After watching the scenery for a while, everyone returned to the room and sat down, sipping their drinks. Suddenly, Lei Yu, who had been silent, spoke up, "Do you have any plans for tonight?"
Everyone was taken aback. Pei Xingyuan said, "After drinking, if you’re not going home to sleep, what else do you plan to do?"
Lei Yu replied, "Since Feng Chen is back today, why don’t we do what we usually do and go night hunting?"
Shang Ruyi was surprised to hear this and looked at Lei Yu.
Night hunting, which is hunting at night, not only appealed to the Gatekeeper’s Sons but was also used in the military as a way to train soldiers. Night hunting challenges one’s eyesight and shooting skills more than usual and is a very difficult hunting method.
Unexpectedly, Lei Yu suggested it.
Upon hearing this, everyone was a bit excited.
Ever since Yu Wenye left the Eastern Capital with Duke Sheng, they had lost interest in night hunting and had not gone hunting together for a long time.
Someone asked, "Brother Feng Chen, what do you think?"
Shang Ruyi immediately turned to look at Yu Wenye, only to see his eyes flickering, as if he was really interested.
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a bit panicked.
Her skills were such that hitting a target with an arrow in the military camp was challenging enough. If she went night hunting, she feared she might end up being caught by prey instead.
Looking back at Lei Yu, she saw her slightly raising her eyebrows, coldly watching her.
She did it on purpose!
Realizing Lei Yu’s intent, Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation. Before Yu Wenye could respond, she turned to him and said softly, "Second Brother, we just returned to Luoyang and have many things to do."
Her words were calm, but when she looked at Yu Wenye, her eyes flickered with earnestness.
No matter what, she didn’t want to join them for night hunting tonight. It would be embarrassing.
She didn’t want to be left behind!
Otherwise, how could she face Yu Wenye’s friends, especially Lei Yu, in the future?
Seeing her almost pleading look, Yu Wenye seemed to understand. He thought for a moment and then turned to the others, saying, "Let’s skip tonight. Ruyi’s right. We just returned to the Eastern Capital and have many things to handle. Let’s go when we have more time."
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they didn’t insist and nodded one after another.
Only Lei Yu couldn’t hide her disappointment and gave Shang Ruyi a harsh glare.
As Shang Ruyi, feeling guilty, shifted her gaze, Pei Xingyuan, noticing Lei Yu’s disappointment, teased with a smile, "Miss Lei, you can go hunting any day. There’s no rush for today. Your skills won’t disappear after today."
Lei Yu was already in a bad mood, and his teasing made her frown.
"Pei Adan, even if my skills were gone, dealing with you is just a matter of a finger!"
What she said afterward wasn’t much, but as soon as he heard her call him "Pei Adan," Pei Xingyuan jumped up, "Why are you calling me that again!"
Everyone roared with laughter.
Shang Ruyi didn’t understand the situation, just watching Pei Xingyuan’s furious demeanor, unsure of what to do, when someone beside her explained, "Xingyuan’s nickname is Ah Dan. He’s hated being called that since he was a child. Every time he provokes Miss Lei, she’ll have people drum through the streets calling his nickname."
