51 Chapter 51 Banquet

The conversation between the two ended with Xia Zichen coming out and shouting for dinner. ˋˊGu Xu washed his hands and took the initiative to help Xia Zichen serve the dishes, but did not let Xia Yuze take action.

Xia Yuze asked Gu Xu to eat more at the dinner table. Gu Xu nodded and ate a meal quite seriously. Seeing that he had eaten a lot, Xia Zichen was relieved. He was worried that it would not suit Gu Xu's taste, after all, he had never officially cooked a meal for Gu Xu.

Gu Xu picked the fish and put a small plate on Xia Zichen's hand to make it easier for him to eat. The three of them didn't say much, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Halfway through the meal, Xia Yuze received a call from the office and asked him to go back, saying that he had just received a big case and needed to discuss it together.

At work, Xia Yuze never refuses, not to mention that today the people who go to the firm are senior lawyers. So after dinner, Xia Yuze drove out and asked Gu Xu to play at home before leaving, so there was no need to rush back.

After seeing off his father, Xia Zichen returned to the kitchen to wash dishes. Gu Xu also followed in, "I'll clean it."

Xia Zichen turned to look at him, with a look in his eyes, and then rejected: "Forget it, even if my plate is not particularly expensive, you can't just throw it around and play with it."

Gu Xu was joking by him, and reached out to pinch his ear, "You can't trust me too much."

"It's not that I believe it, just in case." At least he has never seen Gu Xu wash dishes. The two of them use disposable tableware when eating in the dormitory. Just throw them away after using it.

"In the future, you don't need to wash the dishwasher at home." Gu Xu leaned against the cooking table and looked at Xia Zichen who was washing dishes carefully.

"Yeah." Xia Zichen did not object either. In fact, there were few people in his family. After a meal, he couldn't use many tableware. It was convenient to wash it by himself.

Gu Xu turned around, hugged Xia Zichen from behind, put his chin on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "What you cook is delicious and tastes like at home."

The breath fell on his neck, and the slight itchy feeling made Xia Zichen shrink unconsciously and said softly: "It's good that you like it." Xia Zichen was very happy that what he made could make Gu Xu like, but he still had the same faint expression on the surface.

"When I was in elementary school, because the food ordered at school was not delicious, many students would bring bento from home. At noon, the housekeeper would send large food boxes. Although the dishes were much richer than them, I still envy those students who ate small lunch boxes." Gu Xu said slowly: "In my opinion, their meals are more home-like. My mother can't cook, so she can't expect him to cook for me. The food at home is also cooked by the chef. Although it is good, I always feel that something is missing."

Xia Zichen turned his head to look at him and joked, "You are not hungry, otherwise everyone will do the same."

Gu Xu smiled, "Well, what you said is right. But eating the food you cook today made me feel that my little envy was satisfied when I was a child."

Xia Zichen pinched his nose with his hand stained water and snorted: "I'm not your mother."

"Of course you are not. You are my lover and my other half in life." Gu Xu kissed his fair neck, "I just feel like home, our home. ˋˊ On the way home, Gu Xu handed a invitation to Xia Zichen.

"What?" Xia Zichen took it, turned on the lighting inside the car and opened the invitation.

"My elder brother's birthday tomorrow, I invite you to play." Gu Xu drove.

Xia Zichen looked at the address on the invitation. It was a five-star hotel in the city. "Is this a birthday party?"

"Well. My brother's birthday is basically a banquet. To put it bluntly, businessmen take this opportunity to discuss cooperation, and there is no constraint. As long as some assets in the circle are in the ranks of invitations," Gu Xu said: "In fact, it is just socializing, and it also gives some people who usually try every means to find a partner of the Gu family. Otherwise, they may not be able to see my elder brother even if they make an appointment for one year."

"Brother is really hard." I think I have to hook up with business on my birthday, and it is not easy to have a big family business.

"Well. Usually, the family will make up for the elder brother. It's great to be together for the whole family." Every year, their family will find time to celebrate together on their birthdays. Even if they are busy, they will be free to get together that day.

Xia Zichen thought for a while and asked, "What gift should I bring? What brother likes?"

He naturally can't afford it because he is too expensive, but he always wants it. Moreover, with Gu Yan's value, he will not lack any gifts.

"Brother said, you can just get a person and you don't have to sell things. He doesn't need to be short of anything, and it may not be useful if you buy it." Gu Xu said: "This time, my brother invited a good chef to cook and invite you to eat."

Xia Zichen nodded, "Okay.ˋˊ"

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow evening, so I don't have to dress very formally. My brother likes casualness." Gu Xu didn't want Xia Zichen to be too troublesome on this, "It's all my family, and you don't need to care about the others."

"I know." It's good. If he really wants to wear a suit, he probably has to buy one first tomorrow morning.

The next evening, Gu Xu appeared downstairs of Xia Zichen's house on time. In order to cooperate with Xia Zichen, Gu Xu also dressed casually. Anyway, it was his eldest brother's banquet, so he could wear it no matter how he dressed it.

Xia Zichen still dressed up when he went out - a T-shirt and jeans. Before going out, he took a shower carefully to make himself feel refreshed. After all, it was really hot in the summer.

The car parked at the main entrance of the hotel. The doorman opened the car door and asked two people to get out. Gu Xu handed the key to the doorman to park and led Xia Zichen into it.

The reception staff were specially arranged in the lobby. Xia Zichen did not know these people, but Gu Xu knew them. After seeing Gu Xu, Gu Yan's secretary also walked over with a smile and said, "The Fourth Young Master is here. Please have a special elevator."

