"How long until Yan Zhou arrives?"
Cheng Qiting glanced at the time.
"It should be soon. I tell you, when you see him, you'll definitely be surprised."
"I'm already curious. Yan Zhou hardly ever hangs out with us throughout the year, and this time he actually took the initiative to organize a gathering. I even turned down other plans for this!"
Cheng Qiting smiled mysteriously. "You'll know when you see him."
He deliberately withheld the news about Yan Zhou's legs being restored, just to witness their surprised expressions later.
As they chatted, the door opened.
Everyone turned to look at the entrance, and then they froze in place.
The young man with red hair couldn't help but stand up and walk over, seemingly to confirm something, before bursting into laughter.
"Wow! Yan Zhou, your legs are healed! That's amazing!"
Sheng Yanzhou smiled slightly and then stepped aside, revealing Ruan Fuxi who was half a step behind him.
The few people in the private room were stunned again, including Cheng Qiting.
Sheng Yanzhou walked over with Ruan Fuxi, a smile in his eyes. "Let me introduce you all; this is Ruan Fuxi, my friend."
Ruan Fuxi smiled warmly and confidently. "Nice to meet you all for the first time."
Cheng Qiting was the first to react and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically. "Miss Ruan, I didn't expect you to come with Yan Zhou! Please sit down; what would you like to drink?"
"Why didn't Yan Zhou tell us that his lifesaver would be here?"
The others quickly caught on as well, being very friendly and quite curious.
"Hi there! I'm Lin Chu, I've grown up with Yan Zhou since we were kids. How did you and Yan Zhou meet?" The young man with red hair asked excitedly.
My name is Qiao Youchen, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.
Sheng Yanzhou stepped forward and helped Ruan Fuxi take a seat.
"Alright, everyone sit down. You all talk too much," he said.
Lin Chu wore a disapproving expression. "Yanzhou, this is where you went wrong. You recovered your leg and didn’t tell us. If it weren’t for this gathering, we wouldn’t have known at all."
Sheng Yanzhou raised an eyebrow. "Well, now you know."
"Come on, tell us which famous doctor treated your leg, and what about this young lady? You should properly introduce her to us."
It was well-known that there had never been a woman who got close to Sheng Yanzhou before, let alone someone he would bring to such a private gathering.
Lin Chu suspected that Sheng Yanzhou had omitted the word "girlfriend" in his introduction.
Sheng Yanzhou replied, "My leg was treated by Xiao Xi. You should have heard about her recently; she’s the master who has become quite famous in Jingxing."
Qiao Youchen noticed the smile on Sheng Yanzhou's face when he mentioned Ruan Fuxi and exchanged a knowing glance with Cheng Qiting.
It seemed that Yanzhou had truly fallen for her. Even an iron tree could bloom after all.
But Ruan Fuxi, a master? They recalled having some impression of her.
Lin Chu exclaimed, "Wait, you mean she’s the master who predicted that the Xu family’s ancestral grave would collapse and that the Liu family’s grandson is a debt collector?"
Cheng Qiting added, "Not just that; Miss Ruan is also my lifesaver." He recounted how Ruan Fuxi had saved him.
Then he mysteriously asked, "Can you guess how Yanzhou and Miss Ruan met?"
At that moment, Sheng Yanzhou was pouring fruit wine for Ruan Fuxi, who smiled at him with half of her face turned toward him.
Cheng Qiting felt a spark of inspiration and snapped a photo of the two from behind.
