Chapter 82: Pray for the God of Love to come and witness the victory...

"Where are we going?" Ye Wan followed him through the noisy crowd and walked all the way to the highest point. Unexpectedly, because the game was suspended, many people rushed out from their seats and forcibly separated them.

"Euan, Euan!" she cried helplessly, holding the muffin.

Kiara happened to be sitting in this area. She came out from behind and grabbed her wrist. "Why are you here? It's dangerous. It's too chaotic here and it's easy for people to get trampled."

Ye Wan was pulled to the corner by her: "Oh, thank you Qiara, I left with Youan, but apparently we were separated by the crowd."

Ye Wan was a little worried: "I'd better go look for him."

She said goodbye to Kiara and continued to the top. There, instead of the wooden seats for commoners, there were luxurious boxes covered in deep purple velvet. Several nobles in gorgeous clothes looked Ye Wan up and down with a haughty look on their faces: "This is not a place for commoners to enter."

"So pretentious." Ye Wan thought to himself and secretly rolled his eyes: "I'm here to look for someone."

"Commoners wouldn't come to a place like this," said a beautiful girl with golden hair, the gentlest of the group. "This is the aristocratic area. If necessary, I can have a servant take you somewhere else to find your friends."

Several people nearby praised her, "Ms. Loris is truly graceful and worthy of being the first choice for the future queen."

Ye Wan rolled his eyes inwardly: "I don't even know where the Crown Prince is, the Queen in my dream."

The girl named Loris's face darkened noticeably. The black-haired noble behind her said unkindly, "How dare you criticize the Crown Prince?"

Ye Wanqi asked, "You've already arranged a wife for the Crown Prince, so why can't I explain the facts of his disappearance?"

A low laugh came from behind the voice: "You really can never suffer any loss."

The arguing stopped abruptly like a broken string.

Ye Wan turned around in surprise and saw Youan standing behind her. He was wearing an ordinary white shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his strong and muscular arms.

"Where have you been? You made me so worried." Ye Wan ran towards him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect so many people to rush out. I didn't think it through." He touched Ye Wan's head, and his shadow fell beside Ye Wan, overlapping with hers.

The nobles froze instantly, their eyes scanning Youan's face and his plain white shirt, and they managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Highness..."

Ye Wan was confused: "What is your Highness?"

You An stood there nonchalantly, his hidden intimidation undiminished: "I didn't know... So the position of the future queen has already been decided by you?"

The nobles hurriedly lowered their heads. Youan's gaze fell on Ye Wan again, and he smiled gently: "The incident has been resolved, and the competition is about to begin again. Let's go back to the box."

Ye Wan was confused: "Okay..."

The skylight of the gymnasium was opened again, and heavy rain fell. The second half of the game continued with the persistence of the players and spectators on both sides.

Ye Wan asked: "What are they talking about?"

Youan was silent for a moment: "After the game, I will tell you everything..."

Lily was struggling to fly in the heavy rain, and Ye Wan decided it was more important to cheer her up first.

It was raining heavily, and when the whistle for the second half of the game blew through the rain, Lily had already rushed out on her broom.

The stadium was filled with cheers from both teams. The Lightning Team made a mistake and their main player slipped off his broom and fell to the ground. Soon, doctors and nurses from the rehabilitation center entered the stadium with a stretcher.

Ye Wan's face turned pale: "Can you still survive if you fall from such a high place?"

You An comforted her: "Don't worry, there were special treatments for falls from heights a hundred years ago. He will be fine."

At the match point, thanks to Lily's several saves, the scores of the two sides were miraculously tied. The opposing players then realized that the little girl from the Floating Team should not be underestimated, and hurriedly suppressed her from behind.

Lily lowered her body suddenly, and the broom flew past her opponent, almost brushing against her.

There is one minute left in the game.

She suddenly raised her broom, used the light of lightning in the sky to see the other person's movements, and then turned sideways in an instant.

"Twenty seconds left!" The commentator's voice came and went in the rain.

Finally, when Lily saw the ball coming from her opponent, her lungs were about to explode with nervousness. She instinctively leaned forward, swung her arms, and hit the ball into the goal.

A whistle and cheers sounded, and Lily slowly rose into the air again on her broom, with cheers from her teammates coming from all directions.

The scoreboard of the Floating Team finally stopped at the leading score, and Ye Wan applauded them desperately from below.

Countless ribbons and gold dust fell from the sky. Ye Wan smiled and said to You An, "Tonight is a night of joy and victory in the tavern."

They followed the crowd out of the stadium.

Still returning from the portal, the rain was still falling. Youan opened the umbrella and turned towards Ye Wan.

"I don't care. In the heat of summer, I won't catch a cold even if I get caught in the rain." Ye Wan reached out and touched the umbrella handle, straightening it. "I'm happy to get caught in the rain with you."

