After finishing get off work and having dinner, the group saw they still had some time, so they decided to go to the karaoke bar that Li Tangyan and the others had visited more than a year ago.
The place was the same, and the people were the same group of people, but the feeling of returning was slightly different.
Wen Zhaonian was still the same as before. Rather than participating, he was more like an observer watching a group of people make a ruckus. Under the mixed lights, he seemed to be coated with a thin layer of white.
When he's not speaking, he exudes a cool and aloof aura.
The group of people were all old acquaintances who always loved to tease each other after work, especially about Li Tangyan and Wen Zhaonian.
After all, although the two seemed to have broken up, there was clearly something wrong with their relationship.
Once the little antennae of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) start moving, there's no stopping them.
However, everyone knew that Wen Zhaonian was rather cold-hearted, so even if they directed their anger at him, they wouldn't get the desired effect.
Thus, unsurprisingly, when they were most excited, Li Tangyan, who was easier to win over than Wen Zhaonian, became the "target of attack".
Xiang Xiang pulled a can of beer from the bag, and with a snap of his knuckles, the beer sizzled as it came out, accompanied by a cheerful laugh.
"Seeing these things suddenly reminded me of some things."
"What? What?" Zhou Sui, the best straight man in the law firm, came over the moment she realized what he was trying to do.
Then, following his gaze, she glanced at the beer in the bag and chuckled.
Before Li Tangyan could react, he nudged her arm, his expression somewhat meaningful: "Li Zi, beer or milk?"
"???"
Li Tangyan didn't react for a moment, and her expression looked a little dazed.
Meanwhile, Zheng Chuanyi, who was sitting next to Wen Zhaonian, had already taken out a bottle of milk from inside.
As she tossed him into Wen Zhaonian's arms, a sly smile spread across her face: "Of course it's milk."
"After all, Chestnut is still hoping to take her 'son' out to collect entrance fees."
"You agree, huh~" As he spoke, Zheng Chuanyi, not wanting to be beaten up enough, turned around and raised his head at Wen Zhaonian again.
“…”
As soon as Zheng Chuanyi finished speaking, apart from Zhang Mian, who had missed the opportunity to witness the old history and looked puzzled, Li Tangyan, who finally remembered the matter amidst the teasing, blushed instantly.
She laughed and scolded the people next to her, trying to avoid their gaze, but somehow she met a pair of dark eyes on the other side.
Under the colorful lights, everything in the private room seemed to be shrouded in a hazy glow.
Li Tangyan gritted her teeth, unsure if it was just her imagination, but before she looked away, she vaguely saw the corner of his lips slightly upturned.
thump--
thump--
Unbeknownst to her, Li Tangyan felt her heart beating faster and faster. She hurriedly lowered her eyes, but felt that the gaze had not moved an inch, and even had a hint of burning intensity, making her unconsciously curl her fingers.
Fortunately, the group was quite sensible, and after a while, the joking and teasing subsided, and they returned to the game.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed again.
She hadn't eaten much that night, and now that she was relaxed after being nervous, she started to feel hungry again.
Fortunately, she had a few packets of beef jerky in her pocket, and with that in mind, Li Tangyan took out a packet while they were changing songs.
As soon as it was opened, the baby, who was one year old, came over with a smile and said, "I want one too!"
She placed her hands flat in front of Li Tangyan, blinked her round eyes, and spoke in a soft voice in a coquettish manner.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan pretended to be displeased and glanced at her, but still took out a new bag from her pocket and gave it to Zhou Sui without any hesitation.
The baby took a bite, his cheeks puffing out slightly with each chew, looking rather adorable: "This is so delicious! Where did you buy it? I want to stock up on some too."
Li Tangyan shook her head; judging from her expression, Zhou Sui hadn't had enough to eat yet.
Then he simply put all the remaining stuff in his pocket into her hand, and bit into the beef jerky he had taken apart earlier. The slightly sweet and spicy taste quickly spread in his mouth.
"It's not for sale. My aunt made it. If you want some, I'll bring you some more next time."
"Okay~ As expected, our Chestnut is the best, love you~"
"No, you should go back to your husband. I'm afraid he'll assassinate me tonight."
"Hahaha, I hate it!"
…
Li Tangyan and Zhou Sui were not far from Wen Zhaonian and the others, so their conversation was inevitably heard by him.
Zheng Chuanyi, who was replying to messages with his head down, obviously did not notice the commotion on the other end. When he looked up again and was about to say something to Wen Zhaonian, he saw that Wen Zhaonian's lips were pursed and his dark eyes were fixed on the beef jerky in Li Tangyan's hand.
Zheng Chuan watched for a while, and not knowing whether he was genuinely stupid or pretending, he immediately laughed: "What, are you hungry?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Tangyan.
With a slight smile, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks, she said, "How about I go get one for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhaonian's voice became noticeably deeper.
"Very free?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuan simply raised an eyebrow, not finding anything wrong with it at all: "No, I just love watching plays."
"I especially love watching your videos."
“…”
As the two were talking, Zhou Sui, who had been listening to the whole thing, nudged Li Tangyan's arm and handed her a packet.
Then he gestured towards Wen Zhaonian with his lip: "Do you want to talk to him?"
