Chapter 36: Don’t Go
Speaking of which, it was truly awkward. As soon as he stepped into the tavern, he looked up and met Xie Miaohan’s eyes.
Fuck!
Is it too late to slip away now?
Xie Miaohan’s face was stern, but after seeing Gu Huaiye’s face clearly, his eyes suddenly curved, and his smile became gentle.
“Are you here to drink?”
“Ah, no, I am…”
Gu Huaiye paused. He couldn’t exactly say he was here to catch an adulterer.
Ah pui, what catching an adulterer? He was here to see what his ex-wife’s new sugar daddy looked like, and gossip a bit while at it.
“Right, drinking.” Gu Huaiye said self-righteously, “Coming to a tavern not to drink, to sleep?”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Huaiye realized something was wrong.
Saying it was for sleep didn’t seem wrong either.
Xie Miaohan didn’t pick on his words. He raised his arm and pointed somewhere. “I’ll take you to a better seat.”
“You take me?” Gu Huaiye asked in confusion. “Why?”
“You are a guest now. As a waiter here, naturally, I have to seat you.”
“Waiter?”
Gu Huaiye scrutinized Xie Miaohan carefully before realizing this guy was wearing a uniform.
Cao, with such a handsome face and outstanding figure, he wore the uniform like a seductive outfit.
Realizing it was a misunderstanding, Gu Huaiye wanted to slip away a bit.
But Xie Miaohan was already leading him forward, and there were many people behind, making it hard to escape.
A bit embarrassing.
Gu Huaiye had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down, planning to leave after finishing one drink.
“What do you want to drink?”
Gu Huaiye flipped through the menu and pointed randomly. “Just this one.”
“Okay.” Xie Miaohan noted it down.
Because the tavern was dimly lit, Gu Huaiye could stare at Xie Miaohan’s face openly.
He had to admit, there was a reason he fell for Xie Miaohan back then.
Even now, he couldn’t find anyone who fit his preferences better than Xie Miaohan.
In his previous life, he could deceive himself for so long, perhaps because he was overly obsessed with Xie Miaohan’s face, or perhaps he liked the uncontrollable whimpers Xie Miaohan made in bed.
Obviously loathing him so much, yet because of the dependence on pheromones, he had to wrap around his waist.
Indescribable images immediately floated into Gu Huaiye’s mind. His breathing became messy, and he quickly looked away.
“Junior, this cup is on me.” Xie Miaohan suddenly spoke up. “Don’t come to this kind of place in the future; it’s very unsafe.”
Hearing the familiar lecturing tone, Gu Huaiye’s lecherous thoughts vanished instantly without a trace.
He leaned back, staring at Xie Miaohan with a lazy expression.
“Our school doesn’t seem to allow students to work in places like this, right?” Gu Huaiye revealed a wicked smile. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you?”
Xie Miaohan shook his head. “You won’t.”
Gu Huaiye raised an eyebrow. “How many days have you known me? You’re so sure I won’t?”
“I feel like you’re not that kind of person.”
Gu Huaiye wanted to laugh even more hearing this.
What did he say about him in the previous life? Stupid and selfish, a complete piece of trash.
Now that he stopped playing the stalker, he started beautifying him?
What? Want to attract his attention in a different way?
“Then just wait and see.” Gu Huaiye sneered. “See if I’ll report you.”
Xie Miaohan pursed his lips, his voice somewhat low. “Even if you report me, I won’t give up the part-time job at the tavern. I need money very much; you can’t quite understand my situation.”
Gu Huaiye: “…”
If he hadn’t known Xie Miaohan’s true colors in his previous life, he really would have almost been fooled by this “little white flower” in front of him.
“Go, go, go, do your work.” Gu Huaiye was annoyed just looking at him.
Fortunately, Xie Miaohan didn’t disturb him anymore, turning around to serve the next table of guests.
Gu Huaiye propped his chin up, looking around the tavern boredly.
Suddenly, he saw a guest who looked like an Omega deliberately reach out and stroke Xie Miaohan’s chest.
Gu Huaiye’s eyes went wide, staring straight at the two.
