Soon it was the day of the dance.
In the evening, Lin Xiaodong changed into a Chinese red cheongsam suitable for attending a dance with the skills of [one-click dress-up]. It was paired with a pair of stiletto red high-heeled shoes. The style was very trendy, and the cheongsam was decorated with lace and pearl buttons.It stands to reason that a normal man should be embarrassed to wear this kind of clothes, but maybe he has gotten used to the women's clothes these days. In short, Lin Xiaodong not only doesn't feel anything, but even thinks it looks good.
System: "As we all know, there are only zero times and countless times for women's clothing."
Lin Xiaodong reacted quickly: "Zero? I don't want zero, I want one."
system:"…………"
It's hopeless, take it away.
But out of a system of professional ethics, he still reminded Lin Xiaodong: "Don't forget to complete the task, the places you go to for free clinics are too far away, you can't meet the key characters in the plot, and you can't get their good person cards .”
"know."
Lin Xiaodong had a premonition that this dance would definitely not be as peaceful as Gu Xingzhai expected.
"Miss, the car is ready and parked at the door."
Hearing the voice of the housekeeper at the door, Lin Xiaodong responded, got up and walked out of the room.
An old-fashioned dark green jeep was parked at the entrance of Gu's mansion, and there were curtains on the back seat to cover it up. Gu Xi closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, still wearing his same dark-colored long gown.
Hearing the figure opening the door, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look, but when he saw Lin Xiaodong's attire today, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes involuntarily.
After all, the youth is a man disguised as a woman, and his actual height is much higher than the average height of women in this era. Coupled with the blessing of high heels, he looks taller and slender.The soft and plump red lips raised slightly, making his skin whiter and more delicate, and the tear mole under the right eye is the finishing touch. Although it does not have the exquisite and petite feeling, it is a little more glamorous. Queen temperament.
Gu Xingzhai stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly beckoned a servant to come over, lowered his head and gave him some instructions.Lin Xiaodong thought he had forgotten something, but a few minutes later, the servant carefully ran over with a red velvet box and handed it to him.
"what is this?"
Lin Xiaodong opened it curiously, and found that it contained a round and full-colored pale gold pearl necklace, and at the bottom was a dark green emerald, which was about the size of an egg, and it was very valuable at first glance.
He looked up at Gu Xingzhai, the man passed him and picked up the necklace from the box, and tied it around Lin Xiaodong's neck carefully.
"This is left by my mother," he whispered, "don't think too much, I just think you need a piece of jewelry that can stand up."
But Lin Xiaodong didn't show any expression of being offended, just smiled and said thank you, then yawned, rested his head on the car window and took a nap.
Gu Xingzhai sat back to his original position, looked at the silhouette reflected on the car window, and closed his eyes to rest after a while.
As for what he thinks in his heart, only men in this world know.
For tonight's dance, Master Huang specially dressed up.
He put on a thick layer of pomade, put on the latest tuxedo, and looked left and right in the diorama, feeling very satisfied with himself.The owner of the tailor shop who came to deliver the clothes to the door also praised repeatedly: "It is indeed Mr. Huang! Even a foreigner can hardly hold up such clothes. Mr. Huang is the only one I have ever seen in my life who can wear a tuxedo so elegantly." number one!"
"Stop flattering, it's not so exaggerated." He cursed, but Mr. Huang stroked his beard and showed a very useful smile on his face, "But your clothes are really good, come here, reward me!"
He glanced at the mirror one last time, took out a golden pocket watch from his breast pocket, and looked at the time. He guessed that several important guests should be entering the venue soon, so he called his aunt who was waiting next to him to go downstairs to greet him. .
With Mr. Huang's official position and status, he didn't need to go out to receive guests in person so graciously, but among the guests who came today was a beauty whom he had been thinking about day and night for a long time, and a master with extraordinary skills, So he finally decided to go out and have a look.
"Mr. Wang and Ms. Yu are here!"
"Mr. Zhong and Ms. Zhang are here!"
