Chapter 86 Pei Adan
After admiring the scenery for a while, everyone returned to their rooms and sat down to drink. Suddenly, Lei Yu, who had been silent all along, asked, "What are your plans for tonight?"
Everyone was taken aback. Pei Xingyuan said, "You've been drinking and aren't going home to sleep. What else do you want to do?"
Lei Yu said, "It's rare for Feng Chen to be back today, so why don't we go night hunting as usual?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi looked at Lei Yu with some surprise.
Night hunting, or hunting at night, was a game enjoyed not only by noble sons but also by the military as a training method for soldiers. Night hunting required more eyesight and archery skills than usual, making it a very difficult hunting method.
Unexpectedly, Lei Yu would bring this up on his own initiative.
Hearing her say that, everyone became somewhat eager to try it out.
Since Yuwen Ye left the Eastern Capital with the Duke of Sheng, they had lost interest in night hunting and hadn't gone hunting together for a long time.
Then someone asked, "Brother Fengchen, what do you think?"
Shang Ruyi immediately turned to look at Yuwen Ye, only to see that his eyes were gleaming, and he seemed genuinely interested.
Shang Ruyi panicked a little.
With her limited skills, she could barely hit the target with an arrow in the military camp. If she were to go night hunting, she would probably be snatched up by the prey before she could even fire a few arrows.
Looking back at Lei Yu, he saw her raising her eyebrows slightly, staring coldly at him.
She did it on purpose!
The thought of her being so hostile towards her made Shang Ruyi feel a surge of resentment. Without waiting for Yuwen Ye's reply, she turned to him and said softly, "Second Brother, we've just returned to Luoyang, and we still have a lot to do."
She spoke casually, but when she looked at Yuwen Ye, her eyes flickered with a clear earnestness.
No matter what, she shouldn't go night-hunting with them tonight; it would be too embarrassing.
Don't let them leave you behind!
Otherwise, how will she stand in front of Yuwen Ye's friends, especially Lei Yu?
Seeing her almost pleading eyes, Yuwen Ye seemed to understand something. He thought for a moment, then turned to the crowd and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. Ruyi is right. We've just returned to Dongdu and have a lot of things to take care of. Let's talk about it when we have some free time."
Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but they didn't insist and all nodded in agreement.
Only Lei Yu couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, and she glared fiercely at Shang Ruyi.
Just as Shang Ruyi guiltily looked away, Pei Xingyuan, who was standing next to her, seemed to notice Lei Yu's disappointment and teased her with a smile: "Miss Lei, you can hunt every day, there's no need to rush today. Your skills won't disappear after today."
Lei Yu was already in a bad mood, and his teasing made her raise her eyebrows.
"Pei Adan, even if I lose all my skills, dealing with you is still just a matter of a single finger!"
What she said next was nothing, but as soon as he heard her call him "Pei Adan," Pei Xingyuan immediately jumped up: "Why are you calling me that again!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Shang Ruyi was bewildered, only seeing Pei Xingyuan's furious appearance, not knowing what to do, when someone next to her told her: "Xingyuan's nickname is Adan. From childhood to adulthood, he hates people calling him by this nickname the most. Every time he offends Miss Lei, Miss Lei will have people bang gongs and drums and call his nickname in the street."
