Gu Chengxiu saw Gong Cheng, and hurriedly pushed Tao Zhi aside, walking towards Gong Cheng. However, he slipped and fell backwards after taking just two steps.

Tao Zhi subconsciously threw away the champagne glass and caught Gu Chengxiu with his hands. For a moment, the scene appeared that Gu Chengxiu was hugged by Tao Zhi around the waist with one leg raised.

What kind of messed up Mary Sue plot is this! Tao Zhi's scalp tingled.

Tao Zhi quickly pulled back his hand and let Gu Chengxiu fall down. Gu Chengxiu grabbed Tao Zhi's tie in panic and pulled Tao Zhi down with him.

Tao Zhi saw that his face was about to touch Gu Chengxiu's, and his face was filled with fear.

Is this one of those melodramatic plots that is a must in every city: kissing after falling down?

Tao Zhi immediately lowered his head and forcibly turned the kiss into a bump into Gu Chengxiu's nose with his forehead, causing her nose to bleed.

Tao Zhi rubbed his forehead and sat on the ground. Gu Chengxiu covered his nose and rolled over howling. Seeing this, Gong Cheng hurried over.

Gong Cheng squatted down and pulled Gu Chengxiu to sit up. Gu Chengxiu was already crying in pain and blood was running down her fingers.

Gong Cheng took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and gently wiped Gu Chengxiu.

"Brother Gong Cheng, I'm afraid I won't survive." Gu Chengxiu howled.

"Don't talk nonsense, get up first, I'll take you to deal with it." Gong Cheng said gently.

"My heel is broken." Gu Chengxiu pouted.

Gong Cheng had no choice but to put his hand through Gu Chengxiu's waist and pick him up by the waist.

Tao Zhi, who was also sitting on the ground rubbing his head in an embarrassed manner, stopped rubbing his head and stared blankly at the whole process of Gong Cheng coaxing Gu Chengxiu, feeling a slight pain in his heart.

The gentler Gong Cheng's voice was, the more pain Tao Zhi felt in his heart.

Tao Zhi watched Gong Cheng stand up, and Gong Cheng's eyes fell on Tao Zhi for a moment.

Just this one look.

"Hate value +1, accumulated hate value 1 point."

"Friendly reminder, the previous target values ​​for hatred and humiliation have been confiscated and cleared, and the scores are now being recalculated." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Gong Cheng hugged Gu Chengxiu and turned away.

Tao Zhi's eyes turned red unconsciously.

What? During the three years abroad, my hatred and humiliation values ​​didn’t increase at all, only my love value increased dramatically. My hatred value increased by one point just by looking at me when he returned to China.

Because I just teased that Gu Chengxiu and hurt her?

Tao Zhi felt an unbearable blockage in his throat, his eyes were hot, and he felt very aggrieved.

Gong Cheng was so skilled in coaxing Gu Chengxiu and hugging her, as if he had done it a thousand times.

If it were before, Gong Cheng would gently rub my forehead and ask me if it hurt, but now I am no longer worthy of Gong Cheng's gentle treatment.

Tao Zhi's mouth drooped.

A man was walking past the balcony while eating dessert. He had already passed by, but suddenly looked back.

"Brother Tao?"

Tao Zhi looked up when he heard the voice, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Lang Bushin in front of him.

Lang Bushin walked towards Tao Zhi with a smile.

"Brother Tao, it's really you. Why are you sitting on the ground? There is a sofa where you can sit." Lang Bushin said as he pulled Tao Zhi's arm, and Tao Zhi stood up.

"Are you also here to attend the dinner on behalf of your family?" Tao Zhi asked, suppressing his emotions.

"No, no, no, Brother Tao, you are too superficial. I am here today as the host." Lang Bushin pretended to be mysterious.

The two sat on the sofa.

"What do you mean?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Hehehe, I'm Gu Dongnan's assistant now, and this dinner is organized by Gu Dongnan." Lang Bushin said.

"You have been in contact with Gu Dongnan all these years, right?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Of course, we are best buddies." Lang Bushin turned up his nose.

"When did he come back?" Tao Zhi asked.

"I returned to the country half a year ago." Lang Bushin replied.

Tao Zhi lowered his eyelashes, picked up the glass of champagne in front of him and took a sip, then was silent for a few breaths before speaking.

"What about Gong Cheng? When did he return to the country?" Tao Zhi asked.

Lang Bushin was stunned when he heard this and scratched his hair in confusion.

"Brother Tao, have you seen Gong Cheng?" Lang Bushin felt a little guilty.

"Yeah." Tao Zhi replied.

After hearing this, Lang Bushin knew there was no need to hide it anymore, so he just spoke.

"He just came back two days ago. We went to the airport to pick him up and had hotpot together." Lang Bushin said.

"Who do you mean?" Tao Zhi raised his eyes.

Lang Bushin realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and let out a hiss.

"Just me, Zhang Miaoyu, Brother Xu, Qiao Mu and a few others..." Lang Bushin's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"Except for me, everyone in the small group knew about this, and we all went to the airport to greet them." Tao Zhi's heart sank.

"Brother Tao, don't get me wrong. We didn't hide this from you on purpose."

"Isn't this because you and Gong Cheng had a bad relationship back then? We don't know the reason, and you've always been unwilling to tell us, so we can only guess that you were the one who cheated on Gong Cheng."

"Gong Cheng is our friend after all. We will definitely invite him to celebrate when he returns to China. The main reason we didn't invite you is because we were afraid of embarrassment and that you two would be unhappy on the spot."

"We don't want to turn this into a weird situation since it's just a happy occasion." Lang Bushin explained hurriedly.

Tao Zhi fell silent after hearing this.

Only you are excluded by your friends and become the one who spoils the fun.

Tao Zhi was a little dazed for a moment. Such a long time had passed that he almost forgot that this was not his world and he was not Tao Zhi.

I almost thought I had blended in.

But in fact, I am essentially an existence that is excluded from this world.

Now I feel aggrieved because they didn't invite me to the dinner together. It's so hypocritical.

Lang Bushin saw that Tao Zhi's face turned pale, his expression was gloomy, and he became a little flustered.

"Brother Tao, don't think too much. We don't mean to stop you from playing. Really, we are just afraid that it will be embarrassing for you if you meet Gong Cheng." Lang Bushin explained.

Tao Zhi withdrew his thoughts, the ripples in his eyes dissipated, and his gaze fell on Lang Bushin.

"You are right. It was indeed me who cheated on Gong Cheng." Tao Zhi said.

Lang Bushin was startled when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Tao Zhi patted his knees and stood up, looking down at Lang Bushin who was still sitting on the sofa.

"It's nothing more than not loving you anymore, there's no need to ask so many questions."

"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm full and ready to go home." Tao Zhi said in a hoarse voice.
