Chapter 624 (2/2)

She was a much more comfortable companion for Ye Lang compared to everyone else in the room.

“My name is Debbie!” corrected Debbie.

“Ah, yes, Debbie… Actually, I think Debbie isn’t a nice name…” said Ye Lang awkwardly.

“And?” said the offended Debbie.

“Nothing then, let’s go!” said Ye Lang.

“Alright!” Debbie immediately brought Ye Lang away.

They didn’t speak to each other during the whole journey to the main gate. They said their farewells then one prepared to rush away, another prepared to head back in…

“Hey! Are you going to leave here immediately?” said Debbie suddenly.

Ye Lang stopped in his tracks are looked back, “Yes, I’m only here to visit for two days.”

“Just two days?”

“Yes, I don’t have time. This trip wasn’t planned either,” said Ye Lang.

“Why don’t you have time? What are you going to do?”

“I’m going on a … self-searching journey around the world…”

“...” Debbie felt that she was being lied to.

Well, she wasn’t wrong, Ye Lang told her a straight-up lie. He couldn’t tell her about his trip to Vermillion Bird Empire.

“I’m leaving!” Ye Lang waved to Debbie and walked away in big steps.

“Hey!” called Debbie again.

“What is it now?” asked Ye Lang, slightly annoyed.

“In two days there’s an event here, are you interested?” asked Debbie.

“What event?” asked Ye Lang. He was always interested in cultural events.

“A bride snatching event…” replied Debbie.

“Not interested!” Ye Lang imagined it as an event where the ladies would throw balls into the river that were popular throughout the world.

“It’s not the one you’re thinking about. The way we do it here is different. The whole city participates. Although it’s called bride snatching, it has nothing to do with marriage,” explained Debbie.

“What?” That piqued Ye Lang’s interest.

“Participants are divided into two teams, red and blue. The red team protects the brides and the blue team tries to snatch them away. There are a hundred brides, the team that has the most brides in the end wins!”

“If the bride doesn’t want to go with the person on the blue team, she can reject it so the blue team has to deal with the red team and the brides. There would be more people on the red team than the blue team because the brides stay at one place throughout the game. If the blue team manages to get a bride from the red team then it’s one point to the blue team. It’s much harder to play as red.”

“Anything is allowed during the game for both sides as long as no one is seriously harmed! Right, members of the blue team and the brides will be matched before the game starts. So if the blue team caught their match, the bride can’t reject them and the blue team gets double points! The red team usually gets rid of those on the blue team that is matched though to get one point.”

“These matches are fate. They say that many end up together… This year I’m one of the brides…”

Ye Lang was silent for a while and said, “So you’re going to be a bride, and you’re telling me to participate. Aibi! Are you interested in me? You want to marry me!”

“Go die! I’m not interested in someone like you! Also, I said my name is Debbie!” Debbie glared at Ye Lang and went back in angrily.
