Ningguang responded with her usual elegant attitude, indicating that Su Chen didn't need to take it too seriously.
At this moment, a straightforward remark cut through the delicate balance in the air. Only Beidou dared to refute Ningguang so directly, "I've clearly said it's inappropriate, why can't you understand?"
Beidou's voice was full of disdain. She rolled her eyes at Ningguang with her iconic one eye, then turned to Su Chen and said generously, "Ignore her. Come sit over here. It's more lively for us who like to drink to sit together, and it's also convenient to clink glasses, right?"
Su Chen actually felt a little helpless. He didn't particularly like drinking, nor did he intend to avoid Ningguang. He just thought it was inappropriate for him to occupy such a prominent position in such a formal occasion.
But since no one seemed to mind, he no longer held on to his original concerns.
However, just as Su Chen was about to accept Beidou's enthusiastic invitation, he found himself in a dilemma.
He didn't want to offend Ningguang, nor did he want to reject Beidou's kindness. Especially when Ningguang and Beidou occupied opposite seats respectively, it was obviously unrealistic to choose a middle seat.
This situation made Su Chen feel particularly difficult. The banquet had not yet begun, but he encountered unexpected difficulties simply in choosing seats.
In a dilemma, Su Chen turned to Keqing, who had always understood his feelings, hoping that she could provide a solution that was both satisfactory and would not offend anyone.
As the Yuheng star who always provides help at critical moments, Keqing did not disappoint him.
After she caught Su Chen's pleading look, she nodded slightly, reassuring him with an imperceptible movement.
“We are gathered here today just to share a happy time as friends. Although this banquet is called a celebration banquet, it is actually no different from a family dinner.
Therefore, there is really no need to be too particular about the choice of seats, Su Chen, just sit wherever you like."
Keqing spoke in her calm and charming tone, just as capable as she usually was in handling affairs.
Su Chen’s inner thoughts: “…”
Such an answer is almost like no answer at all. He sought Keqing's help precisely because he was having difficulty making a decision!
Before Su Chen had time to complain more about Keqing's "solution", Keqing casually added, "If it's really hard to make a choice, why not just sit next to me.
Sitting with an old friend should make you feel more at ease.”
Su Chen: “???” He couldn’t believe it. What was originally a simple matter of choosing a seat had turned into a tense situation as if fighting for the last piece of cake.
Is this the so-called "sweet trouble" caused by excessive charm?
At this moment, facing the olive branches extended by three beauties, Ningguang, Beidou, and Keqing, Su Chen truly felt the difficulty of choosing.
Each option has its appeal, but you also don’t want to disappoint others with your choice.
This situation made Su Chen ponder secretly what to do so as to maintain courtesy without hurting the feelings of either party.
Although Su Chen was troubled by the choice he was facing, it was obviously not the time for him to indulge in the difficulty of making a choice. Although Keqing's proposal was well-intentioned, it inevitably triggered reactions from others.
"Keqing, it's not fair for you to say that."
Beidou's words were joking, but also serious. "Is our friendship with Su Chen not as deep as yours? Su Chen, aren't you right? Aren't we partners who have been in the same boat for a long time?"
That’s right, don’t talk about others.
Beidou alone already has a deep friendship with Su Chen.
Before, when they were in Qun Yu Pavilion, Beidou had forced himself on her.
Had a very in-depth exchange with Su Chen.
Isn’t this 25 centimeters of friendship deep enough?
After hearing what Beidou said, Su Chen was speechless for a moment. Although he understood that Beidou meant to emphasize the deep friendship between them, Beidou's way of expression was always difficult to understand directly.
"Yes, yes, I completely understand what Big Sister means. We do have a lot of common experiences."
Beidou's hearty laughter revealed a sense of frankness. "See, these are just small things. We sailed together, explored together, and drank together. This friendship cannot be expressed in words."
"Su Chen, you're welcome, come and sit down, we'll drink till late tonight!"
Beidou's enthusiasm is like a burning flame, irresistible.
Su Chen felt the enthusiasm that was almost swallowing him up, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is it true that Beidou likes him so much?
Or is she just worse at hiding her true emotions than the others?
At this moment, before Su Chen could make a decision, Ningguang and Keqing immediately expressed their opinions.
Ningguang's voice was calm but firm. "Su Chen, your seat is here. Don't worry too much. Tonight's banquet is for everyone to enjoy together."
"Moreover, your place in our hearts is far more than just an ordinary traveler."
Keqing also added, "Indeed, we are gathered together today not to pay attention to seating arrangements, but to celebrate our friendship and shared memories."
"Su Chen, no matter where you sit, we are best friends."

Chapter 501: Participating in the Qunyu Pavilion Banquet
Faced with the various invitations and expressions of the three girls, Su Chen felt as if he was in a warm and slightly complicated choice.
Everyone's words revealed their concern and care for him, making him feel an unprecedented sense of belonging and warmth of friendship on this warm night.
At this warm and delicate banquet, Su Chen found himself in an unprecedented dilemma.
As Ningguang and Keqing each expressed their willingness to invite, Su Chen felt a gentle siege coming from all sides.
"Su Chen, you have helped me a lot in the past period of time. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. If I cannot give you the respect you deserve at today's banquet, I will feel uneasy."
Keqing was not to be outdone and said gently, "I was unable to celebrate the Lantern Festival with you before, and I have always felt sorry for that. If you are willing to sit next to me tonight, I would be very happy."
