After Xiao Muyu arrived in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoli invited several groomsmen and bridesmaids to have dinner at the manor.
"We'll take the photos tomorrow since there will be fewer people. Let's get to know each other better today."
That's what they say, but actually they're already very familiar with everyone else except Zong Jiayu's three roommates.
There were originally only 12 of them for dinner today, but Bai Zhi arranged a long table for them.
As a result, Jiang Chengle insisted on coming over to join in the fun, so they had to temporarily move Xiao Muyu and Xie Wenchuan to the very edge of the room, letting him sit on the side.
Jiang Xiaoli looked at the puppy on the other side of the table, grinning like a fool, and said with amusement, "Ayu, look at Le Ge's appearance, it's unbearable to watch!"
Zhong Yuan spoke first, "Little Pear, tonight's dinner was truly wonderful!"
Hu Jingxin didn't quite understand, but Chang Yue, who was next to her, laughed heartily, "Brother Yuan, you understand the art of language! From now on, I'll be the first to disagree if anyone says you're uncultured!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to exchange a glance with Jiang Xiaoli.
Hu Jingxin asked groggily, "Xiao Li, what kind of riddles are you and Xiao Yue playing?"
She shrugged. "I'll have Yuan explain it to you properly later."
Ren Zhiyi overheard their conversation, then looked at Su Jianshu, who was blushing across from her, and understood everything.
She chuckled helplessly as she listened to Yan Chengcheng and Lu Ze bickering beside her.
Yan Chengcheng frowned. "Do your parents know you're here as a groomsman? Aren't you afraid it will affect your image as a good student in their eyes?"
Lu Ze calmly replied, "I've never deliberately tried to cultivate the image of a good student; I just have higher expectations of myself. As for you... I heard you applied to graduate early? With your level, you really should be more self-disciplined."
"What do you mean by 'with my level'?" Yan Chengcheng was instantly ignited like a firecracker. "Hey, you surnamed Lu, explain yourself clearly!"
“I think I’ve made myself very clear,” Lu Ze replied.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Zong Jiayu quickly raised his glass and said, "Xiao Lizi and I thank everyone for coming all the way to Birmingham for our wedding."
Everyone raised their glasses in unison. Yan Chengcheng glared fiercely at Lu Ze, then instantly changed her expression and started chatting and laughing with everyone.
After dinner, everyone gathered together to chat. Ren Zhiyi pulled Jiang Xiaoli aside and asked, "What's going on? You're not trying to set me up with someone, are you?"
"No, no!" she quickly denied. "Hehe, I just thought it was fun!"
Ren Zhiyi sighed helplessly, "Fun? Didn't you see Chengcheng and Lu Ze almost fighting just now?"
"Tsk!" She thought for a moment and said, "Nobody expected them to know each other. It's a legacy issue. I reckon these two will fight whenever they get together."
Chang Yue leaned closer and whispered, "I don't think there's much to say about Chengcheng, but Lu Ze is acting a bit strange! He's so quiet when he's with Zong Jia and the others, but he's willing to argue and bicker with Chengcheng. Don't you think that's odd?"
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's just watch the show. It's normal for Lu Ze to like Chengcheng because she's such a good person. We should respect Chengcheng's own opinion, right?"
Ren Zhiyi nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Don't introduce me to any boyfriends, I don't want to date!"
Their eyes both fixed on her at the same time.
Chang Yue asked curiously, "Zhiyi, what kind of person do you like? I've never heard you mention it before."
Ren Zhiyi shrugged. "I have someone I like."
"What?!"
Jiang Xiaoli and her friend's exclamations attracted Yan Chengcheng and the other two to come over.
Hu Jingxin was the most excited, "Zhiyi! You've kept this a secret! Tell me quickly, who do you like? Is it someone we know?"
“You don’t know each other,” Ren Zhiyi said with a slight smile. “It’s just that I have a crush on you. We can’t be together.”
The pure love warrior Xiao Muyu didn't understand, "Zhiyi, even though Ale and I are so far apart, we can still be together. Do you have any concerns?"
She chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I like a playboy who changes girlfriends every day. I don't think I have the ability to make someone change their ways for me, so it's impossible for us."
Jiang Xiaoli was confused. "No, what do you like about him? How fast he changes girlfriends?"
"Haha." Ren Zhiyi chuckled. "Of course not. Maybe what I like is just the feeling I have when I like him."
Chang Yue was confused. "Zhiyi, are you reciting tongue twisters here?"
"I get it!" Relationship expert Master Yan is online. "Zhiyi doesn't necessarily like this womanizer. She just feels happy when she likes him. She likes that feeling of happiness, not necessarily that he's the only one for her!"
"Clap clap clap!" Hu Jingxin gave a warm round of applause. "Master Yan is truly amazing! He's awesome!"
Yan Chengcheng chuckled, "I can cure Zhiyi's illness!"
Hu Jingxin urged, "Chengcheng, tell us quickly."
Yan Chengcheng said with a smile, "Just try it out with Big Radish."
"It's impossible for us!" Ren Zhiyi quickly waved her hand.
"Zhiyi! Why do you always think so far ahead? Who can guarantee that couples will stay together forever? The feeling in the present is the most important. If you don't try being with Da Luobo, you'll never know if you like him or just like that feeling you're talking about."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but look at Yan Chengcheng with new respect, "Master Yan, I only realized today that you really have some talent!"
Yan Chengcheng proudly puffed out her chest, "That's right!"
Ren Zhiyi thought about it seriously for a moment, "That's true. We're always thinking about whether we can do something for a long time. We're still so young, what's most important is what we have in the present."
She declared loudly, "I've decided to go back to China and make my stance clear to him!"
Chang Yue was a little worried, "What if he doesn't accept it?"
"Impossible!" Jiang Xiaoli and Hu Jingxin exclaimed in unison.
Xiao Muyu also laughed and said, "How could a playboy like you refuse Zhiyi?"
Ren Zhiyi hugged Chang Yue and said with a smile, "It's nothing. If he rejects me, then goodbye. If we can't be together, then goodbye. I don't need him as a friend."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Master Yan, you must give Zhiyi some advice and guidance later."
Yan Chengcheng snapped her fingers, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help!"
The girls were chatting so happily together, while the boys next to them were incredibly bored.
Jiang Chengle, in particular, practically transformed into a statue waiting for his wife.
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't bear to look. "Xiaoyu, you should take Brother Le away right away. His eyes are terrifying!"
Xiao Muyu rubbed her forehead. "Alright then, you guys chat, I'm going out for a walk with Ah Le."
