What's wrong with me?

Qi Xia's face was red, his eyes flickered with some uneasiness, and he felt a little hazy, as if he was drunk. He felt that his body temperature seemed to be a little high for some reason, and he wanted to keep some distance from his aunt to cool down his brain, but after trying, he couldn't bear to let go.

He glanced at his aunt lying beside him, feeling a little anxious and uneasy. It would be fine if they were in a place where there were no one around, but now they were on a busy street. He thought that such a posture was too intimate, and if Sister Shihan saw it, they might be misunderstood. But looking at his aunt's bright eyes like spring water, he paused for a moment, and he could only let her do what she wanted.

"Are you ready? You can go in now."

Lin Shihan came over and looked at the intimate posture of Qi Xia and Wan Xia beside them. She frowned slightly but said nothing.

Now is not the time for her to intervene, she has to continue waiting.

After just one look at the brightly lit hotel in front of her, she whispered to the couple in front of her who looked like a couple but were actually just aunt and nephew.

Chapter 242 Dinner Party

It was around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the busiest time of the nightlife in this charming city. The huge hotel lobby was brightly lit, and people were coming in and out of the main entrance one after another. Qi Xia held hands with his aunt, and walked into the agreed hotel with Sister Shi Han, who was also leaning very close to him for some reason.

Because he was surrounded by such beautiful aunt and sister Shihan, Qi Xia already felt many eyes on him even before entering the hotel. The receptionists at the hotel entrance had bright smiles on their faces. Under their guidance, Qi Xia went to the second floor with his aunt and sister Shihan.

The second floor is the banquet hall of this hotel. It is usually rented out to people who have happy events at home, want to celebrate, and hold banquets. But today, this hall was rented out by a group of young people who looked like they had just graduated from college.

Intricate and gorgeous crystal chandeliers hung on the bright and spacious ceiling, illuminating the entire hall. Although it was not a very expensive hotel, the decoration of this banquet hall was very exquisite and pleasant.

As soon as he entered the hall, Qi Xia heard a burst of lively laughter and conversation. Many people had already come into the hall. A rough estimate was that there were about thirty or forty people, all of whom looked to be in their twenties. They should be classmates of my aunt from the same school.

Qi Xia had thought that such an occasion would be more formal, just like the only time he had attended a company dinner party. However, the atmosphere was not what Qi Xia had imagined. Instead, it was very light-hearted. Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they were friends who had not seen each other for a long time, chatting happily together. From time to time, one could even hear the unbridled laughter of a few boys bragging.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, everyone is young and has only graduated from college for a few years. Although most of them already have stable jobs and income, the youthful enthusiasm has not yet been wiped out by the pressure of life. It's a pity that Qi Xia never had the opportunity to attend such a class reunion because he was never invited.

"Wow! The only two golden flowers of our Nanshan University are here, and they brought a guest with them!"

When my aunt and Sister Shihan appeared in front of the door of the banquet hall, someone noticed their arrival almost immediately. A slightly surprised voice was heard in the crowd. Almost immediately, Qi Xia saw that almost everyone in the hall turned their eyes in his direction.

Although he had long been aware of the beauty of his aunt and Shihan, it was not until now that Qi Xia truly felt how great an impact the charm of these two women beside him had on other people.

Because he was standing between his aunt and Sister Shihan, with his aunt still holding his hand tightly and holding his arm so intimately, Qi Xia could especially clearly feel the eagerness and admiration in the gazes in front of him. Most of these gazes were from men, and Qi Xia could even see the amazement and desire in their eyes, but when they saw Qi Xia, these gazes suddenly turned into disappointment.

Although he was not in the direction of the concentrated attention, Qi Xia still felt dizzy. He really didn't like the feeling of being stared at by so many people. At the same time, he was surprised. It turned out that his aunt and sister Shihan studied and lived in such circumstances every day.

"Shihan, you came a little late tonight. I thought you would arrive earlier."

"Hey, isn't this Wanxia? I didn't expect you to come to the class reunion today?"

"Come on, open this side. We female comrades should sit at the table over here. We shouldn't be with the boys."

Several girls waved at my aunt and sister Shihan. It can be seen that they were also my aunt's classmates in college. Although they were not as beautiful as my aunt and sister Shihan, because they were young and had makeup on, they were all very good-looking. When they got together, they actually had a pleasing feeling to the eyes.

Perhaps because he had never experienced such an occasion, Qi Xia, who had previously vowed to accompany his aunt, now felt a little restrained.

