Chapter 46: You're still young, you can't drink alcohol

  Aunt Lan thought for a moment, seemingly recalling the location of the bookstore: "Alright... I remember that the bookstore is quite close to the bus station, so be careful on your own."

  "Yes."

  After greeting Aunt Lan, Qin Nian Ge shouldered her backpack and went out the door.

  Although it is impossible for members of the Zhang family to take a bus when they go out and come back home every day, the transportation around here is very convenient.

  Before being adopted by the Ye family, Qin Nian was just an ordinary single-parent child and would certainly not be unfamiliar with buses as a means of public transportation.

  After leaving the house, she took a bus and got off after two stops, getting down familiarly from upstairs.

  However, she did not enter the bookstore near the bus stop, but walked a distance and entered a small photo studio opposite the hospital.

  As soon as she went in, she took out the photo from her backpack's diary and asked the approaching boss: "Sir, can you help me laminate this photo?"

  "Of course!" Although business was slow, the owner of the photo studio also had a smile all over her face. She took the photos from her hand and looked down at them.

  At the thought of that kiss being exposed under the other person's gaze, Qin Nian Ge's face suddenly turned bright red, and she looked down, too embarrassed to say another word.

  But the boss had a calm expression: "Ha, little girl, don't be embarrassed, dating is normal. Your boyfriend is handsome and you two look loving. You wait here for a moment, I'll go in and seal it for you."

  "Thank you boss." Qin Nian Ge lowered her head and thanked the boss.

  But her lips couldn't help but curve into a bitter smile.

  Are you very loving?

  That's just an illusion, though.

  It was just a small matter of laminating, the boss didn't spend much time on it, and in just a short while, Qin Nian Ge had paid the money and walked out of the photo studio.

  With that layer of transparent plastic wrap, their photos looked much thicker.

  Qin Nian Ge cherished the tall figure on the screen, and a genuine smile spread across her lips for the first time since yesterday.

  With this, photos will definitely be kept for a longer time.

  Qin Nian Ge lightly bit her lower lip, raised her head to put the photo back in her backpack, but unexpectedly saw a tall and straight man walking towards her from across the street.

  The man had apparently also seen her, with a hint of surprise in his expression, but he quickly smiled and nodded at her.

  "Jun... Jun Xiuge." Qin Nian Ge's face suddenly turned red.

  She certainly wouldn't forget what happened the last time they met, and thinking of how she had lost face in front of him made her want to crawl into a hole.

  Gu Xiu saw her blushing and knew what she was thinking.

  Although Gu Junxiu had never been interested in men and women, after all, he had been the crown prince for a long time and had seen many scenes with friends when they went out together.

  What Lai Ruo Yan did that day was actually nothing much.

  But he didn't want to make her feel embarrassed again.

  So Gu Junxiu just smiled at her and was about to brush past her.

  But before he even took a step forward, his gaze inadvertently fell on the photo she was holding in her hand.

  It was actually just a very ordinary glance, but Qin Nian Ge's guilty conscience made him jump at his gaze, and he subconsciously wanted to hide the photo behind his back.

  The more nervous she became, the more flustered she got, and before she knew it, her fingers loosened their grip on the photo. The freshly laminated photo slipped from her grasp and landed with a soft thud in front of Gu Junxiu.

  Gu Xiu didn't want to make her so tense again, but he also couldn't pretend that he hadn't seen the photo fall in front of him.

  He bent down and picked up the photo, subconsciously glancing at the image on it, but his expression was dazed for a moment.

  Is this... a photo of her and Yuè Yì together?

  As he saw his gaze fall on the photo, Qin Nian Ge's face changed color, and the red glow on her face faded by more than half.

  At this point, how could Gu Junxiu still not know what caused her face to change color?

  He curled up the corner of his lips, turned the photo over, and handed it to Qin Nian Ge with the back facing upwards.

  Although he just wanted to brush past each other directly, both of them stood facing each other for so long, it really didn't seem right to part ways without saying a word.

  "Didn't you have class?" If he wasn't mistaken, Qin Nian Ge was still wearing her school uniform the last time they met.

  She was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans today, still full of student spirit, but she was still lingering outside at a time when she should be in class.

  Qin Nian muttered under her breath and nodded slightly: "I... I'm currently studying at home."

  Actually, Qin Nian Ge originally wanted to say that Li Xue Yi let her study at home, but thinking again that Gu Jun Xi knew about her relationship with Li Xue Yi, she changed the words on the tip of her tongue.

  But Gu Junxu was so clever that he roughly guessed what had happened when he saw her stuttering.

  He nodded: "I still have something to do, see you next time."

  "See you next time!" Qin Nian Ge and the others had been waiting for this sentence with great difficulty, hastily turning back to speak, and then quickly turned around and ran towards the distance.

