Chapter 30

The familiar voice made Ye Xiao turn his head for a glance.

It turned out to be Qin Yayan.

Today, she was wearing a white fishtail dress, light makeup, and high heels, her graceful figure fully displayed.

"How are you here too?"

"Wanwan is my roommate and best friend, so I came as a bridesmaid!"

Wanwan's surname is Lu, the daughter of Old Lu, and Gu Hai's wife.

Ye Xiao nodded, not saying much more.

He didn't talk much to people he wasn't familiar with.

Especially women, he talked even less to.

So although they knew each other, Ye Xiao didn't want to say much to her.

This made Qin Yayan a bit awkward. Just now, many guys had asked for her contact information, but when she came to Ye Xiao, she was completely ignored.

However, she actually quite liked being with Ye Xiao. Although he was quiet and didn't talk much, he didn't buzz around her like those flies.

So, the two most attractive people at the venue stood side by side in the corner, watching the wedding ceremony on stage.

The stage was lively, but Ye Xiao just watched.

For someone like him, with a monthly salary of three thousand, and all expenses covered, watching was enough.

Gu Hai had his parents to back him up, with a house, a car, and a job, basically everything he needed.

He was alone, with only over ten thousand in savings, barely able to support himself, let alone talk about marriage and finding a woman?

No, after giving Gu Hai the gift money, it was now less than eight thousand.

Thinking of his wallet, Ye Xiao moved a little to the side, keeping a certain distance from Qin Yayan.

Indeed, after moving away from the woman, a strange pressure seemed to disappear.

Comfortable!

Qin Yayan, who was immersed in watching the wedding, didn't notice this.

Soon, the wedding came to an end, and Lu Wanwan, facing away from the crowd, threw the bouquet behind her.

Whether intentionally or not, the bouquet landed right in the corner, right in Qin Yayan's hands.

This made people notice the handsome man and beautiful woman, Ye Xiao and Qin Yayan, and they couldn't help but let out a "Whoo!" and start teasing.

Ye Xiao noticed Lu Wanwan raising her eyebrows at Qin Yayan.

It was indeed intentional.

Qin Yayan's face turned a bit red, and she flicked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking slightly shy, which made many men in the crowd steal a few glances.

But seeing Qin Yayan next to Ye Xiao, they quickly regained their composure.

Men are rational creatures; when faced with a mountain, a woman they can't get, no matter how beautiful, is not as appealing as a freckled girl in black stockings on the street.

After the ceremony, the noon banquet began.

The best man and bridesmaids sat at one table. Everyone else was chatting, but Ye Xiao was quietly eating.

He had been in this world for almost a year, and this was the best and most luxurious meal he had had, at 2,800 per table, so it would be a waste not to eat.

Not only did Ye Xiao eat himself, but he also occasionally passed a chicken leg or a piece of fish to Hu Liuli under the table.

After all, he had given a lot of gift money, so he needed to eat more to make it worth it.

Some bridesmaids who wanted to get Ye Xiao's contact information gave up their goal when they saw Qin Yayan next to him.

These two were too attractive, and their presence was so strong that others couldn't handle it.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but the two of them were somewhat neglected.

Ye Xiao was fine; he was always quiet with strangers.

Qin Yayan, being a girl, had a bit of a thin skin, so she chatted with Ye Xiao to ease the awkwardness.

"Are you going to the library this afternoon?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"Not today, I took a day off."

"What are you going to do this afternoon?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment.

"I might go to a nearby bookstore to look around."

His mental cultivation technique was just one step away from fusion.

The library hadn't found the last one, so it might be better to try the bookstore.

Bookstores have a wide variety of books, so he might find one.

Qin Yayan felt a bit puzzled.

"Shouldn't the library have the most complete collection? Wouldn't it be more convenient to read there?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"I've been looking at mental cultivation techniques recently, and the library's collection isn't suitable for me."

Qin Yayan knew that Ye Xiao raised Hu Liuli and thought he was trying to cultivate mental techniques to become a beast tamer.

"Are you planning to become a beast tamer? If so, my family has some of my grandfather's rare books."

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment.

"Would it be appropriate for me to look at your grandfather's books?"

Qin Yayan shook her head.

"It's fine. For so long, every time I went to the library, you helped me. And this time, if it weren't for your reminder, I might not have had the courage to demonstrate my sword technique in front of my grandfather."

So this time, consider it as repaying your favor.

Ye Xiao nodded and didn't refuse.

The sword intent he gave to Qin Yayan was quite valuable.

Looking at two books from the Qin family wasn't taking advantage of them.

After the meal, the guests gradually left, and the best man and bridesmaids also departed.

One couple even took their ID cards and went to the hotel front desk to check into a room.

Ye Xiao wiped his mouth, ready to leave. Hu Liuli, being very picky, immediately jumped into Qin Yayan's arms and lay on her large, soft chest.

Qin Yayan didn't get angry; instead, she gently held Hu Liuli's soft body.

It's just a little pet, what bad intentions could it have?

Ye Xiao, however, was full of disdain for this 140-year-old phantom cat.

At her age, she was still acting young and cute.

However, star beasts generally live a long time, and Hu Liuli's age was indeed like that of a seven or eight-year-old child among star beasts.

The two walked to Qin Yayan's house.

Qin Yayan was somewhat amused. Although she and Ye Xiao were just ordinary friends, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This guy was truly a typical straight man, making her walk several streets in high heels.

In fact, it wasn't that Ye Xiao was a typical straight man; he just didn't want to date right now.

This world was too dangerous, with the existence of star beasts. Without enough strength, one might face death and despair at any time.

Finding a girlfriend would only add constraints.

And a girlfriend needs to be pampered, which is not as comfortable as being single.

Eat and sleep, sleep and eat.

Most importantly, he had no money.

A poor man shouldn't talk about love; it's a waste of time.

When the two arrived at Qin Yayan's house, Ye Xiao was slightly impressed.

Qin Yayan's house covered several hundred square meters, a small villa built in a low-key but luxurious style, with many pieces of furniture made of extremely expensive redwood.

But considering Qin Shenglong's status, it wasn't surprising.

"Meow~!"

As they passed through the courtyard, Hu Liuli, who was lying on Qin Yayan's chest, suddenly became excited.
