“Stop messing around!” At the thought of his status as a teacher, Pei Lang reproached.

Shen Miao smiled slightly, her eyes curved like crescent moons. She said, “But I chose Miss Liu Ying.”

As soon as she said that, Pei Lang froze.

Shen Miao put away the folding fan and looked at him with a smile. “Mr. Pei, I noticed that you’ve been looking at Miss Liu Ying’s room for a long time. Do you also yearn for her?”

Pei Lang stared at Shen Miao, his calm expression suddenly turning a little fierce.

Shen Miao was unmoved. She continued to smile and pointed at the Pleasure Restaurant at the side. “Since you are also interested in Miss Liu Ying, why don’t we go in to have a drink and talk about beauties?” She put her folding fan in front of her chest and went upstairs first. As she walked, she said without looking back, “Drinking wine and talking about beauties is the best thing in the world.”

Although Jingzhe, Gu Yu, and Mo Qing did not understand what Shen Miao meant, they had never refuted Shen Miao’s decision and immediately followed her in.

Pei Lang stood rooted to the ground for a moment before making up his mind to follow her in.

Ji Yushu, who was sitting by the window upstairs, jumped up. “See! I told you that Miss Shen likes Pei Lang. She went out of her way to see Miss Liu Ying just to get a chance to talk to Pei Lang today!”

Gao Yang ignored him and said, “Just now, she blocked their faces with a fan. What exactly did she say to Pei Lang?” As he spoke, Gao Yang looked at Xie Jingxing.

Xie Jingxing shrugged, not intending to comment.

“Speaking of which, when Miss Shen unfolded her fan just now, she did it smoothly and elegantly, even better than me.” Ji Yushu sighed. “Why did such a beautiful woman fall for a poor scholar? In what way am I worse than him?”

Xie Jingxing stood up. Ji Yushu asked, “Where are you going?”

“Of course I want to hear what they have to say.” Xie Jingxing smiled meaningfully. “I want to see what kind of chess piece Pei Lang is.”

In the elegant private room of the Pleasure Restaurant, Mo Qing was guarding the door. Jingzhe and Gu Yu stood on both sides with their heads lowered, as if they didn’t want to be recognized.

At the table, Shen Miao was pouring wine.

The wine was amber-colored and gave off a fragrant smell. This wine was not intoxicating. As long as one’s alcohol tolerance was not too bad, they would be fine.

Shen Miao poured two cups of wine. The way she poured the wine was very graceful. Her fingers grabbed the handle of the wine pot and poured the sparkling wine into the small jade cup.

Pei Lang watched as Shen Miao pushed a cup of wine to him and smiled. “Sir, please enjoy.”

“Shen Miao.” Pei Lang called her by her name. His expression had never softened since he entered. He said, “What exactly do you want?”

“Mr. Pei, why are you in such a hurry? It’s considered a violation of good etiquette to talk before you sample the wine.” Shen Miao looked at him calmly.

Pei Lang was stunned by her words. He had been in Guangwen Hall for several years and had always been respected by everyone he met. Even the most mischievous student would not speak to him in such a frivolous manner. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but it was Shen Miao. Pei Lang always felt that Shen Miao was not a frivolous person.However, after their encounter today, he found Shen Miao more mysterious.

Seeing that Pei Lang did not speak for a long time, Shen Miao chuckled and said, “Mr. Pei, I was just joking with you. Why are you so nervous?”
