Styx glanced at the embarrassed Hua Wuyan and Meng Danruo, coughed lightly, and tried to smooth things over for Chi Yan: "Of course you can be in a relationship, but being single is just as honorable."
"Don't be so gloating," Bai Xie mocked. "The way you put it, it gives me, a single dog who just wants to find a friend but can't find one, a perfectly legitimate reason."
Xunfeng was so angry he gritted his teeth: "You talk like you're something special! If you're so capable, go find someone and settle down before I do!"
"Sigh!" Bai Xie pointed at him, "I've already made it ahead of you in establishing myself. I heard you haven't officially joined the guild yet, and you don't have a formal job. Unfortunately, I'm pregnant."

This is probably the price of growing up; they are no longer the carefree people they used to be when they were all students.
Chang Le could certainly sense it, but her heart wasn't big enough to hold more than a small number of people.
The banquet was more than halfway through when Chang Le, who had drunk quite a bit, went outside for some fresh air without letting anyone else follow him.
She leaned on the railing on the balcony, her eyes fixed on the brightly lit city lights, while the distant old ruins remained shrouded in darkness.
Someone walked up behind her. She turned around and was surprised to see that Hua Anning, the bride, had come to find her at this time.
