This garden is really impressive; they even have uniforms, which shows they're very professional.
However, I noticed that the colors of their belts varied, with blue and green being the most common, while purple was relatively rare.
Is this the employee level?
"Please go ahead." The person waiting at the bottom of the stairs extended a hand to invite Feng Su to go first.
Feng Su walked up the stairs with ease, and I followed behind her. From the higher vantage point, I was able to observe the entire Qingyuan Garden.
The stage at Qingyuan was at the very front, and the audience was packed. The first three rows had comfortable, spacious chairs, with a small table between each chair, on which snacks were served. The rear rows didn't have such good treatment; the chairs were neatly arranged in rows, both in size and spacing, and there were no small tables with snacks. Further back, a dense crowd stood at the very back. This standing area was also separated from the seating area by a fence.
I didn't have time to take a closer look at the other places before the porch blocked my view. When I went upstairs, rows of rooms with different styles were lined up. Feng Su stopped at one of the rooms and opened the door with a push of his hand.
Pushing open the door, you'll find a square area resembling a balcony, surrounded by red wooden railings on the front, left, and right. There are four large, comfortable recliners with backrests and light blankets on them, and a huge table in front of them, easily reachable from any position.
This is truly VIP treatment compared to downstairs. It seems that Feng Su has spent a lot of money at Qingyuan.
I casually sat down in the chair closest to me, while Feng Su and Hao sat down on either side of me.
The room has an excellent location, offering a direct view of the stage performance.
Feng Su is quite something, managing to get this position.
From my observation, Qingyuan is definitely the best theater in Sun and Moon City. There are many officials of all ranks in Sun and Moon City, each with complex relationships and powerful backgrounds.
"Feng Su, how did you get such a good spot?" I asked, leaning my head to the side as I comfortably reclined in my chair.
“I’m learning from Youyuan. Youyuan knows that Hao and I like to go out and play, so he gave me a token.” Before Feng Su could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Feng Su stopped talking and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."
The door opened with a sound, and I turned around to see that the person from before had come in. This time, it wasn't just him; he was followed by two or three people dressed in blue clothes, but their belts were all green. It seems that purple is a level higher than green.
The person turned around and took out various sizes of plates from the tray held by the waiter with the blue belt, placing them in front of us one by one. Finally, three glasses of red juice were brought out. I took a look and realized that this was the cloyingly sweet juice unique to the Abyss. This juice was extremely sweet and was Hao and Feng Su's favorite.
The person placed the last glass of juice in front of me and said, "This juice is the favorite of Young Master Feng and Young Master Hao, and it's also a special drink of our Qingyuan. Try it and see. If you don't like it, we'll give you another one."
"Thank you." I gave a faint smile.
"You're too kind, young master." The man replied simply, bowed to us again, and then left.
It truly lives up to its VIP treatment; everything is provided. Looking at the dazzling array of pastries on the table in front of me, I couldn't resist picking the one closest to me and putting it in my mouth.
I lay back in the chair, watching the performance below the stage. The angle of the chair was just right so that it was perfectly aligned with the stage, and it was effortless.
No wonder Feng Su and Hao Ai came here; isn't this the best place to kill time?
At that moment, a person was standing on the stage telling jokes, which made the audience burst into laughter from time to time. I gradually became engrossed in listening and laughed along with his jokes.
After that person finished speaking and left, I finally remembered why I had come here in the first place.
"By the way, Feng Su, what about the girl you like?" I asked.
Feng Su looked around from below the stage for a while before replying, "Perhaps she doesn't have a performance today..."
"You're such a terrible suitor, you didn't even know she had a show on."
Feng Su scratched his head and said helplessly, "Qingyuan's performances are not fixed. I've been here several times but I still haven't figured out the pattern of Qingyuan's programs."
I sniffed, and instantly felt that Feng Su not only lacked intelligence, but also had low emotional intelligence...
"If you haven't figured it out, you can ask!" I said, exasperated.
"I..." Feng Su stammered.
"Feng Su was too embarrassed to ask..." Hao said with a sly smile as he ate his snacks.
"You..." Feng Su stared at Hao with a flushed face. Hao stuck out his tongue in dissatisfaction and continued to complain to me, "Not only does it not dare to ask, but it also won't let me ask. Every time I say I'll ask for him, Feng Su refuses no matter what. He insists that I'm with him. If I ask, won't I be exposed?"
I was speechless. How come I never noticed before that Feng Su was actually thin-skinned? Feng Su used to be quite bold, and often even had a thick skin. How come she became so timid at crucial moments?
Is it really true that love makes girls bolder and boys timid?
But Feng Su is too timid. When will he ever win the heart of his beauty?
I sighed and said, "Feng Su, you should know what Ning'er's full name is, right?"
I was terrified that Feng Su would say he didn't know, or I'd be furious.
"I know..." Feng Su's voice was barely audible, "Leng Ning."
Leng Ning? That name sounds rather cold, and I get the feeling she'd be a cool and aloof beauty. But I haven't met her yet, so it's not appropriate to make a judgment based solely on her name.
"So it seems we can only rely on luck today?" I asked.
"Hmm..." Feng Su's weak voice came through, then continued, "Perhaps Ning'er will come out soon..."
"I'll just ask directly..." After saying that, I turned around to call someone.
"No!" Feng Su quickly stopped me, pulling my hand. "Master, don't ask..." Feng Su looked at me pleadingly.
"Okay..." I nodded. Forget it, I'll just let things take their course. If they are truly in love, even if the process is a bit tortuous, it might not be a bad thing.
As an outsider, I'd better not get involved and leave it to Feng Su.
However, while I was thinking this, I didn't stop talking. "Feng Su, this won't do. You need to take the initiative, you know?"
Although I can't participate directly, I can still give Feng Su some advice. Otherwise, as a complete novice in love, Feng Su will really have to wait forever.
