The giant crystal chandelier swaying brightly, reflected in the colorful cups, gorgeous and noble, but also as false and unreal as the makeup on the faces of the beauties.

It's just that, for thousands of years, this similar scene seems to have never changed.

In Philip's opinion, such a banquet is far less lively and popular than that of Lok Ma Town.

It's just that the people who come to participate are of higher titles, the men are more decently dressed, the women are more gorgeous, and the jewelry is more luxurious.

Of course, the banquet was held in a larger castle instead of a villa in the town, and the food and drinks were more expensive.

As the only two men in the third generation of the Snape family, Philip had to put on a new custom-made gown, get his hair shiny, and stand at the gate with his cousin Bruce to greet the guests.

Unlike Philip, Bruce, though only two years older than him, seems to have grown accustomed to these things, and behaves in a manner that is quite a bit of a future heir, and he does not at all see the rude and talkative appearance he usually looks like in the academy.

Philip took the initiative to trail Bruce by half a position, allowing his cousin to show off his coquettishness in front of all the guests.

His attention was focused on the little Shota who were about seven or eight years old who came with the guests.

According to the normal law, from next year, his two younger sisters will need to go to school.

These bear children in front of them are either cute or serious, and if there is no accident, they are likely to become classmates or seniors of their sisters.

Today, there are at least dozens of little boys who accompany their parents and elders to the banquet, all of them are dressed up brightly and decently, noble and cute.

He was hesitating for a while, whether he should teach these immature flowers a little lesson, so that their childhood would be too smooth and happy, and add such a deep memory, or a shadow.

"Congressman Turi Lensad arrived with his wife. The voice of a specially trained doorman rang out, and a middle-aged man with silver hair walked into the door of the banquet hall with a beautiful lady in his arms, accompanied by a teenage girl.

The girl wore a bright green lily dress, long white silk gloves, long silver hair coiled on the top of her head, and a pair of large green eyes under the long eyelashes.

Goose egg face, tall, about 1.8 meters, perhaps because of clothing, it looks like a small grade is quite plump and mature, and the curve of the chest is even more exaggerated.

This wasn't Philip's type, he just followed his cousin and nodded politely, only to suddenly notice that Bruce in front of him was in something wrong.

As the third generation of the Snape family as the chief heir, Bruce has been perfect so far tonight.

Speak elegantly, behave decently, anyone who sees it will give a thumbs up and praise, what a noble boy.

But it was such a near-perfect boy, and after the appearance of this girl, it seemed that he had been in the dark arts, his limbs were stiff, his nerves were confused, and his hands and feet were at a loss.

Even the self-introduction and welcome speech that I don't know how many times I said tonight were a little stumbling, and I repeated it twice before I finished it.

When the silver-haired girl stretched out her arm and waited for Bruce to kiss him politely, Bruce turned red and sweated on his forehead, and the most outrageous thing was that he actually kissed it.

As we said before, aristocratic etiquette is very nonsense.

I don't know which person who lacks heart and eyes stipulates that the standard action when kissing a lady is to kiss as if you are not kissing, not only to show enthusiasm, but also not to really kiss other people's skin, otherwise it will be a very serious faux pas.

It's almost impossible for this to happen to a normal bluece.

However, since the appearance of this girl, Bruce, who has behaved a little abnormally, is so reckless, and his fleshy lips are firm and pia to the back of someone's hand.

Even with a layer of white silk fabric, Philip assured that the temperature on his lips would be felt.

Sure enough, the girl's goose egg face turned red instantly, and her big eyes seemed to be filled with surprise and anger.

Bruce also realized what he had done in a trance, but he didn't know how to explain it in a hurry, and he was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he was stunned.

But he was still firmly holding the hand of the girl, and he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go.

Philip patted his forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to save the driver.

Brother, in addition to stabbing him twice, he has to be on top at the critical moment.

He took half a step forward, took the girl's hand, bowed down and kissed the back of the other's hand, and slowly introduced himself in a soft voice with a hint of hoarseness, and warmly expressed his welcome and honor.

Fortunately, there was an endless stream of guests at the door, and the sound of music playing in the hall and the sound of the crowd talking made the environment a little noisy, and the girl's parents were too busy greeting to notice what was happening between the children.

