[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch76 - Looking for a Boyfriend

Just as Song Xuanhe had spoken, the young lady knocked on the door. She handed a menu to Song Xuanhe with a pout. "I heard you talking about me!"

"Mn." Song Xuanhe smiled. "I didn't say anything bad."

"You said that I'm a kid. That means you don't believe me." The girl huffed. She then passed a menu to Xiao Yuanmu and asked him, "Da Gege, you think I'm right, don't you? Do you believe me?"

Xiao Yuanmu accepted the menu, glanced at Song Xuanhe, and then said in a cool—not cold—voice, "I believe you."

When she heard this, the young lady looked back at Song Xuanhe, clearly pleased. She raised her chin as if she was showing off. When she saw Song Xuanhe had only raised a brow at her silently, she snorted and turned back to Xiao Yuanmu. "My dad says that my predictions are the best! A couple who I had blessed when I was ten got married two years later. They had even asked me to be their flower girl! My dad also said that the gaze directed to someone you really love is different than the ones towards others. Gege, the way you look at this big brother is just like how Father looks at Dad! I would never mistake it!"

Xiao Yuanmu looked at her curiously. "Gaze?

"Yup!" The young lady nodded earnestly. "It's the gaze of someone in love!"

Song Xuanhe froze, cup at his lips. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, but Xiao Yuanmu wasn't looking at him. So, he replied to the girl, "If your prediction really comes true, we'll invite you to be our flower girl when we get married."

"No thanks!" The young lady refused decisively. When she saw Song Xuanhe's expression of surprise, she explained, "I'm already sixteen. I can't be a flower girl anymore. I can only be a bridesmaid. But, I can't be your bridesmaid. I have two best friends. I have to be their bridesmaid when they get married. Dad said that one shouldn't attempt to do something more than three times. I also have heard that a girl who has been a bridesmaid many times won't ever get married herself. Therefore, I can't be your bridesmaid."

Song Xuanhe couldn't help himself from laughing, looking at the young lady's serious expression. "You're looking really far into the future despite how young you are."

"I'm not young!" The young lady pouted. "I can get married in two years!" She then looked at Song Xuanhe with glimmering eyes, "Gege, when will you two get married?"

Song Xuanhe's mind blanked. He just realized that the marriage laws of this world were different from his own world's laws. Here, everyone could marry at eighteen. It was just that few people actually got married that early, whether it was because of education or because they and their families were more open-minded. Most people waited until they were at least twenty eight. That was why he had forgotten about this even though he had learned it from the original host's memories.

Upon not receiving an answer, the young lady pondered over this. "You guys aren't wearing rings, so you're not engaged yet. If you're not engaged, that means marriage is still really far away. Gege, just when will you get married?"

"Right, Da Gege, what do you want to eat? Our restaurant's Sea King congee is good." The young lady switched topics very quickly. She had already started to recommend dishes in a blink of an eye. "All the ingredients are brought in fresh from the source. We never use ingredients from the previous day. There's only enough ingredients left right now to make one serving of the Sea King congee. If you want it, I'll immediately go to the kitchen and tell Dad!"

Xiao Yuanmu's gaze shifted over to Song Xuanhe, who was lost in thought. He paused and then handed the menu over to the young lady. "Two seafood congees."
