The few who had chased after her spoke in unison, a beat too late.
"You know each other??"
Shen Zhiyi was already surprised to see Pei Yu and was even more taken aback by these unfamiliar faces, so she looked toward Pei Yu.
Pei Yu, uninterested in explaining, said, "If you're not sitting, then leave."
He reached out to pull a chair open and sat down next to Shen Zhiyi, noticing her snow-white skirt.
Seeing this, the others also took their seats, quickly filling the empty table and attracting even more looks from around them.
Feeling oddly bewildered under their steady gaze, Shen Zhiyi cast her eyes towards Pei Yu, as he was the only person she knew here.
Pei Yu raised his glass slightly, took a sip, and squinted slightly, misunderstanding her intent, "Want some drink?"
"No," she pursed her lips, "I just wanted to try it."
She thought the wine must be expensive, so she wanted to taste it.
"It's awful," Pei Yu said offhandedly, and ordered her a juice instead, "Drink this."
