"Feng You, Zi Qing and Zi Mo both said I shouldn't have acted that way back then. Do you also think I shouldn't have acted that way?" Gu Nanyan spoke slowly, seemingly asking the person behind him, or perhaps muttering to himself.
“I can’t do it. I can’t just watch him drift further and further away from me.”
“He is mine. From the day he was born, he was destined to be mine.”
“Master, you can simply not tell the Master,” Feng You suddenly said. “Or you can just make one up; the Master won’t know.”
Gu Nanyan turned her head and glanced at him. "You don't understand," she said, shaking her head slightly. She must be crazy to seek answers from Feng You.
In fact, for Gu Nanyan, as Feng You said, this was a very easy question to answer. Since Shen Bei'an didn't remember, he could just make one up. After all, in large families, it was common for heirs before they reached adulthood to be punished by the family.
But Gu Nanyan was unwilling to deceive Shen Bei'an.
Trust is the most important thing between husband and wife.
Since that day, their relationship has become very bland again. Gu Nanyan went out to work as usual, and when he came back, he would bring a bouquet of flowers as usual. Shen Bei'an also got into the habit of putting new flowers in a vase. The two of them still slept in the same bed at night, but they did not cross any boundaries.
It felt like we had returned to those days of mutual respect and courtesy.
The six dynasties of Taicheng competed in extravagance, with Jieqi and Linchun being the most luxurious.
"Let's get this party started!" After resolving some of the messy matters, Hua Yueli was very excited.
Gather all your classmates at the Listen to the Wind Singing venue. Inside, there are delicious dishes, various drinks, fruits and vegetables from all over the world, and all kinds of desserts. Outside, there are birds and beasts, and real weapons.
The group had just played with guns outside for a few rounds and then took a quick shower to wash away the smell of gunpowder.
Hua Yueli took a cup of sake and downed it in one gulp. Seeing that the others weren't very interested, she said, "Hurry up! This is sake that Taibai has been hiding for a long time. It was brewed by Master Fu's father back then. It's hard to even get a cup of it."
After busying themselves, they had to refill the drinks for the remaining people.
Mei Lanting turned the cup upside down, picked up his usual thermos, and took a small sip. "I won't drink anymore. I have a performance tomorrow."
He rarely drinks alcohol, and because of his voice, he avoids many foods and prepares many special products to protect his voice.
Wei Shengxi also turned her glass upside down, her slender, fair fingers resting on the bottom of the imperial green glass, making them appear even whiter and almost transparent.
"I won't drink anymore either." Her voice was low, and her enchanting face was pale, without a trace of color. She was still holding a small hand warmer in her other hand, and she was wearing a white fox fur cloak.
Although it was already winter, the floor heating in the room was very warm, and the remaining people were dressed very lightly, mostly wearing only one garment. In fact, for Wei Shengxi's sake, the room temperature was deliberately raised a few degrees, resulting in several of the eleven people wearing armbands, and the strips of cloth used for the armbands were even generously sponsored by Yu Ci.
"Alright, alright, what about you guys? You have no reason not to drink, right? This is a joyous occasion, aren't you going to have a drink with me?" Hua Yueli decisively gave up on these two "delicate young men" and looked at the other nine people.
Fu Muqian rolled his eyes at Hua Yueli, picked up a piece of cold bamboo shoots with his chopsticks and gave it to Yu Ci, "Yuexia, ignore this idiot, she's brainless. Try this cold bamboo shoot salad, it's sour and spicy, I remember you really like it."
Yu Ci remained calm and composed, taking the piece of cold bamboo shoot salad and naturally putting it to her lips. "Mmm, delicious. These bamboo shoots seem to be freshly grown. It's already the dead of winter, how can there still be such tender bamboo shoots?"
One bite and it's amazing.
She likes spicy and sour flavors.
"Whatever you want to eat, we brothers will make sure you get it." Fu Muqian picked up another bamboo shoot with his chopsticks, held it in the air, and smiled slightly.
I don't know if he was referring to food or something else.
"We don't even need to talk about that tsundere's mess, even that bastard got involved, let alone you." Lu Ming chimed in, then picked up a piece of spicy and sour fish from Yu Ci's plate. "Spicy and sour dishes aren't just limited to bamboo shoots, there are many other delicious things. For example, this piece of fish is made from the freshest sole fish caught from the deep sea, and when made spicy and sour, it's just as mouthwatering."
Jiang Yuzhu also spoke up, "If you've had too many bland side dishes, you can try these fish dishes, or try other side dishes. There's bound to be one that you'll find you like even more."
The group of people were talking at once, seemingly discussing Yu Ci's tastes, but who among them could not understand what they were actually discussing or saying?
Yu Ci listened quietly and ate all the dishes her friend put on her plate. "Naturally, after eating so many bamboo shoots, I don't really like spicy and sour dishes anymore. It's time to try some other dishes."
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with life, and her gentle smile was more captivating than the warm winter sun or the bright moon at night.
"That's great! What type do you like?" Ji Luqi, sitting next to Yu Ci, had her eyes light up when she heard this, directly piercing through the glass barrier. "Domineering CEO, gentle young master, cute younger brother, younger but strong and masculine? Or just switch genders? Mature woman? Sweet girl?"
"Although I don't have as much power and influence as some of them, I travel all over the world and know a lot of people of all types. Which type would you like to try? Or you can try them all, I can arrange it for you!"
"Don't worry, the people I've arranged are all top-notch, absolutely no oddballs or scoundrels! They're all exactly as they'd described!"
