"I knew your Yangyang was a blessed child." An old neighbor who had known the Feng Family for over twenty years smiled nostalgically. "I remember he had just turned one, right? You two brought him home for the New Year. That child was so fair and chubby, he was even a whole size bigger than my twenty-six-month-old grandson. I said then that he had the face of someone destined for wealth. And he especially brought prosperity to his parents. Sure enough, ever since he was born, your business has grown bigger and bigger. And now you've even connected with Yin Corporation?"
Several business partners close to Father Feng also smiled and flattered him. "Yin Corporation is no ordinary company! If Boss Feng rises to great heights in the future, don't forget us old friends."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the banquet, the towering six-foot-three Yin Li obediently followed behind Feng Yang. "Are these all your classmates?"
"Mm!" Feng Yang seemed a little distracted. "Some are middle school classmates, and some are high school classmates."
For some reason, Feng Yang had been feeling unsettled.
Seeing this, Yin Li stretched out an arm and hooked it around Feng Yang's shoulders, his smile brilliant. "Introduce your classmates to me."
"Later, I'll introduce you to my childhood friends too." Yin Li pointed back at the group behind him, looking immensely proud. "They all admire you."
"Yes, yes, yes! We all admire Master Feng. Um, Master Feng, when you have time, could you help us drive away some ghosts?"
"Especially me!" Duan Mingxu said miserably. "I don't want to hook up with a female ghost! She's way too terrifying!"
So if she were pretty, you'd actually consider it?
Feng Yang was momentarily speechless. His classmates were also thoroughly confused, unable to understand what joke everyone was talking about.
"Feng Yang, your friend is pretty funny," someone said with a laugh.
Yin Li puffed out his chest, looking absurdly proud. His big tail was practically spinning like a propeller! He also thought he was humorous and approachable—the perfect match for Feng Yang!
Feng Yang smiled and casually asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Not really." Yin Li curled his lips with faint distaste. "I ate on the plane."
"Then how about I make sweet and sour pork for you tonight?" Thinking of something the Vengeful Ghost had never forgotten and had always regretted in his previous life, Feng Yang said with a smile, "Tell me anything you want to eat."
Yin Li's eyes lit up. "You can cook too?"
"Yes." Feng Yang nodded. He had honed his cooking skills in his previous life. Unfortunately, the living and the dead walked different paths, and the Vengeful Ghost had never been able to eat the food he made. Now that he had been reborn, he hoped Yin Li's presence could make up for that regret.
Feng Yang was willing to cook for me!
Yin Li grinned foolishly, flashing a row of white teeth. He always felt that his Feng Yang must like him too.
"Then just make whatever you want. I'll eat anything you make." After a pause, Yin Li added, "I can't cook, but I'll work hard to learn."
Yin Li felt this was something he needed to put on the agenda. He would first learn two signature dishes. Once Feng Yang went to Beijing for school, he could invite Feng Yang to his apartment and cook for him himself.
Yin Li's thoughts were practically written all over his face. Feng Yang could not help curling his lips. It was hard to imagine a Vengeful Ghost huddled in a kitchen, washing vegetables and cooking.
When Su Nan entered the banquet hall, this was the scene he saw.
The six-foot-three Yin Li and the six-foot-one Feng Yang were gazing into each other's eyes. With their perfect height difference, the atmosphere between them was so harmonious that outsiders simply could not wedge themselves in.
Su Nan's expression darkened as he walked straight up to Feng Yang. "Is this a new friend of yours? Why aren't you introducing him to everyone?"
Feng Yang came back to himself and frowned imperceptibly.
So that was what he had forgotten. He had forgotten about Su Nan.
"This is Yin Li," Feng Yang said blandly.
"Oh, the brother of that young lady from the Yin family you saved." Su Nan gave a mocking laugh and deliberately showed off his new look in front of Feng Yang. "Come to think of it, you're her lifesaver. Her brother came to your graduation banquet, so why didn't she come in person to thank you?"
Yin Li frowned and glanced at Su Nan, who was dressed in an exceptionally polished and fashionable manner, carrying himself like a peacock with its tail spread. "My sister wanted to come with me. But the elders at home are getting on in years, and this incident frightened them badly. They refused to let her leave the house."
Yin Li then explained to Feng Yang, "But Qingqing prepared a graduation gift for you and specifically asked me to pass it along. Also, once you get to Beijing, she'll definitely take you around properly. She's already planning sightseeing routes at home."
Feng Yang smiled. "Qingqing just went through something like that. Of course your elders are worried. It's better for her to stay home. And not just her—you shouldn't run around either. Especially don't casually shake off your bodyguards. Rich kids like you are easily targeted."
Noticing Feng Yang's concern, Yin Li chuckled twice.
Standing nearby, Su Nan keenly noticed Feng Yang's concern for Yin Li. His expression shifted slightly.
Chapter 24
Su Nan did not know what was wrong with him either. Back at the hospital, he had clearly made up his mind to go their separate ways. In this new life, he would never waste time on this scumbag again.
Yet whenever Su Nan saw videos online of Feng Yang saving people again and again, the resentment and unwillingness that had piled up in his heart surged forth once more. If Feng Yang was such a kind and passionate person, why had he kicked Su Nan when he was down and stood by while he died? He had clearly promised to take care of him for the rest of his life, so why had he broken that promise? Why had he married another woman?
At first, Su Nan thought Feng Yang was bisexual and had chosen to marry a woman because of social pressure. So when Su Nan saw the video of Feng Yang saving Yin Qing, his first reaction was that Feng Yang was making a move on Yin Qing. But when Su Nan noticed the way Feng Yang looked at Yin Li, he immediately realized that Feng Yang still liked men.
