A large area of roses bloomed at the corner, and layers of flower branches covered the main entrance of the castle. Xu Yinian suddenly said: "It's okay, they can't see it."
Yu Huai glanced at him, stopped, but still did not let go of his hand.
Xu Yinian jumped ahead of him and said, "I know you're using me as a shield, although it's quite sudden, but I can understand..."
Facing Yu Huai's gaze, Xu Yinian became more and more confident as he spoke, and finally laughed twice.
Yu Huai didn't say a word, in such a suffocating atmosphere, Xu Yinian wished he could disappear immediately.
finally.
Yu Huai said with deep meaning: "You cooperated very well."
Seeing him going down the steps, Xu Yinian heaved a sigh of relief, and replied indiscriminately: "Sure, where and what to do. Cough, I mean you helped me, of course I will help you too."
Yu Huai let go of his hand, but he leaned forward: "Then I need your help next time."
The distance was too close, his eyes seemed to cover Xu Yinian's body, bringing a sense of presence that could not be ignored. Realizing what he meant by helping, Xu Yinian's face was a little dry, but he quickly agreed: "Okay, no problem."
Footsteps came from behind the rose bushes, Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng walked around the corner one after the other, and seeing him and Yu Huai standing together looked very exciting, especially Xia Ziheng, who took out 120,000 yuan when he shouldn't be conscious Very self-conscious: "Sorry to bother you!"
Xu Yinian gave him a hard look.
In contrast, Chen Ran was much more reliable, he looked at Yu Huai, then at Xu Yinian, and asked in a natural tone: "Let's ask you, do you want to go back together?"
Even so, at the end Chen Ran's expression couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Xu Yinian immediately grasped at straws: "Of course we are together."
He turned to Yu Huai and said, "Then let's go, thank you for today."
I don't know whether Yu Huai was intentional or unintentional, he smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng were hit again, and they looked at Xu Yinian in unison. Xu Yinian didn't know how to answer the words: "Thank you, I still have to thank you... No need to give it away! Nan Zhi gave me the teleportation spell bead."
After Xu Yinian finished speaking, he crushed the curse orb, and after the space was shattered, he dragged Xia Ziheng and Chen Ran away.
The curse bead that Nan Zhi gave him landed near the academy, his feet almost touched the ground, Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng supported him from left to right.
Chen Ran: "What's going on? Explain."
Xia Ziheng: "Little Brother Xu! You must speak clearly today! You actually married behind my back?!"
Xia Ziheng's voice was so loud that the passing students looked at him in surprise. Xu Yinian endured it, so he didn't shoot Xia Ziheng into the ground: "What does it mean to marry behind your back, it's not what you think."
He briefly explained the blood contract and the marriage contract, and Chen Ran was dubious: "The ghost clan has this contract? Why have I never heard of it?"
"This marriage contract is too buggy." Xia Ziheng marveled, "Then if it's signed and then canceled, and then canceled after signing... so that it is refreshed again and again, won't the other contracts be invalid forever?"
"Refresh, you are playing a game, how many times do you plan to get married in your life?"
Unlike Xia Ziheng who only cared about the magic of the contract, Chen Ran frowned slightly.
When Yu Huai and Xu Yinian got into trouble like that at the beginning, Yu Huai was not a soft-hearted and helpful character, but rather ruthless and strong. He did his best to help Xu Yinian when he was in trouble, if he didn't like Xu Yinian, it wouldn't be justified.
But Xu Yinian...
Chen Ran sighed in his heart, and reminded him intentionally: "You should be careful, after all, the marriage contract is not a trivial matter. If you owe a lot of favors, you might pay yourself out of it."
"I know," Xu Yinian said seriously, "If he needs me in the future, no matter what it is, I will definitely help him."
Xia Ziheng gave a thumbs up: "Repay the favor!"
Chen Ran's head hurt even more when he heard this: "... I'm afraid that what you think is different from what he wants."
"Since you and Boss Yu have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Xia Ziheng relaxed, looking at his phone while saying, "Tomorrow's graduation ceremony, my brother asked me to go home and change clothes."
The graduation ceremony of Fengqiao College started at night. Xia Ziheng thought that he could sleep well after returning home, so he walked leisurely at night, but he was woken up by Chen Ran early in the morning and asked him to come to the auditorium to help with the decoration.
Xia Ziheng and the boy next to him covered the ceiling of the auditorium with nebulae. He was not very good at using movement spells, and it took a lot of effort to adjust the position of the nebula with his head raised. However, the planning requirements of the student union are very strict, and the girl must make the ceiling show "a dreamlike effect like a galaxy flowing." Xia Ziheng and the boys managed to form a Milky Way, with golden stars in their eyes, Chen Ran came over with two bottles of water.
