Chen Siyuan and Tao Yifan sat in the pavilion, attracting a crowd of onlookers. Some admired Tao Yifan, while others were drawn to Chen Siyuan. Gradually, the pavilion grew larger and larger.
Chen Xin, who had just been mocked, was brought over again.
Tao Yifan was too important to her, so she had to shamelessly come.
"Sister, you've come at the right time. We were just composing poems."
Chen Siyuan remained silent while drinking tea.
Chen Xin just stood there, frozen.
People who initially disliked Chen Xin started to smirk.
They eagerly delivered it over; wasn't the embarrassment just now enough?
Some people, however, felt that Chen Siyuan's ability to so easily mock Chen Xin was not as the rumors suggested.
Undistracted by the stares of the crowd, Tao Yifan offered to refill Chen Siyuan's tea after she finished hers.
Chen Siyuan looked at Tao Yifan, wondering what he meant.
Without even looking, she could feel the gasps of breath around her.
Tao Yifan is the focus of attention today. How can such an ethereal man do such mundane things? Doesn't he worry about being criticized for being so insignificant?
"Siyuan, you must be tired too, have some more to drink."
Chen Siyuan forced a smile and picked up the teacup, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Tao." Damn it, does this person want to make her the enemy of everyone?
Chen Xin didn't want to see anyone dominate, so he leaned closer again and said, "Sister, these are the poems we just recited. Sister, take a look and tell me which one is the best."
Tao Yifan calmly looked at Chen Siyuan. On the way here, she said that a small incident had happened and she wanted to change herself.
Seeing the woman's calm demeanor, could she really be a poet?
Deep down, she had a small expectation for Chen Siyuan, but she absolutely loathed Chen Xin standing next to her.
They even deliberately wore the same clothes, which was really annoying.
Chen Siyuan put down her teacup, knowing that someone would seize the opportunity to rise above others by stepping on them.
Unfortunately, some people are destined to be disappointed today.
“Every song was made with care, so naturally they are excellent.”
"Then... what does Sister mean?" She clearly doesn't understand anything, but she's pretending to know. Let's see how she tears through her disguise.
What good is standing next to Young Master Tao? He's a good-for-nothing, not worthy at all.
"Since you're here, I'll also compose a poem and ask for your comments."
"Sister can even write poetry?" Chen Xin couldn't stay calm. He glanced at Tao Yifan beside him, wondering if Tao Yifan had secretly helped him.
Chen Siyuan didn't say anything, but looked at the lotus flowers in the lake. Just now, in order to humiliate Chen Xin, the lotus flowers were implicated, and she should stand up for them.
"The wind ripples the surface of the pond."
Leaves fall in abundance amidst the dew on the waves.
Who spreads a green canopy on the water?
She donned her red makeup and sang of lotus picking.
As the poem ended, everyone present fell silent.
Wasn't Chen Siyuan supposed to be a good-for-nothing? How come she can write poetry?
What's even more incredible is that, after listening to it, this poem is the best.
Tao Yifan was surprised that Chen Siyuan, besides being fierce, also had such talent. Looking at the woman in front of him, he murmured, "The wind blows across the pond, rippling the water, and dew falls on the leaves. Who spreads a green canopy on the water? Covering the red-clad woman singing about picking lotus flowers."
After a long while, he savored the poem and spoke again, "What a beautiful poem!"
"It's just so-so!" Chen Siyuan said arrogantly.
What was originally a serious atmosphere turned into laughter because of Chen Siyuan's expression.
"You!" Tao Yifan said helplessly.
These two words contain so much profound meaning.
The way Tao Yifan looked at Chen Siyuan made even Chen Siyuan, the person involved, tremble slightly.
What happened?
Is this guy addicted to acting?
She knew that in order to survive in the capital, everyone had to wear a mask of pretense at all times.
This is the southern part of the city, and the Tao family has deep roots here. Anyone who wants to get close to the Tao family has to put on a fawning face. What's wrong with him? He's always been aloof and arrogant. How did he suddenly become like this?
My heart trembled slightly.
I always felt that there were many hidden dangers waiting for me behind Tao Yifan's actions.
He's still reeling from the dangerous experience he had today. If he had to go through something like that again, his heart simply couldn't take it.
"Hehe—" Her stiff expression directly revealed her truest thoughts at that moment.
Tao Yifan glanced at it once, then looked at the attendant beside him.
The attendant soon arrived with a play script.
With just a few words, Tao Yifan finalized the opera to be performed that evening.
Because of his status, no one dared to say anything; some even felt it was an unparalleled honor to be chosen by Tao Yifan.
Watching from the side, Chen Siyuan once again clearly felt the benefits that power brings.
Looking, looking, I saw Chen Xin next to me again, who still hasn't recovered.
She was so frightened by a poem; that's really unacceptable.
Their real show is yet to come; they don't intend to let this person off the hook today.
Thinking it over, she glanced around but didn't see any movement from Chen Fan. She was quite certain that Chen Fan was hiding somewhere, quietly observing everything.
Now that such a big commotion has occurred, why hasn't anyone appeared?
Has Chen Fan's ability reached this level now?
Lost in thought, she didn't notice that people around her were composing poems one after another, and the number of people who had originally paid attention to Tao Yifan and Chen Siyuan gradually decreased.
Normally, if men and women meet and chat in public, it would be considered taboo. But in this place, there are not so many rules. Soon, a group of men and women gathered together and began to compose poems in front of the lotus flowers.
