The voices of voices on the balcony only fell silent for a moment, and then became alive again immediately.

It's just that the two hugging by the door are still the center of attention of many people.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came?" Yu Yicheng ignored other people's curious eyes, and even kissed his forehead very long—just like when they were alone at home, "I was just going to pick you up."

"How did you know I'm coming?" Xie Qi was not so bold, but supported him with both hands, and opened a little distance, "Did the guard just notify you?"

The security guards outside had already recognized him before he handed over the invitation code.

It was indeed beyond his expectation.

"Well," Yu Yicheng responded nonchalantly, and told him casually, "This is one of our properties—you and I will go with me in a few days and record the facial recognition in the suburbs."

"Your property." Xie Qi emphasized, "It's not mine."

"Is there a difference?"

Yu Yicheng was noncommittal, and led him to the crowded place.

Xie Qi didn't talk anymore, but just followed him, smiling lightly along the way, and greeting Yu Yicheng's old friends.

Passing the corridor bridge, he suddenly slowed down, and immediately took the initiative to make the hands of the two people intertwined.

—mainly because he saw some people he didn't really want to see.

...It seems to be called Lin Lin, right?

He recognized Lin Xuan's cousin from a distance.

Although he is good at dealing with strangers, he basically doesn't care about others—that is, he will warm up and remember their information when necessary.

This time, looking at the figure from a distance, he inexplicably and immediately had some kind of subtle cognition.

He was not wrong.

The person in the long skirt looked at them from a distance, and immediately greeted them with a smile—well, he had forgotten the embarrassment of that day:

"Everyone is waiting for you."

Lin Lin took it upon herself to walk beside the two of them, gracefully.

Yu Yi accepted her without saying anything.

Just now along the way, Xie Qi can already see the distance of their relationship from Yu Yicheng's greetings to others.

This Miss Lin obviously doesn't actually know her boyfriend well.

But she still approached affectionately, followed the same pattern, and gave Xie Qi a gentle glance:

"Just now when Xuanxuan saw you, he went to the small cubicle by himself. It shouldn't be a problem for him to come over now, right? ——Wouldn't it be possible for him to stay in the small room all day?"

These words were said looking at Yu Yicheng, but both inside and outside the words pointed to Xie Qi.

The smile on the young man's face really faded in an instant.

Yu Yicheng remained calm, and tightened Xie Qi's withdrawn hand:

"Let him go."

After a while, he added: "It has nothing to do with us."

Lin Lin hit a soft nail.

But she didn't realize it, and immediately called Lin Xuan out.

The two sat together in front of the glass table, and Lin Xuan also sat opposite them.

There was a noticeable silence at the table.

Xie Qi looked up at Lin Xuan.

This person is dressed very lightly today, plain white, light-colored clothes, and no blood on his face.

On the contrary, he seemed to be dressed up seriously, and he was too bright, a bit stinging.

"Brother Yu and sister-in-law are here."

There was only a moment of silence, and a crystal and beautiful wine glass was suddenly brought to Xie Qi.

The person who handed him the wine was the person who asked him to pick up Yu Yicheng last time, and his surname seemed to be Gu.

He stretched out his hand, but before he could take it, the wine glass was taken by Yu Yicheng:

"He drank less, and I drank for him."

The people around the round table immediately took up the conversation and made fun of it, it was nothing more than Yu Yicheng's protector was so tight.

The silence just now was revealed tacitly, as if it never happened at all.

Xie Qi tilted his head and watched the clear yellow wine flow from the cup to Yu Yicheng's mouth, feeling a little dazed for a while.

At least before today, he had never seen Yu Yicheng like this.

Talking and laughing, drinking, like a fish in water, with a light smile, but also like a spring breeze.

It's as if he can touch Yu Yicheng's past time by following him.

Of course, these can't get around the people present, including Lin Xuan.

They began to play some childish drinking games, spinning the roulette, throwing dice, and the liquor was pumped on the ground and poured out like smoke and mist from the steamer-like pot in front of the table.

Yu Yicheng's friends toasted Xie Qi one by one, saying that new friends had to take turns drinking.

Of course, none of the wine fell into Yu Yicheng's mouth.

"No way - I just put a drop of wine in the water, brother Yu wants to drink it for sister-in-law?"

Start booing all around.

"I can drink it," Xie Qi immediately put his hand on Yu Yicheng's wrist, his eyes seemed to be stained with the rippling light, and his voice was full of tenderness that everyone present could hear, complaining half-truthfully, "Drink so What are you doing so much? Can you bear it?"

Lin Xuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke suddenly:

"It's nothing to Yicheng—he drank twice as much at one time six years ago, right?"

There was no one to answer the question for a moment.

Xie Qi's voice was very clear:

"Drink and go home and no one will make you hangover soup."

Yu Yicheng's face was only reddish, as if he didn't hear what others said, he just stared at Xie Qi, half-responsive, and then raised his glass to the person next to him:

"Did you hear that? Everyone, stop toasting, or Qiqi will go back and ignore me."

Someone here responded immediately.

Over there, the wine jar will be passed to Lin Xuan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the person carrying the wine jar was stunned for a moment—but the wine jar had already escaped from his hand to Lin Xuan's palm.

"Then let's play something new."

Lin Xuan spoke again, as if he wanted to peacefully expose this issue.