Faced with this situation, Su Chen couldn't help but feel more troubled. What he thought was a simple seat selection turned into a public emotional expression meeting, and everyone showed him their kindness and expectations without any reservation.
However, this "happy trouble" is more like a "terrible choice" for Su Chen.
Choosing which lady to sit next to seems like a simple question, but for Su Chen, it is tantamount to being forced to make a decision on "who do you like more" - an unsolvable and fatal question.
As the three ladies looked at him expectantly after the invitation, Su Chen felt the pressure doubled. He even regretted why he sprayed the charm potion again before coming to such a crowded place.
It should have been washed off thoroughly beforehand to avoid any possible complications.
Now, standing in the center of the banquet, being noticed by three beauties of different styles, Su Chen felt both honored and confused.
He began to wonder if this banquet was really just for celebration, or if it had turned into an emotional choice battle that he had to face? In such an occasion, every step must be taken carefully so as not to hurt the hearts of either party.
When Su Chen's worries reached their peak, the last two expected guests finally walked slowly into the banquet hall, as if bringing him a glimmer of hope.
His eyes were immediately attracted by a touch of freshness and tenderness. The arrival of Ganyu and Shenhe seemed to inject a breath of fresh air into this magnificent occasion.
"Are we not late?" Ganyu's voice was clear and calm, while Shenhe had a gentle smile. The two had different temperaments, but they both exuded the air of fairies that were untainted by the dust.
"Not at all. You came at the perfect time."
Su Chen responded almost in a tone of relief. His enthusiasm even surpassed that of the host of the banquet, Ning Guang. He eagerly invited them to take a seat, as if he had found a perfect reason to get rid of the previous embarrassing situation.
"Please choose your seat, the banquet is about to begin."
There was welcome in Su Chen's voice and a genuine smile on his face.
Shen He said with a hint of joking, "Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for us?"
Su Chen responded with a gentle smile, but he was thinking in his heart that after they chose their seats, his choice would become easier.
The guests around began to comment one after another, some jokingly, some with a hint of displeasure, and some showing envy.
These complex reactions made Su Chen's smile gradually become stiff, and his expression also changed with the comments around him, from relaxed to embarrassed. He almost didn't dare to turn his head to face the complex looks that might be cast at him.
"Su Chen is so lucky to have a fairy by his side."
"That's good now. Su Chen can finally sit down with peace of mind."
"Alas, we mortals can only look up to the immortals."
During the conversation, some people revealed good-natured ridicule, while others could not hide their disappointment.
Su Chen felt deeply at this moment that even in such a happy gathering, the subtlety and complexity of human hearts were not so easy to deal with.
He secretly hoped that the party tonight would go smoothly without any more embarrassment or conflicts.
At this unexpected celebration party, Su Chen felt as if he was in an unexpected battle for talent.
I originally thought it was a simple seat selection, but I didn't expect it to turn into a headache-inducing Shura scene.
"What's going on? Is this what I have to deal with just because I'm so popular?"
Su Chen sighed inwardly. Everyone was sitting at the same table. Did it make such a big difference where they sat?
The atmosphere around was far from harmonious; instead, it made people feel an inexplicable pressure.
Even Shen He, who was always open-minded, seemed a little uneasy in this atmosphere. His eyes, which were usually full of curiosity and innocence, now revealed confusion, as if silently asking Su Chen: "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Su Chen knew in his heart that Ningguang and the others were waiting for him to make a choice first.
So, he decided not to hesitate any more and planned to solve the problem in a seemingly random but decisive way: close his eyes and point to a location at random, even if he pointed to a person, he could only accept the arrangement of fate.
Just as he was about to act on this plan, a slight pulling sensation made his mind pause.
When he looked down, he saw Qiqi gently pulling his sleeve. Her eyes were clear and pure, as if they could cleanse all distracting thoughts in a person's mind.
Qiqi's voice was soft and warm, as if it carried a healing power: "The coconut milk that Brother Su Chen gave me before was delicious. You are a good person. Brother Su Chen, come and sit next to me."
This sudden and simple invitation was like a stream of fresh air flowing through Su Chen's heart.
He suddenly realized that perhaps in this complex social situation, what is most needed is nothing more than a pure heart and simple companionship.
Qiqi's proposal undoubtedly gave Su Chen the best solution.
Not only does it avoid the embarrassment of directly rejecting others, but it also allows you to find a quiet haven in this noisy night.
For Su Chen, this choice not only reflects respect for everyone, but also preserves his inner peace.
So, he accepted Qiqi's invitation with a smile. This decision not only freed him from the embarrassing situation, but also made him feel unprecedented ease and comfort.

Chapter 502: Being fed by Shen He
Ningguang stood up as the host of the banquet and delivered a speech. Her voice was filled with solemnity and joy:
“I am honored to have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful moment with all the friends present here tonight. It is a great pleasure to have a drink and chat with you over delicious food and wine on such a beautiful night.”
However, before Ningguang finished her elegant speech, she was interrupted by Beidou's straightforwardness. She encouraged everyone to start eating in her usual heroic style. This sudden change made the atmosphere of the banquet more lively.
Su Chen noticed that Ningguang's eyes would occasionally glance at him when she spoke and sat down, so often that he felt a little uneasy. Her attention seemed to convey some meaningful emotion.
