Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 617 Bai Li Disagrees
Bai Li had Gu Yan’s class schedule, so he wouldn’t disturb her during her classes.
And at this time, Gu Yan would either be home or still in the dorm.
He actually hadn’t seen Gu Yan for just two days and wanted to see her.
That feeling of comfort when he was by Gu Yan’s side had grown stronger over time.
Gu Yan: "Oh, I’m over by the auditorium."
Bai Li looked at the message on his light brain, furrowed his brows slightly, and muttered to himself, "The auditorium?"
It just so happened that Ji Mu passed by, and he turned back to say, "You’re going to the auditorium too? But today is the gathering for the Beastmen. I hear the buffet there is provided by the Su Family Restaurant, and I really want to go."
Although it’s said to be organized for Beastmen, to prevent them from going wild during their Manic-Depressive Period, so single Beastmen could find girlfriends in advance.
The same goes for female Beastmen.
But... they didn’t say Insectoids can’t go.
What if a female Beastman took a liking to him? Of course, he wouldn’t agree right away! He’d definitely have to think it over. Marriage is no trivial matter!
Unless that female Beastman was as beautiful as Gu Yan!
Yet Bai Li’s handsome brows knitted tightly together.
Xiaoyan went to the gathering?
Ji Mu then realized as well, and his butterfly wings immediately opened, "Your expression looks so ugly. Could it be that Gu Yan went too? That won’t do; aren’t you pursuing her? Come on, hurry up. We might still make it in time for the hot food... ah no, I mean the first dance!"
"What first dance?"
"It’s the chance to invite the person you like to dance the first dance. If Gu Yan accepts someone else’s invitation, it shows she has a good impression of that person! Hey, why are you so dull? I’ve never seen such a slow-witted Insectoid. Hurry, hurry!"
Ji Mu pulled Bai Li and started to head outside, but after a few steps, he stopped.
"Ah, are we just going in our school uniforms? Forget it, it’s useless to worry about that now, if we’re any later, it won’t matter what we wear!"
Although Ji Mu was pulling him along hastily, Bai Li wasn’t angry at his irreverence; his mind was filled with what Ji Mu had said.
If Gu Yan accepted someone else’s invitation and danced together.
Would that mean she liked that person?
His usually calm eyes suddenly darkened, turning extremely cold.
No.
He disagreed.
Meanwhile, Gu Yan checked her light brain. Bai Li hadn’t sent any more messages, so she didn’t think too much of it, figuring that he probably didn’t have anything urgent.
If he had, he would have called her directly through the communication hologram.
In fact, most of the time, the two of them exchanged messages about everyday life.
Like when Gu Yan got home and her mom made something delicious, she would take a photo and send it to Bai Li, and Bai Li would also ask her what she was doing and so on.
On the other hand, Vivian tugged at her, "Xiaoyan, those pastries over there look really good. Shall we have some?"
"Sure."
The person in charge of the buffet from the Su Family Restaurant was someone Gu Yan wasn’t very familiar with, but he seemed to know her very well, showing great excitement when he saw her, and even had someone bring out a special selection of pastries.
"Miss Yan, these are limited edition pastries. Please try them with your friend."
"Mm, thank you."
Su Wan was the owner of the Su Family Restaurant, and her doting on her daughter Gu Yan was known to everyone.
The plate of pastries wasn’t large, but they were exquisitely made and shaped like various animals.
Yes, it is an animal that existed on Ancient Earth, which is different from the form of today’s Star Beasts. It shows that the chef really put thought into this.
The taste is extremely good, and the flavors are very rich.
Gu Yan and Vivian then chose some other items and planned to go sit in a corner to eat.
"Gu Yan, you’re here too."
Just as Gu Yan and Vivian sat down, someone came over, also dressed in a school uniform, with a gentle look in their eyes.
It was none other than Mu Feng.
Gu Yan smiled with a mix of politeness and embarrassment, quite distantly and formally, "Hmm."
She didn’t look like she wanted to talk much.
But Mu Feng actually sat down directly across from them.
Lost in the delightful pastries, Vivian didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, but Gu Yan slightly furrowed her brows. She spoke with a touch of helplessness, "Previously Luo Xixi misunderstood, and I also don’t think I am familiar with you, so could you possibly avoid suspicion and sit somewhere else? If not, we can leave."
Mu Feng: "Gu Yan, don’t misunderstand, I have already canceled my engagement with Luo Xixi. I am now... single."
"Whether you’re single or not has nothing to do with me, and besides..." Gu Yan lifted her head, catching a glimpse of Luo Xixi approaching with a gloomy expression, she was somewhat speechless, "Vivian, let’s go sit somewhere else, shall we?"
"Hmm, okay."
"Gu Yan..."
Mu Feng frowned. He actually wanted to take advantage of the relationship between the two families, slowly work on it. He was thrilled to discover Gu Yan at the mixer today, so he wanted to get closer.
He didn’t want to rush to express his fondness; he just hoped to keep other people from approaching Gu Yan.
But he hadn’t expected that Gu Yan would actually dislike him?
The next moment, Mu Feng saw Luo Xixi approaching, she bit the corner of her mouth, "Mu Feng, let’s talk!"
Mu Feng rubbed his temples, "I think we’ve already talked things through."
"But I don’t want to end the engagement!"
"Matters of the heart involve both parties, and besides, our relationship isn’t that deep. It’s better to part ways early if it’s not the right fit. Moreover, with so many outstanding boys at the dance event today, since you’ve come, you can choose a new future partner."
Luo Xixi’s eyes began to redden, "So, are you here to choose your future partner as well?"
She glanced at the departing Gu Yan, "But it seems like she doesn’t want to bother with you!"
"Luo Xixi!"
Mu Feng frowned, took a deep breath, and turned to leave, indifferent to Luo Xixi’s tantrum behind him.
After graduating, he would join the military, and his future prospects were boundless.
Even if Gu Yan truly didn’t fancy him, he couldn’t marry Gu Yan, he could still marry other girls of high status... The Luo Family was beginning to decline, and besides, Luo Xixi was too pampered and had a bad temper.
Such a person was not suitable to be his, Mu Feng’s, wife.
As more people entered, the first dance was about to begin.
Gu Yan chuckled to Vivian, "Stop eating for now, or you’ll get hiccups while dancing later."
Vivian said, "But those foods are really delicious. How about we continue eating after we dance the first song?"
"Sure."
At that moment, the announcer started speaking on the loudspeaker.
"The first dance is about to begin. In a moment, the lights will go out, and you will have three minutes to quickly find the dance partner you fancy. When the lights come back on, you can then invite the person you like to dance. Of course, if the other person refuses, you’ll have to wait for the second song to choose a different dance partner."
Gu Yan was startled.
They were going to turn off the lights?
