☆、Forty-six、The Dinner Party (2346 words)
If Feng Zihao's house is a taste of the petit bourgeoisie, then Li Yaxi's house is like a prince's bedroom.
When they moved here, Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhao Yi were startled.
They kept subtly probing into how much wealth Li Yaxi actually had.
Li Yaxi hugged Feng Zihao's neck and smiled at Zhan Xiaoyu.
"This house would have cost the price of three four years ago. How much wealth do you think I have? That's what you call foresight. And you're studying business management? You should really switch majors!"
After touring the house, Zhan Xiaoyu hopped and skipped around, then dragged Zhao Yi along, clamoring that he wanted to move in.
Finally, he was forced out of the house by Feng Zihao's intense cold pressure.
Xiaoqi is pregnant and will give birth in about a month. Chen Chen was very happy when he found out.
I started looking for a place to move out of the school dormitory, since I rarely go back to school while doing my internship at the hospital anyway.
Li Yaxi is very clean, and it would be tiring for Feng Zihao to clean every day. They originally planned to hire a part-time cleaner, but later Qin Tian also prepared to find a job.
Li Yaxi simply let Qin Tian earn this extra money, and they felt more at ease with someone they knew.
Feng Zihao still had one class before school ended, while Li Yaxi had no classes and, feeling bored, decided to kill some time at the library.
As fate would have it, he ran into Zhou Yang.
At first glance, I didn't recognize her. She had lost a lot of weight and looked somewhat haggard, but her complexion was still relatively good.
Li Yaxi was selecting books on the bookshelf when Zhou Yang, whether by coincidence or on purpose, also started looking for books on the same shelf.
He snorted coldly with disdain when he saw Li Yaxi.
Li Yaxi squinted at him with a half-smile and said, "Tsk tsk, you see me and instead of hiding, you have the nerve to stand here. I really admire your thick skin."
Zhou Yang picked up a book, looked at Li Yaxi coldly, and said, "It's just a face. What's the difference between you and a male prostitute? What are you so smug about? Zihao is only attracted to you for a while; he'll dump you sooner or later."
After taking a couple of steps, he turned back to look at Li Yaxi and said, "If Zihao dumps you, you can come find me. I can introduce you to some rich people, so don't be shy." Then he turned and left.
Li Yaxi's smile vanished, and she watched Zhou Yang leave with icy eyes, as if he were her prey.
Li Yaxi was checking her stock quotes online when she unexpectedly received a call from Wang Liang. After a moment's thought, she accepted his invitation.
Li Yaxi took a shower and chose a simple shirt and slim-fitting dark jeans.
She wore a black watch, a jade bead on her other wrist, and a translucent green jade pendant hanging from a chain of thick black and white ropes around her neck.
Her overall demeanor is clean, elegant, and noble.
Feng Zihao, smelling the faint scent of perfume on Li Yaxi, asked in a low voice, "Where are you going? Do you need me to come with you?"
Li Yaxi smiled and pinched Feng Zihao's cheek. "No need, I'll be back soon. Don't wait for me, you go to sleep first."
After watching Li Yaxi change her shoes, he said, "Then, call me if you need anything."
Li Yaxi waved to him, "I know, I'm leaving."
Looking at the closed door, Feng Zihao sighed helplessly.
Standing at the intersection, Wang Liang saw a car approaching in the distance. He rolled down the window, saw Li Yaxi, and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Get in."
Li Yaxi got into the car and fastened her seatbelt before turning to look at Wang Liang, still sporting her flamboyant look. "Where are we going? I have class tomorrow, I can't stay out too late."
Wang Liang turned the steering wheel and drove towards their destination. "Let's go eat, then go to Heaven on Earth."
Li Yaxi raised an eyebrow. "A lot of people?"
Are you shy?
Li Yaxi stopped talking and looking at Wang Liang, quietly watching the scenery rushing past the car window.
Upon arriving at the private room, they found themselves surrounded by people. One of them, a man who wasn't very old but had a large belly, saw Wang Liang and chuckled, "You little rascal, you've got quite the entourage, making all of us wait for you. Oh, whose kid is this? So pretty!"
She looked at Li Yaxi with a smile.
Wang Liang pulled Li Yaxi down to sit. "You're such a chatterbox! Look at your belly, you should lose some weight! You're my junior from junior school, Li Yaxi."
Turning to Li Yaxi, Wang Liang introduced her to his brothers: Yan Kuan, Xu Bin, Xu Wen, Pei Kai, Lan Jianhao…
Following Wang Liang's introduction, Li Yaxi addressed each of them as "brother" before the meal began.
"H University? Looks quite young. These days, you can't underestimate young people."
Li Yaxi looked at the person who spoke. He had regular features and looked quite upright, but unfortunately, his shrewd eyes betrayed his intelligence.
Li Yaxi smiled at him and said, "Brother Kuan, what are you saying? When we little kids grow up, we still have to catch up with the older brothers."
As they were chatting and laughing, another handsome boy came in. He didn't look at anyone as soon as he entered and pushed aside the person next to Wang Liang to sit down.
The person who was pushed away didn't seem unhappy; they simply found another chair and moved over, so it seemed this wasn't the first time.
"Liangzi is really lucky with women, having two beauties serving him on either side," Xu Wen said with a smile, glancing at the boy and clearly not liking him much.
The boy slammed his chopsticks on the table and shouted, "What are you saying?!"
Wang Liang shouted with a hint of warning, "Tang Qing, how dare you talk to Brother Wen like that!"
Li Yaxi smiled lightly, her beauty instantly captivating. "Brother Wen, are you praising me or making fun of me? Someone like me is more suited to be Brother Wang Liang's little follower. Brother Wen, don't bully me just because I'm young. There are plenty of older brothers sitting here; you can't bully the younger ones."
Xu Wen clearly disliked Tang Qing, but since Tang Qing was his brother's man, he had to save face, so he went along with Li Yaxi's suggestion.
"Hehe, you've already called me 'brother,' how could I possibly bully you?"
"Since Brother Wen has acknowledged me as his brother, you must protect me from now on. I'm still young and can't hold my liquor well, so I'll just have one drink. I'll drink first, you can drink as you please." With that, he drank a small glass of Moutai.
"Okay, that's great! If your brother Liangzi ever bullies you again, just come find me, haha, pour me some wine."
The person next to Xu Wen poured him a glass, and Xu Wen downed it without saying a word to Li Yaxi.
Yan Kuan ate a few bites of food, looked at Li Yaxi, and said to Wang Liang, "This kid is quite interesting. Where did you meet her?"
"You're quite pretty. How old are you and what do you do?" Tang Qing glanced at Li Yaxi haughtily.
As soon as Tang Qing spoke, the lively atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward. Li Yaxi felt that either this person was brain-dead or extremely stupid.
“I’m almost 16 and still in school. I’m a classmate of Wang Liang, so he brought me out to have some fun and broaden my horizons.”
Xu Wen glanced at Tang Qing with disdain. "He's 16 and in college, a top student. You haven't even graduated high school yet, have you? Since he's also your brother Liangzi's friend, just ask him if you don't understand anything. Why waste money hiring a tutor?"
