CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU’RE MAKING ME DUMB

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Shiwu with gratitude, and Shiwu smiled as he helped Lin Xiaoyan put it on her wrist.

"Alright, let’s go down and eat together."

Originally, Lin Xiaoyan thought she would have insomnia after sleeping the entire afternoon, but when she opened her eyes again, it was already six in the morning the next day.

She hadn’t slept that well in ages!

Lin Xiaoyan got up energetically and found that Xuan Shisan and Shiwu were already up.

When she went downstairs, everyone was eating.

"Yanyan, over here!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan, Xuan Shiwu immediately waved her over.

Lin Xiaoyan walked over, and Xuan Shiwu handed her meal to her.

"Thank you."

Xuan Shiyi glanced at Lin Xiaoyan’s complexion, "Looks like you slept well last night."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Mm, all thanks to the calming talisman Xuan Wu gave me."

"As long as you slept well, once we’re done eating, we’ll head up the mountain."

Xuan Shiyi sighed; they had discussed the issues in Hemu Village with Xuan Wu and others for a long time last night but didn’t come up with anything useful.

It seems Hemu Village’s problem is quite tricky indeed.

"Cough, cough..."

Xuan Shiyi looked towards Lin Xiaoyan, "Well, before we leave, can we shake hands?"

Everyone at the table suddenly looked at Xuan Shiyi.

Lin Xiaoyan: "...... Okay."

Xuan Shiyi felt at ease, looking at the others, "What? Objections? If you have any, keep them to yourselves! I’m doing this for everyone’s good!"

Xuan Er glanced at Lin Xiaoyan, who was blushing and eating with her head down, and looked at Xuan Shiyi.

"Stay away from me; I’m afraid your stupidity will affect me!"

Xuan Shiyi: ???

The others stifled their laughter.

Xuan Er looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Xiao Lin... Xiao Yan."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, puzzled, at Xuan Er.

"Pass me the teapot next to you, I want some water."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the teapot by her hand, "There’s not much left, let me refill it for you."

"No need, this is fine, just to wet my mouth." Xuan Er said softly.

"Oh, okay."

Lin Xiaoyan picked up the teapot and got up to hand it to Xuan Er across from her.

"I’ll do it!" Xuan Jiu stood up, trying to help.

"Sit down!"

Xuan Jiu had just lifted his seat slightly but immediately sat back down.

Xuan Er stood up and took the teapot from Lin Xiaoyan.

In everyone’s eyes, Xuan Er’s hand touched Lin Xiaoyan’s as he took the teapot.

"Sorry." Xuan Er apologized softly, retracting his hand and taking the teapot.

Lin Xiaoyan: .........

Xuan Shiyi: !!!

Everyone else: ??!!

Lin Xiaoyan sat back down expressionlessly, looking at Xuan Shiyi.

Xuan Shiyi nodded, indicating he got the point!

"Cough, cough... Umm, Xiao Yan, could you..."

Xuan Shiyi glanced at the object beside Lin Xiaoyan, "Could you pass me the tofu in front of you, I want to eat it!"

Everyone’s eyes turned to the plate in front of Lin Xiaoyan, only to see a tiny piece of tofu... remnants!

Lin Xiaoyan: ...speechless and didn’t want to say anything.

Xuan Er closed his eyes and got up to leave; he didn’t want to see this fool!

Xuan Shiyi also felt a bit awkward, "Never mind, I won’t eat it then!"

The people behind them, including Gongben, watched their interaction with confusion, not understanding a bit!

After Lin Xiaoyan and the others left, Gongben and his group moved to where Lin Xiaoyan was sitting.

One person first picked up the teapot that Lin Xiaoyan had just used, opened it to smell, then shook his head at Gongben.

Gongben looked down at the piece of tofu remnant, picked it up, and tasted it...

The owner who witnessed the whole scene: ... What kind of problem do these people have?!

They don’t seem like they’re lacking money; they could easily order another portion if they wanted to eat!

Tch, no wonder they come from Little Dog Country, always liking to eat others’ leftovers!

Suddenly, a few cars with red celebratory characters stopped at the door.

The owner saw and greeted them with a smile.

"You’re here, come in, come in, please wait for a moment, the previous guests are just about to leave!"

Many people got out of the cars; it was the wedding party.

The bride wore a red dress and hadn’t gotten dressed up yet; she would dress and do her makeup tomorrow morning, waiting for the groom to pick her up.

"Qin Qin, please get my suitcase out, and make sure to keep an eye on it," the bride said to her bridesmaid, also her college classmate, Zhou Qin.

Zhou Qin nodded gently, "Alright."

She had specially taken leave from her company to be a bridesmaid for her friend and traveled from the State for this.

She never imagined her good friend would choose to marry in such a remote place.

Even more unexpected was that the wedding would only take place the next day because the groom’s side said they had checked the date and needed to postpone it.

And yet, her friend accepted this; she couldn’t understand but it was her friend’s choice, so she said nothing.

Zhou Qin went back to the car and got the bride’s red suitcase, carrying it in her hand.

She sat down in the hall.

During this time, not a single person offered her water; everyone was happily chatting, and the bride was video-calling her husband.

Zhou Qin sat there alone, feeling bored, so she lowered her head and started browsing her phone.

Lin Xiaoyan and her group quickly packed up and checked out.

Everyone imitated the way Xuan Er casually bumped into Lin Xiaoyan earlier.

Xuan Shiyi watched them and deliberately walked to Lin Xiaoyan’s side, patting her on the shoulder.

"When we go up the mountain later, be careful!"

After patting Lin Xiaoyan’s shoulder, Xuan Shiyi walked ahead with big strides.

Halfway through, he stopped, turned around, and indeed, saw Lin Xiaoyan standing there in a daze.

Xuan Shiyi’s heart skipped a beat; not now, earlier everyone was fine, why’s something happening only to him!!!

Xuan Shiwu noticed Lin Xiaoyan not moving and, to avoid Gongben and the others noticing something was wrong, she reached out and held Lin Xiaoyan’s arm.

Xuan Shisan also noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s situation and immediately stepped forward to hold Lin Xiaoyan’s other arm.

Originally, Lin Xiaoyan had already "seen" the scene of Xuan Shiyi; as soon as Shiwu and Shisan grabbed her arm, she once again "saw" some scenes.

Xuan Er came over at this moment, signaling Shiwu and Shisan to lead Lin Xiaoyan forward.

Thus, while "watching" the scene, Lin Xiaoyan was unconsciously led forward by Shisan and Shiwu.

A moment later, Lin Xiaoyan finally finished watching all the scenes and took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?"

Xuan Shiwu asked cautiously.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shiwu and Xuan Shisan with a complex expression, feeling all the surrounding eyes on her, she shook her head without saying anything.

Xuan Shiyi also noticed the eyes from the Gouzi Country’s side, and he moved in front of Lin Xiaoyan, blocking their view.

Xuan Qi, Xuan Liu, and others surrounded Lin Xiaoyan, Shisan, and Shiwu in the center.

Seeing the Hua Country people’s behavior, Gongben and the others were even more convinced that this unfamiliar girl must be special!

When everyone gathered to go downstairs and check out, they saw some people had arrived in the hall and outside.

These were supposed to be the wedding party the owner mentioned yesterday.

Seeing foreigners, the people in the wedding party all turned their eyes towards them, pointing and discussing among themselves in their dialect.
