I think my luck is turning around.

"Ji Xia, I'm here to watch the drama unfold. There's definitely going to be a good show on the men's side. You know I came here to see what's going on."

An Ge deliberately looked at Ji Xia with a pitiful gaze. Although Ji Xia was frowning, she was still very happy.

"Sure, of course!"

The two left the table together and went to the men's section. An Ge, carrying the cat, followed behind Ji Xia and saw a very harmonious scene when they entered the men's section. There were only four people in the pavilion: Ming Kang, Li Yu, Li Yuesheng, and Yan Yu.

All three eyes were on Li Yu, who was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do. If he went out, these three would definitely follow him, which would make him even more embarrassed.

Ji Xia wasn't taking the normal route; she hid in a corner, secretly observing what was happening inside. An Ge crouched behind Ji Xia, also watching.

At this moment, Ming Kang really disliked these two people. Couldn't they just give them some space so they could talk to each other?

"Yan Yu, aren't you going to go see the flowers? Ji Ran might get entangled with other young masters!"

"Ji Ran's judgment wouldn't be that bad. I have my own things to do and can't just leave."

Ming Kang found Yan Yu's stubbornness quite annoying; he'd always been like this since childhood, only listening to Mr. Ji. Ming Kang changed his target and looked at Li Yuesheng.

What about you? Aren't you going to see the flowers?

"I don't like flowers, and besides, who would want someone as idle as me?"

Li Yuesheng's words made sense; the whole capital was watching his situation! However, he was already a Juren at such a young age, and it was thought that someone who became famous at such a young age would continue to shine and participate in the metropolitan examination the following spring. But he stopped making any progress at the age of fourteen.

Then he started fooling around with cats and dogs, mingling with spoiled young men, discussing nothing of the Four Books and Five Classics, only matters of romance and poetry. Years ago, his older brother chased after him and beat him up for several years. Although his brother was a civil official, he was by no means weak; he had been genuinely trained by their father. In recent years, he had given up, mainly because he couldn't fight anymore; if he did, something serious would happen.

Li Yuesheng had a smile on his face, but it looked rather fake. Ming Kang had already guessed what was going on; Yan Yu must have followed Mr. Ji's instructions not to be alone with Li Yu. He didn't know what Li Yuesheng was doing there.

"I'm going to find Yue'er."

Without hesitation, Li Yu stood up and walked out, followed by the other three. Li Yu ignored the number of people behind him and strode out. As the four of them left, they didn't even notice the two people crouching in the corner.

Seeing that everyone had left, An Ge, carrying the cat in one arm and holding Ji Xia's hand with the other, followed. The path was lined with blooming flowers, but the group ignored them completely. The royal garden was vast; Li Yu quickly lost track of where he was, but Ming Kang, familiar with the area, soon caught up.

The two people behind them got lost in the garden. Looking around, they knew which way to go. They soon encountered An Ge and Ji Xia. Yan Yu was incredulous at Mr. Ji's flamboyant attire, but her surprise vanished in an instant.

"We lost them both."

"It's alright, Li Yu has his own ideas and won't be affected."

Ji Xia straightened her clothes and then walked in one direction. A vast expanse of peonies was a beautiful sight. An Ge, meanwhile, looked at Li Yuesheng beside her, thinking that with Li Yuesheng's luck, she should be able to find Li Yu and the others!

"Come with me!"

An Ge followed her intuition and walked straight down. Sure enough, after a few turns, she saw Li Yu being grabbed by the wrist. The sorrow in Ming Kang's eyes was undeniable, and the tears that were about to spill out seemed to be drowning him.
