Li Xi, who was dragging her heavy body back home, laid on her bed motionlessly like a pile of dead mud. It was only until she felt a force pressing down on him from behind that she opened her sleepy eyes and struggled slightly to turn over. She glanced at Ling Yushi, who was standing in front of him.
"Why are you so early?" With regards to Ling Yushi being able to return home at 5 o'clock, Li Xi was very surprised.
Ling Yushi dragged the lazy looking Li Xi off her body, "Wear well, I'm going to the Long Family tonight."
The son of the Long Family caused Li Xi's sleepiness to completely disappear. Rubbing her eyes, Li Xi frowned. What are Long Family doing now? "
"He should be celebrating Xia Nuan's return." Ling Yushi's words were plain, but Li Xi could hear some hidden feelings in her tone.
Li Xi looked at Ling Yushi seriously, and then sat comfortably on top of the bed. She raised her watery eyes and laughed: "You wouldn't be unwilling to go, right? Could it be that she was afraid of meeting Xia Nuan? Ling Yushi, this doesn't seem to be your style. "
Ling Yushi's cold face revealed a smile as she pressed Li Xi down once again. That's my style. "
"Hey, hey!" Li Xi looked nervous, but he had already surrounded herself.
Half an hour later …
Li Xi had no choice but to stick her head out from under the bed, and angrily looked at Ling Yushi who was already dressed.
"Hurry up and wake up, otherwise it'll be too late." Ling Yushi urged coldly, but her voice was full of lust.
Helpless, she could only obey. If she missed this celebration, she might miss out on something. It just so happened that she wanted to experience the relationship between Xia Nuan and the Long Family people.
After Li Xi finished dressing herself, she came to the Long Family with Ling Yushi.
This time, the Long Family arena was very large, and was very different from the usual low profile. In Li Xi's opinion, Long Family attached great importance to Xia Nuan's return.
"Yuxiao, I am very happy that you are here." Although his old eyes were a little dirty, they were still like an eagle that had been on the battlefield for a long time. Soon after, they were able to see the movements of their prey, and even received heavy injuries at the first possible moment.
"Grandpa is being too polite." Ling Yushi replied politely and continued to exchange pleasantries.
Only when a black figure barged into her watery eyes did she set her eyes and sized up Xia Nuan, who was shuttling back and forth in the crowd with great interest. Xia Nuan, who was still in her low-cut black dinner jacket, seemed to be rather capable and not a woman at all.
All sorts of people surrounded her, and she was truly a different woman, her aura was so strong that Su Wan and Gu Wei did not have it before.
"I heard your wife opened her detective agency. When I have time, help me find some customer's information and get hold of some customers who don't pay their debt. Haha, I think they will obediently return the money!" Long Yu laughed loudly, sounding like he was joking.
Li Xi regained her senses, looked at the Long Yu who was happily laughing, and lowered his head once again.
A faint fruity fragrance suddenly floated in the air, attracting Li Xi's attention. She once again raised her small eyes, and what welcomed him was a smile that could attract half of the attention of people.
"Grandfather!" Xia Nuan ran past Li Xi and went straight for Long Yu. Her small hand gently held onto Long Yu's arm, looking very close to him. Yu Xiao, you're here? "
Xia Nuan looked at Li Xi with eyes that were gentle like water. Li Xi raised her eyebrows and lowered his eyes, but her own shoulder was lightly made up by Ling Yushi. She heard a warm voice from behind him, "Aren't you hungry? How about I take you out for a bite to eat? "
Li Xi slightly raised her eyes, but upon seeing Ling Yushi's limitless doting gaze, the discomfort she felt just now burst forth from the bottom of her heart within a second. His doting attitude was always like a ray of sunlight, allowing Li Xi to find a trace of hope when she was at her most disappointed.
The two of them slowly left the crowd, making Xia Nuan and Man Man feel awkward. Their smiles slowly faded as a layer of tax quietly climbed up their moon-like eyes.
"This is only the beginning. He's still the same person from back then." "Seeing Xia Nuan's disappointed look, Long Yu stroked his beard with a smile in his eyes. "Wan-Er, you're grandpa's most beloved granddaughter, so you should properly grasp the celebratory banquet grandpa specially arranged for you. Alcohol is a good thing, so you should make good use of it."
Long Yu squinted his small eyes. His crafty smile made Xia Nuan feel a little disgusted. I'm busy. "
Just as Xia Nuan was about to turn around and leave, Long Yu's expression turned cold. Long Yu shook the wine cup in his hand, his purplish red lips leaving a mark on the transparent cup as he slowly drank the liquid.
"Humph, the wings are hard!" "Long Yu muttered coldly, his eyes revealing a sinister ruthlessness. However, a cold sneer was revealed from the listed eyes on the corner of his mouth. "Monkey Sun has never been more like Buddha!"
"Grandfather!" Suddenly, Long Chen's voice came from behind him. Long Yu's sinister expression changed into affection and he slowly turned his head. Grandfather, you seem to be much closer to elder sister Wen than me. "
The evil and charming Long Chen's eyes revealed a smile, his big hands rested on Long Yu's shoulders, he looked carefree. Long Yu frowned and sighed, he laughed and did not speak, and once again, he looked at the Xia Nuan participating in the banquet with his deep eyes. Hehe … Long Chen, remember, when you encounter difficulties, you don't have to personally act. Sometimes, it might be best if you can find the opponent's fatal weakness. "
Long Yu's words made the smile in the bottom of Long Chen's eyes disappear, and his expression became a little ugly as what Gu Wei had said that day echoed in his ears.
