Chapter 43: Ample Pavilion
Even if everything is real under the magnesium light, the flash has been making black noise on Lin Nian's retina, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover it and cause the paparazzi to lament, compared to the rest of the men and women seem to have given birth to a pair of titanium alloy dog eyes, let the flash dazzle the eyelids without blinking, Lin Nian can only suddenly admire and speed up the pace and hurriedly walk.
"What's the hurry? Senior brother, I thought you were the type to hold no matter what the scene. Mandy's pace is not fast or slow, and the steps she walks are the same as those of the Victoria's Secret angels, Lin Nian is well aware of the suspicion that this usually unobtrusive girl has practiced privately in order to run today's ten-meter red carpet.
"Why do you feel that?" It's not so much about traveling with the United States, it's better to say that the United States is traveling with you, and now the dominant power of the pace is not Lin Nian, and he can only smile bitterly and cooperate with Mandy to show his style.
"When I met you in China, the first impression was that although I was young, I was very assertive, and in my sophomore year, I took the psychology of Masaki Toyama, and through shallow analysis, most people like you like to be strong under self-improvement and self-reliance, even if you are uncomfortable, no matter how many things you pick on your shoulders, your face looks casual." Mandy shrugged.
"I'm also a human being, and I usually say things I don't like, because there is already one at home who likes to be reckless, and she is my negative example in this regard."
"It's a good thing to say bluntly, most people in this school like to be strong, so everyone is tense when they encounter things, and they decorate their faces with a layer of demeanor as a mask to see people and things, I don't like it." "If everyone had something to talk about like you," Mandy said, "Life would probably be a lot easier." β
"Why is Mandy-senpai here?" Lin Nian didn't like the sudden rigorous conversation at the moment, so he changed the topic stiffly.
"I'm more curious than why I'm here, why you're standing at the door in a daze."
"I met Caesar Gattuso in the morning, and at the end of the class, he said that I would come here tonight for a party."
"Oh, this is supposed to be your first student council party." Mandy immediately understood the key point of the matter: "This should have been an accident, the occasion must have been very formal when Caesar invited you in the morning, right?" Otherwise, he should email you via Norma to remind you to get dressed and mail the party invitation to your dorm. β
"It's true that I haven't been back to my dorm after a busy afternoon." Lin Nian nodded: "Wouldn't it be difficult to do without an invitation on your body?" β
"If it were someone else, probably would, but if it were you, I don't think that problem existed today." Mandy smiled.
"Why?"
"Because you're famous, junior brother." Mandy took out her mobile phone from the makeup bag she was carrying, poked the screen open and threw it to Lin Nian.
Lin Nian glanced at the words "Shocking, 'S-Class' Trainee is Born...", which was the title of the night watchman forum, and didn't want to read it anymore, turned off the phone screen and handed it back to Mandy: "I shouldn't have told anyone." β
"But you ignore listening to the corner outside the classroom door, if you roughly glance at the content of the post, you will probably find that this post is edited by the paparazzi of a certain news department, the people in the news department are the best at listening to the corner gossip, your conversation with Principal Ange in the classroom should be overheard, before noon this post was sent, by your dear Fingal roommate pinned red to the top of the reply to the top of the day's hit, even if you didn't come to the student union party, back to the dormitory probably can bump into the party of the news department."
"They're partying too? I'm curious if the DPI party is the same as I thought. β
"Can you imagine Fingal walking the red carpet with his girlfriend in a suit? I can't think of them anyway, their party
It's probably a family bucket, Coke, and perverted spicy chicken wings, and Fingal made a lot of money by relying on the handicap around you. Mandy shrugged.
"What about you, senior sister?" Lin Nian looked sideways at Mandy.
"Maybe it's time to change your name to Senior Sister, and if you pass the 3E exam, you will officially be a student of Professor Manstein."
"That's good, senior sister."
"Good." Mandy showed a comfortable smile: "I can be convinced by the 'S' level students to call my senior sister, I haven't failed in the past few years in college, as for the handicap, is the senior sister's dress good today?" β
"Got it." Lin Nian glanced sideways at the blonde girl who looked at Hua Jianren, and bowed her head slightly.
The two of them also walked in front of the waiter guarding the main entrance of the Ample Pavilion at this moment, the waiter in the housekeeper's service was a young freshman who had just joined the student union, and he could go straight to the front line to become a movie star just by looking at his handsome face, and at this time he asked the two very politely: "Please show me the invitation, thank you." β
Mandy took out a black gilded invitation from her makeup bag and put it in the tray, but Lin Nian stood there and touched her nose: "I forgot to bring my invitation in the bedroom." β
"Not only that, but you weren't dressed as instructed on the invitation." The waiter looked Lin Nian up and down and said slowly.
