"Old Liu, here's the Golden Wine you've been dreaming about. Come on, let me fill your glass!"
"Hahaha! I knew you loved this, Old Sun. I had Second Brother kill a fresh Eighth Order Illusion Armor Fish just for you!"
"Old Zhang, what are you looking at? Oh, my eldest grandson? There he is—the handsomest one in the crowd! Hahaha!"
Old Master Xuanyuan's hearty laughter could be heard across nearly the entire open-air banquet.
And as he laughed, Su Ye felt as if... practically everyone was staring at him.
Awkward.
Painfully awkward.
He never should have stayed.
Su Ye took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes.
As long as I don't make eye contact, no one will know I'm Su Ye.
Just then—
"Little cousin, what's wrong? Sleepy?"
A large hand smacked Su Ye's shoulder. The force was light, but the damage was immense.
"Come on, I've got something that'll wake you right up! Fangfei, Su Ye's over here!"
Whoosh!
The gazes turned toward him grew even more intense.
Su Ye: ...
Xuanyuan Shisi slung an affectionate arm around Su Ye's shoulders, his voice smug.
"Little cousin, don't say I never looked out for you. Zhang Fangfei is the prettiest girl in our circle, and her Talent goes without saying—even I'm a little behind her. More importantly, she's a Face-con! When she was seven or eight, she swore she'd only date a guy better-looking than herself. All these years later, she's still single and hasn't even had a first love."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Shisi nudged Su Ye's shoulder. Meeting Su Ye's bewildered gaze, he raised his brows triumphantly.
"Don't you get it, little cousin? Zhang Fangfei hasn't found a boyfriend because she's never met you! Go for it!"
Su Ye: ...
What was he even talking about?!
