Chapter 766 - A GOOD WINGMAN
LUO YAN stared at his cousin. The other was smiling like a flower while looking at Catnip. He suddenly understood something. No wonder Bai Ze dressed this way, like a male peacock trying to show-off his feathers and tail. In this case, his cousin was showing off his muscles and good figure.
Although, in his opinion, this was counterproductive. After all, Bai Ze's figure in real life was really not that muscular. At least, not that exaggerated. If he knew that his cousin was actually trying to impress a girl, then, he would have suggested a different set of clothing for the other. Something that could highlight his handsome face instead.
Luo Yan only assumed that Bai Ze wanted to show off his avatar's muscular body. That's why he expressed his admiration for the other's costume. Because it truly showcased Bai Ze's avatar's physique. But now that he knew that his cousin actually dressed like this for a girl, he couldn't help but think that he was trying to seduce this Catnip.
Speaking of, he turned his gaze towards the girl. The other wasn't classically beautiful per se but she was full of charisma. The kind that looked prettier and prettier the more one looked at it.
From the way she carried herself and the way she spoke, Luo Yan could see that Catnip was a confident and bright girl. At first glance, one could see that she's very friendly and approachable. This type of personality certainly fit Bai Ze's outgoing personality.
If this person became his cousin's girlfriend, then, Luo Yan certainly didn't have any objection. He's sure that his aunt and uncle also wouldn't. Of course, this was under the premise that Bai Ze could successfully chase the other person. As it looked, it seemed that Catnip was still not aware of his cousin's feelings for her.
Since Bai Ze was here to impress the girl he liked, as a cousin, he should do his best to be a good wing man. And the best thing to do right now was to give the two enough time to be alone. How could Bai Ze make a move with four lightbulbs around?
[Eclipse, can you drag Dragnar away? Play with him for a little while.] – he said to Eclipse through telepathy.
The little boy glanced at Dragnar from head to toe as if scrutinizing him. Probably examining whether the other was qualified to be his 'playmate'. After a few seconds, he finally said, albeit a bit reluctant, [Okay. But how long should Eclipse play with him?]
[Hmm… about 10 minutes?]
[Argh- okay.] – Eclipse said, clearly very reluctant.
Luo Yan only chuckled hearing that. Then, he remembered something and quickly added, [If Winged Tassel tried to approach you, contact me immediately, okay?]
Although he had already warned that guy, who knew if the other would take it seriously? It's better to be safe than sorry.
[Don't worry, Mashter, what could that bird guy do to Eclipse? But since you insist, then, okay.]
Eclipse then held Dragnar's arm. "Come, let's go over there, golden lizard."
Before Xia Lei could react or even say anything, he was already dragged somewhere by the kitsune. Then, he suddenly realized that he was just called a 'golden lizard'.
He couldn't help but say, "Why am I a lizard?"
Clearly, I'm a dragon. – was what he wanted to add but before he could, the boy pulling him had already said;
"Because you haven't earned Eclipse's recognition yet."
There was a question mark on Xia Lei's face. He still had to be recognized? But no matter what he thought, the kitsune had already succeeded on dragging him away from the group.
Following the departure of the two, Luo Yan quickly said;
"I'm suddenly curious about the food they serve here." He then linked his arms with Shen Ji Yun and turned to Bai Ze and Catnip. "We'll go ahead. Nice to meet you again, Sister Catnip."
Then, he dragged Shen Ji Yun to the banquet table. Of course, the other didn't have any complains with his action. In fact, he was more than happy to be dragged by Luo Yan. As long as it's his rabbit, he didn't mind even if he was dragged to a garbage site.
Xia Li was surprised at first. Four people suddenly left one after another, how could she not be at least startled? But after seeing Noctis and YUN holding each other's hands and the latter even looking softly at the former with a soft gaze full of love (yes, this was how the scene of Noctis dragging YUN appeared to her), she simply snapped a photo of the two.
This was a good material! How could she let it go to waste?
-----
On the balcony attached to the ballroom, two small figures were sitting on the railing. The girl had pink hair with fluttering butterfly wings behind her and the boy had black hair and a pair of red eyes.
It's the place where Su Yuqi pulled Luo Jin to.
The balcony was separated from the ballroom by a floor to ceiling glass door and a thick curtain. So, the spot was almost isolated from what was happening inside. They couldn't even hear the music being played by the orchestra. But Luo Jin preferred it this way. Not to mention, he glanced at Su Yuqi who was gazing up at the moon.
Yes, this was definitely much better.
"We should have probably brought some snacks," Su Yuqi said with a bit of regret in her tone.
Hearing that, Luo Jin quickly jumped down the railing and said, "I'll go and get it."
Su Yuqi glanced at the boy, a smile appeared on her lips. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment. But before she could say anything, a shadow suddenly jumped down from above and landed directly on the balcony.
Both Su Yuqi and Luo Jin were startled by this.. But was even more surprised when they saw who it was.
