Chapter 53: Dolmila
Chapter 53: Dolmila
Li Qian had initially come to mooch off the food and drinks, but upon arriving and witnessing the gathering's drastic transformation, he instantly lost interest.
He shook his head, silently making a decision within his heart. From now on, he would never attend such gatherings, not even if it killed him.
However, leaving at this moment would be somewhat inappropriate. After all, it would be embarrassing to leave so soon.
So, he endured and followed the crowd. The group entered the Peach Garden Resort, and before long, they arrived at the Holiday Hotel within the resort.
Since it was a gathering, there was naturally no shortage of food and drinks.
Although it wasn't mealtime yet, the buffet was not restricted by time.
The buffet was set up on the third floor of the Holiday Hotel, in an open-air rooftop garden.
Within the rooftop garden, artificial hills, lush trees, and a forest of flowers and plants created a rather picturesque scenery.
Eating, drinking, and chatting in such a place while occasionally gazing down at the pavilions, terraces, and corridors of the resort below was indeed a rather pleasant experience.
That was how Li Qian had initially planned it.
However, as time passed, classmates would occasionally approach him for small talk, disrupting his mood and causing him to feel a bit annoyed.
Watching An Paozi chatting animatedly with a delicate-looking girl, Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle.
That girl was not from their class; Li Qian vaguely remembered her as someone from the neighboring class.
Without paying much attention to these matters, Li Qian searched for the rooftop garden on the third floor.
He went to the first floor of the hotel and left without hesitation.
Entering the resort, Li Qian took a leisurely stroll.
Compared to the gathering, strolling around the resort and admiring the beautiful scenery was clearly a more enjoyable choice.
It must be said that the Peach Garden Resort was indeed the top-tier resort in Lingwater City, second to none.
Putting aside other aspects, the scenery within the resort alone was worthy of the title "top-tier."
After strolling for a while, a set of footsteps gradually became clear behind him.
Li Qian paid no attention to the footsteps and continued to admire the scenery.
"It seems like you're not very interested in this kind of gathering either," said a graceful female voice from behind him.
Li Qian turned around and saw Li Lanying. He smiled faintly and replied, "Same here."
Li Lanying also smiled and said, "If I had known it would be this kind of gathering, I wouldn't have come."
She walked to Li Qian's side, found a stone stool, and sat down without hesitation, "The camping and spring outings in our first and second years, those pure gatherings, probably won't happen again..."
Li Qian glanced at her and also found a stone stool to sit down, "These things are always unavoidable."
"Yes, people do change," Li Lanying said with a hint of emotion in her voice. "Moreover, I think they're doing this to adapt to life after graduation."
Li Qian sighed, his voice taking on a playful tone, "You're being sentimental, which isn't like your personality."
Li Lanying's interest was piqued, "Then what is my personality like?"
Li Qian thought for a moment and replied, "Tranquil and elegant, unconcerned with worldly affairs."
Li Lanying covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Li Qian spread his hands, "I'm just telling the truth."
Unlike the class president, Tu Jiaojao, who was known for her bold and straightforward demeanor, Li Lanying, the meditation class representative, was famous for her "quiet beauty."
That tranquil and elegant temperament also attracted numerous admirers.
The number of boys secretly admiring her was no less than those admiring Tu Jiaojao.
Li Lanying did not continue the topic and changed the subject, asking, "With graduation approaching, have you decided which Beast Master University you want to apply to?"
Li Qian's preferred choice was the Capital Beast Master University, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he casually replied, "I haven't even taken the college entrance exam yet, so I don't know my score..."
Li Qian neither denied nor confirmed, "Let's wait until the scores are out before discussing this. It's still a bit early to bring it up now."
Li Lanying nodded and stood up from the stone stool, looking in a certain direction, "I've been to this Peach Garden Resort a few times before, and I know where the scenery is better. I know where the scenery is better, and since both of us aren't very comfortable with the atmosphere up there, let's go for a walk together?"
(End of Chapter)"Sure." Li Qian didn't refuse, nodding his head.
And so, the two walked side by side, strolling through the manor.
On the third floor, in the sky garden, at a certain location of the buffet, Lu Kuihuan's gaze swept around, but he didn't see the familiar graceful figure.
He couldn't help but frown.
After dealing with a student who approached him, attempting to make friends, he walked to the side of the sky garden, his eyes scanning the area.
Soon, he spotted two figures on a pebble path in a certain direction.
It was Li Qian and Li Lanying.
Walking side by side, chatting and laughing, they seemed to be a dazzlingly compatible pair.
Seeing this, Lu Kuihuan's face turned cold.
Jealousy burned within him.
He had worked hard to set up this gathering, bringing together so many classmates, only for this kid to steal the show.
Li Lanying, accompanied by Li Qian, strolled around Peach Garden Manor.
She didn't introduce anything, simply accompanying him in silence.
In fact, there wasn't much to introduce.
Although the scenery here was nice, it was all artificial, lacking cultural depth, and didn't require any explanation.
The two strolled around the manor, which wasn't very large. Before long, they returned to a spot near the hotel entrance.
As they turned back, they saw a group of people gathered at the hotel entrance in the distance.
Some were classmates, while others were ordinary tourists visiting the area.
They formed a circle, seemingly observing something in the center.
Li Lanying, seeing this, was a little curious, "What are they looking at?"
"Let's go take a look," Li Qian was also curious, and without hesitation, he walked over.
As they entered the crowd, they soon heard a familiar voice.
At this moment, standing in the center of the crowd like the moon surrounded by stars, was none other than their famous rich second-generation classmate, and one of the sponsors of this gathering - Lu Kuihuan.
"Let me introduce you to the latest car robot, named 'Shadow Soul'. Isn't its appearance cool? Let me tell you, it's not only cool-looking but also extremely powerful! Even elite high-tier companion beasts are no match for it!"
As he spoke, he seemed to glance at Li Lanying intentionally, and then suddenly gave a command, "Shadow Soul, transform!"
As Lu Kuihuan's words fell, a buzzing sound immediately rang out, and in an instant, the black 'Shadow Soul' twisted and transformed into a three-meter-tall robot.
"Buzz..."
The super cool car robot appeared, causing a stir among the crowd.
Many people looked at Lu Kuihuan with envious eyes.
Lu Kuihuan, quite proud, tilted his chin.
Li Qian also saw the cool car robot, and as he saw its mechanical eyes suddenly turn red, emitting a dangerous aura, he couldn't help but frown and speak up, "This car robot seems off, like it has a bit of..."
Before his warning could finish, the cool 'Shadow Soul' suddenly raised a pair of thick mechanical arms and slammed them down.
The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Whether it was their classmates or the tourists watching, they all froze in shock.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd began to scatter.
However, the speed of the mechanical arms was too fast.
Those on the outskirts, like Li Qian and Li Lanying, could easily step back to avoid it, but those in the inner circle had no time to escape.
In a critical moment, a summoning array glowed, and a pink cat suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Dolmila, defend!"
Following a familiar command, Dolmila pushed forward with her claws, and a semi-transparent light screen suddenly appeared.
Li Qian turned his head, and then he saw that it was none other than 'Silent Beauty' Li Lanying, commanding Dolmila to use the 'Defend' skill.
Seeing Dolmila standing on Li Lanying's shoulder, Li Qian was surprised and muttered under his breath, "A life-type?"
Yes, Dolmila was a very rare life-type companion beast.
Rarer than the Yun Gu Egg in the beast hospital, it was.
