Chapter Sixty-Five
Xia Yan's brows furrowed involuntarily, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Brother, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years. What's with all this talk of social classes? Don't you know everyone is equal? And Youyou may not be outstanding in appearance, but she's incredibly talented inside..."
For example, she is not greedy, she doesn't accept money or cars offered to her, and she is kind, quiet... In short, she is exceptionally outstanding.
Xia Yan listed all the good things about girls.
Xia Bei's thin, rosy lips curved slightly, and her clear, shallow eyes, framed by long eyelashes, were calm and bright.
He casually fiddled with a white jade pendant strung on a red string on his left wrist with his right hand.
I don't know what she was thinking, but she gently rubbed it with her fingertips.
Meanwhile, the four of them arrived at Yijing Lanting after finishing their meal.
Xu Yan took Jiang You to the changing room to change into a silk bathrobe. The top was a short-sleeved shirt with a small V-neck, paired with bath pants that reached just above the knee.
After changing, walk inside to find a private room in a retro and luxurious Baroque style.
Lu Shi'an and Xue Yun had already changed and were sitting inside, with their feet in the foot bath tub, receiving massages from the masseuse behind them.
As soon as his sweetheart entered, Lu Shi'an stared straight at her: "Xu Yan, sister-in-law, you're here."
The two boys were both quite handsome, their V-neck yukatas revealing their delicate collarbones, and the steam from the water made their faces blush.
Especially Lu Shi'an, with her pure and clean appearance, her face and ears slightly flushed, and her brown eyes looking hazy under the mist, captivating people and making it hard to look away for a long time.
Jiang You was taken aback. Did Lu Shi'an not know how to write "cowardly"? Was he really that bold?
Fortunately, no one cared, and she was assigned to the far right seat.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward, mainly because Xue Yun hadn't uttered a word since being hurt by Xu Yan.
Lu Shi'an slowly shifted his gaze from the girl, and then, as if thinking of something, took on the role of livening up the atmosphere again, talking about their childhood.
Xue Yun: "Haha, Xu Yan, do you remember? When Lu Shi'an first went hunting with a gun in Russia, the recoil made him fall flat on his back and roll down a slope."
"When you fell while skiing in Norway and ripped Bai Shucheng's underwear off, returning to China with two black eyes, I was too embarrassed to mention it," Lu Shi'an said with a smirk. "We grew up together, who doesn't have a dark history with the other?"
As Xu Yan recalled that scene, her expression softened, and she couldn't help but smile.
Bai Shucheng built a private ski resort in Norway and invited them to come and play. Who knew... I still remember that one time, there were quite a lot of girls.
Seeing Xu Yan smile, Xue Yun couldn't help but defend himself: "I... I didn't mean to. Who knew it was his zodiac year, and he was wearing red underwear..."
Bangbang punched him twice, giving him black eyes.
Xu Yan chuckled: "Then do you know that the girl he likes was there at that event?"

The three chatted about everything from the Northern Lights in Finland to diving in the Maldives, horseback riding in Switzerland, and Rome, Italy.
When the conversation turned to the Spanish New Year, there's a custom of eating grapes – twelve grapes to make twelve wishes. Xue Yun misunderstood, thinking he had to finish eating them quickly before making a wish, and almost choked. Just then, seeing the atmosphere return to normal, Lu Shi'an leaned forward, propped his cheek with his hand, looked tenderly at Jiang You, and said with a grin:
"Sister-in-law, what were you doing during the Chinese New Year?"
Xue Yun: "Yeah, why are we the only ones talking about what your sister-in-law was doing during the New Year?"
Xu Yan looked over, her small face showing a desire to hear.
These three people have different personalities, but they all have the same aura: relaxed, confident, and generous.
Jiang You, who had been listening with great interest, seemed to be struck on the head and froze.
How can I put it? The men play cards in the fire pit while the women cook in the kitchen? If you want a cup of milk tea, you have to walk several kilometers to town to buy it?
He couldn't bring himself to say it, especially not to the three people in front of him.
She lowered her eyes, her feet soaking in some kind of medicinal bath, while a masseuse massaged her shoulders behind her. She tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "I don't like going out, so I stay at home when I have nothing to do."
The three of them keenly sensed that the girl didn't want to talk about her, so Xu Yan and Xue Yun smiled and changed the subject, starting a new one.
Lu Shi'an pursed his lips, somewhat at a loss. He just wanted to understand Jiang You, but now, the girl who was about to blend in seemed to have been jolted awake by something and suddenly drifted far away from them, and he didn't know why.
