Chapter 57: The Dance Party (Part II)
After hearing the footsteps, everyone's eyes were attracted to Nono's gorgeous dance costume, but she still came to the sofa and sat down, and talked to the waiter next to her, who later brought her a glass of red wine.
"Alas, alas, junior brother, the heroines are all on the stage, and the ball is about to start, why haven't you shown up yet......" Fingal muttered to himself, and then lowered his head and took a long sip of orange juice.
"What did you say?" a voice rang in Fingal's ear. He immediately looked over, and Nono sat across from him and asked lightly.
He smiled heavily, and then drank another button of orange juice, which was almost at the bottom after all his tossing.
"What about that junior brother of yours? Why didn't I see him, but he invited me here. Nuno took a small sip and said as if no one was around.
Fingal said, "I came with him, and he was asked to leave by the Freshman Guild, saying that he was going to have something, and I don't know much about it anyway......"
Nono glanced at him and let out an indifferent "oh", her face expressionless, and she couldn't see what she was thinking, but it seemed to Fingal that she was a little unhappy, and was embarrassed to say something, when another person came outside the door.
Zero appeared at the door, the Russian blonde girl was wearing a silver evening dress, her skin was white and transparent in the light, and she was wearing transparent crystal shoes that reflected a faint light, like a fairy tale princess walked in with her footsteps.
This petite girl is under everyone's eyes at the moment, but she feels so unignorant, and the chilling feeling she brings makes the originally lively scene calm down suddenly.
The crowd was silent for a while, and then a small voice sounded, and as far as their eyes could see, a person appeared on the second floor landing leading to two curved staircases.
Chelan, an Indian, walked down from it in a silver-gray suit, his handsome face with a healthy complexion, dark curly hair and black and white eyes, appeared as the host of the ball, causing the audience to look sideways.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's ball begins now, so let's have a hearty meal. Chelan's magnetic voice echoed throughout the hall. Everyone stood up, and the waiter came over and led the guests to sit down at the crystal table.
Fingal rubbed his big palms, and that was what he was waiting for, so he walked to the table and sat down without waiting for the waiter to come, and before the others were seated, he waved his knife and fork at the meal.
Kiran walked over slowly, a delicate red flower tucked into the pocket of his suit jacket. Everyone sat down and the meal began.
Everyone was very elegant when eating the Western meal, gently moving the knife and fork, and Fingal was the only one in the audience biting on the foie gras on the right side, and the men only glanced at it out of etiquette and stopped looking at it, while the girls were not eating, but watching the action of the big stomach.
Fingal couldn't care so much, he only had this roast goose in his eyes, and he didn't care about his face or anything.
So, the dinner party went on for a long time under such circumstances, and then ended vigorously.
Fingal picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, smacking his lips with unsatisfied satisfaction, then took a big sip of red wine.
Qilan stood up at this time and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, alright, let's finish our meal, and then it's time for the social dance session, please relax to your heart's content." He snapped his fingers, and the waiters came over to collect the dishes.
All the guests stood up and walked to the dance floor, and Chelan also walked to the edge of the dance floor, clapped his palms, and the band that had already been prepared in the upper right corner of the dance floor began to audition, and the soft music rippled.
The overture echoed softly in the hall, making the scene much more relaxed, and the guests began to choose each other's dance partners. Fingal had already picked up a glass of red wine, quietly gathered in a corner, and sat on the sofa to enjoy the wine.
Lu Mingfei hadn't shown up yet, so Nono stood up and hadn't walked onto the dance floor yet. Not far away, Zero was also looking at the people on the dance floor with an indifferent expression.
In the beautiful overture music, the ball is about to start with a bang.
The light and melodious tango music reverberates through the Norton Pavilion, and the evenings at the Kassel Academy are filled with the smell of music.
The dance party began to the sound of the band, and the girls were all led onto the dance floor by the hands of their dance partners and began to kiss each other's hands.
Nono shrugged her shoulders as if unintentionally, and turned her head to look at Fingal, who was gulping whiskey, and her eyes swept to Zero standing in the other place, and saw that Zero was also looking at herself, and the two of them met in the air for a moment, and then looked away.
"Huh. Nuno laughed softly, she saw a look called "annoyed" from the depths of Zero's gaze, and with her so smart mind, she also thought of this scene, it must be that Lu Mingfei promised herself and also made an appointment with Zero to be her dance partner. This junior brother is always so reckless. Nono is not a person who is overflowing, so she does not show any displeasure.
Under the crystal chandelier, the guests are holding hands and bending down, and everyone is ready to spin and dance the moment the tune rises, but outside the dance floor, the two dazzling girls who were the attention of the audience a moment ago seem to be a little left out standing there.
There were also boys who wanted to pluck up the courage to invite them, but they didn't want to be numb by Zero's cold gaze and Nono's somewhat dark smile, so they gave up this idea.
"Yamazaki Ieshuo. Dear Miss, I would like to invite you to be my dance partner, I wonder if I have such an honor?" A handsome RB boy in an Armani suit gracefully stepped out of the dance floor, came to Zero, bent down gently, made a salute, and then stretched out his hand, he looked at Zero with his eyes, hoping that she would agree.
For the first time this time, Zero did not look at each other coldly, but froze, and then smiled lightly in return, and put his white hand on Yamazaki Ieshuo's hand, "Very happy." She rarely smiled, but this time she smiled sweetly at the boys she hated the most.
With a hint of joy on his face, Yamazaki took Zero's hand and walked onto the dance floor, his black Armani designer suit matched Zero's silver evening gown.
At this moment, only Nono stood alone outside the circle, but the smile on her face was still there. No one knew what she was thinking, a girl was left out in the cold, and the agreed dance partner did not show up, making her the only lonely woman in the audience, and she still had a smile on her face, which may be silently sad.
The melodious sound of the piano echoes through the hall, the sound gradually rises to the top, the overture is about to end, and the formal sonata begins after the epilogue stirring.
"Smack!"
A not-so-big switch sounded, the music stopped at this moment, and the audience fell silent, and a light was turned on above the second-floor platform, illuminating the dance floor below like neon, and a figure appeared on the platform.
The silver-blue Hugo Boss, dressed in a formal attire, stands elegantly above everyone with a peaceful gaze looking down on the dance floor.
Lu Mingfei.

Let's turn the camera back to half an hour ago, at 8:40, before the dance began.
Lu Mingfei followed the waiter into the side door of the Norton Pavilion, and when he looked around, he found that it was a small room that led to the back hall.
"President, the chairman is in the back hall, please. The waiter leaned over and said. Lu Mingfei nodded and walked into the back hall.
The backroom of the Norton Pavilion is well-lit and not as ornate as the front room, but it is also comfortable and pleasant. On the patterned carpet, a soft sofa was placed in the center, and there were several sofas on the left and right sides of the side, and a person sat on the sofa, and Lu Mingfei recognized it as Qilan.
When Qilan saw Lu Mingfei, he stood up with a smile on his face, "President, you are here, please take a seat." After speaking, he took Lu Mingfei to the sofa and sat down.