"Mr. XX brought Ms. XX to..."
On the surface, Mr. Huang smiled at the guests, but he was already a little impatient. The concubine next to him snorted softly, and said to him proudly in a white fox fur shawl, "It's all a pile of mediocrity. Vulgar fans, no one can see it."
"That's it," Mr. Huang put his arms around her waist, and pinched her chin frivolously, "how can these women compare with you."
Before he finished speaking, the doorman standing at the door suddenly shouted in a stuttering voice:
"Gu, Mr. Gu and Miss Lin are here!"
Everyone who was toasting and chatting at the round table looked outside in unison.
On the red carpet at the door, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked slowly towards them with their backs facing the bright headlights.
The man is wearing a traditional ink-colored long gown, on which the dark embroidered cloud pattern appears and disappears with his walking pace. It is matched with a white inner layer, and the neckline has been buttoned to the top, but it is not bloated. , but because his straight back and steady steps give people a sense of calmness that does not match their age; the woman attracts the attention of all men and women the moment she gets off the car, with soft waves draped over her shoulders, like It was a red rose in full bloom. She was slender and tall wrapped in a cheongsam, with smooth and graceful curves. Her exposed calves were white and slender. A pair of red high heels seemed to be stepping on Mr. Huang's heart.
He unconsciously rolled his throat, and even ignored the angry gaze of his aunt beside him, and immediately greeted him with a bright smile: "Welcome, welcome! Miss Lin's arrival really makes the humble house shine!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled at him, and took Gu Xingzhai's arm beside him in front of everyone.
Master Huang's face froze, who didn't know the relationship between the two?The lie was spread a thousand times and it became true. He looked at their intimacy in disbelief, and said awkwardly, "Miss Lin, what are you...?"
"She is my dance partner tonight." Gu Xingzhai said in a deep voice.
"Haha, it's good, it's good." Mr. Huang, who didn't achieve his goal, looked a little ugly, so he had to laugh a few times to perfunctory his way.The other people at the banquet also looked at them and whispered to each other. The man shook his head regretfully, while the woman looked disdainful.
"Look at them," Lin Xiaodong picked up a bottle of red wine from the tray, shook it lightly, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's really interesting to think that you have grasped the truth and start pointing at others."
Seeing that his expression was normal, Gu Xingzhai felt relieved.
"You don't need to pay attention to these people," he said coldly, because he has seen too many of them over the years, "They are no different from the idlers in the city and the countryside, except that they have changed into taller and nobler skins. "
"You're right." Lin Xiaodong toasted him, "So, for our rare consensus, cheers?"
Hearing the young man's smiling voice, Gu Xingzhai's indifferent expression couldn't hold back immediately.He reluctantly raised his glass, touched Lin Xiaodong briefly, but still reminded him, "Don't drink too much."
"I know, like an old lady."
Lin Xiaodong rolled her eyes at him in an unladylike manner, let go of his hand, and ran to other tables to find snacks to fill her stomach.Gu Xingzhai stood there with a stiff face, and suddenly heard a laugh from behind: "Miss Lin is really temperamental, Brother Gu, you are so lucky."
Gu Xingzhai's expression quickly returned to his usual indifference.
He turned around and saw a young man in an off-white suit standing behind, looking at him with a teasing smile. He looked like a trendy person who had returned from studying abroad, and looked a little like Mr. Huang.
Gu Xingzhai thought to himself, this should be his eldest son, Huang Jianshu.
Huang Jianshu shook his wine glass, and said with great experience: "Brother Gu, is he not very good at getting along with women? Women, you still have to be coaxed and pampered. You have to be gentle. If you force yourself to control too much , but it will make them rebellious. Just like a bird in a cage, it will fly away if you don't pay attention."
"Thank you, Young Master Huang, for your advice." Gu Xingzhai said lightly.
"You don't believe me?" Huang Jianshu smiled, walked up to him, and stood beside Gu Xingzhai.
