Dragon Hermit

Chapter 84: Acquaintance

The girls soft breathing tickled Xia Yans neck and heart, while her alluring lips were next to his ear, and he had a strong impulse to turn around and kiss them, but the former stood on her tiptoe and kissed his left cheek before he could obey his impulse and fulfill it.

Xia Yan, thank you.

Liu Xueer left nimbly and left Xia Yan standing there in a daze for five minutes before moving and leaving the restaurant blankly.

[This isnt my first kiss, is it? Nope, it shouldnt be, she didnt kiss me on the mouth]

Xia Yan strolled around in a park in the vicinity for a while before turning around and going back to the restaurant when it was almost time for the party. He had already met them, but he must participate in the official party, and he was also quite curious about the life of wealthy people.

The restaurant was a part of the Liu familys industries and wasnt open for business on this day. There was still half an hour left until the partys beginning, but there was already a heavy line of traffic in front of the restaurant and luxurious cars came over and parked one after the other.

There was also an endless stream of handsome men and beautiful ladies, as well as successful men clad in western outfits and married women in gorgeous evening dresses. He even saw many actresses, famous singers, and TV Channels hosts. This lineup of people had surpassed even award bestowal ceremonies, and those peoples status was higher than upcoming stars by a lot.

Previously, Xia Yan had no idea about the chasm between him and the Liu family. After all, he had only an abstract concept of the Liu familys wealth and influence. But now, the arrival of those outstanding guests demonstrated clearly the Liu familys amazing status.

When it comes to wealth and influence, the Liu family is already at the peak of the pyramid, while Im its bottom, and there are at least 180 layers between us, Xia Yan lamented inwardly, but he didnt have any feeling of inferiority. He had such a feeling previously, but after he fused with the Lichs memory, he became the most unique being in this world, and he believed firmly that he wasnt inferior to anyone.

Xia Yan walked to the restaurant, but he was stopped by an attendant at the entrance. Sir, can you show me your invitation card?

[An invitation card?]

Xia Yan was taken aback, and he noticed then that other people had exquisite invitation cards in their hands. It seemed like Liu Xueer had forgotten to give him one, or she probably believed that Xia Yan didnt need one.

Im a friend of Liu Xueer and she invited me over, Xia Yan said to the young attendant.

Im sorry then, but may I ask whats your name? Ill confirm it, the young attendant was quite polite, but he probably didnt look down on Xia Yan only because he wore branded clothes.

Im Xia Yan.

Xia Yan? A surprised voice echoed among the bystanders. At this moment, the young attendant was about to use his walkie-talkie to verify Xia Yans status, yet he stopped upon hearing this voice.

Xia Yan turned his head around to look at the speaker, and sighted upon a handsome youth in his twenties, as well as a pretty woman with a figure rivaling models clad in formal attire. The woman was holding the youths arm and they seemed a perfect match. However, many pairs of handsome men and pretty women were present tonight and they didnt stand out.

The main point was that Xia Yan didnt recognize this youth. He asked in confusion, Do you know me?

Hahaha, I obviously do, The youth laughed loudly, but it was obvious that he wasnt laughing out of excitement due to running into an old acquaintance, and his hostility was apparent through his laughter.

You are the man of the moment among Sihe Universitys freshmen, not only you befriended the most beautiful woman of the dormitory, you are also quite close to Qi Ziyu, arent you? The youth asked with a sneer.

Who are you? Xia Yan asked with a smile.

Im Zhou Yi, the youth uttered his name without bothering to introduce himself, as if he was confident that Xia Yan knew him.

Zhou Yi? Xia Yan furrowed his brows. I have heard this name somewhere Let me think

After he spoke, he started mulling it over earnestly, as he really couldnt recall him. But in Zhou Yis eyes, this behavior wasnt any different than brazen contempt of him.

Young Master Zhou, who is he? The pretty woman next to Zhou Yi asked in a sweet voice. She knew well that her male companion wanted to show off, and she would do her best to support him.

A poor loser fond of pestering pretty women, Zhou Yi said disdainfully.

Why did he come here? The woman continued acting dumb and helped him.

Who knows, he probably knows Liu Xueer and wants to suck up to the Liu family, haha! Zhou Yi laughed heartily.

It turns out its like so, this man is a joke. Even a bum wants to get into Miss Lius birthday party, the pretty woman also laughed alongside the youth.

After this duos speech, the people in the vicinity had also cast a disdainful gaze at Xia Yan, and even the attendant lowered his walkie-talkie and didnt bother with checking and confirming Xia Yans identity.

[F*ck!]

Xia Yan flew into a rage. [They are stepping over me, arent they? This is the first time I meet you, is there any great enmity between us?]

{Zhou Yi Oh, thats right, isnt he the one pursuing An Xiaoru, the student unions vice president, the taekwondo clubs president, isnt he?]

Xia Yan finally recalled him. Someone had already told him about him and said that he set his eyes on him due to the friendship between room 404 and room 504s residents.

Looks are really deceiving, I felt like I stepped on shit, Xia Yan shook his head and said in disgust.

Who are you talking about? Zhou Yi shouted sharply. He had heard him clearly and his face fell.

Its whoever replied first, do you still have to ask? Xia Yan sneered and said, Who are you even? What the hell does it have to do with you whether I suck up to the Liu family or not, why are you even running your mouth off?

You Zhou Yi was enraged and he couldnt help but think of the ambiguous relationship between Xia Yan and An Xiaoru. He really wished to stamp him with his foot!

Do you want a fight? Come over and have a try, dont hold yourself! Upon seeing Zhou Yi clenching his first, Xia Yan couldnt help but laugh. This guy was putting on airs and came clad in a refined attire. So, he obviously wouldnt resort to blows, but if anger got over his head, then it would be unknown what he would do.

At this moment, Xia Yan felt like he had turned into a petty villain and he started taunting Zhou Yi, Come at me, isnt it just a cheap western suit? Just take it off and come at me, dont stand there like a girl. Youre all talk and no action and people will look down on you. Come at me, just give it a try, Mister Liu may even take a liking to you after the fight and you will get close to the Liu family. Come at me, what are you still thinking of? Lets fight

Zhou Yi clenched his first further. Xia Yan had spoken quickly and loudly and he couldnt even break him off and retort back in time. If they werent now in the Liu familys estate, he would have already assaulted him. But now, he could only bear this.

What you are standing here for? Didnt you see Young Master Zhou getting cursed and humiliated? Why didnt you drive out this poor loser? Where is security? The pretty woman next to Zhou Yi realized that the current situation was anything but reassuring and she sought help from the attendant. She exploited Zhou Yis might to order him around.

Sir, if you dont have an invitation, then please leave, or Ill have to call the security, the attendant walked to Xia Yan and interrupted him.

Xia Yan cast a glance at him and said with a sneer, Didnt you see him provoking me?

This The attendants face got flushed and he said, But he has an invitation and hes a guest of the Liu family.

You should do your duty, Xia Yan cast a glance at the walkie-talkie hung on the attendants waist. If you dont want to suffer terribly, dont overstep your bounds and join in the fun.

You The attendants heart shuddered and didnt dare to utter another word. He had already realized his mistake, and realized that he should have checked the youths identity. He could only mumble several words and go back awkwardly. He just went to a corner and reported this affair to his superior and checked Xia Yans identity.
