In the courtyard, Alton was enthusiastically talking with Su Qing and her friends. His witty and funny way of speaking made Li Huan and the others willing to chat with him a bit longer.
Thanks to her friends' analysis, Ye Qingqing was no longer paying much attention to Yarn. Yarn, however, kept stealing glances at Su Qing from time to time. He thought his gazes were subtle enough, but he had no idea Su Qing had noticed long ago. She was simply pretending she hadn't.
After a while, the other guys returned one after another. Seeing Yarn and Alton, they also eagerly joined the conversation. Then, while the men were deep in their chat, Su Qing and the other girls quietly slipped back to their room.
"There's still some time before dinner. Why don't we play cards?" Liu Juan suggested.
"Sure, come to Qingqing's and my room," Li Huan said with a smile.
"Okay."
