I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 460
Chapter 460: Running Around in a Commotion
I originally thought that Ouyang Xue’s wedding would deter most of the more socially anxious “otakus,” and the cafe wouldn’t be too crowded. However, I didn’t expect the “free all day” promotion to attract many familiar faces.
Especially those who had been “won over” by Ouyang Xue’s charisma in the fan group. Many of them felt like their own daughter was getting married and chose to take time off to come and support her.
People from Ouyang Xue’s village, Li Chen’s relatives and friends, and the connections Ouyang Xue had made while running the cafe—all of them came.
Moreover, it wasn’t just people from Ouyang Xue’s side. My friends also showed up almost in full force.
Jiang Wei, Pipi, Su Yunjin, and some members of my book reader group came. Cai Jingtong, who had previously cosplayed as Kirito, and Zhou Lulu, who had cosplayed as Maple, also came. Even Mayor Ye Yuqing showed up.
“Nuo’er’s boss is getting married. Of course, we have to show up!”
Jiang Wei and the others explained it this way, “Besides, there’s a free lunch. Not coming would make us look ungrateful.”
Since Jiang Wei arrived, Ye Yuqing, being an old friend of Jiang Wei’s wife Ye Zi, also had a reason to come.
With Ye Yuqing’s arrival, many people from the mayor’s office came as well.
Unlike Jiang Wei’s wedding, Ouyang Xue chose a Western-style wedding with a “priest” theme. They hired a professional priest to officiate and brought in many Western-style decorations, making the cat café feel like a church, which gave it a strange atmosphere.
Cats and angels… it’s an indescribable blend, a mix of cuteness and holiness.
“I like this style.”
This caught Gabriel’s interest. She took time off from her stream, just like me, and came up from the Little Bird Leisure Bar downstairs with a camera. She summoned her angel wings, pretending to be part of this “angel’s wedding.”
“I didn’t expect there to be such beliefs in the human world.”
“I didn’t know Sister Ouyang believed in this.”
I playfully pinched Gabriel’s wings from behind. “Or maybe it’s something Li Chen wanted.”
“Forget Li Chen. Between him and Sister Ouyang… I don’t believe she would be the one to compromise.”
Lan Jiajia, wearing an angel halo she found somewhere, was munching on a cake. “How did those two end up together? I didn’t hear anything about it.”
“Those two…”
I thought for a moment. “If I had to say, they’ve been together for a long, long time.”
I don’t know much about Li Chen. I’ve known him about as long as I’ve known Ouyang Xue.
The day I came to the cafe for an interview, Ouyang Xue was the one who welcomed me. I remember Li Chen was in the lobby on the first floor at that time.
The cafe was built from scratch by the two of them. After the building was completed, Li Chen and Ouyang Xue were transferred here by Tongmeng Network. From the decoration to contacting suppliers and various plans, the initial construction of the cafe was entirely their joint effort.
According to Su Yunjin, if we go back further, Li Chen should have been very close to Ouyang Xue when she was still a virtual idol.
On the surface, it looks like Ouyang Xue is very close with all of us, but if something really happens, like if she suddenly gets sick at home and is about to faint but doesn’t want to go to the hospital, the first person she would call is definitely Li Chen.
Li Chen is also the type of person who is exceptionally accommodating to Ouyang Xue. It’s not surprising they ended up together.
You should know, Ouyang Xue’s health is extremely poor.
Xiao Mo once said that my “natural recovery” skill actually follows my soul. Even if I reincarnated as a cat in this life, I could still become the so-called “Goddess of Life.”
It’s precisely because of this soul-based ability that when “Yin Shiren” was performing organ transplants, all the patients who received donated organs survived without any rejection reactions. This is the ability of the “Future Goddess of Life.”
Under Xiao Mo’s guidance, I became “Yin Nuo’er.” Although I hadn’t awakened my elf abilities or the passive “Life Aura” when I first met Ouyang Xue, the plants around the cafe and the people nearby still experienced some healing effects, though not as strong as now. Even back then, I had a healing effect on those around me.
Ouyang Xue fainted on the job at the cafe, even with my healing abilities, showing how fragile her health was.
And this person works as if her life depends on it. Xiao Mo and I can’t always be by her side, right?
So, I personally feel that Li Chen and Ouyang Xue’s choice to be together is the right one.
“Hi, little Nuo’er, long time no see.”
Although she attended the wedding under the pretense of being an old friend of Ye Zi, Ye Yuqing’s interest seemed to be entirely on me.
“Long time no see!”
“It’s been less than two months.”
I pouted. “Why are you here, Sister Ye?”
Ye Yuqing coming here means that some “big shots” might follow, making it hard for us to manage.
“Why can’t I come? Aren’t we good friends? We even sang together at Mr. Jiang Wei’s house.”
Ye Yuqing didn’t seem surprised by my “annoyance” and carefully came closer.
“Let me ask you something, and you have to tell the truth. Those plants you discovered, called Cat Jump Jump, were they really found on the island you bought?”
“Yes, Xiao Mo and I sometimes go on adventures there. We saw some beautiful white strawberries, picked some, and then realized they weren’t strawberries.”
I picked up a passing cat. “Did you think I’d say that? Of course not! I’m telling you that Cat Jump Jump isn’t a plant from Earth. It comes from another world called Grandis, where there’s magic, vampires, dragons, angels, and Queen Diwu!”
“Huh?”
Ye Yuqing was a bit stunned. “Really?”
“It must be those botanists who sent you, right?”
I stroked the cat’s tail in my arms. “Mayor Ye, just tell those botanists to stop doubting and establish a new genus called ‘Grandis’ specifically for housing otherworldly plants like Cat Jump Jump.”
“I can’t handle you kids anymore.”
As expected, Ye Yuqing still thought I was joking. “Forget it. How’s business lately?”
“Pretty good. Everyone got a raise.”
I turned to Dolly, who was running around chasing and playing with Yueyue. “Some people got their salaries, some exercised their bodies, some expanded their horizons, and some found spiritual healing. Everyone has a bright future.”
“You never say anything serious,” Ye Yuqing said, shaking her head as she headed upstairs. “Is it free upstairs too?”
“Yes.”
I nodded. “But cakes and milk tea are very high in calories. Eating too much can make you gain weight.”
“Then I’ll have your specialty fruit juice.”
“That also has added sugar.”
“I want it without sugar.”
Unable to argue with the “Mayor,” I glanced at the high-ranking officials at the entrance, who were busy “networking,” and sighed silently.
“Looks like I’ve got a busy day ahead.”
“……”
