Magic Star (奇星记之鲜衣怒马少年时)

But based on the rule in this bay, there has never been a woman who can inherit the family business.

Since you are not able to inherit your family business,

automatically, you can't manage this hot springs inn.

But I want to be a good person and do a good deed in helping you manage it.

That's why, I also must have an official title.

Isn't that so?

Around here,

who doesn't know that I'm sincere towards you?

Then rather than looking for another date, why don't we just set it to today?

Today, just officially be my wife.

How about it?

This way, as one family, we don't need to be against each other.

Pfft! A toad wanting to eat swan meat!

Xiao Mei, take Xiao Cai away first.

I'll deal with this rascal.

I'll let you taste my brush!

Who do you think you are?

You won't behave if I don't teach you a lesson.

Then I'll let you pay for both old and new grudges today then.

Buddies, attack!

Yes!

Drag him away!

Don't let me see him again!

Get up. - Stop! Stop!

Stop! Get lost!

Yuan Shuai. - What? So does that mean you agree?

Xiao Cai, don't mind me.

Hurry and go.

Xiao Dao, if I marry you, you'll give up already. Is that it?

Right.

So many years have passed.

In this bay, other than me, who else will be willing to marry you?

Come, Yuan Shuai.

Xiao Dao, then let me tell you.

All the people here, please be my witness.

He, Yuan Shuai, is my fiancé.

We have already privately pledged to be married to each other. Soon we'll have a marriage ceremony.

From now on, I will be his person.

Do you have any question?

Zhou Xiao Cai, do you think that just randomly grabbing a person, you'd be pledged to be married?

Do you think I am a three-year-old child?

Who are you fooling?

Can someone just randomly speak about one's marriage?

After all, our Zhou family also is a respectable family.

No matter in how much dire straits we end up, we still won't need a rascal like you to prop up our reputation.

Xiao Dao, look well.

Yuan Shuai, let me ask you.

Are you willing to marry me, Zhou Xiao Cai, as your wife?

Answer.

I am willing.

Fine, Zhou Xiao Cai. You just have to do this, is that it?

Then don't blame me for not giving you any retreat path.

Xiao Dao, listen well.

He, Yuan Shuai, is my fiancé.

Zhou Xiao Cai...

Fine. I even thought you loved your Older Bro Ying Jun so much.

Looks like, you are only like this.

Everyone, just disperse.

By that time, we will let everyone attend the wedding.

We surely will entertain you all well.

Fine. You win for today.

Move out! - Get lost!

Move aside! Move aside!

Xiao Cai, don't worry.

Older sis... - I surely will treat you well for the rest of my life.

you are not planning to... - No matter if the world ends,

I will still be loyal to you.

Older Sis, I never thought that you were this kind of person.

When you kill, you attack so fast that the enemy is caught unprepared. Just publicly announcing your fiancé.

You tell me. If you're that good, why didn't you just say that Xiao Dao was you fiancé?

Bullying a chef who has amnesia. Do you think it's fun?

I also was just forced to do it.

You also saw that situation earlier.

If it was you, you also would do the same.

If I'd known earlier...

Hey, Little Sister, stop saying cynical remarks.

Hurry and help me think of an idea.

If we are not able to think of an idea by today, I'll kick Yuan Shuai out.

Older Sis, is everything really clear to you?

Then kick him out. He isn't my fiancé anyway.

Based on what?

We worked hard to earn money outside and we will just give it to you?

First, you privately pocketing the reward has violated a major law of the underground city.

Second, this money isn't going to me.

When you all were still training in the assassin's camp,

didn't you eat and use the best ones?

When you have become true assassins, that is when you repay the underground city.

Can't we even use this money to buy medicine for our sick father?

Your father is sick?

Does your father know about this?

If he knew about it, would he approve of your doing?

My father was the one who raised me.

Now that I have attained achievements,

can't I even repay him?

