Novel Full Chapter 161: Took The Initiative to Call Her
They went back with a box of fruit-flavored beer from the counter.
The flavored beer came in bottles.
It had low alcohol content that could not instantly get you drunk, but after having plenty of bottles to drink, one would feel the alcohol kicking in.
Yu Bao’er finished three bottles in a short time. After having so much to drink, there already was a blank look in her eyes.
Her cheeks were visibly flushed. Although she kept a sliver of consciousness, she looked no different from someone who was drunk.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t dare to drink the flavored beer, afraid that her older brother would notice.
Even if its alcoholic content was minimal, it still contained alcohol.
If she drank alcohol, she figured her older brother would give her a good beating.
But since Yu Bao’er kept saying how yummy it tasted, and the fact her relatives were egging her on by the side, Gu Qingjiu took a small sip.
After a sip, she realized that it tasted pretty good, and she couldn’t resist downing a small glass.
Gu Qingjiu thought it was no big deal at first, but she had underestimated the aftereffects of the drink.
Although she felt sober, her face quickly heated.
Even her head spun a little, but it was tolerable. Afraid her older brother would find out later, Gu Qingjiu stayed in the suite and kept slapping herself, hoping the effects of the alcohol would go away.
Yu Bao’er and her relatives, on the other hand, were having a ball of a time singing.
Gu Qingjiu knew she couldn’t sing to save her life, so she wisely didn’t go up to sing.
But then again, she was feeling stuffy in the suite; perhaps she needed some fresh air to sober up.
Hence, she opened the door and went outside.
The minute the door closed, deafening music escaped outside.
It wasn’t as warm in the lobby as in the suite, and the air felt much cooler. This made Gu Qingjiu, whose cheeks were feeling hot, feel much more comfortable.
Her gaze turned towards the spiral staircase on the right side of the lobby.
And she wondered why the Chief Instructor was with that group of people.
Those middle-aged people even looked familiar.
And it also made Gu Qingjiu wonder if they were from the military, or perhaps officials from somewhere.
After all, people like the Chief Instructor would get to see people that normal civilians usually don’t get to see.
Just then, Gu Qingjiu saw someone walking down the stairs.
He looked rather familiar.
So familiar that Gu Qingjiu felt like her eyes had turned to ice that instant.
The person coming down the stairs was Su Lingche.
His frame was as thin as before.
Not firm and muscular like soldiers.
Exuding a gentle and elegant aura, the way he walked down the stairs resembled an elegant son of a rich family.
But underneath that refined appearance, perhaps a heart that had long turned into a hypocrite hid.
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t as surprised to run into the Chief Instructor as she was to run into this person. This was truly a doomed affinity.
Her brows furrowed, and she initially wanted to go back in the suite immediately.
But Su Lingche had already noticed her. Not wanting the man before her to feel there was anything unusual with her, Gu Qingjiu retracted her gaze and walked towards the adjacent suite.
“You…”
Surprisingly, the person behind her called out to her.
In the empty corridor, his voice was obvious.
So obvious that Gu Qingjiu couldn’t even pretend she didn’t hear him.
Her body turned stiff. Quickly though, she composed herself and turned around calmly, as though nothing had happened.
A hint of doubt clouded her face as she cocked her head.
