A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

When Su Fan finished recording the song and came out of the recording studio, it was already dark.

Linna had already booked the restaurant.

Ye Yun also arrived.

But by sheer coincidence, they ran into Jiang Xiangdong, Han Wentao, Ye Xuan, and others at the restaurant.

The two groups bumped into each other in the hall. Jiang Xiangdong paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Na said, "You little ones are here to eat too. Let me introduce you. This is my younger brother, Su Fan. Please take good care of him in the future. If anyone dares to bully him, don't blame me for being impolite."

Jiang Xiangdong reacted the fastest, stepping forward with a smile and saying, "Sister Na's brother is our brother, Brother Su Fan. If you encounter any trouble in Kyoto in the future, come to us anytime."

Han Wentao smiled and chimed in, "Yes, in Kyoto, if you need anything, just tell us directly."

The others nodded in agreement, exchanging polite words.

Ye Xuan, however, snorted coldly and turned his head away as if he hadn't heard anything.

Ye Yun stood to the side, his brows furrowing slightly.

She looked at Ye Xuan's face, which was full of resentment, and sighed inwardly.

Ye Yun thought that if Ye Xuan said something like "we became friends after a fight" at this moment, he could save face and show his magnanimity.

But Ye Xuan looked unconvinced and resentful.

Lin Na reminded him, "Xiao Xuanzi, I know about what happened between you and Su Fan before. It's all in the past, it's over. Just treat each other the way you normally would from now on."

Ye Xuan remained silent.

At this moment, Ye Yun spoke up: "Be a man, stop being so indecisive."

Jiang Xiangdong quickly stepped in to smooth things over, smiling as he said to Ye Yun and Lin Na, "Sister Yun, Sister Na, Brother Xuan is in a bad mood today, so we're here to keep him company. We'll come to your private room later to offer him a few drinks, which will also serve as a formal introduction to Brother Su Fan."

The two didn't say anything more and led Su Fan into the reserved private room.

As the dishes were served one by one, Linna said, "Shall we have some more drinks today?"

Su Fan quickly waved his hand, his face serious: "Sister Na, we still have to work on the song tomorrow, drinking will only delay things."

Linna thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's have a good drink together after the song is settled."

Su Fan nodded vigorously, already planning in his mind that once the matter was over, he would make a run for it and never give her another chance to drink.

During the meal, Ye Yun casually inquired about Su Fan's family affairs.

"I heard you're an orphan. Why did you end up in an orphanage?"

Su Fan replied, "I've been in the orphanage as long as I can remember."

Ye Yun then asked, "Do you know who your parents are?"

Su Fan shook his head: "I don't know. Aunt Liu told me that I was left at the gate of an orphanage not long after I was born."

"Did Aunt Liu, who raised you, ever mention your parents to you?"

"There were no surveillance cameras back then, how would Aunt Liu know who my parents were?"

Ye Yun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you thought about contacting them?"

Su Fan said calmly, "I haven't thought about it, and there's no need to. No matter the reason, from the moment I appeared at the orphanage's gate, we had no relationship."

Ye Yun opened his mouth, as if to ask something else, but Lin Na suddenly raised her glass and leaned in, interrupting their conversation.

"Hey, Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so fixated on Su Fan's background? Could he be your long-lost younger brother? Stop asking, come on, let's have a drink."

Ye Yun swallowed back the question she hadn't asked.

Ye Yun came today specifically for Su Fan.

From the first time he saw Su Fan, he felt that Su Fan and his father Ye Wangcheng had a similar appearance.

When he got home, he subtly mentioned Qin Province to his father.

Ye Wangcheng looked like he was reminiscing, and said that he was sent to work in the queue there back then.

Upon learning this news, Ye Yun began to suspect that Su Fan might be the illegitimate child of Ye Wangcheng and some other educated youth during his time working in the countryside.

But as her daughter, she couldn't bring herself to ask that question.

So, she came along today when she heard that Lin Na was going to invite Su Fan.

The purpose was to find out about Su Fan's background.

But in the end, they didn't get any answers.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the other private room was not so relaxed.

Jiang Xiangdong said, "How did Su Fan end up hanging out with Sister Na and Sister Yun?"

Han Wentao picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "It should be related to that song 'Green Flowers in the Army,' which caused quite a stir."

Jiang Xiangdong nodded, his tone tinged with emotion: "I thought that kid was finished, but I didn't expect him to get even closer to Sister Na instead."

Han Wentao said, "Sister Na directly said that he is her younger brother, so it will be difficult for anyone to touch him from now on."

Ye Xuan snorted coldly: "Using your looks to get ahead, you're just a pretty boy at heart. Once he's been played with, you'll be nothing."

Jiang Xiangdong's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice to stop him: "You can't say things like that carelessly. If it gets to Sister Na's ears, there will be a lot of trouble."

Ye Xuan grabbed the wine glass and took a big gulp, then said nothing more.

Jiang Xiangdong stood up, straightened his collar, and spoke in his usual amiable tone: "Sister Na and Sister Yun are over there. I'll go offer them a toast."

Han Wentao also stood up, and the others followed suit.

Only Ye Xuan remained still.

Everyone tacitly left the private room without greeting him.

Jiang Xiangdong held a wine glass in his hand, a perfectly timed smile on his face: "Sister Na, Sister Yun, Brother Su Fan, let's raise a toast. After drinking this, we'll all be brothers from now on."

Su Fan politely replied, "I apologize, everyone. We're having tea instead of alcohol today. Please understand."

Before Jiang Xiangdong could speak, Lin Na said first, "I'll drink his wine."

Jiang Xiangdong laughed and said, "Sister Na is so straightforward, I'll drink it, you can do as you please."

Han Wentao and the others also raised their glasses.

Linna accepted all the offers and accompanied each one.

He drank several cups without changing his expression.

Seeing that Ye Xuan hadn't come, Ye Yun felt a surge of anger and disappointment.

After everyone finished toasting, they left, and the door to the private room closed again.

After everyone left, Linna said, "Remember, I drank this drink for you today. You'll have to pay me back after the song is over."

Su Fan said with a serious expression, "Sister Na, I've given up drinking."

Linna laughed and said, "You're going to quit drinking? You'll have to wait until you've finished drinking with me before you quit."

Su Fan started making things up: "My master won't let me drink anymore. Taoists cultivate purity, abstaining from alcohol, meat, anger, and falsehood..."

"You belong to the Taoist sect, not the Buddhist sect. Unless you switch sects, you must drink this wine."

……

Ye Yun, who was listening to their conversation, interjected, "Are you really a member of the Daoist sect?"

Su Fan said, "It's genuine, no doubt about it."

Ye Yun said, "When you released the song 'Little Fairy' before, I thought you were just expressing your feelings. I didn't expect you to actually become a disciple."

At this point, Ye Yun seemed to remember something and asked, "When you said last time that you wanted Nana to spar with your senior brother, were you referring to a senior brother from the Daoist sect?"

Before Su Fan could speak, Lin Na interjected, "Don't pry into the affairs of the Xuanmen. Come on, let's have a drink."
