Stealthily, stealthily.
Yuan Jin 'er walked stealthily through the long corridor in the building, looking for the target at the entrance of the opposite corridor. When she saw the figure going downstairs, she quickly ran forward for a short distance. When several girls passing by in the corridor looked at her in confusion, she raised her head, stretched out her hand to pull a small strand of hair, and walked forward in a dignified manner. However, she took small steps, and her speed was still very fast.
Sister Yunzhu was very confident in him, but she didn't think so. But no matter what, Ning Yi was, after all, one of their own people who had a relationship with Takeshi. In this matter, Lv Xia was originally sure to stand on the side of Xue Yan, and she couldn't win. She just needed to give in a little bit as a lesson. If she really watched the other side lose face, Sister Yunzhu would probably feel bad. It was not easy for Ning Yi to become famous, and she couldn't bear to see him lose face like this.
Of course, before that, she should scare him first.
Through several gaps in the corridor where they could see the garden in the middle, they quietly observed the intersection from different directions. Yuan Jin 'er first hid outside the house at the corner of the corridor, quietly listening to the footsteps coming from there, and the singing from the hall at this time. At the same time, in another corridor that intersected here, Liu Qingdi, who was walking quickly, also approached this intersection. When the figure of Ning Yi appeared in his sight, he smiled and cupped his hands, "Brother Ning, nice to meet you …"
"Oh …"
"Uh …"
On the opposite side of Ning Yi, behind Liu Qingdi, Yuan Jin 'er suddenly walked out. Originally, there were three crossroads. For a moment, the three people had different expressions. Fortunately, Liu Qingdi's expression was relatively normal. Ning Yi suddenly saw two people appear in front of him at the same time. He suddenly froze and opened his mouth in astonishment.
On the other side, Yuan Jin 'er originally wanted to frighten people, but now she was probably even more frightened. She stepped out gracefully like a dance, intending to block in front of Ning Yi. She drew an arc with a proud smile on her face, and rose as her body straightened up. Unexpectedly, when she just stepped out, a man's back suddenly appeared in front of her. Her eyes also widened as she raised her head and straightened her chest. After realizing that this guy was Liu Qingdi, she stretched out her hands to cover her face, softly "oh", and turned around. She lowered her head, covered her bulging cheeks, and then slid back like a ghost.
Ning Yi just watched the whole process. At this time, his cheeks twitched a few times. He didn't know whether to laugh or what. The scene of Yuan Jin 'er jumping out and widening her eyes was really a bit frightening, but in retrospect, it was actually quite funny. For a moment, the expression on his face was complicated and rich. Liu Qingdi made a very enthusiastic attitude and cupped his hands to greet him. But before the greeting was finished, he somewhat unconfidently lowered his head and looked around himself. He thought to himself, "Did something funny happen to my dressing?"
"Today, Brother Ning …"
"Oh … Brother, are you going to the toilet?" Ning Yi looked at the direction where Yuan Jin 'er disappeared and thought for a while. Facing the man in front of him, he smiled and took a step back. He spread out his hands toward the other end of the road and said, "Sorry."
This time, Liu Qingdi was really stunned. Originally, the reason why he came out to greet him was simple. Ning Liheng had never participated in this kind of social activities. Tonight, he finally met him once. He was also confident. It was nothing more than a poetry competition and a literary competition to make a good story. Since Ning Liheng's character was usually flat or eccentric, it was nothing for him to fan the flames and say a few sarcastic words. Who knew that when he greeted him, he would encounter such a strange reaction.
He didn't know what Ning Yi was thinking about. His expression was so strange, but obviously, he didn't pay much attention to him. It was like a bucket of cold water was poured on him. He still wanted to greet him from the beginning and start the topic. However, looking at Ning Liheng's kind expression, it was clear that he was absent-mindedly but kindly saying, "It's nothing. You can go." It was just a sentence, an action and an expression, but he felt that he couldn't find the mood to continue talking. Finally, he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and smiled, and unhappily went to the toilet …
In fact, he didn't want to go to the toilet at all …
After walking more than ten meters, he looked back again. Ning Yi was still standing there thinking about something. It seemed that Ning Yi noticed him looking back and smiled and cupped his hands. Ning Yi also smiled and cupped his hands, and then walked away resentfully.
Ning Yi looked at this person's back and felt a little bored. From the attitude he showed the moment he appeared, Ning Yi knew what this guy's purpose was. To be honest, it didn't matter if he wrote a poem today. After all, Li Pin's face and the Su family's face were taken care of a little. It didn't matter if he said a few perfunctory words to this person. However, seeing Yuan Jin 'er come out from that side, he was too lazy to chat here for a long time. He heard that Liu Qingdi and Yuan Jin' er used to be quite familiar. If he dawdled here and let him see Yuan Jin 'er, he was afraid that he wouldn't treat him very well.
When he didn't want to chat, the other party couldn't say anything meaningful. After a few friendly gestures, the other party felt bored and had to leave. At this time, watching the figure disappear, Ning Yi walked a few steps forward, passed the intersection, and looked at Yuan Jin 'er at the corner.
