In the private room, Luo Yang was rather ill at ease facing Chen Jie and Zhu Li.
Both women were experienced and quite relaxed in conversation.
For someone like Luo Yang, who lacked much social experience, listening was his main contribution.
Chen Jie, aware of Zhu Li's interest in Luo Yang, teased, "Niu Zai, I'm going to tell you a secret."
Zhu Li had the biggest reaction to that statement.
"Shut up and buzz off!" Zhu Li spat out a ring of smoke, lightly scolding.
From the moment Zhu Li first saw Luo Yang, she realized he was no ordinary youth.
Assessing people seems like a mysterious thing.
But indeed, there are clues to follow.
For example, first look at a person's facial features, then discern their character, and finally deduce their future prospects by combining all aspects of their condition.
Zhu Li had a unique perspective in judging people, knowing that Luo Yang wasn't someone who would remain in obscurity.
If one day Luo Yang became renowned far and wide, Zhu Li wanted to stick with him.
Therefore, Zhu Li especially appreciated Luo Yang.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew Luo Yang already had a girlfriend, An Yuying, Zhu Li would have likely proposed to be his girlfriend herself.
Zhu Li disliked stealing someone else's man, so she could only wait for an opportunity.
As Zhu Li's close friend, Chen Jie wanted to reveal the secret for her.
But Zhu Li was particularly reluctant to do so herself.
When Chen Jie was about to reveal the secret in Zhu Li's heart, Zhu Li was genuinely a bit angry.
"Lili, what's the use of bottling it up inside? Let me say it for you." Chen Jie blew a big smoke ring towards Luo Yang's face.
Luo Yang closed his eyes.
"Sister Chen, don't spray me," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Niu Zai, I want to tell you that actually, Lili she..."
But before Chen Jie could finish, Zhu Li interrupted her.
"Don't you prattle about Uncle Zhu's matters, or else, I'll cut out your tongue! Did you hear that? Niu Zai, don't listen to her," Zhu Li said, rising to come over.
"Sister Kick, what secret?" Luo Yang asked, interested.
He had a vague idea.
This was, in fact, asking knowingly.
Pretending to be completely unaware would seem insincere.
Chen Jie giggled, "Niu Zai, let me tell you. But you have to protect me, or Lili will kill me. Let me say, actually, Lili..."
When Zhu Li got up and walked over, Chen Jie could only hide behind Luo Yang and laugh.
"Niu Zai, come here!" Zhu Li beckoned.
"Niu Zai, I want to tell you a secret, don't go." Chen Jie laughed.
Seeing her friend fond of Luo Yang but not daring to confess, Chen Jie felt for her.
As a person known far and wide, Zhu Li was usually quite bold.
Yet now, in the presence of Luo Yang, she lacked the courage to express her feelings, which puzzled Chen Jie.
Zhu Li was reluctant to speak, but Chen Jie wanted to speak on her behalf.
Unfortunately, Zhu Li wouldn't let her do so.
By this time, Luo Yang had also figured out what was going on.
But apart from continuing to play dumb, he saw no other option.
Just as Luo Yang was feeling troubled, An Yuying walked into the private room.
"What are you all doing?" asked An Yuying.
"Sister An, your timing is perfect. I was just about to go find you to talk about something," Luo Yang said.
The savior had arrived; what better time to leave?
Standing up, he said to Chen Jie and Zhu Li, "Sister Chen, Sister Kick, I'll step out for a moment, okay? I'll be back soon."
The room was filled with a faint atmosphere of awkwardness; Luo Yang needed to step outside for a breath of fresh air.
As he left the private room with An Yuying, she asked, "Niu Zai, what's up? I heard you guys laughing and talking inside, what were you discussing?"
Telling An Yuying about the situation would only make her jealous for quite a while.
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Sister An, I want to tell you something, I like you."
Hearing this, An Yuying's pretty face instantly blushed with two rosy blooms.
