Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The Host Arrives

Tao Yizhong’s father didn’t harbor as many doubts about Li Yifei. Seeing that Li Yifei had helped find the hosts, he immediately relaxed and said to everyone, "Come on, everyone still needs to help. We have tasks like handing out cigarettes and liquor, and then there’s setting off fireworks. We’re going to need your assistance."

Following Tao Yizhong’s father to a corner of the hall, everyone discussed their respective tasks, while Qian Feifei and two other girls ran outside the hotel to wait for the hosts.

After waiting for over ten minutes, a red Mazda6 pulled up to the hotel entrance. The doors opened, and two tall women wearing large sunglasses stepped out of the car and walked shoulder to shoulder toward the hotel doors. Even with their faces mostly hidden by the sunglasses, anyone could tell they were beauties.

These two were none other than Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao. Not seeing Li Yifei at the hotel entrance, Li Xinyue called him to say they had arrived. Li Yifei told them to wait a moment, saying he would come out shortly.

Qian Feifei looked at the two beauties at the entrance, feeling they looked familiar. Her classmate nudged her gently and whispered, "Do those two look like Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao?"

Qian Feifei’s eyes lit up. As Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao looked in their direction, she finally recognized them as the most famous hosts in Mile City.

"It really is them!" Qian Feifei exclaimed excitedly, and without thinking, she rushed over to Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao. Upon reaching them, she didn’t know what to do and stammered, "It’s really you! I’m a big fan of yours."

In Mile City, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao indeed had some fans. Though not as swarmed by fans as those big-name stars wherever they went, being asked for autographs was common. The hosts just smiled faintly, with Song Lianyao saying, "Thank you for your support."

Even more excited, Qian Feifei struggled to find a topic of conversation. She then remembered Li Yifei asking her to receive two hosts here. Seeing the two waiting, she suddenly connected the dots and asked, "You... you aren’t here to host a wedding, are you?"

Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao both looked at Qian Feifei and said, "Yes, that’s right. It should be this place." Then Li Xinyue pointed toward the archway at the hotel entrance.

Qian Feifei’s eyes widened in shock. Though there were two celebrations at the hotel that day, only one, Tao Yizhong’s wedding, had an archway because the other was just a housewarming.

Meaning these two hosts were actually here for Tao Yizhong’s wedding. Could it be that the two people Li Yifei mentioned he’d invited to host were them?

"Brother Li, you really are busy," Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao said, looking at Qian Feifei with surprise and delight. Qian Feifei quickly turned around and saw Li Yifei approaching.

"I was just helping out a classmate and got held up. Sorry about that," Li Yifei greeted them with a cheerful smile.

As Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao moved toward Li Yifei, Song Lianyao laughed and said, "Brother Li, you really do all kinds of work, don’t you?"

Li Yifei laughed heartily and replied, "Of course, it’s a classmate’s wedding. How could I not help out?"

"Brother Li is truly loyal," they said.

After exchanging a few words, Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao wanted also to leave Li Yifei with a good impression. Li Xinyue said to him, "Brother Li, it’s getting late. The groom probably hasn’t returned yet. We need to go meet his parents to get some information. Plus, after the groom brings back the bride, we’ll need to have a chat with them to make the wedding hosting more interesting."

"Sure!" Li Yifei nodded and said, "Then let Qian Feifei take you there. I’ve still got things to finish up."

"Alright, then you go ahead and get busy, Brother Li."

Li Yifei turned and said to Qian Feifei, "Feifei, take the two hosts to find Yizhong’s parents."

But Qian Feifei stood motionless, as if rooted to the spot in shock, and the other two female classmates were just as dazed, unable to snap out of it.

What was going on? In the eyes of his classmates, Li Yifei was not the most looked down upon, but he had always seemed so ordinary. Yet here were Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, the most famous hosts in Mile City, both calling him "Brother Li" intimately. And strong figures like Cao Yingbo couldn’t even get them to host. The classmates simply couldn’t accept this reality.

"What are you dazing out for? Come on, we’re short on time. Don’t you want Yizhong’s wedding to go well?" Li Yifei came over and patted Qian Feifei’s shoulder.

Qian Feifei shivered back to awareness, staring at Li Yifei and asked, "What did you say?"

Li Yifei was at a loss for words. "I told you to take them to find Yizhong’s parents. They need to understand something."

Qian Feifei’s eyes, already wide, now gleamed like two little bulbs as she excitedly said, "You mean... let me... take them?"

Li Yifei was defeated by Qian Feifei’s reaction. The allure of the two hosts was indeed great. All he could say was, "Yes, take them over there, quickly."

Only then did an ecstatic Qian Feifei lead Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao toward one side of the hall. The other two female classmates finally came to their senses. One looked at Qian Feifei with envy, and then they both turned to Li Yifei, grabbed his arms—one on each side—and urgently asked, "Li Yifei, how do you know these two hosts?"

Li Yifei broke into a sweat and said, "I’ll tell you when there’s time. You should go help out Qian Feifei for now. I’ve still got stuff to handle."

Although the two female classmates were burning with curiosity, there was always a chance to ask Li Yifei later on, but once Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao left, they might never have the chance to see them again. So, they quickly followed after them.

