Liu Feifei was stunned, and before she was willing to withdraw her gaze from her face, Nie Changhuan was already uncomfortable with her, so he grabbed her arm and forcibly took her to the banquet hall.

"Changhuan, what you wear is so simple." Liu Feifei glanced at the dress skirt on her body, which was quite expensive, and was a little embarrassed, but she was relieved in an instant: no matter how beautiful and expensive she was, there was no way to hide Nie Changhuan's light.

Just like Cen Xingyue, after Nie Changhuan entered the banquet hall, she would definitely regret her disdainful look just now.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the banquet hall, they heard that the area near the door inside gradually quieted down, and the men and women who were originally talking to each other turned their heads to look at the loud Cen Xingyue.

Cen Xingyue elegantly put one hand on the arm of her male partner, and lightly held the skirt that was shining in the light with the other, and stepped on high heels step by step under the gaze of everyone.

There are almost no people in this circle tonight who don't know Cen Xingyue.

As soon as she appeared at this moment, naturally a large number of people immediately surrounded her, and Cen Xingyue was surrounded and walked to the front of the banquet hall, and the area at the entrance was instantly much empty.

Nie Changhuan stood aside, and after Cen Xingyue was completely out of the limelight, he took Liu Feifei in and found a table to sit down.

Liu Feifei stared at Cen Xingyue, who was sitting at the front of her, and complained: "Changhuan, you are the first place, why are you so low-key than the second place?" Isn't that the table supposed to be for you? ”

Nie Changhuan glanced at Cen Xingyue, who was talking calmly with someone, and smiled indifferently: "At this moment, that table is full of people who are interested in Cen Xingyue, if I rush over now, I will only be bored." There is no hurry. ”

"But ......" Liu Feifei blinked, and after thinking about it, she actually felt that it made sense, but she didn't expect this level to come up at all.

As a result, Liu Feifei admired Nie Changhuan even more, felt that she was so superficial, and sat quietly for the next half hour.

Although Nie Changhuan has been sitting in his position, he has not been idle, and has been observing the people around him.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged yuppie uncle-type man walked up to the center of the stage, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said a few words and announced the official opening of the banquet, but before the banquet, someone asked to know the protagonists of tonight.

That is, the top three in the last competition.

Liu Feifei was suddenly more nervous than Nie Changhuan, so she introduced to Nie Changhuan: "The one on the stage is the eldest son of the master of Chinese painting, that is, the president of the sole sponsor of this competition, Chang Xun. ”

Nie Changhuan nodded, and was about to ask Liu Feifei something, but he heard Chang Xun say: "Since everyone's voice is so high, before the banquet, let's invite our top three to come to the stage to show up!" ”

As soon as her voice fell, I don't know who started, and someone below began to shout in unison: Cen Xingyue, Cen Xingyue, Cen Xingyue......

Cen Xingyue turned sideways, looked at the people around her who were shouting her name, shook her head and chuckled helplessly, and then stood up.

Chang Xun smiled and made a gesture of please: "Then first invite our talented and beautiful Cen Xingyue and Cen Qianjin to come up and say hello to everyone first!" Everyone is welcome! ”

The banquet hall burst into applause.

Cen Xingyue stood still, smiled lightly and bowed to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness, but this time I am only the second place, no matter what, I should not be the first to come to the stage." It's not as good as ......."

She paused, searched the circle in the banquet hall, raised her lips and smiled, and said loudly: "Chuanmei's Xie Dacai has long been famous in the circle, and this time he ranked third, why don't you invite our Xie Dacai Xie Lanshen to come to the stage first?" Please applaud Xie Dacai, okay? ”

Cen Xingyue exhaled, and naturally there was a corresponding piece.

Nie Changhuan couldn't help but applaud, and looked at Cen Xingyue's line of sight, also wanting to see what this Xie Lanshen looked like.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lanshen was sitting at the next table, but he was the only one at his table.

After being reminded by the person at the next table, he slowly raised his head, took off the headphones stuffed in his ears, raised his eyes that were almost completely covered by bangs and swept his eyes on the stage, and then looked at Cen Xingyue, who was taking the lead in applauding him, and then his thin lips didn't move, which meant that he stood up without any expression at all.

As soon as he got up, the applause and shouts of the audience froze, and then gradually disappeared.

Because he was wearing a pair of loose black trousers, and only a gray-white shirt that looked old and was slightly wrinkled.

