The banquet had not officially started yet, so Li Weixi still had time to wait for Lu Luan.
However, she felt that it was unusual for Lu Luan to be so late.
She took a sip of fruit juice absent-mindedly, her gaze fixed on the entrance. In order not to arouse Lin Yi's suspicion, she deliberately lowered her head slightly and let the strands of hair in front of her forehead cover some of her gaze.
Chi Zhihan, who was beside her, had volunteered to go into the crowd to look for Lu Luan. At this moment, he also turned around and walked back.
When she saw Li Weixi looking up at her, she shook her head regretfully. "I didn't find him. He probably isn't here yet. Let's wait a little longer. If it doesn't work out, we'll try the previous method again."
"Okay." Li Weixi nodded absentmindedly. Just as she was about to say something, she felt that the sound in the banquet hall had abnormally lowered by a few decibels.
Li Weixi and Chi Zhihan looked at each other and turned their gazes to the entrance.
It was indeed him.
Lu Luan had arrived late. He still looked gentle and elegant. The person holding his arm was Roman.
Huo Zhanbai had also appeared at the banquet with him.
"You're finally here." Chi Zhihan heaved a sigh of relief and sat down beside Li Weixi. "You should be relieved now."
"You can say that." Li Weixi's face also revealed a slight smile, but her expression was a little strange.
Why did Roman appear with him?
Ji Xi shouldn't have come. Since she knew that being with Lu Luan would be painful, why did she still accompany him to attend and do such a meaningless thing?
"What's wrong?" Chi Zhihan sensed that something was wrong with her and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Li Weixi shook her head. "Nothing. I'm thinking about something."
She looked at Roman again, trying to find something on her face.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Roman turned her head and gave her a lazy smile, as if to tell her that she was just here to play.
Li Weixi's gaze became a little complicated. She didn't know why, but she felt that she could clearly understand Roman's thoughts at this moment. It was just like how she had used a calm appearance to hide her inner struggle countless times before, but no matter how sad she was, she was still willing to stand by that person's side.
The difference was that she could no longer see the path called hope, and she no longer had any expectations for that person. On the other hand, Roman had not reached the point of despair.
Li Weixi did not know what kind of future she would have, because he would not interfere with her current choice.
Li Weixi smoothed the creases on her skirt and stood up. "Let's walk around."
Chi Zhihan had just sat down to take a sip of juice when he stood up again. "Aren't we waiting for him?"
Li Weixi shook her head. "It's too obvious here. I definitely have to be in a secret place to interact with Lu Luan. Let's walk around and look for him."
"That's true." Chi Zhihan picked up the juice and followed Li Weixi around.
As they walked through the crowd, Li Weixi could feel the piercing gazes on her back. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she had been through all kinds of things, so she could deal with it peacefully at this moment. Just like that, she calmly brushed past everyone who hated her.
Before they found a suitable place to talk, they bumped into Lin Yi.
The man was holding a wine glass and chatting with someone. When he saw Li Weixi, he walked over. "Are you full?"
"Yes, I ate a little too much, so I'm just walking around." Li Weixi said casually. "I heard that the antique brick floor of your banquet hall is engraved with different paintings. I just happened to take a look."
"If you're really curious, I can get someone to send you the photos that have been taken."
"No need. I might be interested now, but I can't be sure later."
"Then do as you wish. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Lin Yi patted her head and walked back to the table.
Chi Zhihan couldn't help but sigh. "Now it seems like he's really a considerate boyfriend."
Li Weixi smiled self-deprecatingly. "What's the use of that? He's about to get married. "
Afraid that she would be sad, Chi Zhihan didn't say anything more. He quickly changed the topic and led her forward.
In the end, the two of them found a door in the corner. It was said to be connected to the deck outside.
Li Weixi and Chi Zhihan walked out.
The sky outside had already darkened. The river reflected the night sky, and a few scattered stars decorated it. It was exceptionally quiet.
There was a row of tables and chairs at the edge of the deck. Each set of tables and chairs was separated by a screen. The lights were very dim, so they couldn't see clearly.
In terms of talking, such a place was good, but they were afraid that someone would come.
Li Weixi thought for a while and pointed over there. "Let's wait there."
Chi Zhihan took a look and felt that this wasn't the best place to talk. "Here? Are you sure? "
"Yes." Li Weixi nodded. "This is a bed. It's different from other hotels or villas. There's no place to talk. Let's do it here."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you when you talk."
As Chi Zhihan spoke, he found a seat with Li Weixi and sat down.
The two of them chatted casually. As they listened to the sound of the boat moving through the river, their hearts calmed down.
At this moment, the music in the banquet hall changed. It sounded more enthusiastic and hurried than the previous one. It should be the official start of the banquet.
At this time, most people should be busy socializing, getting to know others, or attending balls and events. No one would come here.
After waiting for a while, there was a movement at the door of the banquet hall.
Li Weixi and Chi Zhihan instinctively looked over. The wall lamp at the door clearly illuminated the face of the person who came. It was Lu Luan.
Li Weixi raised his hand and waved at him. When he saw him walking towards him, he lowered his arm.
Lu Luan walked over and sat down in front of her. He admired the surrounding scenery and nodded. "It's not bad here. It's quiet."
Li Weixi smiled. "Is it very noisy inside?"
"It's very noisy." Lu Luan knocked his head. "If I continue talking with them, my brain won't be able to handle it."
Of course, this was a joke. However, it also showed that Lu Luan did not really like such occasions.
Chi Zhihan stood up tactfully. "I'll go over there to get some fresh air and help you keep an eye out for people. If there's any movement, I'll cough twice."
"Okay, you can go back if you're cold. It's fine here."
"I'm not cold. I'm wearing other clothes under my dress."
Chi Zhihan winked at her and turned to lean against the railing. He did not deliberately look in Li Weixi's direction.
"Who is she?" Lu Luan asked softly.
"Chi Zhihan. I think you should have investigated me. You can trust my best friend."