He handed the water to the boy and Xia Ziheng respectively, and the boy took it with a smile: "Thank you, President."
"Thanks." Xia Ziheng unscrewed the bottle cap, "Where's Brother Xu?"
"I can't get through the phone, I'm probably sleeping."
Xia Ziheng understood: "He fell asleep as if he was dead, and even thunder can't wake him up."
Speaking of this, Chen Ran answered the phone again, and when he heard him ordering various matters on the other side, Xia Ziheng said with emotion: "Your student union is really busy."
Xia Ziheng took the time to look at his phone. Several group chats were frantically scrolling through messages. He checked and found that everyone was discussing the selection of outstanding graduates with great interest.
Maple Bridge College has a long history. For hundreds of years since its establishment, the maple lantern ceremony at the graduation ceremony has been handed down to this day. Every year, outstanding graduates of the current year are voted by students to light up the maple lanterns. However, the school has always had a unique style of painting. Not only the teacher team has an old fox like Yuan Mu who does not play cards according to common sense, but the students are also very rebellious. After voting one after another, everyone has tacitly changed the voting rules. The teachers hope that everyone will vote for outstanding graduates, and the students are abruptly distorted into the selection of the school flower.
Su Tang sent the voting link to the group. According to the usual practice, a man and a woman should be voted for. Su Tang shouted under this link: [Sisters, sisters, vote for Xu Yinian! ]
Xia Ziheng clicked on the link, the boy Li Chen had the most votes, Xu Yinian and him were 70 or 80 votes behind, and their grades were only more than 100 people, so it can be seen that almost the students of the entire college participated: Brother Xu is the school grass? It's a little bit worse. ]
Su Tang: [No, he is the school belle. ]
Xia Ziheng was greatly shocked.
Other girls in the group chattered: [I usually don't dare to look at him, it's a rare opportunity, vote for him and appreciate it! ]
[Will the big brother make a bad face? ]
[It doesn't matter if you have a stinky face, school girls with stinky faces are all pretty! ]
[Yes! After all, it is the most beautiful session. ]
Looking at the most beautiful class, Xia Ziheng almost laughed out loud: [Little brother Xu may not be able to laugh if he knows. ]
Xia Ziheng: [But it's okay, I'm here. ]
"Look at this," Xia Ziheng patted Chen Ran after seeing him on the phone, "Everyone is voting for you and little brother Xu."
"What do you mean?" Chen Ran turned his head in confusion.
"You are the school grass, he is the school flower."
"..." Chen Ran obviously also thought of the honor that Xu Yinian won after the school celebration, and Xia Ziheng didn't need to remind him, Chen Ran watched the excitement as a big deal, "Send me the link."
"Do you think he will run away when he wakes up?"
"If you don't run wild, you may doubt your life."
"President, are you all voting for Xu Yinian?" The boy who was decorating the ceiling together saw that they were in high spirits, and interjected curiously.
Chen Ran hummed, Xia Ziheng asked with a smile: "Who did you vote for?"
"I also want to vote for Xu Yinian," the boy was more conscientious, "but will the boss be unhappy?"
"How could it be? This is everyone's recognition of him." Xia Ziheng said righteously, "Don't worry, just vote for him. Let's watch jokes together tonight... Ah no, look at the school belle."
As night fell, the auditorium by the Fenghu Lake was brightly lit. In addition to the graduates and teachers, invited guests also came to the Fenghu Lake one after another. Many students of Fengqiao College spontaneously led the way around.
"Hello, classmates, are you Fuyao's students?" The girl looked at a man and a woman approaching gradually, and approached with a smile.
In order to strengthen the communication between Demon Master Academy and Yaozu Academy, Yaozu from Fuyao Academy will be invited to participate in the graduation ceremony of Fengqiao Academy every year. The oncoming boy was tall and tall, with emerald green eyes, and the girl was slender and tall, with rare peach pink pupils and hair. No matter in terms of temperament or appearance, neither of them looked like human beings.
Lu Chao nodded: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Our college is voting for outstanding graduates, and Fuyao's student ID can also log into Fengqiao's website. May I trouble you to vote for a student?" The girl said while zooming in on the web page on her phone, pointing to one of them Said, "That's the student."
Cen Tao, who was originally out of interest, glanced at the photo, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, so cute! Vote for him?"
The girl did not expect this cold-looking young lady from the Yaozu to say: "Yes, real people look better than photos! If you get more votes, you can watch him on stage tonight!"
Cen Tao: "Wow!"
Lu Chao looked strange and didn't speak. After the girl left, he pressed Cen Tao's finger that was about to move, and gritted his teeth softly: "This is Xu Yinian."
