Although she was best friends with Jiang Meng, Hong Yiling always felt a bit resentful that Jiang Meng seemed to outshine her in every way. Now that Chen Feiyu had given Jiang Meng the cold shoulder but shown her special attention, her sense of triumph was palpable.
"It’s not as if I don't understand social graces. Besides, you are a great beauty; refusing a beauty's invitation would be like burning a lute to boil a crane—utterly boorish," Chen Feiyu said with a light shake of his head and a chuckle. However, his true thought was that since Hong Yiling had taken the initiative to provoke him, he might as well play along and see what kind of game she was running.
Hong Yiling was delighted, her eyes crinkling with joy. She pressed the celadon wine flask into Chen Feiyu’s arms and giggled, "My impression of you has really changed. Here, this wine is for you. It’s twenty-year-old bamboo leaf green, perfect for such a beautiful scene. Have a drink and see if it’s to your taste."
