The guard standing nearby wanted to stop her, but seeing that his master didn't intend to speak, he obediently shut his mouth, secretly thinking that this girl was truly ignorant and fearless. She dared to take anyone's things without even asking.
Xu Keke had no idea that she had just tugged at the lion's whiskers, comfortably nestled on the sofa, slowly sipping her tea, and was inwardly marveling at the high level of this club. Even the tea casually served to guests was top-grade Da Hong Pao. She was still pondering whether she could ask Du Jue to talk to Fu Kai and ask him to get her two jin (about 1 kg) before she left.
While Xu Keke was happily sipping her tea, Su Wan on the other side of the stage had already amazed everyone.
In a place dominated by men, the presence of a woman naturally makes it stand out. Especially when this woman is also adept at playing with things that are traditionally considered men's activities, she becomes even more eye-catching.
Although they were far away, it was more obvious than if they were close by. Xu Keke saw that Du Jue and Du Wei were constantly huddled next to Su Wan.
She even noticed that not only the guards standing in the room, but also the man next to her, all had their eyes fixed on Su Wan and never looked away from her.
On the contrary, Li Dakang, the cousin, stood on the outermost line, shooting with Fu Kai and exchanging a few words every now and then. He hadn't paid any attention to Su Wan's side.
Xu Keke was puzzled. Judging from their appearance, the two seemed to have a purely platonic cousin relationship. So why did Su Wan react this way when they first met? She clearly saw that Su Wan's expression changed only after she saw her.
Xu Keke was still observing when Du Wei walked over, looking dejected and unhappy.
Xu Keke poured him a cup of tea, but the little guy didn't know how to appreciate it. He gulped it down and frowned. He didn't want to drink it, and Xu Keke was afraid he would waste it. She quickly moved the teacup aside.
She was unaware of her own stingy behavior, but it had already been noticed by those around her.
At first, Du Wei refused to say why he was unhappy. Xu Keke's casual remark led the little guy to let it slip. It turned out that Du Jue was less skilled than her, and not only was he laughed at by Su Wan, but she also said some unpleasant things.
Du Jue herself was fine, but Du Wei felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Xu Keke understood his thoughts. In Du Wei's heart, his older brother Su Jue was a near-perfect elder brother. He could tolerate others laughing at him, but he couldn't stand it when others laughed at Su Jue. Unfortunately, he had been raised to be somewhat rule-abiding, and when he was unhappy, he would only sulk in silence.
Xu Keke glanced inside; Du Jue himself seemed genuinely unconcerned. With Du Wei absent, he was actually practicing even more intently. Xu Keke gently patted Du Wei's head.
"You've come all this way, why let irrelevant people affect your mood? What others say, good or bad, doesn't matter. You're unhappy because you think they're right. But people aren't static; being weak now doesn't mean you'll always be weak. Know where you're weak, and once you've improved, you'll become stronger."
Seeing the little guy still frowning, Xu Keke pinched his cheek and teased him, "Alright, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Don't compare your weaknesses to other people's strengths. Look at me, I can't shoot, I can't drive, I can't dance, and I can't listen to opera. But I also have strengths."
Du Wei looked at her curiously. He had never met this woman before, and he really didn't know what her strengths were.
"Your older sister is beautiful, and you..."
Just like you, before I could finish saying those four words, I heard a burst of laughter from the side.
The man sitting there had his head down, his expression unreadable. The guard behind him was covering his mouth and snickering. Xu Keke glared at him. Turning her head, she saw Du Wei looking away in annoyance, his little ears turning bright red.
Oh no, this kid is so proud. Xu Keke belatedly realized that she had embarrassed the little guy again.