"Yes." Gu Xu nodded and walked in with Xia Zichen. The two of them kept holding hands, and did not avoid it because it was a public place. The secretary quietly looked at Xia Zichen without any malice.

When the elevator arrived at the banquet hall, many guests had already arrived in the hall. Everyone greeted each other and seemed to be familiar with each other. Gu Xu's arrival naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. On the one hand, he was not neglected by his own sense of existence, and on the other hand, he casually dressed in other places that were out of place today, and he was holding a boy in his hand. ˋˊ

Seeing them coming in, Gu Yan stopped chatting with the people around him, asked the secretary to accompany him, and walked over by himself, "I came quite early."

"I can't be late to bring Chenchen here." If it were the past, he would not arrive after eight o'clock.

"Brother, happy birthday." Xia Zichen smiled. Even if this was just a social event for Gu Yan, there should be blessings that should be given. As he said that, Xia Zichen took out a small box in his bag, "This is a gift."

"Didn't it be nice to just come?" Gu Yan was a little surprised when he saw Xia Zichen's gift.

"I always feel like I want to bring you something. After all, it's my first time attending your birthday party. It's not something particularly expensive, I hope you like it." This was what he thought about all night and then got up early in the morning to sell. He couldn't afford to sell something too expensive, so he could only pay attention to practicality.

"Thank you." Gu Yan took the box and opened it. It was a silver signature pen with fine workmanship. Gu Yan held a smile on his lips, took it out and inserted it into the pocket on the inside of the suit, "I like it very much, I'm worried."

Among all the gifts today, maybe this pen is the cheapest, but the so-called expensive gifts are just to make him look at them and exchange for opportunities for cooperation. To put it bluntly, these people are all for profit, considering their own needs, not what Gu Yan needs to order. Xia Zichen's gift happened to be given to him. It doesn't need to be too expensive, but it is very practical.

"Brother, you're polite." Xia Zichen was relieved when he saw Gu Yan liked it. The pen of this brand is very famous. When he first went to college, Xia Zichen gave one to Xia Yuze. This is convenient and face-saving for a man who needs to sign frequently.

"It's still ten minutes before the meal starts. There are brands there. Order whatever you like. Don't worry about others or be polite." Gu Xu pointed to the dining tables on the side, "Xiao Xu, just accompany Zichen."

"I understand." Gu Xu nodded. He was also a little surprised and jealous of the gifts prepared by Xia Zichen. So far, he has not received Xia Zichen's gift.

Gu Yan raised his hand and rubbed Xia Zichen's hair, "I'll go to the social event first. There is a newly prepared fruit wine from the bartender at the bartender. You can try it. If you are tired, stay here. I booked a room and asked Xiaoxu to ask the secretary for the room card."

"Okay." Xia Zichen nodded.

Taking his hand away from Xia Zichen's head, Gu Yan looked at his younger brother helplessly, "I'm just expressing my gratitude, you don't have to glare at me so seriously."

"I'm very happy that you recognize Chenchen, but I'll feel uncomfortable if I'm too intimate." Gu Xu said straight.

"I usually see you care nothing, but when I get to Zichen's problem, I'm jealous." Gu Yan shook his head helplessly and said to Xia Zichen: "Although I have three younger brothers, I don't have the awareness of being younger brothers. Since you have entered our Gu family, let's make up for me, the eldest brother."

Xia Zichen smiled unanimously. Gu Xu also mentioned the affairs of brothers at home to him. Among children of the same age, Xia Zichen is very independent, but as a son, he still relies on Xia Yuze to some extent, which is the belonging of family affection and family. However, the independence of these sons of the Gu family does not even depend on their parents, let alone brothers. Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of personality that the four brothers get along very well.

After talking for a while, Gu Yan went to socialize with the new guests again. Gu Xu took Xia Zichen to the dining table aside and prepared to taste the chef's skills.

There were drinking and chatting in the banquet hall, and many people were secretly looking at Gu Xu. On the one hand, they were curious, and on the other hand, they also hoped to get along with Gu Yan through him. However, looking at Gu Xu's face as if he was not close to him, no one dared to come.

The kitchen, as Gu Yan ordered, put each dish separately and delivered it to Xia Zichen's table. Seeing the more plates on the dining table, Xia Zichen felt like he was just coming out to eat, rather than attending a banquet.

While eating, Gu Xu's hand that was placed under the table cooled down. When he looked down, he saw a sign pen placed on his hand. The color was the same as Gu Yan's pen, but the pattern was different.

Gu Xu smiled, "Thank you." Although he didn't want Xia Zichen to spend money, he was still sincerely happy to receive the gift. The little jealousy he had for his elder brother disappeared.

Xia Zichen smiled and said nothing, as long as he thought about something.

When they were almost finished eating, Xia Zichen leaned on the back of the chair and looked around at the people in the venue. Although everyone kept smiling on their faces, Xia Zichen felt that this kind of life was quite tiring.

Among this group of people, Xia Zichen accidentally swept a familiar figure at the corner of his eyes. A girl in a white evening dress was sitting near the bar, as if she was thinking about something.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Zichen remembered that Gu Xu, who was waiting for the car at the entrance of the coffee station last time, was with Lian Fei'er, and followed several boys into the nightclub opposite.

If you can meet here, you should be worth it...

Just as he was thinking, he turned around and saw Shen Yicheng walking in through the main entrance with his father.

Xia Zichen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, this circle is really small...
