There are a lot of programs at the freshman party, and it can also be seen that the enthusiasm of the old students for the welcome ceremony for the newcomers is ingenious, Wang Xueqi unexpectedly received some flowers, all of which were given by those seniors, so she was very embarrassed that she could only let the peach take it on her behalf.
As the name suggests, a masquerade is a dance party where everyone can't recognize each other with a mask, but in fact, it may not be nice to give each other a little mystery and leave illusions.
After Wang Xueqi and Peach went to participate, she found out why Peach was so attentive to ask her to go to the ball, it turned out that this guy made a bet with others, and someone wanted Wensheng to participate in the top ten school flowers, and Wang Xueqi, who is currently recognized as one of the top contenders for the school flowers, everyone wanted to get to know each other, so they encouraged Peach to invite Wang Xueqi over.
Wang Xueqi is wearing a feather mask embellished with silver colored diamonds and a graceful purple bandeau dress with a pair of boots, which looks particularly playful. She learned the secret after two male classmates discussed, and glared at Peaches angrily.
Peaches laughed embarrassedly: "They look down on me, so I invited you out and told those school flower troupes that my sisters are much more beautiful than them." β
Seeing that Wang Xueqi still didn't let go of her eyes, Taozi hurriedly pulled her wrist and begged to detour: "It's a big deal, I'll wash the clothes of the two of us for a week." β
Wang Xueqi told her about the conditions: "Including shorts." β
Momoko gave her a blank look: "Don't you?"
"Huh?" Wang Xueqi raised her eyebrows.
"Okay, I'll wash them all. Momoko compromised.
After the two finished speaking, a male classmate with a mask came over and stretched out his hand to Wang Xueqi and Peaches to ask for a dance. Peaches happily accepted and was taken away, but Wang Xueqi hesitated for a moment and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." β
She didn't accept that she danced with a stranger for the first time in her life. Wang Xueqi quickly ran to the bathroom, she took off her mask and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling so ridiculous, she actually came to participate in such a dance.
At this time, she suddenly saw a man behind her pulling a woman into the mirror, Wang Xueqi felt that the figure was very familiar, she quickly turned around and followed, but saw a scene she shouldn't have seen in a small public place, that she didn't know whether she was in love or admiration Brother Ming Jun was actually intimate with the woman who gave him flowers before in the corner, the two had taken off their masks, so Wang Xueqi saw it in her eyes, she didn't know what kind of mood she was in at the moment, but when she noticed that Ming Jun seemed to be aware and turned his head, Wang Xueqi quickly put the mask on and Ming Jun couldn't recognize herγ
Wang Xueqi fled away from the dirty corner, and she didn't know why she felt a little unacceptable, and collided with a masked man at the door of the bathroom.
Su Chen didn't notice which woman was wearing him, but when the two passed shoulders, he sensitively smelled a little perfume that made him remember, this smell he still remembered, it should be a faint fragrance emitted when he and Wang Xueqi met and talked for the first time.
Subconsciously, Su Chen reached out and wrapped his hand around Wang Xueqi's waist to prevent her from falling.
"Are you okay?" asked Su Chen with concern, because he was also wearing a mask, so Wang Xueqi didn't recognize him.
Wang Xueqi didn't speak to him, but Su Chen could still guess from her red eyes that she had obviously cried. Seeing Wang Xueqi running away, Su Chen looked at her back in a complicated way.
Peach had finished dancing, and found Wang Xueqi at a table of champagne and fruit bar.
"What are you doing, sullen?" asked Momoko, jumping up to her cheerfully.
Wang Xueqi drank juice for a while, shaking her head like a dead vegetative person.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wang Xueqi still shook her head.
"Won't no one ask you to dance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a mask stretched out his hand and handed it to Wang Xueqi, Wang Xueqi raised his eyes and saw the owner of this hand, if she hadn't seen the scene just now, maybe she would simply hand her hand over as if it was handed over to the groom's official, but she could see from the mask that the man was wearing and his clothes that he was Mingjun.
Wang Xueqi hesitated.
She looked at Mingjun in a complicated way, seeing that he was so perfect and gentlemanly hidden under his glamorous appearance, but her own hand couldn't hand it to him.
At this time, another pair of hands stretched out and handed it to Wang Xueqi, Wang Xueqi found that it was the person who collided with her in the bathroom, and she chose to hand it over to the second person in this difficult choice.
When she handed it out and walked down the steps, a flash of surprise flashed in Mingjun's eyes, he took off his mask and revealed his appearance and said to Wang Xueqi: "Xueqi, it's me." You don't even give me a phone call when you come to Wensheng? If you don't mind, I'll dance with you on your first dance, right?"
Wang Xueqi was still wearing a mask and turned her face to look at Mingjun and said bitterly: "I know you are Mingjun, I don't think you need to." β
After speaking, she passed over Mingjun, leaving Mingjun standing there with a stunned face, and Peaches was also very puzzled by Wang Xueqi's actions, but she still couldn't help but say one more sentence: "She didn't inform you that she wanted to surprise you, but I wondered why she didn't dance with you in the first dance, but I think it's pretty good." β
Su Chen took Wang Xueqi's hand and danced on the dance floor, he saw that Wang Xueqi's slender eyelashes were trembling a little disorderly, and asked tentatively, "Are you afraid?"
Wang Xueqi replied quickly, perhaps wanting to deny: "I didn't." β
"What is it that makes you so sad?" asked Su Chen.
Wang Xueqi raised her head and looked at Su Chen in surprise, Su Chen's eyes were also fixed on her, Wang Xueqi blurted out, "How do you know that I'm in a bad mood?"
"A mask can cover your face, but it can't hide your heart-to-heart eyes. Your eyes tell me that you're in a very low mood right now, and I feel like I'm a failure to invite you to dance, because I didn't make you feel happy in the slightest. β
Wang Xueqi smiled bitterly: "My depression is not seen by people I care about." The first dance of my coming-of-age ceremony was actually given to a strange man I didn't know. β
Su Chen laughed: "We really don't know each other?"
Wang Xueqi stared into his eyes and exclaimed, "Have I seen you somewhere?"
"Do you want me to take off my mask?" said Su Chen.
Wang Xueqi shook her head: "I still don't want to, I don't want to embarrass everyone, thank you for inviting me to dance." β
After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand from Su Chen's big hand, nodded politely at Su Chen apologetically, and then walked out to the door of the dance party without looking back.
As soon as she left, Su Chen took off his mask and watched her silently.
