Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Chapter 713 Everyone’s eyes are on me!

Lin Bufan maneuvered the flying sports car, hovering smoothly about twenty meters above the villa's courtyard. Sunlight shone on the sleek body and outstretched wings, reflecting a dazzling light, making it resemble an elegant and mysterious giant bird perched in the air.

He glanced down at the bustling, unaware guests in the courtyard below, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. To ensure a safe landing and avoid disturbing or injuring anyone, he felt it necessary to "notify" everyone first.

He cleared his throat, tapped the car's central control screen, and activated the external speaker system. The next moment, a clear, loud voice, carrying his characteristic languidness and a hint of mockery, resounded throughout the villa courtyard like a broadcast:

"Ahem... Friends! Distinguished guests, friends and family! Excuse me! Attention! Attention! All eyes on me! All eyes on me!"

The sudden sound was like a pause button being pressed, instantly shattering the hustle and bustle of the courtyard. Everyone—those exchanging greetings, taking photos, chasing and playing children, and staff busy with final touches—was stunned, instinctively stopping what they were doing, and looking up blankly at the sky in the direction of the sound.

When their gazes focused on the futuristic-looking flying car hovering overhead, gleaming with a metallic sheen, the entire courtyard fell into an eerie, absolute silence that lasted for several seconds.

Immediately afterwards, like a drop of water thrown into a pot of boiling oil, the silence was instantly ignited!

"My God! What...what is that?!"

"A car?! A car flying in the sky?!"

"Am I seeing things? Or am I filming a movie?"

"Mom! Look! There's a flying car! Is it an alien?"

"Take a picture quickly! Quickly!"

……

Screams, screams, camera shutter clicks, the sound of phones falling... all sorts of sounds mingled together, and the crowd instantly erupted into chaos. Everyone craned their necks, their faces filled with extreme shock, bewilderment, and disbelief, pointing at the flying sports car in the air, as if witnessing something that defied all understanding.

Yang Tao, sitting in the passenger seat, was also startled by Lin Bufan's sudden "announcement." She turned around abruptly, and asked in a low voice, both surprised and embarrassed, "Lin Bufan! What are you doing?!"

"What else could we do? Of course, we'd pretend to be... cough cough!" Halfway through his sentence, Lin Bufan realized his wording was inappropriate and immediately cleared his throat, then solemnly corrected himself, "Of course, we'd remind the people below! We're about to land, and what if some clueless... ah, I mean, what if some guest doesn't notice and stands on our landing spot? Wouldn't that be terrible if they got hurt? Even if no one gets hurt, if they damage the flowers and plants and ruin the beautiful atmosphere of the wedding, that's not appropriate either, right? We're here to offer our blessings, not to cause trouble."

Yang Tao rolled her eyes at Lin Bufan's sophistry, speechless.

In the courtyard below, the groom, dressed in a smart suit with a floral brooch bearing the word "Groom," was arm in arm with his beautiful bride, Niu Niu, who was dressed in a pristine white wedding gown. The groom, head tilted back, mouth agape, stared at his equally dumbfounded bride, his voice trembling with disbelief and absurdity:

"Girl...Girl...you...you also invited...alien friends? Or rather...Autobot brothers from Cybertron?"

The bride, Niu Niu, was also completely bewildered. She blinked hard, then pinched her arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming, before stammering, "I...I didn't! I swear! I don't even have their contact information!"

Amidst the chaos and speculation on the ground, the flying sports car began its slow descent, its outstretched wings gleaming coldly in the sunlight, its engine emitting a deep, steady hum. Like an envoy from the future, it gracefully and smoothly landed on the relatively spacious lawn that had been specially reserved for it beside the villa courtyard, under the watchful eyes of countless people filled with shock, curiosity, and fear.

Just as he was about to open the car door, Lin Bufan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a brilliant idea. He grabbed Yang Tao's arm and excitedly suggested, "Taozi, wait a minute! I suddenly have a great idea! I've prepared two spacesuits in the trunk, the pure white kind, they're super cool! How about... we change into our spacesuits before we go out? This entrance will be absolutely unprecedented and will definitely shock everyone, making your best friend's wedding go down in history!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao turned to look at Lin Bufan in disbelief, her gaze as if she were looking at a patient who had escaped from an alien hospital. She forcefully shook off Lin Bufan's hand, glared at him irritably, and without a word, pushed open the car door, got out briskly, and muttered, "You put it on yourself! I can't afford to embarrass myself!"

