A Bittersweet Dinner Gathering

  Wang Ao Xuan put down the phone in his hand, his mind a complete blank. The thing he had been worried about had still happened. They lay quietly on the sofa, looking at Wang Ao Xuan, staring at him. Wang Ao Xuan didn't say a word, didn't give them a glance, just lay there quietly, occasionally glancing out the window. In the season when winter leaves fell, it seemed as if several more sorrows had been added.

  "Why don't I go buy some vegetables now and we can have a meal together, drink a few cups?" Wang Ao Xuan suddenly said.

  "Enough, Aron, go buy some groceries. Get more white wine. And you, Ah Xuan, don't think about it anymore. Since things have happened, we shouldn't let one person take risks alone. We should discuss and come up with a solution together. If you still want to take risks alone, it means that in your heart, there's no place for us brothers, and you're disregarding the oath of brotherhood."

  Fang Hang echoed in agreement: "Xian Jun is right. I think we should work together to find a solution."

  They spoke one by one, Wang Ao Xuan smiled and listened, but he was uneasy in his heart. He didn't know what the other party's intentions were, and at this time, he was even more afraid that Peng Hao would suffer at their hands. Wang Ao Xuan felt anxious in his heart, unknowingly feeling a sourness inside, and his own affairs had actually implicated his brother. Wang Ao Xuan punched his chest with his fist.

  This move shocked everyone, and they all stopped him. Everyone started scolding Wang Ao Xuan, and the six sisters were stunned. Perhaps in their eyes, Wang Ao Xuan was someone who would never fall, and nothing could ever defeat him. At this time, cold beauty Wan Meng Huan walked to Wang Ao Xuan's side and said gently for the first time: "I believe in you, and I also believe that you can solve it well. We all have confidence in you. I hope you take care of yourself and have confidence in yourself."

  Wang Ao Xuan stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on her as he smiled: "Heaven wants to destroy them, they must first be driven mad. Even if they have all the advantages of heaven, earth, man and harmony, I will still reduce them to nothing but dust. The poorest can only beg for food, but as long as one doesn't die, there's always a chance to rise again." Wang Ao Xuan clenched his fists, his cold-blooded gaze sweeping over each and every one of them.

  Wait for Wang Ao Xuan to calm down, let everyone sit down. They all looked at Wang Ao Xuan, as if waiting for him to confess. Wang Ao Xuan guessed their minds, but couldn't see through himself. He was also confused about what to do, whether he should take them with him or go alone.

  Before long, Ao Lun had bought vegetables and wine. They didn't say a word, just kept going to the kitchen to help with cooking. Perhaps at this moment no one wanted to face this fact. But they couldn't help but face it, hoping that time would slow down. As the dishes were slowly placed on the table, Wang Ao Xuan smiled at them.

  "It smells so good! Actually, all six of you are good girls and will definitely become virtuous wives and mothers in the future." Wang Ao Xuan said with a smile.

  "Go away! Who wants to be a good wife and mother? We won't live for you stinky men, we will live for ourselves." Hu Jing said with a sneer.

  "Sister, don't be angry with me now. I'm going to say something you might not want to hear: Chen Jia is really not suitable for you. Don't get mad, it's not that you're not excellent, but his arrogant and self-conceited personality will definitely bring him a lot of trouble. What he is today is the result of my actions, but his fate was created by himself, and I have no regrets about it. I just hope that in the future, sister, you won't hold this against me."

  They collectively glanced at Wang Ao Xuan and then said in unison: "Alright, stop spouting nonsense. Come sit down and eat."

  Wang Ao Xuan smiled and sat down, opened the white wine, poured a little for each of them, and divided the rest equally among the four.

  "This white wine doesn't taste very good," said Fang Hang.

  Wang Ao Xuan burst out laughing and downed a cup of white wine in one gulp. Suddenly, his whole body felt like it was on fire. The wine emboldened him, and Wang Ao Xuan immediately took a bite of food, then gazed at them, watching as they each seemed to be in a state of intoxication. Suddenly, he stood up, and once again, all eyes were on Wang Ao Xuan.

  "Let me tell you a story, don't interrupt me, just listen until I'm done, then you can respond. When I was young, I was always bullied, even in school, girls would beat me up and cry, everyone looked down on me, every single person called me Wang San Pi, but there was only one person, Peng Hao, who didn't call me that, of course, he did, but only when we were with a few close friends, and he would say it in a joking tone. Once, I had a fight with my parents, he snuck into his house to steal money for me to stay in a hotel, every day he would spend half an hour bringing me food, sometimes he would rather starve himself than not bring me something to eat, he once told me that he was willing to die for me. Today, because of me, he got caught, I don't know how many injuries he has on his body, I dare not think about it. If I don't go rescue him, in terms of morality and emotions, I will become a useless person, if I do go, I don't know what will happen to me, the risk is much greater than the first time. But I don't want you guys to go, as brothers, as friends, I only hope you live well, there's no need to take risks, and it's not worth taking this risk for me, really. If you consider me a brother, a friend, promise me one thing, none of you will go. Before this afternoon, I will definitely return safely here with all of you, anyway, my uncle is not home, just treat this place like your own home and wait for me." Wang Ao Xuan said emotionally, then used wood to tie his wrists.

  Everyone looked at Wang Ao Xuan with a sad expression, Chen Yi and Hu Jing cried, Wang Xunyi and Wan Menghan stared at Wang Ao Xuan as if to tell him not to go. Luo Xianjun lowered his head, Fang Hang and Ao Lun looked at him.

  When Wang Ao Xuan was ready, he put on his down jacket. He smiled at them one after another and said, "Wait for me to come back." Then he rushed out. At this time, a voice behind him called out, "Wang Ao Xuan!" It stopped him. He turned around to see that it was Wan Meng Huan. She walked in front of him, looked at Wang Ao Xuan, and said softly, "You will come back, right?"

  "Yes, I will definitely come back."

  "She continued: 'Then I'll wait here for you to come back. If you come back, everything will be fine. If not, then nothing needs to be said.'"

  At this time, Wang Ao Xuan's heart was both warm and moved, for the first time he pinched her cheek. Then walked on the way to school!

  When Wang Ao Xuan walked into the school again, all his classmates were stunned. Wang Ao Xuan ignored their so-called gaze and continued walking until he was about to reach the teaching building. His shoulder was tapped. Wang Ao Xuan glanced sideways with his peripheral vision. It turned out to be Wen Yu Qi and Luo Xian Jun.

  "What are you two doing here?"

  "Come with me to see King Yan, hehe." Wen Yuqi said jokingly.

  Lu Xianjun suddenly said: "A Xuan, don't tell us to go back. If you tell us two to go back, we'll rush in right now. Since we're here, our determination must be very strong. I told Fang Hang and Ao Lun to keep an eye on the six of them. By the way, Wan Menghan seems to be worried about you. She asked me to tell you that she wants you to return safely, and she's waiting for you." Wang Aoxuan suddenly felt a pang of sadness, realizing that Cold Beauty wasn't as cold as he thought, at least not towards him.

  "Let's go in."
