The top floor of the mall is a formal wear store, but he can't afford it.
Gu Xinglan led the people to a small alley next to the mall, where there were affordable dress shops.
When they came out, Gu Xinglan was wearing a beige linen suit, the kind worn by wedding emcees, and sneakers, while Li Hetai was wearing a beige suit, the kind commonly worn by flower girls.
"How is it? Does it fit?" He tilted his head to take a look.
I saw that Li Hetai had a very unhappy expression on his face, and his face was very long.
As if it were an illusion, when he looked more closely, the other person calmly looked back at him, still clutching the corsage.
With a few tearing sounds, the plastic corsage was instantly crumpled into a ball.
The force was neither too light nor too heavy, as if it were mocking.
The man threw the plastic flowers directly at him, and the few plastic flowers rolled to the ground.
"..." Gu Xinglan frowned.
After picking up the broken flowers from the ground, when I got up again, the other person had already crossed the street.
This child's patience is getting weaker and weaker.
Sometimes he would give him a hard time during meals, not to mention that when he tucked someone in with a blanket in the middle of the night when it was cold, the person would slap his hand.
He would even be more than ten minutes late coming home from school, and then they would lock him out of the house when he got home at night.
But sometimes, he is puzzled by the body language this person uses, whether it is sitting or sleeping, even though the body language is telling him that it means closeness.
Strangely, when he cursed at the person, the duration didn't increase, but when he tucked the person in, the duration actually increased considerably.
System: [The standard for increasing the duration of a task target is definitely not based on affinity; that's the business of the strategy guide team next door, not ours.]
Favorability rating? That's an absolute joke.
He had never thought about that.
……
As the sun sets and night falls, the western side of Wushui bids farewell to the last sunset glow, while the city's neon lights illuminate the scene at the same time, creating a bizarre and dazzling spectacle.
As luck would have it, it was this five-star hotel again.
The last time Lu Yinian treated him to dinner, he also mentioned this high-rise building.
Just in time, Li Hetai was also with him.
Unlike last time, neat ice sculptures were placed on both sides of the hotel entrance. The melting ice water flowed down the slope of the steps to the huge fountain pool behind it. The lights inside the fountain pool shone on the luxury cars parked on both sides, one after another, overwhelming the senses.
Gu Xinglan stood at the bottom of the dozens of steps, staring blankly at the revolving glass door above.
Suddenly, a force appeared in his sleeve, pulling him outwards.
He turned his head and saw Gu Xinglan raise an eyebrow.
Some impression.
"Hey bro, we meet again."
"you are?"
The newcomer was wearing a conspicuous designer logo shirt, with an extremely thin waist, and his long legs were trembling slightly, as if from the cold.
“My name is Xiao Cai Bu Cai, that’s my stage name.” The other person smiled slightly, pursing their lips. “You can call me Xie Bian too…”
By the light of the hotel, I could make out the appearance of the person who came in, and the image instantly flashed into my mind.
"I'm an internet celebrity, and it's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I have a favor I'd like to ask you for." Xie Bian lowered his head, then slightly raised his eyes to look at him.
Those eyes held an indescribable pitifulness.
However… Gu Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the faint mark on the other person's neck.
There was a thick layer of powder on her neck, but now that we're up close, what else could that mark be but a rope binding her?
A sense of crisis suddenly arose.
Gu Xinglan's brow twitched, and she shook her head: "I have important business to attend to right now, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
"You haven't heard what I'm busy with yet."
The strong scent of perfume filled his nostrils. He held his breath slightly, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, please find someone else."
"wait."
The sleeve went from being grabbed to being pulled, and then to being held tightly. The other person came very close, almost touching his nose.
“Meng Guanhe, I’m here to see Meng Guanhe. You know him, right? I just need to see him once.”
After saying that, the man slammed his head against Gu Xinglan's left shoulder with great force. Gu Xinglan couldn't help but hiss and his gaze involuntarily drifted downwards.
Then I saw the other person biting their lip, their right hand trembling as they unbuttoned their collar.
From his perspective, the densely packed traces were clearly visible.
Gu Xinglan's pupils contracted instantly, and her movement to push him away stopped abruptly.
"I'm desperate, I can't contact him, I've been squatting here for over a month..." Tears slowly welled up in Xie Bian's eyes. He stepped back a little, his eyes red as he looked at him, and said in a trembling voice, "Just help me get in, you won't lose anything. If I get kicked out, they won't blame you..."
Gu Xinglan took a deep breath and turned her face away: "What do you want with him?"
"I want him to help me. He's the only one who can save my grandma right now."
Seeing the person in front of him begin to soften, Xie Bian took up that flawless white hand and held it pleadingly.
Time stood still.
Finally, Gu Xinglan shifted her gaze slightly, trying to find a certain figure from behind.
But Li Hetai just vanished into thin air.
"Let me help you."
A child's voice rang out, but it wasn't Li Hetai's.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a child getting off the black, shiny Aston Martin not far away.
The child's hair was all combed upwards, leaving not a single stray hair, and his eyebrows and eyes were raised high.
Geng Yi, her eyes sparkling, fixed her gaze on someone.
His eyes were filled with that flaxen color, making him easily recognizable. In just a few months, his face had almost become demonic, completely captivating everyone's gaze.
But the beautiful figure was completely unaware of it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, both overt and covert, he even showed a slightly bewildered expression, like a hook that made people unable to resist.
He shouted, "Big brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the covetous gazes disappeared, and Geng Yi ran over as if declaring it his possession.
"Big brother! Catch me!"
He rushed over and hugged the person tightly around the waist, inhaling the familiar yet unfamiliar sweet scent.
"I've sent you so many messages and made so many phone calls, but you haven't replied to a single one!"
The original owner's phone was long gone, not to mention that the phone number he used for filming the show was provided by Li Taihe.
Gu Xinglan smiled awkwardly, her lips moving for a long time without uttering a single word.
His eyes would occasionally glance around.
But the next second, the person in his arms grabbed his tie.
Geng Yi was somewhat dissatisfied, his eyebrows and eyes drooping, and his mouth pouting.
"Okay, not long or not."
Under those hopeful eyes, Gu Xinglan could only say helplessly, "I changed my phone number."
System: [Host, the duration has not decreased.]
The fact that the duration did not decrease proves that Li Hetai is nearby, but he cannot see him.
Gu Xinglan tried to push away the arm that was restraining her waist, but all she got in return was a tighter and heavier force!
It was so tight he could barely breathe!
The other person was completely clinging to him.
"hug me."
Geng Yi said in a serious voice, his eyes wide open, looking only at someone.
Her slightly reddened lips, her gentle breath, and her star-like eyes began to flutter wildly as he held her tightly around the waist... No matter how you looked at her, you couldn't get enough.
For the past few months, he's been trying to find this hard-won toy, but he's encountered problems everywhere. He even tried to lock onto the person's phone using his computer, but the location was in another city...