"Alright, you youngsters should go play, not stand here accompanying an old guy like me." Long Yu pushed Long Chen, who was beside him, to the banquet, his eyes filled with laughter.
Long Chen forced a smile, but it was as if a knot had formed in his heart.
The lights suddenly went out in the middle of the island. "There was a hiss, and a sudden burst of light hit the center of the stage." Shall we play a game? "
The host who slowly spoke attracted everyone's attention, "It's pitch black now. Everyone needs to find someone to dance with within five minutes. Hopefully, a single man and woman can find their destined him here!" The final beam of light suddenly stopped and everyone was once again filled with sighs.
"Do you want to play?" In the darkness, Li Xi spoke softly to the tall Ling Yushi, who did not flinch. "Let's see if you can find me, or maybe I can. That's actually pretty good too."
Hearing Li Xi's words, Ling Yushi smiled. I will definitely find you. "
"Alright then!"
All of a sudden, the lights were turned on and the blinding light made people blink helplessly. The host from before once again stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face. It was just a prelude, how about everyone cooperate with my arrangements? The girl stands on the left while the boy stands on the right. You guys have forty seconds to remember the location of the partner you want to invite, then it'll depend on the degree of tacit understanding between the two of you.
As he spoke, he split the men and women into two groups, one on each side of the hall.
Xia Nuan looked at Ling Yushi opposite of her, her eyes flashing with warm feelings, but Ling Yushi's eyes were incomparably cold, as he looked past her at Li Xi, who was standing beside the other three.
With regards to being ignored one after another, Xia Nuan bit her lips a little unwillingly. She did not believe that Ling Yushi would forget about her so quickly.
As for Long Chen, who was standing amongst the group of male students, he sized up Li Xi who was facing his with great interest, as the corner of his eyes revealed a faint charm. Four people, four thoughts. It was more like he was making a game for himself.
"Begin!" With the host's words, the lights were extinguished once again. The people in the banquet held their breaths. At first, the girls were still standing in their original position, but later, some began to grope their way forward in the darkness.
Xia Nuan slowly walked along the crowd, but she was not at the location where Ling Yushi was. Instead, she was at the halfway point between Ling Yushi and Li Xi. She knew that Ling Yushi would not choose her, but she had to fight for a chance.
In the darkness, people began to become restless, occasionally touching and making sounds.
Ling Yushi slightly raised his brows, his black eyes revealing a faint smile. After everyone left, he slowly walked forward with a pace that was neither light nor heavy …
Long Chen, who was standing beside Ling Yushi, went straight towards Li Xi, and at that moment, the situation had become somewhat complicated, everyone in the darkness could not detect him, and only Li Xi stood there indifferently, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as though she was waiting to watch a good show.
She did not need to fight with anyone, she only needed to see the decision made by Ling Yushi and Xia Nuan.
Time trickled by, but Li Xi still felt a bit of unease in her heart. She didn't know who was the first to hold her hand, and what she wanted to know was what Ling Yushi was doing right now …
Xia Nuan slowly arrived at the center of the forecast and turned around to face Ling Yushi. She was even more nervous, and not far away, Ling Yushi went around one person after another as she walked towards her.
In the darkness, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but her heartbeat was still speeding up.
Suddenly, a hand fell on her shoulder. Li Xi, who was supposed to follow suit reflexively, looked at the black figure in front of him and couldn't calm down at all.
"What is it? Reject? " Before Li Xi could react, she used a bit of force with her big hand and pulled her into her embrace. The corner of Ling Yushi's mouth rose slightly, "You won't be able to run away."
In his arms, as he felt the domineering aura that he was born with, a warm smile actually unconsciously crawled on Li Xi's lips, causing her heart that had been stuck in his throat a moment ago to slowly loosen up. She was surprised that he was able to find her.
"Pah!" With the sound of the lights on, a blinding light filled the entire room.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes. First, they looked at the person in front of them …
"The host stood on stage and swept his eyes over everyone. His eyes revealed a smile." Alright, everyone, don't mind it. This is just a small game. "Everyone, please enjoy to your heart's content. After this, our game will be even more interesting!"
The beautiful music slowly rose as Li Xi was forced to follow Ling Yushi's footsteps and walk away step by step. She then glanced at the two people dancing in the distance, Xia Nuan and Long Chen.
However, Li Xi wanted their position to be right between him and Ling Yushi.
"You … How did you find me after Xia Nuan? " Raising her watery eyes to look at Ling Yushi, Ling Yushi only smiled slightly, and then placed his handsome face close to her ear. Like this, all the kissing work made Li Xi's small face flush red.
"You have the marks I carved." Ling Yushi slowly pursed his lips, the corners of his lips still carrying a faint smile, his cold eyes sweeping across the distance, and thinking about the matter of him passing by Xia Nuan's side just now.
Just as Ling Yushi was about to reach the finish line, the faint fragrance of a fruit drifted over. He was too familiar with the smell, so he took a detour …
