There were a lot of people at the banquet.
After Jane Ning and Roy entered, they were surrounded by their friends and classmates who were also at the party. They were not in the same university and did not have many opportunities to meet each other. Now that they finally had a chance to get together, everyone had a lot to say.
A group of people gathered together and didn't just chat, there was no shortage of wine at the banquet.
Roy saw Jian Ning drinking too, and tried to stop him: "Ning, you can't drink much, so just drink a beverage."
"Drinking capacity is something you develop through practice. Just drink more and you will have it."
Someone heard what Roy said and immediately interrupted, "If we are really drunk, there will be someone to take us back."
Their home is on Baiwu Star. Not to mention that it is not far from home, there is someone to pick them up. Even if there is no one to pick them up, they can get home by taking a taxi.
The public security on Baiwu Star is good, and it is very safe to travel at night.
Roy failed to persuade others to drink, and a glass of wine was stuffed into his hand.
Although they were chatting happily, some adults older than them would come to talk to them from time to time. After being talked to by the adults several times, the rich second-generation leader, Byron, frowned and stood up: "Let's go to another place to gather. It's not far from here. It only takes a few minutes by car."
Byron felt that they were just going through the motions at the party, and now that they were all together as friends, they should have a good time.
"Just follow me, I guarantee you'll have a blast!"
Byron was quite accomplished in eating, drinking and having fun. The reason he was able to go to the same kindergarten and elementary school as Jane Ning was entirely because he had a strict grandfather at home to keep him under control.
Although he became a little addicted to pleasure later on, he never did anything illegal and his character was not that bad.
Jian Ning has a pretty good relationship with him.
Led by Byron, this group of young boys and girls who did not want to be disturbed by adults left the banquet in a group.
A few minutes later.
A group of people came to a club with an elegant name.
Jane Ning was held in Byron's arms, and listened to Byron chattering to him as they walked: "This place is absolutely up to standard! There are many fun things in it, you can choose whatever you want when you get there."
Jane Ning has not yet seen what fun things are inside.
He only saw intuitively that the people here all had outstanding looks, especially those wearing work badges, whose faces and figures were all top-notch.
"Byron, is this a proper place?"
A person traveling with me looked around the environment and asked quietly, "It looks like a high-class environment, but there are too many good-looking people here."
Seeing so many good-looking people gathered together left him stunned.
"Of course it's a proper place."
Byron said seriously, "I have also seen His Royal Highness Cesar coming here."
When they heard that this was the place where His Highness Caesar came, everyone felt relieved instantly. They looked at the place with more interest, wanting to know what was so good about this place that even Caesar would come.
The person who was responsible for receiving them took them to a large suite.
As soon as they entered, several young men and women followed in with fruit plates.
There are musical instruments and playthings like a pool table in the suite.
The men and women delivering the fruit plates stood there, talking about their skills and asking if they wanted them to stay.
Byron looked at them and nodded: "Stay." Jane Ning poked his arm and disagreed: "Why keep them here?"
Byron leaned against the sofa, looking very experienced: "If we keep them here, they can play the piano for us and play with us. Don't look at me like a scum. I don't have any bad intentions!"
Byron understood the look Jane Ning gave him and explained to him, "That kind of people don't work here, and there's no such deal here!"
After he clarified his innocence, he hesitated for a few seconds, then lowered his voice and added two sentences: "Although there are no unhealthy transactions here, if there is someone you like, you can ask for their contact information and pursue them openly. The boss here does not allow coercion. Even if I am a rich second-generation, I cannot force love here."
Jian Ning: “…”
Jane Ning listened to his explanation reluctantly.
The few people who were left behind by Byron all knew their limits.
While Jane Ning and her group were chatting, they just played soothing music on the side without any intention of disturbing them.
To be fair, Byron’s recommendation is a good one.
There were all kinds of food and entertainment in this suite. Among the waiters who stayed a while ago, there was one who knew how to mix cocktails. It didn’t take them long before they started having a great time.
Byron took a microphone, stood on the coffee table and howled, saying that he had a dream of music.
Jane Ning covered her ears, her face flushed, and her steps were unsteady.
Roy lay on the sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand and a Star Phone in the other, calling his girlfriend. With a red face, he shouted loudly amid Byron's howling, "I'm not fooling around outside!"
"No one is really being beaten, it's Byron who is singing! He's not being beaten!"
"Yes, there are girls..."
"I didn't talk to girls! Wife, I only love you!"
Roy's voice drowned out Byron's last few words.
When Jian Ning heard his confession, she knew that he was reporting it to his girlfriend.
Seeing that Roy was still talking on the phone with his girlfriend, Jane Ning looked down at his Star Phone. He had not received any call from César on his Star Phone.
Cesar knew that he went out to play, and he also knew that there were both men and women who went out with him.
But Xizel only reminded him to be careful and have fun.
Roy's girlfriend was still checking on him and seemed jealous.
Jian Ning was sitting alone, hugging a pillow. His expression was a little dull and he looked a little slow, but he only looked slow. His brain was working very flexibly.
"My brother has never been jealous of me."
Jian Ning murmured belatedly, "He doesn't know how to check on me, either."
