The next day. Eastern Tang Restaurant. At a reserved room on the third floor.
A burst of laughter echoed, joyful and amiable. That was mine and Sheng Yin's elder brother, Sheng Shao's. He was a handsome young man at Viscera Purifying 3rd rank. Famous, rich, and talented; he was the envy of boys and crush of girls in this city.
Long black hairs like his sister's and a wide shoulder like mine. His smile reminded me of something. It told me that he hadn't faced a setback yet in his life. He seemed to have just stepped on his twenties and there was still no mention of whiskers on his face.
''Brother Shao,'' with my signature move of making relationships with anyone, I said, ''Your sister is a very good-natured girl. That day, I was rude to her but she still didn't mind.''
I turned to Sheng Yin, ''I am sorry.''