The stagnant air began to flow again.

"I've played the drinking order, what else is there to play?" The person surnamed Gu sounded like he was on a whim, "Truth or dare?"

"It's such an old thing." The people next to him immediately giggled:

"Brother Gu, you haven't graduated yet, and you're still playing these kid tricks."

"Very good," Lin Xuan became interested, "Isn't there still a card made before here?"

Probably because he consciously ignored Lin Xuan a lot, now that he brought it up, many people agreed with him.

Soon a glass jar was delivered.

This jar is not big, but the carvings are extremely delicate, and even inlaid with some bright gemstones.

Inside are small cubes, which are also transparent, but there are golden fonts floating inside.

This is probably the "card" that Lin Xuan said.

"Have you all played like this before?"

The crowd was noisy, Xie Qi asked Yu Yicheng in a low voice.

"I will play a little at group gatherings." Yu Yicheng also leaned into his ear, "We ordered this at the time, and everyone brought a few sets back to China when they were on vacation."

Then it was placed in this villa, and it has been kept until now. Someone wipes and cleans it every month, just waiting for the occasional day that it may continue to come in handy.

For example today's party.

After Yu Yicheng finished speaking, he was too busy to start Zhang Luo's game, and he didn't notice Xie Qi's opened and closed lips for a while.

In fact, what he wanted to ask just now was...

Did you block wine for Lin Xuan like this before?

But the transparent jar had already been placed in the center of the table, so he couldn't ask this question.

In fact, there should be no need to ask.

People like him must have been very kind to Lin Xuan back then.

Fortunately, after so many years, Lin Xuan is still eager to move, doing some small tricks.

Unlike his previous life, after his first love, the term love became his forbidden area, and he didn't even want to touch it.

… After a person slowly struggles out, he even moves to settle in another city.

The man in his memory had been deliberately turned into a vague outline by him.

Even if he later received letters from the address he remembered in his heart, he just closed his eyes and threw them away, even the decorations on the envelope made him feel dazzling.

Unlike Lin Xuan, he can still sit so freely opposite Yu Yicheng, without hiding his hidden nostalgic gaze.

Yu Yicheng is probably really a good boyfriend, whether it is now or in the past.

He looked down at the table, and was shocked when he was kissed on the cheek.

Then he noticed that everyone at the table was looking at him.

"Why are you in a daze?" Yu Yicheng straightened his hair for him, "It's our turn."

"That doesn't count - my sister-in-law didn't respond, what a big adventure!"

"That's right, this is too watery - do it all over again!"

Yu Yicheng looked at him helplessly, and had no choice but to answer.

"I'll smoke for you."

Lin Xuan was already standing on the main seat, with hazy eyes, staring at Yu Yicheng for a moment.

But just now he had smoked for someone else, which is against the rules.

Immediately, someone stretched out his hand to indicate that he would smoke,

However, Lin Xuan acted as if he didn't hear it, and just played a small card on his own, and spread it in front of Yu Yicheng.

What he draws out is not a big adventure, but the truth.

Xie Qi saw it clearly.

The small print on it reads: "Why did you break up with your first love?"

He wasn't the only one who could see clearly, everyone around Yu Yicheng fell silent.

Yu Yicheng's voice faded: "It's an old story, there's nothing to say."

"That's right, let's not talk about the past today."

"Drink and drink..."

Various voices echoed his words, and the atmosphere of the meeting warmed up for a while, but Lin Xuan's raised voice was like a sword cutting through this harmony:

"Is there anything you can't say?"

"There's nothing to say."

Xie Qi's calm voice came suddenly, and one hand had already snatched the wine glass from Yu Yicheng's hand:

"Just now I was distracted and asked him to start again. I will answer this question."

Without waiting for others to react, the clear yellow wine in the glass was quickly emptied.

The young man who drank them held his slightly flushed cheeks with one hand, and smiled lazily:

"It's just a cliche story. My first love cheated on my old lover, so I broke up with him."

The people present looked different.

"Oh, by the way," he seemed to have just remembered this person, "it's not Shao Lian, he's not that bad."

He suddenly remembered that the people here probably knew that there were quite a few people in the past between Yuan Shen and Shao Lian.

... After saying this, the banquet became even quieter.

"I'm a little drunk." Xie Qi flicked the small card on the table, and heard a crisp crash, "I'll go out first..."

"We're going back first."

Yu Yicheng grabbed his wrist, without hiding his cold expression:

"You guys continue."

Vehicles gallop in the afternoon sun.

They called the driver to take him off. The two sat on one side. Xie Qi leaned against the window and did not speak to him.

He felt that the alcohol in that glass of wine might be higher than he expected.

"I knew I shouldn't have come here."

"It's nothing." Yu Yicheng looked at him, as if he still wanted to hold his hand, "They really want to know you."

"what?"

Xie Qi felt a little dizzy, and didn't even know what he was talking about:

"Can't you not be in the same room with him?"

"The place where I can meet him is at work or at a party..." Yu Yicheng's voice was also slightly depressed, "It's always a lot of people together... I thought there would be no problem."

"There will be no problem," Xie Qi chewed on these words, and then spit them out, "Is it me who has the problem?"

"No, Qiqi—"

The car just stopped, and Xie Qi walked away.
