At this time, in the hotel, not only were many of Xie Qi's classmates and teachers there to show their support, but there were also some wealthy businessmen from North City, all of whom had prominent identities and respected status.
Yu Ze also came to the hotel with his father Yu Zhaodong. Yu Zhaodong was wearing an exquisite black suit and looked more arrogant and confident than before.
After all, he had a son who had been admitted to a key university, and this son was also closely related to the young master of the Xie family. If it were in the past, he would probably have gone to great lengths to prepare meticulously just to be able to attend such a banquet.
However, the situation now is very different. He was able to attend this banquet because of the invitation of the Xie family.
After seeing Yu Zhaodong chatting happily with others, Yu Ze walked alone to the sofa in the corner and sat down, waiting quietly for Xie Qi to appear.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its climax. In the midst of everyone's anticipation, Xie Qi finally walked down the stairs, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience.
Many people present couldn't help but sigh that Xie Qi was simply a replica of Xie Shinian back then, both in appearance and temperament, they were exactly the same.
Everyone was secretly surprised. They originally thought that it was a rare achievement for the Xie family to cultivate an outstanding heir like Xie Shinian, but they did not expect that the second young master Xie Qi, who rarely appeared in public, was also so outstanding.
They thought that the second young master was a flower raised in a greenhouse.
Just as Xie Yanxiu was speaking, Xie Qi stood in front and looked around. After seeing Yu Ze sitting in the corner, Xie Qi said something to Xie Shinian and ran to find Yu Ze.
At this time, Yu Ze looked at Xie Qi who was sitting next to him and said, "Happy birthday."
Xie Qi responded with great joy: "Congratulations!"
Yu Ze: "What are you celebrating? Today is your birthday."
Xie Qi then realized that he had said the wrong thing in his excitement, and quickly explained: "Oh, yes, haha, I meant to say congratulations on getting a high score on this exam!"
As Xie Qi finished speaking, he seemed to recall something important. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Yu Ze, I've been directly admitted to Hua University. Did you also choose this school?"
Yu Ze: “Yes.”
Xie Qi: "That's great! With your grades, you will definitely be admitted. Then we can go to college together."
Yu Ze did not respond to Xie Qi's words, but stood up and walked to the table next to him, cutting off a small piece of cake with elegant movements.
He returned to his seat, carrying a delicate little plate of cake. He placed a candle in the center of the cake and lit it with a lighter. The candlelight flickered in his deep eyes as he whispered, "I rarely celebrate birthdays with people. This is my second time."
Xie Qi immediately asked, "Who was the first one?"
Yu Ze looked up at him and said calmly, "It was you again, on your first birthday."
Xie Qi was stunned at first, then laughed out loud: "Yu Ze, I didn't expect you to be able to joke."
Yu Ze didn't explain, but simply said, "Just treat it as a joke." He paused, his eyes falling on the flickering candle flame, "The candles are already lit, make a wish first."
Xie Qi put away his smile, clasped his hands solemnly, and closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes and gently blew out the candle.
"What wish did you make?" Yu Ze asked.
Xie Qi shook his head, a sly smile in his eyes: "The wish won't work if you say it out loud."
Yu Ze stared at him: "Tell me, maybe I can help you achieve it."
Xie Qi grinned, revealing his neat teeth: "No, I believe it will come true one day."
Yu Ze looked at his hopeful expression and just said softly, "Okay."
At this moment, the two seemed to have forgotten that they had gradually become estranged in recent times, and it seemed as if it was time to go back to school. Xie Qi did not ask Yu Ze why he was distancing himself from him.
The two chatted for a while, and as the host of the banquet, he needed to exchange a few polite words with the teachers and classmates, so Xie Qi said something to Yu Ze and then walked over.
At this moment, Yu Ze looked at Xie Qi's back, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message in the small group created by the four people.
Yu Ze: [I'm going back to the fast-paced game today.]
Xie Shinian: [So fast?]
Su Lingyi: [Sir, can you stay for another year? I think my son really wants you to go to college with him.]
Yu Ze: [No, I need to go back and deal with letting Xie Qi become the tasker.]
Xie Yanxiu: [Sir, please go back without worry. We understand.]
After seeing what Xie Yanxiu said, Yu Ze stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door without saying a word to Xie Qi.
Xie Qi turned around and found that Yu Ze was gone. He stopped a passing waiter and asked, "Did you see the person sitting over there?"
"I thought I saw him go out."
Xie Qi: "How long have you been out?"
"It should be about ten minutes."
Xie Qi: "Okay, thank you."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the hotel gate. After seeing Xie Qi leave, a girl from the same class secretly followed him.
At this time, Xie Qi pushed open the glass door of the hotel and walked out a few meters, and saw Yu Ze standing on the roadside ten meters away waiting for a car.
Just as Xie Qi was about to call out, a hurried female voice suddenly came from behind him.
A girl with a ponytail hurried out of the hotel, her cheeks slightly flushed from running. She rushed straight to Xie Qi, her hands nervously twisted together, "Xie Qi! I like you, and I thought I had no chance. But you invited everyone to the party today, and I feel like if I don't confess now, I'll miss it forever."
However, after hearing what the girl said, Xie Qi subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Ze.
Yu Ze frowned and glanced at them coldly. Then he opened the taxi door, got in, slammed the door shut and left.
Xie Qi's heart tightened and he secretly said, "Oh no!" Yu Ze must have heard it from that look.
He hurriedly said "sorry" to the girl, then rushed to the side of the road and stopped a taxi: "Master, please help me catch up with the black taxi in front."
At this moment, Yu Ze was sitting in the car and took out his mobile phone to send messages in the group.
Yu Ze: [One more thing, don't let Xie Qi have any attachments in this world, don't let him get married and have children, otherwise you will bear the consequences.]
Although Yu Ze has been with Xie Qi for such a long time, if he were to say how much he cares about Xie Qi, I'm afraid it is only limited to the responsibility during the mission.
Perhaps in Yu Ze's heart, Xie Qi is not as important as his system.
After all, if a being that has survived for tens of thousands of years or even longer could really develop human emotions, these emotions should have sprouted over the long years. How could it suddenly acquire human emotional characteristics after just one year of interaction?
For someone like Yu Ze, it would be difficult to melt that cold heart without thousands of years of companionship.