It was as if he had gone to the wrong place, and then he took the wrong place and continued to walk on the stage with a blank face.

As soon as he stood on the stage, he was half a head taller than Chang Xun, who was originally of good height.

He just stood like that, careless and inviting, as if nothing could get into his eyes, and as if he was a kind of protective instinct to reject people from thousands of miles away.

Everyone looked at each other.

Chang Xun covered his lips and coughed, and said, "We are really young people with full personality who are engaged in art", and after saying a few words about the circle, he handed the microphone to Xie Lanshen and asked him to say hello to everyone.

Xie Lan paused before taking the microphone, but it was useless, he pinched it with one hand, bowed slightly to the bottom of the stage, and returned the microphone to Chang Xun.

Chang Xun had no choice but to let people go, and quickly called Cen Xingyue's name again.

Cen Xingyue originally deliberately wanted to lift Xie Lanshen just to suppress Nie Changhuan, but how could she know that Xie Lanshen was so ignorant of lifting, which made her so embarrassed.

So when she heard that Chang Xun let herself go on stage, it took Cen Xingyue a second or two to smile gracefully again, get up, and be escorted to the edge of the stage by the male companion beside her.

In this interval, Nie Changhuan couldn't help but look at Xie Lanshen, who was walking towards his seat, and said to Liu Feifei casually: "Feifei, this Xie Dacai, have you heard of it before?" ”

She waited for a few seconds, but she didn't hear Liu Feifei's response, so she turned her head to look at her, only to find that Liu Feifei was staring at Xie Lanshen and burst into tears.

Nie Changhuan's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help shouting "Fei Fei".

Liu Feifei suddenly came back to her senses, and after facing Nie Changhuan's puzzled gaze, she turned her head in a panic and hurriedly wiped the tears on her face.

Nie Changhuan didn't ask much, and in the warm applause given to Cen Xingyue in the banquet hall, he couldn't comfort Liu Feifei, so he had to hand her a tissue.

Liu Feifei waved her hand, and smiled sweetly at her when she raised her head again: "I'm fine, Changhuan, it's coming to you soon, you hurry up and prepare!" ”

Nie Changhuan looked at Liu Feifei's red eyes, and then turned his head to look at Xie Lanshen, wanting to say something, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say anything.

Just in time for Chang Xun to call her name on the stage, she had to pat Liu Feifei on the shoulder, get up, and walk to the stage step by step under the gaze of everyone.

Every time she took a step, the banquet hall, which was originally noisy because of Cen Xingyue, was quiet for a minute, and when she finally stood beside Chang Xun a little restrainedly, the entire banquet hall was almost silent.

So no one noticed, and when Nie Changhuan walked to the stage, the door of the banquet hall opened again, and two tall men walked in one after the other, and sat down in the vacant seats next to Xie Lanshen.

Chang Xun's eyes were still glued to Nie Changhuan at this moment, and a pair of eyes no longer knew how many times he had seen Nie Changhuan from top to bottom.

It's very strange, obviously the skirt on her body looks like a bargain, but she wears it like a custom model like nothing in the world, and her hair is directly combed into a low ponytail and simply tied behind her head, without any superfluous decorations, and even the makeup is so light that it is almost invisible, but it is so dazzling that it seems to be glowing.

And obviously she didn't show anything, her face was so immortal that she was pure to death, and her eyes were also clear and waveless, but it tickled people's hearts and bodies.

Chang Xun couldn't help but sigh, such a person, even if he held it in his arms and smelled it, he would not be a man in vain.

Nie Changhuan was a little uncomfortable by him, and the eyes of the audience made her feel like pins and needles, so she took the initiative to look at him, very polite: "Mr. Chang, hello." ”

Chang Xun laughed, and when he took a step towards Nie Changhuan, he raised his hand and grabbed Nie Changhuan's shoulder, and rubbed his five fingers with a little sweat on her bare shoulder, only to feel that the skin was so soft and delicate that it made his heart feel crisp.

He suddenly couldn't stand still, especially when Nie Changhuan frowned directly and avoided him, he was itchy and contemptuous in his heart, and after a few simple words, he followed Nie Changhuan and got off the stage.

