Chapter 122: Another Sad Man in This City (4k)
Xu Xiaoyu is already twenty years old this year, and his soul power cultivation is as high as level forty-eight, and it is possible to break through the bottleneck of level fifty in the next year. Although there is still a certain gap between this kind of cultivation speed and those genius students in Shrek Academy, it is definitely quite an outstanding existence on the side of the Tianhai Alliance.
More than a year ago, he had officially graduated from the senior department of Tokai College.
Xu Xiaoyan's father originally hoped that Xu Xiaoyu would go to other senior colleges to continue his studies, but Xu Xiaoyu disobeyed his father's decision for the first time because of Ouyang Zixin's relationship.
To Xu Xiaoyu's surprise, Xu Xingwei did not criticize him for this, but respected his choice.
Under the operation of the Xu family, when Xu Xiaoyu's purple-level mecha customized by the East China Sea City Mecha Master Association is completed, Xu Xiaoyu will directly enter the East China Sea City Mecha Brigade to serve.
With his potential and background, it is completely predictable that he will replace Guang Biao and become the captain of the East China Sea City Mecha Brigade in the future.
As he grew older, Xu Xiaoyu was no longer as cold and arrogant as he was back then, or he was much more sleek and worldly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to follow Xu Xiaoyan over this time, wanting to maintain a good relationship with Tang Wulin, a genius forging master with amazing talents.
After all, if he wants to upgrade his purple-level mecha to the black-level mecha level in the future, he needs to use a large amount of spirit forging rare metals.
The number of forgers above level five is already scarce, and the supply of rare metals for spirit forging has always been in short supply. Coupled with the extremely high probability of failure in spirit forging, in many cases, even if there is money, there may not be a forger willing to accept the task.
Xu Xiaoyu frowned slightly and looked at Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue for a moment, but he didn't say anything, just looked sideways at Xu Xiaoyan beside him.
It is precisely because the two of them are world friends that he is not good at mixing too much in some things. And Yu Nanyuan and Xu Xiaoyan are still young now, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
For his sister and Yu Nanyuan, Xu Xiaoyu is still very optimistic.
After a short period of stunned, Xu Xiaoyan smiled and beckoned to Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue, not seeing the strange emotions in her heart at all.
"Nanyuan, Sister Gu Yue, I didn't expect you to arrive too. So now everyone is here. ”
Yu Nanyuan stepped forward as usual, first smiled gently at Xu Xiaoyan, and then said hello to Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin.
"Brother Xiaoyu and Sister Zixin, your relationship is good enough now."
Being teased by Yu Nanyuan like this, Xu Xiaoyu's face instantly became stiff. And Ouyang Zixin was slightly red, and glared at Yu Nanyuan coquettishly.
"Okay, Nan Yuan. You've learned to make fun of us now, haven't you? ”
However, Ouyang Zixin's words clearly did not deny the relationship between herself and Xu Xiaoyu, but instead named the title 'we'.
If Xu Xiaoyan's response disappointed the wonderful scene that Zhang Yangzi and Xie Mi were looking forward to, they were disappointed. So Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin, who suddenly killed, once again stimulated the fire of gossip in their hearts.
They remembered that Ouyang Zixin was Tang Wulin's dream goddess! Tang Wulin went to the playground to run every morning just to meet this Ouyang senior sister by chance.
Zhang Yangzi and Xie Mi hurriedly looked at Tang Wulin beside them, and Wang Jinxi had already observed Tang Wulin's reaction first.
Tang Wulin's cheeks were a little red, and his eyes were dim and he lowered his head. Seeing that Ouyang Zixin and Xu Xiaoyu were so close, he didn't know why, he always felt uncomfortable, and he was inexplicably hostile to Xu Xiaoyu.
Ouyang Zixin came to Tang Wulin with a smile.
