The day of the engagement ceremony finally arrived.
Tang Shirong called Zhou Ziyi in the morning: "Ziyi, how are you doing? Do you want me to help you?"
Zhou Ziyi was helpless: "Brother Tang, it's only half past ten. The engagement party doesn't start until half past six in the evening, okay?"
Tang Shirong chuckled: "I thought I had to start dressing up and welcoming people early in the morning. I just thought I got up late. I was dying and sat up in shock, okay?"
Zhou Ziyi ignored his random poetry recitation and said, "This is not a wedding! Besides, there are only three tables today, so there is no complicated process and no need to arrive too far in advance. I will also leave at 3:30 to get my hair done, so don't bother."
Tang Shirong was very surprised: "Why only three tables? With Yan Xiuji's status, it's not possible."
"It seems that the decision was made too hastily, so not many invitations were sent out, and not many people came." Zhou Ziyi thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess part of the reason is to save his father's face."
Tang Shirong didn't understand the last sentence: "...Ah?"
Zhou Ziyi said: "Anyway, don't worry about it, just wait until the afternoon."
Tang Shirong asked again: "You are going to do your styling at 3:30, do you want me to pick you up? I will drive you in my supercar and I will make sure you make a stunning appearance."
Zhou Ziyi: "Don't bother. I finally got Yan Xiuji's car. I'm going to use your car to do my engagement look. Am I crazy?"
Tang Shirong suddenly realized: "Oh yes, yes, you are still professional."
After a pause, Tang Shirong asked again: "What are you doing now?"
Zhou Ziyi: "Watch a show."
Tang Shirong: "What program?"
Zhou Ziyi: "So What If I'm a Little Scheming"
Tang Shirong: “…Ah?”
Zhou Ziyi: "Literally... just understand it as 'How to become a green tea girl'."
Tang Shirong: “Ah?”
Zhou Ziyi: "It's mainly to learn how to show affection in a high-profile way."
Tang Shirong: "Ah???"
***
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Shirong arrived at the hotel where the engagement party was held early with the words "What's wrong with a little green tea" - he remembered it wrong - in his mind.
He wanted to ask Zhou Ziyi what he had learned, so he got the box number and knocked on the door: "...Fuck!"
Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi turned their heads at the same time.
Zhou Ziyi even wiped a tear with his finger: "Brother Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Shirong: You still dare to ask?!
In Tang Shirong's opinion, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan Xiuji and Zhou Ziyi almost face to face! And their faces were so close, so close that there was only ten centimeters left! Tang Shirong subconsciously felt that if he hadn't come, the two would kiss in the next second!
He grabbed the door handle and made “ahhh” sounds several times: “You, you guys are…” Are you serious?
"Oh, there's something wrong with my contact lenses. My eyes hurt. Mr. Yan is helping me check the situation." Zhou Ziyi stretched his fingertips, "Look, I just took it off."
Tang Shirong: “…” Okay, huge misunderstanding.
"However, how come there is not even a mirror in this place?" Tang Shirong finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with confidence. "Shouldn't the lounges arranged by hotels for newlyweds generally have mirrors? Otherwise, it would be difficult for stylists to work, right?"
"Because it was booked at the last minute. There are other newlyweds in the hotel today, so they can use the big space." Zhou Ziyi replied, "But Sister Fei brought a dressing mirror, and the stylist went downstairs to carry it with her, so we'll have a mirror soon."
Tang Shirong nodded: "Oh."
Zhou Ziyi took out his phone again, opened the selfie camera, and handed it to Yan Xiuji: "Boss Yan, help me hold it, I'll put it back on."
Yan Xiuji didn't answer and said calmly, "Don't wear it if you don't feel comfortable."
Zhou Ziyi said, "But it makes the eyes look better when I wear it, right?" He winked at Yan Xiuji as he spoke, "Look, aren't the two sides different?"
Yan Xiuji looked into his eyes.
According to Mr. Yan, the purpose of this cosmetic contact lens is to enlarge the pupil. As for how big the pupil should be to look good, it depends on personal opinion. But in terms of clarity and spirit, the original eyes are better looking.
Zhou Ziyi's pupils are brown, and when facing the light, they have a crystal clear feeling.
Just with a little blood.
"Your eyes are red." Yan Xiuji commented objectively, "You should stay in good shape for today."
When Zhou Ziyi heard that Party A was dissatisfied, he immediately softened his tone: "I was a little nervous and excited at night, and couldn't sleep. I know it's important, but the more I wanted to sleep, the more I couldn't sleep, so I stayed up all night... Sorry."
Yan Xiuji was silent for two seconds.
Then he said, "Take off all your contact lenses."
Zhou Ziyi: "But the bloodshot..."
Yan Xiuji: “Pick it.”
"Okay." Zhou Ziyi responded, still stuffing the phone into Yan Xiuji's hand, and took off the other contact lens facing the front camera.
This time Yan Xiuzhi is willing to be a mobile phone stand.
Tang Shirong: Oh my god, it was not in vain that I read “The Green Tea Cultivation Manual”!
Okay, he forgot what show Zhou Ziyi watched. Anyway, it seems to be quite effective. Zhou Ziyi follows the temper of Party A and guides Party A to cooperate. He is not afraid of not being able to show affection.
Tang Shirong carefully looked at the two people's outfits again and said with emotion: "I have to say, you are really handsome today."
"Really?" Zhou Ziyi took off his contact lenses and put them away, smiling, "I am a man who relies on clothes, but Mr. Yan is very handsome."
