Chapter 18 The Self-Deceiving Liar

After successfully flattering the system, Lin Xiaodong rushed to the hotel without stopping.

The back garden and lobby of the hotel are open to the public. He originally planned to walk in so generously to find someone. He didn't expect that the last time he "touched porcelain" here was so impressive to the hotel security that he didn't wait to enter the door. Well, they were stopped.

Even the lobby manager came out in person, and politely said to him: "I'm sorry, our small business really can't handle this, let's trouble your company to change the place."

As he said that, he also looked around behind Lin Xiaodong, as if he was afraid that one, two, three, four, five or six yellow hairs would suddenly pop out from the corner.

Lin Xiaodong was speechless for two seconds: "No, I'm here to find someone today."

"I know," said the lobby manager, "looking for a business partner."

"...I'm not here to collect debts, I've changed my career!" Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to show him his work card, "Well, the employees who are hired by serious contracts have to pay social security. I Come to our boss, is there anything wrong?"

The lobby manager gave him a suspicious look.

But in the end, he was let go. Lin Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He walked around the hall and found no one, so he followed the cobblestone path to the garden behind the hotel.

I still remember that the last time he and the bald head were connected here, and it has been so long in a flash.

Lin Xiaodong sighed inwardly, looked away, and saw Gu Xi sitting under the umbrella not far away at a glance.

He walked up to the man, and Gu Xi was obviously surprised to see Lin Xiaodong here.

He asked, "Why are you here?"

Brother, what you said, it was not a misunderstanding and it turned you into a misunderstanding. Lin Xiaodong rolled his eyes secretly, but on the surface he just smiled at him: "Why, you're surprised to see me?"

"No, but..."

Gu Xi frowned and thought about it, as if he suddenly understood something, his expression gradually became solemn.

"You...you didn't misunderstand anything, did you?"

"No, how could it be." Lin Xiaodong sat beside him and kissed the corner of his mouth with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will always trust you."

Gu Xi lowered his eyes and pinched Lin Xiaodong's earlobe punitively.

"Liar liar," he said.

After all, this is a public place. Although there are not many people, the intimacy of the two has attracted the attention of people at a table in the distance. Lin Xiaodong wanted to get a little further away, but Gu Xi firmly took his hand and led him to the main entrance.

The lobby manager was reporting something to a short-haired woman in smart business attire. Seeing Gu Xi and Lin Xiaodong walking hand in hand, he was so surprised that he couldn't even speak, and the woman seemed to be more experienced than him. There are many, and after a brief moment of stunned, he immediately reacted, showing the same perfect and friendly smile as usual: "President Gu, who is this?"

"I'm Lin Xiaodong, the manager of the Gu Group, hello." Gu Xi opened his mouth, Lin Xiaodong was afraid that he would introduce the president's wife as soon as he opened his mouth, so he introduced himself without waiting for the other party to speak.

He was really frightened by the previous book "The Domineering President's Runaway Wife", just a colorful cover can make your scalp tingle. The most terrifying thing is that Gu Xi actually downloaded its audiobook in the car!

"It turned out to be Mr. Lin," the short-haired woman said with a deeper smile on her face, very insightful and proactive, "Gu is always an SVIP-level customer of our hotel. According to the regulations, as long as there is a guarantee of an SVIP user, he can be automatically upgraded to the same level. Members, if you are free now, can you go to the front desk and let our staff go through the membership registration procedures for you? Not only will you be able to enjoy the hotel's swimming pool, bar and Michelin restaurant indefinitely, as long as you contact the hotel when you make a reservation, There is also an automatic upgrade to the Presidential Suite."

From the beginning to the end, she never asked Gu Xi's opinion, but she was impeccable with her thoroughness.

Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Okay."

It seems that today's trip is indeed not in vain.

In the evening, he lay comfortably on the reclining chair by the pool with a straw in his mouth. Taking advantage of the short time when Gu Xi left for the drink, he called Lin Xiamian.

"Xia Mian," his voice switched seamlessly to the disheartened channel the moment the phone was connected, "You're right, I saw him in the hotel."

Before Lin Xiamian could answer, he said again, "But I still can't let him go, Xia Mian, don't persuade me. During this time, let me be alone."

"Brother, where are you now?" Lin Xiamian became anxious when he heard this, "Don't do stupid things!"

"No," the young man gave a wry smile on the phone, and let out a heavy and tired sigh, "Thank you for worrying about me, Xia Mian, I'm sorry, it's all my fault as a brother, and you are innocently involved."

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Xiamian was, he couldn't help feeling guilty when he heard that Lin Xiaodong even apologized to himself, the initiator.

