Chapter 104 "Really, an unexpected surprise."
"Senior?"
Hearing this name, which he hadn't heard in a long time, Jiang Jie's eyes darkened, his gaze fixed on the newcomer's face. After a while, he spoke softly, enunciating each word, "Cheng Yue Feng."
There is a trailing sound between each word, lingering and light, yet inexplicably mixed with a hint of imperceptible coolness.
"It's me, Senior," the handsome man said, pushing his glasses down and looking at his surprised face. "I never thought I'd run into you again!"
"I didn't expect that either." Jiang Jie stood up from the chair he was leaning against, his lips curled up, his eyebrows curved as he looked at him, much friendlier than he had been with the others just now. "It really is an unexpected surprise."
Lin Mian turned to look at him, frowning, with that same smile again.
"Hey," Liang Nan looked around in surprise. "Captain Cheng, do you know him?"
"Of course, we're university alumni, from the same major. I'm a year younger than you," Cheng Yuefeng's eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia. He sighed as he fixed his gaze on the other person's face. "It's been years since we last met. I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime. I never expected..."
Jiang Jie kept smiling as he spoke, occasionally glancing at him, and the smile on his face deepened. Qi Shang was here too, and with Liu Yang, they were all together, so nice.
"In that case, why don't you sit together and reminisce about the past?" Liang Qun stood up and gave up the seat next to Jiang Jie, moved to the side, and gestured to the other party.
Jiang Jie tilted his head to the side and said, "Brother Cheng, come and sit here."
"Okay." Cheng Yuefeng agreed happily, and as he stepped forward, he gestured to the two people following him to find a seat.
They looked at each other and sat down in the nearest empty seat.
The other psychics present at the scene saw this unexpected situation and didn't know what they were thinking. They just watched him sit down in silence.
"Okay, almost everyone in the district has arrived, let's start eating." Liang Nan received the signal from his elder brother, clapped his hands, and did not engage in any awkward toasting. Jiang Jie and the others probably didn't like this kind of false courtesy.
After she said this, the place started to liven up. Everyone ate as they should and talked as they should, but more or less everyone glanced towards the main seat.
"Senior, I'm so glad to see you're safe and sound." Cheng Yuefeng turned sideways to face the man beside him. The surprise in his eyes had not yet faded as he looked him over carefully. "After all these years, you're still as handsome as ever. I remember a lot of girls chasing after you when we were in school."
Jiang Jie's arm rested casually on the back of the chair, and he leaned slightly to the side to listen to him speak. His expression and attitude remained gentle, as if he was reminiscing about his school days. "Junior Cheng, weren't you quite popular in school back then? Every time I saw you, you were always surrounded by friends."
"I just like socializing," Cheng Yuefeng seemed a little embarrassed as he adjusted the temple of his glasses. "I didn't expect that senior still remembered it."
"Of course," Jiang Jie smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I was deeply impressed by you, my junior."
"It's great to meet you again. Let me offer a drink to you, senior." Cheng Yuefeng reached out and took the bottle of wine, poured it for him himself, then poured himself a glass and handed it over.
Jiang Jie picked up the glass of wine out of courtesy, clinked it lightly with his, tilted his head back and drank it. The smile in his half-closed eyes disappeared at this moment.
They were chatting happily over there. Liang Nan glanced over curiously from time to time. Seeing that they were toasting each other, she felt even more surprised. She had never seen Jiang Jie so friendly to anyone except Lin Mian. He was just a little gentler to Liu Yang before.
Thinking of this, she looked at the little rabbit beside her. The little rabbit was eating in silence and did not come over to interrupt. He just turned his head occasionally to look at the two of them, not disturbing their conversation. He was very well behaved.
Liang Nan felt soft-hearted when he saw this, thinking that Brother Jiang was busy with alumni gatherings and had no time to care about the good little rabbit. He didn't know anyone else at the table, so he had to take good care of him.
She took two pieces of heated braised beef from the vacuum packaging from the plate closest to her and placed them on the plate in front of him. "Come on, Lin Mian, eat more. Don't be polite to me."
Seeing the beef falling on his plate, Lin Mian, who had just taken a bite, bit his chopsticks and blinked, then looked up and smiled, "Thank you."
"Hey, no big deal," Liang Nan clapped his hands casually, then rolled his eyes and leaned over, "Shall we have a drink too?"
Lin Mian paused for a moment after hearing this. He still remembered the last time he got drunk and blacked out. To this day, he didn't know what embarrassing thing he did after getting drunk. He only remembered that Jiang Jie "morally kidnapped" him for a long time. Jiang Jie said that he had teased him and taken advantage of him, and he asked for a lot of "compensation" for this.
For the sake of his waist, he thought it would be better for him not to drink anymore.
But in the short time he was thinking about it, Liang Nan had already poured wine into his glass and said, "If you don't drink much, just take a sip. We're just doing this for the sake of good mood."
