Chapter 129: The Hongmen Banquet
To be honest, Ye An was most afraid of Bai Ke. This person always gave him a feeling of being unpredictable.
His behavior at this moment further confirms this.
Lucas didn't know what to reply at first, and Ji Xingyan next to him was also a little embarrassed.
He couldn't refuse Bai Ke directly for any reason, after all, this man represented the Bai family.
It was Lucas who reacted first and took the initiative, grabbing his hand. "It's my honor to have dinner with Senior Bai. What do you think, Ji?"
He turned and looked at Ji Xingyan.
Ji Xingyan couldn't figure out what Bai Ke was up to, so he just politely agreed to the suggestion. "Thank you so much, Senior Bai!"
After saying that, he stepped back and stood beside Ye An, saying softly, "Be careful." Lucas, who had been chatting with Bai Ke in the front, was even more agitated, and gestured to Ye An with his back turned.
Ye An looked like a Naruto hand seal, and it was impossible to understand it.
Where did this middle school boy come from?
Finally, several people got into Bai Ke's car together. Ye An had Lucas on his left and Ji Xingyan on his right, which squeezed him tightly. Bai Ke didn't mind and continued to sit in the front row.
But Ye An was very reluctant to this arrangement. He originally wanted to sit with Luo Xin Qiuyi and the others.
It’s a pity that those two idiots are still too timid.
So Ye An was once again forced to be caught in the middle. Fortunately, this time, perhaps because Bai Ke was there, the two seemed to be much more obedient. They were now clearly on high alert, working together to resist the foreign enemy.
Ji Xingyan was so nervous that he even forgot to inform the two people who had arrived earlier, which resulted in them seeing the stunned faces of Ye Lan and Xiao Jingyao when they entered the venue.
The two were still arguing over seating arrangements, as it was a large round table and both wanted to sit next to Ye An. In the end, they couldn't come to a conclusion, and they sat far apart, as if they were sulking.
However, after the others came in, the originally competitive atmosphere between them changed instantly. When the two saw Bai Ke leading Ye An and the others in, their faces immediately darkened.
Even though they were far apart, they understood each other's meaning at this moment. They didn't understand why Bai Ke came to join in the fun?
And Ji Xingyan actually asked him to come?
Ji Xingyan, who entered the venue later, also winked at the two of them secretly, "I happened to run into Senior Bai Ke when I was leaving the school gate. He insisted on treating me to a meal, and it was hard to refuse his kindness."
The two immediately understood what he meant. Ye Lan stood up and acted as the official spokesperson, "That's great."
I felt that Bai Ke was really annoying, and I didn't know what he was doing here today.
They all were annoyed with Bai Ke. He was not much older than them, but he insisted on pretending to be their elder.
Ye An felt helpless as he watched the tense atmosphere between them from behind. This meal was definitely not going to be just a meal.
Ye Xiaoan was very alert at the moment. There were six people with ill intentions towards him and two idiots on the scene, so Qiu Yi and Luo Xin must sit on the two seats on his left and right.
He was just about to grab the hands of the two and find a place to sit down, but he saw Ye Lan waving directly at him, "Be good, Xiao An, come sit next to your brother."
Ye An: “…”
There was a moment of dead silence on the scene.
Ye An felt that he couldn't even lift his legs, as if that was not a seat but a devil's cave.
But Lucas, who was standing next to him at this time, pinched his arm, suggesting that he should listen to Ye Lan.
Ye An sighed deeply, and finally walked over helplessly.
Bai Ke also made a move at this moment. He was about to follow the crowd, but Lucas grabbed his arm. This European and American handsome guy who looked not very smart looked at him with a smile.
"Since Senior Bai is hosting a banquet to thank me, he should sit with me!"
He said it as if it was a joke, and the remaining few people were indeed relieved.
After Lucas said this, he stopped the person. Originally, the host had a specific seat, and Ye An's seat was deliberately taken far away by Ye Lan. Originally, Bai Ke could sit anywhere since they were all classmates, but now he and Lucas had to sit in the main seat.
Bai Ke's eyes darkened, and then he immediately started to be polite, "Student Lucas is right, I almost forgot."
"Then why are you all still standing? Sit down."
The host took his seat, and the rest of the group found their own seats. The seating arrangement was quite interesting.
Bai Ke and Lucas sat together, with Xiao Jingyao next to them, and the two of them held Bai Ke tightly.
Ye An felt that this arrangement was very reasonable. Judging from their strength on paper, Lucas and Xiao Jingyao were indeed the strongest among them.
Next to them were the Qiu Yiluoxin duo, Ye Lan, Ye An, and Ji Xingyan.
Several people formed a circle, but Ye An felt that this location was not very safe.
Ye Lan and Ji Xingyan are obviously not good people either.
The atmosphere at the table was very strange. No one spoke on their side, but Lucas and Bai Ke were having a great conversation.
The two chatted from the weather to politics and then to the stock market, as if they were uncles who chatted with Ye An at the dinner table when he returned home during the Spring Festival.
Ye An was suddenly speechless.
However, the atmosphere became much better after the dishes were served, mainly because Qiuyi and Luoxin really enjoyed the food.
Of course, the same is true for eucalyptus.
The main thing is that he doesn't have to pick up the food himself. There are two fully automatic food-picking robots beside him. Whatever food comes to him is directly put into his bowl. While Ye An is eating, he finds that the food in his bowl is getting more and more, not less.
Especially when two people start working on something at the same time, they start competing with each other. They seem to be trying to see who can grab more, grabbing faster and faster, with no intention of leaving any space for others.
Ye An watched helplessly as the vegetables in front of him slowly piled up into a small mountain.
His face was full of black lines.
Qiu Yi and Luo Xin, who had been enjoying their meal, now stared at Ye An with resentment. This restaurant was known for being very stingy. The food was delicious, but the portions were small. Now that the two young masters had given it all to Ye An, what were they supposed to eat?
Under this intense gaze, Ye An suddenly looked up and met their eyes.
Then he looked at the food on his plate which was more than the food on the turntable.
Eucalyptus:......
He immediately stopped her, "No, I'll finish these first."
His chopsticks stuck the hands of the two people who continued to pick food for him, and only then did Ye Lan and Ji Xingyan stop and no longer fight.
"You two should behave yourself."
Although the tone of voice was light, the two people sitting next to him felt inexplicably happy listening to it, and Ji Xingyan completely got the point.
He seemed to have discovered his own secret in this matter.
He seemed to like Ye An to control him, and it would be best if she could just look down on him with those beautiful eyes.
Ji Xingyan felt himself getting increasingly excited.
The people under the table couldn't see him, but he had already secretly moved his legs against the man's knees, getting closer and closer.