The aunt beside him seemed to have noticed it and gently pinched his fingertips, causing Qi Xia to turn his head and look at her. Seeing his aunt restraining her tenderness and love for him, revealing her usual quiet and dignified temperament, Qi Xia felt as if he suddenly had a backbone, and he calmed down.

"Since you're here, come sit for a while, Xiao Xia."

Aunt's smile was still as gentle as ever, and was particularly elegant and charming. After he felt at ease, Qi Xia of course had no objection and followed Aunt and Sister Shihan. However, Qi Xia soon felt a little regretful.

My aunt's classmates seem to often hold large and small reunions to keep in touch with each other, but a formal one like this is only held once a year. Because it is a decision made by everyone together, there will always be a lot of people coming to such a formal reunion, and this time is no exception.

The banquet hall was clearly divided into two parts, the men's side and the women's side. Of course, there were also many people visiting each other. Everyone sat together happily chatting. Since he was with his aunt, Qi Xia naturally followed his aunt and sat on the side with more girls. When Qi Xia had followed his aunt over and looked at the girls in front of him who were the same age as his aunt, he suddenly realized this.

Next to the round table, a dozen female classmates of the same age as my aunt were holding drinks and looking at my aunt and Sister Shihan with smiles on their faces. They were chatting about something, the topics of which Qi Xia could not quite understand, but were mostly related to beauty and makeup. Before Qi Xia could react, a girl with short hair greeted him and my aunt.

"I didn't expect that you, Wanxia, ​​would come to the class reunion with Shihan today. We have held several class reunions in the past two years. Please sit here. There is an empty seat next to me. But Wanxia, ​​why don't you introduce this person to me? Could it be your boyfriend?"

The short-haired woman had a teasing look on her face and was teasing my aunt, as if she had a very good relationship with her.

But when she looked at Qi Xia, for some reason, Qi Xia actually felt a little nervous.

It's not that he was cowardly, but this scene looked familiar to Qi Xia, and he couldn't help but think of the dinner party held by the literature club when he was in college with Yue Ran.

Because most of the participants in the literature club are girls, there are very few boys in the club. Every time the literature club holds a party, it can be said that Qi Xia is surrounded by a group of senior and junior students like now.

The aunt's hand was held together with Qi Xia's. Even though so many people were watching her, she had no intention of letting go. She looked at the short-haired woman in front of her and smiled.

"Long time no see, Han Xue. I'm really not used to this kind of occasion. This is my younger brother, Qi Xia. Shi Han insisted on bringing me here, and I didn't want to come alone, so I brought Xiao Xia along."

Chapter 244 Disgust

"Meng Ziang? He doesn't seem to be here yet. I just saw him say in the group that he would be back a little later..."

It was still Han Xue who answered Lin Shihan, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Tang Wanxia beside her. Although they had never openly flirted, as classmates who graduated together, everyone knew that Meng Ziang was interested in Wanxia. Looking at Tang Wanxia's smile that was still as bright as before, she shook her head and continued.

"Speaking of Meng Ziang, I heard that he just came back from abroad two days ago. Is that true? I didn't expect this guy to be a returnee. He's doing pretty well."

Sitting in front of the round table covered with a hollow tablecloth, Han Xue said curiously. Hearing everyone mention this man named Meng Ziang again, Qi Xia couldn't help but prick up his ears curiously. He always heard them talking about Meng Ziang, and he was really curious about what kind of person this guy who said he was interested in his aunt was. But before Han Xue finished speaking, someone suddenly said, "Speak of the devil, here he comes."

With this reminder, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the entrance of the banquet hall. Qi Xia also looked over and saw a young man with typical overseas returnee elite appearance, very Western clothes and dress, a standard Chinese face, wearing glasses, and a very warm smile on his face.

"Good evening everyone, I'm sorry I'm late."

The man stood at the door and spoke in a voice with a hint of English accent. He had shiny hair, a navy blue suit of high quality that definitely didn't look cheap, and a horizontal and vertical striped tie in a very British style. He looked like a typical returned overseas "elite".

Now is the time when the domestic market is developing rapidly. Because of the huge population market and strong purchasing power, foreign luxury brands that think they are full of aristocratic style have begun to flock into the country. Many brands are well-known, and those who are most eager for these luxury goods are none other than the returnees.

Speaking of studying abroad, Qi Xia actually had the opportunity to go abroad with Yue Ran, but Yue Ran seemed to want to stay in Annan, which they were familiar with, so in the end, this matter naturally came to nothing.

Qi Xia carefully looked at the young man in front of him. He didn't look ugly and had quite a bit of praise. Hearing that he had just recently completed further studies abroad, Qi Xia frowned, thinking that returning home was better than never coming back.

