"Are you ready?"
Lina's tone was serious as she asked Sheng Jiaoyang.
Sheng Jiaoyang nodded. "Don't worry, I'm not a child. I won't lose control."
Lina smiled and walked together with Sheng Jiaoyang into the banquet hall.
When the two entered, the engagement feast had already started and they were about to exchange rings.
The dazzlingly beautiful woman on the stage wore a big, happy smile as she looked at the young man with a face so beautiful it seemed to have been carved by the gods themselves. They looked perfectly suited for each other.
Sheng Jiaoyang pursed her lips as she watched the man she liked personally slip the ring on somebody else's finger. She'd warned herself inside, now it was enough.
"Jiaojiao?" Lina's worried voice sounded in her ear amongst the applause.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned to smile gently at Lina as she said, "Mei Niu, I'm hungry."
"Come on, let's go over to eat."
The engagement feast had all sorts of western style refreshments. When Sheng Jiaoyang saw these, she felt her appetite suddenly grow as she filled a plate with food.
"You didn't eat on the plane?" Lina saw her attitude and jumped in shock.
"My wound hadn't yet scabbed over, so how could I dare to eat?"
Lina saw the wound on Sheng Jiaoyang's lip and remembered that it was from Demon King Shen's bite. She secretly smiled. You bite me, I bite you. How out of character it was for somebody like Demon King Shen to do that. She looked at Sheng Jiaoyang's expression again. She was originally quite worried, but now it seemed like she could finally relax.
"Nana," someone called.
An elegant, sweet looking woman in a green cheongsam with her hair in an updo walked towards them.
Sheng Jiaoyang was startled and tugged on Lina's arm, sighing as she said, "Aunty Lin's truly beautiful today."
"Mum, did something happen?" Lina asked.
"Come with me, your father wants to introduce a few people to you."
Lin Xuejun looked at Sheng Jiaoyang and smiled slightly, "I'll be taking Lina for a bit, take your time eating."
"Alright, don't worry about me." Sheng Jiaoyang waved her fork.
After watching Lina leave with Aunty Lin, Sheng Jiaoyang took her plate and found a seat next to one of the columns in the banquet hall. She slowly ate the snacks, hissing occasionally at the pain on her lip. She seemed rather inharmonious compared to the other grandly dressed and socialising guests as she just sat in the corner, eating.
"You're also here!" a clear voice said, accompanied by light footsteps.
Sheng Jiaoyang cocked her head and saw Lin Yu. She turned away and continued to eat.
"You don't remember me?"
"My memory's not that bad."
Lin Yu smiled and sat beside her, watching as she devoured all the snacks on the plate, one by one.
After she'd finished, he asked, "Do you know Jiaoyang's current situation?"
Sheng Jiaoyang set down her plate, her gaze wandering around for a while before she finally responded with, "You're still waiting for her?"
"Mm!" Lin Yu's reply was very firm.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned and looked at Lin Yu's face which was so similar to Lin Yan's before suddenly laughing. She couldn't get what she wanted, but what she didn't want wanted her.
