Chapter 58: Adulthood
"What's the matter with me? Do you want to invite me here? Lu Mingfei didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He always felt that Qilan didn't really let himself be the president, but ...... Use your fame to establish yourself in the Freshman Association at the Kassel Academy...... Uh, but this is also a joke, what kind of fame can he Lu Mingfei have, at most he is lucky.
Seeing that he didn't want to delay any longer, Qilan waved his hand to signal the waiters who had just served the wine glasses to retreat, and then smiled lightly: "Actually, it's nothing, tonight's protagonist is already destined to be you, so ...... You need to prepare it beforehand. ”
"I don't want to be the main character, but you mean ......," Mr. Lu said.
"You don't have to wait in the hall so early, you can be on the stage when the ball officially opens." "That is, you are the master of the ball, and you will not appear until the end." ”
Lu Mingfei's brows moved, he was still a little reluctant: "But...... I didn't want to be the center of attention, but we said you were the master, and I just came...... cameo. ”
Qilan smiled and said, "You don't have to excuse yourself, since you are the president of the freshman sorority, then you must be the master of this ball, if the master does not make a grand appearance, the aura will be very low, and this is not good for the freshman sorority......"
He paused, glanced at Lu Mingfei meaningfully, and continued: "On the other hand, if you appear as the master, it can increase your prestige, and it will also be a good opportunity for our freshman sorority. You can think about it. ”
Qi Lan looked at Lu Mingfei, and after speaking, he stopped talking.
After listening to his words, Lu Mingfei's heart sank, and then he thought of something. If he said that he was the master of the ball, it would not only increase the momentum of the freshman association, but also make Caesar and Chu Zihang think that they were officially the president of the freshman association, and at the same time said that they would quit the student union. He hadn't made his position clear before, and he had only temporarily agreed to Chilan for the sake of perfunctory, but now once he made a grand appearance at the ball, it proved that he had chosen the freshman party!
"This ...... This Qilan is so scheming, and he actually lured me in like this, and I was still complacent and thought I had found the right person...... What can I do now, I don't want to get involved in the competition between the three clubs. Lu Mingfei shouted depressedly in his heart, and his face couldn't help showing any expression.
Quitting the student union will make Nuo Nuo unhappy, because it was Nuo Nuo who invited him to join the group without authorization, and now he wants to become the president of the freshman association, which will make Nuo Nuo lose face...... But if he refuses Qilan, how can he hold his face, it is the ball he asked Qilan to set up, but Qilan uses himself to get up, if he refuses, he will mess up the ball......
Lu Mingfei was very entangled in his heart, he secretly scolded Qilan for being inhumane, and he borrowed the Norton Pavilion for the freshman sorority to use, but they still used him.
Just as he was struggling and didn't know how to reply, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and all the chaos was cleared in an instant.
When she invited Nuo Nuo, she had already indicated that she was inviting her on behalf of the Freshman Association, and Nuo Nuo must have known that she had joined the Freshman Association, but at that time she didn't seem to show any displeasure and anger, that is, ...... She wasn't upset about it!
Although Lu Mingfei didn't fully understand Nuo Nuo's mind, he had no choice but to agree in this situation, and he came up with a bad reason to comfort himself: "Nuo Nuo is such a good person, so she won't get involved in the disputes of these societies, and she will understand the ...... of my situation."
As long as Nuo Nuo doesn't care, then he Lu Mingfei has nothing to be afraid of! When this president can still enjoy, although there will be some trouble, but it is nothing, so he figured it out, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind.
"Well, I agree to come forward in the name of the master." Lu Mingfei said this.
At this time, the melodious overture has just played, and this dance party has just begun.
Lu Mingfei's appearance made the audience silent, the music stopped for a moment, and the guests also put down their hands that were clasped together.
