Staring at the wine glass held in mid-air by the red shirt, the Holy Son said nothing.
She originally planned to stand in front of Gu Xing and help him solve the trouble at hand - because if she wanted to come, the wine glass handed to her by Hong Shi would be difficult to handle.
It’s not the case if Gu Xing takes it, it’s not the case if he doesn’t.
If so, with Gu Xing's principled and bottom-line character, he would probably never drink from the cup that Hong Shi had drank from. What's more, Hong Shi's approach was too deliberate and ambiguous. He couldn't put the cup away.
Move it aside and use a new one.
If you don't answer, the other party is the chief of the superior department after all, so it's not a good idea to completely deny face.
But just when the Holy Son was about to stop Gu Xing, he suddenly thought: Why should I refuse the red shirt for Gu Xing?
At least for now, she is not Gu Xing's girlfriend. She is not even a romantic partner. Colleague? Neighbor?
No matter from which angle she looked, she had no position to make decisions for Gu Xing. This was really an embarrassing situation of neither being better nor worse.
Moreover, judging from Hong Shi's appearance, it seems that he has dug a hole here waiting for her.
If the Holy Son rashly stands in front of Gu Xing, what should he say? How should he say it?
"Why should Gu Xingjun use the cup you drank from?" It seemed that she was too shameless.
"Let's change Gu Xingjun's cup too." The subtext is that he is not hygienic... he seems too ungrateful.
"Isn't it too much for Mr. Red Shirt to do this kind of thing of using power to suppress others?" It's also inappropriate.
Taking the cup before Gu Xingjun... it was too abrupt.
I accidentally fell forward and knocked the cup to the ground... It was too deliberate. Moreover, with the red shirt's hand, it was impossible for the cup to fall to the ground.
In any case, before Shengzi became Gu Xing's girlfriend, saying these words and doing these actions seemed reckless and frivolous.
Shengzi knows that her city is not deep enough, but in any case, she has also experienced a lot in her position as a police officer, and has seen all kinds of people and things, so she can more or less see that the red shirt is standing where she is digging with her own hands.
It's a good pit, waiting to see your own joke.
If Shengzi really fell into the opponent's trap so easily, then her rank is too low. Not only does she deserve to be looked down upon by the red shirt, but she may also be given a low score by Gu Xingjun.
Thinking of this, the Holy Son calmed down.
What to do at this time.
The Holy Son chose to trust Gu Xing, believing that Gu Xing could handle the matter properly, without being rude and very measured; he could not only keep his bottom line, but also preserve the face of his superior.
Since he is the man he likes, he should be able to handle this kind of situation, right? Otherwise, how could he be worthy of her falling in love at first sight?
That's exactly what it should be.
After thinking about it like this, the Holy Son stood calmly and looked at Gu Xing with a smile.
On the other side, the red-shirted man glanced at the Holy Son with his peripheral vision, showing a slightly surprised expression, but then calmed down inadvertently.
Gu Xingze didn't notice the tangled state of mind on the Son's side at all.
His attitude at the moment was very clear - first of all, there was no way he would drink from a wine glass that Red Shirt had drunk from. This kind of thing was too ambiguous.
Moreover, there is still red shirt's lipstick mark on the rim of the cup...
The two people are not husband and wife, nor are they boyfriend and girlfriend. Doing so is almost equivalent to admitting that the two people are at least ambiguous or in a relationship.
Gu Xing is a bit of a straight man, but he's not so careless that he doesn't even notice this kind of thing.
[Take it over and drink it. It’s just a lipstick mark with a faint lingering fragrance. What are you afraid of? 】
The little hole started to stir.
【You were not so courageous before】
"before?"
[Uh...when you faced weird things in the past, weren't you always very courageous? You weren't even afraid of death, you were afraid of lipstick marks]
[Anyway, hurry up and take the wine glass. No matter what, you can't let a beautiful woman who has a great crush on you stand in the middle of the road, right? This will make you look very ungraceful]
Gu Xing simply ignored the small hole.
Of course, it is not appropriate to directly refuse the red shirt.
After several bizarre incidents involving taxis, Qiu Hui, and Zaohui, Gu Xing had some interactions with Hong Shan and discovered that this female investigator, who was originally thought to be arrogant and arrogant, actually has a heart of integrity and hatred of evil.
It is also very consistent with Gu Xing’s three views.
Moreover, behind the stinging and poisonous tongue, Hongshan also had an unknown soft spot hidden deep in her heart, which also greatly changed Gu Xing's impression of her.
Not that I like it.
But in short, I won't be as disgusted as at the beginning, so there is no need to get too stiff with the other party.
Many things in life can be handled in a smooth and gentle manner as long as you use your brain a little bit. Why do you have to embarrass each other?
Looking at the wine glass in Hong Shi's hand, Gu Xing thought for a moment and had already thought of a countermeasure——
He planned to take the wine glass, but at the moment of handing it over, the wine glass could accidentally fall to the ground, become dirty and smashed, and Gu Xing would no longer be able to use it, and Hong Shi would not feel that he had lost face, killing two birds with one stone.
With this thought, Gu Xing reached out to take the wine glass.
At this moment, all the eyes in the room turned towards Gu Xing, Hong Shi, Seiko, Haye, Fujino, Eijiro...
Grandma came back at some point and looked over with interest.
Only Yosuke is still playing Go.
The moment Gu Xing's hand was about to touch the wine glass, the red-shirted wrist shook imperceptibly.
Naturally, her index finger and his middle finger touched lightly.
Time stopped at this moment, as if there was an electric current flowing between their fingers.
The red shirt's hands are very cold.
Hayae rushed forward instantly and tried to separate the two people's hands, but to no avail.
"Crack!"
The cup fell to the ground and broke.
But Gu Xing hasn’t touched the cup yet...
After the cup fell to the ground, the two people's fingers separated.
"Ah, what a pity,"
Hong Shi blinked at Gu Xing, "Gu Xingjun is not destined to use the same cup with me. Miss Shengzi should get us a new one."
The glass fragments of the cup were scattered on the floor, and Gu Xing had to bend down to pick up the fragments.
It is simply a master among masters, almost disappointing.
Shengzi took a deep breath and found a new cup expressionlessly, one for Gu Xing and one for Hongshan.
Calm down first. The night is still very long tonight, and whoever scores first may not have the last laugh.
After watching the fun, the weird people who were watching also left.
Only Haye got a mat from somewhere, sat next to Hong Shi, and stared at the other person.
"ah--"
The Holy Son whispered, suddenly walked to Gu Xing's side, and carefully held up his right hand, "Why did your finger get scratched..."
As he spoke, he blew gently on his finger that had a small cut.
Hong Shi couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Because his fingers touched Gu Xing's, the Holy Son must also touch Gu Xing's hand if he wants to regain his position.
She is still a little girl after all, and her counterattack method is still at a very low level——
Just like a child, if you touch me, I will touch you back. If you push me, I will push you back. I won’t suffer any loss anyway.
For a moment, Hong Shi felt a little bored.
If I were to confront the Holy Son like this, it might turn into a one-sided massacre.
When the time comes, she will inevitably soften her heart.
Then don't fight a protracted battle, find an opportunity at the right time, KO the opponent, and let her give up neatly.
Thinking of this, Hong Shi picked up a glass of wine and put it into his mouth quite lonely.
"If this continues, the wound will become inflamed."
The Holy Son said, taking Gu Xing's injured finger into his mouth...
