Two hours later, Furina and Xavier appeared at the police station.
Besides them, there were also the thieves who Xavier had beaten to a pulp.
Soon after, a Hat Uncle walked over and shook Xavier's hand.
"Young comrade, I'm truly grateful to you. These guys are local repeat offenders; not only do they frequently steal, but they always cause us trouble."
Xavier waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, these are just things a citizen should do."
The Hat Uncle nodded with great satisfaction. He thought how wonderful it would be if there were more young people like Xavier in society who were both aware and capable.
Leaving the police station, Xavier felt a great deal of emotion.
He hadn't expected to accidentally catch a gang of thieves.
It was just that these thieves weren't smart at all.
"Hey, Xavier, you did a good deed, but we've wasted so much time again. Let's see when you'll finally reach your friend's place!"
Seeing that Xavier seemed a bit happy, Furina unceremoniously poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Xavier's straight back immediately slumped. Having wasted so much time, his progress didn't seem to have increased at all.
Just as Xavier was sighing, the Hat Uncle actually caught up to him.
"Little brother, I see that you two don't seem to be from around here, and I haven't seen you use a phone the entire time. Did you encounter some difficulties?"
Xavier was incredibly moved. He hadn't expected the Hat Uncle's observation skills to be so meticulous.
So Xavier told the Hat Uncle all about his unlucky encounters along the way, and even though the Hat Uncle had seen countless people, he couldn't help but laugh and cry after hearing it.
"I didn't expect you two to be so unlucky. If you don't mind, I can apply to drive you over tomorrow morning."
Xavier's eyes lit up: "Really? It won't delay your work, will it?"
The Hat Uncle reassured him: "Don't worry, you helped us solve this case, so helping you with this small favor is part of our duty."
"You two get a good rest tonight, and just come find us tomorrow!"
Xavier hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"I told you, doing good deeds always brings good rewards."
Xavier let out a long sigh. This world truly was so ingenious; sometimes, what you do without intending to, turns out to be exactly what you need.
"Alright, then you find a place to sleep, I'm going back first!"
Furina waved her hand and chose to disappear in an unpopulated area.
The next morning, Xavier, who had randomly found a place to pitch a tent, was woken up by Furina again.
"Hey, why are you sleeping by the roadside? Get up quickly!"
Xavier rubbed his eyes, packed up his tent, and said, "I only have a few dozen yuan left, so of course, I can only sleep in a tent."
"Then can't you find a small inn? Honestly!" Furina had a 'you're so unthoughtful' expression.
Xavier said faintly, "I'm afraid something unexpected might happen on the road again, so these few dozen yuan need to be kept for emergencies."
Furina didn't want to argue, but thinking about the encounters along the way, she really couldn't refute him.
Having encountered so many frustrating things along the way, being cautious was indeed not wrong.
However, thanks to the Hat Uncle's kind escort, Xavier and Furina finally didn't encounter any more frustrating things.
The journey of over 100 kilometers was completed in less than half a day.
"Thank you, goodbye!"
Furina and Xavier waved goodbye to the Hat Uncle.
"Ha~"
Looking at the quaint town before him, Xavier took a deep breath. He had never felt the air smell so sweet.
"This is great, we're finally here!" Furina was also incredibly happy.
And the wedding just so happened to be today, which was a blessing in disguise.
Following the address Chen Jun had given him, Xavier arrived at the wedding venue.
He found that the place was already packed with guests and incredibly lively.
Chen Jun's wedding was a traditional Chinese wedding, which looked so harmonious in this ancient town.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Chen Jun was greeting the arriving guests.
"Xavier, you're finally here! I couldn't get through to your phone!"
Chen Jun was very happy to see Xavier.
Xavier smiled and said, "I accidentally left my phone at home."
This surprised Chen Jun, who asked, "Then how did you get here?"
Xavier couldn't help but give a bitter smile and briefly recounted his experiences along the way, which made Chen Jun's eyes widen.
"I can't believe you suffered so much just to attend my wedding. You're truly my good brother."
Chen Jun spoke with a hint of teasing.
Perhaps that's what old friends are like; even after so long, their conversations are still as casual as before.
"Oh, and this is..."
Chen Jun finally noticed Furina, who had been looking around.
"This is my friend. She said she wanted to come to the wedding with me and join in the fun," Xavier said truthfully.
When Chen Jun saw her face, he couldn't help but be stunned, because Furina was truly too beautiful.
So he immediately pulled Xavier aside and said with a serious face, "Xavier, tell me the truth, did you hit the jackpot? This isn't your girlfriend, is it?"
Xavier's face immediately turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about? I already said she's a friend."
"Alright, friend it is. Hurry up and go inside and sit down."
"Okay, by the way, Chen Jun, I forgot to tell you something, I might not be able to give you a wedding gift."
"What wedding gift? Your presence is enough."
"But there's something else, can you lend me some money to buy a phone first?"
"Damn it, you little rascal, you're turning things upside down! I'm getting married and you're asking me for money, huh!"
"Don't be angry yet, I brought you a gift! Furina, send out the Slime!"
The two of them laughed and cursed as they entered the restaurant.
Sitting in her seat, Furina was still looking around and asking questions.
"Xavier, what is that?"
"And this one, it looks so strange."
"Oh right, and that thing."
Xavier's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he finally couldn't help but say, "That's the emcee's equipment!"
"How boring. I thought getting married on Blue Star would be a lot of fun, but I didn't expect it to just be sitting here motionless."
Furina rested her chin on her hand and pouted.
What's the rush? The main event hasn't even started yet.
No sooner had Xavier spoken than the emcee walked onto the stage, and the wedding officially entered its exciting part.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the wedding of groom Chen Jun and bride Deng Wei!"
"First of all..."
The emcee first gave a procedural speech, and then came to the exciting vows segment.
"Please welcome the bride!"
After this sentence fell, all the lights in the venue went out, leaving only a spotlight shining towards the main entrance.
The main entrance slowly opened, and a white-haired old man, holding the elegantly dressed bride, slowly walked towards the center of the stage.
At this moment, the music also changed to a soothing melody with a hint of sadness.
"Waaah, this is so touching, Xavier! Is this what marriage is like!"
Even though the emcee hadn't even started to set the atmosphere, Furina actually started crying.
Xavier found it amusing in his heart, wondering if she would cry even more sadly later.