Ignoring the man's slightly frowned brows, he turned his head to Gu Xingzhai and said, "Since this is the case, Brother Gu shouldn't mind if I invite Miss Lin at the ball, right? I don't believe the rumors outside, Brother Gu can sit up straight when he sees it." You are a decent person, but judging from my many years of experience, you must have not chased Miss Lin, so I said," under Gu Xingzhai's increasingly cold gaze, his eyes flickered, and the smile on his face deepened, "We How about a fair competition between the two?"
"...It's up to you, I won't accompany you." Gu Xingzhai said coldly, "But let me explain in advance, she is not a woman who will be easily moved by sweet words."
"is it?"
Huang Jianshu raised his eyebrows high.
Looking at Gu Xingzhai's leaving back, he suddenly sneered and drank the red wine in his glass.
"Why are you pretending to be a saint?"
Before Huang Jianshu was sent to study abroad by Mr. Huang, he was a well-known playboy. Not only that, he was also a double, and he had slept with as many as [-] men and women.For Lin Xiaodong, he is bound to win.
On the other side, seeing that the guests were almost here, Mr. Huang clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and after delivering a simple speech, he loudly announced the start of the dance.A soft female voice with a little noise came from the record player, and the men present stretched out their hands to their female companions and slid onto the dance floor in twos and threes.
Seeing this, Gu Xingzhai also bowed slightly towards Lin Xiaodong, extending his hand to invite him to join.Under the envious and jealous eyes of other men around, he held Lin Xiaodong's hand, swaying and moving slowly with the music, changing dance steps.
"They're all watching you."
Gu Xingzhai lowered his head and looked at the beautiful face in front of him, who was only a short distance away from him, and said in a low voice involuntarily.
"I know," Lin Xiaodong also followed his example, smiling and moving his lips lightly, and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Let them see, anyway, I'm only dancing with you alone."
The man was silent and did not reply.
As agreed before they came, Gu Xingzhai let go of his hand after a dance.But Lin Xiaodong noticed that the man's earlobe had already been dyed a layer of crimson, he seemed really shy.
The system sincerely said: "Let's start a class."
Lin Xiaodong is not modest: "There is no way, it is born."
In fact, it was also because he knew the person in front of him too well. If a stranger came, it might not have such a good effect.
They just danced a song and grabbed the attention of the audience. There is no way, the handsome man and the beautiful woman are a natural couple standing there, who doesn't like to watch it.So even though he was slandering in his heart, the audience around him still applauded respectfully.
Seeing Gu Xingzhai coldly leaving Lin Xiaodong alone on the dance floor and leaving alone, several men even glared at him, thinking that he was too ungentlemanlike.But then, all the men in the audience started to move, including Mr. Huang, who was absent-mindedly dancing with his concubine.
The aunt who had been stepped on several times by him turned pale with anger: "What's the matter!"
She stomped her feet, and was so angry that she found a reason to go back to the room to rest, out of sight and out of mind.
Before the next dance started, Huang Jianshu straightened his neckline against the glass cabinet by the wall, cleared his cough, walked up to Lin Xiaodong before all the men, and bowed politely to him, with a kind of let The scalp-numbing aria asked, "Ah, beautiful lady, can you dance with me?"
Lin Xiaodong: "..."
There was a smirk on his face, and he wanted to refuse, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed the calm and indifferent eyes of someone outside the crowd, but he was actually nervous and focused. His eyes flashed, and he changed his mind immediately.
"Okay," he said briskly, "but I don't know how to dance this kind of dance, so please bear with me."
"It's okay!" Huang Jianshu was overjoyed, "I'll take you!"
The moment Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand, Gu Xingzhai's hand holding the cup was instantly clenched.
The hand was so strong that it even made the glass creak under the weight.
The man gritted his teeth tightly, thinking that this demon is indeed full of lies, just now he confessed to him affectionately, saying that he only danced with him, and then turned around and started making out with others... Shameless!
