Start by swapping bodies with a beautiful star

Li Haoran stood alone there, looking at the backs of his companions leaving, his face looking extremely ugly.

At this moment, he truly experienced the truth in the book.

I have a deep understanding of what it means that the world is fickle and people’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.

I still remember how high-spirited he was when he first boarded the ship.

It was these people who surrounded him, like the moon surrounded by stars, making him extremely brilliant.

And now, in just less than twenty minutes, he was knocked down from the sky to the ground and abandoned there like a wild dog.

And those who had originally surrounded him left him without hesitation, without any regard for their old friendship.

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Li Haoran looked up at the endless night sky, laughing crazily, tears streaming out from his eyes that were difficult to open.

Soon, his face was covered with tears and snot.

This place has become his sad place, like a piece of mud, branded into his life and becoming a nightmare that he will never be able to get rid of in his entire life.

For a moment, Li Haoran even had the urge to flee in panic.

But in the end he resisted the urge.

Because reason told him that he couldn't leave.

If he escaped this time, he would lose his only chance to cleanse himself of the filth and would completely become a clown in the eyes of these people.

Wiping the water stains on his face with his sleeve, Li Haoran looked coldly at the entrance of the houseboat in front of him.

Faintly, he seemed to see Gao Yu's hateful face from the brightly lit three-story building. At this moment, he was looking at him with a sneer and mockery.

"It's all you, it's all you, it's all because of you!"

Hatred, like a weed, took root and sprouted in his heart, waving wildly and popping up.

"Why, why didn't you just tell me at the beginning that you were invited by Wen Wan!"

"You were waiting for me to show up so you can laugh at me, right?"

"You are so sinister and despicable!

why? !

Why can't I beat that damn old man, but you can!

Why don't you just let me step on you!

Why are you hitting me!

Why can you win the favor of that bitch Wen Wan!

And those people, why did they leave me!

And Wang Han and Yan Qizhang, why did you treat me like a worn-out shoe?

You are all targeting me.

Damn it!"

...

Gao Yu had no idea what was happening outside.

At this time, he entered the cabin, following Wen Wan, looking around curiously.

What comes into view is a huge room with an extremely antique style.

There are many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the inner walls of the room.

An ancient scent accompanied by sandalwood wafts in the air.

"They are probably all fake, just for show." Gao Yu thought secretly.

Looking up at the top of the cabin, I found that there were many curtains with pictures of ladies hanging there. Some of them hung straight down, and some spread to the carved window frames, adding some ancient charm to the room again.

Even the chandeliers are in the style of ancient lanterns.

Shining on the smooth wooden floor, it is beautiful and dazzling.

The whole hall is beautifully decorated with antique style.

The only thing that seems a bit out of place is the rows of wooden benches placed in the center.

It was obvious that this was just put in by the Poetry Association to welcome new members.

"It looks pretty good." Gao Yu nodded.

He neither likes nor hates these things that are admired in the ancient literature circle, so he just gives a polite compliment.

Wen Wan was quite interested. After looking around, she felt somewhat smug.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

"These things are almost all handled by us old people in the association. It's very troublesome. We waited for more than a month just to rent this boat."

I'm so bored.

Gao Yu naturally couldn't speak his mind, so he just nodded and said, "Your association is quite rich anyway."

"No, actually the association's funds are still quite tight." Wen Wan said, "For this day's rent, one of our brothers negotiated with others for half a month."

That would be even more boring.

Is it worth it just for a little face-saving project?

When he got on board, he discovered that although this ship was called a pleasure boat, it was actually just a modified ordinary modern ship.

Moreover, the modification was not complete. The lower surface was still made of iron, and a three-story wooden building was simply built on top.

Apart from being big, it has absolutely no other advantages.

Just for such a broken thing, wasting all that effort...

Gao Yu was speechless at these people's formalism.

But after all, it was someone else's business, so he was too lazy to say anything more.

As they were talking, some other association members filed in. The sound of engines roaring could be heard again outside, and then there was a slight shaking under their feet.

Gao Yu knew that the ship had started moving.

"The next step is for Master Yan to lecture the new members. I guess you don't want to listen. Let's go to another place."

"Yeah." Gao Yu nodded.

The two of them brushed past the crowd that came in.

Those people all looked at Wen Wan with admiration and rushed to greet her.

As for Gao Yu, he was naturally ignored by them.

Even some people who get close to him will quickly distance themselves from him.

Gao Yu is now like a ferocious beast to them, and they try to avoid him as much as possible.

Only Liu Xinyi behaved completely differently. She looked at Gao Yu with a complicated expression and wanted to come over and say something to him, but because Wen Wan was there, she hesitated for a moment and finally gave up.

Gao Yu saw what she was thinking, smiled and nodded to her, then left with Wen Wan.

The two came outside.

In the evening breeze, Gao Yu leaned on the railing and looked at the rushing river and asked, "Where is this boat going?"

"Where the Qinhuai River flows into the river." Wen Wan replied.

"Where to go and what to do, wouldn't it be more poetic to just get some boats and go boating on the inner city river?"

Gao Yu had been there before. There were houses on both sides of the river. At night, the place was brightly lit and crowded with people. At least it looked much better than here where both sides were covered with weeds.

Wen Wan nodded: "Indeed."

"That was our plan at the beginning, but there were too many of us to fit in the boat, and it was difficult to coordinate when we were scattered, so we simply gave up the idea."
