"Brother Xiao Yu, didn't you have dinner with Hou Baiyu and those geniuses? Is it true?"
A teenager across the table asked with a grin.
Jia Xiaoyu looked up, with little expression and without the smugness others might expect. He said casually, "Yes, I did."
The teenager leaned forward and asked, "Is Hou Baiyu easy to get along with? What's your relationship like?"
Jia Xiaoyu thought about it. He had a few chances to interact with Hou Baiyu, but it was all thanks to Brother Xiao Rui, who called him along. Hou Baiyu was cold and indifferent to others, but his expression softened when he was with Brother Xiao Rui and those people.
Then there's Fu Xuan Ge. He always seemed so arrogant, yet when he's with Brother Xiao Rui's crowd, he turned into a show-off, which wasn't so bad.
Thanks to Brother Xiao Rui's influence, neither of them looked down on him. On the contrary, they seemed quite calm and approachable, making the interactions feel less distant.