So embarrassing …
Next to him, Yuan Jin 'er leaned against the wall, and at this time, she was extremely embarrassed and reflecting …
*****
"What's wrong?"
At the corner of the long corridor, a man and a woman were talking there sneakily. The music in the hall was decadent, and from time to time, there was the sound of chips crossing. Some people passed by from other intersections, cast a glance here, and then left. Ning Yi asked a question to Yuan Jin 'er, and Yuan Jin' er's originally somewhat annoyed expression turned into a slight resentment the moment he appeared.
It's okay. Anyway, every time I see her, she seems to be a little resentful.
"Nothing, I just wanted to scare you. What's wrong?"
"Oh … I was really scared just now." Ning Yi smiled and nodded. Seeing Yuan Jin 'er's expression, he said, "I saw you just now. What are you doing here?"
"Of course to promote century eggs. I know Mrs. Chen here."
"The very beautiful one?"
"Yeah." Yuan Jin 'er nodded, and then frowned, "I didn't want to tell you who is beautiful! Humph, if it weren't for Sister Yunzhu, I wouldn't come to remind you … I warn you, don't show off your poetry. If you want to write it, write it next time. Don't write it here! "
"Wow." Ning Yi thought for a while and nodded, "That Miss Lv Xia and someone from the Xue family have developed to such a stage?"
Yuan Jin 'er raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and then her expression softened a little, "It's good that you can think of it. Lv Xia's glass of wine tonight is destined for Xue Yan. You can't fight for it no matter what. When the time comes, the better the poetry you write, the more people will say that you're being cold-shouldered. Humph …" Then she looked at Ning Yi, "You've guessed it too?"
"Heh, just now I told De Xin upstairs that Xue Jin suffered a big loss last time. Although Xue Yan is his brother, he wouldn't act so recklessly if he didn't have the confidence to win. But if it weren't for your words, I'm afraid he would really make a fool of himself … "
"It's good that you know." Jin 'er's expression turned from gloomy to sunny, and then she said, "Sister Yunzhu is here, so I came to inform you. Thank Sister Yunzhu tomorrow."
Ning Yi nodded with a smile, "Well, by the way, you and Liu Qingdi …"
As soon as he asked this question, the other side glared at him, "I don't know him!"
The two of them chatted for quite a while. Yuan Jin 'er even suggested some ideas. "Why don't you hide outside and pretend that you're not here?" Then, they parted ways. In fact, the second round of the performance in the hall had already gone on for a while.
Yuan Jin 'er went all the way back to the previous room, but Sister Yunzhu wasn't there. She wouldn't leave first, so she must have gone to find Mrs. Chen. Yuan Jin 'er left the room again, and this time she paid attention to Liu Qingdi's position, so as not to encounter any embarrassment. There were some women she knew in the Yan Cui House, and when they saw her, they couldn't help but talk with surprise. In the process of asking about Mrs. Chen's position, the beauty named Lv Xia also thought for a long time on the stage in the hall. Then she walked down the stage, poured a glass of wine beside her, and bit her lips awkwardly. Then she lowered her head and walked to the table where the Xue family was, looking a little shy.
Then she toasted the glass of wine to Xue Yan.
In the hall, some people laughed, and some people scolded. At such a moment, some people were unhappy. The private room on the second floor where the Su family was was slightly silent, and it could be imagined what kind of atmosphere it was.
Before this, both Liu Qingdi and Li Pin had written poems, and both of them had paid a lot of money, but Ning Yi didn't make a move after all. Yuan Jin 'er shrugged slightly and walked to Mrs. Chen. Fortunately, she was not entertaining guests at this time. After opening the door of the dressing room, she saw Mrs. Chen, and then looked at the busy women around.
"Hey? Where's Sister Yunzhu? "
"Your Yunzhu?" Mrs. Chen thought for a while, "I haven't seen her."
"Ah …"
After a while, she heard a familiar sound of a zither.
At this time, Lv Xia, the famous singer of the Yan Cui House, finished her performance, and also chose the partner to drink with tonight. Although other women would also make these choices, after all, Lv Xia was the real focus. Although there were still a few more performances after that, when the results came out, it caused the hall to be in an uproar. These few performances could be said to have unfolded in the worst atmosphere of the night. Everyone was talking about the wealth of the Xue family, the talents of Liu Qingdi and Li Pin, and of course, they would shake their heads, ridicule, or laugh at the little loss of the Su family. Under such circumstances, the music sounded from the stage.
The clamor continued, and the sound of the zither was faint. At first, it did not attract attention, as if a slight wind was mixed in with the crowd's words. It did not seem aloof or out of place, and it only accompanied the sound of the music. Probably not many people could notice it. Yuan Jin 'er was probably the most sensitive to the music, and it took her a few seconds to distinguish it. Then, she frowned slightly and couldn't believe it.
"Sister Yunzhu …"
When this low voice came out, it was as indiscernible as the sound of the zither. Then, the expression of Mrs. Chen also began to change. Following that, the sound of the guqin seemed to become clearer. The two of them walked to the room next door while listening to the sound of the guqin. Yuan Jin 'er stretched out her hand, took a deep breath, and then pushed the window that allowed her to look into the hall.
