    Sky 6 Part 1 – Why dressed so solemn, are you visiting your mom’s grave? 

    Shang Yu does not overreact to this issue. On the contrary, her agent is agitated. “HNA doesn’t know what should be kept private and what should be public! And I don’t know what relationship that woman has with Mr. Feng. Baby, don’t be upset. We were the ones doing a favor, advertising for a small company like that.”

    HNA certainly isn’t a small company. And yet she can actually affect HNA?!

    Shang Yu sneers, “I will be angry because of her? Is she worthy?”

    Mr. Agent makes the orchid fingers.1兰花指 (Lánhuāzhǐ) – a lady’s hand gesture with the tips of the thumb and the forefinger touching and the other three fingers raised made on the stage to show delicacy and grace (see image)<img src="https://secondlifetranslations.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/4822.png_300.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-43271"“Exactly, Fei Yao has such a bad understanding of people, how could he be with her……” Seeing the color draining out from Shang Yu’s face, he doesn’t continue, and instead says, “It’s good that you and him are on good terms, and it’s fine to announce your relationship, but engagement……is that really good?” Seeing Shang Yu’s face turn white, he immediately says, “Okay, okay, okay, get engaged.”

    Shang Yu is really sick of this topic. “The invitations have already been sent out, are you asking for my older brother to take them back? Besides, I’m not a vase that relies on its beauty for a living. I rely on my abilities, is it important to be single?”

    Of course it’s important. But, forget it, even Mr. Shang followed her, how could he persuade her? Mr. Agent lightens his tone, coaxing her with good words, “Okay, let’s not talk about that. Later, you still need to try on evening gowns, if you’re angry, you won’t be pretty anymore.”

    **********

    On one side, Shang Yu is trying on evening gowns with heavy emotions. On the other side, Coffee has found reliable information. “Fei Yao and Shang Yu’s engagement banquet is going to be held at the 5-star Riverside Inn’s most distinctive Riverside Lawn. It’s allegedly said that many influential figures from the entertainment and business sectors are invited.”

    Xia Zhi stands up and smacks the table. “Describing this kind of dog man and woman, ‘dirty’ is a condemning word.”

    Coffee rubs his temples. “I wholeheartedly think that people in the literary world, especially women in the literary world, being friends with them is too risky.”

    Cheng Xiao can’t help but laugh. “You’re considered lucky that you got a literary girlfriend by accident.”’

    Xia Zhi rolls her eyes, and an idea strikes her mind. “How about taking our revolutionary friendship to the next level?”

    Coffee has a bad premonition. “What do you mean?”

    Xia Zhi hides a dagger behind her smile. “I’ll make do with it, and take you in, you bachelor.”

    Coffee unflinchingly says, “As iron porcelain3铁瓷 (tiě cí) – Describing buddies or sisters who have a particularly good relationship., I can’t let you suffer this injustice!”

    “You dare to dislike me!” Xia Zhi raises her hand and slaps him.

    **********

    On a night with a bright moon and few stars, suitable for marriage, the engagement banquet between Shang Yu and Fei Yao is held as scheduled. 

    Getting engaged when the sky is supposed to be half-red, in the eyes of many guests, has some meaning of seeking self-destruction. Even Fei Yao expressed his willingness to be the man behind her, but Shang Yu still stuck to her own opinion. Hence, there is this carefully thought-out engagement banquet. 

    Before she steps on the red carpet, Xia Zhi is on the verge of leaping and gaining momentum. “I’m so looking forward to tomorrow’s headlines.”

    Cheng Xiao’s eyes are blank. “Let’s resolve the invitation issue first.”

    Upon her reminder, Xia Zhi realizes that at the end of the red carpet, more than one person is standing at the entrance of the outdoor banquet venue. They are checking the guests’ invitations one by one. The rumor is true, the celebrity’s banquet is indeed heavily guarded. 

    The solution Xia Zhi instantly comes up with is: “I’ll rent myself out, get close to a godfather, and become his female companion.” 

    Cheng Xiao is astonished. “Do you need to make such a big sacrifice?”

    Xia Zhi sternly asks, “Shouldn’t friends sworn to live and die together do this?”

    “A woman’s friendship simply won’t listen to reason.” Coffee smoothly takes out the golden invitation from the inside pocket of his suit. After coughing a few times, he bends his arms, signaling Cheng Xiao and Xia Zhi to link their arms with his. 

    Cheng Xiao and Xia Zhi smile at each other because of his proud appearance, and praise together, “Well done.”

    A “both sides met”4“左右逢源” (Zuǒyòuféngyuán) – be able to achieve success one way or another Coffee happily raises his head. “It’s only good acting.”

