Chapter 98: The celebration banquet missed Xiaoyun’s pure, lovely, and fresh new life…
Chao Luxi didn't take Cui Ying's ridicule to heart.
The shock of seeing Yun Fuyu was simply too great.
Now in Chao Luxi's mind, there is only the figure that she fell in love with at first sight, and nothing else can be thought of.
Chao Luxi looked at Cui Ying blankly and tried to gesture.
"I don't think the photos capture his beauty... I'm not saying the photos aren't good, but looking at him from a distance doesn't give him that feeling, you know?"
Cui Ying: "I understand. I understand too well. If anyone criticizes him, it's only because they haven't met him in person."
If I had to describe it, Yun Fu Yu’s photos would be “Oh my god, so beautiful”, and her videos would be “Oh my god, she’s even more beautiful when she moves”.
But the broadcast of electronic equipment and Yun Fuyu himself are completely not on the same level after all.
Chao Luxi murmured, "Why on earth is this happening... I'm not a face-chaser, am I?"
The direct bloodline of the Chao family is influenced by the bird spirit body, and they all have a bit of a beauty obsession, and they like things that are beautiful and shiny.
But Chao Luxi had a unique upbringing and believes she doesn't care that much about appearance.
When he was a child, he was adopted by a folk church. His daily routine consisted of getting up early to pray, treating the wounded, and studying.
He has a gentle appearance and personality, and is responsible for most of the hospice care work. He often holds the hands of the injured and prays for their souls to return to the World Tree and find eternal rest. His words are quite convincing.
If he had not awakened his spiritual power and been taken back to the Chao family, he would probably have stayed in the church.
After returning home, he continued to lead this ascetic life, taking a cold shower every morning, performing routine prayers, and then going to the battlefield to beat people or carry out missions to end the day.
Having witnessed life and death, illness and suffering, even at such a young age, his mentality is as calm as an old monk in meditation.
The Chao family also held many banquets, and the guests were filled with beauties, including ordinary people and those with psychic powers. At a glance, the fragrance was floating in the air and the sleeves were misty. It was a paradise for those who love beauty.
Even so, Chao Luxi would at most sign in... then turn around and go back to the battlefield and start the internal competition.
Good-looking and ugly are nothing more than superficial differences. After a hundred years, they will return to dust and there will be no essential difference.
So, after attending a few banquets, Chao Luxi lost interest and stopped going.
If Chao Luxi could fall in love with someone, it wouldn't be just a matter of a iron tree blooming...it wouldn't be possible even if the world tree bloomed.
But Yun Fuyu seemed to possess some kind of attraction that came from deep in her blood.
Just like pedestrians under the scorching sun in the desert longing for cool water, people who are almost frozen to death in the snowy night chasing after a source of warm light, they are attracted the moment they see it and can only walk towards it in a trance.
In short, Chao Luxi couldn't resist at all.
Cui Ying clicked his tongue.
"I'm not a face-chaser. Before I met him in person, I never thought that one day I would hold my phone and call him my wife... But when he came back this time, he seemed even more..."
Cui Ying gestured with his hands and feet.
“And it has to be attractive.”
Chao Luxi thought for a long time: "I feel something is wrong. Is he a person with a high spiritual affinity or something? There is no such thing as love at first sight in the world, but I am not attracted by beauty..."
Cui Yingyouyou showed him the screensaver photo.
"Can you please say that again?"
Chao Luxi looked at Yun Fuyu's ID photo and felt even more moved.
"That's right, that's right."
Cui Ying scoffed, "I'm impressed. If you have the guts, chase him right now, walk up to him, and repeat what you just said."
Chao Luxi tried to brush this off awkwardly.
"No, why on earth would anyone give him a hard time? I can't figure it out. Don't they have eyes?"
Cui Ying spoke in an appreciative tone, showing that he felt that great minds shared similar views.
“Just no eyes!”
Cui Ying added, "You don't know, I was out on missions for the first half of last year. When I first saw people badmouthing him on the forum, I even treated the posts as a light read. It wasn't until I returned to school and saw him on a battlefield—holy crap, do you understand my shock?"
Someone is saying something bad about this? How can you even say that?
Nodding frantically towards Lu Xi: "That's how I feel now."
Cui Ying: "At that time, I regretted not returning to school earlier, which led to those idle losers jumping in front of my wife first... But it just so happens that these people have the strongest presence."
Just like Chao Luxi said, the serious inner court students are very busy and haven't looked at the forum for eight hundred years.
The silent majority of students are never as conspicuous as the small number of students who jump around.
Cui Ying: "I regret it so much - not only did I completely miss my wife's pure, lovely and fresh newborn period, but I also became hated by her."
Zhao Luxi: "He is also very pure and fresh now."
