"So Xia Lu, don't hold your arms so tightly." Han Lan, who was dressed in a tunic black suit, was a little distressed, not only because the newly bought suit was a little tight, but also because of the girl who was hanging tightly on her arm, her sister-in-law, Xia Lu. She was dressed in a sky-blue evening gown, with silver butterflies perched in her hair.

There are many legends in the White Emperor Academy, not legends full of science fiction and conspiracy theories such as "Freemasonry secretly manipulating the New World", "Philadelphia time and space jumping experiment", "Area 51", etc., nor are there grand backgrounds such as New Age and Doomsday Theory.

Most of them are just rumors about some unusual people.

It's just that rumors say that once you have a tail fin, you will be rumored to be fatter than a fish. Once this nature is taken into account, the process of the formation of these legends is self-evident.

To put it simply, there is no basis for it.

To put it more bluntly, most of them are made up.

For example, the security captain who was rumored to be a former agent of the Jackie Chan Group, and the director of the Political and Religious Affairs Department, who was considered a former political prisoner. Although the two of them do look at each other unpleasantly.

And the rumors about Han Lan focused on his righteous sister of unknown origin. Although whoever pulls a foreign girl to report on it in the first month of school will be eye-catching.

The princess of Northern Europe, the nobleman of Britannia, the celebrity of the Silver Eagle Federation, all kinds of speculations were irresponsibly placed on Xia Lu by a group of guys who had nothing to do all day.

came forward to refute the rumors was another guy who had nothing to do, he actually found Xia Lu's nationality by looking up the entry and exit records, and personally traveled to France to find Xia Lu's past home.

But thanks to this guy, the death of Xia Lu's parents has attracted a lot of sympathy and more irresponsible speculation. So Han Lan didn't spend much time at school, so it wasn't affected.

Just feeling the gaze gathered around her like a spotlight, Han Lan couldn't help but regret that she had recklessly brought Xia Lu to school.

"Please feel my distress, brother." Xia Lu said in a sweet voice with a little devilish smile.

Han Lan could only smile bitterly, he knew that Xia Lu was complaining that he often left himself alone in the country, but for Han Lan, who often went abroad, being alone most of the time was also a last resort, and he didn't want to involve Xia Lu in too many things, even if he learned that Xia Lu seemed to have learned something amazing.

But fortunately, there were not many guests at the birthday party, because the bodyguards of the Su family's private house effectively stopped those sons who did not have invitations but wanted to break in, according to Su Musha, she has two birthdays every year, the birthday of the lunar calendar is an official birthday, which will be celebrated within the family, and the birthday of the solar calendar belongs to her own jurisdiction and celebrates with friends.

However, according to the grapevine, this is the first time she has celebrated her birthday on the solar calendar.

Although there are not many people who come, Han Lan knows even less, after all, he is not in school most of the time, and he doesn't want to consume brain cells to remember some people who have no intersection with him.

"Liu Xichen, you're here too." In a corner, Han Lan finally found someone who was cutting a steak.

Raise your head, lower your head and continue to fight with the steak. He cut slowly and methodically, and has a kind of famous posture, perhaps because of his elegant posture, even if he treats people indifferently to the level of the Antarctic continent, there are still many girls willing to surround him, and some people in this world are pleasing to the eye even if they just look at it.

"You're not going to eat until the banquet is over, are you?" Han Lan continued to ask.

"Maybe, I don't like to dance." replied lightly, "You actually brought your sister here, fortunately it is not your own." ”

"It's because she's a righteous sister that she has caused so many topics, there are a bunch of annoying flies circling around her, and a bunch of psychologically dark people guessing when I will turn my righteous sister into a wife."

"Oh." His indifferent posture was like watching a boring drama.

"Rest your mouth and save some face for Su Mu, after all, we were invited by her." Han Lan whispered.

Liu Xichen looked Han Lan up and down with indifferent eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't imagine that lawless you would say such words to restrain others," Liu Xichen put away his knife and fork, "Do you want to dance?" ”

"Excuse me." Han Lan took a step back, if she really wanted to do this, there wouldn't be any strange remarks coming out of the school tomorrow, such as someone following the impulse of her heart to find true love...... Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

At this moment, there was an exclamation in the dance hall, and the protagonist of the ball, Su Musha, appeared.

She was already beautiful, but never as beautiful as she is today, and the neoclassical rococo-style skirt made her feel like a moving garden, exuding an intoxicating brilliance and fragrance. Her fluffy curls snuggled obediently on her head and shoulders, her brows were like flowers under the plain light makeup, she leaned against the railing of the second floor, and the princess crown made of white gold made her so luxurious.

"Stunned?" Xia Lu, who didn't know when it came, poked Han Lan with her finger.

"No, just a little surprised." Han Lan couldn't take her eyes off it, "She's dressed too formally, and the prom seems to be too formal." ”

"It's just the habit of the wealthy." Xia Lu said disdainfully, it could be seen that she was a little tired of the so-called wealthy family.

"Not really." Liu Xichen rarely took the initiative to say, "When something sad is coming, some people choose to resist, and some people prefer to carnival before it comes." ”

"Something is coming." Xia Lu asked.

"She's eighteen." There was a hint of melancholy in Liu Xichen's eyes, "At the age of eighteen, you can already get married." ”

"His family will choose a good husband for her." Han Lan received.

"Even if she doesn't like it?" Xia Lu was a little surprised and confused.

"Even if she doesn't like it." Liu Xichen replied affirmatively.

……

"First of all, thank you all for coming to my birthday ball." Her long eyelashes fluttered with excitement.

"Today is my eighteenth birthday." Her bright eyes surveyed the audience, "I'm going to choose someone to be my dance partner." ”

The crowd boiled instantly.

"If I had to choose, most people would be disappointed." With her voice, the crowd calmed down.

"If you draw lots, it will be very troublesome." Her voice grew sharper.

"Let's use the game to decide, 30 seconds of playtime, the ballroom lights out completely, and after 30 seconds, who is in the hand of this fluorescent ball, who is my dance partner today." She pursed the corners of her mouth, "I don't mind how much I dance." "It's like a demon whispering sweetly in your ear.

"It's going to be a big mess in the world." Xia Lu said in a tone that she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