"Champion Little Beauty ......" Chang Xun caught up with Nie Changhuan and walked in front of her side, intentionally or unintentionally blocking her way, Nie Changhuan had to stop, undisguised his resistance and disgust towards him, Chang Xun only didn't know, but he also patted his mouth like a sudden realization, "My fault, my fault, people like you, it's not an exaggeration to call you a peerless beauty, how can you say it's a little beauty?" ”

Nie Changhuan pulled his lips and was about to speak, Chang Xun, as an old fritter, immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't deny your talent because of your appearance." You can rest assured that with your winnings and your drawings, I will definitely deliver on my promises. However, since tonight is a celebration party, you can't just leave like this, at least you have to go over and say hello to a few judges. ”

Nie Changhuan turned her head to look and saw that Cen Xingyue and Yan Xiaofeng were both on that table, and Yan Xiaofeng also turned her head to look at her, she hesitated, remembering her original intention of coming here tonight, she still turned around and went to the table.

Chang Xun followed her, looking at the slender but delicate lines vaguely outlined by the skirt as she walked, licked her lips unconsciously, touched the void with the hand hanging by her side, and squeezed her palm, rubbing her five fingers like an aftertaste.

Cen Xingyue glanced at Chang Xun sideways, and happened to see his series of actions, and immediately frowned in disgust.

She retracted her gaze, seeing that Nie Changhuan was about to approach, she immediately told the people at the table about the public welfare projects related to art that she planned to organize, and was ready to draw everyone's attention and attention, so that Nie Changhuan would be ignored and ignored.

But she really underestimated the aggressiveness of beauty to men, Nie Changhuan hadn't approached yet, and the five or six men on the table had already looked at Nie Changhuan frequently, and one of the young well-known rich young men was still looking at Nie Changhuan's distance while silently adjusting his bow tie.

At this time, Cen Xingyue was left out in the cold, and almost no one was listening to her.

Cen Xingyue, who was snubbed like this for the first time in a social occasion, secretly pinched the wine glass, raised her chin slightly, and took the lead in reaching out to Nie Changhuan: "Senior sister Changhuan, sit here, I have already reserved a place for you." ”

Nie Changhuan was originally going to ignore her directly, but thinking that she didn't know the general situation in the eyes of others after all, she pulled her lips and smiled: "Okay, thank you, senior sister." ”

Cen Xingyue smiled, and when Nie Changhuan sat down, she poured herself a glass of wine, raised her glass and said to everyone: "In order to thank you, and to celebrate our Changhuan sister's blockbuster, I will toast everyone first." ”

She raised her head and took a sip, turned sideways to Nie Changhuan and said with a smile: "Changhuan, you are the champion and the protagonist of tonight, don't run away." Mr. Chang, you said yes, right? ”

Chang Xun looked at Cen Xingyue, Cen Xingyue's smile deepened, and he nodded slightly.

Chang Xun immediately laughed, and when he walked towards Cen Xingyue, Cen Xingyue immediately gave up his position and sat down beside Yan Xiaofeng.

Chang Xun immediately sat down next to Nie Changhuan, put his arm on the back of Nie Changhuan's chair, and almost encircled Nie Changhuan in his arms.

Chang Xun poured himself a glass with one hand, poured it full for Nie Changhuan, and brought Nie Changhuan's wine glass to her mouth: "Our champion sister, uncle personally served you wine, you can't help but give face!" ”

Nie Changhuan's back straightened, and he glanced at Yan Xiaofeng, who was tilting his head and talking to the middle-aged judge who embarrassed Nie Changhuan last time, as if he didn't realize it.

Nie Changhuan knew that Yan Xiaofeng was not willing to offend the son of this master in the Chinese painting industry for her.

To be a human being, you have to make trade-offs.

Since this is the situation tonight, it is time to abandon the original intention.

Nie Changhuan pulled his lips and smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I never drink." ”

"There's a first time for everything! In this way, you give me the first time tonight, and in this circle in the future, I will cover you! ”

As soon as Chang Xun's voice fell, several men at the table laughed unabashedly.

One of the men poked his smoky yellowed finger and tapped Chang Xun, full of ridicule: "Chang Xun, what you say is bad!" Even if you want to have that friendship with other little girls, you shouldn't say it on this bright side, how can other little girls be embarrassed to agree to you? ”

After saying that, several men burst into a muffled chuckle again.

Another middle-aged man answered: "You're wrong, the most interesting thing about this kind of thing is to half-push and half-refuse!" ”

Nie Changhuan clenched his fingers and moved back, preparing to get up and leave.

Cen Xingyue was afraid that she would leave, so she immediately played a round and said, "Mr. Chang, my senior sister is here, I can't let you bully our junior sister like this." ”

Everyone at the table raised their eyebrows at her.

