Xie Jingxing was wary of her, and it was not easy for her to get close to him. Shen Miao could only secretly follow him and find a chance to talk to him.
Xie Jingxing also knew that she was following him, but he pretended not to know. On the other hand, Gao Yang and Ji Yushu were interested in knowing what Shen Miao was up to.
On the third day of July, it was Xie Jingxing’s birthday.
In the real world, on Xie Jingxing’s birthday, she encountered the assassins and ruined the birthday banquet. She thought that she might as well make up for Xie Jingxing’s birthday in her dream.
She left home early in the morning and went to the Misty Rain Pavilion to book a banquet.
She pawned all the gold and silver jewelry she had. Holding a banquet in Misty Rain Pavilion cost at least thousands of gold. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were anxious and kept talking Shen Miao out of it, but she did not listen.
It was just a dream. In reality, gold and silver meant nothing to her, let alone in a dream.
She thought that in the evening, she would invite Xie Jingxing over. At the table, they might be able to have a good chat. This matter was too complicated. Even if she said it, Xie Jingxing would not understand. He might think that she was spouting nonsense. Therefore, she had to be careful with her wordings.
She followed Xie Jingxing to the Thousand Gold Restaurant where he would be drinking with a few young masters from noble families when she saw Qin Qing.
The daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief, Qin Qjng, had once competed with Shen Miao on painting during the test. Qin Qing was born beautiful and was wearing a green embroidered dress with wide sleeves. There was a light yellow belt at her waist, making her slender waist look even more slender. Her dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy.
Qin Qing had always prided herself on looking pretty. She looked down on ordinary people. At this moment, she was sitting with her brother and would throw glances at Xie Jingxing every now and then. She was no longer as arrogant as she usually was, and there was gentleness in her eyes.
Only a fool would not be able to tell that Qin Qing was interested in Xie
Jingxing. Her brother also wanted to matchmake them and deliberately let Qin Qing sit close to Xie Jingxing.
Shen Miao looked over from the other side. She did not know what Qin Qing and Xie Jingxing were talking about. Xie Jingxing smiled flirtatiously while Qin Qing nodded shyly. From afar, they looked really like a couple.
Shen Miao’s eyes welled up.
She knew that this was a dream, and she also knew that Xie Jingxing was just putting on a show. However, she was still sad. She wondered if she didn’t wake up, would Xie Jingxing also have beauties surrounding him in the future.
Among millions of possibilities, it was impossible for him to choose her every time.
She closed her eyes and felt that the scene of them drinking was very jarring.
She couldn’t stand it anymore and turned to leave.
She walked until she arrived at the Misty Rain Pavilion.
The banquet was held on the top floor. From the window, one could see fireworks and the moon.
Shen Miao went in alone. She was the only one sitting in the huge room. The table was filled with exquisite dishes, and the room was gorgeously decorated, but a sense of loneliness permeated the air.
She poured herself a glass of wine.
The wine was a good wine. It was a strong osmanthus wine that was sweet and lingering.
She drank slowly, looking at the moon every time she drank.
The moon in her dream was beautiful.. In the real world, who was Xie Jingxing looking at the moon with?