Gu Xingzhai's breath was stuck in his chest, he couldn't get up or down, but his face became more and more cold on the surface, he didn't even look into the dance floor.The ladies who were originally attracted by his tall figure and handsome appearance and wanted to invite him to dance together suddenly stopped in their tracks and dared not go forward.
Some wives who were jealous of Lin Xiaodong's appearance took the opportunity to whisper to their girlfriends: "Look at her, even the dance partner doesn't want to see her, so what are you proud of?"
"Although these two seem to be a good match, one is a wife and the other is a young master. There is a whole generation behind them."
"That's right, men like young ones. Maybe it took a whole night to convince Young Master Gu to bring her here. And I see Young Master Gu as a gentleman, so I don't think he's the kind of person who would do that kind of thing." .”
And the men began to doubt their previous judgments—could it be that these two people are really just a simple dance partner relationship?
Otherwise, why did Lin Xiaodong dance with others, but Gu Xingzhai still looked indifferent?
"Sit still in your arms, you are a role model for me." One person sighed.
And Gu Xingzhai, who already had excellent hearing ability, turned black immediately when he heard this sentence.
Master Huang, who was preempted by his son, also felt very upset. It was obviously the woman he fell in love with first, but as a son, he robbed Lao Tzu. What is this called?
But after all, he was his own son, and it was hard for Master Huang to say anything in public, so he could only laugh dryly at the teasing eyes of the people around him, and suffered from being dumb.
The concubine went upstairs, and he was not in the mood to invite other women to dance. Master Huang glanced, and suddenly saw one of today's protagonists in the corner, and immediately walked there with a smile: "Master! When did you arrive? I thought you weren't coming!"
"Master Huang," the man in the gray cloth jacket who looked a bit out of place in the magnificent hall didn't pay attention to his greetings, but stared solemnly at Lin Xiaodong's direction and asked with a frown, "that woman who is it?"
Master Huang, who had touched a soft nail, twitched the corners of his mouth, not without envy, he said: "Lin Xiaodong, a member of the Gu family. Master, have you taken a fancy to her too?"
"That's not it, it's just..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a scream from the dance floor.
"What's wrong!!??"
Mr. Huang was startled, and saw a middle-aged man collapsed on the floor with his eyes closed, his face flushed, and his body trembling violently.The gentlemen and ladies around were so frightened that they dispersed one after another, and no one dared to step forward, for fear of losing their lives.
As the organizer of the ball, Mr. Huang naturally has to take on this responsibility.He bravely walked to the side, pinched the man's chest, and shouted: "Go get a doctor!"
"I... I'm going right away!" The door boy turned pale in fright and ran away in fright.
"It's too late," a calm voice suddenly came from the crowd, "I'm the doctor, let me take a look."
Under everyone's attention, Lin Xiaodong pushed aside the crowd and stood up on his own initiative.
At this moment, Mr. Huang couldn't care less about being jealous or not. Although he was a local official, the people present were all big families who were either rich or noble. He had just arrived and had to rely on their support to gain a foothold.Seeing Lin Xiaodong kneeling beside the patient, he hurriedly said gratefully: "Miss Lin, quickly, help me find out what happened to him?"
Lin Xiaodong frowned and asked the system to help him detect it, and found that this person suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease, probably caused by too much intemperance in his daily life.But normally, people with this disease would carry medicine with them, and even if they got sick, there should be an inducement... He turned his gaze, and suddenly landed on the colorful fruit juices on the table next to him.
"What did he drink just now?" He raised his head suddenly, staring at the female companion who came with the middle-aged man tonight and asked sharply.
"I, I don't know," the woman seemed stunned and stammered, "Y-should it be a bar? Or juice?"
System: "It's grapefruit juice."
Lin Xiaodong took a deep breath.
No wonder.
Grapefruit juice can amplify the properties of the medicine, and it is no less than a deadly poison/drug to a patient who has just taken the medicine. Just like cephalosporin paired with wine, a glass can send people away.But he checked the meter. Fortunately, the man didn't drink much, and he was still alive.
