Duan Xu took it, scooped out a spoonful, and smiled, "It's really delicious."
"Let me have a taste?" Shen Yanlang lowered his head slightly, and Duan Xu scooped a spoonful for him, using the same spoon.
The group kept exclaiming "Oh!" and "Eh!" for a while, making Duan Xu feel embarrassed. "You guys have done that before too..."
"Yes!" Zhou Zhou was as relaxed as ever, and he glanced at Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu immediately understood, then got up and went to get a cake, and then performed a demonstration of sharing a single spoon to eat the cake.
Seeing this, Du Shen's strange competitive spirit flared up. "Hey, do you think I'm single? Come on, Xiaoyu, let me feed you."
"Get away from me!" Ye Xinyu didn't cooperate; in fact, she seemed a little disgusted.
Du Shen immediately deflated, "Xiaoyu, don't you love me anymore?"
Ye Xinyu: "..."
"Haha..." Duan Xu and Zhou Zhou couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At the same time, Xue Jingshu silently picked up the cake, scooped out a spoonful, and handed it to Han Xi, asking, "Want some?"
Han Xi glanced at him, a faint smile in his eyes, then lowered his head to eat, saying, "It tastes good."
Xue Jingshu smiled slightly, took a spoonful, and said, "It's quite sweet."
"Xiaoyu, look, we're the only ones left. Come on, come on, let me feed you." Seeing that Xue Jingshu and Han Xi had also eaten, Du Shen wanted to feed Ye Xinyu even more.
Ye Xinyu remained dismissive, but Du Shen kept pestering her, which made the group laugh continuously.
Shen Yanlang added sarcastically, "Du Shen, you're no good."
"Ha ha..."
Du Shen gritted his teeth, then turned to look at Ye Xinyu with a pitiful expression, "Xiaoyu, they're all bullying me."
He has a rather fierce appearance, and it looks somewhat comical when he makes a pitiful expression.
Ye Xinyu was amused by his expression, but after all, he was her boyfriend and she felt sorry for him, so she cooperated and ate the cake with him. Du Shen was immediately happy.
My Xuxu is still the best.
Shen Yanlang took a sip of champagne and glanced sideways at Duan Xu.
Duan Xu looked at him too, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.
Not far from them, Hu Yanxin watched them laughing and joking, feeling resentful, especially when she saw Shen Yanlang and Duan Xu exchanging smiles, which was particularly irritating.
Her friend looked on with envy, and she couldn't help but sigh, "They have such a good relationship! Wow, eight people, four couples, wow!"
Hu Yanxin snorted coldly, even more unhappy than before.
Her friend glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and didn't try to persuade her further.
Zhou Zhou also saw Hu Yanxin and immediately remembered what had just happened. "Yan-ge, do you know that person?"
Following Zhou Zhou's gaze, he saw Hu Yanxin in a beige dress. He frowned slightly. "I know her."
"What's wrong?" Xue Jingshu and the others were also acquaintances.
Zhou Zhou said, "When Yan-ge and Xuxu came in just now, Xu-ge and I were standing behind her. I think she likes Yan-ge. She said she would still have a chance after you two break up, and she was secretly cursing you two to break up soon."
"What the hell!" Ye Xinyu exclaimed angrily. "If she dares to curse me, I'll curse her to never find an alpha in her entire life!"
Xue Jingshu and Han Xi only knew each other but didn't understand her, so they didn't speak for the time being.
Du Shen knew about Hu Yanxin confessing her feelings to Shen Yanlang. "Xiao Xu, Yan-ge rejected her outright back then, very decisively."
Upon hearing this, Duan Xu looked at Shen Yanlang, Shen Yanlang spoke first before he could, "What he said is true. I refused, but I didn't know that even after so much time, she still hadn't given up."
"Oh, I know, you don't need to be nervous." Duan Xu patted Shen Yanlang's hand.
In the original novel, Shen Yanlang and Han Xi were each other's first love, so they definitely hadn't liked anyone before.
Shen Yanlang chuckled lightly, "I'm not nervous."
Aren't you jealous?
Duan Xu blinked at him and said, "You don't like her anyway."
There's no need to be jealous, but...
Shen Yanlang raised an eyebrow.
[Xuxu, I hope you're jealous.]
Perhaps it was the alpha's possessiveness at Duan Xu, but Duan Xu would get jealous whenever he knew someone liked him, even if that person hadn't done anything and was just silently liking him.
Duan Xu: "..."
Knowing that many people like Shen Yanlang, he was able to accept it and didn't think much of it. However, when the person he liked became specific and had excellent qualities, even if he was rationally open-minded, he would still feel unhappy emotionally.
So, he was actually jealous, just not obviously so.
"What are you two talking about?" Du Shen had been watching them stare at each other for a long time, and Shen Yanlang hadn't said anything, only Duan Xu had.
Zhou Zhou and the others saw it too. Ye Xinyu patted Du Shen and said, "They're gazing at each other with deep affection."
Du Shen: "..."
Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang simultaneously looked away. Shen Yanlang then said calmly, "Ignore her. She can't do anything."
"You seem to know her quite well, huh?" Duan Xu said casually.
Shen Yanlang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, leaned closer and whispered, "Xuxu, you're jealous."
"I'm very happy."
Upon hearing this, Duan Xu touched his ear, then pushed him away, saying, "Don't talk in my ear."
Shen Yanlang smiled and stepped back a little, about to say something more, when Shen Guofeng came over.
"Little Yan, Xuxu," Shen Guofeng said, holding a glass of champagne, "Come here, I'll introduce you to some people."
"Okay." Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang stood up, greeted Zhou Zhou and the others, and then followed.
A little while later, Xue Jingshu took Han Xi to identify people, and Du Shen and Ye Xinyu were also taken by their parents to identify people, leaving only Zhou Zhou and Xiao Xu.
"We're the ones who have it easy." Zhou Zhou glanced around, and when no one was paying attention to them, he kissed Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu covered his face and chuckled foolishly, "Hehe..."
*
Duan Xu got to know many uncles and aunts through Shen Guofeng, and he greeted each one politely, but after going around in circles, he didn't really remember many of them.
After it was finally over, Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang were allowed to play by themselves, but Shen Yanlang didn't take him to find Zhou Zhou and the others. Instead, he headed towards the lounge.
"Wait, let's go to the restroom first." Duan Xu pulled the person towards the restroom.
Shen Yanlang stared at Duan Xu's cheeks, which were slightly flushed, and couldn't help but ask, "Xuxu, are you drunk?"
"It seems so." Duan Xu leaned closer to Shen Yanlang. Everyone takes a sip when recognizing someone, but he only took a little. However, with so many people around, it gradually became more than he expected. "I feel a little dizzy."
Shen Yanlang chuckled softly, putting his arm around his waist to steady him. "Don't drink next time."
"No." Duan Xu shook his head slightly, "On happy occasions, we still need to have a drink; that's what makes it feel better."
"Okay, have a drink." Shen Yanlang replied, and took him to the restroom.
"Can you manage by yourself?" He couldn't go into the restroom with Duan Xu, otherwise he'd really be considered a hooligan.
