In the private room, everyone sat around the table. Although there were so-called elders, they were about the same age, but they were not so restrained and they sat casually.

After they have enough food and drink, they move each other. A few people have already gone to sing and play cards, so there is no so-called position problem.

However, Jiang Mutang is always paying attention to Xi Chen.

He is not familiar with everyone, and is not lively and extroverted. Perhaps he is always dealing with "dead things" like stones and clay, and is even not very good at socializing. Jiang Mutang was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable in such an occasion.

However, he kept talking to Huo Tinglan during the meal, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, so he felt a little relieved.

Huo Tinglan got up and wanted to go to the bathroom, signaling Jiang Mutang to be with him.

"Uncle, are you two so tired? You go to the bathroom together?" Someone joked.

"Their relationship has been going on for more than ten years."

"My uncle is going back to the team soon, so I must seize the time to spend time together!"

"If my uncle finds a girlfriend in the future, the saddest one will definitely be Brother Mu Tang."

...

The group of people were making noise, just to make jokes. Huo Tinglan and Jiang Mutang had already walked to the corridor outside the box. He had drunk some wine tonight, and his face was slightly drunk.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you asking me for it?"

What Jiang Mutang is most worried about is the issue of Huo Tinglan and Xi Chen. It is a good thing for him to live in peace and appreciate each other.

"How long does Xi Chen stay in the capital?" Huo Tinglan leaned against the wall, and even after drinking, his waist and back were straight.

"It will take some time, what's wrong?"

"He came to our house today, brought gifts, and said he wanted to give us ceramic wine utensils. I always couldn't really give him a little bar, and I always felt that he had a great advantage."

"He has a lot of that thing, and it's not a rare thing for him."

"That's not OK. I think I'm treating him to a meal before returning to the team, and I need your help to match it up."

"That's all?"

"Otherwise? You really want us to fight?"

When I was a child, I didn’t have the nerve to show it out and say that Huo Tinglan was not that kind of person who cares about it. "Actually, Xi Chen is not a bad person. There was almost something wrong with us today."

"You said you almost got kicked by a horse?"

"I always feel that I didn't entertain him well, so I just happened to invite him to a meal to suppress his shock."

Huo Tinglan is not a very thoughtful person, he is loyal and realistic.

**

The two people in the corridor here were chatting, but Xi Chen's eyes in the box fell on the other person who was chatting with him.

Wearing a milky white sweater, her hair was not long, and she gently tied up, revealing her slender neck and round earlobes. Her face was burned with a layer of redness by the heating inside the house.

Chatting with people, laughing freely.

Pink and tender, like crabapple flowers on the branches, pretty and lovely.

Maybe he felt someone was looking at her, but Huo Qingcen turned his head a little, probably not expecting it would be Xi Chen.

Caught off guard, his eyes narrowed.

The lights were dim, covering his dark eyes. His eyes were too focused. The lights gathered in his eyes, as if they turned into a burning ray, which made Huo Qingcen's heart thump.

They are not ignorant children. Sometimes, a person's eyes can explain many problems.

When he met, he did not avoid it, but looked at her frankly and directly, as if he had no other feelings. Huo Qingcen nodded with him, saying hello, and was about to turn around and continue chatting with Jiang Ruan and others, but unexpectedly, Xi Chen suddenly walked over with a glass of wine.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruan knew that they had something to say, so he went to one side to watch his two younger brothers fighting against Landlords.

"Miss Huo."

"Uncle Xi."

This title made Xi Chen laugh, "You are Mu Tang's aunt. You call me uncle, what do you call Mu Tang?"

"This is also..." Apart from his uncle, Huo Qingcen really doesn't know what to call him.

However, Xi Chen had already sat down beside her, not close to her, but was just a normal social distance. His behavior was appropriate and would not make people feel abrupt and irregular.

"Uncle Master? Actually..." Xi Chen smiled.

"We are peers, and the distance between us is not that far."

"The distance between people of the same generation can be very close."

