The ruined party

  It just so happened that this scene was seen by another young man who was about to enter, without missing a single detail. The whites of the young man's eyes were filled with bloodshot, looking like a wild beast that couldn't get food, his clenched fists making "ka-ba ka-ba" sounds.

  Alan hurried over from behind her, and she coughed awkwardly.

  Tian Tian heard the voice behind her, struggled to get up, and saw Alan with a blush on his face and Zong Zhongyan with anger in his eyes. She had no choice but to pretend that nothing was wrong, the flush on her face still not gone, but she feigned calmness, "Is there something, Ah Yan?"

  Xu Yitian also sat up, buttoning a white shirt that was unbuttoned, covering part of his beautiful and slender collarbone, smiling at Zong Zhong.

  "For you, there's nothing either. It's just that, looking at it now, I've ruined your good thing, sorry for the trouble." Zong Zhong said stiffly, expressionless, only with a more striking redness in his eyes.

  "What's wrong with you, Ah Yan?" Tian Tian asked, biting her lip.

  "Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'm inviting you personally." Zhong Zhong said with a cold smile.

  Tian Tian lowered her head, with some shame in her eyes, and said, "I'll go."

  "Hmm," Zong Zhonglian didn't want to say much either, and turned to Xu Yitian, "You'd better have time, come together."

  Xu Yitian nodded, "If Xiaotianyou goes, you won't invite me, I will also go."

  Zong Zhong curled up the corners of his mouth and pulled a little, "Goodbye." Without waiting for Tian Tian to see him off, he walked out by himself.

  So soon they're living together? Xiao Tian? Calling each other such intimate names? Zong Zhonglian, how could you be so incompetent? You've known that girl for so long and still can't compare to this boy's few months! Aren't you taller than him? More handsome? Don't you have more money and power? No, in what way are you inferior to him? Why is Tian Tian still with him?! Heaven, how unfair it is!

  He walked on the road, yellow leaves like dry leaf butterflies, spinning and falling.

  Maple Street was full of withered fallen leaves, and his mood was even cooler than the season.

  Tears just fell like that, cold, a bit salty, and somewhat bitter. I've already forgotten how long it's been since I last cried. This kind of futility is really heartbreaking.

  Tian Tian gazed at the receding figure of Zong Zhong, let out a soft sigh, and lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covering her eyes.

  Xu Yi Tian couldn't see her expression clearly, "If you don't like him, then don't give him too many possibilities, time will heal his wounds."

  "I always feel like I owe him a lot, he's helped me so much..."

  "You'll always come back, won't you?" Xǔ Yìtiān patted her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.

  Tian Tian smiled wryly and nodded.

  "It's cool outside, let's go back." After finishing speaking, Xu Yitian put his arm around Tian Tian and walked towards the Tian family.

  It was a grand party, and apart from Zhong Zhonglian's classmates, there were more people who wanted to get close to the city mayor. They wore bright and beautiful clothes, elegantly holding high-heeled cups and chatting with Rong Hongqing, "Ah Nian has grown taller again."

  "Like father, like son! Ah Yan will surely surpass you in the future!"

  "Ah Yan, happy birthday! Take this!" A not-so-familiar person stuffed a bank card into his pocket and smiled fawningly. Ah Yan smiled politely in response.

  "Happy birthday, Ah Yan gege." The girl stood on tiptoes and lightly kissed his left cheek. The little girl in a white sundress, with a shy face, was Wei Chuan.

  "Naughty again," Zhong Zhong was startled by the sudden kiss, but he couldn't help but spoil her and shook his head indulgently.

  "What is Brother Ah Yan always looking at outside the door? Is there something good to see?" Wei Chang looked out the door, but didn't see anything new.

  "Nothing... nothing," Zong Zhong said with some disappointment as he turned his head to her, "Come on, brother will take you to eat something delicious."

  "Good," Wei Chang nodded obediently.

  At this moment, a silver Ferrari slowed down and stopped in front of the Zong's house, its bright headlights shining on the small fountain in front of the door.

  Xu Yi Tian wore a pure black windbreaker, making him appear tall and slender. His skin was even whiter, his sharp jawline more angular, his bright red lips slightly pursed, his sapphire blue eyes narrowed lightly, with a warm gentle smile.

  Of course, while people pay attention to him, they will not forget the woman who is holding his arm. The woman is also wearing a black long dress, with thick and shiny long hair down her back. Her almond eyes are charming, her nose is high and straight, her cherry lips are tender and luscious, and between her two lovely collarbones hangs a teardrop-shaped silver pendant.

  His heart seemed to have been poked by something, but he had to force himself to walk up and say gentlemanly, "Welcome."

  "Ah, a gift for you," Tian Tian said with some embarrassment as she pulled out a beautifully wrapped small red box from her bag and handed it to Zong Zhong Yan, "It's not anything expensive, but I guess you wouldn't be lacking those things anyway."

  "Thank you," Zong Zhong smiled, "come in." He said, and welcomed the two of them in.