Cui Ying suddenly turned around and stared at him.
Chao Luxi: “?”
Cui Ying: "Why don't you say cute?"
Chao Luxi: “???”
Chao Luxi: "He... uh, should I describe him as beautiful? And he's also very powerful, except for his smaller size..."
Cui Ying pressed: "What do you mean?!"
Chao Luxi retreated strategically: "I'm not wrong, didn't he beat up the chief..."
Cui Yingyong interrupted his bluster with a sneer, then immediately lowered his head and tapped on the light screen.
Chao Luxi was confused and didn't know what he was going to do.
After more than ten seconds, Cui Ying placed the light screen in front of him.
"look."
His tone was serious, and it gave the impression that he was asking him to study the important information carefully.
There is a photo on the light screen.
There was a person with a painted face, with his chin resting on Yun Fuyu's head, holding the person in his arms.
Yun Fuyu pursed her lips slightly, but the blush on the tips of her ears revealed her emotions.
Although she was obviously shy, she obediently let her friend get closer to her without resisting.
Chao Luxi: “…”
He decisively pretended not to recognize that the man with the painted face was the twin brother of the next head of the family.
"Send it to me."
"No."
Chao Luxi's tone hinted at a threat: "You took these photos secretly, didn't you?"
Cui Ying: “???”
Cui Ying: "So what! Besides, those two have broken off their engagement, so my secretly filming is like gathering enemy intelligence—"
Chao Luxi: "Cancel the engagement?"
Cui Ying: "Yeah, think about it, they've been at loggerheads for a long time. They've fought over Yun Fuyu more than once. They've shown great restraint by not stabbing each other to death. How could they possibly continue the marriage?"
Chao Luxi: "Maybe not. Haven't they reached this current state of equilibrium?"
Cui Ying's expression was indescribable. "Imagine this: if, I mean if, you had the chance to get close to Yun Fuyu, but the prerequisite was that Yun Fuyu dated me on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, dated you on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and went out to look for wildflowers on Sunday. Could you bear it?"
Chao Luxi thought seriously: "I will endure it temporarily for Yun Fuyu, and then find an opportunity to assassinate you and Yehua."
Cui Ying: "That's it. I suspect all four of them think the same."
Chao Luxi: “…”
The two of them stared at each other.
Just as Chao Luxi remembered something important, she asked faintly, "Is there a way to apply for that forum?"
Cui Ying: “…”
*
Adrian and Zhaohui accompanied Yun Fuyu on both sides, passing by the banquet hall and walking to the rest area.
Between the seats are flower stands dotted with fresh white camellias.
The flowers are clustered together and bloom just right.
There is a floor-to-ceiling window with low sofas surrounding it on three sides.
Adrian walked over and sat at one end of the double sofa first, motioning Yun Fuyu to sit next to him.
"Come and sit down."
Once Yun Fuyu sits over there, Chaohui will have to go to another sofa alone.
Yun Fuyu looked into the pair of deep green eyes for a moment, then decisively turned around and sat down opposite Adrian.
Zhaohui smiled politely, followed Yun Fuyu and sat on the remaining sofa.
He faced the floor-to-ceiling window, separating Adrian and Yun Fuyu.
Adrian stood up without hesitation, walked around, strode to Yun Fuyu's left side, and sat down next to Yun Fuyu.
He naturally rested his right arm on the back of the sofa behind Yun Fuyu, feeling so comfortable as if he was back home.
If Yun Fuyu can't go, then Adrian will come by himself.
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Yun Fuyu had a cold face and moved away: "Will you die if you sit aside alone?"
To him, Adrian's body temperature was too high, like a constant furnace, burning his sides.
Adrian turned a deaf ear to her and took advantage of the situation, putting his arm around Yun Fuyu's right shoulder.
Yun Fuyu took a deep breath and stood up decisively...then Adrian grabbed her wrist.
Adrian: "What's wrong?"
Yun Fuyu struggled but couldn't break free.
"It's too hot sitting next to you."
Adrian: "I told them to turn the heat down. Come sit here."
Yun Fuyu looked down at him coldly: "Let go."
Adrian raised his eyebrows and asked Yun Fuyu to let go.
But he looked very interested, as if he was looking forward to what Yun Fuyu would do.
If he wasn't wearing a restraining ring, Yun Fuyu really wanted to punch him in the face.
Zhaohui suddenly spoke.
"Xiaoyun."
Yun Fuyu turned around and looked at Zhaohui.
Zhaohui: "You can sit on my left."
Zhaohui was still dressed in that elegant manner, and even with a gentle smile, it was difficult to dilute the intimidating sense of elitism.
...Most importantly, he really looks exactly like Chao Zhao.
