Met Qingyue

I am quite nervous to attend my own banquet. I am not comfortable with many people around me. Even during my time on Earth, I rarely go outside other than school or home. Never did many guests arrive at my home. To ease my nervousness I went to Little Aunt for a chat.

"Little Che, Why are you here? You should be at the party right now. Come, let's go!"

Even though I'm older than her by one year, she calls me Little Che. It's quite embarrassing. I smile wryly

"Little Aunt, Till now we celebrated our birthdays within our family. But now, Grandpa has invited almost all the important personalities of our city. And I feel nervous to face them. That is why…"

My cute little aunt, understanding my problem chuckles, "Little Che, is that it? Now come on, hold on to my hand. I didn't know my Little Che who looks so tough on the outside is still so childish in the inside. Ara—Ara!"

My face becomes a little red with embarrassment. How is it my fault? I may have my past life memories but I am now technically only a child of 7 years and have any of these experiences so it's still new to me.

My little aunt's little hand holds on to my hand and we go to the room filled with many guests talking to my Grandpa Xiao Lei. My grandpa on seeing that I have arrived introduces me to all the tycoons, his friends, and also fellow people. Somehow, I managed to introduce myself to all of them without making out an awkward situation. Thank the goddess!

I could feel jealous stares coming from my fellow clan members. I am not narcissistic but I feel that my current appearance with good facial features looks a little bit handsome which is the reason many of the tycoons who came to attend my banquet started proposing marriage contracts of their daughters or granddaughter with me to my grandpa. My grandpa did not reveal my current cultivation to any one of them including his close friends.

Never did he boasts regarding me to any of our Clan's members. It can be the so-called simplicity. Nevertheless, I am happy with how my current life is progressing.

In the introductions, I was introduced to Xia Family head Xia Hongyi, Qingyue's father. He came to the banquet along with his children Qingyue and Yuanba. Their appearances are the same as mentioned in the original story but with little bodies. They look cute. Qingyue looks like she is spacing out.

I cannot believe this is the same Qingyue who destroys the Blue Pole Star planet to maintain her title as Moon God Empress. In the original story, Yun Che does all he could to help her ascend in cultivation but she didn't even blink while killing her own family and his loved ones. Even a stone would melt by what Yun Che did. I feel even a mechanical robot would have started having genuine feelings compared to her.

While I was on earth, after reading this part of the story felt devastated and eventually started hating her. I then realized that appearances are not included in the criteria while judging one's nature. The author always described her as the apex of beauty and her betrayal struck my core, it is the cruelest thing in my opinion. I felt like a dagger had been stabbed into my heart.

Anyhow, now it did not happen in this universe. I will do what I can to not let the situation escalate to such extreme points in the future. So I thought of making good friends with her and reached out my hand to greet her with a bow

"Hello, I am Xiao Che, grandson of Xiao Lei, Thank you for coming to the banquet."

After my introduction, she seemed to have come to reality. She looked into my eyes for some time and immediately returned the greeting.

"I-i- am X-x-ia Q-q-ingyue, t-thanks for having me here with you a-and H-happy B-birthday!"

She said in a minute voice which hardly I could hear. Her body looks weak and carries eye bags. It seems her father has brought her here to get some fresh air and also to overcome her trauma of losing her mother. It is understandable.

"Thank you."

I turn to Yuanba and he too did the same greeting. My little aunt and I talked with them for a long time. Feeling bored, I asked for permission from my grandpa to go outside to the courtyard and play with them. My grandpa and their father agreed happily.

Qingyue still kept spacing out. I tried to initiate a conversation with her. And I did my best to ease her pain by telling her some jokes. She gradually opened to me. After that all of us played for a long time, feeling tired we got back to the room.

When we returned back, Grandpa and Mr. Xia are already drunk to the brink. They seemed to have talked and enjoyed themselves during our absence. After bidding farewell, I left the room along with my little aunt to our own rooms and continued to play.

Well, today seems not that bad!