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Lu Chao felt unlucky when he mentioned this name: "How did Yu Huai treat him, how did he treat Yu Huai? What's wrong with these people in Fengqiao, can a scumbag be an outstanding graduate?"
Cen Tao turned a deaf ear and was still admiring the photos: "Why didn't you tell me that Xu Yi is so old? No wonder you attack nothing but looks."
Lu Chao held back for a long time: "... What's the use of being good-looking, the most important thing is the beauty of the soul!"
Cen Tao finished fiddling with her phone, and reached out to Lu Chao: "Give me your phone, I'll vote for him."
Seeing that Yangou's girlfriend was not on the same channel as him at all, Lu Chao had no choice but to bear the humiliation and gave her the phone. Cen Tao tapped, Lu Chao couldn't help asking: "Do you know that he and Yu Huai..."
"Thanks to you talking about it every day, I can recite Yu Huai's experience back and forth. No one has ever said that they hate Xu Yinian, why are you so anxious?" Cen Tao blocked him back, "Don't bother me to see the handsome guy."
"Oh." Lu Chao couldn't talk to her, so he could only shut up aggrievedly.
At eight o'clock, the fireworks were in full bloom over the college. Loud bangs sounded like dull thunder, Xu Yinian woke up from his sleep, and glanced dazedly at the colorful sky outside the dormitory building.
He opened the phone slowly, and squinted to see several missed calls from Chen Ran and several messages from Xia Ziheng... Xu Yinian suddenly remembered what day it is today. Realizing that the fireworks had been missed, he jumped out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, hurriedly put on his shirt and trousers, grabbed his tie and ran towards the auditorium.
Because of Ye Qiao, and also because of Yu Huai, Xu Yinian tossed and turned all night. I originally wanted to catch up on sleep during the day, but ended up sleeping until the graduation ceremony started.
The lights in the huge auditorium are bright, the unpredictable nebula spreads on the ceiling, and the flower candlesticks are placed in the center of each round table, and the bubbles in the champagne are slowly rising. Xu Yinian pushed the door open and entered. On the stage, the principal was talking eloquently. Hundreds of graduates were standing or sitting under the stage. The atmosphere was relaxed. The principal's emotional speech just concealed the movement of him entering the door, and Director Qin, who was the only one who noticed him, gave him a vicious look.
Xu Yinian cheekily avoided Director Qin's gaze, just as he was about to see where Xia Ziheng and Chen Ran were sitting, he stretched out a hand from the side and grabbed him.
"It's the last day, and you're going to be late too?"
Xu Yinian turned his head in surprise. The bright lights of the auditorium fell on Yu Huai's face. He had broad shoulders and long legs.
Xu Yinian saw his heart beating faster, and said in a low voice, "You never said you would come to the academy."
After saying this, Xu Yinian felt as if he was asking about Yu Huai's itinerary, and hurriedly added: "Are you coming back to donate?"
Hua Hengjing on the side heard this, and answered with a smile: "I came in with a donation. Although Boss Yu also donated, he was personally invited by your principal."
After the Black Tower incident, Yu Huai was highly praised in the world of exorcising demons, and the older generation of exorcising masters who had a good relationship with Xuan Tan insisted on giving him the credit. There are criticisms. Coupled with his high status in the Yaozu, the academy's invitation to participate in the graduation ceremony can be regarded as a clear statement.
Yu Huai gestured to her side with her eyes: "Sit here, there is no one."
In the distance, Director Qin stretched his neck to look around, probably waiting for him to throw himself into the trap, Xu Yinian decisively sat down beside Yu Huai.
He walked in a hurry just now, and his clothes were a little messy. Yu Huai straightened his shirt for him, and inadvertently rubbed his cold fingertips on his neck, Xu Yinian froze and remained motionless.
"The neckline is turned up." Yu Huai said softly.
"Oh." After Xu Yinian agreed, he added, "Thank you."
Yu Huai ignored Hua Hengjing's interested gaze as if watching a play, and handed a deep black jewelry box to Xu Yinian: "Graduation gift."
Xu Yinian was taken aback, and reached out to take it.
In the small velvet box, the castle-shaped brooch is shining brightly, and the purple diamond as the main body is exquisitely cut. With the change of the nebula on the top of the auditorium, it reflects the dazzling fire, and complements the broken diamonds inlaid around it.
Although he doesn't know the goods, Xu Yinian can also see that this thing is very valuable. He hesitated: "Is this..." Too expensive
Seeing Xu Yinian's hesitation, Hua Hengjing's eyes turned, and out of nowhere he took out a large bunch of colorful gemstone flowers: "It just so happens that I also gave them together. Children, happy graduation."
