As soon as Chen Anchen saw her looking like she was getting angry, he imdiately grabbed Jiang Zixuan and stepped forward to smooth things over. "Of course, we were complinting you! Don’t mind him, that’s just how he is, not good at talking to girls. Saying you resemble Rong Yan is definitely a complint. Rong Yan is his goddess! That guy is just a simp, everyone looks like his goddess to him. I think you’re much prettier than Rong Yan!"
Pfft!
Feeling the sour thrill of soone praising you to your face, saying you look better than yourself, she didn’t know whether to be angry or happy.
But before this, it seed that a cocktail had choked her throat.
All because Chen Anchen blurted out "XX goddess."
As she was blushing and coughing, suddenly a glass of water appeared before her. Rong Yan looked up in surprise, and following the hand that offered the water, she realized it was Gu Zekai, who had been quiet all evening.
She reacted quickly, took the water and said softly, "Thank you."
After giving thanks, she didn’t forget to ’bashfully’ lower her head and curve the corners of her mouth, sipping water from the cup in a restrained manner.
Gu Zekai’s lips curled up, a spark of interest flickering in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows in an intentionally suave manner, "No need to thank ."
He’s always liked the type of girls who can exude charm with a touch of innocence, but such types are rare to find. Those who can be enchanting usually can’t pull off innocence. The ones who try to play the innocent card often overdo it, acting like combat-ready fem fatales, wishing even their water-drinking could exhibit proper upbringing, like a goody-two-shoes girl.
Coming to Lan Feng for fun, yet still playing the fool, as if unaware of the world, it got to the point where he lost interest in coming here to flirt.
He’s been busy lately and didn’t feel like coming out, but Jiang Zixuan and Chen Anchen kept calling him. He had already turned them down three or four tis and was afraid they might hold it against him if he refused again, so he reluctantly showed up. Before coming, he made up his mind to just sit for a bit and then leave. Chen Anchen had previously been up to coming here to pick up girls, and he did not want to at all, but who knew this girl was even more exceptional than they said.
He had been observing her from the side all this ti, and although the lights in the bar were dim and her face was partially covered by a feathered mask, he could tell, with his discerning eyes, that this girl was definitely not lacking in looks.
Firstly, a woman with those eyes, as long as her features aren’t misplaced, couldn’t possibly be ugly.
Add to that the delicate chin line and petal-soft lips, he was sure she was a great beauty.
He had seen plenty of beauties, and relying on his handso appearance, there were not a few won in his circle who threw themselves at him.
But it was his first ti seeing a girl who so fitted his aesthetic.
Even though he knew he should stay low-key these days and avoid trouble if possible, he still couldn’t help the itch in his heart. After holding back for a long ti, when he saw the beauty choking on water, he still couldn’t resist offering a glass of water—
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
Jiang Zixuan and Chen Anchen both sensed that the ’atmosphere’ between the two was a bit off and fell silent in unison.
On the contrary, Rong Yan, who had not been very proactive all evening, took the initiative to ’flirt’ with Gu Zekai, "I accidentally choked just now, thanks for your water, or I would have really embarrassed myself."
"It’s a small effort, you’re welco. Besides, it’s a guy’s duty to co to a girl’s rescue," he said.
With that, Rong Yan indeed bowed her head and ’shyly’ giggled.
Gu Zekai felt triumph inside, yet his expression did not show it, leaning on his chin with even more of a peacock’s pride, deliberately smiling mischievously, "What’s the na of the beauty?"