"Brother, please don't say that," he calmed down, but he still did not admit that everything was directed and acted by himself behind the scenes, but doubled the use of Lin Xiaodong's "self-blame" to bring the relationship between the two closer. "I will never blame you. You are my only relative in the world. Only we are the only ones who truly care about each other. You must be good, do you hear?"

"Um."

Lin Xiamian said two more words, and hung up the phone contentedly.

System: "Ding, Good Person Card Fragment +1, Good Person Card +1."

Lin Xiaodong hummed and stared at the black screen of his mobile phone: "Finally done?"

System: "Yes, congratulations, the quest progress in this world has been advanced by 95%, and the only thing left is the piece of Gu Xi's body."

When he mentioned this, Lin Xiaodong murmured. He felt that he had been kind and infatuated in front of Gu Xi. Why didn't the man give the piece to himself?

This afternoon, he was called "little liar"... Could it be that he found something?

"I have to remind you one thing," the system said, "I always feel that there is a strange energy field lingering in this world recently, which seems to be caused by some kind of invading life form, but because I can't contact the headquarters now, I also Can't help you determine its source, you'd better pay attention."

"It's alright," Lin Xiaodong said. "Anyway, it's the last step. I'll leave when I collect this good person card."

He turned over on the reclining chair, and suddenly found that the people around the pool were gone, and the originally brightly lit hotel building was instantly dark.

Lin Xiaodong sat up: "Why, is the power outage?"

Just when he hadn't figured out the situation, a huge firework suddenly burst into the night sky, and the deafening sound startled Lin Xiaodong.

Immediately, the familiar guitar melody rang in his ears.

In the melodious accompaniment of the band, the names of two people lit up on the hotel building.

The young man stood on the edge of the pool wrapped in a bath towel, looked up at the pattern formed by the lights for a few seconds, then raised the corners of his lips, and said to the person behind him without looking back, "I said the look in the eyes of the staff here today. Why is it so weird, it turns out that you are preparing to do this kind of thing."

Gu Xi chuckled softly: "Don't you like it?"

"It's going to cost a lot of money," Lin Xiaodong said. "I like it, even if the society dies, I like it. It's all silver."

He turned around and looked at Gu Xi who had changed into a formal suit at an unknown time. He looked at the man facing him and slowly knelt down on one knee.

What a scheming boy, he thought.

He was dressed so handsomely that he had him wrapped in a bath towel.

"Lin Xiaodong," Gu Xi took out a small velvet box from his arms, opened it, and asked softly, "Will you marry me?"

The staff of the hotel did not know when they all came over, lighting the lighting, video recording, and a large part of the rest was reserved as the atmosphere group. When the other guests in the swimming pool saw this, they also cheered loudly: "Marry him, marry him!"

Lin Xiaodong's face was expressionless, but there was a smile in his eyes: "I don't like the word 'marriage', change it."

Gu Xi changed his words eloquently: "Then are you willing to be my lifelong partner?"

The system also reminded him: "You can think about it."

"I know," Lin Xiaodong was silent for a moment, rarely serious, "it's my fault, I shouldn't delay him."

Now he is left with nothing more than two choices:

First, refuse to let Gu Xi give up in person; second, leave after the task is completed and let the man be widowed.

Either one is scum, Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes and decided to delay for a while.

To be honest, he didn't know how much of his own selfishness was contained in it.

"I would."

In the cheers, Lin Xiaodong lowered his head and watched Gu Xi put the ring on his ring finger without blinking.

But when Gu Xi stood up and wanted to put on the ring himself, Lin Xiaodong stopped him.

Seeing the man's puzzled expression, Lin Xiaodong smiled, took the ring from his hand, and knelt down himself.

"That's how you say it," he scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Whether it's a disease or a pauper? ... Alas, that's what it means anyway, you know."

Gu Xi sighed: "No matter whether he is sick or healthy, healthy or rich, he will always be committed to him until the end of his life."

Lin Xiaodong suddenly realized: "Yes, that's what I want to say!"

As if he didn't see the helpless expression on Gu Xi's face, he grabbed the man's hand and put on a ring for him while repeating this sentence: "I swear, no matter how sick or healthy, whether healthy or rich, I will always treat Gu Xi. Mr. steadfast...until death separates us."

Gu Xi didn't find that Lin Xiaodong tampered with the lines without authorization, or found out, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

The fireworks all over the sky illuminated the night sky. Gu Xi looked deeply at the black-haired young man who was smiling at him, stretched out his hand, and clasped his fingers together. The ring on his ring finger shone under the fireworks.

"Well, until death separates us."