Actually, this is a modesty. They looked good when they tried on clothes before, and today they officially put on their makeup and hair, and added a set of jewelry such as brooches, cuffs, and watches, which was really the icing on the cake. Tang Shirong thought that Zhou Ziyi was actually good-looking, but he looked a little depressed due to the pressure in recent years. Today, he was in high spirits and returned to the state of a high-spirited nobleman.
As for Yan Xiuji, this "other people's heir" has always been very handsome. However, he usually dresses more seriously, but today he changed into a white suit, which made him look a little gentler and indeed brighter.
After commenting secretly, Tang Shirong said, "I was worried that I would be too flashy today and steal your limelight. This worry is really unnecessary. Fortunately, I still drove my supercar to the most fashionable spot in the parking lot. Anyone who asks will know that I am your guest."
Hotels usually place sports cars in the most conspicuous positions, and there is no doubt that Tang Shirong has won this honor today.
Zhou Ziyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang, for supporting me."
"Hey, what's there to thank between us..." Tang Shirong felt that Zhou Ziyi's state was a little strange, but thought that it was probably because he was immersed in the role, so he didn't pay much attention. "By the way, Yan Xiuji, are your family here? My dad asked me to say hello to your parents."
"The lounge on the second floor." Yan Xiuji replied, "There are only my mother and my uncle."
"...Ah?" Tang Shirong asked subconsciously, "Your dad hasn't arrived yet?"
Yan Xiuji: “Not coming anymore.”
Tang Shirong: “…” Is there a father who doesn’t even attend his only son’s engagement?
Although I had anticipated that Yan Wenwu would be angry, this was too much, wasn't it? Not even coming to the engagement party, wouldn't this completely embarrass my son?
However, Yan Xiuji probably felt extremely embarrassed by this way of resistance...
Tang Shirong didn't dare to think deeply in front of Yan Xiuji, and waved his hand: "Then I'll go say hello to Aunt Chu and Uncle Chu, see you later. Call me if you need anything."
Zhou Ziyi smiled and replied, "Okay."
Tang Shirong left, and there were two people left in the lounge again. Yan Xiuji sat down, but he kept his back straight and didn't lean on anything. Zhou Ziyi took a glance and felt that he looked like a model, with long arms and legs even when he was sitting.
Yan Xiuji noticed his gaze and said, "You have a good relationship with Tang Shirong."
"Hmm? Oh, that's right." Zhou Ziyi laughed, "We used to play together sometimes and got along well. Later, my family...no one else paid much attention to me, only Brother Tang still cared about me."
Yan Xiuji looked at him.
Zhou Ziyi raised his hand: "There is absolutely no relationship beyond friendship. I will not let Mr. Yan be cuckolded in name only!"
Yan Xiuji immediately looked at him as if he was a lunatic.
After a few seconds, Yan Xiuji said again: "I haven't heard much about you before."
As we all know, "nothing" = "absolutely nothing". Yan Xiuji and Tang Shirong were childhood friends, so they should have been in the same circle. Tang Shirong also had a good relationship with Zhou Ziyi, who used to be able to play with him. In theory, Yan Xiuji should have heard about it.
"My family was just okay before, and then it got a little better. After that... I'm not considered a member of any circle, so it's normal that Mr. Yan hasn't heard of me." Zhou Ziyi replied, "Brother Tang is willing to play with me, it's a favor, I'm lucky."
In fact, Tang Shirong didn't hang out with Yan Xiuji's group, and he had told Zhou Ziyi the reason before. But it was not good to say something behind someone's back, so Zhou Ziyi didn't say a word.
Yan Xiuji said, "He really doesn't hang out in the circle he knew when he was a kid, so it's normal for him to go find someone else to hang out with."
Zhou Ziyi: “Oh.”
Yan Xiuji added: "I don't associate with these people either. They are hypocritical and arrogant. There is no point."
Zhou Ziyi:!!!
——Yan Xiuzhi actually made a comment similar to Tang Shirong’s!
——No wonder these two people with completely different personalities have such a good relationship!
"I'm telling you this to tell you that you won't have too many social events like this in the future." Yan Xiuji looked at Zhou Ziyi, "Even if there are, you don't have to consider me too much and try to please them."
Zhou Ziyi nodded immediately: "I understand. I like what Mr. Yan likes, and I definitely hate what Mr. Yan hates!"
Yan Xiuji frowned and was about to say "Stop it" when the lounge door was knocked again.
Li Fei and the stylist came back carrying a dressing mirror.
Li Fei also wore formal attire today, but she did not hesitate to start the "unpacking" work with the stylist. The two women deftly set up the dressing mirror. Zhou Ziyi wanted to help, but the stylist drove her away, saying that she did not want to dirty the dress.
Zhou Ziyi: Okay.
After the mirror was fixed, Li Fei looked around and decided that there was no urgent matter, so she asked the stylist to leave and closed the door.
"Boss Yan, Xiao Zhou, I just received a message." Li Fei shook her phone, "I want to confirm with you whether we want to do it."
Yan Xiuji interrupted and looked at Zhou Ziyi and asked, "Why don't you sit down?"
Zhou Ziyi said helplessly: "I'm afraid my dress will get wrinkled if I sit in the wrong posture..."
Yan Xiuji: "Sit down."
Party A gave the orders and Party B had no choice but to sit down, but he also followed Party A's example and kept his back straight.
Yan Xiuji then looked at Li Fei and said, "Go ahead."
"Oh!" Li Fei felt that there was a strange atmosphere in the interaction between the two people, but before she had time to think about it, she opened the information interface of her mobile phone.
"I just received a message that a hotel has cancelled an event next month, so the place is now vacant... Do you want to change your wedding date?"