"Junior brother, I heard that this time it's a treat. Senior Xu and I came uninvited this time, you won't mind, right? ”
When Xu Xiaoyu was mentioned, Ouyang Zixin's voice seemed to become extraordinarily gentle.
"Senior Xu is actually not an outsider, he is Xiao Yan's elder brother, and he is also an outstanding graduate of the senior department of our Donghai College."
Tang Wulin looked at Ouyang Zixin's moving face, and suddenly felt a little indignant in his heart, senior sister wouldn't have any thoughts about this person.
Senior Xu, Senior Xu, it's really affectionate!
Listening to Xie Mi and Zhang Yangzi talk about this topic all day long, coupled with the examples of Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue, he is no longer as ignorant about the affairs of men and women as he was back then.
Tang Wulin realized the hazy good impression of Ouyang Zixin in his heart, and now the reason why he feels uncomfortable and indignant is probably because he is jealous.
But what could he do? It's impossible for him to interfere with Senior Sister Ouyang's feelings, right? And he doesn't have a special relationship with Senior Sister Ouyang, what qualifications does he have to do this?
At this moment, Tang Wulin's heart was in turmoil, and various thoughts involuntarily appeared in his mind.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyu's complexion returned to normal, looked at everyone with a smile and said, "How can there be a reason to let the junior brother have a treat." I'm the oldest here, and I've long since graduated from the academy, so I'll treat you to this meal. ”
"No need, senior." Tang Wulin seemed to have a stress reaction, and almost subconsciously blurted out, and said without humility or arrogance: "Before coming here, I had already said that I would treat you." Although I haven't graduated from the academy yet, I still have the money for a meal. ”
"Alright, don't be polite here, sit down and order. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm dying of hunger. ”
Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and she could see Tang Wulin's careful thoughts at a glance. This level of jealousy really makes her not interested, and it is impossible for her to get any inspiration from it.
Tang Wulin didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Ouyang Zixin, so he beckoned everyone to take their seats. And he also deliberately pulled out a chair for Ouyang Zixin himself, so as to facilitate his seating.
Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue naturally sat on either side of Yu Nanyuan.
This is a large round table, Xu Xiaoyan's left is Xu Xiaoyu, and Xu Xiaoyu's left hand is Ouyang Zixin, followed by Tang Wulin. As for Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Xie Mi, they are on the other side of Tang Wulin.
The round table was very large, leaving a considerable distance between Gu Yue and Xie Mi.
This is Xie Mi deliberately, give him a hundred dares, he doesn't dare to get close to Gu Yue, he doesn't have the ability of Yu Nanyuan. And when he was in the actual combat training class in Class Zero, he didn't know how many times he had been abused by Gu Yue, and he left a huge shadow in his heart.
Xie Mi picked up the menu with a big grin, and said loudly and boldly: "I finally met Wulin for a treat, and this time I have to slash the wool at everything." I don't think I need to deliberately order anything, let's have a hundred skewers for each type of skewer first, and see the strength. ”
Tang Wulin's face was almost green, but he was next to Ouyang Zixin, and it was impossible for him to show it.
There are dozens or hundreds of dishes on the menu of this kebab shop, and all of them are 100 servings, so how much does it cost!
Tang Wulin, who has been poor since he was a child, has almost become instinctive in his sensitivity to money. However, thinking that everyone couldn't eat much, most of them must have fallen into his belly in the end, so I felt a little more comfortable.
Xu Xiaoyan's dark side was also shown at this time, and he added with a smile: "Come to the barrel wheat bar again, it's cold and delicious." Oh, and the best quality brew! ”
Tang Wulin's heart hurt again, a barrel of refined ale is not cheap!
And what made him even more depressed was that Ouyang Zixin and Xu Xiaoyu beside him began to talk and laugh like no one else.
Xu Xiaoyu's expression was unusually gentle, while Ouyang Zixin covered her face with her hands from time to time, letting out bursts of crisp laughter.