The other party looked like a good boy who had hardly drunk any alcohol. How could Liang Nan possibly bully him?
Lin Mian thought about it and didn't refuse. As long as he didn't get drunk, it would be fine.
Jiang Yan, who seemed not to be paying attention to them but was actually listening to them, glanced to the side but did not say anything to stop them.
"Come, let's celebrate our reunion belatedly." Liang Nan reached out and clinked his cup with his, then drank it in one gulp generously.
Lin Mian was so fast that he didn't have time to stop her. Then looking at her expression, she looked as relaxed as if she had just drunk a glass of water. He couldn't help but think that she was really a heroine.
But he knew how bad he was, so he didn't show off. He just took a small sip. When he tasted the spicy taste, he still frowned in discomfort.
He stuck out his tongue slightly, put down the wine glass, picked up the beef Liang Nan had just given him from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing with his cheeks puffed up. It turned out that he was not suitable for drinking.
Liang Nan looked at him, his hands itching to poke him, but after glancing at Jiang Yan on the other side, he backed off.
"Mr. Jiang, why is he only chatting with his junior? Let's have a drink too." After eating for a while, someone couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Yan looked up at the voice and this time he didn't choke. He raised his glass generously and said, "Well, I should thank you all for your hospitality."
He took the cup and walked around, looking at the people present with different expressions. "Cheers to everyone."
After saying this, he drank the glass of wine.
"Senior, you are so polite. I'll have a drink with you first." Cheng Yuefeng took the lead and had a drink.
The others also drank some wine.
Lin Mian looked around and took a small sip for the last time. He couldn't drink any more. Although his head didn't feel dizzy, his cheeks felt a little hot.
"Mr. Jiang is also a straightforward person. No wonder the district chief and others are on good terms with you. It would be a shame if you didn't stay in our safe zone."
She was beating around the bush, or was she trying to test whether he would stay.
At present, the psychics in the safe zone have barely reached a balance. Although they are suppressed by Liang Nan, they can restrain each other.
If one more stone falls at this time, ripples will appear on the calm lake surface. Everyone wants to see whether the stone will fall and where it will fall.
At present, it seems that Cheng Yuefeng has a more advantageous relationship with him, but it is also possible that he was brought back by the district chief and may become the other party's new "personal guard".
Or maybe, there will be another captain in their district.
But faced with such temptation, Jiang Jie just smiled and said nothing, letting them guess. At the same time, he clinked glasses with Cheng Yuefeng beside him.
Many people followed his gaze to the other person, and everyone had some unknown thoughts in their mind.
Cheng Yuefeng's mentality was very stable, as if he didn't notice those gazes. He picked up a piece of sausage with chopsticks and said, "I've been drinking so much. Senior, eat something too."
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes to glance at the sausage, then raised his eyes and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Cheng."
But after he finished speaking, he didn't pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
There was no extra expression on Cheng Yuefeng's face. He lowered his head and took a few bites of food.
Lin Mian, who was already half full, glanced at the man next to him. So far, the man had only drunk wine.
He was smiling the whole time today and seemed to be in a very good mood because of the reunion with his junior.
But Lin Mian understood him and knew that the man was not so happy at the moment. Ever since the man named Cheng Yuefeng came in, there seemed to be an unmeltable ice in his eyes.
The gentler his smile, the stronger the underlying coldness became, yet paradoxically, there was also an indescribable sense of excitement.
Lin Mian's gaze fell on Cheng Yuefeng for a moment again. He felt that this person was more of a concern to Jiang Jie than Liu Yang, but not in a positive way.
He didn't know why, but he knew now was not the time to explore, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, picked up a piece of beef he had just tasted with chopsticks, and placed it on the man's plate, next to the sausage, "Brother, this is delicious, try it."
If you just drink alcohol, even a person with strong physical abilities may feel uncomfortable in the stomach. After all, they are still human beings.
Jiang Yan, holding the wine glass, turned his head and looked at his concerned face. His cheeks were still red because he had just drunk some wine.
Lin Mian stared at him without blinking, and then the other party reached out and rubbed his face with his knuckles. He watched him put down the wine glass in his other hand, picked up the chopsticks and ate the beef he had picked up.
Cheng Yuefeng's gaze followed and he saw the sausage still lying alone on the plate, seemingly forgotten. He raised his gaze, passed Jiang Yan beside him, and for the first time landed on the unfamiliar young man. He raised his lips and smiled, "I was so busy reminiscing about the past that I didn't notice. Senior, who is this?"
Hearing his question, Jiang Yan raised his hand and placed his arm on the back of Lin Mian's chair, in a semi-enclosed position, "My boyfriend."
Cheng Yuefeng's eyes paused slightly, and he raised his hand to push up his glasses. The reflection from the lenses just blocked his eyes. He asked in surprise, "What? Senior is in love, and with a boy?"
It was a normal reaction, but Lin Mian suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, which made him subconsciously raise his hand and touch his arm.
