Chapter 200: Are You Trying to Hit on Me?

Xu Suihe felt this dinner party was truly interesting.

That little girl Cheng Yu, she knew her.

Born into a scholarly family.

Both parents were high-ranking intellectuals.

They had quite a reputation in Ningzhou’s education circles.

Their family’s financial situation was good.

Moreover, she herself was good-looking, and her grades were also good.

Coupled with that calm and intellectual voice, it was unknown how many young boys’ hearts she had captured at No. 14 Middle School.

Yet, such an exceptionally well-endowed girl.

Actually liked Tao Tao, the type of wild boy who liked to hang out on the basketball court.

Tsk tsk.

What was even more interesting, however, was this.

Over at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, there was also a passionate girl who traveled a hundred li to express her affection.

She specifically came from Jiangzhou to Ningzhou to reveal her true feelings at this birthday banquet.

That nearly five-figure watch, she gave it away just like that.

And according to Xia Zhi, who was at the next table.

This rich woman, Ye, came from a very wealthy family.

Although it was unknown what business they were in.

Based on speculation.

It was likely their background was among the top ten in Jiangzhou.

The two girls, one intellectual and affectionate, the other passionate and wealthy.

When they met.

It was like fire and water.

Just during this mealtime.

The two of them, across the table, could even start bickering.

Sarcastic remarks came one after another.

Xu Suihe was extremely amused by it.

She didn’t even know how many cashews she had eaten by herself.

Just then.

A young man from Jiangzhou suddenly came up to Xu Suihe.

“Hello, may I get to know you?”

Hearing the voice.

Xu Suihe turned her head with a smile.

She found it was a young man who looked decent enough.

With a playful mood rising within her.

She smiled slightly:

“Sure, what should I call you?”

“Ma Rui, Class 9, Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School, Tao Tao’s old classmate!”

“Oh~” Xu Suihe nodded meaningfully.

“Is there something?”

“Could I… make friends with you…”

It was obvious.

This young man, under the gaze of Xu Suihe’s charming eyes.

Even his voice was a bit stammering.

Seeing this situation.

Xu Suihe’s smile grew wider.

She opened her mouth with a smile and said:

“Are you trying to hit on me?”

Huh?

In an instant.

The smile on the face of this child named Ma Rui froze.

The next second.

He suddenly coughed.

“Cough cough cough no, cough no, I…”

“If you’re not trying to hit on me, then what’s your purpose in wanting to be friends with me?”

The young man had clearly never seen a girl who spoke so boldly and was also exceptionally beautiful.

He stammered for a while.

Fortunately, at this moment.

Xia Zhi, who was beside them, couldn’t bear to watch anymore and patted the young man’s arm.

“Alright, Sister Suihe isn’t someone you can flirt with.”

“Learn from Huang Jiasheng, if your standards are a bit lower, maybe you’ll still succeed.”

Afterwards.

Watching the young man return to his seat with an embarrassed expression.

Xia Zhi pulled her chair closer to Xu Suihe.

“Whose seat is that reserved for?” She pointed to the empty seat next to Xu Suihe.

Xu Suihe’s lips curved upwards.

“What do you think?”

Hearing this.

Xia Zhi let out a light, ambiguous chuckle.

“She’s really unlucky.”

“To be targeted by both of you at the same time.”

Thinking of a certain person’s clever appearance.

Xu Suihe’s face also involuntarily showed a slight smile.

Then the two of them started chatting back and forth.

After chatting for a while.

Tao Tao returned, freed from the elders’ table.

He greeted them.

Then he held a wine glass.

To the classmates on both sides, he politely raised a toast.

“Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet.”

“My apologies for any inadequate hospitality.”

“Please forgive me.”

After speaking.

A glass of beer went down his throat.

Seeing this.

Cheng Yu suddenly, with her melodious voice, said with concern:

“Tao Tao, even though it’s your birthday today.”

“But alcohol isn’t a good thing, so don’t drink too much, okay?”

After speaking.

Taking advantage of Ye Na’s trip to the restroom.

Cheng Yu once again took out the gift she hadn’t given earlier and handed it to a certain Tao.

“Tao Tao, happy birthday.”

“This is a gift I carefully selected, I hope you can accept it.”

At this moment.

Everyone’s gaze converged.

