Chapter 104: Reasons to Attend the Banquet
Under the guidance of the waiter, Ye Ziteng and Xia Ke crossed the long path and finally reached their destination.
After a few steps, there is a wooden street lamp, which illuminates the path surrounded by lush trees in a dim light. The scene ahead gradually became more open, and the lights became brighter, still a dim color, but a little more popular than before.
The open lawn is lined with long wooden tables, white stilted round chairs are arranged, and red roses are placed diagonally in crystal bottles filled with one-third of water. Under the illumination of the light, the water in the crystal bottle reflects a variety of colors.
Brilliant red, eye-catching emerald, as well as thick brown and pure white, are all shrouded in dusk, making people subconsciously forget fatigue and depression.
The banquet is high-end, and the guests who come to the banquet are naturally noble.
The beauty of the women has its own characteristics, bewitching or pure, hot or soft, they gather together in threes and threes, but their eyes wander on the field.
And the men standing on the field smile confidently when they see the ladies looking in the direction they are.
Xia Ke felt that she was like the Alice who followed the rabbit into the magical world, and Alice drilled a hole into another world, a world with Mr. Mad Hatter with wonderful yellow pupils, a White Queen who hid her dark side, and a domineering and fierce Queen of Hearts who screamed every day to cut off other people's heads......
And her world may have these people, but she doesn't know it.
The gentle music sounded like flowing water, and it was a familiar rhythm - "Flowers and Full Moon".
As the music played, a splash of water erupted, followed by jets of water from the surrounding lawn. The height of the water column varies with the undulation of the tone, and the water splashes down on the green grass blades and shatters.
Everyone at the banquet put down their glasses, men and women looked at each other and smiled, and stepped onto the marble table together.
Men in suits held their female companions' hands with one hand, their hair combed shiny, and the marble floor beneath their feet. The women were dressed in gowns, proudly lifting their chins as if they were crowned on their heads.
The men and women who slipped onto the dance floor were all so noble, and the lights from all sides gathered on the dance floor, dancing with the guests.
Xia Ke and Ye Ziteng were still standing on the path, with steps made of wood at their feet. The waiter who led the way had already left, and the two who came late stood there abruptly.
Especially when everyone is walking towards the dance floor, the two people who are motionless and good-looking are even more abrupt.
"May I invite you to a dance, this beautiful young lady?"
The voice came from the right, and Xia Ke turned his head and took his gaze back from the dance floor, looking at the strange but handsome man in front of him.
At first glance, Xia Ke felt that this person was six points similar to Xu Zijing, three points in appearance, one point in tone of speech, one point in the eyes when looking at people, and one point in the flat smile......
Since she was tricked by Xu Gongzi, she has held a grudge against Xu Gongzi, and now there is a person who hits her face and looks like she owes as much as Xu Zijing, of course she will not give any good face.
So Xia Ke smiled, stretched out his left hand, shook it in front of the man, and then unhurriedly stuffed it into the gap between Ye Ziteng's arm and body.
"Of course, no!"
The man watched Xia Ke's movements, and the stiff smile on his face was really comfortable. He probably didn't expect that there was such a way of rejecting people. Following Xia Ke's hand, the man looked at Ye Ziteng, who didn't say anything beside him, and glanced at the dance floor again, but he couldn't help but speak.
"Are you sure this gentleman is your male companion?" The man looked suspiciously at the two of them who didn't match their temperament at all, "He looks more like your enemy, doesn't he?" ”
At this time, Xia Ke didn't know how to refute.
She did think about killing Ye Ziteng, and Ye Ziteng did want to kill her, but this was all a few months ago. Now, Xia Ke glanced at Ye Ziteng's face with some uncertainty, and found that the strange man's words might be true.
"Ahem," Xia Ke felt it for the first time when she was so directly disliked, she gave the man a roll of her eyes, hated him for being too talkative, and then pulled her arm out of Ye Ziteng's side.
Before his arm was fully withdrawn, Xia Ke's hand was grasped.
"Where's Duan Zhen?"
Ye Ziteng put his left hand in his trouser pocket, held Xia Ke's hand with his right hand, and looked at the man in front of him with an indifferent expression.
"Do you know Duan Zhen?" The man seemed to be surprised by this, and after being surprised, his eyes rolled on the hand held by Xia Ke and Ye Ziteng, with a calculating expression.
Xia Ke was suddenly held by Ye Ziteng, and she shook a little unaccustomedly, trying to break free. In the eyes of the man, this action means that Xia Ke is not satisfied with the man holding her hand.
