“Since you’re here, sit down.” Chu Yi’s voice was as calm as usual. He was neither shocked nor impatient.
He pressed one hand on the back of Gu Yanfei’s hand. His calloused palm was warm and dry, affecting her skin and blood to her heart.
This simple action was worth more than a thousand words.
Gu Yanfei was like a cat whose fur had been stroked. The anger in her heart was extinguished, and she pressed the back of her hand with his.
Chu You had no intention of being polite to Chu Yi at all. He invited Baili Yin, Yuan Zhe, and the others to sit down.
Yes, the show had just started.
He was in a better mood than before. His eyebrows flew up as he took the lead to sit down. He inevitably looked at the other person in the elegant seat—Xia Houqing, who was dressed in a red shirt.
“This is…” Chu You sized Xia Houqing up and felt that he was very unfamiliar. He was neither a noble nor a courtier.
Previously, Baili Yin was only focused on the little beauty. Only now did he notice the young man in red sitting in the private room. His heart skipped a beat.
Xia Houqing didn’t look at Chu You nor Baili Yin. He was expressionless and wasn’t moved by the identities of the others.
His long and thick eyelashes drooped when he lowered his eyes, casting a shallow shadow in his eye sockets, and making the skin at the ends of his eyes look as fair as white porcelain.
He held the teacup in one hand and drank tea by himself. His other hand was hidden in his wide sleeve. He felt a warm current quickly spread from his palm and spread throughout his body, making him feel warm all over, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
This feeling was very strange.
When he didn’t speak, it made people feel that he was arrogant and cold.
Chu You only took a few glances at Xia Houqing and quickly retracted his gaze.
“My friend,” Chu Yi simply said.
Then, the elegant seat fell silent again.
The performers downstairs sang even more excitedly. They had already reached the point where the protagonist, Liu Qingxiao, had been rejected by his fiancee and humiliated by her family. In the atmosphere, they resolutely shouted, “Don’t bully the poor.”
A small climax caused the audience to let out a round of enthusiastic applause.
Yuan Zhe and Wang Nan didn’t pay much attention to Xia Houqing. Only Baili Yin’s expression became stranger and stranger, and his brown eyes were filled with uncertainty.
Baili Yin took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. He asked casually, “Young Master Yi, may I ask your friend’s name?”
At this moment, he could no longer care about Gu Yanfei. His gaze couldn’t help but drift to the man in red in front of him, sizing him up.
This person’s physique was really similar to another person’s, and so were his beautifully shaped phoenix eyes.
They were too similar!
Chu Yi turned his face and also looked at Xia Houqing. His eyes flashed with a clear light as he said faintly, “Xia…”
The moment he heard this word, Baili Yin panicked. His heart seemed to have been hit by something as a figure wearing a pitch-black ghost mask appeared in his mind—Heavenly Palace’s Lord, Xia Houqing.
But Chu Yi only said one word.
Xia Houqing glanced at Chu Yi indifferently with a faint smile.
Is he really Xia Houqing?! Baili Yin’s heart was in a mess. He told himself that he must be thinking too much. That’s right, this person isn’t Xia Houqing. How can Xia Houqing still be in the State of Jin?!
If Xia Houqing is in the State of Jin, won’t he have given the opportunity to the crown prince and his brother for nothing?!
Xia Houqing is an ambitious person with the desire to become an emperor who commands his vassals. Its impossible for him to miss such a good opportunity…
“A few esteemed guests, the drinks have arrived.” At that moment, a waiter entered the elegant room with nimble steps, exclaiming energetically, “We have our signature fine wines here, such as ‘Autumn Dew White,’ ‘Green Bamboo Leaves,’ ‘Luofu Spring,’ and ‘Flower Carved.’ I’ve brought a cask of each for you to try, dear guests, and see how they suit your tastes…”
In the private room, the fragrance of the wine was stronger.
The waiter enthusiastically served drinks to Chu You, Baili Yin, Wang Nan, and the others, chattering non-stop.
However, these voices didn’t reach Baili Yin’s ears at all.
Baili Yin drank the flower sculpture in his cup absent-mindedly and calmed himself down. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the beautiful young man in red. That thought floated uncontrollably in his mind: Is this person Xia Houqing?
Baili Yin cared too much about this person and didn’t realize that his hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.
Gu Yanfei noticed this with her sharp eyes and smiled..