"Get warm water ready, I'll induce vomiting for him first, and if you have golden needles at home, give me a set." Lin Xiaodong didn't know if it would be useful, but now he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, "And you, Help me lift him up."
Master Huang was in a daze when he was summoned: "Ah? Good, good..."
After all the chaos, the face of the middle-aged man, who had been pricked by Lin Xiaodong more than ten needles in succession, finally softened a little with the sound of vomiting that made the ladies present frown and cover their noses.
But the follow-up situation still needs to be sent to a large hospital for detailed examination. Lin Xiaodong took the veil expressionlessly, wiped his soiled hands, watched the man being carried into the car and sent away, and said to Mr. Huang: " It's not your fault, grapefruit juice is nutritious in itself, but it can reduce the activity of a metabolic enzyme in the body, which in turn affects the process of breaking down drugs, so next time, just be careful and don't serve this drink in public gone."
"Thank you, thank you." Master Huang said gratefully, although he didn't hear a word.
But he knew that if it wasn't for Lin Xiaodong's explanation, if someone spread the word, the scapegoat would probably fall on him.
"Ding, good person card +1."
Lin Xiaodong smiled, and just took this opportunity to get up and say goodbye: "I was a little tired from the rescue for a long time just now, Mr. Huang, let's go first."
"I'll see you off." Master Huang hurriedly said, but Gu Xingzhai politely refused: "No need, you stay."
The man held Lin Xiaodong's hand tightly, pulled him into the car, and said to Mr. Huang who was still reluctant to part with him, "Don't worry, we will help you explain when we get back. But please help us a little bit." Busy, my father and Lin Xiaodong really don't have that kind of relationship, if it's convenient for you, please explain it for us."
"Of course." Master Huang immediately agreed.
But when the car drove for a certain distance, Lin Xiaodong, who had been keeping quiet since getting in the car, suddenly chuckled.
"They all said that Young Master Gu is not messed up, he is a gentleman..." He squinted at Gu Xingzhai, who was sitting on the back of the chair with a cold expression and closed eyes. He was as direct and bold as stripping his black long gown, "Is that really the case?"
Gu Xingzhai's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He lowered his head to look at a certain monster that had already been lying on his shoulder at some point, Lin Xiaodong leaned half of his body on his body as if he had no bones.The young man drank wine at the ball, although not much, but he was also tainted with alcohol, his face was flushed, his eyes were shining, he looked like the legendary snake demon Medusa, her beauty was thrilling, and people dare not be with her Look at each other.
"Go down." Gu Xingzhai's voice was hoarse.
There is also a driver in the car.
"Because of the driver?" Lin Xiaodong's voice sounded as if he knew what he was thinking.
The young man stretched out his hand to close the curtain, and asked persistently:
"Or, are you jealous because you don't want me to dance with others?"
Gu Xingzhai tightened his five fingers patiently: "No!"
"Really?" The demon deliberately lowered his voice, his smile mixed with the smell of hot alcohol, he raised his head, his soft red lips vaguely brushed against the side of the man's neck, causing Gu Xingzhai to tremble all over.
"But why, you dare not look into my eyes?"

Lin Xiaodong had a premonition that this dance would definitely not be as peaceful as Gu Xingzhai expected.
"Miss, the car is ready and parked at the door."
Hearing the voice of the housekeeper at the door, Lin Xiaodong responded, got up and walked out of the room.
An old-fashioned dark green jeep was parked at the entrance of Gu's mansion, and there were curtains on the back seat to cover it up. Gu Xi closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, still wearing his same dark-colored long gown.

He looked up at Gu Xingzhai, the man passed him and picked up the necklace from the box, and tied it around Lin Xiaodong's neck carefully.

On the red carpet at the door, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked slowly towards them with their backs facing the bright headlights.

"You're right." Lin Xiaodong toasted him, "So, for our rare consensus, cheers?"