Dressed in a silver suit, he stood above everyone, and there was no expression of cowardice and embarrassment on his face. According to Chilan's instructions, he made a grand appearance when the dance music was playing, and stood on the stage with a calm gaze and a smile on his lips. Such an expression made Lu Mingfei very uncomfortable, but he still pretended to be presentable.
Although the eyes of the audience were looking at him, Lu Mingfei obviously felt a cold gaze that was different from ordinary people, he tried his best to keep his demeanor unchanged, and the corner of his eyes swept to Zero Standing on the right side of the dance floor, and the cold eyes made him shudder in his heart.
"Turns out she's found a dance partner." Lu Mingfei's heart immediately hung again. At this time, he finally remembered that he had promised Zero before, and thought that he and Nuno were getting better, and he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat break out. No matter which one of these two sides refuses, Lu Mingfei will die a miserable death...... Besides, he didn't want to hurt Little Lori's heart, and he didn't want his senior sister to lose face.
However, he is facing this problem now, and he can't make a choice at the moment, so he keeps standing in place, maintaining his original expression and posture, and doesn't want to step down.
Qilan frowned at Lu Mingfei's appearance, secretly wondering why this would not be able to come down. According to the original discussion, after Lu Mingfei appeared and attracted the attention of the guests, he immediately stepped off the stage and came to the dance floor, where Qilan walked over to introduce everyone present, and announced that Lu Mingfei would become the president of the freshman association. In this way, the effect of the plan can be achieved, and all the efforts will be worth it, but at this time, the waste wood is stunned.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Mingfei had been standing motionless on the stage for two minutes, and the guests below all looked up at this place, and they also began to wonder in their hearts. Now Lu Mingfei looks like a statue, and the silver suit reflects the color of the light, drawing everyone's attention.
The scene was so silent that the band stopped playing, and all eyes were on him, even the sound of Fingal's drinking in the corner was gone.
"Ahem," finally it was Qi Lan who broke the silence, he walked over, waved his hand seemingly casually, and motioned for Lu Mingfei to come over.
According to the usual Lu Mingfei before, he must have been able to understand this gesture, but now that his mind is at war between heaven and man, he has no time to care about anything else.
Qilan coughed a few times under the gaze of so many people, but Lu Mingfei was still unmoved, he couldn't help but feel anxious, coughed heavily again, and then immediately looked at everyone with a smile.
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was shocked, came back to his senses, the smile on his face disappeared, and he hurriedly walked down from the upper floor, and quickly came to Qilan's side.
At this moment, everyone came to their senses, and they all understood that Qilan's cough was signaling Lu Ming to fly down, and everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts, with a strange expression on their faces. Lu Mingfei was rare to dazzle, but he still had to be in a daze in front of everyone.
Qi Lan glanced at him meaningfully, then turned his head to face everyone, and smiled: "This is the brightest star among this freshmen, I believe that the guests present will not know him." He is the recipient of the crown of a day of freedom; He is the genius who unlocked the code of the Bronze City map; He is the only S-level student in the academy - Lu Mingfei! ”
Qilan's voice gradually raised when he said this, and when the whole audience heard these deeds of Lu Mingfei, they also dispelled the ridicule of him in their hearts. Indeed, although Lu Mingfei is widely spread in the academy, although many people say that he is a waste wood that has no resonance with Long Wen, but every one of these deeds is true, and it was all done by this dazzling nerd in front of him, and no one will laugh at him anymore because of these things.
"Today, Lu Mingfei, the idol of our freshmen, is addressing everyone as the host of this year's ball!" Qilan said loudly, then took the lead in clapping. Everyone looked at each other, and many people applauded.
Lu Mingfei lightly grabbed himself, forcing himself not to pay attention to the eyes of those people, he raised his head again, tried to return to his serious demeanor, and said a short line arranged by Qi Lan in advance: "Today I am honored to be able to speak as the host in the Norton Pavilion, and I, Lu Mingfei, am honored to obtain the right to use the Norton Pavilion and become the host of this ball." What I want to say here is that at your request, I will officially become the president of the Freshman Sorority and will make the Norton Pavilion a hall for the Freshman Sorority for the next year! ”
This speech was prepared by Qi Lan, and it was not a long sentence, and it took Lu Mingfei a while to memorize it by rote, so there was no mistake when he read it. However, the expression is still a little incongruous, after all, he has never experienced such a scene, and he has never pretended to have such an expression, so it is inevitable that he will be unstable under the gaze of so many people.
