章節 30: Invitation
編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation
A familiar voice made Ye Xiao turn his head to take a look.
It was Qin Yuyan.
Today, she was wearing a pure white fishtail dress, light makeup, and high heels. She looked ethereal.
"Why are you here?"
"Wanwan is my roommate and best friend. I'll be the Maid of Honor!"
Wanwan's surname was Lu. She was Mr. Lu's daughter and Gu Hai's wife.
Ye Xiao nodded and did not say anything else.
He was not very familiar with her, so he did not talk much.
As for women in general, he did not talk much to them either.
Therefore, although the two of them knew each other, Ye Xiao did not want to say anything more to her.
That made Qin Yuyan feel a little awkward. Earlier, she had been asked for her contact details by many boys, but when it came to Ye Xiao, she was completely ignored.
However, it had to be said that she quite liked being together with Ye Xiao. Although he was boring and did not speak much, he would not be like those flies that kept buzzing in her ear.
Hence, the two people with the best looks stood side by side in the corner, watching the wedding ceremony commence.
The stage was extremely lively, and Ye Xiao was just watching.
For a worker like him, who had a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan to provide food and accommodation, just watching was enough.
Gu Hai had his parents to support him. He basically had a house, a car, and a job.
He was alone, and he had saved over 10,000 yuan up till now. He could not even support himself, so how could he get married and find a woman?
No, he had just given Gu Hai a gift, and now it seemed to be less than 8,000 yuan.
Thinking of his wallet, Ye Xiao moved slightly to the other side to maintain a certain distance from Qin Yuyan.
Needless to say, after leaving the woman, a wave of pressure inexplicably disappeared.
Much more comfortable.
Qin Yuyan, who was immersed in watching the wedding ceremony, did not notice any of that.
Soon, the wedding came to an end. Lu Wan's back was facing the crowd, and she threw the flowers in her hand behind her back.
She did not know if it was intentional or not, but her flowers were coincidentally thrown in the direction of the corner and landed in Qin Yuyan's hands.
That made people notice Ye Xiao with her and thought that they were a handsome couple. They could not help but let out a wave of huffs to jeer.
Ye Xiao noticed that Lu Wan raised her eyebrows at Qin Yuyan.
It was indeed intentional.
Qin Yuyan's little face was a little red. She brushed the hair behind her ear and looked a little shy, causing many men to sneak a few glances at her.
However, when they saw Ye Xiao beside Qin Yuyan, they quickly collected their thoughts.
Men were very rational animals. A tall mountain was in front of them, no matter how beautiful she was, it was impossible to get above that.
After the celebration, it was noon when the banquet began.
The best man and Maid of Honor sat at a table. Everyone else was chatting, but only Ye Xiao was eating in silence.
He had been in that world for almost a year, and today's meal was the best. It was of the highest quality, 2,800 yuan per table. It would be a pity if he did not eat it.
Not only did Ye Xiao eat it himself, but he also occasionally picked up a drumstick and a piece of fish for Huan Liuli under the table.
After all, the gift money costs quite a lot. Only by eating a little more could one recoup their losses.
Some of the bridesmaids who wanted to add Ye Xiao's contact information also tactfully gave up their targets when they saw Qin Yuyan by his side.
Those two were too good-looking. Their auras were too strong.
Everyone chatted enthusiastically, but the two of them were somewhat neglected.
Ye Xiao was still alright. He had always been quiet especially to strangers.
Qin Yuyan was not too social either so she chatted with Ye Xiao casually to ease the current awkwardness.
"Are you still going to the library in the afternoon?"
Ye Xiao shook his head.
"I'm not going today. I've applied for leave."
"Then what are you going to do in the afternoon?"
Ye Xiao thought for a moment.
"I'll probably go to a nearby bookstore to take a look at a few books."
He was still short of the last basic spiritual technique that he needed to synthesize.
Since he could not find the last one in the library, he might as well go to a bookstore to take a look.
The bookstore had many sections to buy books. He might even be able to find one.
Qin Yuyan felt that it was a little strange.
"The library should have the most books. If you want to read books, wouldn't it be more convenient in the library?"
Ye Xiao shook his head.
"I've been reading about spiritual cultivation techniques recently. The ones in the library aren't suitable for me."
Qin Yuyan knew that Ye Xiao had raised Huan Liuli, and she thought that he wanted to practice spiritual cultivation techniques to become a beastmaster.
"Are you going to become a beastmaster? If that's the case, my family does have some of my grandfather's books. They're all relatively rare cultivation techniques."
Ye Xiao was silent for a moment.
"You're allowing me to read your grandfather's rare books. That doesn't sound right, does it?"
Qin Yuyan shook her head.
"It's fine. For so long, every time I go to the library, I always rely on your help. And last time, if it wasn't for you advising me, I might not have the courage to display my saber technique in front of my grandfather.
"So this time, just treat it as me returning the favor."
Ye Xiao nodded and did not refuse.
Qin Yuyan had learned his saber intent, and it was also quite valuable.
Reading the Qin family's books was not considered taking advantage of the Qin family.
After the meal, the guests bid farewell one by one. The best men and bridesmaids also left.
Among them, there was also a pair who went to the hotel reception to get a room.
Ye Xiao also wiped his mouth and was prepared to leave. Huan Liuli was very crafty. The first thing she did was jump into Qin Yuyan's arms to lay on the soft sofa.
Qin Yuyan was not angry. Instead, she conveniently hugged Huan Liuli's soft body.
It was just a small pet. What bad intentions could it have?
Ye Xiao was filled with disdain for that Phantom Cat that had lived for more than 140 years.
It was already so old, yet it still pretended to be young and cute all day long.
However, star beasts were generally very old. Huan Liuli's age could indeed be considered a seven or eight-year-old child among star beasts.
The two of them walked to Qin Yuyan's house.
Qin Yuyan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although she and Ye Xiao were just ordinary friends, she could not help but sigh in her heart.
That fellow was really a man of steel. She even decided against removing her high heels and had to walk a few streets with him as her feet ached.
In reality, it was not that Ye Xiao was a man of steel. It was just that he did not want to fall in love right now.
That world was too dangerous. With the existence of star beasts, if one's strength was not strong enough, one could face death and despair at any time.
Finding a girlfriend would only increase the restrictions on oneself.
Moreover, one had to constantly appease a girlfriend. How could it be more comfortable than being single?
Most importantly, he had no money for it.
One could not fall in love when one was poor. Even if one did, it would be in vain.
When the two of them arrived at Qin Yuyan's house, Ye Xiao was slightly stunned.
Qin Yuyan's house took up a few hundred square feet. It was a small villa that was built in a simple but luxurious manner. Many of the furniture were extremely expensive mahogany.
However, when one thought of Qin Shenglong's identity, it was not surprising.
Meow!
When they passed by the courtyard, Huan Liuli, who was curled up against Qin Yuyan's chest, suddenly became excited.
