Round Table Conference Hall, First Floor of the Church
The third young master chose the most central seat and sat down, looking down at a church floor plan.
This church had long been acquired by the Bai family and was now a private building, and only those with the Bai family's permission could enter or exit.
The magician sat on his right, one seat away from him, his hands wearing tight black leather gloves, his fingers nimble as he showed off his skills by cutting the cards in a fancy way.
The four-color playing cards switched smoothly between fingers without stopping for a moment, as if waiting for someone to walk into the conference room to see this little performance.
The Third Young Master sneered at the male peacock's behavior of spreading its tail and sneered:
"Is it that serious?"
According to the settings of this copy, the bride is destined to marry someone from their Bai family, and no matter how much effort others put in, it will be in vain.
As for who she will marry in the Bai family, it is not completely set in the setting. According to the general story development, she will marry the disabled young master. However, there are also players who have played other tricks in the clearance history records.
But no matter what tricks she uses, the person she marries must be a member of the Bai family. As for the magician, there is no chance of conquering him at all.
The magician pretended not to understand the sarcasm and focused on playing cards. He caught a glimpse of the architectural plan in the hands of the Third Young Master. The clown mask on his face smiled frivolously:
"What are you doing again? Oh, I see. You're looking for where your pretty sister-in-law lives so you can visit her tonight?"
Swish.
The Third Young Master threw the floor plan onto the table and asked coldly:
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think you can scare anyone by putting on a sour face. Do you really think everyone is blind?"
The magician switched to playing flower cards with his left hand, and with his other hand he pressed down the picture on the table without hesitation, tapping his knuckles twice, making a crisp sound:
"You've been staring at this secret passage, and everyone knows what you're up to."
The magician didn't stare at the picture, but he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and took the opportunity to quickly memorize the layout of the secret passage.
The Third Young Master neither denied nor admitted it. He glanced at the magician's eager eyes, snatched the blueprint off the table, folded it in half, with the back facing up, and didn't show it to anyone. His voice was filled with warning:
"Not everyone can afford to play tricks. Doing useless work all day long will make you a real clown, making people laugh."
"How do you know it's useless?"
The magician wears a clown mask and smiles all the time, making it hard to guess what he is thinking:
"Indeed, in this instance, the bride will most likely marry the eldest son of the Bai family. Oh, there's a small chance that she'll marry you instead. But isn't this instance just a script-killing game after all? It's just a game. It doesn't matter who she marries. But I'm different..."
The magician suddenly lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious, with an expression of "opening up the world":
"I know him in real life."
His fingers clenched instantly, and the straight paper in his hand wrinkled at one corner.
The Third Young Master tried his best to suppress the inexplicable anger in his heart, and maintained his usual cold voice, as if he didn't care at all, and only asked lightly:
"How did you meet?"
The magician pretended to be polite and said with a smile:
"We met when we were abroad."
Squeak.
The friction between the papers made a slight sound, and the drawing in the Third Young Master's hand became even more wrinkled.
The magician had already noticed the poor crumpled drawing. Under the clown mask, his real face was hiding an unconcealable smile, but he pretended to be surprised:
"Why, you don't know him too?"
The Third Young Master replied with a fake smile: "How could I know him?"
"Oh, I see that if you keep pinching this blueprint, it will tear into pieces. I thought you were angry. It's good that you don't know each other. The relationships in the script-killing games are just game settings after all, and they can't be taken seriously. If you want to make it real, you still have to look at the real relationship, don't you think?"
The magician spoke briskly, and deliberately used the playing cards in his hand to cut a big flower in front of the third young master, like a peacock spreading its tail, showing off its power.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The Third Young Master was silent, his mood dropped to the freezing point, his thin lips were tightly tightened into a line, he seemed to be disdainful of arguing with the magician, he crumpled up the secret passage blueprint into a ball and threw it into his suit pocket.
Silence returned to the round table meeting room, leaving only the faint sound of cutting cards.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the window, bringing a hint of coolness. The magician deliberately trembled his hand, and a card floated out diagonally and landed very accurately behind the left side of the third young master.
Magician: "Hey, please help me pick it up."
The third young master glanced at him. The magician was sitting on the right, so he would have to step over his seat to pick up the ball. However, there was a wall behind him, and if he didn't move out of the way, the magician wouldn't be able to get through.
Sizzle——
The Third Young Master sat on the chair and moved back. The chair legs scraped against the floor with a sharp sound. He made a small path in front of him for the magician to see, pointed with his hand, and said in a very bad temper:
"Climb by yourself."
At this moment, the floor tile where the playing cards fell on the lower left side suddenly opened!
The bride's white veil emerged, and as Su Yi poked his head out of the secret passage, he saw the third young master pointing at him fiercely and telling him to crawl!
Su Yi was shocked, thinking that the Third Young Master was scolding him. He was like a frightened little animal and quickly shrank back into the cave.
The third young master caught a glimpse of Su Yi's avoidance of him, and became even more annoyed:
"What are you afraid of!"
Seeing him act so fierce, Su Yi became even more afraid of him. He quickly hid in the cave and didn't dare to come out.
The magician watched quietly from the side, playing poker leisurely, and smiling like a successful fox.
In the secret passage, Su Yi shrank his head in grievance, not knowing how he had offended the Third Young Master again. According to the setting, the Third Young Master was his first love and was of similar age to him, so there might be more opportunities for communication. He initially thought that he had a script to kill the newcomer, and perhaps he could ask him for advice if he had any problems. He didn't expect that this man was so fierce and had such a bad temper!