The term "returnees" used to be synonymous with elites, but in recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, more and more news about returnees, of varying quality, has been exposed. In addition, there are those who naturally have a sense of superiority over the domestic people just because they have been abroad, which has gradually given the term a slightly derogatory connotation. It can also be seen that the times are developing bit by bit.

Qi Xia guessed the reason why he returned to China, but guessing was just guessing. Just by looking at his face, Qi Xia couldn't tell what kind of person this guy was. Qi Xia didn't care, but because he heard that he had a different admiration for his aunt, if it was in the past, Qi Xia might think that with his aunt's charm, it would be strange if she didn't have so many suitors. But after going through so much with his aunt, looking at the gentle appearance of the man in front of him, he just couldn't like him. He couldn't help but want to make him live up to the standards he hated.

Qi Xia's frown did not attract anyone else's attention, but the flash of disgust in his eyes was clearly caught by Tang Wanxia beside him. She pinched Xiao Xia's fingertips, and the slender fingertips looked so soft and delicate. Under her long eyelashes, her ethereal eyes were filled with bright water color, which contained greedy expectations.

Although she had hardly spoken a few words to Meng Ziang, and her impression of him was only that of a boring man who occasionally bothered her in college, Tang Wanxia was somewhat grateful to him at this moment. If he hadn't invited everyone to the class reunion, she would probably not have seen the extremely cute Xiaoxia now.

Xiao Xia frowned, obviously not liking this guy named Meng Ziang. As for someone who could make Xiao Xia, who was naturally soft and gentle, dislike him, the only answer left was that Xiao Xia was jealous, or she was jealous of herself!

Being jealous means caring, and caring means liking and wanting to possess. Although Xiaoxia may not even realize it herself, it is of great significance to Tang Wanxia. It means that she is not far away from dyeing her Xiaoxia with a color that belongs only to her.

When she realized this, a blush spread from her neck little by little, and even her ears were tinged with a charming and graceful rouge color. Tang Wanxia's smile became even more charming and beautiful.

She wanted to hug Xiao Xia tightly immediately and tell Xiao Xia that she was Xiao Xia's aunt forever. However, she couldn't do anything out of line in public. She had to secretly put her arms around Xiao Xia's waist from behind when no one was paying attention and their attention was attracted by the man at the door of the banquet hall. She lowered her cheek slightly, kissed Xiao Xia's ear gently, licked it, and bit it a little.

As if he had noticed her mischief, Xiao Xia's soft and warm body suddenly became a little stiff. He turned his head shyly and looked at her, as if complaining or blaming her, but his shy and cowardly look made people want to play more mischief on him, to squeeze out that beautiful and sweet saliva bit by bit and taste it slowly.

"To express my apology, I will pay for all the expenses incurred by everyone tonight. Let's have fun."

"That's what you said, Meng Ziang. Men can't go back on their words. We have to order more delicious food later."

"Got it. Let's ask the waiter to bring two boxes of champagne. Let's open a lot of champagne tonight and bankrupt Lao Meng."

As the man's words rang out, the atmosphere of the party became more lively. When Meng Ziang waved to everyone, Qi Xia, who had been distracted by his aunt's interruption, saw him scanning the crowd as if he was looking for something. When he looked in the direction of himself, his aunt, and Sister Shihan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked towards Qi Xia's direction.

"Long time no see, Wanxia. I didn't expect you to come tonight. I thought you wouldn't come to the class reunion as usual."

Power outage

It rained heavily for most of the day today. Just when I wanted to write, the power went out in the community. My phone was almost out of battery, and I forgot to charge my power bank, so I sent it directly. So today, it’s raining heavily.

Chapter 245 Doubts

When the man in front of her accurately found her and her aunt in the banquet hall and came in front of her and her aunt, only a moment passed.

When the man came in front of Qi Xia and his aunt, Qi Xia, who still seemed to be hugged by his aunt from behind, noticed that his aunt frowned silently. The smile on her flawless face, which had made Qi Xia blush and heartbeat just now, disappeared, and turned into the calmness and indifference that Qi Xia was familiar with when facing strangers.

"I just flew back from abroad a few days ago. I wanted to visit you, but I never found the chance."

But the man in front of him didn't seem to notice all this. It seemed that he still had a calm smile on his face because of his confidence brought by his status as an overseas returnee and his wealthy family conditions.

