Wu Yang did not object.
Jiang Xun ordered her a mojito and Ye Mei ordered a margarita.
The three of them drank quietly, chatting occasionally.
Suddenly, Jiang Xun saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but blurt out, "It's Brother Yan An."
Hearing the name, Wu Yang was stunned and subconsciously looked towards the crowded crowd.
His handsome and elegant figure can be spotted in the crowd at a glance, without even having to look for him.
In the crowded crowd, Song Yanan was followed by a group of men in suits, and it looked like they were here to inspect the store.
Walking across the chaotic crowd, Wu Yang held his chin quietly. His face was trapped in the light and shadow, a little blurry. At this moment, the alcohol seemed to fade away in his brain, and all the emotions became clear. She stared at him, not willing to blink.
"I'll go say hello to him." Ye Mei said, putting down the cocktail in her hand and leaving the booth.
Wu Yang saw her running into the crowd, talking happily to Song Yanan, and then pointing to the booth over here, as if inviting him to come over.
Song Yanan looked over, but didn't meet Wu Yang's eyes, so he turned away.
Wu Yang still held his chin in his hand and remained silent.
"Brother Yan An seems to be a workaholic. Every time I see him, he is working." Jiang Xun said after taking a sip of wine.
Wu Yang glanced at him sideways, "Really?"
"Well, don't you think he's attractive?"
Wu Yang lowered his head and smiled, his fingers falling on the edge of the transparent cup, "It is quite charming."
"What do you think of me?"
"You?" Wu Yang looked him up and down and shook his head. "I don't think so."
Jiang Xun's face turned cold. "What did you say? I'm so good-looking, but you still say I have no charm? Do you know that the girls who like me can be ranked from the first ring to the fifth ring?"
"Oh." Wu Yang said perfunctorily.
"What does oh mean?" Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.
Wu Yang said with a half-smile: "I'm talking about you, you lie without thinking."
Having said this, Ye Mei had already brought Song Yanan over. Wu Yang immediately shut up, straightened his body, and sat upright.
Jiang Xun looked at her strangely.
Ye Mei said: "You should all know my cousin Song Yan'an, right?"
"Of course I know him." Jiang Xun stretched out his hand lazily, raised one lip, and said to Song Yan'an in a casual and evil manner: "Brother Yan'an, good evening, are you coming to inspect the store?"
Song Yanan held his hand, looking mature and steady, "Well, you guys come over to play?"
"yes."
"Why don't you book a private room?"
"I don't know either. It was Xiaoyang who ordered it. I just came here to drink for free."
Song Yanan smiled and looked at Wu Yang.
Wu Yang's expression immediately became serious. After thinking for a while, he chuckled twice, "Haha, I thought the hall would be more lively, so I came."
"Don't you mind the noise?" Song Yan'an asked her in a low voice.
Wu Yang still had that stiff fake smile on his lips, "It's okay."
"I'm going to open a..." Private room for you guys, Song Yanan realized she had said the wrong thing before she finished the word. Wu Yang was just a waiter, how could she afford the cost of a private room? Even the cost of a booth in the hall, it was difficult for her to afford to treat guests.
"What?" Wu Yang didn't hear his entire sentence.
Song Yanan smiled and said, "Nothing, are you treating us tonight?"
"Yes, I'm hosting tonight. Do you want to stay? I'll buy you a drink."
Song Yanan looked normal, "No, I came here to inspect the store tonight."
"You can drink while patrolling the store, cousin, so just stay." Ye Mei glanced at Wu Yang and helped to persuade him.
Song Yanan still shook his head.
Ye Mei went to shake his hand and said coquettishly: "Cousin, just stay. It will be much more lively with you here."
"I'm really busy." Ye Mei is almost 6 years older than Song Yan'an, who is 24 this year and just graduated from college.
Song Yan'an is 30 years old this year.
He doted on Ye Mei quite a bit. After all, there were only a few relatives in the family and Ye Mei was the only girl, so as a brother he doted on her especially.
After Ye Mei had been nagging for a long time, Song Yanan finally agreed reluctantly, but she had to wait until he finished inspecting the store.