Everyone seemed to want to see whether Tao Tao would accept this favor from a beautiful woman.

Just as everyone was paying attention.

A “ding-a-ling” phone ringtone suddenly interrupted the progress of this event.

Looking back.

It was Xia Zhi’s phone ringing.

She picked up her phone and looked down at the number.

The next second.

Her crescent-shaped eyebrows raised slightly.

“I’m going out to take a call, you all continue.”

Then she stood up and left.

The phone call was just an interruption.

Everyone’s gaze was still fixed on Tao Tao.

They wanted to see if he would accept it.

At this moment.

Tao Tao raised his hand.

Then, under Cheng Yu’s expectant gaze, he pushed the gift back.

It was still that “sorry.”

It made the proud Cheng Yu freeze in place.

She stared blankly as Tao Tao left.

“He’s really stubborn,” Xu Suihe couldn’t help but murmur.

It was unknown if these words were heard by Cheng Yu.

She suddenly turned around, her eyes slightly red, but her gaze was fixed intently on Xu Suihe.

“Sister Suihe.”

“You and Tao Tao grew up together since childhood.”

“Do you know what he really likes?”

“What, you’re not giving up?” Xu Suihe’s lips curved into a smile, her words full of teasing.

Hearing this.

Cheng Yu pursed her lips and shook her head somewhat stubbornly.

“It’s rare to meet someone I like.”

“I don’t want to give up so easily.”

As she spoke, she squatted down, leaning against Xu Suihe’s chair.

“Sister Suihe.”

“What does Tao Tao really like?”

“Basketball? I can learn to play with him.”

“Games? I can learn those too.”

Seeing Xu Suihe just smiling at her.

Cheng Yu frowned, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Her eyes widened, and she said excitedly:

“I know!”

“Is it music?”

“I’m good at that, ‘Miguo’, ‘Huang Shengjie’, ‘Jiang Jiang’, I can sing many songs by various pop stars.”

Speaking of this.

It seemed to have hit a sore spot for Cheng Yu.

She suddenly clapped her hands together.

“That’s right!”

“Just two days ago, I just learned a new song by ‘Jiang Jiang’.”

“Taking this opportunity, I can totally…”

Just as she was speaking.

The speakers in the restaurant suddenly showed signs of being powered on.

A “zzzz” sound suddenly attracted many people’s attention.

Just as people in the restaurant were looking for the source of the sound.

A graceful young girl.

From the main entrance of the banquet restaurant, with light steps, as if treading on lotus flowers, she walked to the large screen in the banquet hall.

Then.

Under the gaze of many people.

The young girl took a microphone from a nearby waiter.

She said:

“Hello everyone, I am Tao Tao’s friend.”

“Due to being delayed by something, I’m late.”

“And I haven’t prepared a birthday gift.”

“So, I’ll make a fool of myself here and sing a song to express my apologies.”

With a “whoosh.”

Xu Suihe also suddenly stood up from her seat.

Her charming eyes were fixed intently on the graceful figure not far away.

And her unusual reaction immediately attracted Cheng Yu’s gaze beside her.

“Sister Suihe, what’s wrong?”

Cheng Yu asked, puzzled.

Then she stood up, and when her gaze looked into the distance.

The standing figure at the main table nearby was like a needle.

Piercing her heart.

“A song, ‘Nanhai Girl’, dedicated to everyone…”

The next second.

A light and soothing piece of music resounded in the banquet hall.

At first.

With so many people in the hall, hardly anyone was genuinely paying attention to a young girl singing.

Even those who were paying attention were only attracted by the young girl’s pretty and charming face.

However.

The moment the girl opened her mouth.

Everyone present.

To be honest.

Whether it was the uncles chatting loudly, or the aunts gossiping about family matters.

Or Tao Tao’s relatives at the main table quietly eating.

Or the students in the corner, chattering away.

At this moment.

In this instant.

All gazes unconsciously focused on that graceful figure.

[Coconut breeze stirs silver waves, the setting sun peeks from behind clouds]

[On the golden sandy beach, one can see]

[A beautiful girl sitting alone]

[She sighs softly, sighing for that heartless man]

[Thinking of him, tears well up, wetting her red sarong and white dress]

[Ah~ Nanhai Girl]