  Gu Junxiu wiped the smile off his face, looking thoughtfully at her gradually disappearing back, but his mind couldn't help but recall the scene he had just seen in the photo.

  He had grown up with Lai Ruoying since childhood, and he had never seen him look at anyone with such focus.

  Is he really just treating Qin Nian Ge as a plaything like he said?

  The encounter with Gu Junxiu this morning should only be an episode for Qin Niange, although it was very embarrassing, but thinking that she would not meet him frequently in the future, she still forced herself to put the matter behind her mind.

  After finishing her afternoon studies, Qin Nian Ge took the initiative to enter the kitchen and cook with Lan's mother in order to avoid continuing to think wildly.

  Although she didn't know if Lai Rongyi would come back or not, she still involuntarily made the walnut shrimp balls that Lai Rongyi had ordered last time.

  Just as the dish was freshly cooked, Qin Nian's phone suddenly rang.

  She wiped her hands and took out her mobile phone to take a look, it was actually Su Zhiwei who called.

  Because of the relationship between Li Xue and Yi, as soon as Qin Nian Ge thinks of Su Zhi Wei, she can't help but feel a twinge of guilt. However, when her phone calls come in directly, Qin Nian Ge doesn't dare not answer them.

  After a slight hesitation, Qin Nian Ge slid the screen, answered the phone and put it to her ear: "Zhi Wei Jie, what's up?"

  Su Zhiwei's voice was slightly low, and she urgently spoke to Qin Nian Ge: "Yu Yi is drunk, I don't have the strength to support him back by myself, can you come over and help me?"

  Hearing her words, Qin Nian Ge couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Drunk? How can you get drunk so early?"

  It's only around 6 or 7 in the evening, even if Lai Ruoying really drinks, he shouldn't be drunk to the point of needing two people to support him at this hour.

  Moreover, if such a thing happened, shouldn't Su Zhiwei seek help from Xiang Yun rather than Xu Yunkuan?

  Hearing her doubts, Su Zhiwei's tone suddenly became a few degrees colder: "What? You think I'm deceiving you?"

  "Of course not! You... where are you guys now? I'll be right there!"

  "Come quickly to Jintang Club, I'll have someone meet you at the entrance." Su Zhiwei said before hastily hanging up the phone.

  Qin Nian's eyebrows furrowed tightly as she stared blankly at the gradually darkening phone screen, and the doubts in her heart still hadn't dissipated.

  "What's wrong? What happened?" Lan Aunt came in from the kitchen and couldn't help but ask when she saw her looking worried and staring at her phone.

  Qin Nian Ge hastily put away her phone and shook her head at Lan Auntie: "Nothing, it's just that Yu Fei Ge seems to have gotten drunk, Zhi Wei Jie asked me to go help bring him back."

  "Her?" A hint of doubt flashed across Lan's face, "Young Master, you're a grown man, what can you do there? Otherwise, why don't you call Assistant Xu and have him go over instead."

  Although what Lan said was clearly a good method for Qin Nian Ge, she thought of Su Zhiwei's tone just now and couldn't help but shake her head: "Forget it, I'll go over first and take a look. I'll eat when I come back for dinner. Aunt Lan, there are already enough dishes, you can rest first, if anything happens, I will call Assistant Xu, don't worry."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Nian Ge patted Lan's arm, then took off the apron on her body and quickly grabbed her bag and went out the door.

  Although she had hardly ever been to such an entertainment venue, with Jinzun's reputation, it was easy for her to find a place.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, just as she arrived at the entrance, a boy wearing a waiter's uniform came up to her and asked if she was Miss Qin.

  Qin Nian Ge nodded timidly at him and was soon led by him into the inner room.

  It's obvious that Lai Yongping usually comes to a place that is not as messy as the usual small shops. The decoration in the shop is quiet and deep, and the customers are all in their own private rooms. Qin Nian Ge basically didn't meet many people on this road.

  The waiter led her to a door and knocked on it. After hearing the permission to enter from inside, he turned around and left.

  Qin Nian Ge recognized that it was Su Zhi Wei's voice, so she stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door open.

  But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he opened the door, the first thing that caught her eye was Su Zhiwei leaning into Li Xue's arms and kissing him passionately.

  Qin Nian Ge was stunned on the spot, feeling a cold wind blowing down from above, so cold that her heart trembled into a ball.

  She stared blankly at the two people who were lost in their kiss, her eyes couldn't hold anything else, and her mind was repeatedly left with only one sentence.

  He kissed her, he kissed her, he kissed her...

  "Niang Ge, how did you get here?" A simple sentence that simultaneously startled three people.

  Qin Nian Ge's whole body shook, and he looked in the direction of the sound. Only then did he realize that opposite them, Gu Junxiu was sitting lazily.
