"My name is Xi Mengru, and you?" the girl asked Yang Feilong with a light and gentle smile.
"Yang Feilong."
"Yang Feilong? What's your profession?" Xi Mengru asked Yang Feilong curiously.
"Me? I'm a teacher," Yang Feilong took another sip of red wine and chuckled, "And you?"
"A teacher? An elementary school teacher who teaches children?" Xi Mengru covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm a piano teacher."
"Elementary school teacher?" Yang Feilong raised an eyebrow, "Are you looking down on me, a piano teacher?"
"No, no, I was just joking," Xi Mengru quickly said, "Are you a middle school or high school teacher then?"
"I'm a kindergarten teacher," Yang Feilong said seriously.
"Pfft!" Xi Mengru almost burst out laughing, her black-rimmed glasses nearly falling off. She pushed them up her nose, "Sorry, you're too funny. Seriously, what kind of teacher are you?"
Clearly, she could tell Yang Feilong was joking.
"A university teacher," Yang Feilong took another sip of red wine and said, "I must say, this red wine is quite good. You should try some too."
He poured a glass for Xi Mengru from the table beside them and handed it over.
"University teacher? You're already a university teacher at such a young age? A prodigy, or a genius?" Xi Mengru was quite surprised. This time, she realized Yang Feilong wasn't joking but stating a fact.
It was precisely because of this that she was so surprised. She took the red wine Yang Feilong handed her and said, "Thank you."
"I'm neither a prodigy nor a genius," Yang Feilong said with a faint smile. He raised his glass, "Just a normal person."
"Where do you teach at? That's not a good question. Which university in Lan Hai do you teach at?" Xi Mengru looked at Yang Feilong curiously. She took a small sip of the red wine, her delicate nose slightly furrowing, clearly not accustomed to drinking or rarely drinking, her expression somewhat cute.
"The most famous one for excavators," Yang Feilong quipped.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Pfft!
While Xi Mengru was wondering if she would get drunk if she swallowed the wine, she immediately couldn't help but spurt it out upon hearing his words, splashing all over Yang Feilong's pants.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Xi Mengru apologized, putting down her wine glass and taking out a wet wipe to dab at Yang Feilong's pants.
"It's fine, no need to wipe," Yang Feilong said helplessly. It was just an innocuous little joke, was it really worth laughing so hard? And you're wiping my pants, can you not wipe *there*!
"Why do you have a soft, big stick on you? Ah!" As soon as Xi Mengru finished speaking, her face instantly turned red. She was so startled that she immediately dodged to the side.
Although she rarely interacted with boys, in this modern society with such developed information, she might not have eaten pork, but she had certainly seen pigs run!
"Miss, there's no need for such a big reaction!" Yang Feilong said helplessly.
Anyone who didn't know would think he had done something to her.
"You, you, I, I..." At this moment, Xi Mengru was flustered. She wanted to wipe but dared not wipe Yang Feilong again. In that moment, she was completely panicked, and didn't even notice her black-rimmed glasses sliding down her nose.
Looking at Xi Mengru's embarrassed and bewildered appearance, Yang Feilong thought of a word to describe her: adorably naive.
What kind of girl is this? So innocent, and yet she just gives up like this?
Perhaps her father wanted to train her, which is why he brought her to such a banquet.
"Sit down, it's alright, it will dry soon," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"I'm truly sorry," Xi Mengru said with a blushing face, apologizing again.
"It's my fault too. I shouldn't have joked while you were drinking," Yang Feilong shrugged and said calmly.
Hearing Yang Feilong say this, Xi Mengru felt like laughing again. It was true, if this guy hadn't been so playful, she wouldn't have spurted out the wine. Of course, it was also her own fault; her threshold for laughter was too low, and she accidentally saw where she had just wiped, her cheeks turning red again. She shyly changed the subject, "So, what school do you teach at?"
"Lan Hai University," Yang Feilong said honestly this time, no longer joking.
"Lan Hai University?" Xi Mengru looked at Yang Feilong in surprise, "Are you that amazing? And you still say you're not a genius?"
To teach at Lan Hai University, one needed a very high degree.
"I was recruited because of my outstanding specialty," Yang Feilong shrugged.
"Specialty... outstanding?" Xi Mengru's face instantly turned red again. The thing she had just touched seemed to be indeed a specialty.
Seeing Xi Mengru's expression, Yang Feilong said speechlessly, "What are you thinking about again? I thought you were a pure young lady, but I didn't expect your thoughts to be so naughty."
"I'm not," Xi Mengru's retort lacked conviction, "It's you who didn't explain clearly."
"Is it my fault!" Yang Feilong had a playful smile on his lips.
Xi Mengru snorted.
"Oh my, Mengru has been looking for you for ages! Why are you here? Wow, your taste is really good, you actually found a handsome guy hiding here! Don't tell me you've taken a liking to this handsome guy?" Just then, a voice rang out. It was a woman dressed rather provocatively. She didn't look old, but she was very stylish. Her makeup was heavy, and her attire was quite luxurious. Visually, her outfit and accessories easily cost over a million.
Yang Feilong naturally noticed the woman's arrival. With her arrival, many people's gazes turned towards them, which made Yang Feilong quite helpless. Now, he probably wouldn't have any peace.
"Jin Qi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Xi Mengru's face turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed and annoyed, "He has a girlfriend. We were just chatting casually."
"Has a girlfriend? So what if he has a girlfriend? Our beautiful Xi is very pure, what man doesn't like that, right, handsome guy!" the woman named Jin Qi said, winking at Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong shrugged and smiled without saying a word.
"Bro, I didn't expect to see you again!" At this moment, a young man looked at Yang Feilong with surprise. The speaker was Chang Xinlei. He originally didn't want to greet him, because as soon as he saw Yang Feilong, he was reminded of the awkward encounter a few days ago.
"What a coincidence," Yang Feilong said with a faint smile.
"Brother Chang, you know this person too?" A man beside Chang Xinlei also looked extremely awkward. It was Xu Wa. He had also seen Yang Feilong just now, which made him shudder, remembering what had happened some time ago. Seeing Chang Xinlei greet Yang Feilong, he was somewhat surprised.
"We've met once," although Chang Xinlei was smiling, there was still a hint of awkwardness in his smile.
Others might not have thought of anything, but Xu Wa vaguely guessed that Chang Xinlei, like himself, might have fancied this guy's girlfriend and then been slapped in the face.
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed likely.
"What about you? How do you know him?" Chang Xinlei asked, noticing Xu Wa's unnatural expression.
"Uh, this..." Xu Wa hesitated to speak, beating around the bush.
Chang Xinlei's eyes flickered. So, they were somewhat in the same predicament?
Clearly, he had also thought of this possibility.