As expected, even with such heavy rain, holding an umbrella could not completely avoid getting wet. When the two of them returned home, their sides were completely wet, so they had to take turns taking a shower.

After changing into neat and comfortable clothes and blowing her hair, Ye Wan came down from upstairs. You An had finished washing before her and was already preparing ingredients in the kitchen.

Today's main dish is charcoal-grilled lamb chops. The lamb chops had been marinated with black pepper, parsley and other seasonings the night before. Youan took them out of the refrigerator, first put onion rings and apple slices on the baking tray, and then put the lamb chops on it to bake.

Ye Wan took out a blowtorch and sprayed fire on the prepared pudding. The surface of the pudding was baked to a golden and slightly burnt color. The sugar syrup began to bubble up and finally turned into a crispy sugar shell. The muffin lay on the basket and drooled at the pudding.

The light on the counter cast a warm glow. The rain outside the window showed no signs of stopping, still dripping under the eaves. Youan stirred the glass in his hand, then sighed softly, a rare sigh:

"I think I have to be honest with you." His fingertips drew circles on the wall of the cup:

"actually......"

Ye Wan interrupted him: "Although I don't know the ins and outs of the matter, I roughly guessed it based on those people's reactions and your conversation."

"Your Highness?"

He looked up at the window, the light falling on the side of his face, making him look a little distant. "I didn't mean to deceive you."

He spoke very softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the quietness of the moment, or disturbing the hard-earned happiness.

"My logic tells me that I should have told you right from the start, but I don't want to be your highness in front of you. I don't want you to distance yourself from me because of your status. I'd rather you get to know the normal Youan first, the Youan who would accompany you to the market, cook with you, watch fireflies on summer nights, and decorate the Christmas tree with you in winter."

There was a rare hint of fear and uncertainty in his eyes: "I don't want that identity to hold you back."

Ye Wan lowered her head and took a sip of lemon juice. Probably because of the sugar, the lemon juice was sweet and sour and delicious. She whispered, "No matter who you are, will you still accompany me to the market, cook together, celebrate the Day of the Dead, and Cupid's Day?"

He smiled, leaned over slightly, put one knee on the polished wooden floor, and gently pulled her hand over and held it.

It was a hand that was good at working. Maybe it wasn't white and tender enough, and it had thin calluses from working, but it was also the most beautiful hand he had ever seen.

He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. It was a kiss without any transgression or reverie, only devout cherishment.

"I pray that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, will come and witness our oath. From tonight on, Euan Edward Aldridge's soul will forever belong to Ye Wan, unconstrained by status or title, uncorrupted by time, until the stars burn out."

Ye Wan felt that his gaze towards her was burning hot, her heartbeat was a little disordered, and she just nodded randomly.

The lamb chops in the oven began to emit an aroma. As the temperature of the oven rose, the rich aroma of the lamb spread throughout the kitchen. Through the glass door of the oven, you could see the fat sizzling under the high temperature.

The door of the tavern was flung open, and cheers damp with rain rushed in first. The members of the floating team surrounded Lily and came in, and Emma, ​​Justin and the others followed happily behind.

Everyone had obviously taken a shower and changed their clothes. Lily's face was flushed and she looked very happy.

"The champion has arrived!"

A wave of excitement was rising, and some guests followed the new champion into the tavern. Ye Wan had to move the tables and chairs to make room so that everyone could happily dance the championship dance.

Ye Wan and Youan brought out the prepared food from the kitchen. The aroma of grilled lamb chops wafted in the air. Ye Wan took the cups and poured beer into them. The golden beer splashed out foam and the aroma of beer wafted in the air.

Lily held the beautiful golden trophy in her hands and raised it above her head. There was still heavy rain in the night sky outside the window, but the pub was bustling with activity, filled with victory and jubilation.

Ye Wan turned on the radio, which was playing the victory song. The dance music started humming and everyone started dancing, their boots hitting the floor.

You An was pulled by Ye Wan's arm and staggered to join the dancing crowd.

Although she missed several beats, Ye Wan smiled even more happily. You An took her around in circles, and the hem of Ye Wan's skirt swept across his ankles.

She took advantage of the inertia of the rotation to move closer and then threw herself into his arms, putting her lips close to his ear: "Hey, Youan, I have something to say too."

His movements slowed down, and the smile and love in his eyes grew brighter: "Well? What do you want to say?"

She tiptoed closer and said, "I ask the goddess of love, Aphrodite, to come and witness our oath. I, Ye Wan, will always catch Youan when he approaches me, until time wears away and the stars burn out."

Youan suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, took her around in the crowd, and then lowered his head to kiss her ear:

"I'm so happy tonight."

"I love you."
