The two entered the hotel, sat down, and began to look over the menu.
After Xiao Si Nuo scanned the code with his phone, he ordered a few dishes himself and then handed it to Cheng Qi for him to pick.
After a while, Cheng Qi stared at his phone with a strange expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“You look for yourself!”
[Flower: Xu Chuyao and Shen Ning are getting engaged! Shen Shu said it was her idea, that’s so great~]
[Flower: What about you two~]
Xiao Si Yi cleared his throat under Cheng Qi’s strange gaze and quietly put away his phone.
“Before graduation, you mustn’t pay too much attention to these things,” Cheng Qi said seriously. “Focus on your studies!”
Xiao Si Nuo didn’t ask why it was only him and not the others.
“But, if I take another step… Then I won’t care anymore.” Cheng Qi said, “Until then, focus on your studies first!”
This brat hasn’t even gotten married yet, and you’re already about to start a family. In the future, when you become a teacher, you’ll have your chest full of worries for your students.
“Understood, understood.” Xiao Si Nuo put away his phone, grinning, “I’ll report the engagement news to the boss.”
He quickly sent a message to Flower.
[We’re getting engaged soon!]
Rather than waiting for Cheng Qi to drag him to the Head Teacher, he’d better wait until he graduates.
The call connected, and a sweet, soft girl’s voice came through, “Who is it?”
She sounded soft and cute, clearly young.
“Boss, we saw some people from the security department at the street corner. They said someone has sneaked into Center City.”
Xiao Si Nuo reported what had just happened, worried whether this would affect the wedding plans.
“No need to worry. If they’re really here for me, then it doesn’t matter where I am.”
After all, Yao Yao has invited all the fourth-tier experts of Center City~ At first, it was only Principal Lü, then Yu Jing and Shen Ning joined. As long as those three are around, the school and the hotel are equally safe.
“Then we’ll keep looking for a venue.”
“Alright, good luck.”
At Shengling Academy, after Xu Chuyao left the Principal’s Office, she answered a call and returned to her dorm to find her girlfriend.
Shen Ning had just seen off three female classmates, and the two met on the avenue.
“What are you waiting for, go give her a kiss.” The inner voice teased by her ear, “She’s not just your Female Classmate anymore, she’s your fiancée.”
Shen Ning thought, but according to procedure, you’re only engaged after exchanging tokens of affection, then you’re officially fiancées…
“That’s such a rigid procedure, don’t just sit online watching things all day!”
Just then, Xu Chuyao came over, and without warning hugged the girl, “Wife, let me be happy for a bit—”
mua-~
Shen Ning resentfully wiped away the saliva on her face, “Aren’t you supposed to wait until after exchanging tokens before calling me fiancée…”
“So happy!”
Xu Chuyao couldn’t help but laugh for a long while, “The way you look at things is so silly.”
Her inner voice covered its face with one hand, unable to bear it:
“Let me put it this way, if you don’t take the initiative now and pounce on her, maybe you still have a chance to save face. Otherwise, after marriage, you’ll just be endlessly pressed under her thumb.”
Either smothered to death, or pressed to death.
The inner voice’s words were so vivid that even the onlooker’s shadow couldn’t help but comment, “Wow, how can Chuyao be so scheming?”
“Only someone like you would call that scheming, you really are something… Anyway, bottom line is, if you don’t go after her now, after marriage you’re finished!”
Xu Chuyao let go of her girlfriend, only to find that she was standing rooted in place just like a frozen machine.
She wanted to wave her hand in front of her girlfriend’s eyes, but suddenly she saw a new prompt appear before her—
[Counter Villain Value: 1000
You have successfully made the heroine’s heart waver. For a cold-blooded assassin type heroine, this is a huge blow.]
So it turns out, not getting angry is actually useful.
Xu Chuyao was delighted, thinking maybe she should push her luck a little further and say something flirty.
Just as she was about to do so, she realized Shen Ning was staring straight at her, her delicate face tinged with an abnormal flush.
It’s said a girl’s blush beats all sweet words, but Chuyao sensed a hint of danger—this flush didn’t seem to be just from shyness, but also from anger.
“Shen Ning,” Xu Chuyao asked innocently, “Are you okay?”
The girl raised her head, then in one fluid motion stepped forward, threw her arms around the taller girl’s waist, and effortlessly lifted her up and carried her away.
The move was so smooth that Chuyao didn’t even react in time.
“Wait, what’s going on, what are you doing?”
Shen Ning said nothing, just continued striding forward.
“Put me down.” Xu Chuyao struggled in the air, “Put me down now!”
But Shen Ning didn’t put her down at all. Instead, she carried her into the dorm, and even carried her upstairs.
Don’t ask what’s upstairs, just know it’s heaven. In heaven, there’s wild wind and rain, and also diligent fingers.
“That’s right, this is how it should be.” The inner voice commented proudly, “She’ll hit you suddenly, and you can hit her back too!”
If you use your little claws to attack, then you can also attack her little claws.
Since they were alone in Shen Ning’s room, and it was daytime, there was no fear of being discovered or having the wind blow the quilt out the window.
But an hour later, Xu Chuyao sat up on the bed with a sore waist, having been “strengthened” a few times already. She was exhausted, barely able to last that long.
“You’re stealing!” The girl pressed her little hand on her girlfriend’s shoulder, “Do you even want to get married or not!”
If Chuyao were to be “brought over” to the other side, even for a day or two, all those preparations wouldn’t get done and they’d never make the deadline of July seventh.
This reason finally convinced Shen Ning. She calmed down, sitting gently by Chuyao’s side.
“It’s all your fault, suddenly attacking me like that,” she said.
Xu Chuyao muttered softly, “Then I won’t kiss you in the future.”
“No way!”
Shen Ning blurted out, then realized her reaction was too strong, quickly adding, “I’m not saying you can’t kiss me, but you can’t just do it out of nowhere without saying anything.”
“Got it, then I’ll write you a report before I do it next time.”
“…No need, just tell me is enough.”
Her inner voice again covered its face with one hand: “Chuyao, you’re really something, acting all weird and serious, and she even answers you seriously.”
Since they couldn’t mess around, the two just sat together and discussed wedding preparations.
“I had Xiao Si Nuo and the others go inspect hotels,” Xu Chuyao said. “They’re out on a field trip today.”
Shen Ning thought about it, then asked, “How many people can those hotels accommodate?”
“They can fit a few hundred easily,” Xu Chuyao answered confidently, “Those are the big hotels in Center City!”
“Just for the two of us?”
“A dozen or so… That should be enough, but why do you need so many people?”
Xu Chuyao suddenly realized their school had several thousand people. If you randomly invited just a portion, it wouldn’t make much sense.
“Not classmates. Only a few acquaintances from school will be invited.” Shen Ning glanced around, making sure no one else was in her dorm, then whispered, “I want to bring over some people from the Crystal Stone World. They… are very loyal.”
Xu Chuyao was taken aback, staring at her girlfriend for half a minute, realizing she was serious.
“People from the Crystal Stone World?”
Nod.
“The souls of those who have already died in the human world?”
Nod.
“How will they get here? You’ll use Strange Stone to summon them during the ceremony?”
Nod, nod.
Xu Chuyao hesitated for a moment, then pulled out her phone and called the earlier number.
“Hello? Boss, we just finished eating and are about to check out the next hotel.”
“No need.”
“Huh?”
“No need to check out hotels in the city. Go check out a farmstay instead.”
The seats and space aren’t the main issue. The biggest problem is accommodating a thousand souls who need an equal amount of “quality.”
The hotels in the city can’t handle it. Only at a farmstay, borrowing the power of nature, can this be achieved.
