Chapter 72: Chapter 69: Dream a Little Prettier (Added for @Jiuzhu, the second Alliance Hierarch)

"Do you really think I would streak?" Qi Yi felt this was something he needed to clarify.

"You dare to streak, just try it~" Yan Yan threatened playfully.

"I wouldn’t dare unless you joined me." Qi Yi laughed after he realized Yan Yan was joking and responded to her threat.

Qi Yi was satisfied with Yan Yan’s reaction.

If Yan Yan really thought he would participate in such a bizarre festival, then she really "thought highly" of him.

"Really? Would you bear to?" Yan Yan’s tone was particularly puzzled and slightly challenging.

"As for that question, I haven’t even seen it yet. After I watch it, then I’ll know if I can bear it or not." Qi Yi responded with a particularly regretful yet earnest tone.

"Xiao Qizi, are you getting bolder and thinking of rebelling now?" Yan Yan was surprised that she never realized before that Qi Yi was "full of mischief."

"Your servant dares not, I’m just a bit frustrated." Qi Yi quickly switched his tone and changed the topic.

"What’s frustrating you?

You aren’t about to criticize me again for not attending your graduation ceremony, are you?

Don’t you think I’m at least as frustrated as you for not being able to attend your graduation ceremony?

I even had my plane ticket ready." Yan Yan had long been looking forward to meeting Qi Yi in the United States in June.

During the New Year, when Yan Yan asked Qi Yi in an email if he needed any family members at his graduation ceremony, Qi Yi, after receiving the email, expressed very eagerly that he indeed needed them.

Qi Yi was indeed telling the truth at that time.

Qi Yi’s mother had said a year ago that she was going to attend Qi Yi’s graduation ceremony.

However, she was denied a visa to the United States.

Being denied a visa to the United States usually comes without any reason explained.

Denied means denied.

Many people just give up.

However, Qi Yi’s mother was more stubborn.

She reapplied exactly the same application documents again.

Qi Yi was aware of this and thought that his mother’s actions were pointless.

Statistician Qi Yi, however, made a mistake in his calculations this time.

Mrs. Qi didn’t alter anything, and miraculously, she got her visa to the United States half a month before Qi Yi’s graduation ceremony.

Issuing visas in the United States usually doesn’t make any logical sense either; it’s not within the "statistician’s" calculated range.

"It’s not because of that." Qi Yi would not let himself be one of those people who continually harp on the same issue; nagging isn’t quite suitable for boys.

"Oh? Then what is it because of?" Yan Yan began to wonder.

"I sent you so many photos, and in every photo, there were so many people.

I had many classmates around me holding their own large photographs, and there were many cartoon characters.

Everyone was very noticeable.

Why did you only see those not wearing clothes from the Underwear Party?

Is it because the Underwear Party was all distinctively muscled hunks, right?

Do you think your infatuated behavior is appropriate?" Qi Yi asked feeling quite aggrieved.

"Er... I’m at a loss for words." Yan Yan was stumped by Qi Yi’s question.

"So, do you realize your mistake?" Qi Yi pressed his advantage.

"Can I say that everyone has a love for beauty, so, I don’t think I’m in the wrong?" Yan Yan felt it necessary to retort.

Dressing up as cartoon characters for a graduation ceremony is indeed strange, but as strange as a bright red underwear plus cap and gown combination. Yan Yan didn’t understand why she first noticed the Underwear Party, but she thought those who noticed the Underwear Party first probably included more than just her.

"No." Qi Yi did not accept it, and his tone even carried a bit of coquettishness.

"Fine, since it’s like this, then I admit my mistake." Yan Yan responded in a pitiful tone to the suddenly coquettish Qi Yi.

"Alright then, since it’s like this, how do you want me to make it up to you?" Qi Yi imitated Yan Yan’s manner of speaking.

"Mmmh, a kiss, okay?" Yan Yan played along.

"Not good enough." Qi Yi still harbored dissatisfaction.

"Then what would be enough?" Yan Yan asked in a particularly cute voice.

"Another kiss will do." Qi Yi stated his demand.

"You’re really becoming more childish. You better go to sleep now." Yan Yan switched to a tone specifically for dealing with "Xiao Qizi."

"I’ll remember to dream of you in my dreams." Xiao Qizi certainly didn’t dare to object to his master.

"Can you really control your dreams?" Yan Yan couldn’t believe it.

"Of course, what’s on one’s mind by day will appear in one’s dreams at night." Qi Yi said with absolute certainty.

"Well then, remember to dream of me looking pretty. Goodnight〜" Yan Yan instructed Qi Yi.

"Mhm, okay, you hang up first."

.........

A grand piano gift that big couldn’t possibly be delivered to school.

"Gift messenger" Yan Yan had promised Bao Bao to deliver the gift to her house today.

Bao Bao’s home in Xiamen was next to the Xiamen City Government.

Phoenix Villa.

Yan Yan had passed by this place several times while studying in Xiamen.

But if it wasn’t for helping Bao Bao deliver a gift to her twin sister this time, Yan Yan couldn’t even imagine that in this neighborhood that looked unprepossessing from the outside, and somewhat old, there was hidden a luxurious villa over an acre in size, with its own courtyard, swimming pool, garden, and parking space.

Most people who come to Xiamen to work or live from other places probably have never heard that a large villa is hidden beside the city government office.

Although it’s called Phoenix Villa, from the road, this so-called villa is just an old neighborhood.

And from the road, you can only see the low-rise, old facilities of those old apartments; you can’t see the villas at all.

Probably only those who are born and raised in downtown Xiamen could possibly have heard of the "grandeur" inside Phoenix Villa when it was first built.

Though the apartment’s buildings inside Phoenix Villa are old, many of the villas there have been demolished and rebuilt or renovated. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Seeing Phoenix Villa from the road and then looking again once inside, feels like entering another world entirely.

In any case, compared to those newly built villas along the island road of Xiamen, which one can see clearly into from outside, the villas hidden in Phoenix Villa are much more understated and have much more substance.

Besides the prime location, Phoenix Villa also boasts excellent school districts; both Mei Bao and Meina attended the Xiamen Foreign Language School.