Maybe it's because of the harmless smile on Philip's face, I have to say that his eyes as pure and deep as the starry sky are really deceptive at times.

The plump girl glared angrily at the dumb Bruce, smiled politely at Philip before following in her parents' footsteps.

Philip said to his father, Matthew, who was in front of him, and pulled the dejected Bruce to hide in the corner behind the door.

"My dear cousin, what's wrong with you?" Philip's teasing voice exploded in Bruce's ears, his eyes full of curiosity, and his tone full of teasing.

Bruce came to his senses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his expression was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to look up at his cousin.

Philip leaned into his ear and whispered, "The girl you told me last time is her." ”

Bruce didn't pay attention to the distinction at all, and Philip's grammar used affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

"yes, yes, oh no, when did I tell you about Jennifer?" Bruce was like a big cat with its tail stepped on, and his fur was all up.

"Oh, it turned out to be Jennifer, what a beautiful name, isn't it, my dear cousin.

Now while it's still early, you honestly explain, what is the situation between you and this beautiful girl?

I warn you, don't wait until my curiosity is really piqued, it's too late. ”

Bruce felt like a viper spitting letters, his cold, sticky tongue crawling around his neck, trying to dig out the secrets of his heart.

This kid is terrible, Bruce shuddered.

No, where is Yun'er, only she can easily deal with Philip.

Bruce hurriedly searched for the dark-haired shadow in the crowd.

"Don't resist in vain, Yun'er will be by Bishop Cameron's side tonight. The serpent-like voice hissed again, and the sharp fangs had flipped outward, glowing with a cold blue glow.

"Jennifer, her name is Jennifer Rensard, and she is the daughter of the Councillor. The Renzaard family is very influential in the city of Gaucan, and has held the right to review the armament budgets of several major legions for generations.

It's a pity that in his generation, he married two ladies, and three or four lovers, and only in his 50s did he have such a daughter, which he regarded as a treasure. Bruce decisively gave up resistance, crackling and saying a lot of things.

"Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of a big man, and she was the right person. But you didn't do well tonight, and you scared her out, and I'm afraid you'd make a bad impression on her.

I have to say, my cousin, you've really let me down.

You only told me today that I trust you so much that I don't hide anything from you. Philip shook his head, his tone lost.

"Don't hide anything from me?" and what do you say about going to Wesley in private?" Bruce relented a little and retorted decisively.

"Ahem. Philip didn't expect the newspaper to be so fast, and he was a little embarrassed, but he quickly came up with an excuse.

"It just happened to be that day, I was going to tell you tonight. You can see how busy I have been lately, and I haven't had a chance to see you. ”

"......" Bruce always felt that something was wrong, but on the surface, Philip's reason was unassailable.

Philip hurriedly changed the subject.

"My dear cousin Bruce, you've been terrible tonight. At this time, you have to believe me and say what is in your heart, so that I can help you, don't you? ”

Bruce felt that the white-gold viper with blue eyes in front of him had pierced his poisonous fangs into his neck, and the venom gradually flowed all over his body along the blood vessels, making him feel cold and numb.

Philip put his arm around Bruce's shoulders with a hippie smile, blinked wide-eyed, and smiled: "Bruce, speak up, speak up." ”

Bruce was hugged tightly by his cousin, not to mention that this kid is really strong now, if he doesn't work hard, he may not be able to break free.

He looked at Philip for a long time before he sighed as if he had given up, and hid his thoughts for more than a year, and said it all like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Not to mention, it is not easy for a 17-year-old boy to hide a crush, and it is much easier to have a chance to share it with others.

It turned out that he fell in love with the silver-haired Jennifer at first sight at a choir competition between colleges last year.

In Bruce's words, he had never felt this way, as magical as the Mother Earth goddess Gaia had engraved the other party's face directly into his heart.

Ever since that meeting, he has often thought of each other.

Jennifer wore a white gown that day, standing in the middle of the auditorium, singing praises to the Four Masters of Gaokan City for fighting bravely and defending their home and country.

The other party's tall and plump figure, goose-egg-shaped face, beautiful singing voice and elegant temperament all teased his heart.

Oh, it turned out to be a bitter unrequited love, Philip sneered disdainfully.

According to Bruce, the other side had no idea what he was thinking.