Ouyang Zixin has now also been promoted to the senior department of Donghai Academy, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she has gradually faded away from her youth, and her gestures are full of different charms.
"Senior, I heard that the reason why you didn't go to other advanced colleges for further study is because you are going to stay in Donghai City and serve in the mecha team, right?"
"Hmm." Xu Xiaoyu nodded a little unnaturally.
"That's how my father arranged it, the mecha I customized at the Mecha Master Association is almost finished, and I should report to the mecha brigade when the time comes. Zixin, if you're interested in mechas, I can teach you. Although you are not learning mecha control, it doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself. And after experiencing it for yourself, you may be able to help me with mecha design. ”
"Okay!" Ouyang Zixin responded with a smile, supporting her white chin with her snow-white wrist, and her dark purple eyes were full of brilliance.
Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin's mood fell directly to the bottom. He no longer looked up, but there he was bored and suffered.
Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Xie Mi's eyes lit up, and they were envious of Xu Xiaoyu.
Xie Mi was born in a mecha family in Donghai City, and obviously wanted to know more about the mecha customization of the Mecha Master Association. The Mecha Master Guild is known as the richest association on the mainland, covering mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair.
"Senior Xu, I remember that the mecha customized by the Mecha Master Association is all purple-level mecha at the lowest level. Even if you have enough money, it is said that even black-level mechs can be customized. ”
"If you want to control a black-level mecha, you need at least a Soul Emperor or above cultivation, and it's still a bit far away for me. What I customized was just a purple-level mecha made entirely of rare metals of Thousand Forgings. When Xu Xiaoyu said this, his eyes fell on Tang Wulin, who was turning grief and anger into appetite.
"Speaking of which, many of the Thousand Forgings and Rare Metals used in my purple-level mecha were all created by this Tang junior. So I came here this time to express my gratitude to this Tang junior. ”
The cooperation between Xu Xiaoyu and Tang Wulin was naturally led by Yu Nanyuan.
It's just that Tang Wulin never imagined that things would develop to such a situation. Is this considered funding his rival? However, he didn't seem to suffer a loss, and the reward he received from Xu Xiaoyu was much more generous than taking on tasks from the Forging Master Association.
Tang Wulin's mood at this time was quite complicated, and he didn't say anything.
Ouyang Zixin reminded in a low voice: "Junior brother, the senior is talking to you." ”
Tang Wulin glanced at Ouyang Zixin, then reluctantly moved his lips, and said in a stiff tone: "The senior asked me for forging, and I also received the corresponding reward." It's just an equivalent exchange, and you don't have to thank you. ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Ouyang Zixin and Xu Xiaoyu, and continued to bury his head in hard work.
Zhang Yangzi and Xie Mi are getting more and more excited, this is even more exciting than watching a seven-person team competition of soul masters! Of course, they would definitely comfort Tang Wulin afterwards, but before that, it would not prevent them from gossiping.
Ouyang Zixin finally reacted with hindsight, and vaguely sensed the reason for Tang Wulin's abnormality. Then she said to Xu Xiaoyu with an apologetic face.
"Senior, I'm sorry."
"Nothing." Xu Xiaoyu shook his head, still maintaining his demeanor. But since Tang Wulin didn't want to say anything, there was no need for him to stick a cold ass with a hot face.
Wang Jinxi sighed lightly in his heart, and was thinking about saying something to divert the topic, but Yu Nanyuan had already spoken first.
"The president of the Mecha Master Association is also my grandfather, Xie Mi, Yangzi, Jin Xi, Wulin, if you want to customize the mecha, you can give you an internal special."
"What?!" Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's eyes widened suddenly. Xie Mi knew a little bit because of the relationship in his family, and he didn't show too much surprise.
Even Tang Wulin stopped chewing and looked at Yu Nanyuan in surprise.
was interrupted by Yu Nanyuan like this, and the slightly dull atmosphere among everyone finally eased a lot. Coupled with the presence of Xie Mi and Zhang Yangzi, the atmosphere was quickly enlivened.