If it were another woman, with such a confident smile, coupled with her good looks and elegant dress, she might immediately be attracted to the man in front of her. Even if she had no other intentions, she would at least take a closer look. But unfortunately, the person in front of her was her aunt.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Qi Xia secretly turned his head to glance at his aunt's expression. When his aunt showed such a calm and even indifferent expression, it might not necessarily mean hate, but there would still be some disgust and rejection.

And the aunt also found that he was secretly looking at her. When she looked at him, a smile appeared in her eyes for a moment, like spring water that had suddenly thawed, warm and pleasant. But when the aunt looked at the man in front of her again, the bright spring water immediately turned into three feet of frozen ice, emitting a slight chill.

"Long time no see, Meng Ziang. I heard that you have been doing well abroad in the past few years? As for visiting me, forget it. If you come as an old classmate to simply express your condolences, it's ok. If you have any other ideas, it's better not to come. I don't want you to disturb the lives of Xiao Xia and me."

"Really? Then how about I invite you for a drink as an old classmate? Wanxia, ​​you won't refuse this honor, right?"

As if he didn't hear the rejection in his aunt's words, he still spoke with a smile. Qi Xia could see that because of the confidence brought by his good family background, the man in front of her was not the type who would give up easily.

When he was pursuing Yue Ran, he had seen many competitors like this. He always hated such people. They didn't know how to give up even when rejected and would often cling to them, which gave Yue Ran a lot of headaches at that time.

But no one knew what tricks Yue Ran used at that time. After a brief period of persistence, these guys quickly gave up. Even when they met them at the end, they even avoided Yue Ran. No one knew what Yue Ran did to have such a good effect.

Although he was very curious about Yue Ran's methods and wanted to learn them so that he could use them to deal with those guys who were also pestering his aunt, it was obvious that Qi Xia was not Yue Ran, and Yue Ran, who was just a stranger now, would not teach him. But Qi Xia also knew that now was the time for him to speak up.

"Xiaoy...Sister, who is this person?"

Qi Xia spoke at the right time, and the aunt, who had just looked a little unhappy because of the entanglement of the man in front of her, immediately showed an elegant and beautiful smile. Her snow-white neck was stained with a graceful blush, and her hands were tightened behind her back, as if she really wanted to pull Qi Xia into her arms and hug him tightly.

"He's just an ordinary classmate of my sister's in college. Don't worry."

When Qi Xia's voice sounded, he noticed Qi Xia's presence, and the man in front of him frowned deeply. In fact, Meng Ziang was really uncomfortable. He finally saw his goddess from college, and his attention had been focused on Wan Xia. He didn't even notice that there was a man next to Wan Xia, and he seemed so close to Wan Xia.

Since his freshman year, when he first met Wanxia, ​​he was amazed by this gentle and quiet girl. His family was well off as they were in business, and he had seen all kinds of beautiful women since he was a child, but no one could give him the special feeling that Wanxia gave him.

As he spent more time studying at school, he came into contact with Wanxia more and more. From nodding to each other in the beginning, to being able to talk to each other more or less later, he began to care about her more and more. She always had an elegant and natural aura, and her manners were decent and generous. She was so talented and proficient in musical instruments, calligraphy and painting. If he had not heard from the girls in the same class that Wanxia lived in Nanshan, he would even have thought that Wanxia was a daughter from a famous family.

Such a Wanxia can indeed be called his goddess, making him infatuated with her. When looking at her, he can't help but be infected by the calm and quiet aura on her, making him feel that the women he had met and been with before were all pretentious. When you have seen better ones, those who were just ordinary ones will naturally no longer catch your eye. It's just such a simple truth that once you have seen the sea, you will never be impressed by other waters.

He has been pursuing Wanxia for several years, from the time she first entered college to the time she graduated and up to now. He has given her countless gifts, but he has never received any response.

He thought that he was not good enough to win Wanxia's favor. In order to be worthy of such a Wanxia, ​​and given that Wanxia had such a calm attitude towards all opposite sexes, he did not have to worry about anyone snatching his way. So after graduating from university, he chose to study abroad. However, when he came back, he saw his goddess hugging another man in her arms.

But it's not entirely true to say that he felt uncomfortable and painful. If the boy in front of him was a young man of the same age as him, it would be fine. He would either give up or compete. But he was just a teenager, and he just heard him call Wanxia sister. He was really full of doubts. He didn't dare to ask, and it was not easy to argue, for fear that others would say he had bad intentions and was having wild thoughts.

He knew that Wanxia had a nephew whom she loved very much. In order to please Wanxia, ​​he specially gave Wanxia a lot of things that her nephew could use. However, this was the first time he heard that Wanxia actually had a younger brother. What's more, the attitude of the young man in front of him seemed to be somewhat unfriendly.