Hearing the young man's smiling voice, Gu Xingzhai's indifferent expression couldn't hold back immediately.He reluctantly raised his glass, touched Lin Xiaodong briefly, but still reminded him, "Don't drink too much."
"I know, like an old lady."
Lin Xiaodong rolled her eyes at him in an unladylike manner, let go of his hand, and ran to other tables to find snacks to fill her stomach.Gu Xingzhai stood there with a stiff face, and suddenly heard a laugh from behind: "Miss Lin is really temperamental, Brother Gu, you are so lucky."
Gu Xingzhai's expression quickly returned to his usual indifference.
He turned around and saw a young man in an off-white suit standing behind, looking at him with a teasing smile. He looked like a trendy person who had returned from studying abroad, and looked a little like Mr. Huang.
Gu Xingzhai thought to himself, this should be his eldest son, Huang Jianshu.
Huang Jianshu shook his wine glass, and said with great experience: "Brother Gu, is he not very good at getting along with women? Women, you still have to be coaxed and pampered.

"Thank you, Young Master Huang, for your advice." Gu Xingzhai said lightly.

I don't believe the rumors outside, Brother Gu can sit up straight when he sees it." You are a decent person, but judging from my many years of experience, you must have not chased Miss Lin, so I said," under Gu Xingzhai's increasingly cold gaze, his eyes flickered, and the smile on his face deepened, "We How about a fair competition between the two?"
"...It's up to you, I won't accompany you." Gu Xingzhai said coldly, "But let me explain in advance, she is not a woman who will be easily moved by sweet words."
"is it?"
Huang Jianshu raised his eyebrows high.
Looking at Gu Xingzhai's leaving back, he suddenly sneered and drank the red wine in his glass.
"Why are you pretending to be a saint?"
Before Huang Jianshu was sent to study abroad by Mr. Huang, he was a well-known playboy. Not only that, he was also a double, and he had slept with as many as [-] men and women.For Lin Xiaodong, he is bound to win.
On the other side, seeing that the guests were almost here, Mr. Huang clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and after delivering a simple speech, he loudly announced the start of the dance.A soft female voice with a little noise came from the record player, and the men present stretched out their hands to their female companions and slid onto the dance floor in twos and threes.
Seeing this, Gu Xingzhai also bowed slightly towards Lin Xiaodong, extending his hand to invite him to join.Under the envious and jealous eyes of other men around, he held Lin Xiaodong's hand, swaying and moving slowly with the music, changing dance steps.
"They're all watching you."
Gu Xingzhai lowered his head and looked at the beautiful face in front of him, who was only a short distance away from him, and said in a low voice involuntarily.
"I know," Lin Xiaodong also followed his example, smiling and moving his lips lightly, and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Let them see, anyway, I'm only dancing with you alone."
The man was silent and did not reply.
As agreed before they came, Gu Xingzhai let go of his hand after a dance.But Lin Xiaodong noticed that the man's earlobe had already been dyed a layer of crimson, he seemed really shy.
The system sincerely said: "Let's start a class."
Lin Xiaodong is not modest: "There is no way, it is born."
In fact, it was also because he knew the person in front of him too well. If a stranger came, it might not have such a good effect.
They just danced a song and grabbed the attention of the audience. There is no way, the handsome man and the beautiful woman are a natural couple standing there, who doesn't like to watch it.So even though he was slandering in his heart, the audience around him still applauded respectfully.
Seeing Gu Xingzhai coldly leaving Lin Xiaodong alone on the dance floor and leaving alone, several men even glared at him, thinking that he was too ungentlemanlike.But then, all the men in the audience started to move, including Mr. Huang, who was absent-mindedly dancing with his concubine.
The aunt who had been stepped on several times by him turned pale with anger: "What's the matter!"
She stomped her feet, and was so angry that she found a reason to go back to the room to rest, out of sight and out of mind.
Before the next dance started, Huang Jianshu straightened his neckline against the glass cabinet by the wall, cleared his cough, walked up to Lin Xiaodong before all the men, and bowed politely to him, with a kind of let The scalp-numbing aria asked, "Ah, beautiful lady, can you dance with me?"