From the very beginning, everyone wondered where this boy in a school uniform came from, and was led down the red carpet by a blonde girl with a calm attitude.
This kind of scene everyone speculates that there are only two possibilities, one is that this person is a maverick and does not follow the usual path, and the other is that the Lionheart will be sent by the Lionheart next door to smash the field, and I think that the student union and the Lionheart will not be at odds, this is also a matter from beginning to end, considering that the presidents of the two families are now going to intern in their senior year, is it the factional war that the successors are about to stage?
"He didn't bring an invitation, but he should be on the invitation list." At this point, Mandy stepped forward to explain.
The waiter paused for a moment to take a closer look at the boy in front of him in the light shining from behind the glass door, and after his eyes lit up slightly, he bowed slightly and moved out of the way and said with a smile: "Yes, of course, your male partner is on the invitation list, after all, the loss of guest invitations is also under the consideration of the organizers, so we have already memorized the guest list of all the invitations, and your male partner's name is the last to be added to the list, and the organizer specially reminded us that he is the guest of honor at this banquet, welcome to the student union, Mr. Lin Nian." β
It may be that the waiter's voice was not deliberately suppressed, Lin Nian's name was heard by the people on the side when he read it, and many paparazzi carefully looked at the face of the boy in school uniform according to the lights of the Ample Pavilion, and finally immediately raised the camera to shoot after suddenly realizing it, and the magnesium light was as warm as the sky of the fireworks display.
S-level student Lin Nian came to the student union, such a scene is not often seen, this is a statement? Or is it a temptation? Everyone was speculating, and some even unconsciously began to applaud, as if a major event was now being staged enough to go down in history.
"The first 'S' class student in recent years? Hello, I am the head of the Students' Union Dance Troupe and it is a pleasure to meet you today at Ample Hall. The tall girl in a swan-like light gauze white dress walked up to Lin Nian, who was still stunned, and stretched out her hand.
"Hello." Lin Nian didn't understand what was going on, but he still reached out and gently shook the hand of this girl with pale skin as white as snow.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to dance with you in a while." The swan-like Russian girl bowed slightly, smiled as beautifully as twilight, and walked into the Ample Pavilion.
"Deputy Minister of Sailing, our Minister is now socializing inside, and I hope to talk to you if I have the opportunity in a while." Another bronze-skinned man who looked like a Haibo commando that Lin Nian had seen during the physical test came forward and shook his hand: "'S' class student, I heard that your hometown is a coastal city, and you must be a good hand if you want to come to Sailing, our Sailing Department welcomes talents like you!" β
"No... Actually, I haven't played sailing much, and my biggest interest in the summer is part-time work..."
"I'm the head of the mountaineering department, an 'S' class student, there must be a mountain in your hometown..."
"No... My home is coastal. β
"Good coast, I'm the head of the diving department..."
"Sorority..."
"Thank you, thank you, hello, hello." Lin Nian shook hands with one by one in the overwhelming greetings, and the crowd around him was talking, pointing out, and he was a little stunned in the noise, this kind of preferential treatment had never happened more than ten years ago in his life, at most similar things happened in the Internet cafΓ©, a group of CS heavy enthusiasts made way for his personal presence on the computer desk.
And now, at such a banquet of this level, the reporter regards him as a star, and from time to time someone comes up to shake hands with him and report his home just to leave an impression, and the spotlights come from all directions to shine on him.
"From the moment that box of lipstick arrived, I knew Caesar Gattuso was going to get you!" Mandy grabbed Lin Nian's arm again, and pushed away a part of the crowd that was trying to come forward to socialize for him, and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Should I be proud, proud?" Lin Nian, who was finally rescued from the crowd, asked softly.
"As an 'S' class, you can, but it's all up to you." Mandy said, "Do you think this kind of preferential treatment makes you feel better?" β
"It's unrealistic, but it's real."
"Then Senior Sister can only tell you to adapt to it since it happened, if you don't like it, then simply stay away from it, at least you are already standing here tonight, but the choice is still in your hands." Mandy opened the glass doors that reflected the light and shadow of the chandeliers in the hall, and the luxurious dΓ©cor of Ample Pavilion gave everyone's face a touch of brilliant golden pink.
The cello band played behind the railing on the second floor, and the people strolling and mingling on the dance floor looked like amber diamonds sparkling in the spotlight.
