Elevator Dimension Line

the next day,

In a private room decorated in an antique style in the luxurious restaurant of the Divine Domain Hotel,

Tantai Ye Hexing was wearing a classical kimono and was welcoming all the friends who had come. They were all his good friends when he was trapped in the game together.

Today is the day when Tan Tai Ye He Xing specially entertains her friends in the form of a wedding banquet.

Every friend present was dressed in their best and brought gifts to the newlyweds. Although Tan Tai Ye and the others were already an old couple, to these people, the two had basically not changed and still looked the same as they did back then, which made them envious and curious.

"Come on, thank you all for taking the time out to attend this simple banquet today. We are all friends, so there is no need to be polite to each other. Let's just relax today." Tan Tai Ye raised his glass and said.

"Blessings to the newlyweds..."

"You are no longer newlyweds. I wish you happiness..."

"happiness……"

"..."

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. Although they hadn't seen each other for some time, they were still very familiar with each other and there was no sense of strangeness.

Suguha, who was sitting next to Kirito, looked at the two of them with envy, and even Asuna did the same. It could be said that there was not a single woman present who did not envy Sachi.

"By the way, Kirito, what's going on between you and Asuna? You two should be talking about marriage, right? Why is there no movement at all?"

Tan Tai Ye's sudden words made the scene quiet, and everyone looked at the two curiously. In the game, the two of them were on the front line together. In the eyes of outsiders, they were often seen together, and they seemed to have a good impression of each other. In their opinion, the two of them would definitely be together in the future, but they didn't expect that after so many years, the two of them seemed to have no movement at all.

Could it be that the two of them...

Kirito and Asuna were also a little embarrassed at this time, but Asuna put down her wine glass, smoothed her hair, and forced a smile and said, "I'm too busy at work. How can I have time to think about these things? You are my big boss, don't you know how busy your company is?"

Everyone knows that Asuna is currently working for a company under the Divine Realm, but apparently no one believes what she says. Even if she is busy, she shouldn’t have no time to fall in love and get married!

"Are you really that busy?" Tan Tai Ye looked at Xing who was standing beside him. "Do all the companies under your umbrella exploit their employees like this? Should I talk to Yuuki Shozo about this?"

Fortunately, he knew that Tan Tai Ye was joking on purpose, so he looked at Asuna while holding back his laughter.

Asuna blushed slightly and said hurriedly, "You go find my father. He is only responsible for channel sales. I am responsible for production."

"Okay," Tan Tai Ye also realized that it was not Asuna's fault, but Kirito's. This guy was a bit indecisive. If he guessed correctly, it must be that Asuna's status has risen, and he just opened a small studio, which made him feel inferior, and the fact is indeed so.

Tan Tai Ye didn't say anything else, but changed the subject, and the atmosphere became lively again...

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone became more relaxed. The women chatted with each other, and the men competed in drinking.

Tan Tai Ye held the wine glass and sat on the tatami next to Kirito, and clinked glasses with him.

Then he put his arm around his shoulders and said, "As a man, don't be timid no matter what you do."

Kirito didn't understand what Tan Tai Ye suddenly said at first, but when the latter pointed at Asuna who was talking to Lisbeth, Kirito understood and silently lowered his head to look at the wine glass in his hand.

Tan Tai Ye patted him on the shoulder. "No matter what the final outcome will be, good or bad, as long as you work hard and face it bravely, even if the result is not good, you will have a clear conscience. At least you won't regret it many years later... Besides, if you don't express your feelings, how do you know what the other person's attitude is? Don't worry about your status. Asuna is not the kind of person who cares about her status, so don't always be sad in your own world. Express it. Maybe the result is not what you think."

"Are you talking about sister Suguha?"

Tan Tai Ye suddenly turned around and said to Kiritani Naoba who was eavesdropping on the side.

"Ah! Um! Oh! What are you talking about?" Kiritani Suguha pretended to be calm.

Tan Tai Ye stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on Zhi Ye's cheek, gently pulling it, and then touched her forehead with his finger.

"You naughty boy, you look introverted and quiet, but it turns out you are restless and can even lie! I punish you by making you pour me some wine!"

Tan Tai Ye put the wine glass on the table, Zhi Ye rubbed his red face, then picked up the wine pot to pour the wine, but it took a long time to pour it out. He shook it and found that the wine was already empty.

There were waiters at the door just now, and they could have been asked to add more wine, but Tan Tai Ye felt that these people could not relax with outsiders present, so he drove all the waiters out.

Kiritani Suguha had no choice but to take the wine jug and go out to ask the waiter to add more wine.

Kirito was still immersed in what Tan Tai Ye had just said. The lively atmosphere around him did not affect him.

Xing walked up to Tan Tai Ye, tidied up his somewhat messy kimono, and was about to speak when there was a clang from outside the door and the sound of a copper wine pot falling to the ground, followed by a "Baka" and an exclamation.

Tan Tai Ye frowned and recognized the voice as that of Kiritani Suoha, but the voice just now was not loud and the noisy crowd did not hear it.

"I'll go take a look." Tan Tai Ye held down Xing who was about to get up and walked out.

As soon as he came out of the private room, he saw two men standing in front of Kiritani Suguha in the corridor not far outside. A wine jug fell on the ground at his feet, and Suguha was hiding from the two men with his face covered as if he was a little scared.

"What's going on?" Tan Tai Ye walked up and asked in a deep voice.

When Zhiye saw Tantai Ye, he quickly pulled his clothes and hid behind him.

Tan Tai Ye patted her little hands, "Don't be afraid, did they bully you?"

"Baga! Where did you come from? What do you want here? Get out of the way! I want to teach this ungrateful woman a lesson."

The man in branded clothes reeked of alcohol as soon as he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he had been drinking a lot.

"I don't know him, but he insisted on dragging me out for a drink," Suguha said cautiously.

Tan Tai Ye turned his head and saw a slap mark on Zhi Ye's face, then frowned.

"He also took action?"

"No, it's okay," Suguha quickly covered it with her little hand.

"Asshole, I'm talking to you, look at me," the man saw that Tan Tai Ye ignored him and reached out to grab his collar.

Tan Tai Ye raised his hand and with a click, although he didn't use much force, the man's forearm was broken directly.

"Ah!" The man covered his arm and took a few steps back. The severe pain sobered him up a little.

"You broke my hand, you bastard,"

The young man with glasses beside the man hurriedly supported the man and said angrily to Tan Tai Ye: "You hurt our young master. You did it on purpose. We are going to sue you."

"Call me and have someone arrest him. I want him to go to jail." the man with the broken arm shouted.