Lin Xiaodong: "..."
There was a smirk on his face, and he wanted to refuse, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed the calm and indifferent eyes of someone outside the crowd, but he was actually nervous and focused. His eyes flashed, and he changed his mind immediately.
"Okay," he said briskly, "but I don't know how to dance this kind of dance, so please bear with me."
"It's okay!" Huang Jianshu was overjoyed, "I'll take you!"
The moment Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand, Gu Xingzhai's hand holding the cup was instantly clenched.
The hand was so strong that it even made the glass creak under the weight.
The man gritted his teeth tightly, thinking that this demon is indeed full of lies, just now he confessed to him affectionately, saying that he only danced with him, and then turned around and started making out with others... Shameless!
Gu Xingzhai's breath was stuck in his chest, he couldn't get up or down, but his face became more and more cold on the surface, he didn't even look into the dance floor.The ladies who were originally attracted by his tall figure and handsome appearance and wanted to invite him to dance together suddenly stopped in their tracks and dared not go forward.
Some wives who were jealous of Lin Xiaodong's appearance took the opportunity to whisper to their girlfriends: "Look at her, even the dance partner doesn't want to see her, so what are you proud of?"
"Although these two seem to be a good match, one is a wife and the other is a young master. There is a whole generation behind them."
"That's right, men like young ones. Maybe it took a whole night to convince Young Master Gu to bring her here. And I see Young Master Gu as a gentleman, so I don't think he's the kind of person who would do that kind of thing." .”
And the men began to doubt their previous judgments—could it be that these two people are really just a simple dance partner relationship?
Otherwise, why did Lin Xiaodong dance with others, but Gu Xingzhai still looked indifferent?
"Sit still in your arms, you are a role model for me." One person sighed.
And Gu Xingzhai, who already had excellent hearing ability, turned black immediately when he heard this sentence.
Master Huang, who was preempted by his son, also felt very upset. It was obviously the woman he fell in love with first, but as a son, he robbed Lao Tzu. What is this called?
But after all, he was his own son, and it was hard for Master Huang to say anything in public, so he could only laugh dryly at the teasing eyes of the people around him, and suffered from being dumb.
The concubine went upstairs, and he was not in the mood to invite other women to dance. Master Huang glanced, and suddenly saw one of today's protagonists in the corner, and immediately walked there with a smile: "Master! When did you arrive? I thought you weren't coming!"
"Master Huang," the man in the gray cloth jacket who looked a bit out of place in the magnificent hall didn't pay attention to his greetings, but stared solemnly at Lin Xiaodong's direction and asked with a frown, "that woman who is it?"
Master Huang, who had touched a soft nail, twitched the corners of his mouth, not without envy, he said: "Lin Xiaodong, a member of the Gu family. Master, have you taken a fancy to her too?"
"That's not it, it's just..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a scream from the dance floor.
"What's wrong!!??"
Mr. Huang was startled, and saw a middle-aged man collapsed on the floor with his eyes closed, his face flushed, and his body trembling violently.The gentlemen and ladies around were so frightened that they dispersed one after another, and no one dared to step forward, for fear of losing their lives.
As the organizer of the ball, Mr. Huang naturally has to take on this responsibility.He bravely walked to the side, pinched the man's chest, and shouted: "Go get a doctor!"
"I... I'm going right away!" The door boy turned pale in fright and ran away in fright.
"It's too late," a calm voice suddenly came from the crowd, "I'm the doctor, let me take a look."
Under everyone's attention, Lin Xiaodong pushed aside the crowd and stood up on his own initiative.
At this moment, Mr. Huang couldn't care less about being jealous or not. Although he was a local official, the people present were all big families who were either rich or noble. He had just arrived and had to rely on their support to gain a foothold.Seeing Lin Xiaodong kneeling beside the patient, he hurriedly said gratefully: "Miss Lin, quickly, help me find out what happened to him?"