    **********

    Gu Nanting’s Porshe stops at Riverside Inn’s entrance. With him, is Xiao Yuheng who has a unique passion for cheese biscuits. 

    Like he’s worried his younger sister is going to run around and cause trouble, Gu Nanting clasps onto her wrist after getting off the car. “Don’t forget what you promised me.”

    Xiao Yuheng is a little helpless. “I’m 17, not seven, surely it doesn’t mean that I will get lost? Or are you worried I’ll be abducted and trafficked?”

    Gu Nanting is willing to take strong measures. “Your IQ is the same as your height, it hasn’t improved in 10 years. Even if you get abducted, you won’t be sold.”

    “That’s enough!” Xiao Yuheng is upset. “I’m your younger sister!”

    Gu Nanting calmly smiles. “If I say you were picked up by Aunt Xiao, and because I was afraid you would feel inferior so I didn’t tell you, would you still recognize me as your Older Brother?”

    Xiao Yuheng doesn’t fall for his trick. “You men are so immature.”

    After checking in, an immature Gu Nanting turns down Xiao Yuheng’s request to visit the suite and see Shang Yu. Taking her to the dining table, “She may not be very beautiful today, don’t go near her, maintain a safe distance.”

    Xiao Yuheng is still young, and doesn’t understand the grown-up world. “You mean that she’s only the most beautiful on her wedding day?”

    Gu Nanting says, “Let’s talk about that when she gets married.”

    Xiao Yuheng doesn’t understand. 

    **********

    At this moment, Cheng Xiao appears in Gu Nanting’s line of sight. 

    The moon is shining bright, and in perfumed clothing with gorgeous hair, she is in the gentle breeze of the riverside, wearing a black hollowed-out evening gown5(see image). She stands in front of the bar’s corner with a cool demeanor, using her hand as white as jade, to hold a glass of red wine and drinks alone. 

    When receiving a phone call from Shang Yi saying that Shang Yu is determined to have an engagement banquet, he just had a premonition that Cheng Xiao would be present. Sure enough, not only did she come, she dressed up for the occasion. Only, with her drinking capacity——Gu Nanting’s eyebrows slightly furrow. 

    Cheng Xiao is disturbed by his gaze. She looks at the end of the dining table, and then sees Gu Nanting studying her, deep in thought. And then, in the midst of melodious music, she crosses a lush grass path adorned with flowers, and walks right up to him.

    Prior to this moment, Gu Nanting sent Xiao Yuheng to the other side of the dining table. 

    Cheng Xiao’s voice is filled with a sense of regret and annoyance. “You know Shang Yu.”

    Gu Nanting admits, “Her older brother and I are old acquaintances.”

    Shang Yu’s older brother is representing the Shang family.

    Cheng Xiao seems to have seen through his thoughts. “So you guessed my reason for coming here?”

    In Gu Nanting’s deep black eyes, there is some meaning of telling her to not overdo it. Cheng Xiao thinks he will dissuade her from being impulsive, or tell her to not make the Shang family look bad in public. She even prepared a retort, but instead hears him say, “Just don’t go too far.”

    Just, don’t go too far——it seems like he’s pampering her. 

    Cheng Xiao questions him: “Is this a warning or persuasion?”

    Gu Nanting looks her in the eyes. “You decide for yourself.”

    Cheng Xiao looks around the romantic flower sea, and suddenly loses interest. 

    Why does she need to be like a resentful woman, and lower herself?

    Cheng Xiao has no intention of proceeding, and when Xia Zhi follows over, she says, “Let’s leave.”

    “Leave?” Xia Zhi is full of confusion, and takes a few seconds to process everything. However, she asks Gu Nanting, “Why are you here?”

    Gu Nanting is also stunned to see her. He immediately thinks of Shang Yi, but smiles and gives the wrong answer. “Heaven’s will.”

    Xia Zhi doesn’t understand what Gu Nanting means, but she doesn’t care to further question him, and chases after a leaving Cheng Xiao. “You got bullied by her in vain? You’re going to let her off the hook so easily? How could you?!”

    Cheng Xiao’s eyes and eyebrows are light. “Being foolish once is enough, I don’t want to embarrass myself again for an unworthy man.”

    Xia Zhi wants to say more, but is stopped by Coffee who followed over. He says, “Then I’ll handle the USB first.”

    Xia Zhi gives him a meaningful glace.

    Coffee hesitates for a slight moment, and then nods.

    Only then did Xia Zhi catch up with Cheng Xiao. “Fine, just think of it as a lifelong lesson worth remembering.”

    “Remembering for a lifetime is flattering him too much. I, Cheng Xiao, am headstrong, but have a better memory.” Cheng Xiao raises her head and finishes off the glass of red wine in her hand. “To Fei Yao, goodbye stranger.”