"Of course," the man smiled and nodded, "she is my cousin's female companion today, and the woman my cousin has his eye on. Oh yes, forgot to introduce yourself. The man smiled at Xia Ke slightly apologetically, and then stretched out his hand, "My name is Xu Ziyun, the second young man of the Xu family." ”
Co-authoring is such a relationship!
Xia Ke pursed his lips, ignoring the man's outstretched hand.
She said, how can it be so annoying, it turns out that it has similar genes.
"Where's your cousin?" Xia Ke asked, after coming in for so long, she had never seen Duan Zhen or Xu Zijing in the crowd. If it weren't for the invitation that Ye Ziteng handed to the waiter before entering the door, she would have wondered if they had gone to the wrong venue.
Xu Ziyun's gaze turned again, he looked at the two people in front of him, and he already had a plan in his heart.
The two people in front of him kept mentioning his cousin and the woman his cousin brought back, even if he lacked heart, he knew that the relationship between these two and his cousin was definitely not shallow. But it's one thing not to be shallow, and it's another thing not to be deep.
Besides, my cousin may not want to see them now, so don't say it.
Without a trace of embarrassment, Xu Ziyun naturally withdrew the hand he had just stretched out, spread his hands and smiled: "I don't know this, maybe where to go on a date secretly, who knows, after all, the atmosphere is so good." ”
The atmosphere was indeed beautiful, so beautiful that the men and women on the dance floor hugged each other and left the dance floor.
As the music drew to a close, the fountain calmed down, the lights dimmed, and the surroundings became dim again. The men and women on the dance floor were scattered in the blink of an eye, and the banquet hall was once again lively.
Xia Ke snorted lightly and shook Ye Ziteng's hand, "Since you don't know, then we'll find it ourselves." Giving Xu Ziyun a look that didn't want to talk to you, Xia Ke pulled Ye Ziteng and walked past Xu Ziyun.
The high heels stepped on the soft lawn, and Xia Ke's center of gravity was a little unstable. She looked at the noble ladies who were leaving, and she was silently envious in her heart.
When will she be able to go so smoothly......
Suddenly, his left hand was held firmly, and then Ye Ziteng walked to Xia Ke's side, he put Xia Ke's right hand on his left hand, and then his right hand was bent, and Xia Ke's arm was just through his elbow.
Xia Ke looked at Ye Ziteng in a daze, today's Ye Ziteng, she couldn't understand it. Maybe she never understood, she thought that Ye Ziteng should be very lonely, but since she saw the eight-year-old Ye Ziteng, she found that maybe his loneliness was different from what she thought.
Her left hand was forcibly grabbed, and Xia Ke didn't break free, she couldn't walk steadily, and if she fell, it would be a shame to lose her hair.
"Thank you, subordinate Ye!" Xia Ke stepped forward again, and with Ye Ziteng's support, she walked much more openly than before. The previous caution is gone, carrying the skirt in one hand and Ye Ziteng in the other. The flying sleeves were slightly raised, and she slowly raised her chin as she felt the gaze shooting around her.
Those eyes were really hot, and they almost didn't ignite Xia Ke.
However, with Xia Ke's current state, if it weren't for Ye Ziteng's cold fingers on the side, she would probably have spontaneously combusted.
It is said that women are a magical species, they have an extremely accurate sixth sense, and they also have an extraordinarily strong sense of acumen. As soon as the slightest glimmer of gaze fell on them, they could immediately analyze the emotion in that gaze.
For example, now, Xia Ke has a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. Envy, jealousy, doubt, amazement...... She was about to lose the emotional complexity of those eyes.
Xia Ke, who entered the field with Ye Ziteng, suddenly became the focus of the audience.
The dim light could not hide the beauty of Xia Ke, she was like a blooming wisteria rose, pouring out of the lush vine leaves, stunning the entire venue.
If there is only one Xia Ke, it is not enough to reach the level of amazingness, and the existence of Ye Ziteng shows the beauty of Xia Ke to an extreme degree.
Even Xu Ziyun, who was standing behind the two, saw the backs of the two and wondered if his guess just now was wrong. If these two are just pretending to be a couple, then why is the aura so integrated? It's weird......
Xu Ziyun tilted his head and looked at Ye Ziteng, and Ye Ziteng calmly led Xia Ke to the depths of the venue. Ye Ziteng's eyes caught a glimpse of Xia Ke, who was particularly proud, and suddenly understood.
Before, he still didn't understand, why would anyone like to go to a banquet? Isn't this kind of thing a banquet a boring party invented by a group of people who put interests first in order to get something?
Looking at Xia Ke's reaction now, he probably understands that women like banquets just to show off to other women what they have higher than others.
What Ye Ziteng owned, the arm that Ye Ziteng was holding by Xia Ke was a little stiff, and Xia Ke seemed to treat him as what she owned now......
