Miao Miao's hand was resting on the doorknob, the skin on the back of her hand taut from the pressure, but it relaxed as soon as I finished speaking.
"Zhuang Jun, you..." Miao Miao frowned slightly, but before she could finish her sentence, Wang Nan, who had approached from the side, interrupted her.
Both Miao Miao and I turned to look at him. Wang Nan walked up with a smile, naturally wrapping his arms around Miao Miao before lowering his gaze to me and smiling, "Long time no see."
With her head buried in Wang Nan's chest, Miao Miao mumbled a few words I couldn't catch. Wang Nan continued to smile and suggested we talk inside, taking Miao Miao's hand and giving me a look before the three of us walked in together.
I felt a bit hesitant to meet Miao Miao's eyes, but once we entered the private room, she acted completely at ease and even took the initiative to grab my hand, asking where I wanted to eat. I wasn't very hungry and simply said anywhere would be fine.
Wang Nan mentioned there was a nearby farmhouse restaurant that was quite good, with a lighter and fresher taste. Everyone agreed, so we headed over together.
The four of us sat down. Wang Nan and Lu Ming engaged in casual conversation while Miao Miao chimed in occasionally. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I wasn't in the mood to talk. I wanted to clarify things with Lu Ming but found no opportunity, so I decided to keep quiet and focus on my food.
After dinner, Wang Nan said that a few brothers from N City had just arrived and asked if we wanted to hang out together that night. Lu Ming agreed, and when Wang Nan looked at me, I shook my head. "I'm a bit tired; you all go ahead."
However, Miao Miao disagreed. "No way! Zhuang Jun, you have to go this time. Just think of it as a way to relax and have some fun. Wang Nan's friends are pretty nice; you should meet them."
She then leaned closer to whisper in my ear, "If you're really thinking about changing jobs, the few who came today are all successful in their careers. It wouldn't hurt to get to know them."
I knew Miao Miao was trying to help me find a familiar place to settle down again, but I intended to find my own path. Just as I was about to refuse, Wang Nan teased from the side, "You two sisters are whispering secrets."
Miao Miao looked over with a grin. "Of course! What do you know? Are you guys planning to hang out at Jin Tang tonight? You better book a private room for me and Zhuang Jun upstairs; we're going for some beauty treatments."
Wang Nan naturally agreed without hesitation, my refusal was silenced before it could be voiced. Well, let's go take a look first.
By the time we arrived at Jin Tang, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. There were about seven or eight people from N City, and only one woman, probably in her early twenties. As soon as she saw Lu Ming, she ran over and hugged him, causing the crowd to cheer and tease Wang Yue about not giving up.
Wang Yue, the woman being teased, held onto Lu Ming tightly and turned to make a face at several men: "I’m happy with this, what’s it to you?"
Laughter erupted again.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Lu Ming already has a kid; do you still want to be a stepmother? You should take a look at your own status."
Wang Yue retorted, "What’s wrong with me? Isn’t Lu Ge still single? Both unmarried men and women can do as they please; who are you to judge, you jerk?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
I was quite shocked on the side; Lu Ming has a child? I glanced at Lu Ming and saw that his expression was normal, not like he was joking. When I looked over at Miao Miao, she also seemed unfazed.
Wang Yue's foul language didn’t cool down the atmosphere; instead, everyone was even more eager to matchmake Wang Yue and Lu Ming. It seemed that Lu Ming had been married and divorced and had a child.
A few men downstairs had opened a big room for themselves; some were playing cards while others were singing. Miao Miao took my hand and said she wanted to go upstairs for a facial. Upon hearing this, Wang Yue smiled and walked over to us: "Alright then, I’ll join you."
Wang Yue came between us and naturally linked arms with both me and Miao Miao, cheerfully saying, "Let’s go, Sister Miao Miao. Oh right, who is this sister? She looks unfamiliar."
Wang Yue looked at me while asking.
"Sister Zhuang, my best friend."
"Oh, then I'll call you Sister Zhuang. Your skin looks really good, it's so enviable. You have to share your skincare secrets with me later."
Before I could respond, Miao Miao spoke up: "Look at what you're saying. Our Sister Zhuang is young and has always had great skin; there's nothing surprising about that."
