Seeing the unpredictable look in Su Yueming's eyes, Xuanyuan Qilin felt inexplicably excited. He blinked his narrow eyes at her and said -
"I just love watching good shows. Change your clothes quickly, I can't wait any longer."
Xuanyuan Qilin looked at Su Yueming with an almost doting look. He had known for a long time that she was a piece of rough jade hidden in the corner, waiting for others to discover it. As long as she was carved, she could radiate a brilliance that would dazzle anyone.
But now, he suddenly had to dig out this piece of jade and put it in front of everyone, but his mood was complicated. He really wanted others to see her brilliance, but he also hoped that when her beauty bloomed, he would be the only one.
People appreciate it.
Su Baixi was enjoying everyone's jealousy and praise peacefully. She looked at the empty seat next to her. She asked her mother to leave it for Su Yueming. She just wanted Su Yueming to sit next to her and be her foil for everyone to see.
See what the difference between cloud and mud is.
Compared to Su Baixi's high spirits, Su Zicong beside him has been depressed since he entered the banquet. He lowered his head and drank wine. While drinking, he would scratch his arms, neck and back from time to time. Maybe he was anxious, but the more he scratched, the more itchy he became.
The more he wanted to catch her, the more irritable he became.
I don’t know what happened, but a few days ago, some red bumps suddenly appeared on his back. At first, they were just faint red spots. He didn’t pay attention to them, thinking they were accidentally bitten by mosquitoes.
But these red spots have grown bigger and bigger in the past two days, not only on my back, neck, and arms, but these red spots have signs of ulceration and are also accompanied by itching.
He asked Dr. Lin to take a look at him. Dr. Lin gave him a few pills and told him to take the medicine on time and avoid eating spicy food. However, he was very depressed and couldn't listen. He still drank every day.
.
He looked up and saw his father, Su Buqing, holding a wine glass, toasting and chatting with several princes, Prime Minister Zuo, and colleagues in the court. They were chatting and laughing. His left hand holding the wine glass trembled, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.
Usually, on such high-profile occasions, his father would keep him by his side and introduce him to these people.
But this year, he didn't call him at all, and the seat assigned to him was also far off.
His mind suddenly recalled what Su Yueming had said to him——
He is a useless person, and his father will no longer pay attention to him. Perhaps, his father will find a way to have another boy.
As I thought about it, I became more and more unwilling and irritable. As a result, my hand trembled and I couldn't hold the wine glass firmly. It fell to the ground with a bang and broke, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
Seeing Su Zicong's irritable and restless mood, Su Baixi bent down, stretched out her delicate hands to pick up his cup, and said -
"Second brother, I know you feel uncomfortable, but didn't mother tell you? Please be patient and wait quietly for the opportunity to come."
"Pah!" Su Zicong slapped his hand on the table and growled, "How long do you have to wait?"
Seeing that Su Zicong was getting irritable, Su Baixi hurriedly took his hand and said, "Second brother, everyone who should be there tonight is here. You must not cause any trouble."
Su Baixi actually wanted Su Zicong to embarrass Su Yueming on such an occasion and prevent her from getting off the stage. However, she was afraid that she would be implicated, so she had to persuade Su Zicong not to be impulsive.
