159 Witness (1/2)

Dancing elegantly, akin to how a swallow caresses its nest, yet swift like a magpie calling into the night. The beautiful troupe embraced the music in a dance that reflected its beauty and serenity, seeming to flow along with the wind.

Sun Yu's group received enthusiastic cheers from the entire audience. When their performance ended, they received thunderous applause.

”Brother, that's not a bad performance by Yuyu, right?” Xiao Ruyi said, glancing over at Xiao Luo with no other intentions.

”It's okay!” Xiao Luo said, nodding as he replied.

Xiao Ruyi's face beamed with a smile. It was as if he had just complimented her. Deep down, she knew that what he meant by ”okay” was that it was excellent.

”I heard from her that you have a programme as well?” Xiao Luo asked curiously.

”I had one at the start, but I canceled it in the end. Preparing for a program is cumbersome and tiring, I don't want to waste my free time on such things.”

Xiao Ruyi said, pouting, ”Oh right, brother, I've mentioned this to you before, so you must pay heed. For a girl like Yuyu, who has such good qualities, not to mention that she's single, she has many suitors in the hospital. Fu Guisheng is one of them. He is, without a doubt, the most aggressive in his pursuits, and he gifts Yuyu with flowers once every three to five days.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dashan slapped his thighs and said: ”I've said this before, that guy definitely has some impure intentions about Pretty Girl Sun!”

”If he dares to fight over sister-in-law with Brother Xiao, then I'll kill him!” Feng Wuhen said, fiercely exclaiming as he took a sip of his alcohol. He turned his head towards Fu Guisheng.

”Who gave someone like him the right to fight over a woman with Old Xiao?” Zhang Dashan said scorning.

”Brother Zhang is right. That troublemaker is vastly inferior to Brother Xiao in all aspects.”

Xiaowu said, waiting for the right time to jump into the conversation. Then, he took it upon himself to craft a plan for Xiao Luo, ”To be honest, there is no need for any fancy tricks such as gifting bouquets and jewelry when trying to woo a lady. My dad told me that during the ancient times, when a man fancies a lady, all he had to do was knock the lady unconscious with a bat and drag her back home to make love to her. Real love is all that is needed, no need for anything complicated or fake.”

Knocking someone unconscious with a bat and dragging them back?

Xiao Luo held his laughter and did not say a word.

On the other hand, Zhang Dashan started laughing until he was in tears. He had been continually raving over Xiao Wu's talents!

At that moment, Xiao Luo noticed someone familiar. It was the boss of Yingtong Plastic Factory, Jiang Yongchun.

A man with a cheerful disposition accompanied Jiang Yongchun. It was Director He, with whom they had the pleasure of meeting earlier.

”Ruyi, that person isn't a doctor in your hospital, right?” Xiao Luo asked, wondering how Director He had righteously mentioned that no outsiders were allowed in the premises. In the end, he seemed to have broken the rule.

As Xiao Ruyi traced Xiao Luo's line of sight, she also saw Jiang Yongchun. She explained: ”That is the boss of a plastics manufacturing firm that supplies our hospital with plastic syringes. That fatty without a chin, He Ruanliang, has received many rebates from the firm, so he treats them as if they were his ancestors.

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and thought, so that's what it is. He also noticed that Xiao Ruyi had addressed her director as a ”fatty without a chin,” which he thought was quite an apt description.

”Why are we talking about your director. What I want to ask is that why hasn't Pretty Girl Sun returned after finishing her performance?” Zhang Dashan asked bellowing.

”Yuyu still needs to remove her makeup and change her clothes. Doesn't all that need time?”

Xiao Ruyi asked, placing both her hands on her hips and humming. ”Tsk, why is the eunuch more anxious than the emperor? Even my brother isn't rushing, so what are you in a hurry for?”

”…” Zhang Dashan had no words to say in response.

One-by-one the performances continued throughout the mid-autumn festival gala. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event and agreed that the various acts, dances, comic sketches, and singing, were exceptional.
