Chapter 948 - Little Prince of Love Songs

Chapter 948: Little Prince of Love Songs

Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong had just finished singing a song. They turned around to invite Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze to join them. Instead, they ended up witnessing a scene that stunned them.

Yin Shixiong dragged Zhao Liangze to sing with them and kept shooting looks at him. “Little Ze, you must’ve drunk too much! What silly gossip are you watching? Where’s the silly gossip?!”

Although Zhao Liagnze was not as keen-eyed as Yin Shixiong, he was usually smarter than other people.

However, today he seemed to know everything... except for one thing.

Stiffening his neck, he said to Yin Shixiong, “How did I drink too much? I only drank this little bit! What did I say wrong? Could it not be true...?”

His arms stretched as he gestured across from him.

Sitting on the couch across from him, Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi, and He Zhichu were all stony-faced as they watched him in silence.

Yin Shixiong was terrified by the look that Huo Shaoheng was giving him. He used even more strength to pull Zhao Liangze away. “Let’s go, let’s go! You’re not drunk! We’ll go sing! All those years ago, didn’t you say that you’d sing your girlfriend love songs all night when you finally got one? Our little prince of love songs?”

Gu Nianzhi laughed with a “Pftt–!”

As expected by everyone, she finally spat out a mouthful of tea.

“Why are you making a mess while drinking tea?” He Zhichu murmured as he smoothly picked up a tissue to wipe Gu Nainzhi’s face.

His movements were so fluid and natural, it was like he had done it thousands of times before.

Gu Nianzhi obediently angled her head upwards to allow He Zhichu to help her wipe her face. Her movements also seemed to be habitual.

Huo Shaoheng had just been looking at Zhao Liangze thoughtfully. Worried about his situation, he inadvertently slowed down for a second.

By the time he turned around, he discovered that He Zhichu was already helping Gu Nianzhi wipe her face.

It wasn’t like he could start a fight with He Zhichu in front of all these people...

After all, there were several people widening their eyes to watch the “silly gossip,” wanting all hell to break loose.

Huo Shaoheng pulled out a tissue to discreetly wipe the coffee table in front of him.

It had been splattered with water from the mouthful of tea in Gu Nianzhi’s mouth.

Pursing his lips slightly, his slender, powerful fingers slid over the coffee table to clean up the table’s surface.

He Zhichu threw the tissue away and cast his eyes towards the three people’s faces to quickly scan them. “You guys go sing.”

His tone was cool, yet it carried an invisible authority.

Yin Shixiong quickly pulled Ma Qiqi and Zhao Liangze by the hands to take them to the other side of the room to sing.

Zhao Liangze drank all the red wine in his glass, suddenly excited. He became a microphone hog and sang without stopping.

“I gently taste/You said you loved me/I’m still reminiscing your past tenderness/Gently taste/This fragrant temptation/You look like everything I love...” he sang along to Jay Chou’s “Sweetness.”

“Passing by your entire world/I have lived through the heyday/Please go forward/There is no need to turn back/The person waiting for you at the end, will be me/I hope that you’ll be the last person...” he crooned to “Who Listens to You in the World.”

“In the vast sea of stars/Persist in a dream/The warmth in your hands/I want to touch it badly/In the vast sea of people/Who did I meet/The tenderness in your eyes/Is everything all for me...” he belted out “To Meet You”

...

He kept singing and drinking. Finally, he was so exhausted from singing that his voice turned hoarse.

Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi could only serve as his background performers, so they kept pouring him more wine.

Gu Nianzhi was speechless from listening to this.

She had just graduated with a Master’s degree and also gotten rid of her two mortal enemies. Her mood was at an all-time high.

If someone started ruining her good mood, there was no question that she would walk away without saying anything.

But this was Zhao Liangze, the Brother Ze who had watched her grow up. So she only propped her head up with a fist as she watched Zhao Liangze with concern.

“What’s up with Brother Ze?” Gu Nianzhi quietly asked Huo Shaoheng. “Who did you see with him in the parking lot?”

Huo Shaoheng glanced at her. He didn’t want to gossip about his subordinate, but Gu Nianzhi’s gaze was too concerned. He gave it some thought before finally saying, “...Bai Yueran.”

“Isn’t that the person he was pining for? He finally won the beauty’s heart, so why is he singing these kinds of songs?” Gu Nianzhi was very confused.