I am not tasked to reply to such questions.

You decide by yourself. - You...

This girl looks quite outstanding.

I'm guessing that she must be the leader here.

Maybe I can even get some clues from her.

Do you dare steal my money?

When have I tried stealing your money?

What is this?

Your money bag. What else can it be?

He is an outsider! - Hey...

Calm down. Calm down.

I only just stole a money bag. Do you guys have to be like this?

Stop!

A few of you take him up here.

As for the rest, just disperse.

Yes.

Go. I'm returning this to you.

Older Sis. Older Sis!

What is it?

Now that our business is doing well,

tell me, what should we do?

What 'what should we do'?

Yuan Shuai.

What really do you want to say?

Yuan Shuai is currently our shop's main profit source.

Our shop's business is doing so great now all thanks to him.

You are not telling me to betray Older Bro Ying Jun, right?

Older Sis, what are you thinking?

I didn't mean it that way.

What I mean is Yuan Shuai will never keep being a chef here.

He just hasn't regained his memories yet for now.

Once he does, he surely will hate us.

Even if he doesn't, he most likely won't keep staying here to work for us.

I also thought about that problem.

But right now, we don't have a better way.

Older Sis, you have studied more than me.

Think of a way.

The books have everything but it never taught me how to make a person stay.

Based on my observations these past days,

I noticed that our customers here are not really coming for the hot springs,

nor the little yellow fish set meal.

Then what is their purpose?

Could it be that they are coming here because of us?

Of course not.

It's the sauce ingredient.

Sauce ingredient?

Right now, there are already a lot of customers asking me

if we can sell the sauce separately.

Do you know what this means?

This means that the sauce is our store's main selling point.

Recently, I have been helping him as his assistant.

I have been indirectly asking him about it.

He said that this is a family secret recipe. He cannot tell it to outsiders.

If the sauce is our shop's main selling point,

then I must think of a way to get it.

I indeed want to tell you about this matter.

We will be unable to let him stay but we must keep the sauce.

Am I being unkind for thinking that way?

Have you forgotten those words that you said before?

All hard work that one does just to protect oneself

is worthy to be understood.

Xiao Mei, it's good that you are here.

Just good. Just good. I have something to ask you.

What?

Did you feel that after Xiao Cai proposed marriage to me,

she seems to be avoiding me these past days.

You can't blame my older sis about that!

No. No. I am not blaming her.

But you also know that my brain isn't working that well now.

Did I do anything wrong that had angered her?

And also I am a little suspicious...

Suspicious of what?

Suspicious that she is just using me.

No. How could my older sis use you?

Don't you know how you wooed her before?

Don't you know that you two were already in talks of marriage before?

Don't you know how sincere older sis is towards you?

I really don't remember all these that you are saying.

Can you tell them to me?

Oh, no. Isn't he asking me to lie?

Older Bro Ying Jun, so sorry.

I can only transfer what happened to you to him.

Actually, you know older sister better than she knows herself.

Can you say it more clearly?

You even know that she only drinks lukewarm water.

There are a lot of things that you can make just right for her.

You know that she can't drink wine but loves to join in the fun.

That's why, you made grape wine desserts to satisfy her curiosity.

Actually, the most important point among everything

is that in the past, you will immediately appear as long as older sister needs you.

You never disappointed her.

So I was that kind of person before.

Xiao Mei, I will remember everything that you have said.

For Xiao Cai, I must work harder to be a better person.

Xiao Mei,

your story making abilities are way better than mine.

Not really. Not really.

You made the story of Older Bro Ying Jun as Yuan Shuai's.

Don't think I don't know.

Then Older Sister, what else can I do?

Do you want me to tell him that we lied to him?

What? Older Sister, you're feeling sorry for him now?

What are you saying?

I just feel that by doing that, we are wronging Older Bro Ying Jun.

Older Bro Ying Jun has already been–

He hasn't come back for so long already.