Although his voice was not loud, the audience could still hear it when he raised his voice. The guests were a little boiling after hearing this, they had also heard about Lu Mingfei as the president of the freshman association, but they were not sure, and now Lu Mingfei came forward as the president at this ball, which made his position clear that he was opposed to Caesar and Chu Zihang. It's bound to make headlines tonight, and a lewd man hides in a corner to witness it.
"Okay, I announce, the ball continues!" Kiran shouted and clapped his hands as he exited the dance floor. The band began to play the overture again, and the melodious music echoed through the hall again. All the guests came back to their senses, withdrew their gaze from Lu Mingfei, and began to salute their respective dance partners.
Qilan glanced at Lu Mingfei outside the dance floor, and Lu Mingfei nodded and stepped onto the dance floor. He had just seen a gentlemanly boy standing next to Zero, so he chose Nono's side, but he was determined to die. "It's all death anyway, I might as well dance with the person I like, although she doesn't like me, but I can be satisfied once." Lu Mingfei laughed at himself in his heart.
Zero had been watching Lu Mingfei from a distance, and when she saw that he had really walked towards that senior sister, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip. Although Zero is a cold iceberg girl on the outside, the other side of her heart still has the heart of a little Lori, and now she is a little angry.
The RB boy on the side, Yamazaki Ieshuo, couldn't see it, and stretched out his hand to take it back. Zero glanced at him coldly, which made his heart tingle, and he subconsciously retracted it.
"You were so imposing just now." Nuno smiled and said to Lu Mingfei, who came over.
Lu Mingfei laughed bitterly at himself, scratching his head, not knowing what to say. He didn't see any unhappy expression in Nono's eyes, which also proved that he had made the right choice, and Nono didn't feel anything about it at all.
Lu Mingfei raised his eyes to look at Nuo Nuo, was silent for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "At this time, should I take your hand......
"What do you say?" Nono looked at him with a smirk.
Lu Mingfei let out a vague "oh", then stretched out his hand and put it in front of her. The silver Patek Philippe was revealed on the sleeve, although it was only a temporary piece for Chelan to wear, but he still had a sense of accomplishment, so that dancing with Nono would not look shabby.
Instead of putting her hand on it, Nono said, "At this time, you should go and sign her hand, not mine." Her tone was a little serious.
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei followed Nuo Nuo's gaze and looked at Zero standing on the right side of the dance floor, Zero was also looking at himself, his eyes were so cold that people trembled. Lu Mingfei didn't feel like Nuo Nuo was joking, so he lowered his head and said, "But senior sister, I also promised you, if I go over, then you ......"
"Hehe, don't worry about me, do you still think that your senior sister will not find a dance partner? You promised her before, right? If you can't fulfill the contract, it will make others very shameful and not good for you. Nono smiled, but in a solemn tone.
Lu Mingfei didn't expect Nuo Nuo to say this, he raised his head and looked at Nuo Nuo's gaze, "Senior sister, do you mean it really?" ”
"Of course, you go quickly, don't make the girl wait too long, and act like a gentleman." Nuo Nuo's smile was very beautiful, and the four-leaf clover silver pendant in his ear refracted white light, which made Lu Mingfei feel a little shining, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable touch.
"Hmm!" Lu Mingfei replied heavily, he took a deep breath, glanced at Nuo Nuo, turned around and walked towards Zero. At this moment, it was the first time for him to face such a solemn decision, with his chest held high and his steps steady.
The music is high, the melody is elevated, the overture ends, and the formal dance melody flows.
