarely met each other.
After work that day, Gu Nian took the initiative to invite her colleagues out for dinner.
She had been quite embarrassed because of the delay because of Avada last time.
It was still early after dinner, and my colleagues were having a good time, so I suggested that we sit at a nearby bar.
Gu Nian naturally didn't want to spoil the fun, there was nothing wrong with relaxing anyway.
The atmosphere of the bar has always been strong. Under the loud music and dreamy lights, everyone relaxed quickly, and Gu Nian was no longer so restrained.
"Come on, come on, let's get some wine!"
Male colleague Zhou Yu poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of him.
When it was Gu Nian's turn, she waved her hands repeatedly, leaned forward and said loudly: "...I can't do it, I can't drink, you drink."
Zhou Yu raised his voice and said: "It doesn't matter, let's go out to play. Having fun is the most important thing. Drink as much as you can."
Li Xin also chimed in, "Yes! Let's have a drink together."
Gu Nian said awkwardly: "I think you won't say that when I'm really drunk."
After she finished drinking...she was a little speechless.
Everyone made a few more jokes one after another, and everyone had a glass in their hands.
It was hard to reject the kindness, so Gu Nian had no choice but to give it a go.
Everyone drank together for two rounds, and then began to toast Gu Nian one by one, welcoming her to join the design department.
Xu Yang kept looking at her, and when he saw this, he gave her a bottle of mineral water, "How is it? Is it okay?"
Gu Nian whispered: "If I drink more, I'll drink too much...I'll act crazy when I'm drunk!"
Xu Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter what you are like, I will send you home safely."
Gu Nian curled her lips at him helplessly: "Forget it, just think that I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman today."
After all, she was new to a group and she didn't want to seem too out of place.
After drinking for a while, Gu Nian felt that a certain string in his mind flicked, as if it was on the verge of breaking.
I felt dizzy, wanted to laugh unconsciously, and started talking more.
The colleague next to her had already started dancing to the music. When Gu Nian saw this, he stood up and pulled her directly onto the dance floor.
In the booth behind the dance floor, Lu Shiqian raised his head and drank the last sip of wine in his glass.
He looked at his watch, stood up and picked up his coat, "It's almost done today, let's go."
Song Yao stood up and looked around with some unfinished thoughts, "You said what's the point of going out with you every time? We just break up like this after drinking. This game is too plain!"
Lu Shiqian ignored him, turned around and walked outside.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute..."
Song Yao reached out to hold his hand, stared at the middle of the dance floor and said uncertainly: "Do you think I'm dazzled? Why do I feel like the girls dancing there look like your Gu Nian?"
Lu Shiqian paused slightly, turned around and followed his gaze, and instantly frowned.
——The one twirling around in the middle of the dance floor is Gu Nian.
This was Gu Nian's first time disco dancing, and he wasn't very good at it. He could only dance to the rhythm.
The alcohol had already surged to the top of her head, and the muggy air in the bar made her face flush.
She didn't notice at all that Lu Shiqian was opposite her, staring at her with a worried expression.
"No, no, no... I'm going to vomit..."
This dance was a bit forgetful, and Gu Nian was so dizzy.
Xu Yang moved over and reached out to help her: "Do you want to go to the bathroom? Let me help you go?"
Gu Nian was already a little confused, and looked up with a silly smile, "Oh, thank you, senior!"
Xu Yang's heart trembled because of her smile. He quickly turned his head away and carefully supported her towards the bathroom.
From Lu Shiqian's perspective, he could only see Gu Nian smiling at the man, and then the two of them hooked up... and headed towards the bathroom.
"Ouch, tsk tsk!"
Song Yao didn't notice Lu Shiqian's gloomy face and tight jawline, so he put his hand on his shoulder and started joking.
"Your little Gu Nian is not easy, he is so fast! He has found a spare tire even before the divorce."
Lu Shiqian lowered his eyes and glanced at him sideways, and Song Yao shuddered unconsciously.
If he was about to say something else, Lu Shiqian had already taken away his hand and followed him towards the bathroom.
Xu Yang happened to help Gu Nian to the door of the women's restroom and asked worriedly, "Can you go in alone?"
"Okay!" Gu Nian nodded, "I'm fine!"
Xu Yang felt relieved when he saw that Gu Nian could at least stand upright and his eyes were clear, and entered the men's restroom.
Gu Nian stood there and fainted for a few seconds before closing the bathroom door and walking inside.
There was an ambiguous sound coming from the cubicle near the door. Gu Nian's brain was a little mushy now, and it took him a while to react strangely.
Then he awkwardly walked to the back of the room.
When Lu Shiqian came over in three steps and two steps, he only saw the closed door of the bathroom.
He frowned and took a step forward. At this moment, the background music in the bar just switched to the next song.
In that blank second, Lu Shiqian heard a faint sound coming from the bathroom.
He blinked in disbelief, and then a surge of rage surged into his heart.
Gu Nian... what is she doing? How dare she?
Lu Shiqian raised his hand, couldn't hold it back, and hit the wall hard.
The pain calmed him down, his knuckled fingers slowly clenched, and a colder and colder whirlpool rolled up in his dark eyes.
After a while, the bathroom door was opened from the inside.
Gu Nian just vomited into the toilet for a while, but didn't spit it out. She felt that her whole head was filled with blood.
At this time, her little face was flushed, and her eyes were covered with a layer of intoxicating mist.
And those lips, which were always red, were stained with a few wisps of moisture.
When Lu Shiqian saw her like this, the cold light at the end of his eyes became even colder.
He laughed angrily and stared at the drunk woman in front of him without blinking.
Gu Nian took two steps forward before noticing him, and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
Before Lu Shiqian could speak, he saw her shaking her head again and muttering in confusion: "Hey... did I drink too much and hallucinate? How strange! Even if I suddenly saw Lu Shiqian, how could there be two...
"
Lu Shiqian's Adam's apple moved up and down, and then he raised his hand to lift Gu Nian up.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Gu Nian was carried on his shoulders, and her stomach was churning.
She struggled on her hands and knees, "Who are you! Put me down quickly! Be careful I spit on you!"
Lu Shiqian sneered, "Shut up."
Although Gu Nian was drunk, the voice was so familiar that she could tell who it was no matter what.
So she stopped struggling. Her remaining subconscious felt that this man seemed very angry.
Lu Shiqian walked very quickly, and when Xu Yang came out of the bathroom, he only saw their backs in the distance.
He recognized the clothes Gu Nian was wearing, but the man didn't look like any of his colleagues who came today.
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to chase after him.
But after chasing him out of the gate, he didn't even see half a person.
He quickly took his cell phone and called Gu Nian. He called Gu Nian several times but no one answered.
Xu Yang looked at the unreachable phone and felt irritated.
The man who took Gu Nian away...he always felt that the figure from the back looked familiar.
