Chapter 40: Dizziness
Chen Li's words, as if with magic power, made the whole room hold their breath, and everyone could clearly hear their heartbeat.
Everyone's eyes were full of envy, longing, admiration and other emotions, but the focus was on Chen Li, watching him slowly get up and hold the crown with both hands in a gentle posture from the tray.
"Today, let me put it on for you with my own hands. β
Most of the girls present had stars in their eyes, and their eyes slowly moved to the top of Xue Qingyan's head with the "Purple Dream Allure" in Chen Li's hand.
At the same time, in his heart, he silently swapped the positions of himself and Xue Qingyan, and imagined that the person who accepted Chen Li's gift was himself.
Seeing that an exciting moment was coming, he saw Xue Qingyan take two steps back, avoiding Chen Li's "coronation".
The footsteps are a little flustered, the eyes are also dodgy, and the tone of speech is mixed with panic.
Chen ...... Brother Oak, I can't accept this gift. β
The corners of Chen Li's mouth rose slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Why, are you dissatisfied with my gift?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward without letting Xue Qingyan distance himself.
Xue Qingyan waved his hands in front of him: "No...... No, it's just that this gift is too expensive, I ...... I can't take it. β
Chen Li pressed step by step: "With the relationship between our two families, I just think this gift is not valuable enough, Ah Qing, why do you want to see the outside world like this?"
"Since you can't get over this hurdle, then I won't force it, but tonight is your birthday, so you can wear it and return it to me tomorrow, just give me face, okay?"
Xue Qingyan couldn't refuse, so she had to let Chen Li put on a crown for her.
Against the backdrop of the "Purple Dream Allure" shining with dreamy luster, Xue Qingyan's already delicate face looked even more delicate and moving, and it was impeccable.
Even Chen Xiaoqian, who had never been convinced by Xue Qingyan, couldn't help but feel a sense of self-shame at this moment.
No one noticed that the moment the crown made contact with her hair, a faint purple intent flashed under Xue Qingyan's eyes.
After Xue Qingyan put on the crown, he only smiled slightly, then sat down and said no more.
Zhao Yan faintly felt that there was something wrong with this crown.
was about to remind Yang Zhixin, but a familiar voice sounded in her ears again: "Lend me your broken needles and rotten stones!"
I saw that the eldest lady didn't drag the mud and water, and went out of the door.
Missing along with the pigeon's blood red rough stone and Zhao Yan's silver needle, there was also the car key to the wild horse.
Chen Li had already seen Yang Zhixin's movements, and called twice without responding, so he asked Zhao Yan: "What does Miss Yang mean by this?"
Zhao Yan spread his hands: "Maybe go to the bathroom." β
Chen Li said in his heart: "Do you want to get a stone to go to the bathroom?"
His face was silent, he only put his hand in his pocket and blindly pressed a few words with his mobile phone.
"Keep up with her. β
Less than half a minute later, he received a reply from his men.
"Lost it. β
The corners of Chen Li's eyes twitched a few times.
His subordinates are not ordinary simple-minded and well-limbed horses, they are all clever characters.
As a result, I lost it so quickly with a person.
"It seems that this man is not an idle person. Unexpectedly, the Xue family had just offended Ding Yixian, and found such a backer in a blink of an eye. β
At the dinner table, it was a little cold.
After Chen Li's trouble, the gifts of the next few people seemed so insignificant.
Xue Qingyan, who had been elated just now, seemed to be shocked by these excessively expensive gifts, and his words became much less.
The others were even more suppressed by Chen Li's momentum, and Zhu Qixiang, who had been invincible before, was even more like a frosted eggplant, wilting in his seat and not speaking again, only occasionally glancing at Zhao Yan with hatred. Obviously, the residual anger has not subsided, but he does not dare to attack.
Seeing this, Chen Li took over the entire dinner party as a matter of course, in terms of net worth, qualifications, and status, he was the leader in this group of people.
It's just that there is always a stone in his heart that has not fallen.
After another ten minutes, Yang Zhixin came back, holding a simple silver hairpin with a red bean-sized gemstone inlaid on it.
"This is a hairpin specially made for you by the teacher, which matches your headgear better!" she couldn't help but say, went straight to Xue Qingyan, and with a wave of her hand, she pinned the hairpin to Xue Qingyan's bun.
The ruby shimmered with a bewitching firelight, and the crown sent by Chen Li complemented each other.
The trace of purple under Xue Qingyan's eyes gradually faded, and his eyes returned to agility.
"Huh, what's wrong with me, why do you feel a little dizzy?"
Chen Lipi smiled and said, "Maybe I drank too much wine." β
There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but Chen Li's heart was not so calm.
His purple dreams are not just beautiful and intoxicating.
In fact, there is a small Dementor Maze attached to it, which allows the person wearing the crown to gradually lose their minds and eventually become a puppet of the caster.
However, after the ruby hairpin appeared on the top of Xue Qingyan's head, Chen Li was shocked to find that the effectiveness of the Purple Dream Allure City was unexpectedly not one in ten, and it could no longer have any impact on Xue Qingyan!
"Could it be that she went out just now to make this hairpin and crack my spell?" Chen Li quickly thought of a possibility.
It took Chen Li three months to make this tiara.
The effect of Dementorship is too strong, it is easy to directly turn people into idiots, and if the effect is too weak, it will not have the effect it should have.
Just by debugging the power of the formation, Chen Li did no less than ten live experiments before finally achieving satisfactory results.
But Yang Zhixin only glanced at this crown, and in ten minutes, she used a piece of pigeon blood red rough stone, which is recognized as extremely difficult to polish, as a material, to make a hairpin that can resist the effectiveness of Purple Dream Allure.
Chen Li thought that he would never be able to do such a thing.
But he was obviously much more measured than Zhu Qixiang, his face did not fluctuate at all, and he was about to say a few words of soup, but he saw Xue Qingyan suddenly get up and clapped his hands.
There was silence at the table.
"I'm very happy that everyone can come to my birthday party today, but I'm not feeling well now, and I can't continue to play with everyone, this glass of wine, just make amends to you!"
With that, she picked up her glass and drank the blended version of RomanΓ©e-Conti from the glass.
"What's wrong Qingyan, didn't you say that there will be a second half?" Chen Xiaoqian drank some wine, and now she is in the mood, of course she doesn't want Xue Qingyan to break up.
She didn't have to pay a penny anyway.
"I'm so dizzy, I just want to get some sleep right now. Let Brother Oak take you to play. β
Chen Li immediately said: "Then what's the matter, you're not feeling well, of course I'm going to send you home safely." In my heart, your affairs are always the most important. β
Xue Qingyan covered his head with his hands and looked around with his eyes pleading.
It's a pity that others dare to go against Chen Li, either to persuade Xue Qingyan to play for a while, or to persuade her to go with Chen Li.
Zhao Yan saw all of Chen Li's performances in his eyes and was extremely disappointed.
Originally, he thought that Chen Li was a master and was a little interested.
As a result, after eating this meal, Chen Li not only fanned the flames and stirred up trouble, but also secretly made trouble.
In Zhao Yan's words, it is so bad that it has no beauty.
He didn't bother to talk to Chen Li, so he immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "We are neighbors with Miss Xue, so let's send her back by the way." β