This wait lasted for dozens of minutes.
When Song Yanan came over again, Ye Mei and Jiang Xun had already left their seats.
Wu Yang was flipping through a novel. Her little face was red and her eyes were hazy. It was obvious that she was a little drunk.
Song Yanan chuckled, "Reading here? Are you serious?"
Wu Yang raised his eyes and saw it was him. He quickly covered the novel in his hand, "I bought it when I passed by the bookstore today. I have nothing to do now, so I just read what it is about."
"What's that about?" As he spoke, he had already sat down, folded his long legs, and looked elegant and calm.
Wu Yang raised her blushing face and said with a smile, "I've only flipped through a few pages, so I don't know the specific content yet, but the introduction says that this is a love triangle story, and the protagonist ends up in tragedy."
"Oh?" Song Yan'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why the tragic ending?"
Wu Yang felt that he seemed to be quite interested in the contents of the book, so he turned to the last chapter and started reading.
Song Yan'an was not in a hurry either. He sat quietly by the side waiting for her to finish watching the ending.
After a while, Wu Yang spoke in a gentle voice, "At the end of the story, the hero is with the heroine's friend, while the heroine, alone, sits on a train to a distant place."
Wu Yang's voice was quiet and gentle, and she said, "The hero said that the heroine is a very strong person, and she can live a wonderful life even without him, but the heroine's best friend can't do that, because her best friend regards the hero as everything. If he leaves, that best friend will die, so he finally chose the heroine's best friend."
Song Yan listened quietly, and couldn't help but frowned, "This story is really stupid."
But another thought in his mind was: he seemed to be the protagonist, his sweetheart and good brother were happily together, but he was the only one still wandering alone.
He sighed and suddenly thought that it was actually quite good to have someone around.
Of course, Wu Yang didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. He flipped through the book in his hand and said, "No, this book is well written. It's very delicate and painful to read. I think the author probably wrote a story about something that you can't get. It doesn't have to have a perfect ending. Sometimes leaving a little regret can make people deeply impressed."
Song Yanan turned his head and almost glared at her, then spoke coldly for the first time: "I don't think so at all."
Wu Yang was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Song Yan'an was unhappy. She didn't dare to answer casually, so she lowered her head and took a sip of wine.
Song Yanan called the waiter to order some drinks.
He also didn't order a straight drink, but instead a sharp dry martini.
"Where are Ye Mei and Jiang Xun?" After a long time, Song Yan'an put down the wine glass in his hand and asked.
"It seems to be dancing in front."
"Why don't you go?" He turned his head and looked at her with a noble and calm face.
Wu Yang's heart suddenly contracted, it was a heartbeat, thump thump thump, and he said in a daze, "I don't like dancing."
"What about the wine?"
“I don’t drink much.”
"So what are you doing at the club?"
Wu Yang's eyes widened. Why did he start talking about something she couldn't understand again? She thought about it and said slowly, "It's Jiang Xun's gift today. I felt that I should at least give him a little return gift after receiving such an expensive gift from him, so I came here."
"This meal is not cheap." He said coldly.
"I know."
"You know?" He smiled lightly, his eyes dark, making her feel uneasy for no reason.
Wu Yang was completely confused. Why was the conversation becoming more and more wrong
"Yes, I know. The prices here are not cheap, but the gift Jiang Xun gave me is even more expensive, so..."
"You like him, don't you?"
Wu Yang frowned, looked back at him in confusion, and said directly: "Brother Yan An, what do you want to say? Are you hinting at something with these words?"
Song Yan'an didn't say anything, just smiled silently and looked towards the dance floor in the distance.
Wu Yang followed his gaze and saw that in the dance floor, Jiang Xun and Ye Mei were dancing a slow dance together. Ye Mei's face was pressed against Jiang Xun's chest, and Jiang Xun's arms were also around Ye Mei's slender waist.
Wu Yang suddenly understood.
It turned out that Song Yan'an thought she liked Jiang Xun and that Jiang Xun was two-timing, so he always said some confusing words to remind her. Although it was a big mistake, Wu Yang felt warm in her heart, proving that Song Yan'an was an upright and responsible man.