Yu Nanyuan also looked at Tang Wulin, who lowered his head again and ate a lot, and secretly wondered in his heart with emotion.
Is this the charm of a senior sister when you were young? But he couldn't understand it.
Gu Yue behaved very quietly from beginning to end, only occasionally chatting with Xu Xiaoyan under the guidance of Xu Xiaoyan. There was no-for-tat between the two, but they got along very harmoniously, even a little too calmly.
But the most important thing is because when she is in front of outsiders, Gu Yue never shows her closeness to Yu Nanyuan, and she has not completely let go. Therefore, this gave Xu Xiaoyan the illusion that he was winning. In her opinion, Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue should still be in an ambiguous period of near and far.
This is the best time to take advantage of the situation!
As a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, he was born with such a huge advantage, how could he lose?
After about an hour, the dinner came to an end.
After drinking several glasses of ale wine, Xu Xiaoyan's pretty face flushed with a charming flush, and even his eyes began to become blurred. While talking and laughing with Yu Nanyuan, two cute little tiger teeth were revealed.
"Okay, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. I'm afraid Brother Xiaoyu won't be happy to send you home tonight. Yu Nanyuan chuckled lightly, and his other hand subconsciously rested on Gu Yue's thigh beside him.
Gu Yue's figure tensed instantly, and her eyes looked at Yu Nanyuan with deep light.
Meeting Gu Yue's gaze, Yu Nanyuan suddenly woke up. But fortunately, Xu Xiaoyan didn't notice his behavior at the bottom of the table, and she didn't know it, and there was a bit of success in the depths of her eyes.
"It's as if someone is rare for him to send it." Xu Xiaoyan snorted softly coquettishly, not hiding the disgust in her tone at all.
"And I don't plan to go back tonight, I'll just go to your side later."
"Smack-" Yu Nanyuan's hand was knocked off, he sat up slightly straight, and grabbed one of Gu Yue's hands under the table. He knew Gu Yue too well.
This time, Gu Yue didn't break free again, she was actually just showing her dissatisfaction a little. In her eyes, Xu Xiaoyan's threat was less than one-tenth of Na'er's.
Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue both felt that they were in control of the victory.
After Tang Wulin ate almost, he took the initiative to settle the account. Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin were still chatting hotly, Yu Nanyuan, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan got together, and Xie Mi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi were also in high spirits.
Especially when he saw Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin, who were talking and laughing, Tang Wulin only felt like an outsider. This meal is really not a good taste.
Ouyang Zixin felt Tang Wulin's gaze, and suddenly said to Xu Xiaoyu: "Senior, it's a little late, I'm going back first." ”
"Zixin, I'll send you." Xu Xiaoyu hurriedly got up.
Ouyang Zixin smiled and said, "Okay, then it's troublesome senior." ”
Although she had a good impression of Tang Wulin, she just treated him as a little brother. She thinks that she should make her attitude clear now, and this is the best result for Tang Wulin.
Yu Nanyuan interfaced in a timely manner to assist Xu Xiaoyu.
"Brother Xiaoyu, Xiao Yan and the others will prepare to go to my side."
"Okay, Xiaoyan will be handed over to you."
Xu Xiaoyu had no worries at all, and left here with Ouyang Zixin first.
Looking at the backs of Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin leaving, Tang Wulin's beauty and longing in his youth were shattered, and his body was extremely lonely.
Zhang Yangzi, Xie Mi, and Wang Jinxi also stopped talking, and stepped forward to pat Tang Wulin on the shoulder. After watching the fun, it's time to comfort and comfort Tang Wulin's traumatized heart.
"Yangzi, Xie Mi, Wulin, Jin Xi, we also went back." Yu Nanyuan and Zhang Yangzi greeted each other, and then walked in another direction with Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue.
The dinner was over, and there was another sad person in the city.
