Age of Legends

Chapter 161 Cognitive Bias
"Brother Wei, I remember your birthday is the 29th? Why are you turning today?" Qin Tangxi expressed his incomprehension when he saw Wang Shuowei.

Qin Tangxi had always been like a princess in the TV station community. First, she was beautiful. When she came to the compound as a child, she would be followed by a group of boys. Wang Shuowei was actually the king of the children in the compound, so he took Qin Tangxi to play. After a while, Qin Tangxi got to know the personalities of the people in the city TV station community.

Her sister is Shen Nuoyi, and the one who took her out to play was Wang Shuowei. As you can imagine, it was easy for her to become the boss in the city's TV community. After they became familiar with each other, she even addressed Wang Shuowei in a frivolous way.

She saw Zhang Chen and thought she would give him a lesson for the time being. Last time they parted, Zhang Chen had pissed her off. And Zhang Chen knew some scoundrels in society, so he must not be a good student.

She was sure that Zhang Chen was just looking for an excuse to help her cousin so that she could feel a sense of responsibility and use it to climb up the ladder. Her elder sister was the type that was easily deceived - at least in her opinion.

It’s a pity that Zhang Chen still can’t figure out the situation and dares to provoke her. It seems that Zhang Chen doesn’t know her name. She is a person known as the foreign language female devil. She will never let go of any grudge... Sooner or later, she will make him pay.

"I just want to do it a little earlier...it will be inconvenient later." Wang Shuowei responded.

Wang Shuowei is often more protective of his cousin Shen Nuoyi, who is a second-generation rich girl from a wealthy family and does look smart and cute. Therefore, Qin Tangxi often orders Wang Shuowei around in front of him.

Of course, Qin Tangxi was just asking casually, and Wang Shuowei's answer was fine. Moreover, the reason was also fine. It was really not a big deal to celebrate her birthday earlier. After all, maybe something was inappropriate on her birthday, or maybe someone had told her to celebrate her birthday at this time. It was normal. Her parents' generation were businessmen, and some of them were extremely superstitious. They even made a special trip to Gangcheng to visit the experts, intending to seek guidance.

These are all trivial matters, Qin Tangxi asked casually, and she was actually feeling bored at home, so being invited to Wang Shuowei's birthday party was just a coincidence.

She came here beautifully dressed today, in a black dress, little leather shoes, and a cute look, which really caught my eye. If I hadn't known that today was Wang Shuowei's birthday party, I would have thought it was Qin Tangxi's birthday.

Originally, Qin Tangxi planned to outshine the crowd and make an eye-catching appearance, but then she was dazzled by the beauties one after another at Wang Shuowei's birthday party. Yang Lu, Chen Kexin and several boys and girls from the Cultural Bureau sat at a table on the lawn and chatted. Yang Lu was dressed casually with distinct dimples, while Chen Kexin had a sweet look. The two of them alone were a beautiful sight at the birthday party from a distance.

Not to mention Zhuang Yanyue who arrived later. She took a taxi to the outside of the farm restaurant and walked into the lawn area from the outer door made of logs. Qin Tangxi immediately noticed her difference.

The men and women who were chatting subconsciously looked at her, including the two girls with threatening looks she had seen before. They all straightened up involuntarily and looked at her, then waved and greeted her in a flattering manner while paying attention to each other's gazes.

This girl, from any angle, is not the kind of beauty that will shock you at first sight, unlike her cousin Shen Nuoyi who has a very direct impact. Instead, she is pretty, with relaxed eyebrows and eyes, but always gentle to those around her. At first glance, you seem to think she looks very comfortable, and then you just glance at her and find her pleasing to the eye. She won't be too eye-catching, but after a few seconds, you will want to look at her again.

Only at this moment did Qin Tangxi realize that this might be the biggest threat to her being unable to show her unique beauty today.

Qin Tangxi suddenly felt powerless. It was so difficult... Isn't Wang Shuowei a loser... Yes, even though Wang Shuowei took good care of her and she usually called Wang Shuowei "Viagra" and "Viagra", but in her heart, Qin Tangxi naturally put Wang Shuowei in the same group as losers.

If it weren't for the fact that he still took care of her and reluctantly obeyed her orders, she would almost put Wang Shuowei in the same position as Zhang Chen, that is, the second group of losers invited to her sister's birthday party, responsible for being an NPC passerby on the side.

How come so many beautiful girls suddenly showed up at Wang Shuowei's birthday party... Although she was still convinced that her elder sister was the prettiest, she only needed to dress up a little to outshine the others, just like when Wang Shuowei took her to roam around the community in the city, making the boys in the community light up with their eyes when they mentioned her.

