Delayed confession

"I can't hide anything from you. The person you were looking for last time was Gu Mochuan's father."

Qiao Yi answered nervously. She could tell that Xu Weixi was not in a good mood.

"I saw him once when I went to Lao Wang's place to hand in my homework when I was in school."

Xu Weixi was stunned for a moment. The last time he met Gu Mochuan in the club, he had some guesses, but he didn't expect that he was actually his father.

"…Do you think he helped me because he likes me?"

"What else? When have you ever seen him care about someone else?" Joey said with a smug tone as if he had guessed the reason.

"…Then why didn't he let you tell me?"

"Maybe it's to give you a surprise?" Hearing her friend's idea, Xu Weixi wanted to laugh a little. She told her about the meeting that day. Joey exclaimed,

"No way."

She had always thought that Gu Mochuan was somewhat interested in Xu Weixi, otherwise he would not have come to ask for her phone number. Moreover, when she asked him for help that day, he refused. Only after she explained her purpose did he agree.

If it’s not preference, then what is it?

"Okay, stop daydreaming and go get dressed up. You'll outshine everyone else when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Weixi calmed down and completed the tasks that he had not completed in the past two days. Seeing that there was still time, he saved two more chapters.

Then I opened the comment section and saw a message from a reader.

——Master, when will the hero and heroine be together? All the flowers have wilted in waiting.

——Oh my god, this is such a great joke.

——Master, can bananas really be fried with meat? Won't it be poisonous?

After Xu Weixi answered the questions one by one, he closed the Writer Assistant and opened the website for renting a house.

...

The stars hang low in the night sky, and the streets in the bustling city center are as bright as day. The bright lights and nightlife break through the night fog, and the lights and shadows flicker.

The two stood on the side of the road looking at the huge traffic. Joey pointed across the street and asked, "Would it be more convenient for us to cross the overpass and take a taxi?"

Xu Weixi looked at the road signs on the Gaode map and nodded.

The two crossed the overpass and hailed a taxi, "Master, let's go to the Encounter Bar."

The Encounter Bar is a high-end bar that has just settled in Xiqiao City. It has been loved by young people since its opening. It is located in the business circle of Dazhong District, with Wuyue Plaza in front and Wanda behind. It has a dense flow of people and is surrounded by various food stores.

Looking at the imposing black and gold sign at the door, the two pushed the door open.

There was heavy metal music playing in the store, and it felt like a heat wave hitting you as you entered the store.

The dazzling laser lights and light-speed lights flashed to the rhythm of the DJ, dazzling people. The sound of music and the aroma of wine mixed together, accompanied by bursts of screams. Boys and girls with heavy makeup stretched their bodies under the stage lights, and the whole place was extremely lively.

As soon as Xu Weixi and Qiao Yi entered the door, they received some unpleasant glances from the bar.

Xu Weixi frowned slightly, looked around, and walked to a waiter wearing a white shirt and black vest uniform, "Hello, where is the staircase?"

The waiter with dyed red hair asked in surprise, "Which floor are you going to?"

"Third floor."

The red-haired waiter looked at them strangely after hearing this, "Do you have a reservation?

"Mu Guanyu, our classmates are having a reunion." Joey opened his phone and showed it to him.

"Okay, please come with me."

The two followed the waiter and walked to a hidden staircase under the curious gazes of the people around them.

This staircase leads directly to the third floor, and the third floor and the first floor seem to be two unconnected worlds.

"Why are there bodyguards?" Joey looked at the burly man in black at the stairs and whispered in Xu Weixi's ear.

"Difference?"

Xu Weixi turned sideways and glanced downward.

The glass near the third floor can see the scene on the first floor. Based on the observation just now, the central glass enclosing the third floor should be single-sided, which is more private.

The lava lamp on the right shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass. The wall is in a unique scale shape, and the light strips on the ground glow faintly, like a fantasy tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is a magnifying glass, which fills the originally tough space with a fantasy atmosphere.

The waiter took them to the middle box on the third floor, bowed politely and went downstairs.

The box is very large and should be able to accommodate at least fifty or sixty people.

The bar is in a straight line, not against the wall, and the countertop is quite wide. In the middle is a row of wine bottles of various shapes, and people can sit on both sides.

Bubbles piled up and poured down from the ceiling. The refraction of lights and wine bottles made the entire tabletop glitter and form the visual center of this box.

On both sides are karaoke stations, board games, pool tables, and some other virtual games.

In fact, except for the time when classmates have just graduated and can organize most of the people, the subsequent gatherings are just small-scale gatherings.

I don’t know if it’s because of the deep friendship among classmates or because they want to integrate their personal networks, but so many people came today.

Mu Guanyu asked them to sit down. Since not everyone had arrived yet, everyone simply greeted each other and started chatting with their close friends.

Xu Weixi looked at the beautifully dressed classmates, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then walked straight to a corner.

The sofas in the corner were arranged in an L shape, with no one around.

"Xibao, let's go play some games. I haven't played video games in a long time."

"Go and have fun, don't worry about me."

Seeing Joey's worried look, she raised her chin slightly and pointed at the video game on the right.

"Well, go have fun. They won't waste their time on me. Adult friendship is very realistic."

"Then it would be wrong for me to abandon you now."

"We are different. Our friendship is young."

Joey nodded, but did not walk away. Instead, she sat down at the song-ordering counter three meters away from her.

Maybe there has been a lot of pressure at home recently, Joey keeps venting by screaming, and the song "Love Until Death" made her sing it frequently and attracted attention.

"Weixi, you're here too." Xu Weixi raised her head and looked at the chubby girl in a black sweatshirt and sweatpants next to her, with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm Yu Wei, do you remember me?" The girl sat down next to her naturally while speaking.

"Long time no see." Xu Weixi remembered that this girl was relatively introverted in the class, sat in the first row, and studied very hard.

"You didn't recognize me, did you? I've gained a lot of weight." Perhaps because her expression was too confused, Yu Wei explained with a smile.

Xu Weixi shook her head slightly and organized her words, "I remember you were very introverted before, so I didn't recognize you at first."

Yu Wei smiled and continued, "I heard that Gu Mochuan and Sun Kexia would come today, so I asked my mother-in-law to help me look after the children and come to see them. I didn't expect to see you again. After you transferred to another school, no one cared about us so much."

Xu Weixi felt a little depressed, not sure if it was because she heard Gu Mochuan's name appear together with others, or because she was thinking back to the reason why she transferred to another school.

"It seems they haven't arrived yet."

...

Perhaps it was motherly instinct, Yu Wei's topic involuntarily shifted to the child, and she kept showing Xu Weixi pictures of the baby on her phone until she received a call.
