Meng Xinian brings Wei Yixi, a Junior Alliance Officer, to the gathering. The attendees are struck by Wei Yixi's handsome appearance, with some remarking on his resemblance to Meng Xinian. Conversation among the elders reveals Wei Yixi is unmarried and his uncle is concerned about his romantic prospects. Despite invitations to join the main table, Wei Yixi chooses to sit with Jiang Xiao outside.

Wang Yi immediately stood up, patted Chen Yin’s shoulder, and signaled him to move aside and create more space.

Meanwhile, she also swapped places with Chen Yin.

This way, Wei Yixi sat between Jiang Xiao and Chen Yin.

As soon as he sat down, he nodded to everyone at the table, "Hello, I’m Wei Yixi."

Tang Qing called out, "Brother Wei."

Upon hearing this, Jin Lei swiftly chimed in, "Can we also call you Brother Wei?"

"Of course, you can."

"Brother Wei, I heard you’re with the Sea Region Alliance, can you share with us what you do there every day? Are your swimming skills better than anyone else?" Jin Lei asked eagerly.

Jiang Xiao, sitting beside him, could already smell a faint medicinal scent emanating from Wei Yixi.

It seems he’s indeed a wounded person, and still has medicine applied on him.

Wei Yixi chuckled and said, "What we do every day... You’ll have the chance to visit us in the future. I’ll show you around. As for swimming, I can confidently say that mine is better than the vast majority."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

It seems Wei Yixi has something in common with Meng Xinian—confidence.

"Alright, why don’t you all introduce yourselves to Wei Yixi?"

Can’t let Wei Yixi do all the talking.

Wei Yixi listened as she paused while saying his name before turning to look at her.

Perhaps she was hesitating whether to call him Young Alliance Official Wei or Brother Wei? In the end, she used his name.

"I’ll go first, I’ll go first," Jin Lei raised his hand again.

Among those at the table, he was indeed the most lively.

However, in Jiang Xiao’s view, at this age, one should indeed be like Jin Lei—spirited and full of youthful vitality.

"My name is Jin Lei, the middle-aged man wearing glasses over there is my dad, and next to him is my mom. I’m an art school student and in the same class as Jiang Xiao. Oh, and I’m also her class president."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao snorted.

So what if you’re the class president?

Wei Yixi laughed.

"Alright, Jin Lei, you’ve made a strong impression on me. President Jin."

Jin Lei laughed heartily after receiving the compliment.

Soon, everyone stood up to introduce themselves, leaving Xie Landi for last.

Xie Landi mustered the courage to stand and wanted to carry herself as naturally and confidently as the others. However, when she looked over at Wei Yixi and saw him looking back at her, her mind went blank, forgetting everything she wanted to say.

She didn’t know what to say.

"I, I, my name is Xie Landi..."

After uttering that one sentence, she couldn’t continue.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao smiled and added, "Xie Landi is also my roommate, and she’s really impressive. She taught herself to paint and got into the art school. She’s a motivated and hardworking girl."

Upon hearing Jiang Xiao’s words, Xie Landi blushed.

Am I really as great as Jiang Xiao says?

But Jiang Xiao’s help relieved her significantly.

Xie Landi was hoping to hear Wei Yixi say something to her because he had commented after everyone’s self-introduction before—as with Qin Xiaojun, Wei Yixi mentioned she reminded him of a little sister from their old neighborhood.

What would Wei Yixi say about her?

Xie Landi felt both anticipation and nervousness.
