Chapter 117: Courtesies on Board
Jian Yinglai and You Guangyu had already received wedding invitations due to their respective families, while Tian Ye had just come along.
Jian Yinglai and Tian Ye were on a mission in Linyi District, so it would be bad to let Tian Ye go back alone. Besides, they also knew that Lin Guantang was attending the wedding banquet and had a purpose, so Tian Ye had no choice but to follow him.
Finally, I made an appointment with You Guangyu to meet directly in Linyi District, and asked him to bring a friend with him.
It's a wealthy family's wedding, so it doesn't really matter if there's one more person or one less person. At least with the status of the Jian family, they won't prevent students from bringing their classmates along.
Although they were very familiar with each other in private, on the surface - at least in the eyes of others - they were still strangers, and Yuan and Pu really didn't know them, so necessary introductions were still needed.
It was You Guangyu who first took the initiative to introduce them:
"This is my cousin Jian Yinglai, and this is his classmate Tian Ye."
"This is Lin Guantang, Yuan Wenjun, and Pu Xinglan. Like me, we are all classmates of Gu."
Jian Yinglai then added:
"Tian Ye has never attended a wedding of this kind before, so she came over to take a look."
Tian Ye nodded and said in a rhythmic voice:
"This is my first time to visit a cruise ship wedding. It really broadens my horizons. I really hope that my future wedding will also be held on a cruise ship like this."
The wedding banquet of Gu Jiaying and was held on a cruise ship in Linyi District
Great read.
I clearly said before that I planned to confess my love to the person I like under the fireworks.
Lin Guantang twitched his lips, but of course he still nodded in support and gave an excited speech:
"Me too."
"Xiaolin-san also wants to hold his wedding on a cruise ship?"
Of course, I’m talking about “visiting a cruise ship wedding for the first time”!
Lin Guantang subconsciously wanted to correct his words, but then realized that the voice speaking was clearly mature and old. It wasn't any of them, it was -
Lin Guantang turned around and put on a professional smile that he had practiced for a long time.
"Just saying it casually. After all, there's no sea where I grew up."
Behind him were Gu Jiaying and Dai Zhourong, the two protagonists of the wedding banquet.
Gu Jiaying smiled at several classmates and greeted them softly, but it seemed a little forced, as if she was worried about something, or perhaps she simply felt a little uncomfortable being seen by her classmates marrying an old man.
Dai Zhourong has black hair and a tall figure. He doesn't look like he's in his fifties or sixties - at least he doesn't look as old as Lin Guantang imagined. It's not impossible to say that he's in his forties.
But the moment they looked at each other, even though he had a peaceful smile on his face, Lin Guantang still felt an unbearable chill.
That's different from Huo Shizhen.
Huo Shizhen's coldness is more like an iceberg. You can feel the coldness when you get close to it, but it's only because you have entered a cold area. It will disappear when you move away. The iceberg will not chase people, nor will it release cold air to just one person.
But the gloomy coldness brought by Dai Zhourong was like an ice needle piercing into his body. It was an active offensive move, especially when they were looking at each other, which made Lin Guantang feel as terrified as if he was being watched like a prey.
But who is the hunter and who is the prey remains to be seen.
Lin Guantang retracted his gaze. Although a smile still hung on his lips, many thoughts were already flowing through his mind.
To say they looked at each other was just a fleeting glance among the crowd.
At least no one felt that he was deliberately targeting Lin Guantang.
However, after hearing Lin Guantang's answer, Dai Zhourong still laughed twice, stretched out his finger and shook it, saying:
"What's a mere boat? Compared to the Huo family, I'm just a country bumpkin. However, I'm curious about how Xiaolin became connected with the Huo family's demonic young master. The relationship between you two is a mystery that everyone wants to know."
You are from the country, so am I not also a country bumpkin since I come from District 35?
Even at such an old age, he is still so gossipy.
Lin Guantang silently complained in his heart, and glanced at the people around him -
The people around were gathered in groups of three or four, chatting, drinking, reading and painting. They seemed to be doing their own things, but Lin Guantang keenly felt that when Dai Zhourong raised this question, everyone seemed to pause, and then continued their original actions more actively and seriously, but their eyes couldn't help but glance over at them.
It can be seen that everyone has a gossipy heart, regardless of gender, age, ABO.
Since it was the host of the wedding banquet who asked the question personally, Lin Guantang certainly couldn't spoil the fun and answered with a smile:
"Maybe it's because Young Master Huo is kind-hearted and actively supports the empire's poverty alleviation efforts."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of gasps and coughs all around.
Lin Guantang glanced around again. The guests were coughing or wiping their mouths, and they all seemed to be choked by these words. They looked at Lin Guantang in shock and surprise as if they were looking at an alien.
...That's not too outrageous, is it?
Lin Guantang asked himself, although he did say this casually, was it necessary to react so strongly?
Then his friend gave him a positive response with his eyes - Mr. Kobayashi, you really never stop until you say something shocking.