The sound of a wheelchair rolling came from behind.
Su Yi hunched his shoulders, and suddenly a warm big hand rested on his bare shoulders.
The eldest young master of the Bai family pushed Su Yi out firmly and gently, then changed the force of pushing to embracing, and hugged Su Yi into his arms, making a protective gesture with a smile on his face:
"Third brother, look at you. Why are you still in such a bad mood? You scared your sister-in-law."
The Third Young Master felt like vomiting when he heard the word "sister-in-law". The magician stared at the hand of the Bai Young Master hugging Su Yi and rolled his eyes under the clown mask.
After all, Young Master Bai was older and had a sharp eye. He glanced at his third brother and the magician and knew clearly what was going on.
He turned around and said to Su Yi gently and politely:
"Don't be afraid. My third brother is the legitimate heir of our Bai family. He has been a favored child since he was young. Everyone around him spoils him. It is inevitable that his temper is a little...different from that of ordinary people. In fact, if you get to know him more, you will know that he is not a bad person."
At first glance, this sentence seems to be speaking in favor of the Third Young Master, but upon careful consideration, every word emphasizes that the Third Young Master is someone who cannot be messed with. He has been spoiled by the people around him since he was a child. He is arrogant and unruly and is definitely not a good person. You should stay as far away from him as possible.
Su Yi said "oh" and nodded obediently.
Under the black bat mask, the third young master narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Yi like a jackal. This guy was very obedient to that disabled waste, but was scared to death of him and avoided him like the plague.
His eldest brother sat in a wheelchair calmly, holding the armrest of the wheelchair with one hand and hugging the beautiful bride with the other. The third young master sat alone in his seat, staring and watching, silently clenching his fists. The more he looked, the more he felt that this disabled eldest brother... was really an eyesore.
In a group setting, the socially anxious Su Yi habitually lowered his head, did not speak, and did not notice the subtle atmosphere between the three men.
On the dark floor tiles, there was a card lying clearly: the Queen of Hearts.
——It might have been dropped by a magician.
Su Yi bent down, helped pick it up, and kindly handed it over.
The magician smiled, but the mask covered his face, so Su Yi couldn't see it. He could only see that the clown mask was smiling widely.
"Thanks."
The magician thanked him and reached out to take the cards.
This was a very natural and normal interaction, and Su Yi was not prepared. At the moment when the playing cards were handed over -
The magician touched Su Yi's hand in front of Mr. Bai Dashao and Mr. Bai Sanshao.
The slender fingers brushed across the bride's white lace gloves. The movements were very fast, with the hand speed of years of practicing magic, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
Su Yi was still in a daze until the cards in his hand were taken away. He couldn't even be sure whether the man who just happened... touched him secretly?
The magician cut the face cards with one hand, and held the Queen of Hearts that Su Yi picked up for him in the other hand. Noticing Su Yi's eyes fell on him, he turned his wrist and opened a fan of poker cards, which were all Queens of Hearts. He turned his wrist again, and the poker cards turned into a King of Spades and a Queen of Hearts, two by two. I don't know what he was hinting at, but he brought them over like a male peacock spreading its tail to show off.
Although Su Yi didn't say anything, he was obviously attracted by her attention.
The Third Young Master rolled his eyes in his heart and couldn't help holding his breath. He was so ignorant that he could be mesmerized by such a simple trick of cutting playing cards.
Young Master Bai was even more patient. He didn't say anything, but silently took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his white suit. He took Su Yi's hand like a husband and wiped it carefully with the handkerchief, as if there was something dirty on it.
Su Yi was a little confused. He had not accumulated enough experience in interacting with people in his past life. He didn't quite understand what was going on. The atmosphere now seemed... weird.
After wiping, Mr. Bai turned around and glanced at the magician, but did not speak to him. He turned around and asked Su Yi:
“Who is…?”
Su Yi did not answer, thinking that Young Master Bai's light screen should automatically pop up to introduce him.
After waiting for a while, the room became quiet.
Su Yi felt the eldest young master's gaze on him, as if he wanted to see a hole in him. His voice was still as gentlemanly and gentle as always, but his tone was as cold as the third young master's:
"Why, it's inconvenient to introduce?"
Su Yi pursed his lips. The light screen had previously reminded him that Young Master Bai had a perverted temperament.
——If you don’t explain it properly, you might end up laying the groundwork for the subsequent plot.
"This is..." Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "I am a former... friend."
Phew.
The magician laughed deliberately: "My dear, it's really too polite for you to say that."
He extended his hand to Mr. Bai in a friendly manner:
"Let me introduce you to Su Yi's ex-boyfriend. We lived together when he was studying in France. After all, we were in love. I came to congratulate him on his marriage this time. Young Master, you don't mind, right?"
Su Yi felt suffocated instantly and didn't dare to look at the expression of the young master beside him.
Young Master Bai was very well-mannered, his face was as calm as a mountain. He gently reached out his hand, lifted Su Yi's bridal veil, and gently stroked his delicate face, smiling and saying:
"I didn't know that. You have a lot of boyfriends."
[It is detected that the perversion index of the eldest son of the Bai family is rising sharply. Players are requested to save him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk]
Su Yi knew that he could no longer play dumb, so he said in a hurry, "No, no, just one."
Oh.
This time, the Third Young Master sneered and stared at Su Yi:
"Sister-in-law, you are so forgetful. Things from our school days don't count anymore?"
