A handsome guy like Xu Wen is exactly what Xiang Yuanqiu has always dreamed of.
How is it that Qinglan is so lucky, always encountering real handsome men, and there are always handsome men who like her, many of whom come from good families and have great qualities?
Sigh! It’s unfortunate for her that she has to like An Shaojie, and she seems determined to marry only him.
Looking at Xu Wen in front of her, Xiang Yuanqiu realizes that in this world, when comparing people, there are indeed some phrases that apply: "the great wizard sees the lesser wizard," "the waves behind drive on those before," "there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people." She secretly laments that beneath the emperor's feet, there are truly hidden talents.
The once invincible handsome guy An Shaojie pales in comparison to him.
From the moment Xu Wen appeared before everyone, Xiang Yuanqiu had a strong premonition that this handsome boy really liked Qinglan and cared about her. Because from the moment he appeared, his eyes did not look at any of the other girls present. Even the gentle and beautiful Lin Xi only caught a fleeting glance from him as he politely greeted her before his gaze quickly shifted to Qinglan and never left.
No, his gaze did not leave her. He stood by the sofa with his back to her, taking off his clothes, so his eyes naturally couldn’t turn to her. But his heart, his feelings never left her.
Just a glance was enough for others to see his deep affection and care for her, subtle yet more radiant than a burning gaze, always focused on her.
His feelings for her stunned Xiang Yuanqiu and made her heart race.
Then she exchanged a glance with Wang Wei. "What do you think? Another rival appears. Do you still have a chance?"
Wang Wei had been very confident. But when Xu Wen showed up, all his confidence vanished.
He hesitated and didn’t dare to approach.
Xu Wen had already walked over to Qinglan's side, his hand gently resting on the back of the chair beside her.
Relying on Wang Wei was no longer an option; he was just a "dog meat that couldn't sit at the main table."
Only she could take action.
"Hey, Lanlan, who else besides me has the right to sit in this spot next to you?" Just as Xu Wen was about to pull out the chair to sit down, a whirlwind accompanied by a soft voice and a nimble figure rushed over.
His hand stopped moving on the back of the chair.
"Hello, I'm Lanlan's classmate from middle school to high school, her desk mate, and best friend. This is my first time in Beijing, specifically to see her." At this moment, Xiang Yuanqiu had already walked to the side of the chair, smiling as she revealed her relationship with Qinglan to everyone.
Rather than showing her relationship to everyone, it would be better to show it to Xu Wen. Because the only person competing for this position was Xu Wen. He was the only one who cared about this position, or perhaps he was the only one truly qualified to sit there.
If Xiang Yuanqiu had not been here tonight, this position would undoubtedly belong to him, as it was the will of everyone present.
But tonight, she Xiang Yuanqiu just wouldn’t let that wish come true.
She smiled and politely nodded at Xu Wen, pretending not to understand his intention to sit here, using politeness and a smile to signal him to remove his hand.
Xu Wen was taken aback for a moment.
"Oh, hello, Qinglan's good friend." He sincerely and politely extended his hand.
When Xu Wen entered, he genuinely hadn’t noticed the two unfamiliar figures here because all his thoughts were focused on Qinglan.
"I'm sorry for being rude." He smiled apologetically, gently pulled out the chair for her, and gestured for her to sit down. "You came from afar and are a classmate and good friend of Qinglan, so you should sit here."
Everyone present, even Lin Xi, believed that Xiang Yuanqiu was a classmate and good friend of Wang Wei and Qinglan. Others thought so too; otherwise, why would they travel such a long distance to visit her? Therefore, Xu Wen naturally thought the same.
Qinglan quickly grabbed her hand. "Ah, you should be sitting here with me."
Everyone began to tease Qinglan for not properly introducing her two classmates and friends to Xu Wen.
"It's fine, it's fine. My oversight. A friend comes from afar, and I didn’t notice. It's my fault; I should be punished." Xu Wen promptly used self-reflection and self-punishment to stop everyone from blaming Qinglan.
He didn’t want to see everyone scolding her. Although their blame was not malicious and was just a joke, he still felt sorry for her.
"I'll punish myself with three cups of wine later as an apology to Qinglan's two good friends," Xu Wen said with a smile, turning to Xiang Yuanqiu.
Qinglan's friends are his friends; he should take good care of everything related to Qinglan.
Qinglan smiled, warmth spreading throughout her body. As long as Xu Wen was by her side, she was always surrounded by a current of warmth. This feeling had never faded in Qinglan's heart, even now when there was no longer the ambiguous feelings they once shared, only a friendship as rich and fragrant as fine wine.
Later, he also graciously offered his seat to Wang Wei for a while.
In the end, Wang Wei sat next to Xiang Yuanqiu, while Xu Wen was arranged to sit next to Lin Xi.
Just as Xu Wen reached his seat, a clear voice rang out.
"Hey! Xu Wen, Lin Xi is Lanlan's childhood sweetheart and a good friend of mine. My bond with Lanlan runs deeper and our connection is stronger. Therefore, tonight you should not only punish yourself with three cups of wine but several more. You’ve never shaken hands with me or Lin Xi, nor have you pulled out chairs for us. When you came in, you didn’t even glance at your friends who traveled from afar or at me and Lin Xi. You have several offenses to atone for; how about punishing yourself with several more cups of wine?"
At this moment, Simple was very excited and nearly danced with joy over her speech. She looked eagerly at everyone, hoping for their support.
As expected, Yao Mengni, who had never been willing to play a supporting role, was the first to respond to Simple's call, followed by everyone else joining in.
At this time, Qinglan looked at the silent Hao Chuanze and asked, "Hao Chuanze, where is Mengmeng? Why hasn't she arrived yet? Can you urge her to come?"
When they discussed dinner plans earlier, Yao Mengni had also asked him about Shen Xiaomeng and asked him to call her over to join them for dinner. "No one has answered the phone," Hao Chuanze explained. "This afternoon, she was suddenly called away by a classmate; there was something urgent at the academy that needed her help, so she left in a hurry."
"Oh," Qinglan said, lowering her head and taking a sip of water from the cup in front of her. "Our department had an event this afternoon that I was supposed to attend, but I took leave early. It seems my responsibilities fell on Mengmeng’s shoulders instead; she’s doing my work."
