The men who were smoking were considered well-known figures in the capital. Apart from their family members, no one dared to ask them to put out their cigarettes at dinner parties outside.
But after hearing Yong Zhixu's words, the speed at which they eliminated the smoke became faster than the other.
"Excuse me, San Ge." They hurriedly called the waiter, "Open the windows and exhaust fans."
The smell of smoke in the air began to subside, Yong Zhixu said "It's okay", and everyone continued to eat, and the atmosphere remained harmonious.
Tang Xili didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and didn't even have a trace of doubt.
Just hearing that the man had a cold and his throat was uncomfortable, her eyes fixed, and after a moment's hesitation, she lowered her voice, "Mr. Yong, wine is a spicy thing, drink less."
Yong Zhixu, who was holding a glass of wine to have a drink with Yunchuan, stopped when he heard her voice.
A glint of surprise flashed in the amber eyes.
Did she...realize that he said that because of her?
Or is it a natural concern?
The man was a little unsure, but he hoped it was the latter.
A trace of joy rose in his heart, and he turned to look at her. The corners of her eyebrows and eyes were as bright as the early spring forest, and her gentleness was addictive.
"Okay." Yong Zhixu put down his wine glass without hesitation, and said softly, "Then I won't drink."
He tilted his head to apologize to Yunchuan, "Wine is spicy and not good for your throat. Please forgive me."
How could Yunchuan argue with him about this gift? He readily poured him a cup of tea and said, "Then let's use tea instead of wine. It's the same."
The other people in the private room didn't seem to be looking at this side, but they were actually paying attention secretly.
Who wouldn't be curious when a beautiful woman who hasn't been close to a woman for eight hundred years suddenly speaks softly to a woman?
Oh no, I just obeyed your orders. I am so obedient.
What made them feel even more incredible was that this Miss Tangxi didn't seem to be very familiar with the third brother.
A very obvious single arrow.
Is there anyone who can resist the charm of the third brother?
Gentle, humble, easy-going, talented and capable, with a first-class family background and appearance.
More importantly, he keeps himself clean.
No one dislikes the Third Brother.
I wonder if Miss Tangxi has quit drugs?
Zhou Zhou was equally shocked, but not because Yong Zhixu was so obedient, but because her daughter Ah Li actually took the initiative to care about others!!!
When she was a freshman, she broke her arm and had to wear a cast for nearly a month. Except for showing some concern for her on the first day, Ali acted as if she didn't see her and never asked about her arm again.
After asking Jane who was by her side, I found out that she had emotional indifference. She was very cold towards people and things, had no sense of responsibility, did not care about others, had no sympathy, and even refused to be moved.
I started receiving psychotherapy at the age of 17, but it had little effect.
Originally, when the third brother said he wanted to pursue Ali, she was not very optimistic, but now it seems that there may be a glimmer of hope.
Very good.
Zhou Zhou felt a lump in her throat and her eyes were wet. A-Li wanted her to be happy, and she also wanted A-Li to be happy.
She decided to be a real assist!
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal very much, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when it ended.
Of the ten men, except Yong Zhixu who didn't drink much, the rest all lay down.
The female companion they brought was also drunk, but still conscious. She and the waiter helped the man to the suite to rest.
Chunshan Court is very large, built against the mountain, with a hot spring center on the back mountain, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters. It is not only a hotel, but also a resort for entertainment and leisure.
After everyone in the private room had been sent away, Zhou Zhou staggered over to Tang Xili and took her arm, "Come on, I'll take you on a tour."
The strong smell of alcohol hit her face, and she couldn't speak clearly. Tang Xili patted her arm and said, "I can go see it myself. You go and rest."
Zhou Zhou shook his head, with the stubbornness of a drunk, "How can that be? I promised to accompany you, I have to go... Ugh..."
As she spoke, she began to dry heave and looked like she was about to vomit the alcohol.
Tang Xili quickly called the waiter, "Take her to rest."
"No, I want to accompany you... Eh? Third brother?" Zhou Zhou was being pulled by the waiter. When he passed by Yong Zhixu in the corridor, he seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea. "Yes, Ah Li, let Third Brother show you around. Third Brother is knowledgeable and knows the most about these ancient cultures..."
"Third brother, please help me accompany Ali to go shopping..." Zhou Zhou said incoherently, and winked at Yong Zhixu in a corner where Tang Xili couldn't see.
Yong Zhixu was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter and said softly, "Thank you."
"Come on." Zhou Zhou mouthed the words silently, then staggered away with the waiter.
Tang Xili stood in the long corridor with an indifferent expression. Seeing Zhou Zhou entrusting her to Yong Zhixu, she felt helpless and said, "Mr. Yong, she's drunk and unconscious. I can just wander around by myself."
"Miss Tangxi..." Yong Zhixu took a step forward, walked up the stairs, and came to her side slowly.
His voice was low and pleasant, with a lingering aftertaste. The four words "Miss Tangxi" sounded particularly affectionate and beautiful when they came out of his mouth.
Tang Xili's ears felt numb after listening to this, and she became more and more certain that she was sick. Not only was her heartbeat always unbalanced, but her ears were also often numb.
This further strengthened her determination to go to the hospital for treatment.
Yong Zhixu saw that she was lost in thought, but he didn't interrupt her until she came back to her senses. He then spoke, "Ms. Tangxi, do you know what the most common gardening techniques were in ancient Chinese gardens?"
Tang Xili, who had come back to her senses, forgot that she was still declining and asked casually, "What?"
Yong Zhixu pointed to the circular windows on the corridor wall and said to her, "It's a framed view, one of the most representative compositional techniques in ancient gardens."
"Framed scenery?" Tang Xili left the country at a young age and received a Western education. Although she had a certain understanding of Chinese culture after growing up, she really didn't know what the framed scenery he was talking about was.
“What is a frame?”
Yong Zhixu made a "please" gesture with an elegant and graceful manner, "Miss Tangxi, please step back and look again."
Tang Xili retreated to the railing connecting to the courtyard, followed his white finger and looked towards the empty window, and saw several green bamboos outside the window.
The breeze is blowing gently, light and shadow are intertwined, and the flexible and light bamboo is swaying in the wind, graceful and slender, which instantly creates a beautiful artistic conception.
The man lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Use door frames, window frames, hole frames, and tree frames as spaces to frame the scenery. This landscaping method of embedding a picture in a frame is called framing."
"The ancients said: 'Thick green locks the window, the idle courtyard is quiet, open the window and the best way is to borrow the scenery.' This is what it means. By borrowing scenery and creating scenery, we can construct an infinite landscape space in a limited space."
