Strictly speaking, this person has nothing to do with me. The only thing that impressed me about him was just a glimpse a few hours ago.
At that time, I woke up from a coma and wanted to go see Tao Bai with Lu Shan. Under the dazzling sunshine, I found a person staring at me, but I didn’t see clearly that the person was no longer there, which made me still Thought I saw it wrong.
Now, I noticed this person again here. With my strong memory, the two figures suddenly intertwined together. I am sure that my judgment will not be wrong.
He avoided my gaze, and the expression on my face did not change. I pretended to joke with Brother Chengxin while quietly looking him over.
He is a young man, about the same age as me, of medium height, with a fair and gentle face, but his expression is a little arrogant and his eyes are a little hazy.
I am not a Xianzi Pulse person. I have to tell people clearly at the first glance. Even if Xianzi Pulse does not combine various specific situations, I dare not easily characterize people.
However, the first impression of a person always has great reference value. I feel that this person is not an imposing person, and he is so arrogant. He should be quite favored by the master
With this in mind, Brother Chengxin and I had already taken our seats, and Brother Chengqing and the others also arrived one after another. There were people sitting at a large round table, and almost all senior people were sitting in our group. People are around.
After all, after this incident, we inexplicably gained a reputation and became the 'protagonists' of this banquet. Even if we wanted to be low-key, we couldn't keep a low profile.
I didn't understand why the young man kept staring at me and looking quite unfriendly, but as the banquet started and I drank a few glasses of rice wine, I stopped thinking about it. I wasn't too concerned about it in the first place.
The country food was fresh and the rice wine had a long lasting aftertaste. Halfway through the feast, I was already feeling very happy! I ate a lot of food and drank almost everyone who came. After being in a coma for two days, I was like a starving ghost. Even though Brother Chengxin reminded me several times that Senior Brother Shanzimai should pay attention to his image, I was left behind. to the back of the head.
If this banquet had continued like this, it would have been a pleasant experience, but things in the world were not as expected.
The wine was half full and the food was warmed up. Seeing that the banquet was almost over, I felt like I was so full that I wanted to run away. Trouble was coming.
"Originally, Lao Li's lineage had a great reputation, but it just didn't show off. Now that the disciples and grandsons are here, they may have changed their minds and want to shine on the family lintel. This reputation is even greater! I just don't know that I am so famous. Would you be honored to have a drink with a junior disciple like Chen Chengyi and Lao Li Yilingshan?" A voice suddenly appeared next to me.
At that time, I was concentrating on chewing a big piece of ribs in the bowl. When I suddenly heard this sound, the meat almost got stuck in my throat.
I was sitting, and the visitor was standing, and the tone was quite condescending. Although the words were respectful, in fact, a fool could tell that they were actually thorny, and coupled with the obvious arrogance The tone of voice is very uncomfortable.
The reason why my meat almost got stuck in my throat was because I subconsciously wanted to slap him, but my reason stopped me. This was the result of this contradictory collision.
The young man's words made the atmosphere at the table a little awkward for a while. After all, except for our group, there were all old men and old ladies at the table. How could we not hear the provocation of that young man
It's just that they are polite in the literal sense, so you can't find fault with them. In addition, the people here should be from sects related to Hu Village. Maybe they are disciples of that big sect, so it's hard to come out and scold them, and then this embarrassment It turned into silence.
"Ji Qing, the people sitting at this table are all elders. You drank two more drinks, why are you running to this table to make trouble?" In the silence, an old man suddenly spoke, his His face was red, which is probably how Guan Erge was described in the Three Kingdoms as having a face as heavy as jujube. In short, he looked quite majestic.
Speaking of which, I also have some impressions of this old man. Even the elders at the table were quite enthusiastic towards me and didn't put on any airs. He was the only one who was lukewarm towards me. Although it was not disrespectful to him, it still made me feel uncomfortable. Feeling disconnected.
