"How about I drink?"
After thinking it over, Li Tangyan decided to put up a fight to the death.
However, they pushed him forward mercilessly.
As Li Tangyan approached the gate, the expressions on their faces seemed blurred by the interplay of light.
Before turning around, Li Tangyan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on Yao Qing's parted lips. She quickly understood the meaning behind her words.
--hurry up.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan couldn't help but twitch her lips. But she didn't resist anymore, and as she turned around, she started walking towards the door.
Snap—
Li Tangyan stood to one side, and as the footsteps gradually approached amidst the noisy environment, she placed her hand on her chest to calm herself for a moment.
At the same time, the rotating overhead spotlights shone in this direction, and the blinding light stretched the shadows cast by the person as they were about to walk in.
Surrounded by light and shadow, Li Tangyan took a big step forward before she could even see the person's face.
As Li Tangyan vaguely heard Yao Qing gasp from not far away, she closed her eyes.
Before the person could leave, she gritted her teeth and blurted out, "Darling, you've finally arrived!"
Li Tangyan's voice wasn't very loud, and it quickly disappeared into the melodious singing that followed.
However, it's unclear whether she was just being too nervous and had some kind of illusion.
All that is known is that the moment she opened her mouth, the group of people who had been talking when they came in suddenly fell silent.
"Oh no, porridge... you're doomed!"
Not far away, Yao Qing's deliberately lowered voice came again.
Li Tangyan, who had her eyes closed, didn't react for a moment, but turned around after hearing the sound.
Her high ponytail swept a faint lime scent onto the person as she moved, but Li Tangyan didn't notice.
She simply looked in Yao Qing's direction, tilted her head, and blinked uncomfortably as the light shone into her eyes.
? ? ?
You're finished!
Li Tangyan watched as Yao Qing silently mouthed the words to her. By the time she finally understood what Yao Qing meant, before she could even feel curious...
Behind me, a familiar voice slowly came from above.
Li Tangyan, who was standing, unconsciously froze for a moment.
"Honey?"
"Haven't seen you for a year, and you've become so charming now?"
Wen Zhaonian's voice didn't carry much emotion, but those two short sentences inexplicably made her feel a bit pressured.
She pursed her lips, her hands hanging at her sides clenching and unclenching.
After a while, Li Tangyan turned around to face the person behind her.
"What a coincidence."
It seems that Wen Zhaonian has grown a little taller since I last saw him a year ago.
Her features remained unchanged; she looked just like everyone else.
However, she seemed increasingly aloof than before, and when she looked down at herself, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Standing next to him were two other people, a man and a woman. The woman was standing next to Wen Zhaonian and was looking at him with curiosity.
Li Tangyan tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Pan Le glanced at the two of them, then his gaze fell on Wen Zhaonian as he asked with a hint of probing, "Zhao, do you two know each other?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhaonian's gaze remained fixed on the person in front of him.
Under one's gaze, the first thing that catches the eye is still her subconscious tugging at the clothes on the side, and the hair that falls down as she lowers her head.
In a daze, Wen Zhaonian recalled the feeling of her long hair brushing against his chest as she moved.
A slight itch settled on my heart, like being gently brushed by a feather.
The eyelashes in front of my eyes trembled, casting a small shadow.
His darkened eyes were instantly concealed, and he spoke, his voice slightly deep: "Mm."
"In that case, let's get together!"
"No, my companions are waiting for me."
Pan Le hadn't finished speaking when Li Tangyan interrupted him.
She raised her head slightly, met Wen Zhaonian's gaze, and quickly looked away.
She gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
As she turned around, her lowered voice gradually faded into the distance as Li Tangyan walked away.
"I was just playing truth or dare, it wasn't intentional."
"Feel sorry..."
*
When Li Tangyan returned, Yao Qing had already walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Li Tangyan shook her head and then casually found a seat to sit down.
Seeing this, the others wanted to ask more questions, but Yao Qing stopped them first.
As time went on, the others noticed that she was losing interest and stopped trying to keep Li Tangyan playing. They quickly changed the subject with smiles.
The melodious singing paused briefly at the end of the song, and when it started again, it had been replaced by another love song.
Li Tangyan held a can of beer in her hand, the coolness turning into water droplets that slid down her fingertips to the ground.
She parted her lips slightly, gently biting the edge of the beer can between her teeth, and remained motionless for a long time.
After a while, I couldn't tell if it was the alcohol that clouded my judgment or something else.
Before she knew it, Li Tangyan had turned her head slightly, and her gaze quickly and accurately landed on a corner of the bar.
Over there, where there were originally only three people, several more people had appeared at some point.
They seemed to be talking about something, and most of them had smiles on their faces.
The girl who had initially come with him was still sitting next to Wen Zhaonian.
The two exchanged a few words every now and then, creating an indescribably harmonious scene.
Suddenly, Li Tangyan felt a dryness in her throat, and her chest felt like it was blocked by something, making her feel suffocated with nowhere to vent.
His brow furrowed slightly, and soon a very soft humming sound came out amidst the noisy environment.
Distracted, I saw her raise the hand holding the beer, then tilt her head back to drink it.
However, before the taste of the beer could even spread between his lips and teeth, his gaze was immediately caught by someone.
His eyes were dark, and the thoughts in them were unfathomable.
Cough cough cough—
In a flash, Li Tangyan, who had choked, hurriedly looked away and took a tissue from the person next to her. Soon after, her face turned red from coughing.
On the other hand, Pan Le's topic went unanswered, and when he turned his head, he found that Wen Zhaonian's attention had shifted elsewhere at some point.
Following his gaze, upon seeing the person coughing with their head down, his expression immediately became complicated.
Then, she turned back to look at Wen Zhaonian, wanting to say something, but in the end she held it all back.
Wen Zhaonian, standing to the side, did not notice that something was wrong with Pan Le.
His gaze fell calmly on Li Tangyan not far away, and the helplessness he had just caught in Li Tangyan's eyes flashed through his mind. He smiled slightly.
However, just a moment later, when Wen Zhaonian's gaze fell on the beer can she was still holding in her hand, the color in his eyes immediately darkened.