So, even though Zhaohui was very polite, Yun Fuyu didn't want to sit next to him.
Yun Fuyu: "No, thank you."
Yun Fuyu stood up again, walked to the sofa that Adrian originally chose, and sat down alone.
Now, three people are sitting on three sofas each.
After sitting down, Yun Fuyu leaned on the sofa and stared at the floor-to-ceiling window with his eyes lowered.
It was dark outside and bright inside. I could only see the reflection of the waiters walking back and forth on the glass, but no stars.
The other two people were watching Yun Fu Yu.
It was the first time that Yun Fuyu wore this black formal school uniform, which made her face look as cold as white jade.
Below the snow-white throat, between the collar, a hint of black appeared.
It is a restriction ring.
Ever since Yun Fuyu came out of the underwater prison, he has been forced to wear it all the time.
Although his neck wasn't strangled, Yun Fuyu was very upset because his mental strength was completely restrained.
The waiter appeared silently like a ghost and served the appetizers, main courses and desserts all at once.
Yun Fuyu just saw the waiter's figure in the reflection of the glass. When she turned around, she only saw the waiter's clothes receding and the dinner neatly placed on the table.
Yun Fuyu: “…”
what happened.
Originally, the waiter should serve the dishes in order, repeatedly.
However, the guests don’t like to be disturbed and ask them to “serve the dishes quietly and leave quickly” and not to come back to bother them.
So they just did as they were asked.
Zhaohui smiled gently at Yun Fuyu, pushed the dessert in front of Yun Fuyu, and replaced the waiter's explanation duties.
"I asked a few friends, and they recommended this menu. They say it suits the taste preferences of people with affinity for psychics. I wonder if you like it."
Yun Fuyu lowered her eyes and reached for the dessert with her small spoon.
Zhaohui saw that he had no expression on his face and thought that the food was not to his liking.
"If you don't like it, you can change it to something else."
Yun Fuyu shook his head.
"Need not."
To be fair, it tastes good.
But Yun Fuyu really wasn't in the mood to eat right now, so it would be better to just give him a bag of nutrient solution.
That’s not all.
Yun Fuyu tried hard to avoid looking at the bloody steak on the table.
Bright red, bloody, soft, like—
It was like the wounds and bones of a human being cut by mental power, a bloody mess.
A feeling of nausea came over me.
Unable to eat the dessert anymore, Yun Fuyu put down the spoon.
Adrian has been staring at Yun Fuyu with a frown since the beginning.
Yun Fuyu poked at the dessert and in the end didn't even finish half of the cake, and didn't touch the other dishes.
Adrian: "Is that all you're going to eat?"
Yun Fuyu said with a cold face: "Why?"
After ten days of running around in the forest, experiencing life-and-death dangers, his first murder, and an uncertain future, he thought that there would be light at the end of the tunnel and he could go mining, but he ended up with the most unacceptable verdict.
Yun Fuyu has a very strong mental quality as he can sit here and talk calmly instead of overturning the table.
In order to prevent the conversation from developing into a quarrel, Zhaohui intervened in time.
"If you're in a bad mood, it's okay not to eat."
Adrian looked directly at Yun Fuyu and said, "Sure. When you faint from hunger, I'll carry you back to Yuangu Pagoda. The military academy doesn't want students who starve themselves to death."
The last time Yun Fuyu ate was the few sips of nutrient solution the doctor gave him during the consultation meeting.
The last time was during the joint military exercise.
Yun Fuyu was so angry that she had a headache.
"If you want to force me to drop out of school, just say it directly. Anyway, you have achieved your goal now, so there is no need to beat around the bush."
Adrien sneered and easily pushed the heavy wooden table aside.
The cups and plates were shaking in disorder, almost hitting Zhaohui's waist, but were blocked by Zhaohui's quick eyes and hands.
Adrian pushed the table away, stood up, and walked straight towards Yun Fuyu who was sitting opposite him.
Zhaohui was stuck between the table and the sofa.
He decisively kicked the sofa behind him, then immediately stood up and went to stop Adrian.
"stop!"
Adrian had already walked in front of Yun Fuyu, put his arms on Yun Fuyu's sides, and leaned close to him.
"When did I force you to drop out of school? Didn't I help you complete your admission procedures?"
The distance was very close, and Adrian's presence strongly enveloped Yun Fuyu.
Yun Fuyu had a cold face and looked up to meet the pair of green eyes that looked particularly deep due to the backlight.
He didn't say anything, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his foot to kick Adrian.
Adrian frowned and held Yun Fuyu's leg. His size allowed him to easily wrap his palm around Yun Fuyu's knee.
"Why don't you speak?"
Zhaohui put his arm between the two of them and warned Adrian coldly.
"Are you going to ruin the celebration?"
