Chapter 6 Smoking is bad for your health

  The young masters in the mansion, as Qian Cheng said, were not good people either, but they had never done anything to harm her. Xie Youyan did not avoid them, nor did she actively participate in their activities.

  But it's also unknown what caught Qian Cheng's attention, always taking the initiative to find her, even if she didn't want to, using her soft spot for Liang Xi to drag her along.

  Time has made her form a habit, and she feels that being with them is not abnormal at all. It seems that habits are indeed a terrible thing.

  Sitting in the bedroom in a daze, I heard some movement outside the window, and immediately came to my senses and walked over.

  Just as she was about to push open the window, she saw Qian Cheng laughing and knocking on her window from outside. She couldn't help but be startled, "Qian Cheng, what are you doing? Come in quickly."

  Qian Cheng didn't mince words either, and with a burst of strength, he jumped in, "I'm telling you, Xie Youyan, has your old man strategically designed this building or something? This is the most difficult building I've ever climbed."

  "Looks like you're quite experienced, huh? How many young girls' bedrooms have you climbed into?" Xie Youyan teased him upon hearing this.

  Qian Cheng's face immediately became awkward, and he coughed lightly before asking in a low voice, "Don't you have anything else to do today?"

  "What could be going on at this late hour?" Xie Youyan was taken aback, pointing to the book on the table, "Just reading a book."

  "You really did put in the effort, didn't you? I didn't believe Liang Xi when she said it before, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I finally believe it." Qian Cheng looked at the writing on those books and couldn't help but laugh.

  "I said you wouldn't come running over in the middle of the night just to say that, would you?" Xie Youyan closed his book with a huff and sat down, not being polite at all.

  "Don't be angry, we have a gathering tonight, I didn't come to find you, it's so late and I was afraid of running into your father if I came in through the front door, so I climbed up." Qian Cheng hurriedly explained.

  Xie Youyan shook her head without thinking, "Not going."

  "Are you afraid of your dad scolding you?" Qian Cheng thought of something as soon as he saw it, hesitated for a moment and continued to say, "Or... I'll talk to him about it?"

  "No need, he's not even at home, but I don't want to go out with you guys either." Xie Youyan shook her head. She had done this kind of thing many times before in the middle of the night, and now that she had changed people, she didn't plan on agreeing, otherwise it would be no different from her past life.

  "No way, today is different, just for the sake of my face, let's go once." Qian Cheng heard her refuse so readily and immediately looked unhappy.

  "What's different? Tell me." Xie Youyan raised her head and asked with a smile.

  "I... I have a birthday today and I'd like to invite everyone to get together." Qian Cheng said with some embarrassment.

  Xie You said nothing for a moment, then stood up, "Since it's your birthday and you personally came to invite me, if I didn't go that would be too rude. Let's go."

  Qian Cheng burst out laughing after hearing this and was about to walk outside the door when Xie Youyan grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

  "Go out of the door, your dad is not at home, what am I afraid of?" Qian Cheng said with a matter-of-fact tone.

  Xie Youyan suddenly smiled wryly, "He's not at home, it's not okay. Gu Niang and Mu Tou are still here, so late again, we have to spend a lot of effort talking. How did you come to our place, that's how we'll leave."

  She decisively made a move that left Qian Cheng unable to object, and then jumped out of the window. Seeing Xie Youyan's skilled appearance, she couldn't help but laugh, "You're not bad either, it seems you often do this?"

  Xie You smiled unintentionally, just about to retort when he saw Sun Lingyu standing in the courtyard. He felt a little embarrassed and secretly annoyed, thinking that if he had known it would be like this, he might as well have walked through the front door directly.

  Perhaps knowing Xie Youyan's dilemma, Sun Lingyu didn't look at her again, but instead looked at Qian Cheng behind her and said, "Send her back early."

  "I'll make sure to send her back safely." Qian Cheng was also feeling guilty, sneaking into someone's window at this late hour and getting caught by the person's brother. Although he and Xie Youyan were innocent, it was too easy for people to misunderstand them now.

  "After thinking for a moment, he said with a tone that seemed to be both flattering and explanatory, 'Today is my birthday and I'm having a small gathering. It's just some familiar faces from the big courtyard, why don't you come along too?'"

  Sun Lingyu shook his head without thinking, "I have something else to do, I'm not going."

  Watching Sun Lingyu enter without any special expression, Qian Cheng turned to Xie Youyan, "Is he always like this?"

  "Less nonsense, hurry up and go, do you want everyone to see?" Xie Youyan ignored him and gave him a cold stare.

  Xie Youyan followed them to the bar where they were gathering, and indeed, they were all familiar faces, and there was no need for Cheng to spend money to invite them.

  Seeing Xie Youyan following Qian Cheng, someone sneered and shouted, "Xie Youyan, your attitude is really big, you want our Da Shouxing to come and invite you, don't you think you should be punished?"

  Others who heard it also followed suit, "Right, penalize him with three cups of wine."

  Xie Youyan looked up and saw that those who were shouting the loudest were some familiar faces, there was nothing to be angry about, just a helpless smile.

  "I say you guys are what mean, want to invite Shouxing even if punished, where in the world is such a reason." Before Xie Youyan could say anything, Liang Xi had already stood up.