Qin Tangxi was not satisfied with just conquering the TV station community, and wanted to make a big splash among his classmates and interpersonal relationships who were invited to Wang Shuowei's birthday party.

In fact, it is difficult to explain Qin Tangxi's mentality. Some people are born with a desire to perform and hope to put themselves in the spotlight in any possible occasion. In addition, Qin Tangxi does have a good face and figure, which has contributed to her mentality.

It is naturally difficult for Qin Tangxi to do this in her own environment, but because she has a cousin who is famous for her education in Rongcheng, she can use her cousin's classmates and friends to make herself the center of attention.

However, today, Wang Shuowei's circle, which he originally thought he could easily conquer, seemed to have many more competitors all of a sudden. Even the girl who came in last showed a strong threat. That was the kind of threat that Qin Tangxi felt as if there was suddenly a girl who could compete with his cousin.

No, I have known who you are, Wang Shuowei, since I was a child. How can you invite someone of this level? Aren't you a loser?
Then, from the words of the people around him, Qin Tangxi knew who this girl was.

It turns out that she is Zhuang Yanyue!

Qin Tangxi was no longer jealous all of a sudden. No wonder... She had heard a lot about the internal situation of schools like Yude and knew that Zhuang Yanyue was as famous as her cousin.

She even felt a little secretly happy: "See, I told you that I felt this woman was extraordinary at first sight..."

What made Qin Tangxi feel a little unhappy was why Zhuang Yanyue was invited to Wang Shuowei's birthday party. Wang Shuowei, you are not simple! I didn't expect that you could invite such a beautiful woman!

Zhang Chen said that he and Wang Shuowei had a birthday party together, but the people he invited were from Nanguang Company, Zheng Xue, Yu Zexi, and others. Most of the people present were Wang Shuowei's friends. Moreover, although it was called a birthday party, there were no banners or anything like that. In fact, everyone just had a meal together, and at most cut a cake afterwards.

When Zhuang Yanyue came in, Wang Shuowei, who was originally talking to Qin Tangxi, quickly straightened his face, turned away from Qin Tangxi, and walked towards her, "Yanyue, you're here!"

During this period of time, Zhang Chen and I have been getting along with Zhuang Yanyue. From the initial "Thai ghost" to her normal way of calling her "Zhuang Yanyue", we can be considered as acquaintances and friends.

Zhuang Yanyue nodded, then handed him a gift box and said, "Happy 18th birthday!"

Wang Shuowei took it, and Zhuang Yanyue didn't show any reaction as if she didn't see Zhang Chen. She just walked straight to Yang Lu and others from the Cultural Bureau. A group of people quickly made room for her and started to be polite...

Wang Shuowei glanced at Zhang Chen. Although he was wondering why Zhuang Yanyue didn't give Zhang Chen a gift, it was not easy to guess the thoughts of such a great god as Zhuang Yanyue. When an antelope hangs its horns, there is often no trace left.

The good thing about Wang Shuowei is that he shouldn't get involved in things that he doesn't understand. Maybe he will give Zhang Chen a surprise, so why would you keep complaining?

Zhang Chen probably knew why Zhuang Yanyue behaved like that, because he had asked her on QQ before, "Do you want to come to my birthday on the 19th?"

Zhuang Yanyue responded, what gift do you want?
When Zhang Chen said that it was OK if it was not too expensive, Zhuang Yanyue asked mischievously, "How about I give you something expensive? Do you think you are doing me a favor?"

Zhang Chen said, "Then you should give her the most expensive thing, such as a big gold Rolex watch or something like that."

Zhuang Yanyue asked, "Do you like watches?" Zhang Chen said, "No." This way, when I resell second-hand watches, I might make a profit. I'll remember a favor for you.

Zhuang Yanyue didn't continue chatting with him at that time.

I probably feel speechless and it's pointless to chat.

Zhang Chen thinks it's pretty good. This is who he is now, no longer the Zhang Chen of the past. It's better for you to recognize it early. As for whether he is a pervert or something else, it's up to you. You should examine him before getting close to him, otherwise you will only suffer if you get close to him.

Zhang Chen thought that she probably wouldn't come today, but she came after all. However, she didn't bring him a big gold watch. It seemed that she came only to celebrate Wang Shuowei's birthday. In her eyes, he, Zhang Chen, seemed like a passerby. Except for a glance at him when she entered the door, she never looked at him again.

