C21 – What Can You Do to Me?

“Come on, let’s play with the archery set,” Zhao Sanlang mentioned with a smile to Tang Yue, main him to the throwing space. He was clearly making an attempt to lighten the temper.

Tang Yue glanced at Feng Qingyue, who was sort and amiable, after which on the man who was lined in oil and had a lascivious grin on his face. He felt a knot kind in his chest.

It was a pity that such a good man couldn’t be his brother-in-law.

He picked up an arrow and aimed on the clay pot ten meters away. The primary arrow didn’t even come shut. The onlookers sneered. The second arrow grazed the pot’s rim however nonetheless missed. Reluctantly, they applauded when the third arrow struck the goal squarely. Gasps have been heard from the spectators.

With every arrow that Tang Yue shot, the group grew extra enthusiastic. Even Xu Ziheng, who disliked him, clapped and cheered when he completed firing ten arrows.

“Superb! Completely unbelievable!” Zhao Sanlang exclaimed, circling round Tang Yue. “How did you handle it?”

Everybody may inform that this was Tang Yue’s first time enjoying this sport. He missed the goal together with his first arrow, but he someway turned bolder with every shot. He hit eight out of ten arrows, a feat that no person else in attendance may match.

Tang Yue applauded himself and glanced at Zhao Sanlang. “Do you actually need to know the key?”

Zhao Sanlang nodded vigorously, and the viewers leaned in to pay attention.

“Sadly, I’m not within the temper to share it with you at this time.” With a nonchalant shrug, Tang Yue left all of them guessing and walked away to get some meals.

To please the younger noblemen, the Prefecture had put in nice effort to arrange a backyard feast with quite a lot of delicacies. A bunch of attractive maids was additionally current to serve them.

Tang Yue took a sip of the wine, however it was very gentle, simply barely stronger than beer, and it didn’t style good.

Wine was a luxurious merchandise throughout this time. Solely the rich may afford to get pleasure from it since meals was scarce, and utilizing up a major quantity to make wine was not sensible.

Zhao Sanlang chatted with him for a bit, however when he seen that Tang Yue was nonetheless not in excessive spirits, he didn’t trouble him anymore. He tried to cheer him up and left to play Cuju with the others.

Tang Yue wasn’t good at sports activities. He had beforehand performed basketball and tennis after work, however he was solely common, and he had by no means performed soccer earlier than. He discovered a seat and sat down, watching the sport and deep in thought.

Somebody sat subsequent to him, and he glanced over. It was Xu Ziheng.

“Why aren’t you enjoying with them?” Tang Yue requested.

Xu Ziheng snorted and shook his head. “That’s one thing solely wild barbarians play. I’m not keen on it.”

Tang Yue checked out Xu Ziheng’s delicate body and slender, truthful arms and nodded in understanding. This child clearly wasn’t into sports activities.

They sat in silence for some time till Tang Yue heard a query whispered in his ear, “Why did you name me ugly?”

Tang Yue found that Xu Ziheng was ready for him there. He scrutinized Xu Ziheng’s face rigorously and seen that, aside from his truthful complexion, there was nothing extraordinary about him. He was definitely handsome, however a grown man carrying make-up was considerably unusual to him.

“You’re not unattractive. It’s simply that the make-up in your face is unappealing. You’d look a lot better in case you washed it off.” Referring to a person as “lovely” was not precisely a praise.

Xu Ziheng paid no thoughts to Tang Yue’s comment. In his opinion, this was the present development. He merely thought that Tang Yue lacked an eye fixed for magnificence. “How unsophisticated!”

Tang Yue had no intention of imposing his aesthetic sense on anybody. He couldn’t go in opposition to the prevailing development, nor may he change it. He was content material with being an unobtrusive and handsome man on the sidelines.

After observing Xu Ziheng for some time, Tang Yue discovered the interplay to be pointless and determined to depart. He was a middle-aged man in his forties and had misplaced curiosity in enjoying video games.

He needed to interrogate Tang Ya instantly to see if she knew about her fiancé’s true nature. He additionally deliberate to confront his father, who had seemingly failed to analyze his daughter earlier than her marriage.

Nevertheless, Xu Ziheng claimed that everybody in Ye Metropolis was conscious of his previous. It was unlikely that Tang Shoucheng, who was to be his father-in-law, was unaware of it.

Once they arrived on the ladies’ gathering spot, Tang Yue seen that they have been enjoying with a chook. As he approached, he realized that it was an Eighth Brother chook. The ladies have been amazed by the chook’s capability to talk.

Tang Yue cleared his throat and mentioned, “Excuse me, girls. I’ve come to fetch Ya and Ah Wan again residence.”

“It’s nonetheless early. Why the push to depart?” County Princess Huizhu was involved and had a positive impression of the younger man.

The woman who had questioned his identification earlier lined her mouth and taunted, “Might it’s that he was kicked out by these individuals? Zhao Sanlang and his group should not the sort to play good. Hehe…”

This woman had a pointy tongue!

“Younger woman, you have to be joking. Sanlang may be very pleasant. Now we have already agreed to talk at a later time. Earlier than leaving, my mom had instructed me to convey my sisters again residence as quickly as doable.”

“Not possible! Zhao Sanlang solely is aware of the best way to socialize with good-looking males. How may he ever be keen on you…”

A crisp slap interrupted the woman’s phrases.

“Tang Shi Ya, how dare you hit me!” The sound of her high-pitched voice echoed via the environment, silencing the group immediately.

“When you hit me, then so be it. What are you able to do to me?” Tang Ya held her sister’s hand and walked in the direction of Tang Yue. Her haughty demeanor made Tang Yue shake his head and smile.

This woman had a fiery temperament, however… she was nonetheless reasonably cute.
