She appears gentle and elegant, generous and open-minded, considerate and polite, and she puts herself in your shoes and considers you like a close friend.
But in fact, Yu Chaoyun was like a poisonous snake, lurking in the dark corners, and would bite someone hard as soon as he got the chance.
Facing Gu Yanfei's cold eyes, Yu Chaoyun kept smiling, maintaining an elegant demeanor appropriately, and continued: "The girl's piano music is magnificent and vigorous, with a unique artistic conception of vastness and loftiness. It makes people feel open-minded after listening to it, which makes me sigh that I am not as good as her."
"Today, we are competing in the piano, and we are also making friends through the piano. The girl and I hit it off right away."
Yu Chaoyun spoke sincerely, attracting more admiring glances.
Gu Yanfei looked at the other person with a smile.
At this moment, the other party's words and actions felt right. This was the Yu Chaoyun I knew in my previous life.
After all, the essence of human beings will never change.
Yu Chaoyun praised Gu Yanfei's piano playing a few more times and spoke a lot like she was performing a monologue, but Gu Yanfei ignored her.
Wei Jiaoniang and the others also ignored her and gathered together to whisper: "Lu Qin, let's go out and play. It's too boring here."
"It's snowing so heavily. It's so nice to feed the fish and enjoy the snow here. My dear, let me pour you another glass of wine. This is the imperial wine. When you go back, your grandfather will surely envy you..."
“…”
They were sitting while Yu Chaoyun was standing alone. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier separating the two sides, making Yu Chaoyun seem out of place.
Yu Chaoyun could no longer speak. She pursed her lips, held the handkerchief and stood silently for a while.
The long silence made the atmosphere around them a little weird and awkward.
More and more people noticed that something was wrong, and they all fell silent, staring at Gu Yanfei and Yu Chaoyun.
In the silence, Yu Chaoyun sighed softly, his eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings. He asked softly, "Second Miss Gu, do you dislike me?"
The soft and gentle voice sounded like a sigh and a scold, with a soft ending.
There were ripples in her dark eyes, which, at first glance, showed a sense of pity and subservience, but upon closer inspection, the pupils beneath her black eyelashes were bottomless.
The cold wind outside the window blew up snowflakes that splashed onto the table, filling the room with coldness.
Wei Jiaoniang got goose bumps all over her body, while Miss Zeng, Miss Zhao and others on the other side all frowned, with a hint of depression and indignation in their eyes.
As expected! The corners of Gu Yanfei's lips curled up a little, and his eyes turned.
She still remembered the first time she met Yu Chaoyun in her previous life.
That was supposed to happen next month. Gu Yun'er hosted a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion and invited many young ladies from the capital to the mansion. Yu Chaoyun also came.
At that time, Gu Yanfei didn't know how to interact with the ladies in Beijing, so she hid in the pavilion alone to feed the fish. It was Yu Chaoyun who took the initiative to approach her and said, "Second Miss Gu, my shoes got wet accidentally just now. Can you sit here for a while?"
"I'm not disturbing you, am I?"
It had clearly been two hundred years, and she clearly once thought that she remembered nothing.
It was not until now that she realized that many things were simply buried deep in a corner of her memory.
It turned out that she had never really forgotten.
Yu Chaoyun was like this in his previous life. He was good at putting himself in a weak position and putting the opponent in a dilemma.
Whenever others took a step back, she would take a step forward and naturally take the lead.
Gu Yanfei also met people like Yu Chaoyun when she was in Yaoling Realm. At that time, a senior sister from the sect told her that if she didn’t like someone, she didn’t need to like him, because people in their Tianwen Sect would never be wronged.
"I really miss it." Gu Yanfei murmured softly.
She and Yu Chaoyun finally ended up on the same path as in their previous life.
Gu Yanfei curled the corners of her lips in a mocking tone. She was worried that her life was too different from her previous life and she would not be able to overcome her inner demons.
Miss? Yu Chaoyun was confused, and her slender fingers pinched her sleeves unconsciously.
Wei Jiaoniang unhappily put the wine glass in her hand heavily on the table, thinking: These girls from noble families are really "pretentious"! They always speak in a sarcastic tone.
Humph, isn’t it just being sarcastic? She can do that too!
Wei Jiaoniang was about to say something disgusting to Yu Chaoyun, when she saw Gu Yanfei nodding seriously at Yu Chaoyun:
"yes."
"I don't like you."
Gu Yanfei's voice was neither light nor heavy, as clear as water, and echoed clearly in the quiet and silent water pavilion.
The whole room was silent, and the atmosphere froze in an instant.
"..." Yu Chaoyun opened his eyes slightly, and the perfect smile on the corner of his lips froze on his face.
She had never expected Gu Yanfei to say this and was unable to react for a moment.
Shouldn’t Gu Yanfei say to himself: I don’t dislike you?
Shouldn't Gu Yanfei take the opportunity to ask him to sit down and praise his piano skills? ...
Yu Chaoyun suddenly understood.
Soon, she pinched her fingertips, trying to calm down, looked into Gu Yanfei's eyes and asked, "Why?"
Her voice was slightly deep and her body was tense.
Gu Yanfei looked at Yu Chaoyun steadily.
Her eyes were too clear, too calm, and too bright, like the brightest cold star in the night sky, which made Yu Chaoyun very uncomfortable.
It was as if her eyes could see everything about me inside and out. Nothing of my thoughts could escape her eyes, as if I was looking at a clown.
This feeling is really terrible.
Yu Chaoyun couldn't help but ask again: "Why?"
Gu Yanfei casually propped his chin with his fist, tilted his little face and glanced at Yu Chaoyun lazily, smiled leisurely, and uttered two words: "Guess?"
She curled the corner of her mouth slightly, as if to say, You ask, do I have to answer?
The water pavilion was silent again.
Gu Yanfei played completely out of the ordinary, leaving Yu Chaoyun speechless twice in a row.
At this moment, Yu Chaoyun could no longer conceal her loss of composure, and the corners of her lips were as tight as iron.
None of the girls she knew before were like Gu Yanfei! Miss Zeng and others not far away watched this scene with frowns on their faces.
Gu Yanfei was not targeting Yu Chaoyun alone. Her words "I don't like you" were clearly meant for all the girls from aristocratic families to hear.
Could it be that Gu Yanfei regarded them all as strong competitors and declared to them that she was determined to get the position of the eldest prince's consort? ! The girls from the noble families couldn't help but imagine and looked at each other.
“Puha!”
Wei Jiaoniang's clear and lively laughter broke the awkward silence.
Miss Zeng's face darkened and she thought to herself: These peasants are simply unreasonable.
Although Yu Chaoyun was defeated, he was generous and took the initiative to show goodwill to Gu Yanfei and spoke appropriately. However, Gu Yanfei not only did not appreciate it, but was also very disrespectful.
How outrageous!