What made him angrier was that Xie Miaohan not only didn’t stop him but actually smiled at the other person.
Infuriating!
Is this a waiter? More like a gigolo, right?
Gu Huaiye turned his head immediately, pretending not to see anything.
His drink arrived; Xie Miaohan handed it to him along with a snack.
“Junior, finish eating and drinking and leave quickly. Don’t come next time.”
Gu Huaiye didn’t want to pay attention to him, keeping his head down playing on his phone.
After Xie Miaohan walked away, he looked up at the other’s back.
Fortunately, most people were normal. After that Omega, no one else deliberately took advantage of Xie Miaohan.
But even so, Gu Huaiye still couldn’t calm down.
It felt like something that originally belonged to him had suddenly become dirty.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, he was so busy chasing Xie Miaohan that he hadn’t seriously understood the other’s past.
He only knew Xie Miaohan was poor, his parents died early, and he ate at relatives’ houses in turns, kicked around like a ball.
This was found out by Lu Zishi whom he sent to help investigate.
He remembered holding Xie Miaohan’s file back then, glancing at it roughly, and revealing a joyous smile.
Poor is good.
Only powerless poor people could be possessed by him without any effort.
He wanted to chase slowly, but then the scandal with Wen Xuyue appeared, making him anxious, so he used Father Gu’s connections to forcibly get the person.
Now watching Xie Miaohan work, he truly felt the other’s embarrassment.
How could someone growing up in this environment have pure thoughts?
After laughing once, Gu Huaiye suddenly felt that Xie Miaohan was just like this, not as aloof and elegant as he imagined.
Anyone who came to the tavern to spend money could easily touch Xie Miaohan’s body.
So boring.
Gu Huaiye didn’t even want to drink anymore. He got up to pay the bill with the boss.
When he walked out of the tavern, Xie Miaohan chased after him.
“Why did you pay yourself?” Xie Miaohan grabbed his wrist. “We agreed it was my treat.”
The scene of Xie Miaohan’s chest being touched was still vivid in his mind. Gu Huaiye shook off his hand with disgust.
“You’re working here; I’m afraid you can’t afford my consumption.” Gu Huaiye looked at Xie Miaohan arrogantly. “You and I are not on the same path. Stop trying to get close to me in the future.”
“I didn’t mean that.” Xie Miaohan shook his head hurriedly.
“I don’t care what you mean; just appear less in front of me in the future.”
Gu Huaiye turned to leave, but the next second, a warm chest pressed against his back, and arms wrapped around his waist.
“Let go of me.” Gu Huaiye’s face looked terrible.
“Don’t go…” Xie Miaohan’s voice trembled, seeming extremely uncomfortable. “I think my susceptibility period came early. Can you help me?”
Gu Huaiye wanted to mock Xie Miaohan’s dirty thoughts, but touching the other’s arm, it seemed indeed to be burning hot.
“Let go of me first?” Gu Huaiye’s expression softened a bit. “What’s the use of holding me like this? I didn’t bring inhibitors.”
“Beg you… don’t go yet…”
Gu Huaiye: “…”
Why did it feel like Xie Miaohan in this life was extremely fragile? He almost forgot the person’s original true colors.
“I can’t go back to the tavern anymore. There are many Omegas there, so can you help me?”
Xie Miaohan’s lips kept rubbing against the back of Gu Huaiye’s neck, as if he would open his mouth and bite him in the next second.
Gu Huaiye felt uneasy, afraid Xie Miaohan would really treat him as an Omega and bite him.
Even if it had no effect on him, he didn’t want to be bitten on the back of the neck by an Alpha.
Gu Huaiye hardened his heart, lifted his arm, and elbowed backward.
Xie Miaohan let out a muffled grunt and released him.
Gu Huaiye wanted to leave him alone, but turning his head, he saw Xie Miaohan sitting on the ground, head slightly lowered, bangs covering his eyebrows and eyes, making his emotions unclear.
“Forget it, I really lost to you!”
Gu Huaiye turned back and pulled Xie Miaohan up.
