The considerably darker and thinner Su Qinglan strode over to Jian Shichu and gave him a strong hug, vigorously patting his back, "Seventh Brother, I've missed you to death!"
Ye Qingci smiled and said to Su Qinglan, "Ah Lan, you've tanned."
"Sure have," Su Qinglan beamed, showing his pearly whites, "I've been flying a bit high lately, almost shoulder to shoulder with the sun, how could I not tan?"
Ye Qingci chuckled, amused by him, "Ah Lan, you've not changed, still so humorous."
Su Qinglan placed his right hand on his chest and gave Ye Qingci a gentlemanly bow, "Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law, please come inside!"
Ye Qingci smiled and said thanks, holding hands with Qiu Yuxi, and went to sit by the window.
Su Qinglan seemed to have a lot to say to Jian Shichu, pulling him aside and chatting non-stop like a machine gun.
Ye Qingci sipped her juice quietly, watching them with a smile.
