The Dinner Party

"How could that be? You are even a bit younger than me. If you are old, wouldn't that make me an old uncle?" Ye Shuang seemed to sense the lack of confidence in Chen Qin's tone and softened his voice. "Who would dare to think poorly of our Qin?"

Chen Qin was indeed feeling a bit inferior. It was an emotion stemming from deep within her heart, especially after learning that it would be difficult for her to conceive. The sensitive emotions she had hidden away surged forth uncontrollably like a tidal wave.

"Okay, Ah Ye, please don't despise me." After Chen Qin finished speaking, she kissed Ye Shuang over the phone and hung up.

Ye Shuang looked at his phone, deep in thought. Did something happen to Chen Qin?

Even though Chen Qin hid it well, Ye Shuang had grown up with her and could still sense that something was different from before.

It seemed to have been like this since before their last trip to Japan. Although Chen Qin's mood had improved a lot after that trip, she still hadn't completely recovered.

Unable to figure it out, Ye Shuang looked out at the scenery for a while. By the railing outside the corridor, two pure white doves were leaning against each other in a daze, but soon one spread its wings and flew away.

The dove left behind seemed a bit slow to realize it, but it eventually flew off in another direction.

After standing quietly in the corridor for a moment, Ye Shuang silently withdrew his gaze, turned around, and returned to the school infirmary.

An Shiyu and the others were still playing games. Ye Shuang spoke up, "I am heading to the club room now. Do you guys want to come along?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yezi obediently jumped down from her chair and stood beside Ye Shuang.

The two fishes shook their heads, showing no intention of getting up.

Seeing that the two fishes were not moving, Ye Shuang brought up what Chen Qin had just mentioned.

"One more thing. There is a banquet tonight. Are you two going?"

"A feast?" An Shiyu took off her headphones and looked over.

"White or red?" An Shiyi also asked, "Or green?"

What the heck is a green one?

"Oh, you know, a feast with all green dishes."

"I don't think there is such a banquet. It is actually just a dinner party for our corporate group." Ye Shuang gave a brief explanation, which successfully caught the attention of the two fishes. Sure enough, girls this age all loved delicious food, unlike Ye Shuang, who increasingly preferred lighter meals.

"We will think about it," An Shiyu said, propping her two legs on the edge of the desk and resting her chin on them. It was clearly an uncomfortable posture, but the young girl managed it effortlessly.

"Alright then, I will head to the club room first. Let's go, Yezi."

Seeing the short-haired girl say this, Ye Shuang did not pay much mind and turned to leave the infirmary. Just as he was about to close the door, he turned his head and found that the two fishes were already right behind him. The computer behind them was already shut down; their speed was so fast he suspected they had just kicked the power cord.

"Weren't you going to think about it?" Ye Shuang looked behind them, wondering how these two salted fishes had suddenly appeared at his back.

"We have thought about it," An Shiyu said.

"Isn't that a bit too fast?"

"Ninjas. Amazing, right?"

"Isn't it good for girls to be fast? It is only a problem if an old uncle is fast," An Shiyi said from the side, spreading her hands.

"..." Ye Shuang always felt that exchanging a few more words with Chao Yiyu would suddenly change the whole vibe, so he decided not to say anything more.

Leading the girls, Ye Shuang arrived at the club room. Zhi Xia and the others happened to be there as well. Musical notes echoed in the room; it seemed they were practicing music.

Of course, aside from Keke, who was playing a rhythm game. Anyone who did not know better might think this was a club for drinking tea and eating snacks.

Bai Yuyou, who was sitting on the sofa holding a guitar, trotted over after seeing Ye Shuang. "Ye Shuang."

Ye Shuang smiled and pinched the girl's cheek.

"Yezi, were you a good girl today?" While having her cheek pinched, Bai Yuyou also looked down at Yezi.

"Good."

Bai Yuyou immediately said to Ye Shuang, "Ye Shuang, our daughter is very good."

"Yuyou is very good at educating."

"Is that so?" With his fingers still pinching her cheek, Ye Shuang could not help but feel a bit amused seeing Bai Yuyou's serious little expression.

"Ah, Teacher Ye, there is something about the piano I don't quite understand. Could you teach me?" Linlin, currently sitting at the piano, asked with her hands clasped together.

"No problem." Ye Shuang sat down next to Linlin. At the same time, he did not forget to turn around and mention the banquet.

"A banquet?"

"Yes. As for the hotel, let me see..." Ye Shuang said, glancing briefly at the messages on his phone. "The Music Box Hotel in the city center. Are you interested?"

"Brother, who all will be going?" Tang Keke asked curiously.

"Well, besides the top executives of our group, there will actually be some entrepreneurs coming over. But that won't stop you from eating. After all, it is a social event for adults." Ye Shuang smiled. Keke and the others could just find a place to sit and eat when the time came.

"I am going!" Tang Keke said immediately. Why wouldn't she go if there was good food?

Zhi Xia and the others were a bit hesitant. After all, they were just ordinary students. Going to such a prestigious group's banquet, would they make fools of themselves and end up dragging Ye Shuang down?

"We don't seem to have any nice clothes. Would it be embarrassing to go there?" Zhi Xia and the others looked at each other in dismay.

"Will everyone there be wearing all sorts of expensive jewelry and carrying designer bags?" Linlin could not help but say. "Like in the TV dramas, with two-meter-long dresses dragging on the floor..."

"You guys are overthinking it. It is not a wedding." Seeing the girls muttering to themselves, Ye Shuang felt a bit helpless. Had these girls watched too many TV dramas? It was purely just eating a meal and doing a bit of socializing.

In the end, the girls made up their minds. After all, it was Ye Shuang's invitation, and Linlin and the others also wanted to go and see.

"Where is Taozi?" Ye Shuang noticed that Taozi was nowhere to be seen in the club room.

"Taozi had something to do today and didn't come to the club room."

"Okay, then I will ask her on my phone."

Ye Shuang took out his phone and sent Taozi a message:

Ye Shuang: Taozi, there is a banquet tonight. Are you free?

Taozi: I am very sorry, Brother Ye. I have something to do tonight, so I probably won't have time.

Ye Shuang: It's fine, go ahead with your stuff.

Taozi: FingerHeart.jpg

Taozi really looked less and less like her former cowardly self. Looking at the sticker she sent over, Ye Shuang smiled, shook his head, and put his phone away.

Since they had decided to attend the banquet, the Light Music Club's activities ended early. After the club activities, Ye Shuang drove directly to the corporate group to find Chen Qin, while Bai Yuyou, Keke, and the others went home first to change clothes and take a shower.