"Wanxia, ​​is this your brother? He looks very close to you. Little brother, how old are you this year?"

Chapter 246 Charming

The man in front of him looked at Qi Xia. Although his expression was not ugly, it was obvious that he was not very happy. The smile he forced seemed a little stiff. When he saw Qi Xia looking at him, he immediately became gentle and polite.

But what he said almost made Qi Xia unable to speak. Although Qi Xia was six years younger than his aunt and only a little over 1.7 meters tall, and when his aunt wore high heels she was even taller than Qi Xia. In addition, his face looked younger than his actual age. Even though he was a senior in high school, he was sometimes mistaken by others for a freshman. But being called "little brother" by a man who was close to his aunt's age still made Qi Xia feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

Although the man in front of him did not do anything overly rude, Qi Xia's attitude towards him became even more negative.

He did not answer Meng Ziang's words, but continued to look at his aunt, making her flawless face flush and her bright eyes misty. Tang Wanxia, ​​who was always well-mannered, seemed to be distracted by the look and did not seem to hear what the man next to her had just said to her.

"My name is Meng Ziang. I'm your sister's classmate in the same major. Your sister and I were also seniors in the same club when we were in college. Nice to meet you."

Meng Ziang felt a little awkward, as if he was being deliberately ignored. Seeing that Qi Xia and Tang Wanxia had no intention of paying attention to him, he had to introduce himself. He explained carefully, thinking that if they were just an ordinary brother and sister, this boy would not be so hostile to him right away. But before figuring out the relationship between this boy and Wanxia, ​​he still tried his best to show his friendliness... even though the other party's attitude towards him could not really be called friendly.

Qi Xia frowned. As someone who had been to college, Qi Xia knew clearly that people like seniors and seniors were really hard to like.

It's not that they are so bad, but when I think back to when I was pursuing Yue Ran, there were always all kinds of "seniors" who wanted to squeeze Qi Xia out by saying that they were older than Qi Xia and knew more about the school. It was really hard to like them. When Qi Xia heard Meng Ziang say this, his impression of him suddenly became a little worse.

After hearing Meng Ziang's self-introduction, but seeing that he still seemed full of confidence, Qi Xia suddenly had the urge to compete with his aunt's suitor. Although he was his aunt's nephew, no matter who he was, he didn't want to give up his beloved aunt.

"Hello, my name is Qi Xia, and I'm sister Wan Xia's boyfriend." Facing Meng Ziang, Qi Xia said this while biting his tongue. In order to make his attitude look more serious and solemn, he even changed the way he addressed his aunt to be more suggestive.

After saying this, Qi Xia's cheeks turned red, because he clearly heard the group of classmates around him who had just teased his aunt burst into laughter, and Sister Shi Han next to him looked at him with an inexplicable look. For some reason, Qi Xia felt a little creepy.

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is of course the opinion of his aunt. Qi Xia glanced at his aunt nervously, but found that for some reason, his aunt's beautiful cheeks were even redder than his, and seemed to have some fine sweat. Her cheeks were like fire, and her whole body was trembling. Her soft and quiet eyes were staring at him tightly, and the charming water color in them was like smoke and fog, as if she was indulging, as if she was loving, and as if she was desperately enduring something...

But at least that expression definitely didn't show dissatisfaction with Qi Xia, so looking at his aunt like that, Qi Xia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little more confident.

Meng Ziang in front of him was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, but suddenly he couldn't help laughing: "Wanxia, ​​your brother is really interesting. He looks like he is still in high school, first or second year? He can't help but pursue you at such a young age. Your charm is really irresistible even to children."

He praised Tang Wanxia calmly. After all, which girl doesn't like others to praise her beauty and charm?

Meng Ziang's reaction made Qi Xia even more unhappy. He didn't mind being told that he was young, but he didn't want to be told that he and his aunt were not a good match because of the big age gap. Qi Xia retracted his businesslike smile and became expressionless.

"Mr. Meng, your statement is indeed quite funny, but I don't find it funny. I even feel a little pitiful for you. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Meng Ziang frowned awkwardly when asked this question. He looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion. The young man gave him a sense of threat when he was serious.

"Mr. Meng, do you know my actual age? How old do you think I am?"

"Fifteen, or sixteen, you look about this age. Even if you are a little older, it won't be much different. I'm afraid you really can't be Wanxia's boyfriend at this age." Meng Ziang's mouth was stiff, and his smile was a little unnatural. He really didn't expect that such a young boy would not be discouraged because of his age disadvantage when facing him. On the contrary, it made him feel completely oppressed.
