The stand-in is just for fun, the sponsor is serious

Chapter 9

The balcony at night brought a cool breeze, Jiang Shu was immersed in her own thoughts, and didn't notice the coldness until a coat was draped over her shoulders.
The smoky coat has a hint of woody sandalwood.

"Why don't you go down?" Xiang Jiamu asked without a tone, with a sullen face.
How did he come up?
"Thank you, no need." Jiang Shu took off his jacket and handed it to him, saying, "It's a bit stuffy down here, come out to get some air, are you too?"

Xiang Jiamu paused, took the jacket and put it in the crook of his arm, and said "um" in an unnatural tone.

"... Xiyu is waiting for you,... go back quickly", after saying this, he turned around and walked out of the balcony, as if he was just passing a message by the way.

Xiang Jiamu is usually a taciturn person. She hasn't had much contact with him. To be precise, she doesn't want to have contact with any of Cheng Xiyu's friends. Those teasing or sympathetic eyes always make people feel a little uncomfortable.

She just thought it was Cheng Xiyu who asked him to come up and tell her to go back.

Turning around, just as she was about to go downstairs, she saw Gu Ting walking towards her from the corner.

"I think you have a right to know one thing—"
Withdrew from a gentle and generous shell, Gu Ting looked at Jiang Shu with a somewhat condescending tone and said,
She wants Jiang Shu to know that a counterfeit is a counterfeit, and no matter how much she likes Xi Yu, it is still just a counterfeit.

Jiang Shu looked at her coldly, without any intention of answering the conversation, with a disinterested expression on her face.

Gu Ting gritted her teeth and said arrogantly, "I still want to remind you not to get too deep. Do you know that Xi Yu has a favorite in her heart——"

"you like him.".

Before Gu Ting finished speaking, she said this sentence, not a question, but an affirmation.

Gu Ting: "You—"

"You don't have to treat me as an enemy," Jiang Shu said without expression,
Gu Ting: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" A trace of panic flashed across her face.

Jiang Shu: "Actually, you know better than anyone else whether I'm talking nonsense, don't you?"

Gu Ting: "...".

Without listening to what she said, Jiang Shu turned around and walked downstairs, Gu Ting's voice came from behind her,

"Jiang Shu, you won't be proud for long, I'll wait and see!"

She thought it was funny that Gu Ting regarded herself as an enemy. She didn't want to fight for anything, and she couldn't fight.

Cheng Xiyu's sweetheart is not her, Jiang Shu. No one is serious about a deal. Gu Ting just cares about it and it's all chaos. Love makes people lose their minds.

"Why did you come down, what happened?" Cheng Xiyu lowered his eyes, looked a little unhappy, and asked with his eyelids raised slightly,

"...a little tired." Jiang Shu said softly, looking a little tired.

The banquet was more than halfway through, and the rest were people who were close to the family, and some of them had already left. Just after Jiamu came down from upstairs, he left after a while.

Cheng Xiyu greeted Gu's father and mother, but he didn't find Gu Zhao, and he didn't look for it again.

Seeing the person in front of him obediently lowering his head, the red mole flickered like a burning heart.

Cheng Xiyu's eyes were dark, and the color of his eyes became darker, and the hands they held were tightly intertwined,
After getting in the car, leaning against the comfortable back seat, Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel a little tired. Just about to close her eyes, her waist tightened, and a pair of big bony hands embraced her.
Cheng Xiyu looked down at her, and when their eyes met, Jiang Shu froze for a moment, as if there were crackling sparks burning in the air.

His throat rolled uncontrollably. In the elegant mist-like starlight, his smooth and fair face revealed a sharp-edged indifference, and his dark and deep eyes became more and more lustrous...

For some reason, there were ripples in her eyes...Suddenly, she felt numb in her heart,

bang-bang-bang-

"Xiaoshu." Cheng Xiyu called her name with dark eyes, holding the back of her neck with his hand, forcing her to raise her head, her voice became hoarse, and her deep breath sprayed on the side of her neck: "...do you want to kiss me?"

She must be sick, otherwise why would she chase after him and kiss him, her hands powerlessly grasped his cuffs, her eyes were misty, and her face was slightly flushed.

Cheng Xiyu kissed so hard that she locked the man in her arms and bullied a dog. She wanted to break free, but there was no way to escape, so she had to get closer, as if she couldn't bear it, and seemed to be begging for more from her lover...

The temperature in the car was getting higher and higher, until the horn sounded impatiently from behind, and the two separated
At the corners of Jiang Shu's eyes, the sides of her cheeks were bright red, panting softly,
Seeing her like this, Cheng Xiyu's black eyes were deep and darker, and he wished he could get home right away.

Jiang Shu, this little fox, looks good everywhere, and fits so well everywhere, he, heart, mind...

　Why do you always feel that Gu Ting is stupid, rest assured, she is not a villain (sincere face)