  Wei Chang naturally also saw the dazzling duo, bouncing and jumping over, holding onto Zong Zhonglian's arm, smiling and saying "Tian Tian Jie came ah!"

  Tian Tian smiled lightly and nodded.

  "If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to come here, after all, I've accepted too many favors from Brother Ahn," Wei Chuan swirled the liquor in his high-footed cup and downed it in one gulp.

  Tian Tian still smiled, her tone gentle, "So, I should come and thank him, shouldn't I?"

  Wei Chang pouted, but couldn't think of anything to retort with, and sullenly followed Zong Zhong to go eat somewhere else.

  The entire venue was surrounded by a ring of food, with a red carpet in the middle. In front of the house, there was a bright lamp that shone on everyone's body, emitting white and soft light.

  Xu Yitian pulled Tian Tian along, holding a plate in his other hand, saying, "Look at these things, they're quite delicious, eat more."

  Tian Tian looked at his childish appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay," she said, picking up a small pastry and putting it on his plate, "Try some."

  Watching Xǔ Yì Tiān eating with a full mouth, she suddenly felt very happy. She casually wiped away the crumbs from his mouth and looked at Xǔ Yì Tiān's sparkling blue eyes as he smiled foolishly. In a soft voice, she asked, "Do you think Zhōng Zhǎn will like the little turtle I'm going to give him?"

  "Should be okay," said Xu Yitian, chewing his food, "if I were him, I'd definitely like it."

  "Why?"

  "It's only what you've sent that is alive and can move!"

  "Then on your birthday, I'll give you a little turtle too," Tian Tian said.

  "I won't," said Xu Yitian resolutely.

  "Huh?"

  "You've given all of them to Zong Zhonglian, I need a special one, something that's one-of-a-kind."

  Tian Tian helplessly shook her head, "Okay." Then, she glanced around and saw Su Yu, Peng Si Ze and others. Zong Zhong had invited all his middle school classmates, so naturally these two people were also there.

  Su Yu had also seen them a long time ago. Tian Tian pulled Xu Yi Tian over and said, "Su Yu, it's been a while."

  Su Yu didn't look at Tian Tian, but instead checked out the handsome young man standing next to her and sighed, "Wow, Tian Tian, Chinese men can't satisfy your needs anymore, huh? You've even hooked up with this rare foreign hunk, not bad."

  Tian Tian didn't say a word, just smiled faintly, already used to this girl's three-point family talk and seven-point sarcastic conversation style.

  However, Xǔ Yìtiān next to him seemed not as used to Tián Tián's usual behavior. His pale blue eyes suddenly turned cold, and he put the plate on the table beside him, sneering, "How come you can't even hook up with one? If you don't have that skill, then don't make sarcastic remarks, lest you annoy people further."

  This remark made Su Yu immediately blush with embarrassment. She "ah" for half a day, but couldn't say anything, and finally shouted, "For goodness' sake!"

  At this time, Peng Sze glanced over and saw that something was amiss, so he slowly walked over. He now had a height of 178cm, wearing a suit with his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of elegance. The youth's eyebrows seemed even more intelligent and calm.

  Since the Tonglin Mountain incident, he had not contacted Tian Tian again. At this time, his gaze swept across Xu Yitian and fixed on Tian Tian, opening his mouth, "You're even more beautiful, but next time you appear, can you please not cause any trouble? You know that whenever you appear, there's a smell of gunpowder everywhere." The young man finished speaking, looked at Tian Tian seriously, and pulled Su Yu to the other side to chat with old classmates.

  Xu Yi Tian looked at Tian Tian's stiff expression with a bewildered gaze and asked, "Who is he?"

  Tian Tian sighed and made a helpless expression. "Peng Sze, we can be considered acquaintances, but there have been too many unpleasant things between us."

  Xu Yitian nodded, "Oh" and let go of Tian Tian's hand, taking big strides forward. He flexed his fingers and in a loud, slightly awkward Mandarin accent, called out, "Peng Sizhe!"

  Peng Sze turned his head and gazed at him lightly.

  Xu Yitian rounded his fist and punched Peng Sizhe in the face, knocking him to the ground. He pressed his knee into Peng's abdomen and rained punches down on him, sneering coldly, "Let me tell you, Tian Tian is mine, I don't even dare to hit or scold her, what makes you think you can just open your mouth and scold her? Just because this is the mayor's house, you think I won't dare touch you? Even if it were the White House, I'd still beat you up!"

  After that, Xu Yitian clapped his hands and pulled Tian Tian away, passing by the stunned audience, calmly saying, "Let's go, this kind of party is not worth attending."

  After finishing speaking, the two of them got into a Ferrari and drove away with ease.

  Peng Sze wiped the fresh blood from his mouth and struggled to get up from the ground. Su Yu wanted to help him, but the young man angrily said, "Get away, don't touch me!"

  It was as if it was the first time he had seen that arrogant and handsome young man, his anger made his heart skip a beat. But why did he still have an inexplicable sense of familiarity...
