Song Qingyou stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or back out.
This large group of people suddenly greeting her caught her off guard, and most of them were actually unfamiliar faces.
Are there quite a few people from Linzhou?
Fu Wenzhou put his arm around Song Qingyou's waist and waved to the crowd: "My Qingyou is shy around strangers, so please don't be so enthusiastic."
"What's the big deal? You'll get to know each other better as you get to know each other." A short-haired man sat on the sofa to the right, leaning back casually. He was handsome. "Don't you think that makes sense, sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law, he won't even let us order drinks. Isn't that going too far?" someone joked with a laugh.
Song Qingyou smiled and nodded to everyone in greeting: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Just have fun and don't worry about me."
"Sister-in-law is the best!" the short-haired boy introduced himself. "My name is Tang Sili, you can just call me Sili."
The others gave their names one by one. Song Qingyou had a good memory, and after going around to more than twenty people, she remembered each and every one of their names accurately.
As far as the eye could see, there was only one person who remained silent throughout.
The girl sat in the very center, arms crossed, with delicate and beautiful features, like a porcelain doll.
Two people were peeling lychees and melon seeds for her.
She was like a little princess surrounded by admirers.
Song Qingyou guessed that the girl was probably Tang Hanyan.
She wondered whether she should go up and say hello, since the other person's eyes had been on her ever since she came in...
Just as I was about to speak, the other person spoke first.
"Would you like to sit here with me?"
Song Qingyou was taken aback. This Tang Hanyan seemed unapproachable, yet she took the initiative to invite her over to sit down?
Song Qingyou wasn't one to be coy. Tang Hanyan was Gu Bai's honored guest tonight, so she naturally wouldn't refuse her. Upon hearing this, she whispered to Fu Wenzhou, "You guys have fun, I'll go sit down."
Fu Wenzhou's friends were clamoring to play cards, and Gu Bai kept urging them on while holding the cards. He bent down slightly and said, "I heard that this woman surnamed Tang has a terrible temper. If she upsets you, just tell me."
Song Qingyou said with amusement, "I think she's quite cute."
Fu Wenzhou: "Tsk, I heard that she broke the legs of a servant in Linzhou before, so you'd better watch out."
Song Qingyou asked in surprise, "Is it that serious?"
"Hmm." Someone on the other end urged him on, and Fu Wenzhou laughed and cursed, "Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Song Qingyou gently pushed him: "Go play."
“Okay, we’ll play for a while and then go home,” Fu Wenzhou said.
Song Qingyou nodded and walked towards Tang Hanyan's location.
Tang Hanyan certainly has a big air about her. She even brought two maids with her to the bar party. If she wasn't mistaken, there was also a bodyguard behind her, making a total of three people.
As soon as Song Qingyou approached, the two people beside her automatically stood up and stepped back.
Tang Hanyan patted the empty seat next to her: "Sit here."
Several women opposite her whispered among themselves upon seeing this.
"Wasn't she so arrogant just now? Why is she being so polite to Song Qingyou?"
"Who knows? I just sat down next to her and her bodyguard kicked me out, saying that his young lady doesn't like people getting close." The man rolled his eyes and complained, "If it weren't for the fact that she's from the Tang family, I really wouldn't have been able to stand it."
Someone whispered to her, "Forget it, Zhizhi, we can't afford to offend the Tang family."
In contrast, Tang Hanyan herself seemed completely oblivious to these discussions.
Song Qingyou sat down next to her, her smile polite but distant: "Thank you."
Tang Hanyan stared at her, and a smile appeared on her delicate face: "Hello, my name is Tang Hanyan. I know you. You are Song Qingyou, right?"
Song Qingyou nodded: "Mm."
Tang Hanyan enthusiastically pushed the lychee in front of her towards Song Qingyou: "Do you want some?"
Song Qingyou really likes lychees, but she's too embarrassed to accept them if someone else has peeled them for her, so she shakes her head and refuses: "I can peel them myself."
Tang Hanyan's pupils were very light, a brownish color, which made her look even more like a porcelain doll. Her voice was also soft and delicate: "No need to be polite, I won't eat anymore."
Unable to refuse such kindness, Song Qingyou thanked her and picked up a fruit, putting it to her lips.
After eating two, Song Qingyou sighed, turned to look at Tang Hanyan, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Miss Tang, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"
"You're beautiful," Tang Hanyan said directly.
Song Qingyou was stunned; she had never met someone who spoke so frankly.
She felt a little embarrassed by his gaze: "Thank you, you look good too."
Tang Hanyan belatedly asked, "Don't you like it when people look at you?"
Song Qingyou: "No, not really..."
Tang Hanyan smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Can I stay at your place tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Song Qing almost choked on the lychee, coughing several times, which attracted Fu Wenzhou's attention.
Song Qingyou waved to him, saying she was fine and told him to continue playing.
Fu Wenzhou placed the peeled lychees on the table and instructed, "Eat slowly."
After saying that, he glanced to the side and suddenly noticed a plate of lychees in front of her. He frowned and asked, "Who peeled these for you?"
"Me," Tang Hanyan said without even looking at Fu Wenzhou, "my maid."
Fu Wenzhou raised an eyebrow, not even looking at Tang Hanyan: "You're only allowed to eat what I peel for you."
Tang Hanyan immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Why should I? Who do you think you are?"
Fu Wenzhou: "?"
Song Qingyou: "..."
