The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 570 - 456: Celebration Banquet and Preparing the New Home
"Because time is on your side."
"With your talent, if you become a True Man or even higher, all of this would be things you could effortlessly overcome. There’s no need to lose sight of your goals."
"..."
Lin Guang was slightly taken aback and nodded gently.
Then.
After conversing with Kong Guofeng for quite some time and discussing future plans, the crowd around Lin Guang finally calmed down a bit. The groups surrounding him in the banquet hall naturally dispersed into small circles engaged in their conversations.
At this moment, Lin Guang finally had the chance to look at the figure quietly waiting for him in a corner of the hall.
It was Miaomiao.
Today, she wore a moon-white dress, tailored perfectly to accentuate her slender and elegant figure.
Her long, silky black hair draped down her back like silk, with a small Golden Birch Leaf hairpin tucked within, shimmering under the soft lights of the banquet hall.
Aside from Kaelis, who still hadn’t attended this banquet, she was genuinely the last person left.
In Lin Guang’s memory, this was also her first time attending such an event.
But at this moment, she seemed completely at ease, displaying such beauty and grace.
Miaomiao stood there quietly, her bright golden-yellow eyes gazing intently at Lin Guang, with a smile she couldn’t hide in her eyes.
Clearly, she purposely allowed Lin Guang to find her last.
The surrounding cacophony seemed to quietly fade away at this moment.
Lin Guang weaved through the crowd and stood in front of her.
"I’m back."
He looked into her eyes and said gently.
Miaomiao nodded vigorously, her face breaking into a smile more radiant than the lights of the banquet hall, responding crisply, "Mm, welcome back."
Lin Guang also smiled, taking out the small lip balm from his pocket, "By the way, this turned out to be quite useful. Thank you."
This seemingly random comment held a mutual understanding between them.
Perhaps it was just the play of colorful lights in the banquet hall.
But Lin Guang distinctly saw a faint blush sweep across her fair cheeks.
The girl averted her gaze and whispered, "...that’s good then."
The boy and girl stood side by side, looking out the window at the scenery.
Beneath the night sky, the neon and lights of Zhen Sheng City Center flowed like a densely coursing river of molten gold, silently pulsing through the veins of the city.
Suddenly in a playful mood, Lin Guang began a countdown under Miaomiao’s surprised gaze.
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
Then—
Pop!
In the boy’s hand appeared a few Ethereal Crystals, and he snapped his fingers.
The Ethereal Crystals silently crumbled into powder, and stars and flame colors flickered at his fingertips.
Then...
Outside the glass curtain wall, a massive, breathtakingly beautiful firework suddenly exploded in the nearby night sky, without any forewarning.
The scarlet flames hadn’t yet fully fallen before transforming into ethereal blue specks, and then burst forth again, golden lights surging from within like giant vines, instantly cascading over the entire glass curtain wall.
Finally, they formed into a pattern of Golden Birch Leaves, with veins so vivid it seemed as if light was flowing within.
It was in the style of Miaomiao’s hairpin.
Most of the people in the hall revealed expressions of astonishment, even Kong Guofeng and Bai Wu True Man slightly turned their heads—they felt the fluctuation of True Intent.
This firework was released by Lin Guang.
Lin Guang spoke with a smile, "Though I don’t remember exactly what that glowing leaf looked like before, it probably looked something like this."
Miaomiao was momentarily stunned.
Then, she smiled.
Her bright, beautiful eyes curved into crescents, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Without needing more words, a knowing glance spoke volumes more than a thousand words could.
......
After the banquet ended, life returned to a temporary peace.
But in the month before setting off to embrace new challenges, Lin Guang still had many things to do.
With the growth of the three girls and Lin Guang’s need for more space, their existing apartment had become somewhat cramped.
Thus, Lin Guang purchased a three-story villa with a small garden in a serene and securely guarded community on the outskirts of Mingguang District.
This house and its garden would travel with them across the land, accompanying them to university.
Even their old home in Haiyue District, Lin Guang didn’t plan to abandon; he wanted to keep it with him as well.
So in the days that followed, aside from the daily training to maintain Status and occasionally visiting Kaelis or Kong Guofeng to discuss matters, the four of them eagerly focused their energy on planning and decorating their new home.
Lin Guang was willing to spare no expense on the new home’s budget, hiring numerous design and renovation companies online. He discussed and revised plans many times, even referencing the layout of manor villas on the Floating Island.
Ultimately, the overall style of the villa was decided to be a warm, modern wood theme.
The living room on the first floor was spacious and bright, with a grand floor-to-ceiling window looking out on the lush garden.
The four of them together selected a large beige modular sofa big enough for everyone to sink into, soft like a cloud yet offering perfect support for the back. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Vishdair immediately found the most comfortable spot and declared it her exclusive throne.
A thick, long-pile carpet was laid in front of the sofa, beside which was a Spiritual Artifact Fireplace powered by Ethereal Crystals.
Though with Zhen Sheng City’s climate, it was merely an atmospheric feature, who could say where this room might appear in the future.
A large 150-inch television was centrally placed in the living room, perfectly replicating the layout of luxury villas on the Floating Island.
