How could a group of adults have a dinner party and not drink? The atmosphere that had turned slightly reserved upon Song Xuanhe’s arrival quickly heated up again after several glasses of alcohol.

One of Xiao Yuanmu’s coworkers saw that he had been continuously grilling meat and then placing all of it into Song Xuanhe’s bowl. Xiao Yuanmu himself hadn’t eaten any. This coworker couldn’t help but bolster up his courage and tease, “Xiao Xiao and Young Mr. Song’s relationship is quite good.”

Song Xuanhe had just swallowed down a piece of meat. When he heard this, he looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s expression from the corner of his eyes. When he saw that the other’s expression hadn’t changed, he took back his gaze and said with a smile, “Jealous, ah?”

That person hadn’t expected that Song Xuanhe would reply. He looked overwhelmed with favour. With a smile on his face, he approached Song Xuanhe with a flattering look, “Young Mr. Song, your relationship with Xiao Xiao is so good, of course we’re jealous.”

“If you’re jealous, go find a boyfriend or girlfriend for yourself.” Song Xuanhe sipped on his alcohol and smiled lazily.

Seeing that someone had struck up a conversation with Song Xuanhe, who wasn’t as aloof as they had thought and had even made such an easy-going joke, the others’ courage grew as well. After all, there weren’t many chances to interact with the company’s young master. Even if they didn’t leave an impression on Song Xuanhe, it was still quite good for them to exchange a few words with him.

Thus, as soon as the person in front of him had spoken, someone else cut in using this topic as an excuse. He said, “Xiao Xiao hasn’t eaten much. Young Mr. Song, doesn’t your heart ache for him?”

Song Xuanhe gave that person an askanced look. Although his smile didn’t change, his tone was pressuring, “If my heart doesn’t ache for him, will yours?”

That person’s expression grew stiff. He didn’t think that Song Xuanhe’s temper would change just like that. He said, embarrassed, “I always shoot my mouth. I said something that I shouldn’t have. I’ll drink in punishment! I hope that Young Mr. Song won’t take offense.”

Before the other could pick up his glass though, Song Xuanhe had already softened his tone. He said with a smile, “What punishment? You’re right, my heart obviously aches.”

After saying this, he picked up a piece of meat from his bowl with his chopsticks and brought it over to Xiao Yuanmu’s mouth. Eyes curved into a smile, he said, “Ah—quickly have a bit. Otherwise, others will say that I don’t care about you.”

Song Xuanhe was waiting for Xiao Yuanmu to leave. He then felt his chopsticks suddenly lighten. He looked up and discovered that Xiao Yuanmu had indifferently eaten the piece of meat he had brought to his lips.

Song Xuanhe widened his eyes in shock. He raised his voice in his mind: 【Xiao Yuanmu actually ate the piece of meat! This didn’t happen in the plot!】

【I saw.】Er Gou was also quite confused. However, it wasn’t like this kind of thing hadn’t happened before. After all, a book was a book, and reality was reality. The only thing that did not change in reality was the ever-changing nature of reality. There would always be some kind of deviation. Therefore, its tone was very calm :【This is normal. Although the book was written from Xiao Yuanmu’s POV, this world is a real world. Anything could cause deviations. Only, in order to comply with reality, you don’t have to get angry like in the plot. Just shove a piece of meat in his mouth. Remember to use your hands.】

When he heard Er Gou’s unimpressed tone, Song Xuanhe let go of the shock in his heart. Actually, he wasn’t one to be easily flustered. It was just that it was the first time Xiao Yuanmu hadn’t acted according to the plot. It was really unexpected. Moreover, it also felt strange.
