Xiao Chen didn't refuse Ye Xiao and Hong Xiu's visit. Upon hearing this, the maid nodded respectfully and quickly left the courtyard.
Not long after, Ye Xiao and Hong Xiu arrived at the courtyard under the maid's lead.
Xiao Chen sat in the gazebo in the courtyard. Ye Xiao's eyes were filled with bitterness, but Hong Xiu's eyes were smiling. For some reason, Hong Xiu was filled with curiosity when facing Xiao Chen.
They walked all the way to the gazebo and were familiar with Xiao Chen, so Ye Xiao spoke first. "Brother Xiao Chen, I'm here to drink with you again."
Unlike usual, Ye Xiao's voice was filled with helplessness. Ye Xiao usually came alone, so it wasn't a big deal for him to drink with Xiao Chen. However, it was different this time because Hong Xiu was beside them.
To be honest, Ye Xiao was really worried that Hong Xiu's unruly character would anger Xiao Chen. If that happened, things would be really difficult to deal with.
Indeed, what one feared would happen. Before Ye Xiao could finish speaking and Xiao Chen could reply, Hong Xiu spoke first.
"Hey, you're Xiao Chen, the Seventh Realm's Heir? You're as cold as an ice cube. "
To be honest, Hong Xiu was very beautiful. At least, she was on the same level as Qin Shuirou and the other three girls. However, as soon as she said that, Ye Xiao was speechless and thought helplessly.
"My lady, aren't you just looking for trouble? I told you not to provoke that lunatic Xiao Chen. Why are you speaking like this the moment you arrive …"
Ye Xiao glared at Hong Xiu worriedly. Then, he sneaked a glance at Xiao Chen. Seeing that Xiao Chen's expression didn't change, Ye Xiao was relieved.
He was afraid that Xiao Chen would draw his sword and kill him in a fit of rage. However, it was apparent that Ye Xiao was overthinking things. Xiao Chen had no intention of paying attention to Hongxiu at all. He chose to ignore her.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, there was no need to be calculative with a little girl like Hong Xiu. Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't care about her at all.
Seeing that she was being ignored by Xiao Chen, Lady Hongxiu's unruly character naturally came out in an instant. She pouted her lips and looked at Xiao Chen with a displeased expression.
"Hey, you're so rude. I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"
As the little princess of the Eighth Realm, Hong Xiu's status was naturally extremely high. Besides, she was doted on by everyone since she was young. When had she ever been ignored like this?
She scolded in dissatisfaction. But even so, Xiao Chen continued to ignore her. He looked at Ye Xiao and said indifferently. "If you don't want to drink, you can leave."
Ye Xiao began to chase him away. Hearing this, Ye Xiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, please forgive me. Another day, another day I will invite you again …"
Afraid that Hong Xiu would anger Xiao Chen, Ye Xiao wanted to leave. But before he finished his sentence, Hong Xiu interrupted him.
"Why aren't you drinking? Let's drink."
"How dare he ignore me? Humph," she thought sulkily. As soon as she finished speaking, she sat down beside Xiao Chen.
Looking at Hong Xiu's behavior, Ye Xiao almost went crazy. This little girl really won't shed tears until she sees the coffin. Besides, Ye Xiao couldn't figure out why Hong Xiu was so interested in Xiao Chen.
With Hongxiu's character, she would never get close to others in the Eighth Realm. Except for himself and Red Lotus, Hongxiu would always be indifferent to others.
Strange. It was really strange. But now that Hong Xiu had sat down, Ye Xiao couldn't say much. He could only smile at Xiao Chen embarrassedly.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Chen, Hong Xiu 'er is a little unruly. Please don't mind her."
It was a warning to Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen didn't answer. He didn't even look at Hong Xiu.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Ye Xiao took out three jars of wine from his storage ring. Then, Xiao Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He directly picked up a jar and drank.
Ye Xiao was already used to drinking with Xiao Chen. Basically, Xiao Chen didn't talk. It was the same every time they drank.
However, for Lady Hongxiu, having to deal with a taciturn person like Xiao Chen really made her very unhappy. Seeing Xiao Chen continue to drink his wine, Lady Hongxiu pouted and grumbled.
"Hey, Big Ice Cube, why aren't you talking?"
Hong Xiu took the initiative to speak. However, she was met with silence. Xiao Chen ignored her and continued to drink as if he didn't hear her at all.
Xiao Chen had completely ignored Hong Xiu from the beginning to the end. This made Hong Xiu even more unhappy. However, she didn't know why, but when she saw Xiao Chen drinking, she actually felt a sense of pity for him.
With his snow-white hair and scarlet eyes, Xiao Chen gave off a lonely feeling when he drank.
In fact, over the past six months, Xiao Chen liked drinking very much. He also liked the feeling of getting drunk. Therefore, most of the time, Xiao Chen didn't deliberately use his spiritual power to dissolve the alcohol in his body.
This was because only when he was drunk could Xiao Chen feel that Qin Shuirou and the other three girls were still by his side.
After learning about Qin Shuirou and the other three girls, as well as his parents' background, Xiao Chen often used the alcohol to numb himself and make himself feel better.
It was only when he was drunk that Xiao Chen seemed to be able to sense the auras of Qin Shuirou and the other three women and feel that they were still around him.
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen drank in silence. As he drank more and more, Xiao Chen's eyes gradually blurred. His eyes, which were originally emotionless, actually revealed a touch of gentleness at this moment.
Ye Xiao was already used to this change in Xiao Chen. However, Hong Xiu was different. When she noticed the gentleness in Xiao Chen's eyes, Hong Xiu's heart trembled. She didn't know why, but a different feeling grew in her heart.
To Hong Xiu, Xiao Chen was like a mystery. She couldn't help but want to get closer to him and understand him.
Looking at the gentleness in Xiao Chen's eyes and sensing the loneliness and loneliness emanating from Xiao Chen, Hong Xiu didn't know why, but she was completely attracted to him.
Her cheeks unconsciously blushed. As she watched Xiao Chen drink, Hong Xiu unconsciously became infatuated.
Without caring about Hong Xiu's gaze, Xiao Chen drank three jugs of wine in a row. Then, he stood up and said to Ye Xiao calmly, "That's enough."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ye Xiao to reply. He directly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
He really left as soon as he said that. However, at this moment, Hong Xiu, who had been staring at Xiao Chen the entire time, suddenly said, "Xiao Chen, I've taken a liking to you."