Huo Qingcen was dazed and always felt that there was something in his words. But the next second, Xi Chen had already glanced at the wine cup in front of her, "Actually, I came here to thank you for your life-saving grace today."

"It was me who didn't look down on my horse, which made you frightened in our house. I should say sorry to you." Huo Qingcen said as he picked up the cup in front of him, "I will just treat this cup as apologizing to you."

Xi Chen just smiled and took the wine glass over, and the two of them touched the wine glasses gently.

Huo Qingcen held the wine glass and took a sip. The spicy and sweet plum wine instantly rushed into his throat. The wine was soft and tender, but it just rolled into his lungs, but it seemed like a burning fire. If someone who didn't drink often would be burned, his face would be burned red.

"Are you drinking wine?" She was drinking drinks during the meal. When she clinked her glasses, Xi Chen noticed that she was holding the wine cup.

Before she could stop her, she had already taken a sip.

"Since it's apologizing, you must have some sincerity."

Huo Qingcen picked up the Coke on the side and took a few bites. The spicy smell in his mouth seemed to be relieved with pride.

"Can you drink alcohol?"

"No, just a little bit."

"Girls should drink less when they go out."

"I don't drink alcohol often when I'm away. Today I'm all my own people, so it's okay." Huo Qingcen was still drinking Coke in his head, relieved his heart that seemed to be burning.

"Our own people..." Xi Chen played with the wine glass with his fingertips, "Am I, too?"

It's yours...

Your own person?

Huo Qingcen was drinking Coke, and his heart was shocked by what he said. Coke cooled slightly and entered his throat. He met the spicy drink just now, as if he had a subtle chemical reaction.

The spicy taste of plum wine is only temporary, and it slowly returns to sweetness at this time.

A trace of sweetness erupted from the bottom of my heart.

She looked up slightly and looked at Xi Chen, "You are Mu Tang's uncle, his family, and I am his aunt, so I am naturally my own person."

Xi Chen nodded with a smile, and the afterglow caught Jiang Mutang's return. The two of them had a collision of eyes. He was open-minded, but Jiang Mutang's heart was pounding wildly.

What to do?

Why did he run to my aunt?

Compared to Xi Chen's relationship, Jiang Mutang and Huo Qingcen must be closer. They said they were aunts, but in fact they were similar to their sisters. When he looked at Xi Chen's eyes, he wanted to see some bold thief.

"Uncle Master." Jiang Mutang walked over and naturally intervened between the two.

Xi Chen turned his head to look at him, "You go to the bathroom, you are quite broken and you move very quickly."

“…”

Jiang Mutang smiled angrily. He didn't go at all. He just said a few words to Huo Tinglan in the corridor, but Xi Chen's words were not the case in his ears.

Is this a good thing that disturbed them?

"I'll go see them play cards." Huo Qingcen pressed the wine and ran to find Jiang Ruan.

However, Jiang Mutang and Xi Chen returned to their original position and kept looking at him secretly.

Xi Chen is not an active person.

**

What shocked him the most was that it happened after the dinner party.

Everyone went home, but nothing happened that worried Jiang Mutang. They just returned to Kwun Tong Villa. Jiang Jinshang and Tang Wan were not asleep. Several children were outside. If they didn't come back, how could they sleep peacefully?

"How was it going out today?" Tang Wan looked at Xi Chen.

"fine."

"That's fine, then wash and rest early."

"Senior Sister." Just before Tang Wan entered the bedroom, Xi Chen called her.

"There's something else?"

"Where is a place to ride a horse in the capital?"

"Riding a horse?" Tang Wan frowned, "Do you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

"Well, I saw a lot of horses at Huo's house today. I'm very interested and want to give it a try."

"I don't know this either. I'll ask you another day and let's take a break."

"Thank you, senior sister." After Xi Chen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back to the room, but saw that Jiang Mutang did not return to the room, but stood at the door of the room, with his arms folded, and his eyes were like torches, staring at him for a moment.