  Qian Cheng also pulled Xie Youyan in, "Youyan don't mind them, today I'm the birthday star and I'm the biggest."

  Others laughed even louder, but just as Xie Youyan sat down beside Liang Xi, a voice rang out under the dim light, "I say you've gone far enough, Qian Cheng is right, he's the star of longevity, don't get things backwards."

  This group of young masters who feared neither heaven nor earth were also people who could be brought down, and as soon as the man's words fell, they stopped making trouble.

  Xie Youyan's expression suddenly became stiff and rigid. She stared tightly at the figure, her face turning pale bit by bit, the blood draining from her face completely.

  Long before she saw Xia Xiao Wan, she had thought that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect to see Mu Luo Qi again in such an abrupt situation.

  Moluo Qi, this young man who was once her greatest dream and hope in the previous life, had pursued and loved her like a moth to flame, but ultimately ended up being abandoned by everyone and could only rely on Xiao Yuanshan.

  At this moment, she suddenly had a few regrets about agreeing to come here with Qian Cheng.

  "You're not familiar with Mu Ge, are you? He's the leader of our big courtyard. If you don't even recognize him, don't say you're from our big courtyard in the future." Qian Cheng smiled and pointed at that person.

  Xie You smiled coldly in her heart, how could she not recognize this person, even if they had become ashes, she would still recognize them. Her face remained calm as she looked past him, "I really don't know you, I remember their leader wasn't you?"

  "That was many years ago. Since Mu Ge arrived, I've yielded to him." Qian Cheng said with a smile, without any sign of displeasure.

  That person walked over and sat down beside Qian Cheng after hearing his words, only then did he look at Xie Youyan, "So you're Xie Youyan, I'm Mu Luo Qi, we've met a few times before but never really talked."

  Xie You's heart ached, no matter whether she had truly let go of the loves and hatreds of her past life or not. The person in front of her was someone she had genuinely loved for over a decade, and that couldn't be faked. So even though she had warned herself a thousand times not to be affected by him again, when she saw him, her heart still uncontrollably ached.

  "Long speech..."

  Xie Youyan was pulled by Liang Xi, finally came back to his senses, looked up at Mu Luo Qi, his face had already recovered calmness, and even the corners of his mouth still had a few smiles, "Hello, nice to meet you, I'm also a member of this big house now, since you're the boss, please take care of me more in the future."

  Xie Youyan continued to joke around, and Liang Hui let out a sigh of relief and laughed, "Muge, Youyan is just like that, always reacting half a beat late."

  Moluo Qi nodded slightly and looked at Xie Youyan with a profound gaze before going to drink and chat with Qian Cheng.

  Xie Youyan tried not to look at Mu Luoqi, who was not far away from him, but the familiar breath kept reminding Xie Youyan that he was just nearby, and his heart suddenly felt a little stuffy.

  "You're just sitting here saying nothing on my birthday, can't you at least offer me a toast?" Qian Cheng saw Xie Youyan sitting there silently and was afraid of neglecting her.

  Xie Youyan didn't say anything and just nodded slightly with a forced smile, then picked up the cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

  It suddenly made Qian Cheng and his group of people stunned, Qian Cheng had seen Xie Youyan's drunk appearance before, but it was the first time he saw her drinking so generously, and he was also a little dazed.

  "What's wrong with you? Didn't you want me to toast?" Xie Youyan looked at him and finally couldn't help but laugh.

  "Do you know how strong this wine is?" Qian Cheng smiled wryly at her.

  Xie Youyan shook her head and smiled, "Who made you the biggest today? Since you've spoken up, I'll drink whatever wine there is, won't I?"

  Everyone listened to her words and burst out laughing again, "Qian Cheng, Ren Xie Youyan has already done it, what else do you want to say?"

  "Alright, let's do it." Qian Cheng also didn't hesitate and downed a cup of wine. Looking at Xie Youyan again, he opened his mouth and said, "Let's stop here for today. You're the one I brought back, if I really get you drunk, Master will kill me."

  Xie Youyan smiled and nodded, but put down the empty cup as a sign of agreement. Meanwhile, Qian Cheng had already been pulled away by others, which was understandable since he was the main character at this gathering and couldn't keep paying attention to her all the time.

  On the other side, Liang Xi was also talking to someone else, and there wasn't anyone around for a while. This made him even more aware of Mu Luo Qi's presence sitting alone on the other side, and his heart suddenly felt a bit suffocated.

  He stood up without thinking and walked out.

  Leaving Muluo Qi's sphere of influence, I feel a lot more at ease in my heart. Thinking about what Sun Lingyu said by the river back then also calmed me down a lot.

  But found that her head was a bit dizzy, after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that she was not the Xie Youyan who could drink several cups of wine without changing her face ten or twenty years later. Fortunately, it was only one cup, otherwise it would have been like that day again.

  But this dizzy state made her feel even more awake, and past events flashed through her mind like a fleeting glimpse of flowers, making her head ache even more.

  Found a secluded corner and sat down, just saw the cigarette on the table, if it was usual, I would not move, but now I couldn't help but skillfully light it up and take a puff.

  But at this moment a soft cough sounded in her ear, "Smoking is bad for your health."