Cen Xingyue smiled, and said to Nie Changhuan warmly: "Since you don't want to drink, but you are the champion, if you sit like this, everyone may lose their interest, and they will lose the meaning of this celebration banquet." ”

Nie Changhuan saw her look at the other side of the banquet hall and chuckled, "So what? ”

"Well, since you're good at painting, I'm sure you also have a lot of other talents, and there are many musical instruments over there, why don't you pick one and play a song or sing a song?" Cen Xingyue paused, "Changhuan, this is also an opportunity for everyone to get to know you and see your talent, isn't it?" ”

Nie Changhuan glanced at the musical instrument area over there, with an embarrassed expression.

Cen Xingyue hooked her lips, but persuaded a few more words.

"Since Senior Sister Xingyue is so insistent, then I'll give it a try." Nie Changhuan got up, but in a moment he thought of something, and smiled at Cen Xingyue, "If I go up to perform, then when I am toasted tonight, can Sister Xingyue drink it for me?" ”

"That's not going to work." Cen Xingyue directly refused, but after thinking about it, she softened and said, "If you play well and sing well, it's not like I can't block some for you." ”

"What are the judging criteria?"

"Naturally, it's everyone's applause."

"Okay." Although Nie Changhuan said this, he still showed hesitation.

Cen Xingyue's eyes overflowed with contempt, she didn't know Nie Changhuan's background.

Therefore, in Cen Xingyue's opinion, it is inevitable that Nie Changhuan will make a fool of himself tonight.

Even if she doesn't make a fool of herself, then she, the champion, will be just a first-class person who is grandiose and sells her face to seek glory in the eyes of people in the future, and she no longer has any elegant meaning.

Unless, her song amazed the four seats, so that everyone present was amazed, unforgettable, and unforgettable.

But how is this possible.

So, when Cen Xingyue saw Nie Changhuan pick a guqin and sit on the ground because she didn't find a suitable position, she couldn't help but sneer and shake her head, especially when Nie Changhuan learned the appearance of a master in the TV series and lowered her head and closed her eyes slightly, she almost felt like she was going to laugh to death.

But she still stood up and used her power as Miss Cen to quiet the banquet hall and listen to the performance of the champion Nie Changhuan.

Everyone understands, but naturally they are full of ridicule and disdain.

Cen Xingyue was very happy to see everyone's expressions, and the smile on her face deepened.

It wasn't until the piano sounded that her smile froze, and then after the song was over, even before she came back to her senses, Nie Changhuan had already returned to her place.

In the banquet hall, there was silence and the needle drop could be heard.

Chang Xun's eyes were about to pop out, and his heart was getting more and more itchy.

He completely forgot about what happened before, and was the first to come back to his senses, praising Nie Changhuan and taking the lead in applauding.

Then, the applause in the banquet hall was thunderous and enduring.

Nie Changhuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Cen Xingyue.

Cen Xingyue's eyes seemed to be stagnant, no longer moving, and only looked at her fixedly.

And Chang Xun can't wait to take Nie Changhuan away directly at this moment, but if he doesn't get people drunk, the next thing will not be so easy to do.

So he picked up the wine glass again, I don't know if he was too excited or deliberate, he took a sip of the wine glass, and when his lips were still stained with the liquid of the wine, he put the wine glass to Nie Changhuan's mouth and said, "Miss Nie, you are really ...... It was a surprise. This wine tonight is my sincere respect to you, you can't help but drink it! ”

Nie Changhuan subconsciously tilted his head, and the disgust on his face was undisguised.

Seeing her like this, Cen Xingyue kindly reminded: "Changhuan, we are juniors, and we can't live up to the importance and kindness of our predecessors." It's just a glass of wine, and it's nothing to drink. ”

Nie Changhuan felt speechless about Cen Xingyue's words, but before she had time to speak, Chang Xun had already come over with a wine glass at Cen Xingyue's voice: "Look! Or your senior sister is sensible! Come on, come on, a drink isn't a big deal! ”

Nie Changhuan could already clearly smell the smell of tobacco and alcohol in Chang Xun's mouth, and he was about to reach out to block the wine glass, but the wine glass was snatched away by another slender knuckle hand, and the wine glass was steady and not a drop was spilled.

Nie Changhuan looked at the hand blankly, his eyes followed the retracted movement of the hand to the side, until the owner of the hand folded his long legs and sat down beside her, she looked at the man's face in a daze.
