Chapter 653: Long Legs
As soon as Liu Lan opened the door, she saw the handsome face she was most familiar with. Yu Zhan looked at her with his clear and elegant eyes, with his usual gentle smile on the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of tenderness that was only for her.
"Sorry, we're a little late."
Song Junzhe had his back to Liu Lan, studying the two big red lanterns hanging at the gate of their yard. It was already dark, and the lanterns were lit, casting red shadows all over the ground. What Song Junzhe found most interesting was that there was a huge lit brazier in the middle of the yard. The crackling sound of the burning charcoal contrasted with the big red lanterns outside the door. Even after they got out of the car and stood outside, they were still warm and did not feel cold at all.
"You guys have created a really festive atmosphere for the New Year, and it also has a retro feel," Song Junzhe was very interested in the fire basin. "Some people in our area use this when they get married - jumping over the fire basin!" Song Junzhe said this in Cantonese. "But burning this on New Year's Eve still has a lot of meaning. Using fire to burn away all the bad luck will make business more prosperous next year!"
Liu Lan laughed. Song Junzhe was indeed a little superstitious. "I'm not as superstitious as you think. We have a patient here whose legs cannot be frozen. I thought she would be warmer when she comes out to get some fresh air during the day. What if she wants to come out to see the stars and the moon at night? So I asked the manufacturer to make this brazier specifically for her."
However, Liu Lan designed this oversized brazier based on the rectangular, angular brazier style she used when she was in the cold palace, so Song Junzhe thought it was retro.
The funniest thing is that when Song Junzhe entered the yard and passed by the brazier, he actually stepped over it and muttered something like a prayer in Cantonese. Fortunately, he was tall and had long legs, otherwise he would have stepped into the charcoal fire.
Seeing Liu Lan's astonishment, Song Junzhe explained to her, "Since I stepped over the fire basin, I don't have to go to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. In previous years, I went to the temple with my mother to burn the first stick of incense, but this year is an exception. I want to try to see if this method works."
Without even thinking, Liu Lan said, "It's definitely not effective. When I ordered it, I didn't even think of adding a blessing function."
...
...
Both men burst into laughter. Yu Zhan touched her head with one hand and said, "Silly girl, Azhe was just teasing you."
Liu Lan just realized that she had been fooled by Song Junzhe. This guy's words were even more nonsensical and slick than He Lushen's. It was impossible to tell which of his words were true!
The young ladies already knew in advance that Yu Zhan would bring a friend from Hong Kong, and when they met Song Junzhe for the first time, they all felt their eyes brightened.
Song Junzhe's mother was once called "the most beautiful daughter of a wealthy family" by the Hong Kong media. Most sons look like their mothers, so Song Junzhe's appearance is needless to say.
In college, Song Junzhe was just like He Lushen, with lawless arrogance and pride. They studied in the UK together and traveled around the world together. They visited all the famous money-burning destinations abroad, such as beaches, red-light districts, and casinos.
However, men cannot live so heartlessly. They do not have Ji Qingqing's "blessing". After completing their studies, they still have to shoulder the responsibilities as heirs of the family.
They began to move towards maturity slowly. He Lushen learned how to "smile but hide a dagger" and Song Junzhe learned how "harmony brings wealth".
Influenced by the surrounding environment, Song Junzhe prefers to wear suits. Occasionally, one can see photos of him in media reports wearing a branded suit, a white shirt, a slightly fancy tie, and a smile on his face. He cunningly hides his businessman's materialism and looks more like a carefree young man from a wealthy family.
He also came today wearing a suit and a long grey coat, which looked very stylish. As soon as he entered the door, he and Yu Zhan took off their coats and hung them on the coat rack.
Therefore, a pair of long legs wrapped in luxury brand trousers especially attracted the attention of girls. Men like to see women's long legs, and so do women! Yu Zhan also has a pair of long legs, but he is already in a relationship, so naturally their eyes will not wander around.
All the ladies present are single, so it's okay to take a look at the benefits and feast your eyes. Facing different looks, Song Junzhe didn't mind at all, and looked like he was letting you pick her and I was happy.
Yu Zhan was surprised to see Tao Zhiwei here. Liu Man briefly explained to him, "He probably came a few minutes earlier than you."
Song Junzhe also noticed the only man sitting there. He didn't have much impression of Tao Zhiwei. When he was a child, he didn't cling to Tao Zhiwei as much as Yu Zhan and He Lushen did. He didn't like playing with older kids. Moreover, his parents divorced when he was ten years old, and he left the capital with his mother. His memory of Tao Zhiwei only stayed before he was ten years old, and he had basically forgotten everything.