He Zhichu leaned back on the couch and half-lowered his eyes as he replied dryly, “...Bai Shuang left too.”

That was a declarative statement, not a question.

Gu Niaznhi nodded. “When I went to order food for Huo Shao, Bai Shuang said she would go with me. But while I was ordering the food, she left...”

Gu Nianzhi instantly understood.

“Bai Shuang also went to the parking lot!” She covered her mouth with shock and shot a look at Huo Shaoheng. “Could Bai Shuang have seen it too?”

Huo Shaoheng contemplated for a second, then nodded slightly. “That’s more than likely.”

“Then it all makes sense.” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head with a sigh. “Brother Ze must’ve been intimate with Director Bai in the parking lot, and then Bai Shuang saw it. Afterward, Brother Ze discovered that Bai Shuang saw them in the parking lot... No wonder Bai Shuang was crying when she came back to grab her bag. I even said that we were having so much fun playing poker and asked why she stopped all of a sudden...”

As Gu Nianzhi was narrating this, Zhao Liangze so happened to finish singing a song.

In the quiet private room, her crisp and melodious voice suddenly echoed. It was actually quite awkward...

After Gu Nianzhi said this, she finally noticed everyone staring at her.

Although none of these people were outsiders, her face still flushed. She smoothed her hair with embarrassment and looked at Zhao Liangze to ask, “Brother Ze, is that it?”

Zhao Liangze snickered. He was already a bit drunk so he wobbled as he stood up to walk over to her. “You are a genius girl, after all. Although you didn’t see it for yourself, you are completely accurate! Come here, Brother Ze will make a toast to you!”

“She can’t drink.” Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu both said at the same time.

Yin Shixong and Ma Qiqi sat down on either side of Zhao Liangze. They stared at Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu flanking Gu Nianzhi like they were her guardians. They tried so hard to suppress their laughter that it nearly caused internal organ damage.

Gu Nianzhi felt even more embarrassed. She nervously laughed as she tried to give herself an exit strategy “...What they mean is that I still need to drive later, so I can’t drink.”

“You’re not 22 yet, so you can’t drink.” He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng said in unison once again.

Gu Nianzhi was silent.

Couldn’t these two speak kindly to her!?

Yin Shixiong and Ma Qiqi truly couldn’t stand it anymore. They hugged their stomachs, laughing so hard they collapsed on the couch.

Huo Shaoheng and He Zhichu both looked across the room expressionlessly.

“Qiqi, do you still want to take my class next semester?” He Zhichu asked, berating Ma Qiqi.

Ma Qiqi immediately wiped the smile off her face and straightened her back. She nodded seriously. “Of course I want to. Professor He, you must give me a spot in your class.”

There were limited spaces in He Zhichu’s classes next semester, so all the B University law students from undergraduate students to Ph.D. candidates were fighting hard to earn a spot.

If you want a spot, be careful with what you say. He Zhichu’s eyes said it all.

Ma Qiqi understood it clearly.

She quickly stopped laughing at Gu Nianzhi.

Huo Shaoheng also glanced at Yin Shixiong. “Big Xiong, you’re still suspended from duty. If you make another transgression, it’s a double sentence.”

Yin Shixiong’s smile also faded instantly. He earnestly expressed his stance. “Huo Shao, Little Ze is crossing the line. I’ll be sure to educate him properly when we get back.”

However, Zhao Liangze was very drunk. His beautiful eyes seemed to be covered in a hazy mist, making everyone look blurry to him.

He shouted, “Nianzhi! Have a drink with your Brother Little Ze! My little sister Nianzhi is the best, so obedient and caring! Huo Shao, you don’t treasure her enough! You don’t even know how lucky you are! I worked so hard to pursue my girlfriend, but all you had to do was beckon your finger at Nianzhi for her to go to you! Hmph! It’s not fair!”

Gu Nianzhi was stunned silent.

As if she was that easily tempted!

Gu Nianzhi became angry and was about to rebuke him.

Zhao Liangze then giggled as he pointed to Huo Shaoheng and said, “...That’s why you deserved to be dumped!”

Yin Shixiong, Ma Qiqi, and Gu Nianzhi’s faces all blanked instantly.

Only the corner of He Zhichu’s lips curled higher and higher. His shimmery, sultry eyes squinted as amusement seemed to burst from deep inside his heart.