Lin Bufan watched Yang Tao's resolute back, shrugged regretfully, and had no choice but to get out of the car as well.

The moment the two appeared, they instantly became the sole focus of the entire event. The futuristic-looking flying car, with its wings not yet fully retracted, was already astonishing enough, but the bizarre combination of Lin Bufan, who stepped out of the car in a bright purple velvet suit and adorned with a dazzling diamond brooch, and Yang Tao, who wore a light pink dress with a similarly sparkling brooch at the collar but looked as if she didn't recognize the person next to her, caused everyone's brains to overload with information.

A flood of exclamations, discussions, and whispers followed.

Yang Tao took a deep breath, trying to ignore the almost tangible gazes, and forced a smile as natural as possible on her face as she walked toward the bride Niu Niu and the groom, who were still in a daze and standing in the main seat.

"Niu Niu!" Yang Tao waved her hand, trying to bring her best friend back to her senses.

Niu Niu's gaze struggled to leave the flying car and land on Yang Tao's face. Her eyes were filled with confusion and terror, her finger trembling as she pointed at Yang Tao, her voice shaky: "You...you, who are you? Where did you take my Taozi? Let me tell you, no matter what kind of monster you are, get off my friend right now! Otherwise...otherwise I won't be polite to you! I...I've studied Maoshan Taoist magic!"

As she spoke, Niu Niu actually made a few clumsy hand gestures while muttering incantations, trying to exorcise the evil spirits.

Upon hearing the words "Maoshan Taoist arts," Lin Bufan's eyes lit up like searchlights. He strode forward, his face filled with curiosity and excitement, and his tone was incredibly sincere: "Really? You really know Maoshan Taoist arts? To be honest, I've longed to learn about our country's traditional culture, especially Taoist magic! I've always struggled to find a true master to guide me! I never expected to find such a master right beside me! Sister Niu Niu, do you think... it would be convenient for you to take me on as a disciple? Or, could we exchange our experiences?"

Looking at Lin Bufan's earnest, almost eager-to-be-his-apprentice demeanor, and then at her best friend's tense, "I'm exorcising a demon" expression, Yang Tao felt a deep sense of powerlessness wash over her. She rolled her eyes in exasperation, shoved Lin Bufan aside, and said helplessly to Niu Niu:

“Niu Niu! Look closely! It’s me! Yang Tao! The real deal! What demonic possession, Maoshan Taoist magic… Can’t you two be normal for once!” She pointed at Lin Bufan beside her, her voice trembling with despair: “And him! He’s just like that! He’s not some alien, nor is he a Transformer, he’s just my… my boyfriend who’s a little mentally unstable, Lin Bufan!”

Yang Tao's explanation, coupled with her familiar expression and tone, finally brought Niu Niu back to her senses. She carefully examined Yang Tao, then looked at Lin Bufan beside her who had an expression of "I'm very interested," and at the flying car behind them that looked nothing like a product of Earth. The expression on her face gradually changed from fear to excitement—the kind of excitement that such an awesome person is actually my friend.

Niu Niu's eyes lit up as she grabbed Yang Tao's hand, her voice full of envy: "Taozi, your boyfriend... he's really... such a surprise! This entrance is going to make headlines at my wedding!" As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted to the futuristic flying car parked quietly to the side, and she clicked her tongue in amazement: "This car... it looks so cool! The feeling of flying in the sky... must be amazing! The view must be incredible, right? It's completely different from flying in an airplane, isn't it?"

Yang Tao didn't pay much attention to Niu Niu's tone at first, and followed up with a smile: "It is quite different. It startled me at first, but you get used to it. It is indeed much better than being blocked on the ground."

"Right, right!" Niu Niu took Yang Tao's arm and leaned closer, her voice low and filled with longing: "You know, if we could take a ride in the sky and see the scenery below, especially at night, with all the lights on... how romantic that would be! Sigh, I'm just thinking about it, I probably won't have the chance to experience that in my lifetime..." As she spoke, she let out a long sigh, but her eyes kept glancing at Lin Bufan.

As Yang Tao listened, she finally realized what was going on. She lightly punched Niu Niu in an annoyance and said with a laugh, "You little rascal, you've been beating around the bush with me for so long, so you just wanted to ride this bus? Just say it!"

