817. Chapter 817: Insulted to My Face 8

As soon as I arrived, they started eating, even Zhong An's parents sat down to eat; it was clear that Zhong An's parents doted on him.

Seeing this, I thought of Shangguan Yun; if he saw it, he would surely be envious again.

I don't know what's going on in the Shangguanjia household; why haven't his parents come back to see him.

Zhong An's parents are very open; they chatted easily with us and kept drinking with us.

I unintentionally noticed that Zhong An's mother would occasionally stare at me.

It made me feel ill at ease; could it be that she knows Zhong An likes me and that I rejected him?

I think that's impossible; I'm probably overthinking. Zhong An is a well-behaved boy who studies so well; he certainly wouldn't let his mother know.

Maybe it's because I'm relatively pretty.

Ha ha... that's the best way to console myself.

Originally, Shangguan Yun had repeatedly warned me not to drink, but since everyone was drinking, if I alone abstained I'd seem too out of place; besides, they had just waited for me for so long.

So I drank quite a bit with them, and I felt my face slightly flushed.

But at this moment, everyone raised a toast to the birthday boy, Zhong An.

When it was my turn, I automatically poured myself a full glass of wine, then stood up, raised my cup and said to Zhong An: 'Zhong An, happy birthday and progress in your studies.' That seemed to be the only corny thing I could say.

Moreover, I now feel a bit drunk; how could I think of those nice words?

'Thank you.' Zhong An smiled, gazing at me with affection.

His gaze made me feel uncomfortable and ill at ease, also a bit embarrassed.

Because of his glance, everyone else started looking at me.

Even his parents followed suit and looked at me; how embarrassing.

'Hehe, why are you all staring at me, hehe...' I asked embarrassedly.

I can't let them keep staring at me, can I?
