He couldn’t hold back anymore and said to Su Qiuge, “Xiao Su, I’m going to the bathroom. If someone comes to hit you up, just ignore them.”
Su Qiuge nodded her head.
She quietly sat in her seat and swiped her phone. After a while, she noticed that the people performing on the stage seemed to have changed.
After a DJ with blooming flowers tattooed on his arm and wearing a pair of sunglasses appeared on the stage, the style of the music changed. The flowery arm made the atmosphere even more lively under the flashing lights. For a while, countless people responded enthusiastically.
And then, the sharp-eyed Su Qiuge suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person near the DJ mixer who was hidden by the darkness behind the person with the flowery arm.
His figure was beautiful and he wore a loose t-shirt with a pair of burgundy headphones hung around his neck.
When the flowery-armed man talked to him in a low voice, he lifted his jaw slightly, drawing a beautiful arc within the flashing of light in the dark. His lips that appeared somewhat red also hooked up slightly, as if saying something.
Even though she couldn’t see his eyes clearly, Su Qiuge still knew that it was Xie Xinglin.
Su Qiuge supported her chin as she thought to herself, why did it feel like whenever she met him, his character design was falling apart?
His character design of being someone who excelled in morals and studies, as well as someone who was both sophisticated and reserved, had all collapsed.
Sure enough, maybe he really was a gangster?
It seems like everyone she knew were all full of individuality.
There was another problem.
Just why did he try so hard to find all these jobs? Was it simply for fun or were there other reasons?
Su Qiuge stared at Xie Xinglin as she let her thoughts wander. When she realized that she had been watching him the whole time, a faint ray of light happened to sweep across the darkness near the DJ mixer, illuminating Xie Xinglin’s eyes for a split second.
She then discovered that he had actually been quietly watching her for some time.
The beating drums and electronic music within the nightclub seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Through the constant flashing lights on the goblets, it passed over the noisy men and women.
The light shone into his eyes that resembled a dark river, one where all the emotions were submerged within its darkness.
Su Qiuge’s heart suddenly missed a beat.
But before she could react, a few people arrived at her booth and blocked her line of sight.
They seemed to be here to hit her up.
“Beauty, isn’t it boring to sit alone?”
Su Qiuge’s face was cold. She shook her head and said, “I’m waiting for someone here.”
But the group of people obviously did not want to give up. One of them even sat down next to her, carrying a cup of wine, “Big brother invites you to have a drink.”
Su Qiuge declined several times. But when she realized that the person showed no sign of giving up even in the face of death, she couldn’t help but curl her hands into a fist. She resisted the urge to directly shout, and good-temperedly said, “No need, my boyfriend will be here soon.”
That person smiled and wanted to scoot closer to her, “Really, when is your boyfriend coming?”
Almost as soon as his voice fell, the back collar of his clothes was grabbed by someone with great strength as his entire body was dragged away from Su Qiuge.
His throat was painful from the tug and he turned around in time to see a youth standing next to the booth.
The youth had a pair of burgundy headphones hanging around his slender neck. There was a cold expression on his face as he held onto his collar. He lowered his eyes and said to him in a threatening tone, “Stay away from her.”
The man was frightened by the momentum, so he said as a final battle cry, “I-I know.”
As if noticing that Xie Xinglin’s expression wasn’t quite right, the group of people also didn’t get too entangled. They directly left.
But right before they left, the person who’s collar was grabbed by Xie Xinglin, turned around and looked at her coldly. This made Su Qiuge furrow her brows slightly.
Xie Xinglin folded his hands and leaned lazily on the seat. After the group of people left, the hostility and tension on his body dispersed, and his expression became very casual.
