Chapter 177: She is Like an Angel Who Had Descended Upon This Place
I, Lin Yibai, don’t want to be a normal person anymore!
Since this is about the “fairy rules,” then I’ll just be a fairy who hurts other fairies, that’s it.
But this is not pretending or acting. Because from Lin Yibai’s playful wink, Xia Changyu knew this girl was using magic to fight against another kind of magic.
So, should he help her a little?
But if he just casually took out the car key, wouldn’t that feel cheap? It wouldn’t have the serious and respectful feeling that Lin Yibai uses when she casts her magic.
Okay, Xia Changyu felt that serious feeling was about to come.
But imagine if his BMW was borrowed by Lin Yibai for practice, and then got dents and scratches all over?
He thought, ‘The car is just an object. As long as Baiyi is safe, that’s what matters…’
Hmmmm, this kind of “helping magic” felt wrong because he didn’t care about the car. He was only worried if Lin Yibai was hurt or not.
This kind of low-level magic is not even worthy to help a big magic master like Lin Yibai.
So he changed his way of thinking.
Imagine if it was his ex-girlfriend, Gu Xiaoxue, who borrowed the car and then scratched it all over... Xia Changyu suddenly got very angry and shouted, ‘Damn it!’
No, he got mad. Just thinking about it made him really angry.
So when he finally took out the car key, he showed a little seriousness.
Lin Yibai was afraid her jealous enemy would mess up the act, so she quickly made a serious face and said, “What’s wrong? I’m just borrowing your car key to practice driving, and you’re already so reluctant? You might lose only a BMW car, but what will I lose... ahem, cough, I mean, will you be okay watching me stuck in a training car with someone else?”
“Pfft~”
No way, Xia Changyu almost couldn’t hold it in. He swore Lin Yibai wasn’t cut out to be a fairy, she wasn’t even good at pretending to be one.
Lin Yibai gave him a look and winked.
What is she doing?
What’s she doing!?
She took the BMW key, swung it in her hand a little, then walked up to the two reception girls. With a sweet voice, she said,
“Sisters, sisters, look, that guy finally gave me the car key, hehe... But he still can’t compare to you two. You eat one meal and it costs your ex-boyfriend a whole month’s salary, but me... just asking for the car key takes him forever to agree.”
Is this some kind of sarcastic magic?
Anyway, the two reception girls shut up. After all, he even gave out the BMW car key. What else could they want?
Practicing driving and crashing the car would cost half a year’s salary to fix!
In the end, they only mumbled quietly, guessing maybe the car key was fake. Maybe it was a BMW key cover for an electric bike or bicycle.
That’s why they’re so weird, right?
On one side, they kept telling Lin Yibai not to settle, not to feel wronged, and how boys should be this or that, only high-quality boys deserve something... But when a really good and rich boy was actually chasing her, their attitude changed completely.
Lin Yibai slowly understood and realized, “Turns out, they don’t really want all girls in the world to be happy and joyful... They only care about what benefits they can get from boys when they are against them.”
She doubted them. She understood them. But she would not become like them.
Not long after, a van stopped outside the wedding company’s shop. The manager, Brother Jin, walked in and sniffed around. Finally, he looked at Lin Yibai and said with surprise.
“Xiao Bai, where did the smell on you come from? I mean, the perfume?”
Sure enough, it smells very nice, right?
Lin Yibai started to react. If the two reception girls before had weird reactions and tried hard to get perfume from her, maybe that was strange.
But now, even the wedding company manager said this, so it must be a big deal!
She thought, maybe it’s just a perfume worth a few hundred yuan?
One reception girl seemed to find a chance and said again.
“Brother Jin, you smelled it too, right? I heard it’s just something bought for a few dozen yuan from a street stall near the university. Before, we asked Xiao Bai for some, but she was stingy and didn’t want to give.”
The other reception girl laughed and pointed at Xia Changyu, making a face, “See? It’s just the cheap stuff that boy gave her.”
Brother Jin glared at them. Are these two girls crazy?
Usually, people who come here to ask about weddings are couples getting married. They can be rich or poor, but it’s business.
How can they be so clueless?
This perfume smells expensive right away. They believe it’s cheap stuff from a street stall?
Or maybe they guessed it’s not just a few dozen yuan, but a few hundred yuan... but the manager said bluntly.
“Do you two remember the wedding with 126 tables at the five-star Sheraton Hotel earlier this year? The bride used this perfume... I definitely remember correctly, it’s this smell. It was very elegant nearby.”
The two reception girls: ?
Damn!!!
Maybe they don’t know the value of perfume, but they definitely know that a bride holding a wedding with 126 tables at a five-star hotel in a place like Fucheng wouldn’t use cheap perfume.
Lin Yibai was surprised too. Wow, what had her rival done?
Because she also thought it was just perfume worth a few hundred yuan at most.
He was still young, but spending money foolishly on a woman, huh?
Lin Yibai seemed to remember something, quickly opened her bag, and took out some bottles and jars. They were all makeup and skincare products given by that rival Xia Changyu.
Then Lin Yibai gave her rival a fierce look before handing the things to Manager Jin and asked, “Take a look at these. Brother Jin, do you recognize them? Do you know what these are?”
Brother Jin asked, “Where did you get these makeup and skincare products?”
Lin Yibai pointed at Xia Changyu and said, “He gave them to me.”
Brother Jin asked again, “What did he say when he gave them to you?”
Lin Yibai replied, “He said he bought them in bulk from a street stall near the student area, so he divided them into small bottles for me to use.”
He looked at Xia Changyu deeply, thinking, ‘This guy seems suspicious! Is he a rich second-generation pretending to be poor just to chase a girl? Or does he have some strange hobby?’
But no matter what, Manager Jin thought it was not worth offending him. Unlike the two reception girls who were clueless, Lin Yibai was working part-time here, and a rich second-generation guy came to experience life.
Better to have a good relationship with them.
Who knows, maybe tomorrow that rich guy will get Xiao Bai pregnant and hold a wedding with one or two hundred tables! That would be good business no matter what.
On the other hand, those two reception girls almost ruined the business and would be fired sooner or later.
Manager Jin was not an expert in makeup or skincare, but the wedding company had many makeup artists for brides.
Lin Yibai asked, “So how much did it cost?”
Xia Changyu nervously held up one finger, then four fingers, and said nothing else.
1 & 4?
Considering the expensive value, could it be more than 1,400 yuan?
Lin Yibai finally relaxed and said, “Luckily, it’s just a little over 1,400. That’s not too bad! If you spent a lot more… I’ll kill you tonight!”
But she still didn’t know what brands the makeup and skincare products were.
So Lin Yibai went to ask the makeup artists at the wedding company. They were definitely experts in this.
Meanwhile, Xia Changyu was starting to sweat nervously.
Manager Jin got curious and asked, “So how much is it exactly?”
Xia Changyu said, “I already told you! 1 & 4.”
Manager Jin thought for a moment, then got really shocked, “If it’s not 1,400... what about 14,000? Man, you really spent a lot!”
Xia Changyu said, “It’s not easy to get a chance to give her something nice.”
Manager Jin asked, “Was it worth it?”
Xia Changyu said, “She’s been working part-time here at the wedding company for so long. You know best, Brother Jin, if she’s worth it or not.”
Right!
A good girl is like a pearl shining in the dark. Even more so for someone as outstanding as Lin Yibai.
She is like an angel who had descended upon this place.
