2784 A Coincidence 4 (2/2)

She touched her face intuitively to make sure that she still had the appearance of an ordinary maiden and was relieved that her true appearance was not exposed. Perplexed, she then looked at the young man.

He was still standing right across her table and looking at her smilingly. She could not tell what he was thinking from his expression but found it rather odd. His face was, however, was very attractive, regardless of his expression.

Nonetheless, Gu Xijiu was not interested in a relationship. She only thought that the young man was a little odd. ”I did not invite you. Look around, many did,” she gently reminded him.

The young man finally smiled and asked, ”Why didn't you?”

Gu Xijiu did not answer.

”Aren't you attracted by my appearance?”

”Frankly, I am not,” she answered.

She had seen many beautiful men all her life but was never interested in any. The creator of the universe had to be austere without any selfish desire.

The young man took out his fan and waved it in his hand. ”That is right. I cannot eat well under their intense gaze of admiration, so I will not join their tables. You are not friendly, but you are the kind of table mate that I need. I shall sit here, then.”

He gave the chair a quick sweep, so as to flick away any dust from the seat. He then sat down right away.

Gu Xijiu did not many any comments since the man was only there to share the table, so she did not really mind.

The young man proceeded to order a few dishes, and the food did not take long to be served on his side of the table. He took a look at the plates and bowls that were not neatly placed and waved his hand to cast a spell to rearrange the dishes into two lines.
