Ch 4.1 – How strange, they have broken up but they are still kissing?
They had arrived a bit early; Feng Ze Jiao"s eldest son had yet to arrive. Mrs. Gu and a few other women came up to greet them, Feng Ze Jiao introduced Meng Ting and then sent him on his own to play.
They were in the Gu family"s courtyard, it wasn"t as if there was danger lurking around every corner. Besides, Feng Ze Jiao couldn"t be bothered with babysitting Meng Ting.
Meng Ting didn"t know what was going on in Feng Ze Jiao"s mind, but he was very wary of the Meng family and it"s a.s.sociates. He did not think that they harbored any good intentions towards him. When Feng Ze Jiao left him on his own, he was relived at finally having the opportunity to find food.
Such gatherings naturally could not do without some drinks and delicacies. With a self-serving method in place, Meng Ting wandered around until he filled his plate and found a seat to eat in.
After finishing off a plate, Meng Ting returned once to the table with a food, pilling on his plate once again. This cycle took place numerous times, however Meng Ting"s eating speed did not decrease even once. Two plates in Meng Ting realized that the sizes of the pastries were quiet small. Tsk, these rich people sure were stingy.
Meng Ting somewhat understood that his current actions were a bit vulgar by the grace of Uncle Wen who had spent an entire afternoon to educate him on the matter. However, he wanted to let people know of his nature as a rice bucket. If they disliked this aspect of him too much and delayed on the marriage, well… that would be too bad. He didn"t want to marry out of one Meng family and into another Meng family with a different name.
Being able to think so much, Meng Ting was very happy with himself. Ah, it really is great to be alive.
Feeling his stomach become full, Meng Ting shifted more of his attention to the small pastries, his speed not diminishing a single bit. Seeing him eat as if the Gu family had tried to bar him from the food, the few ladies of Gu family couldn"t help but laugh.
Braving himself, Meng Ting pilled on another plate, this one higher than the previous. He moved back to his seat before he finally noticed Feng Ze Jiao and her convulsing eye. He hesitated for a moment before leaving the hall.
Meng Ting once again felt lucky that he had eaten so quickly. He had eaten half full before that stingy grandmother of his found him, so he didn"t have to experience that ache brought by hunger. No matter how many times he felt it, it was still very unpleasant.
Meng ting walked under the dim lighting over the flowerbeds, making his way to a remote place. He saw an old tree and made his way to climb it. When he had made his way to a decently well hidden branch, he decided to lay down there.
Meng ting did not want to follow Feng Ze Jiao around and meet people. This was especially true of the people from the Meng household. Be it Feng Ze Jiao"s people or be it Li Ye Fei"s people, he did not want to engage with them. With his brain, it would be a wonder if he wasn"t eaten alive by those wolves.
If they are willing to marry him, Meng Ting couldn"t help but think that both men and women are good.
With early summer breeze blowing, Meng Ting felt fairly comfortable. With a full stomach, he couldn"t help but close eyes for a brief nap. He had only shut his eyes for what felt like five minutes when he was woken by a heated quarrel.
"Meng Qi, I"ve already told you that we"re over!" Su Si Yu told the man standing before him. However, Meng Qi was unwilling to accept such a result.
"Oh, over?" He took a step closer and pressed Su Si Yu against the tree.
Seeing the event transpire in front of his eyes, Meng Ting stared intently. How strange, they have broken up but they are still kissing?
At first Su Si Yu resisted however after a while he gave in to reciprocate the motions. Seeing the pa.s.sionate actions of the two people leaning on the tree, Meng Ting , however stupid he may be, knew that he couldn"t step out now.
It was quiet obvious that the actions of the two parties were meant to be kept secret. If he stepped out now, would they try to… murder?
Meng Ting recovered a part of his vision away from the pair and tried his best to make his breath lighter. He hid himself to the best of his abilities so that no part of him was exposed.
But the two of them kissed for a long time. Such a long time that Meng ting became bored.
"You little hussy, I don"t feed you for a little while and you want to break up with me?" Meng Qi"s hand slipped to a certain area of Su Si Yu"s body, his eyes filled with pa.s.sion. His desire to have a taste of the boy in his arms made his body feel damp. He tried to turn him around.
Su Si Yu took a hold of Meng Qi"s wrist, his back still stuck against the tree trunk. His initial confusion faded away, his gaze becoming firm once again. "Meng Qi, we are breaking up. Now."
Seeing that Su Si Yu was serious, Meng Qi squinted, his face taking on a feeling of danger. He finally let go of Su Si Yu and took a step back. "Why?"
Su Si Yu looked away once, before regaining his resilience. He looked at Meng Qi and firmly said, "We"re just playing around. If you say that your feelings towards me are sincere, would you believe it yourself?"
He raised his eyes to meet Meng Qi, rubbing his wrist gently. "Grandma will arrange a marriage for me and I will take care of my husband."
Meng Qi"s face took on an increasingly dangerous look. He touched gently touched Su Si Yu"s profile once, "Well, I"ll see exactly how well you treat him."
Taking his hand back, he turned and left.
Seeing his back disappear, Su Si Yu followed to leave.
In the tree, seeing the situation below him disperse, Meng Ting let out a sigh of relief. He glanced around to make sure that there was no one around before he jumped down from the tree. But his back went stiff as he saw a person emerge out of a dark corner.
Somehow, finding out that the man had seen him watch the kissing and groping show of the couple made Meng Ting feel distressed. He felt his face heat up.
He hesitated about whether or not if should slip away when the man approached him.
"I…I didn"t mean to do that. I was sleeping in there." Meng Ting said as the man approached him. Perhaps the man was a friend or relative of the two and had come here to silence the witness.
The person stopped two steps away from him, his gaze sinking as he sized up Meng Ting.
Meng Ting thought that the man doubted his words, but he really wasn"t good at talking. For a while he didn"t want to say anything more, after all, the act that had just taken place here had left the atmosphere quiet embarra.s.sing. "I won"t speak about it."
Saying his fill, Meng ting took a step back to leave.
He had yet to fully turn around when the man grabbed his wrist.
Meng Ting, being the invisible boss of his high school, had never experienced such an event. Being grabbed by the wrist at the school would have meant exposing your weakness to your opponent.
Meng ting employed a move to try and shrug off the other man but in the not only did he not get his hand back, the other party had also hugged half of his body.
Of course, this hug was not seen as anything exquisite by Meng Ting, only dangerous.
This person is dangerous, but he cannot beat him. Even more dangerous.
"You are Meng Ting?"
It was somewhere between eight or nine o"clock at the moment, the sky had long turned dark. The flower garden was lit by scattered lanterns.
He could easily recognize this Meng Ting, he had only been presented his profile a little while before the banquet had begun. So when the boy jumped out of the tree, he instantly recognized him.
Of course, Yan Sui didn"t forget to introduce himself, "I am your future husband, Yan Sui."