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to check on his parents, but César’s “checking on his parents” is clearly different from the “checking on his parents” that Roy is facing now.
Jane Ning was still thinking about this matter.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed and sad he felt in his heart, and it was difficult to relieve this emotion.
After a moment.
Jane Ning was in a depressed mood. She turned on her star phone and instead of sending a message to Xizel, she posted a circle of friends directly.
The picture he attached was a picture of a wine glass that he took himself.
The text on the picture is a corresponding sentence: "I have tasted the bitterness of love."
But maybe it was the alcohol that numbed the flexibility of her fingers, or maybe it was the pain of love that made Jane Ning's attention a little distracted from the star machine.
The function he set to block elders became visible only to elders.
After posting on WeChat Moments, Jane Ning didn’t even check it.
He turned his Star Phone to do not disturb mode, intending to experience the bitterness of love alone again.
Roy is still on the phone.
Byron stopped howling and started chatting about relationship issues with a young lady who stayed to play with them.
The young lady is gentle and has a nice voice.
She was acting as a temporary emotional mentor to Byron.
Byron was pursuing a young lady from a scholarly family, but after a long time, there was no progress.
The young lady who served as his emotional mentor was gently analyzing with him -
This little girl has no interest in him.
The young lady said: "If you like someone, you will respond. One-sided initiative, and the other party does not respond, or the whole process is a passive response, this is actually the answer."
The young lady's words of advice to Byron made Jane Ning's eyes widen.
"If I kiss him, he'll kiss me back, but he won't kiss me first."
Jian Ning suddenly spoke, looking straight at the young lady beside him and asked, "So... does he like me or not?"
Young lady: “…”
The young lady was startled.
Jian Ning continued to ask, this time he asked in more detail: "He will cooperate with whatever I want to do, including these intimate things, but when he cooperates, he always wants to reject me."
The more Jane Ning spoke, the more complicated the young lady's expression became.
After listening to Jian Ning's words, the young lady tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and said bluntly: "My son, if your lover is like this, there is really no point in staying together."
The young lady only listened to Jian Ning's description, and she made a very clear judgment: "This is not love."
Jane Ning's face was still red just now, but this time her eyes were red.
The little sister who could call out "baby" was only seven or eight years older than Jane Ning, but she had always claimed to be a mom fan on Starnet. She recognized Jane Ning as soon as she came in.
The young lady recognized her beloved cub, but since it was working hours, she could only restrain herself from showing her concern for the cub.
Now when I hear my son come to her to consult her about his relationship problems, the content of the questions is still like this...
The young lady was so angry that she almost died.
After learning a little more about the details of their relationship from Jian Ning, she said with certainty: "Your partner doesn't hate you and treats you well in life, but she doesn't necessarily want to date you."
“When you’re in a relationship, it’s not about one person wanting to be close to the other person, it’s about both of you wanting to be close to each other.”
While the young lady was speaking, she looked at Jane Ning's face again.
Seeing her son from such a close distance, she was almost suffocated by his looks! She was able to date such a good-looking boy, but he didn't even want to get close to her son!
Is this reasonable?!
According to the young lady's firm judgment, Jian Ning, who just felt that she was suffering from the bitterness of love, now felt that she was tasting the pain of a broken heart.
He was really sad.
Byron looked at Jane Ning with red eyes, then at the indignant young lady. He opened his mouth, confused and not knowing what to say.
"Ningzi, you, you-you don't drink like that!"
Byron watched Jane Ning drinking heavily and hurriedly stopped her, "We drink for fun, you're drinking too much! Stop it, or your dad will beat you up if you keep drinking."
Jane Ning didn't listen to a word Byron said.
He gulped down the wine, feeling sad.
He understood.
The relationship he was in was simply something his brother tried to coax him into doing.
Xi Zeer's love for him was not the love of wanting to be with him. It turned out that these days, he was forcing love on his brother.
Jian Ning was drunk on the sofa, and under his circle of friends, under the status he just posted, a long string of comments had already appeared.
The first person to comment was Zhan Xi: "What do you mean by the pain of love? Who are you in love with?"
Ling Qi gave a thumbs up.
Ludwig: “?”
Ivy: "Ningzi is in love?"
An Zhu: "Baby? Reply to mom's message."
Anno gave a thumbs up.
There was a long string of comments and likes below the post, but Jane Ning was still unaware of it.
An Zhu sent him a message but didn't get a reply for a long time.
She thought of the wine in the photo, so she frowned and sent a message to Xizel: "Linzi, are you with Ningzi now?"
Xizel replied immediately: "No, he is having a party with his friends."
An Zhu: "He's drunk, remember to pick him up."
Cesar: “Okay.”
Xizel immediately stood up and prepared to pick someone up.
He put on his coat and was walking towards the door when he saw another message from An Zhu: "Did you see Ningzi's updates?"
When Xizel saw the news, he checked Jane Ning's updates on the spot.
The last update was posted two posts ago.
He wasn't sure if An Zhu was asking about this update.
While Xizel was still thinking, An Zhu sent another message: "He made it public on WeChat Moments."
Cesar: “…”
Xizel looked at the word "public" and stopped walking out.