……

Some people in the farm house are playing cards, some are chatting. There are also many animals kept here, including sika deer and rabbits introduced by the owner. People who play here can feed these animals. There is also a vegetable garden at the back where you can dig sweet potatoes. You can give them to the owner and he will process and roast them in the oven.

Qin Tangxi mingled with the crowd. When others heard that she was Shen Nuo's cousin and called Wang Shuowei "Viagra", they were also very friendly to her. She quickly became one of the group.

Following Yang Lu and Chen Kexin, who were the prettiest girls, they watched Zhuang Yanyue silently.

Zhuang Yanyue originally lived in the same courtyard as Yang Lu and the others. Her mother was the leader of the Cultural Bureau, so she actually had a very high status in their eyes. Normally, Zhuang Yanyue didn't play with them much, but today she was the most familiar with them and they could chat together.

Qin Tangxi followed by the side and saw all these things... It seems that Yang Lu and Chen Kexin are also trying to show their goodwill to Zhuang Yanyue, asking about her daily life from time to time... It seems that you are also very curious about her! It seems that Zhuang Yanyue is really elusive, just like her cousin!

This is actually the truth. When you are curious about someone, you will always try various ways to find out everything about that person.

Often, the reason why the other person makes you curious and makes you want to pry into his or her life is that you feel you are inferior to him or her.

She has qualities that you don't have, and she has something you want to have, whether it's wealth, popularity, or beauty. The more you don't have in the other person, the stronger your curiosity will be.

Qin Tangxi miraculously discovered that Zhuang Yanyue also had such an attraction to girls of Yang Lu and Chen Kexin's level. She lamented that it was likely that only when her cousin Shen Nuo appeared could she compete with Zhuang Yanyue.

Just as Qin Tangxi was imagining this, his eyes fell on Zhang Chen, who was sitting on a chair on the terrace on the ground floor of the restaurant overlooking the water.

Zhang Chen didn't play cards, he just sat there alone to bask in the sun. Qin Tangxi didn't have the time to deal with him for the time being. It was good that this guy didn't have a sense of existence there. Qin Tangxi had more attractive things to do now, so she didn't have the time to settle accounts with him for the time being.

For her, even settling accounts with Zhang Chen has become a trivial matter today.

Just when Qin Tangxi was beginning to withdraw her gaze, she suddenly froze. Before, she was only paying attention to Zhuang Yanyue and hadn't noticed that Yang Lu, who had deep eye sockets and a European and American style, was also looking at Zhang Chen from time to time.

Not only that, Chen Kexin also occasionally patrolled over there.

Qin Tangxi is very good at socializing and entering such a lively circle. It is especially easy for her to stand out in the center of the stage in a lively circle. However, there are too many opponents today, including Yang Lu, Chen Kexin, and Zhuang Yanyue. It is likely that she will not be able to stand out the most. But she can keep pace with them, at least blend in with them for a short time, so that everyone can see the four of them at a glance.

So after joining, Qin Tangxi collected information like a detective, summarized everyone's relationships, and then examined Duodu's involvement in these interpersonal relationships, and gradually rose to the front row.

And her brain, which was searching for interpersonal relationships, began to discover some information that she had previously overlooked...

Occasionally, someone who was playing cards with Wang Shuowei would stand up and bring Zhang Chen a cup of hot tea. After a while, the hot tea was gone and someone else would ask him if he wanted coffee and then bring him coffee.

Someone bought ice cream and left one for him.

Even when they were chatting about girls' information and various girls' circles in school, it seemed that many people had diverted their attention to Zhang Chen who was just sitting there basking in the sun.

But during this process, he had already eaten a box of ice cream, drank a cup of coffee, a cup of green tea, and a glass of juice... Someone would ask him and someone would serve him.

These two came one after another, but he didn't move like a turtle and just enjoyed all kinds of delicious food. Wow, you are the boss, you are the emperor!
How is this going?

Is there something wrong with your perception?
At least from Qin Tangxi's observation, Yang Lu just took advantage of everyone's inattention to glance at Zhang Chen five times.

Chen Kexin was not far behind, pretending to look around the venue, or as if the people playing cards burst into cheers, which attracted the attention of all the girls, Chen Kexin's peach blossom eyes were also covered as she stared at Zhang Chen.

Only...Zhuang Yanyue didn't go to see Zhang Chen on purpose!

Fortunately, there is still a normal person!

Qin Tangxi took a deep breath.

Otherwise she would have been suspicious.

How could this Zhang Chen be so attractive?
