At this moment, other people in the private room also chimed in, "An’an, who was that handsome guy just now?"
"Yeah, An’an, do you know the handsome guy who was talking to you just now? He’s really good-looking!"
The two had been standing right by the entrance of the private room, especially since Xu Weiran was facing the room’s direction, many had seen either his full face or his profile.
In two words, very handsome!
"Just a friend," Sheng Ning’an explained.
The two of them, they should be considered friends, right?
"Since he’s a friend, why didn’t you invite him to join us?"
"Yeah? Do you want to invite him over?"
Right then, everyone was on the same page as Tang Dou, wanting to pull the handsome guy over to join them in celebrating Sheng Ning’an’s birthday.
Sheng Ning’an laughed and said, "He’s just returned to the country and has plans with friends to celebrate. It’s not very convenient."
Everyone showed a look of disappointment.
At the same time, Xu Weiran pushed open the door to the neighboring private room.
Inside, a friend’s familiar teasing voice said, "You finally deigned to return to the country. How about it, the place I picked for you, isn’t it down-to-earth enough?"
"Not bad!" Xu Weiran replied with a smile, though Tang Dou’s words involuntarily popped into his head.
She called that girl the birthday star.
So, today is that girl’s birthday?
A friend handed him a glass of wine and said, "What’s on your mind? Just got back to the country and already distracted? Don’t tell me you’ve gotten used to the American lifestyle and look down on this place I’ve chosen for you?"
Xu Weiran took the glass and smiled briefly, "No, I just ran into a friend at the door who seems to be celebrating her birthday. I was wondering if I should go over and say hello."
The friend immediately perked up, pressing for details, "A friend? Aren’t all your friends here? Do you actually have friends I don’t know about? Male or female? Judging by your expression, it must be a girl. How does she look, beautiful?"
"Pretty beautiful." After more than two years, the little girl had grown up and became even prettier.
Like a bright and vibrant flower.
This was the first time the friend heard him praise a girl’s beauty, and interest was immediately piqued, "Really? Why don’t you call her over so we can all hang out together?"
"Better not, she has friends with her, and it would be inconvenient to call her over." He paused, then glanced at his friend, "And, I’m afraid you might scare her off."
"What’s that supposed to mean? Do I look that scary?" His friend was not pleased, "Besides, what’s so inconvenient about it? Just call her and her friends over too, isn’t it more fun with more people?"
"Enough, I told you it’s inconvenient," Xu Weiran refused.
That girl’s temperament might not enjoy this kind of lively scene.
Still enthusiastic, his friend naturally wasn’t willing to give up easily, "Could it be that you don’t want us to meet her? No way, the less you want us to see her, the more we want to. I want to see what kind of girl can move Mr. Xu to compliment her beauty?" Then he called out, "Do you guys want to see a beauty with me?"
"Yes!" Everyone immediately cheered in unison.
Xu Weiran couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache, hastily pulling his friend back and saying, "Stop it, she’s still a young girl."
"A young girl, how young?" his friend teased.
Xu Weiran did some quick math, "She should have just graduated from high school this year."
Upon hearing this, the friend stared at him and said, "So, how old was she when you knew her?" Just graduated from high school means, at most, she just came of age. This guy has been abroad for two and a half years, doesn’t that mean she was still a child when he knew her?