The overlapping petals are shining like a rainbow under the light. Such a large bouquet of precious stones is as exaggerated as a purple diamond brooch. Xu Yinian took the valuable bouquet with both hands, touched the crystal clear flowers carefully, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Although my family's conditions are not bad...but you are really rich."
Hua Hengjing almost laughed out loud, and he sincerely praised: "I really like you, it should be nice to take graduation photos with you in your arms."
Yu Huai glanced at him.
Realizing that he had teased someone casually, Hua Hengjing coughed and pretended to make up for it: "This brooch doesn't seem to be very easy to wear."
"It's been a while." Yu Huai asked Xu Yinian, "Shall I put it on for you?"
Before he could answer, Yu Huai took out the purple diamond brooch from the box, he pushed aside the double pins that were used for fixing it, lowered his eyes, and slowly inserted the two pins into Xu Yinian's shirt. Xu Yinian unknowingly let down his breath and secretly looked at him.
Eyelashes are so long.
It turned out that Yu Huai's eyelashes were not black, but a dark purple that was as deep as black. He didn't remember where he had heard an unreliable saying before. It was said that the stronger the ghost race, the darker the pupil color, but Yu Huai's pupil color has not changed since he became so much stronger.
Since the headmaster invited Yu Huai to attend the graduation ceremony, the demon world has gradually changed its view of him, everything will get better and better.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Yinian's lips curled up slightly, feeling unspeakably happy in his heart.
There was applause from all directions. After the principal stepped down, the hostess Su Tang walked onto the stage with a smile on her face: "Thank you to the principal for his wonderful speech. In the past ten years, Fengqiao College has brought us countless precious memories, bit by bit. The experience will become a flame that illuminates the way forward. Next, the outstanding graduates voted by the students will light up the maple lamps together with the student representatives of Fuyao College. First, the outstanding graduates of Fengqiao College will be invited to the stage... Chen burning!"
The applause mixed with whistles continued. Xu Yinian became interested, he took out his phone and pulled out the camera, ready to see which female classmate was standing next to Chen Ran. The smile on Su Tang's face grew wider, and his voice was inexplicably excited: "Class nine in ten years, Xu Yinian!"
Xu Yinian was dumbfounded.
Not only him, but even the teachers didn't respond. Yuan Mu touched his chin after being surprised for a short time, and was very satisfied with the joke: "There are actually two male classmates this year."
Looking at the lively scene in the auditorium, the principal expressed his feelings: "It is appropriate to choose them as outstanding graduates. Chen Ran can't fault it, and students like Xu Yinian are impressive. Don't you think so?"
He said while looking at the people around him: "On this point, you are the one with the most say."
Tang Fei looked in Xu Yinian's direction and responded lightly.
"School beauty!" Xia Ziheng was the first to break the silence, "Come up, school beauty!"
With him taking the lead, the students who were still a bit jealous of Xu Yinian let go of their worries, and a brave boy followed him: "School belle, don't be shy! You are the most beautiful!"
Xu Yinian stood up from his seat.
He got up together, and everyone didn't dare to boo again. Under the gaze of countless people, Xu Yinian walked onto the stage, with pairs of curious eyes chasing his figure. Especially when the boy took the golden maple leaf ring used for casting spells in Su Tang's hand, and did not reject the title with a cold face, the atmosphere in the audience became enthusiastic again, and thunderous applause resounded in the auditorium.
The students around were very happy, several girls clapped their hands redly, Hua Hengjing smiled and said: "The children are quite popular."
"It's a pity that few dare to talk to him." Yu Huai watched the stage. The boy's skin is fairer than snow, and his face is bright, and he really deserves the joke-like title of school belle.
"Then are you happy or not?" Hua Hengjing analyzed half-seriously, "There should be quite a few people who like him, but because of fate, few dare to really walk in front of him."
Yu Huai also smiled, but didn't respond. Hua Hengjing's eyes fell on Xu Yinian's chest, the purple diamond brooch was shining brightly, most people would only think that it was a priceless gem, but someone like Yuan Mu, who is as smart as Yuan Mu, froze when he saw the brooch look.
Hua Hengjing said with emotion: "You are giving him a city."
A row of shimmering ancient runes is engraved directly under the purple diamond brooch. Those who don't know how to do it will only mistake this string of complicated cursive characters for ordinary decorations. The powerful demon power seals the space contract in it, enabling the holder to enter and exit the free port at will without any restrictions.
This is the only key to Freeport that belongs exclusively to the Patriarch of the Ghost Clan.
"In the tradition of the ghost clan, the husband signs a contract with Freeport, and the keys are given to the wife."
"?"
"I forgot to tell you that Xu Yinian and I are married." Regardless of Hua Hengjing's shocked face, Yu Huai continued, "Although we are currently in name only, we still have to give what should be given."
