“Tonight.” Qi Le said, “We'll go to the bar tonight and I'll help you find some. I'll grab my older brother for reference.”
Gu Bai nodded and continued to read. He got Qi Le to stop every once in a while since it was good to rest after studying for a long time. The whole day passed peacefully in that manner. In the evening, he went to a nearby supermarket to do some grocery shopping. When he came back, Gu Bai cooked while Qi Le fed the cat. He touched his son and said in a low voice, “Xiao Quan, Laozi has been fooled by him this whole time. How hateful.”
Xiao Quan ate in satisfaction, rubbing his paw on Qi Le, “Meow.“
“Now that I think about it, he also used to trick Laozi,” Qi Le looked at his son. “Tell me, how can I just stand it?”
Xiao Quan continued to rub against him, “Meow.“
“Be good, don’t persuade me. Even if you can stand it, Laozi can't,” Qi Le was unmoved. “Laozi will definitely not forgive him. Damn it! I'll make sure to settle all other accounts with him!”
After Xiao Quan was done playing cute, it looked at him innocently and bowed its head to concentrate on eating.
Qi Le continued stroking the cat. Then, hearing Gu Bai's voice from the living room, he went out and sat down at the table. “After dinner, let's go to the bar together. I'll help you look for a few cuties to enrich your boring life.”
Gu Bai didn't object. He ate in a good mood, then drove out with him.
Ning Xiao knew that Qi Le wasn't be working this week and that he would be studying. However, Ye Shuichuan and Shen Shu were there, so Qi Le would definitely drop by. Thus, he went to a bar for a drink these past two days. He didn't have a shortage of men around him, but he wasn’t interested in any new “prey.” These men who clung to him couldn't get his interest or attention. Recently, his private life was actually rather clean, which was a rare thing.
As usual, after going in, he looked at the bar and found that Ye Shuichuan and Shen Shu were there, but Qi Le was nowhere to be seen. He couldn’t help frowning. He sat down at the bar and took the initiative to ask, “Has he been studying recently? Why did he turn off his cellphone? “
After handing over his job to the new DJ, Ye Shuichuan was more relaxed. He looked at him and said, “Who knows.”
Baby Face, who was sitting next to his older brother, could clearly hear him at this moment and cut in with an expressionless tone, “Xiaoyuan gē is living with Gu Bai now. He definitely won’t come here.”
Ning Xiao was slightly shocked and looked at him coldly. “What did you say?”
Baby Face met his gaze, “Oh, you didn't know that they were living together ah.”
Ning Xiao’s eyes became cold, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw that Qi Le had appeared. Ye Shuichuan and the others also noticed that, smiling and waving at them to come over.
Qi Le greeted them, stood still, looked around, and pointed casually, “See, that cutie over there is quite good. Go.”
Gu Bai simply swept his gaze over the other party and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?”
“I'm sure,” Qi Le looked at him without any sincere encouragement. “You have to get out of the pain and forget the past. Go on then, you can do it.”
Gu Bai stared at him for awhile, nodded, slowly walked over and started talking. He soon sat down and was engaged in conversation, and looked like he was in a good mood.
Ye Shuichuan had a panoramic view of the whole process and was instantly shocked. He quickly pulled his little brother over, “What are you doing?”
“Introducing him to someone,” Qi Le looked around. “Look around, is there anyone else suitable?”
Ye Shuichuan looked incredulous and heartbroken at the same time. “You're not keeping such a good man., you're letting others have him? Are you a fool?!"
“It was he who wanted me to do this,” Qi Le gritted his teeth, thinking, Erquan, damn you! Since you want to keep pretending, then make sure you act till the end for Laozi!
He instructed Ye Shuichuan, “Go, call out all those little zeros. Laozi will help him hold a blind date meeting.”
“He asked you to do this?” Ye Shuichuan couldn’t understand what they were thinking.
“Yes.”
Ning Xiao heard their conversation and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Would you like some help?”
Qi Le nodded gladly, “Yes.”
Ning Xiao took out his cellphone and sent it to the group. He quickly put it away, feeling better. “They will be here soon.”
Qi Le muttered an "Mmm" and silently looked over to where Gu Bai was. Gu Bai had a smile on his face. The ambiguous lighting made his eyes look even more misty and gentle. The cutie over there quickly changed his position, scooting over to his side, almost leaning his entire body on Gu Bai but the latter's expression remained unchanged, not repeling the other's touch at all.
Fuck! He really knew how to act! Qi Le looked around again and said, “Get someone else.”
Gu Bai looked up and said, “Oh? Why?”
After speaking two sentences, this guy is all over you. You shouldn't get this sort of person ah… Qi Le pursed his lips. “I said get someone else, so just do it."
Gu Bai stared at him for a moment and nodded in good humor. “Sure, who then?”
“The one over there, see, the one with glasses.” Qi Le commanded.
Gu Bai grunted in agreement, got up and went over. Qi Le went back to the bar again. Ning Xiao looked at him and said, “You don't have to do so much. The others will arrive in a moment.”
Before Qi Le could speak, Baby Face suddenly looked up and said with a straight face, “This is obviously the case of someone throwing a tantrum in their little couple's quarrel. You actually believe it?”
Ning Xiao, “…”
Qi Le, “……”
Gu Bai sat on the sofa, keeping a position where he could sweep his gaze over the situation over there at any time. In fact, he only agreed with the proposal to see if Xiao Le would get jealous. If he didn't, then he would continue to work harder. If he did, then he could try getting a little "closer." But looking at the situation earlier, it seemed that… it looked promising?
Qi Le simply sat down somewhere and looked over again. Soon, he heard Ning Xiao’s voice, “They're here."
He turned around and saw a crowd of little zeroes swarming into the bar. They were all dressed up like vixens, as sexually provocative as one could imagine. He looked at them and then at the gentle Gu Bai. Suddenly, he fell silent.
Ning Xiao looked at him and asked, “Why?”
Baby Face didn’t wait for Qi Le to speak, answering for him. “I said you were gullible but you didn't believe me. He regrets it ah.”
Ning Xiao, “…”
Qi Le, “……”