Li Yifei returned to help the others with some chores, and when no one had yet seen the hosts, Wang Tao became anxious and said to Li Yifei, "Li Yifei, have the hosts arrived yet?"

Li Yifei replied with a smile, "They’ve arrived; Qian Feifei and the others are following them."

Only then did everyone realize they hadn’t seen Qian Feifei and the other two female classmates for a while now. Qian Feifei was the most active girl among them, and her absence was particularly noticeable. Cao Yingbo immediately said, "What host is so big-time that even Qian Feifei and the other two are following around?"

Just as Li Yifei was about to answer, Qian Feifei and the other two classmates came running over, bursting with excitement. Cao Yingbo immediately repeated his earlier question.

With a proud lift of her chin, Qian Feifei said, "That’s a secret for now," and then she winked at Li Yifei.

"You can’t be serious. What’s there to keep secret?" Su Peng looked at Qian Feifei with confusion.

Qian Feifei giggled and said, "You’ll find out in a moment anyway."

That’s when Zhao Xiaobao suddenly said, "Don’t tell me you actually managed to invite Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao?"

Before Qian Feifei and the others could react, Cao Yingbo scoffed and said, "Don’t be ridiculous. If those two actually came, I’d write my Cao surname upside down."

Qian Feifei and the two classmates who had gone with her had odd expressions, as if they wanted to laugh but dared not to. Seeing their faces, Cao Yingbo suddenly felt that he might have spoken too soon. But then he shook his head; Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao were no ordinary people. Even his own father couldn’t easily invite them, let alone their fellow classmates. Li Yifei had mentioned inviting two hosts, but he hadn’t specified that it was them. Besides, as a junior employee, Li Yifei couldn’t possibly afford such prestigious hosts.

Then, the bridal cars arrived, and someone called them out to set off firecrackers in welcome, and the group of male classmates immediately ran out, putting aside the previous matter for the time being.

In Mile City, there is a designated person to handle wedding affairs, so the hosts did not need to show up at this time. Watching Tao Yizhong with his bride in her immaculate white wedding dress, his face beaming with happiness, all the classmates started cheering loudly. Qian Feifei and the two other classmates showed signs of jealousy as they looked at Tao Yizhong’s new wife.

What a fortunate woman she was to have such big-name hosts like Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao preside over her wedding.

Catching sight of Li Yifei, who was watching the commotion, Qian Feifei sidled up to him and whispered, "Li Yifei, can you help me invite them to host my wedding when I get married?"

Li Yifei found himself in a difficult position to refuse, but whether he could invite them again was another matter. He replied, "I can’t be sure, but I’ll try my best. We’re old classmates after all. If I can help, I definitely will."

Qian Feifei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don’t give me that. You managed it for Tao Yizhong, so you’d better make it happen for me, or I won’t let it slide."

Li Yifei could only laugh and nod in agreement, but quickly added, "I can only promise you, this favor is quite substantial. Don’t go spreading the word, or else everyone will come to me, and I really can’t guarantee if the hosts will be available."

Qian Feifei chuckled and said, "Fine, as long as you help me, that’s all that matters. I don’t care about the others."

At that moment, Tao Yizhong and his bride arrived at their prepared room. They needed to change clothes and prepare for their entrance among other things. Just after they entered, there was a knock at the door.

Tao Yizhong hurried to open it and saw two stylishly dressed beauties. They looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen them and thought they might be relatives. He welcomed them politely, "Hello."

"Greetings, groom. We’re here to host your wedding today, and we need to have a chat with you both about your love story," they announced.

Tao Yizhong quickly responded, slightly confused. He had met the original host the night before, along with his wife, and wondered why the host had changed today.

He invited the two women into the room and as he closed the door, Tao Yizhong suddenly realized who they were and stood there, dumbfounded. Meanwhile, his wife Ruan Xiaoling’s lips trembled with excitement as she stuttered, "Li Xinyue, Song Lianyao... is it really you?"

Li Xinyue replied with a bright smile, "Yes, it’s us. We’re here to host your wedding today. We hope you’ll be satisfied."

"Satisfied! More than satisfied!" Ruan Xiaoling nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face. Tao Yizhong, being a man, quickly stood beside her to support her.

Clutching Tao Yizhong’s arm, Ruan Xiaoling was so overwhelmed with joy she was nearly faint, and she choked out, "Yizhong, you’re so good to me."

Still not fully understanding what was happening, Tao Yizhong cautiously addressed Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, "Ladies, I’m a bit perplexed, I..."

Song Lianyao cut him off, smiling, "As long as you know we’re your hosts, that’s fine. We have some questions that need your answers. Make sure to cooperate well with us, otherwise, any flaws in the wedding ceremony will be your loss."

Tao Yizhong and Ruan Xiaoling took a few deep breaths to calm their nerves. Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao were skilled in their conversation, quickly stabilizing the couple’s emotions. However, Ruan Xiaoling held Tao Yizhong’s hand tight throughout, overcome by the wonderful surprise—a wedding hosted by the two celebrities was an incredible boon for any woman.