Niu Niu's thoughts were exposed, and two red clouds rose to her face. She said shyly, "I... I was just afraid of troubling you too much... and this car doesn't look cheap, I was just embarrassed..."

Yang Tao looked at her best friend's expectant yet embarrassed expression and felt both amused and helpless. She turned to Lin Bufan beside her, her eyes filled with questioning and a hint of embarrassment: "Bufan... what do you think of this..."

Lin Bufan was looking at the wedding venue with great interest when he heard this. He turned his head, waved his hand dismissively, and said in a cheerful tone, "What's wrong with that? Niu Niu is the bride today, she's the boss! Let alone flying around, even if she wanted to drive this car to the moon for a spin, as long as it's technically possible, I'd find a way to let her try!"

How about this, before the ceremony starts, you two go for a spin in the sky as a wedding gift! What do you say?

"Really?!" The groom's eyes widened instantly upon hearing that he could also get in, and he almost jumped for joy. But he immediately realized the problem, pointed at the sleek sports car, and said hesitantly, "But...but, this is a sports car, it only has two seats...If we both get in, who will drive? My driving instructor never taught me about this when I was taking my driving test!"

Just as Lin Bufan was about to explain that the car had intelligent driving capabilities, Niu Niu suddenly stepped forward, patting her chest and declaring confidently, "Don't worry, I can drive this car!"

"You can drive? When did you learn to drive? I didn't know that!" The groom looked at Niu Niu with a surprised expression, then seemed to think of something and his gaze swept back and forth between the bride and Lin Bufan!

Seeing this, Yang Tao narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Bufan with a scrutinizing gaze.

Niu Niu also sensed the change in the atmosphere. Seeing the groom's suspicious look, she immediately realized what was going on and angrily slapped his arm: "What are you thinking! I said it happened in the game!"

Everyone: "..."

This explanation... is indeed very abstract.

Lin Bufan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had just started to suspect that this girl was one of his forgotten good friends!

To prevent any further trouble, Lin Bufan quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, you guys hurry up and experience it, don't let it interfere with the important business. As for the driving, don't worry, this car has an intelligent system. Once you get in, you can just use voice control. Tell it how high you want to fly, where you want to go for a spin, it's very simple."

Upon hearing this, the bride and groom immediately forgot about their argument, thanked each other, and, hand in hand, ran excitedly towards the futuristic flying car like two children who had received a new toy.

All the guests' eyes followed them, their faces filled with amazement and envy. Watching the newlyweds carefully enter the car, the smooth doors closed automatically, followed by a deep engine hum, and the flying car smoothly took off again, gracefully circling above the villa.

Wow...that's so cool!

"If I could ride it even once in my life, it would be worth it!"

"This is real prestige..."

Exclamations of admiration and envious whispers spread quietly through the crowd.

As everyone looked up to admire the dazzling aerial car performance, Lin Bufan's gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd and caught sight of a familiar figure—Lan Weiwei. She was standing alone beside a cluster of flowers, dressed in an elegant gown, gazing at Lin Bufan with a resentful look!

Lin Bufan's gaze met Lan Weiwei's resentful look in the air. Lan Weiwei immediately turned her head away, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly towards the main building of the villa, soon disappearing into the crowd of guests.

"Bufan, what are you looking at?" Yang Tao looked in the direction Lin Bufan had been looking and saw only a crowd of people.

"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Bufan looked away, his face instantly switching to a slightly pained expression. He bent over slightly and covered his stomach with his hand: "Hiss... Peach, I think... my stomach hurts a little. I probably ate something bad this morning, I need to go to the toilet."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao looked at Lin Bufan with concern: "Oh? Is it serious? Are you alright? Can you find a restroom? Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, no need!" Lin Bufan quickly waved his hand, his tone both "strong" and "urgent": "I can go by myself, I'm sure I can find it. You stay here with Niu Niu and the others, and let me know for them after they've finished flying. I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Lin Bufan didn't wait for Yang Tao to respond. He clutched his stomach and walked somewhat "hurriedly" toward the direction where Lan Weiwei had disappeared, which was the main building of the villa.

Yang Tao watched Lin Bufan's "disheveled" back, shook her head helplessly, and muttered under her breath, "Really... why did he have to eat something bad at this time..."
