Chapter 570

This was clearly a sign of discord between the two brothers. Shen Ci could roughly guess that this must have a lot to do with Liang Shishi.

Before long, the birthday banquet began to serve dishes. What came to the table before the dishes were various fine wines.

Although this table was for juniors, everyone was an adult, and on a day like today, it was inevitable to have a few drinks.

"Shen Ci, right?" At this moment, Liang Shishi suddenly looked at Shen Ci, her movements not stopping as she poured herself a glass of red wine: "Nice to meet you, I'll toast you."

Her sudden move was unclear, but it definitely wasn't releasing goodwill toward her, because Shen Ci could still feel the other party competing with her.

Perhaps she was really unconvinced in her heart.

But Shen Ci couldn't sympathize with Liang Shishi. Putting herself in her shoes, today she was already sitting here as Gao Zhan's girlfriend. No matter how unwilling Liang Shishi was in her heart, her current behavior was completely unreasonable.

She respected neither herself nor Gao Zhan.

However, even so, Shen Ci still poured herself a glass of wine; surface harmony still had to be maintained.

But just as she was about to pick up the wine glass, a hand gently rested on it.

"Your period is coming soon, it's not suitable to drink," Gao Zhan said, taking the wine glass from her hand and placing it gently aside. Then he poured a glass of fruit juice with his own glass and placed it in front of Shen Ci again: "Drink this."

Alcohol dilates blood vessels, leading to a worsening of menstrual conditions, especially since Shen Ci already had plenty of blood and energy, so the situation would be even more serious.

Gao Zhan was not only attentive but also remembered Shen Ci's "heavy flow" situation.

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses, looking enlightened: "I almost forgot myself, it's good you remembered."

He really remembered.

Yesterday Gao Zhan asked her about her menstrual cycle, and she was still thinking, is it necessary to be so detailed when exchanging personal information?

"Of course I remember," Gao Zhan said softly.

Liang Shishi, who was opposite, watched this scene, and her hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tighten. They grew up together, and Gao Zhan was right there when she had her first period, and he had always remembered her menstrual cycle too.

It was also these two days.

But at this moment, there was only Shen Ci in his eyes. He only remembered his girlfriend's menstrual cycle and didn't even look at her.

Liang Shishi looked at Gao Zhan with obscure eyes. Did you really forget, or are you pretending not to care?

However, Gao Zhan didn't remember, but someone else did.

Gao Qi hesitated for a long time before finally unable to help but speak up to remind her: "Sister Shishi, you're also these two days, right? Don't drink either."

As he spoke, he was about to copy Gao Zhan's actions, wanting to reach out and take Liang Shishi's wine glass, and then pour her another glass of beverage.

But Liang Shishi turned slightly and raised her hand to dodge, and then, under the gaze of everyone at the table, tilted her head and downed the glass of red wine.

After putting down the wine glass, she deliberately looked at Gao Zhan and said: "It's okay, I'm long past those days."

Gao Qi's hand hung in mid-air, and finally, he clenched it into a fist and lowered it slowly, his cold gaze also shooting toward Gao Zhan.

These two gazes each contained hidden anger, but what did Gao Zhan say or do from beginning to end?

Nothing at all.

Shen Ci felt it was inexplicable and felt Gao Zhan was even more innocent.

Two people who loved but couldn't get it actually aimed their spearheads at Gao Zhan in unison.

And at this table, not everyone was as thick-skinned as Gao Min. Most people still knew that the relationship between the few was subtle. At the moment, they all watched their noses and hearts, keeping silent and not daring to speak, while secretly eating melons.

As Gao Zhan's girlfriend, Shen Ci truly felt a surge of turbid air in her chest at this moment.

But she didn't flare up, trying hard to restrain her emotions.

On this occasion today, others were all irrelevant people. The reason Gao Zhan wanted to bring her was because it was his great-grandfather's birthday, and his only goal was to make his great-grandfather happy.

With that, Shen Ci picked up the fruit juice Gao Zhan poured for her and took Gao Zhan's hand: "Let's go toast Great-grandfather!"

"Okay," Gao Zhan picked up his wine glass, ignored everyone's gaze, and led Shen Ci away from the table.

As soon as the two left, everyone felt that the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated by half. They exchanged glances with each other, and some followed up by switching topics to liven up the atmosphere.

Gao Qi looked silently at Liang Shishi's profile, wanting to say something but feeling timid because of Liang Shishi's cold aura.

"Are you angry?"

Beside the archway between the front and back courtyards, Gao Zhan stopped and turned to look at Shen Ci and asked.

Although Shen Ci didn't show it on the surface, Gao Zhan could clearly feel the change in Shen Ci's aura just now; she was restraining and enduring.

And that point in time was exactly when Liang Shishi and Gao Qi were looking at him together.

She was angry because of him.

Shen Ci looked at Gao Zhan, shocked in her heart at his sensitivity and delicacy, that he could even feel her anger when she hadn't shown anything.

And since he was so sensitive and delicate, he must also be able to feel 100% the negative emotions that Liang Shishi and his younger brother were releasing toward him for no reason.

"Aren't you angry?" Shen Ci asked.

Gao Zhan looked at her, and the next second he actually smiled, and his entire aura was relaxed: "I don't care."

He really didn't care.

Shen Ci just looked into his eyes, felt his emotions at this moment, and believed his words 100%.

She suddenly felt relieved.

Yeah, wasn't the reason she was angry because she felt that the unplaced feelings of those two people had nothing to do with Gao Zhan?

Gao Zhan must have thought so too. He must also feel that it had nothing to do with him, so since it wasn't his business, why should he care?

"Let's go, let's go toast Great-grandfather."

Throwing the bad luck just now behind them, the two walked into the backyard together.

Great-grandfather was truly happy today. Even if Shen Ci used fruit juice instead of wine, he was happy. Not only was Great-grandfather happy, but Gao Zhan's grandfather and father were also in high spirits today.

They pulled Gao Zhan and Shen Ci and wished they could go around the field to let everyone see the beautiful girlfriend Gao Zhan brought back.

By nine o'clock in the evening, the birthday banquet was only nearing the halfway point.

Gao Zhan drank some wine and pulled Shen Ci aside: "It's about time, I'll send you back."

Shen Ci glanced at the time. It had been about five hours from the time she went out in the afternoon to this time.

"Since I'm already here, wouldn't it be bad for me to leave halfway?"

Perhaps due to the alcohol, Gao Zhan's entire temperament softened a bit: "It's okay, you're still in school, they will understand."

"And it's just for today. I'm afraid if you don't leave when it ends, they'll keep you talking. You don't need to deal with so many people for me. You've done enough today, and you've done well enough."

These words hit Shen Ci's heart. She didn't want to have too much contact with her boyfriend's family when she was in a serious relationship. Today was only one day, so it was an exception.

So she nodded: "I'll go back by myself, you drank alcohol and can't drive."

As she spoke, she was about to pull her hand out, but it was held tightly by Gao Zhan: "I'll send you, I'll call a designated driver."

?? I'm directly exhausted, let me rest for a while, another chapter will be sent later.
