Xueying's rhetorical question caused the atmosphere between the two to cool down instantly. For a moment, Bai Xiaofei didn't know what to say.
"We invite our protagonist tonight, Qin Lingyan!"
At this moment, Bai Ye, who was presiding over the coming-of-age ceremony, stood in front of the stage and attracted everyone's attention. After a moment, Qin Lingyan, who was wearing a formal dress, slowly walked up, and the others stopped what they were doing at the same time.
They talked and looked at each other with amazement.
"Thank you very much for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. I hope my reception did not disappoint you. If you have the opportunity to go to Bauhinia in the future, feel free to come to me. I will make you feel at home!"
With that said, Qin Lingyan bowed slightly to everyone.
At the same time, as Qin Lingyan's speech ended, Bai Ye walked up again. I don't know if it was Bai Xiaofei's imagination, but Bai Ye seemed to look at him with a different look when he came on stage.
"The most exciting moment comes next. Which man here will be lucky enough to win the favor of our protagonist and become her dance partner!"
Bai Ye's words aroused everyone's interest, and for a moment, the eyes of most men present shone with light.
Being invited by Qin Lingyan made them feel very good about themselves.
However, Bai Xiaofei's state of mind was completely different from theirs...
After swallowing his saliva, Bai Xiaofei finally understood where his worries came from. Looking towards Hu Xian'er and the others, Bai Xiaofei saw a look that wanted to kill someone.
It must be Bai Xiaofei!
This point has been reached in the hearts of several women, and this time, they cannot stop it...
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Lingyan slowly walked down from the stage. As expected, Qin Lingyan did not "disappoint" Bai Xiaofei and others at all, and walked straight towards him.
"Won't you ask me to dance?"
Smiling at Bai Xiaofei, Qin Lingyan turned her head and asked.
After coming back to his senses, Bai Xiaofei quickly smiled, then slowly bowed and stretched out his right hand.
"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance?"
As Qing Lingyan slowly put her hand on Bai Xiaofei's hand, gentle music started playing.
"Don't tell me this is your first time dancing."
The number of dancers increased one by one. Following Bai Xiaofei's clumsy dance steps, Qing Lingyan's face showed a hint of complaint.
"I gave it to you the first time, shouldn't you be happy?"
Bai Xiaofei said the opposite, and Qin Lingyan rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaofei.
"Listen to me and follow my footsteps. If you step on my feet again, you won't be able to leave tonight!"
Threatening Bai Xiaofei viciously, Qin Lingyan's tone contained a hint of seriousness.
"No way, do you think you have to commit yourself to someone else if you step on your feet?"
Bai Xiaofei showed a decent expression of surprise, and then was stepped on by Qin Lingyan.
"It's so nice of you to ask you to stay and clean my shoes!"
Knowing that something good was coming, Bai Xiaofei immediately learned to be honest, and this simple social dance was indeed not difficult for Bai Xiaofei. Under Qin Lingyan's guidance, Bai Xiaofei soon got used to it.
Gradually, the two became the best couple on the dance floor. Coupled with their eye-catching costumes, they directly became the focus of everyone.
"If you are so close to me, your group of warblers will definitely be jealous."
After jumping around, Qin Lingyan suddenly changed the topic, and Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but be startled.
Following Qin Lingyan's words, he glanced at where Hu Xian'er and others were, only to find that the women were chatting to themselves, with no intention of looking over at all.
Although he knew that this reaction was definitely not normal, Bai Xiaofei still breathed a sigh of relief.
It is better to settle accounts in the future than to repay them in this world...
"They will understand."
Bai Xiaofei said it bravely, but Bai Xiaofei didn't know any more appropriate answer.
"Oh? So they are quite virtuous."
Qin Lingyan's tone became more and more strange, and her questions became more and more tricky.
"The word "virtuous" is not used yet. The character "horoscope" has only just been written. And no one knows what will happen in the future, but I will try my best."
Bai Xiaofei didn't mean to avoid it. He didn't feel itchy when there were too many fleas. He was now accustomed to this problem.
Others may still worry about what impact they are afraid of, but Bai Xiaofei is not afraid. What he is really afraid of is that Qin Lingyan will become one of the moths that flutters into the fire.
I owe so much emotional debt that I really can't afford to pay it back...
"If I said I wanted you to go to Bauhinia with me, would you be willing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiaofei was stunned.
After a while, Bai Xiaofei looked at Qin Lingyan seriously and asked slowly.
"Are you...serious?"
"You think I'm joking?"
Qin Lingyan asked back, and Bai Xiaofei's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"I may go to Bauhinia, but it's definitely not because of one person. And like I just said, I may not be able to do it right now, but I can't let go of the people there."
As he said this, Bai Xiaofei's eyes were full of determination.
After listening to Bai Xiaofei's words, Qing Lingyan did not show any strange expression on her face, but instead showed a faint smile.
"Come with me to finish this dance."
The topic ended here, and neither of them spoke again for the next few minutes, until the music ended and everyone stopped.
"Thank you for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. I will never forget it."
After saying that, Qin Lingyan smiled at Bai Xiaofei, and then gently kissed the side of Bai Xiaofei's face under everyone's gaze.
The voices of cheering suddenly started, but Qing Lingyan walked directly to the stage as if nothing happened.
"That's it for today. If you didn't enjoy yourself to the fullest, I'll make it up to you later, but I'm really tired today."
After saying that, Qin Lingyan didn't wait for the guests to react. Qin Lingyan walked out directly, so that the guests who didn't react were stunned at the same time.
What rhythm is this?!
Is there such a thing?!
"It's getting late, let's disperse. We will have another chance in the future."
Bai Ye stood up to smooth things over, and the group of people gradually dispersed. In the end, only Bai Xiaofei and others were left in the room.
"Ling Yan asked me to give this to you. I hope this thing can help you one day."
With that said, Bai Ye handed Bai Xiaofei a wooden box that exuded the fragrance of medicine. Bai Xiaofei, who was used to seeing good things, instantly saw that this was not an ordinary item.
"This is……"
"You pretended to be sick, and Ling Yan went back to ask for medicine. Her father gave her this, an eighth-level resurrection pill, a seventh-level life-saving pill, and an eighth-level living dead. This is what she found for you."
Bai Ye spoke slowly, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"But as far as I know, the relationship between Ling Yan and her father is not very good, so she may have paid a lot to get this pill."
After saying that, Bai Ye also walked out, leaving Bai Xiaofei stunned for a long time without coming back to his senses...
