The sound reached everyone's ears, even Fu Ziyi at the bow of the ship faintly heard some shouts. He looked suspiciously toward the place where they were. He was standing on high ground and could clearly see the scene over there. The image of Nangong Yu shouting at the top of his lungs was immediately imprinted in his mind and was truly unforgettable.
After Nangong Yu finished speaking, she looked around at the people and found that they were all looking at her with strange eyes. Nangong Yu was not shy or embarrassed. Instead, she grabbed Shi Mu's arm and said matter-of-factly, "What are you standing there for? Don't you want to stay with everyone? What's wrong with life now?"
Shi Mu thought for a moment and forced a smile, saying, "Of course I enjoy being with everyone, but I feel embarrassed to say it out loud."
Nangong Yu put his arm around Shi Mu's shoulder and said earnestly, "I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of in expressing your feelings and love. Love is a silent thing. If you don't say it, maybe no one will feel it. So, thinking about it this way, isn't it more worthwhile to say it?"
Shi Mu was convinced by his statement and nodded blankly. Nangong Yu was not satisfied with Shi Mu's approval alone, so he turned to look at the others and asked, "Don't you think so?"
This time, Baili Xiuwen didn't remain silent and nodded in agreement, "That's true."
"Senior brother is right."
"That makes some sense."
"As long as you're happy."
...
Everyone here is not good with words, but at times like this, they will respond to every word, so that he won't be left to awkwardly perform his own monologue.
Nangong Yu received a response from everyone, and happily turned her head to continue looking at the dark sky. There were no fireworks in the sky at this time, but in the dark environment, one could see the twinkling stars on the ground, as if one could feel the liveliness coming from the people on the ground.
The group returned to the inner room. Linghu Zhou and Xu Yuehuai were still feeling unwell after being outside for so long, but fortunately, with Qi Guze's help, Xu Yuehuai's condition wasn't too serious.
After spending some time at the bow of the boat to calm himself down, Fu Ziyi returned to the group. As soon as he got back, he bumped into Nangong Yu. Thinking about how he had just thrown his things at him, Fu Ziyi felt that there was probably nothing to say between the two of them.
It wasn't that he didn't want to apologize for what he had done, but rather that he wasn't sure when his emotions would flare up. When those emotions finally came, this apology would seem so ridiculous, and so would the promise. Rather than letting others see him as a two-faced person, he'd rather just be the bad guy.
Fu Ziyi thought to himself and lifted his foot to walk past him, but Nangong Yu clicked his tongue twice and stopped him. "I'm saying you're not going to apologize to me for doing something like this? I know that's just how you are, and you'll probably do it again next time, but at least apologize to me first this time, and then this matter will be over. I can be magnanimous and not hold it against you. How about that? I'm pretty good, right?"
Nangong Yu held his head high with a triumphant air, like a victor.
Fu Ziyi glanced at him, puzzled by his request, but he knew he had indeed done something wrong. Since that was the case, he could easily apologize. "I'm sorry."
Fu Ziyi didn't often say such things, and was even a little embarrassed. After saying it, she left in a hurry, not expecting any feedback from Nangong Yu. But the man behind her said anxiously, "It's okay, I don't mind."
Neither of them said what would happen in the future. Perhaps when they met again, Fu Ziyi would have reverted to his old ways, and Nangong Yu would still be very irritated by him. But none of this would affect their current behavior and decisions.
For a moment, the surrounding air was filled with sweet bubbles, or so Nangong Yu thought.
...
Qi Guze stared blankly at the healed jade pendant in his hand. The little girl outside the door slowly approached. Seeing him lost in thought, she was secretly delighted. She cautiously approached him and saw that he was looking at an ordinary jade pendant with no special decorations and even the materials used were very common. She took the opportunity to take it from Qi Guze's hand and examined it for a while.
Before she could even warm it up, Qi Guze snatched it back. The little girl looked at Qi Guze with some dissatisfaction, as if she had been greatly wronged. "I'm just looking at your jade pendant and you're so nervous. Who gave you this jade pendant? Brother Guze, have you forgotten what my father said? We are engaged. If this was given to you by another girl, I order you to throw it away right now! I don't like you wearing things given to you by others. If you like the jade pendant, I'll buy you a new one, okay?"
The girl is a bit willful. If they had a legitimate relationship, this willfulness would be perfectly acceptable, but they don't have that kind of relationship.
Qi Guze put away the jade pendant he had recovered, the coldness in his eyes still lingering. He looked at the little girl as if she were a dead person. "Who let you in? Don't you know how to knock? And who gave you the audacity to touch my things without permission!"
Qi Guze spoke in a very harsh tone. Even when the little girl was being willful in the past, he had never spoken to her like this.
Tears welled up instantly in her eyes as she lowered her head. "I'm your fiancée. Do I need to report to anyone if I want to come see you? I just wanted to surprise you. I saw you looking at this jade pendant with such unease, so I wanted to take a look to see what it was. Given our relationship, do I need your permission to even look at your jade pendant?"
Qi Guze's tone remained harsh, "Pingyi, I did not agree to what Elder Ping said, so I have no relationship with you. Do you understand? Don't try to use this relationship to talk to me in the future."
Pingyi is the name of the little girl in front of us. Her father is Elder Ping, who holds a high position and great power here. Most people are wary of Elder Ping and dare not act recklessly in front of him.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. The little girl looked at him with teary, doe-like eyes and shook her head. "How can you say that? This news has already been released, everyone knows. Now you're saying we have nothing to do with each other? What are you going to make people think of me? I've never cared about a man like this before!"