Lin Xiaodong frowned and asked the system to help him detect it, and found that this person suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease, probably caused by too much intemperance in his daily life.But normally, people with this disease would carry medicine with them, and even if they got sick, there should be an inducement... He turned his gaze, and suddenly landed on the colorful fruit juices on the table next to him.
"What did he drink just now?" He raised his head suddenly, staring at the female companion who came with the middle-aged man tonight and asked sharply.
"I, I don't know," the woman seemed stunned and stammered, "Y-should it be a bar? Or juice?"
System: "It's grapefruit juice."
Lin Xiaodong took a deep breath.
No wonder.
Grapefruit juice can amplify the properties of the medicine, and it is no less than a deadly poison/drug to a patient who has just taken the medicine. Just like cephalosporin paired with wine, a glass can send people away.But he checked the meter. Fortunately, the man didn't drink much, and he was still alive.
"Get warm water ready, I'll induce vomiting for him first, and if you have golden needles at home, give me a set." Lin Xiaodong didn't know if it would be useful, but now he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, "And you, Help me lift him up."
Master Huang was in a daze when he was summoned: "Ah? Good, good..."
After all the chaos, the face of the middle-aged man, who had been pricked by Lin Xiaodong more than ten needles in succession, finally softened a little with the sound of vomiting that made the ladies present frown and cover their noses.
But the follow-up situation still needs to be sent to a large hospital for detailed examination. Lin Xiaodong took the veil expressionlessly, wiped his soiled hands, watched the man being carried into the car and sent away, and said to Mr. Huang: " It's not your fault, grapefruit juice is nutritious in itself, but it can reduce the activity of a metabolic enzyme in the body, which in turn affects the process of breaking down drugs, so next time, just be careful and don't serve this drink in public gone."
"Thank you, thank you." Master Huang said gratefully, although he didn't hear a word.
But he knew that if it wasn't for Lin Xiaodong's explanation, if someone spread the word, the scapegoat would probably fall on him.
"Ding, good person card +1."
Lin Xiaodong smiled, and just took this opportunity to get up and say goodbye: "I was a little tired from the rescue for a long time just now, Mr. Huang, let's go first."
"I'll see you off." Master Huang hurriedly said, but Gu Xingzhai politely refused: "No need, you stay."
The man held Lin Xiaodong's hand tightly, pulled him into the car, and said to Mr. Huang who was still reluctant to part with him, "Don't worry, we will help you explain when we get back. But please help us a little bit." Busy, my father and Lin Xiaodong really don't have that kind of relationship, if it's convenient for you, please explain it for us."
"Of course." Master Huang immediately agreed.
But when the car drove for a certain distance, Lin Xiaodong, who had been keeping quiet since getting in the car, suddenly chuckled.
"They all said that Young Master Gu is not messed up, he is a gentleman..." He squinted at Gu Xingzhai, who was sitting on the back of the chair with a cold expression and closed eyes. He was as direct and bold as stripping his black long gown, "Is that really the case?"
Gu Xingzhai's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
He lowered his head to look at a certain monster that had already been lying on his shoulder at some point, Lin Xiaodong leaned half of his body on his body as if he had no bones.The young man drank wine at the ball, although not much, but he was also tainted with alcohol, his face was flushed, his eyes were shining, he looked like the legendary snake demon Medusa, her beauty was thrilling, and people dare not be with her Look at each other.
"Go down." Gu Xingzhai's voice was hoarse.
There is also a driver in the car.
"Because of the driver?" Lin Xiaodong's voice sounded as if he knew what he was thinking.
The young man stretched out his hand to close the curtain, and asked persistently:
"Or, are you jealous because you don't want me to dance with others?"
Gu Xingzhai tightened his five fingers patiently: "No!"
"Really?" The demon deliberately lowered his voice, his smile mixed with the smell of hot alcohol, he raised his head, his soft red lips vaguely brushed against the side of the man's neck, causing Gu Xingzhai to tremble all over.
"But why, you dare not look into my eyes?"