Some people around laughed awkwardly and sighed:
"Maybe this is the legendary love filter. The devil's love is indeed beyond the comprehension of normal people like us."
"Being able to date Young Master Huo, Xiaolin's taste is indeed unique and not something that ordinary people can match. He must be quite capable."
"Kobayashi-san is truly a carefully chosen spokesperson for the Empire. Even at this time, he doesn't forget to mention the policies that the Empire is vigorously promoting."
Hey... don't think I can't hear you saying that my aesthetic taste is abnormal.
Lin Guantang was speechless and a little melancholy, always feeling that his reputation had been taken to some strange place by Huo Shizhen.
But fortunately, this was just a small episode. There were many guests attending the banquet, and Dai Zhourong certainly couldn't continue to stand here and talk too much with Lin Guantang.
For example, when talking with Jian Yinglai, the smile on Dai Zhourong's face was more sincere. When discussing topics between noble families with him, he did not tease the younger generation about their feelings, but some serious business cooperation or personnel changes.
Lin Guantang naturally could not participate in these topics, but Jian Yinglai was interested in talking to him, and You, Yuan, Pu and others, who were all descendants of famous aristocrats, could all say a few words.
They also wanted to know the details of Dai Zhourong and Gu Jiaying's engagement, so the conversation became more lively and they racked their brains to ask more questions.
Looking at it this way, it turns out that only Lin Guantang and Tian Ye seem out of place.
They looked at each other, and then walked towards the railing on the side in tacit understanding, leaving space for conversation to these people.
Gu Jiaying really wanted to go over and talk more with Lin Guantang, but today was his wedding day and he couldn't do whatever he wanted. In just a short while, several people came over to say hello.
So in the end, he could only give Lin Guantang a lingering look, still staying where he was, and then cooperate in entertaining other guests who came to talk.
Lin Guantang and Tian Ye walked to the railing and looked out at the endless sea.
Occasionally someone came over to say hello to Lin Guantang, and Lin Guantang smiled in response. When no one was paying attention to this side, Lin Guantang whispered: ""
Lin Guantang asked in a low voice:
"You probably didn't bring any dangerous goods like explosives."
To be honest, Lin Guantang was still frightened by his appearance here——
Although Tian Ye is a simple and unpretentious person, unlike the other S-class students who always want to stir up trouble, even the more stable Jian Yinglai will be absent-minded when he is with the other two, and the atmosphere will be like a quarrel between elementary school students. However, Tian Ye is always as silent but reliable as a silent rock.
However, the silent man ended up causing bigger troubles. Knowing that he and Jian Yinglai came directly here after completing their mission, Lin Guantang had no choice but to ask more questions.
Tian Ye showed a surprised look:
"This is someone else's wedding. How could I bring something dangerous like that to such a beautiful moment?"
Lin Guantang felt relieved.
Then I heard Tian Ye say:
"I just didn't have time to put the condensed meatballs away, so I brought them here as well."
Lin Guantang's heart was hanging in the air, he had a bad premonition, and couldn't help asking:
"Condensation balls? What are those?"
"It's a concentrated condensed ball that can freeze a standard room to -10 degrees Celsius in one minute. And that's the effect of just one ball."
Tian Ye also replied in a low voice, with a hint of pride in his voice. After all, it was a product from their research department, and it had achieved considerable success in this operation, so of course they were proud of it.
As he spoke, Tian Ye took out a small silver-white box, half-tucked it into his sleeve, with only half showing. Only then did Lin Guantang notice that he was also wearing special black gloves.
It won’t work without “probably”—
Lin Guantang just stretched out his palm slightly, and even though it was only a finger away, he felt a burst of cold air rushing straight to his palm. If he opened the box, there was no doubt that he would probably get frostbite.
Tian Ye had no intention of freezing everyone on the boat to death, so he just showed him the box, took it back, and said with emotion:
"I have to say, the Empire Promotion System is a really great thing. I can directly connect to the system, issue commands, and detonate the meatballs without having to do all that messy preparatory work first."
After all, the civilian system and the military academy system are of the same origin. In the past, it was necessary to first test whether ordinary programs could withstand the system pressure. Now, they can be integrated and activated directly.
Lin Guantang's heart was lifted again.
It's hard to describe the feeling as I look at the simple man in front of me who is sighing.
Is the Empire Promotion System designed for you to do this?
Why do you think freezing to death is better than being blown up? At least you can keep your body intact, right?
Lin Guantang swallowed hard and asked with difficulty:
"So how many did you bring?"
Tian Ye said:
"There are twelve pills in a box. I was worried that the effect wouldn't be good so I took a few extra pills, but in the end, just one pill did the trick. It far exceeded my expectations."
In other words, the effective range of one pill is much larger than that of a house, and the condensation effect is also better. So if eleven pills are stacked together...
Of course, there are far more than eleven or twelve rooms on the cruise ship, but the problem is that if these balls were to explode at once, it is obvious that it would not be as simple as simply adding up the range.
Lin Guantang looked at the surging waves in the distance, seriously wondering whether it was too late to jump off the boat and escape.
