Chapter 44: The Banquet

"Sure enough, it's very different from what I imagined." In the Ample Pavilion, Lin Nian stood on the side, watching the scene of the crowd, and said with a wry smile.

It's not so much a party as a banquet, everyone walks through the hall with polite masks, slightly raises champagne glasses when they meet, and if they look at each other, they lean close together to chat about recent events or interesting things, the gentlemen have both grace and humor, and the ladies are reserved and elegant, and they are harmonious and orderly under the performance of the cello band.

"Actually, it's not much different, whether it's a banquet or a party, it's all for eating, drinking, and having fun, and the student union's party is okay, do you see that over there?" Mandy walked beside Lin Nian and pointed to the inner part of the clubhouse, where the long tables were lined with Boston lobster, a variety of snacks clustered around the champagne tower, and unlimited Martini and Margarita cocktails on the waiter tray.

"Oh, it seems that there is still some part." Lin Nian couldn't help but feel a lot more excited when he saw this energetic scene.

"The number of lobsters corresponds to the number of people, but there is no limit to the number of diners, I don't think too many people will be interested in those lobsters tonight, but I guess you must be excepted, you probably didn't eat when you look like this, right?" Mandy took a sip of a martini from a passing waiter, leaving a thin lip print on the rim.

"It's because I didn't eat, so I came, and your statement is a bit like saying that I'm a starving ghost reincarnated." Lin Nian corrected the causal relationship: "I haven't reached the point where I am hungry for a day for a buffet, and there are only a handful of people I know who can do this kind of thing, one in high school before, and one in college now." ”

"I know in college, Fingal, but isn't the Shilan High School you attended an aristocratic school?"

"There are some strange things that can happen anywhere, and the Kassel Academy is still an elite academy." Lin Nian blocked Mandy with a word.

"Come and make a bet, no, you won't be able to eat lobster tonight, and you'll probably have to go back to the dorm hungry to pick up Fingal's pizza box and eat the leftovers to fill your stomach." Mandy pursed her mouth.

"Are you betting that I'm going to behave in such a respectful environment? Then you're really pressing the wrong treasure, I used to be famous for KY. Lin Nian glanced at the dining table at most twenty or thirty meters away, this distance he didn't need to run, two or three steps passed.

"Then you can try." Mandy shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently.

Lin Nian glanced at Mandy and found that she was just leaning against the pillar with her hands behind her back and looking at the crystal chandelier and whistling, looking like she was not in a hurry and everything was under control, he didn't know where Mandy's confidence came from, let alone a lobster, even in this environment, he could eat five to start.

So Lin Nian turned around and was about to take the first step, but before he could really step out, he forcibly retracted his legs, because someone was in front of him.

Under the white deep V women's suit is healthy wheat-colored skin, a long linen hair soft shawl falls, and the light blurs the face of a woman full of South Asian style, at this time she is holding a glass of champagne in her hand and looking at Lin Nian in front of her.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Lin Nian paused.

"Is Lin Nian, a freshman transfer? I've admired his name for a long time, and Caesar said that there might be a chance to meet you tonight, and I thought he was joking, but it seems that our presidential candidate is not a person who likes to gossip. The woman raised her glass: "Meet the head of the Sailing Department of the Student Union, Karsha, Lady of Maldives." ”

Lin Nian didn't have any drink in his hand now, when Mandy passed by him and gave him the margarita in his hand, and threw out a good luck look and disappeared into the crowd on the dance floor.

"Lin Nian, new life." Lin Nian could only helplessly raise his wine glass and take a sip.

"Is your girlfriend? It's beautiful, and being able to find such a good girl at the beginning of school shows even more that you are 'S' class. Kartha, the head of the sailing department, flicked her long hair and looked sideways in the direction where Mandy had disappeared.

"No, she's just my senior sister." Lin Nian waved his hand to explain.

"Really?" Karsha glanced at the wine glass in Lin Nian's hand.

Lin Nian also looked down, and immediately noticed that there was still a red lip mark on the mouth of the cup he drank, and after he found this, he wiped off the lip print with a black line on his face: "Misunderstanding, she is a little off the line, and she is usually so arrogant... Is there anything you want me to do? ”

"Looks like you haven't been to many of these banquets." Karsha looked up and down at Lin Nian, who was wearing a school uniform, and shook her head with a smile: "Normally, if someone accostes you, you can't ask others what is going on, but you should talk freely about some topics of interest to both parties, and then smile and nod after the point is reached, and then separate." ”

"It's my first time at this kind of banquet, and I forgot to bring my invitation." Lin Nian shook his head and said, "There are too many people I don't know, but everyone seems to know me, this feeling is very strange." ”

"It's normal, it's not necessary for people destined to sparkle to remember all the gritty names." Kartha bowed: "I can see that you still need time to get used to this, everything is going too fast for you right now, isn't it?" ”

"It's a bit of a dazzling, overwhelming feeling."

"I was going to invite you to join the Sailing Department, because I heard that your family lives on the coast and must have a great affinity for the sea and the waves, and I was going to open with the words: 'Do you like sailing?' , but now after a couple of conversations, I think you'll probably answer that I don't like it. Kartha smiled and said, "Because it seems that I have misunderstood something, there seems to be no metaphor for you to come to the Ann Platinum Pavilion to attend the student council banquet tonight, and you have not yet made up your mind to choose a side." ”

"Is it really important to stand in line? Student Council or Lionheart, do you have to make a choice in this school? Lin Nian glanced at the crowd in the Ample Pavilion and asked.

"It doesn't matter to the average student, but it's crucial for you, and maybe you haven't understood what the 'S' level means." Karsha reached out and pressed Lin Nian's shoulder: "Do you feel it?" ”

"What do you feel?" Lin Nian asked subconsciously.

"Weight." Kartha withdrew her hand and chuckled, raised her glass, and then turned to leave: "Maybe you can learn from Caesar Gattuso in the future, he knows very well where he is, but now, go and enjoy the banquet, 'S' class students, even if the student council party is different from what you imagined, it is still much better than the Lionheart." ”

Before Lin Nian could say anything more with his wine glass, Karsha had already disappeared, he shook his head and felt that the people in this academy, whether they were professors or students, were all chattering and didn't talk about people, and liked to mess everything up.

But at least now Lin Nian hasn't forgotten what his original intention was, choosing to stand between the Lionheart Club and the Student Council? No, he's come to Ample for a party to fill his stomach with something to eat, and now his target Boston lobster is more than twenty meters away from him.

After clarifying the goal, Lin Nian took the wine glass and refreshed his spirits, took one step - and then shrunk back.

He looked up helplessly in front of him, and someone was blocking the way again, this time stopping in front of him was a man with hot hair and a cheap suit, with a camera hanging on his chest, and he was 'energetic' rubbing his hands and looking at Lin Nian.

"Any advice?" Lin Nian always felt like a talent scout he had met on the street before, and his motives were impure, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the student union.

"Department of Information, Lester, I'd like to interview you with a few questions, I don't know if I'm available." The man asked tentatively with the camera in both hands and made a gesture to take pictures.

"The Department of Public Information... Does the student union also have a press department? Lin Nian thought about it and seemed to remember that there was a news department in the school.

"No, we're a loose group, but our minister is a member of the student union, so that's why I have the opportunity to be here." The man explained.

"Dare to ask who your family minister?" Lin Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Fingal von, Frings." The man replied.

"Sorry, not available." Lin Nian's face turned black all of a sudden, and he turned sideways to the man's body and drilled towards the dining table in the distance.
