After a brief conversation and interaction, Chen Shuo concluded that Su Yuanying was a hidden big shot!
At the basketball club, Chen Shuo trained the new members along with a few core members.
After the first half ended, Chen Shuo was already drenched in sweat.
On the bench by the court, as Chen Shuo sat down, a hand reached out to him, holding a warm towel in its palm.
Looking up, he met Su Xiyan's exquisitely beautiful and aloof face.
The other students were no longer surprised to see the school beauty Su Xiyan bringing things for Chen Shuo.
Some students who were quite close with Chen Shuo, seeing Su Xiyan there, deliberately joked, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Su Xiyan did not respond, but the expression on her face was no longer as icy-cold.
It had softened considerably, making her appear even more radiantly beautiful.
Chen Shuo slapped a student on the shoulder: "What are you babbling about? Sister-in-law?"
"Focus on practicing your dribbling instead!"
Su Xiyan glared at Chen Shuo: "Why so fierce?"
"You should be kind and inclusive towards club members."
Chen Shuo: "..."
From Su Xiyan's micro-expressions, it was clear that she had become entranced by the students' repeated "sister-in-law" remarks, unable to break free.
Su Xiyan took out a thermos from her bag and handed it to Chen Shuo:
"What did you tell my dad today?"
Chen Shuo gulped down a few mouthfuls of water: "Huh? What did I say?"
Su Xiyan: "About me leaving home! What did you say to my dad?"
After asking, Su Xiyan leaned even closer to Chen Shuo, her body almost resting against his chest.
The other students were already used to witnessing such daily displays of affection.
Chen Shuo's tone was casual: "I just told your dad that I'm a vampire."
As soon as Chen Shuo finished speaking, Su Xiyan's shrill scream echoed throughout the basketball court:
"What?!"
Everyone's eyes were now fixed on Su Xiyan.
This was the first time the aloof school beauty Su Xiyan had lost her composure in public.
She quickly regained her composure and lowered her voice to ask, "Chen Shuo! How could you tell my dad such things?"
"Don't you know, my dad is not just a businessman, he's also a..."
Chen Shuo finished her sentence: "He's also a monster hunter, right?"
Su Xiyan nearly screamed again.
She had been thinking of concealing Chen Shuo's vampire identity from him, as well as hiding her father's monster hunter identity, to prevent them from immediately falling into an adversarial relationship upon first meeting.
Little did she expect that they had already entered a state of complete frankness!
Fortunately, Chen Shuo did not know that Su Yuanying was a Platinum Three-Star monster hunter,
And Su Yuanying did not know that Chen Shuo was the Ghost King.
From this, it was evident that neither of them had been completely open with the other - at most, it was a half-open game, with some things still held back.
A cunning little fox pretending to be a pig to devour a tiger,
And an inscrutable old fox,
Su Xiyan couldn't help but sigh: looks like there's going to be an interesting show.
On Sunday morning, Su Xiyan rushed into Chen Shuo's room.
Chen Shuo was still curled up in his blanket, sleeping groggily.
He only felt a cool, soft hand reaching into his blanket.
He thought he was dreaming until that hand pinched his back.
Opening his eyes, he saw Su Xiyan's furrowed brows.
"So early in the morning, can't I sleep in? It's the weekend, and we don't have to go to school."
After speaking, Chen Shuo retracted into the blanket like a little snail.
Su Xiyan simply pulled off his blanket: "You still know it's the weekend, huh?"
"Get up!"
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan began a tug-of-war over the blanket: "Why get up so early? What are we doing?"
Su Xiyan: "Going to the bridal shop to try on formal attire."
Bridal shop? Formal attire?
Chen Shuo, not fully awake yet: "What? Are you getting married?"
Su Xiyan: "..."
"Who am I marrying?"
Chen Shuo nodded dazedly: "Oh right, I'm not marrying you."
The next second, the sound of a bloodcurdling scream erupted from Chen Shuo's room.
This finally woke Chen Shuo up completely.
Next week was Su Xiyan's cousin's wedding day, and since one pair of bridesmaids and groomsmen had an emergency and couldn't make it back from out of town, Su Xiyan had to temporarily step in as a bridesmaid.
Chen Shuo was also nominated by Su Xiyan's father, Su Yuanying, to be a groomsman, and to attend as Su Xiyan's boyfriend, fulfilling the relatives' expectations.
All the relatives were eager to see what kind of man had won Su Xiyan's heart.
Now the pressure was on Chen Shuo.
Half an hour later, Su Xiyan's white AMG departed from the Ocean View Apartments.
The wedding ceremony was being held in the neighboring Yu Hua City, and the bridesmaids' and groomsmen's formal attire was custom-made at a bridal shop.
Coincidentally, the bridal shop had a branch in Su City, where Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were based.
So they could try on their bridesmaid and groomsman attire in Su City.
The white AMG stopped in front of an elegantly decorated bridal shop, and several staff members warmly welcomed Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan inside.
The manager personally greeted them: "These are the bridesmaid and groomsman styles sent over from the main store. Please follow me."
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan were led by male and female staff members to their respective changing rooms.
The groomsmen's attire was simple - a shirt paired with a suit and trousers, along with a classy bowtie.
With Chen Shuo's height of nearly 1.8 meters and his love for basketball and exercise, his physique was naturally impressive.
After putting on the suit, his youthful air gave way to a more mature and composed demeanor.
He sat on the sofa, accepting the coffee handed to him by the staff, waiting for Su Xiyan to finish changing.
It really was a hassle for women to change clothes!
This time, the bridesmaid dress was a light purple, flowing gown.
Su Xiyan had never worn such a gentle color or such a dreamy, flowing dress style before.
He wondered what she would look like wearing it?
Chen Shuo's heart was filled with anticipation.
His eyes kept glancing towards the women's changing room door, but whenever it opened, he quickly averted his gaze, feigning nonchalance.
When Su Xiyan appeared at the changing room door, Chen Shuo's eyes lit up!
Oh my god!
He immediately wanted to call his mom, excitedly telling her:
Mom! I saw a fairy!
But of course, he couldn't lose his composure in front of Su Xiyan!
She was well aware of her beauty, having grown up in an environment where she was constantly showered with praises about her exquisite looks.
So Chen Shuo decided to maintain a calm and seasoned demeanor, determined not to let Su Xiyan know that he too had been captivated.
The light purple gown, gentle yet full of ethereal grace, perfectly complemented Su Xiyan's figure and aura!!
Su Xiyan didn't seem too interested in the bridesmaid dress, her gaze drifting towards the wedding gowns in the nearby display window, her eyes shimmering with longing as she asked the staff member, "Can I try on this wedding dress?"