Of course, this is just an impression and does not represent my inner likes and dislikes. I am not arrogant enough to think that everyone in the world should like me and be enthusiastic about me. Even if I don’t like me at first glance, it’s normal. Such a small thing can’t be done. Not enough to care about.
But now that he suddenly spoke, it was obvious that he was related to the owner of the voice, so this matter was worth pondering.
I took a few bites of the ribs, pulled out a piece of paper, and wiped my hands and mouth. I had already caught a glimpse of the young man from the corner of my eye. This young man was the one who had been staring at me today. Since the elder of his master had spoken, so It's hard for me to answer the question.
"Uncle, I'm not drinking or messing around. This is the first drink today. I think it's appropriate to pay tribute to the most popular young person in our circle." Facing this old man, Ji Qing's voice I finally got three points of respect, but it seemed like he was getting stuck on me.
These words were considered reasonable and reasonable, so the old man stopped talking. Everyone was even more embarrassed to speak, and their eyes fell on me. They probably wanted to see how I should deal with such a thing? Are you angry and making sarcastic remarks? Still pretending nothing happened.
There was no change in my expression, and I stretched out my hand to take the wine bowl, but I felt uneasy in my heart. When adjectives like “the limelight, first person,” were placed on me, I felt that this person was actually being sarcastic.
But it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in knowing why he satirized me, unless he directly provoked me.
Not only me, but also Brother Chengxin, who never wanted to suffer in words, frowned slightly and continued to pick up the food. Young Master Xiao, who had always had a hot temper, was competing with a fish in an inconspicuous manner. He cursed: "A cooked fish has many spines, which can sting people. It is also a fish, and it is also a cooked fish."
The young man glanced at Xiao Chengqian, a look of dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes, and then his attention fell on me. I stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands, and simply said: "Thank you. You think highly of me, so do it first as a sign of respect."
After saying that, no matter what he thought, the wine glass clinked against his glass forcibly, and he drank the wine in one gulp, then raised the glass to signal and sat down.
This treatment was the most face-saving way for me. When I sat down, I could clearly see a trace of appreciation in Uncle Zheng's eyes. After all, I gave the host face and did not have an attack on the spot.
Speaking of which, young people, who is not arrogant? Even if we fight on the spot, what can others say
"Hey, I'm talking about you. I'm here to toast you. Why are you still standing here after everyone has drunk? Go back and sit down to eat. Do you think the master's food is not good?" After I finished drinking, Ji Qing asked He didn't leave, but stood beside me blankly. I didn't bother to pay attention to it, so as not to cause trouble if I answered, but Young Master Xiao couldn't help it.
In fact, the fact that he has been able to endure it until now is already very embarrassing.
Ji Qing glanced at Xiao Chengqian and said directly: "Who are you? I don't know you, what right do you have to ask me to leave?"
"You don't need to know me. It doesn't matter to me whether you go away or not, but you are blocking my view of picking up food and affecting my mood for eating, so I will let you leave, okay?" As Xiao Chengqian spoke, he was already Throwing away his chopsticks, he stood up and put his hands in his pockets. That was the true arrogance of a young man.
That kind of temperament coupled with these words made people feel that it was a matter of course for him to say it, even though in fact it was quite unworthy.
At this time, the red-faced old man's face was already very ugly. After all, a disciple of his sect was insulted like this, and even an elder couldn't bear it. Unfortunately, this was a verbal dispute between juniors, so how could he, an elder, intervene in it? ? He could only cough twice and looked at Uncle Zheng.
Uncle Zheng's face was also ugly. After all, he was the master, so he had to stand up and said: "Sit down, it's time to eat, it's time to drink. It's a beautiful day today. It's so ugly to quarrel! If you don't give me face, forget it." Bar."
Xiao Chengqian probably got angry and sat down. On the contrary, Ji Qing suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "Actually, I want to discuss it with Chen Cheng. Since his friend has already torn Face, I don’t need to be polite anymore, Chen Chengyi, do you dare or don’t you?”
Come to me for discussion, why? I was chewing another piece of ribs, and this time the meat almost got stuck in my throat.
