Chapter 631: It's a good cat

Not long after, Song Huaixian finally arrived, sneaking in through the side door, his hat pressed low.

His movement upon entering wasn't large, yet he was immediately locked onto by several gazes.

Yu Ci, standing in the middle of the crowd, was the most excited, quickly stepping forward, "Brother Xian! Why did you only come now? I've been waiting for you half a day! Hurry, hurry, hurry, this way please!"

Seeing him like that, Song Huaixian's expression was subtle, and he instinctively stepped back half a step, "Did you take the wrong medicine? I haven't even entered the door yet."

"No, no."

Only when Yu Ci got close did he notice a band-aid on Song Huaixian's face, running from the brow bone to the cheekbone, and another on his neck, the edges reddish.

He exclaimed, "I go!" "Brother Xian, what's up with your face? Did someone beat you?"

Song Huaixian pulled down the brim of his hat, his tone light: "No, just brushed against something."

"Brushed?" Yu Ci didn't believe it, looking him over, "Can brushing cause this? You must have rubbed your face against a wall."

Song Huaixian couldn't be bothered to explain, "Can't you stop studying my face on your birthday?"

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't ask about that." Yu Ci dropped the topic, directly putting his arm around his shoulders, "Where's my gift?"

Caught off guard, Song Huaixian almost stumbled from his lunge, slapping his back twice with his palm, "Let go, let go, we're in public, mind the influence, I'll give it to you later."

If it were someone else's child daring to speak to him like that and still lacking emotional intelligence, he would have already started giving them a cold face for overstepping.

But since they grew up together, or are his sister's good friend, he couldn't be bothered to hold a grudge.

Only then did Yu Ci release him, stepping back with a grin, "I just knew Brother Xian loves me the most."

The expression under Song Huaixian's hat couldn't be read as disgust or speechlessness, "Cut it out."

That's utter nonsense; he clearly dotes on his sister the most!

Song Huaixian distanced himself from him, walking to his sister's table, "Youbao."

Jiang Liangjin glanced at him, "Brother Huaixian, what's wrong with your face?"

Song Huaixian said casually, "Nothing, I just bumped into something by accident."

Mu Youyu also noticed the band-aid on the side of his neck, slightly furrowing her brows, "Brother Huaixian, you should still be careful when driving."

Song Huaixian ruffled the top of her hair, "Got it, baby, I'll be more careful next time, brother."

Saying that, he turned his direction and began pinching his sister's cheeks, "Eat a bit more; you look skinny no matter how I look."

Mu Xin slapped his hand away, "Don't mess around with your sister."

Song Huaixian started ruffling his hair, "If you're jealous, just say it early; brother still cares for you."

Mu Xin pressed his lips together.

Yu Ci popped out from the side again, holding a plate of freshly grilled meat skewers, enthusiastic, almost wanting to shove the skewers onto his face, "Come, eat the skewers, I grilled them myself."

Song Huaixian looked at the plate of unimpressive-looking meat skewers, slowly moved his hand away from Mu Xin's head, picked up a skewer, took a bite, his gaze drifting slightly, "... Not bad."

He had grown tired of eating there during summer vacation at the Mountain Villa.

But why does Gu Xingnan keep staring at him? It's kinda creepy.

Yu Ci immediately straightened his back, "I told you! My grilled meat is number one under heaven!"

Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin silently averted their gazes.

Song Huaixian personally vouched for it, Yu Ci confirmed it was edible, finally going to the other side to hand it to Gu Xingnan, "Come eat, Brother Xian says it's okay."

Was he testing for poison there? Gu Xingnan's expression softened considerably as he took it, "Thanks."

Mu Xi glanced at Yu Ci's plate of meat skewers, "How many layers of sauce did you brush on?"

Yu Ci said confidently, "Four layers."

Mu Xi disdainfully pulled his sister back.

Song Huaixian's chewing slowed slightly, he lowered his head to glance at the skewer, his expression indescribable.

Jiang Liangjin sipped his drink, "Brother Xian, why did your complexion change?"

Song Huaixian put the skewer back on the plate, trying to keep his voice even, "Nothing, it's just a bit salty."

Yu Ci immediately chimed in, "Salty is good, salty means flavorful!"

Song Huaixian: "Hehe."

Over at the front courtyard stage, the music switched to a faster rhythm.

Someone had already stepped onto the stage, clearing their throat into the microphone, while Yu Ci was pushed by several friends toward the stage, said to be preparing to perform.

Gu Xingnan stood at the side of the stage, holding up his phone, already ready to film.

Mu Youyu blinked, "What performance is he preparing?"

Jiang Liangjin laughed, "I don't know, I hope he doesn't blow up the stage."

Song Huaixian leaned back against the chair, his long legs casually stretching under the table, "I also don't know where he gets all that energy, so spirited."

Song Lujing is also full of energy now, speaking up: "Brother Xian, you're old!"

Song Huaixian was amused by the teasing, "Get lost, who told you to talk to me."

Leng Anzhi squeezed through the crowd, holding two cups of mixed juice, handing one to Mu Youyu, "Youbao, guess what he's going to do next?"

Mu Youyu took it, took a sip, it was pretty good, "I don't know."

Leng Anzhi raised an eyebrow, "Just now I passed by backstage and saw him practicing a song on his phone, set to Chu Ge's playlist, and he asked me and Xingnan how we sing."

Mu Youyu's expression was subtle, "How does he sing?"

"Hard to judge." Leng Anzhi answered frankly, "But I won't evaluate him to his face."

Jiang Liangjin also let out a low laugh from the side.

On stage, Yu Ci had already picked up the microphone, a line about birthday celebrations appearing on the screen behind him, then he began singing, his pitch soaring with grand momentum.

Jiang Liangjin listened for a while, then asked, "Who did he learn this song from?"

Jiang Liangjin: "Who did he learn this song from?"

Leng Anzhi: "He's practicing by listening to the original."

Jiang Liangjin said in a flat tone: "I can't tell."

Mu Youyu tilted her head, "Maybe she learned it from Nuomi."

Jiang Liangjin recalled this week's grudge of the cat stepping on his shoes, sighed, "It only steps on my shoes."

This week he came to the Mu Family, and Nuomi's first thing was to step over his shoes, then hop over to Mu Youyu's side.

Mu Youyu corrected: "It only steps on your shoes, but it's a good cat."

Jiang Liangjin reflected for a few seconds, "Did I offend it somewhere?"

Mu Youyu had already laughed enough before; now she righteously didn't laugh at him, "Didn't you eat its little biscuits last week?"

Jiang Liangjin recalled, "That was last week's thing; does it remember until now?"

Mu Youyu nodded firmly, "It's also a grudge-holding cat."

Jiang Liangjin lowered his brown eyes slightly, "What should we do, baby?"

"Just buy it a box."

"Baby is really smart; without baby, I wouldn't know what to do."

"......"

After the song ended, Yu Ci took a quick step forward to Song Yusui, half-crouched, and said, "Brother Yusui, how was my singing just now?"

Song Yusui was happily listening to Jiang Liangjin's talk, hearing this, gave a very fair comment: "Your voice is very lively."

Yu Ci puffed up with pride, "I just said I'm suited for this! Want to consider letting me do it as a side job?"

Song Yusui finally understood why he came to find himself, "Sure, come sign an indenture contract with me, and you'll start training at our company next week."

"...... I was just joking." Yu Ci became earnest.
