CHAPTER XV. Cinderella
When I got closer, I realized that the gate was not actually closed, leaving a wide distance to enter and exit.
I was standing in the doorway and heard cheerful music coming from inside. I stopped and took a deep breath, I had never been to such a grand gathering, and I couldn't help but get nervous.
Yuan Xiaorong was about to enter with Sister Lin, and I was still a meter away.
"Xiaoxiao, come in." Yuan Xiaorong's face couldn't hide the excitement.
I took a deep breath again, calmed my mind, and nodded to encourage myself: "Long Xiaoxiao, you can do it, don't be weak-minded, no one knows you anyway, whether it's embarrassing or long-faced, you should see the world." ”
Thinking about it, I took a small trembling step.
When I approached the gate, I was stunned, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I was stunned.
The space was as big as a stadium and as high as a three-story building. Standing in such a place, I feel like I'm getting small.
The ceiling of the ballroom is decorated with various colored lights, and the surrounding walls are covered with Christmas and New Year decorations. In the middle of the hall there is a row of cakes, fruits, drinks and drinks. Directly ahead, there is also a huge stage.
I dazzled and followed Sister Lin through the crowd, surrounded by men and women in formal clothes. Suits and long dresses, everyone makes me feel amazing.
Is this a ball held by a prince in a fairy tale? I began to fantasize that I was the girl named Cinderella. I looked down at my shoes, and it was terrible, such a beautiful outfit, but my ugly old shoes were on my feet.
I suddenly felt sad in my heart, who could give me a pair of crystal slippers? I pulled the hem of my skirt forward with my hands, trying to hide the ugliness of my shoes as much as possible.
Actually, the skirt was quite long, just up to my ankles, and it didn't cover the awkward shoes.
I looked forward and looked at Yuan Xiaorong, she seemed to be prepared, wearing a pair of beautiful white boots, and the skirt she chose was a short red plaid skirt, which matched just right.
Sister Lin doesn't need to look at it, she must have been prepared and matched properly.
It's just me, it's so incongruous.
My mood sank quickly, and because of this pair of untimely shoes, I suddenly felt out of this time and space, and the whole person was already floating in outer space.
Everything in front of me was in a trance, I couldn't see the faces of the people walking by, blurred, and I couldn't hear the cheerful music in my ears. Even a familiar face appeared in front of me, and I walked silently unconsciously.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and said, "Oops. "I suddenly woke up from my own blurred world.
"Huh? Brother Liu Wei, you, when did you come? Liu Wei in front of him was wearing a dark blue suit, with a cute lilac bow tie at the neckline, his hair was specially groomed, and the watch on his wrist was particularly exquisite.
Before I could look at his whole body, he was already crouching on the ground and taking off my shoes with his hands.
As if I had been struck by lightning, I dodged back with lightning speed, and my face turned red to the root of my ears.
I'm so embarrassed how can I get a guy to take off my shoes, and besides, it's still such ugly shoes! The most important thing is that Liu Wei is really handsome, so handsome! Do I suddenly feel like I'm usually blind? Such a handsome guy, can I ignore it?
Liu Wei stood up, with a wicked smile on his face that was rarely seen on weekdays.
He looked at me and didn't speak, so I had to take the initiative to speak: "Brother Liu Weiwei, you, you, um, I know, I'm embarrassed to look like this...... But I, I'm ......"
I said a bunch of incoherent words, Liu Wei kept laughing like this, and I didn't know what to say after listening to me.
I panicked, he bent over, and I saw a shoebox at his feet. He opened the box and handed me the shoes inside.
"You're embarrassed to ask me to help you, then you can come by yourself, these shoes and skirts are more compatible, I'll wait for you over there." As he spoke, he pointed to the front, and I saw that Yuan Xiaorong and Sister Lin had been far away from me at some point.
I nodded and watched him turn away before I breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh mom, it scared me to death! I'm really not angry, I'm afraid of a fart, isn't he just a handsome guy? Really! I know I don't like him, why don't I get nervous every time I see him handsome! It's so uncompromising!
While blaming myself in my heart, I took these beautiful shoes to an inconspicuous place on the side and put my old shoes in a shoebox.
I'm wondering if I'm going to take the box to the fitting room outside the ballroom? A polite gentleman whispered to me, "Hello, I'll help you put this away, okay?" ”
I saw a name tag hanging on his chest that read: Banquet Supervisor: Bill. It turned out to be an employee in the hotel, I was relieved to give him the shoe box, said thank you to him, and he left very politely.
I looked at my bare feet and slowly reached into my shoes. This is a pair of lilac flat leather shoes, with a shiny jewel-like thing in the middle, shining brightly, making this originally plain style of shoes instantly unusual.
It feels soft on my feet, not at all like the leather shoes I usually wear, which are stiff. Also, I was surprised that the shoes were the perfect size.
I tried walking a few steps in my new shoes and wow, it's really good, it's really, really, really good! Soft and comfortable.
Lilac skirt, lilac shoes, is it such a coincidence? Liu Wei's lilac bow tie on his collar? Could it be that they arranged it all in advance?
I can't take care of so much, with these shoes, my previous inferiority complex was swept away, and I happily walked in the direction pointed by Liu Weigang.
With a smile on my face, I walked through the crowd like a princess walking towards her prince in the limelight. I'm thinking about it again, haha.
"Xiaoxiao, come on, there are a lot of delicious cakes here." Yuan Xiaorong's cry brought me back to reality from my dreams.
I turned my head to look, and sure enough, oh my God, all kinds of cakes were placed in front of me, and I cooed, swallowing silently.
"Xiaoxiao, you can take whatever you want to eat, it's okay." Sister Lin said to me with a smile.
I endured my hunger, pretended to be reserved, nodded and said, "I just ate too much, I can't eat anymore." ”
"Xiaoxiao, I deliberately didn't order too many dishes just now, just to save your stomach to come over and eat the cake, there is also your favorite ice cream over there, eat it, now you are polite to be sorry for yourself." Sister Lin said, reaching out and taking a cookie coated with strawberry jam and handing it to me.
Without hesitation, I took it and stuffed it into my mouth.
When the cookies melted in my mouth, I completely forgot to keep my image and just enjoy the delicious moment. My eyes couldn't help but scan the cake, searching for the next target.
The cakes here are all very small, and I guess with my appetite I can eat about twenty pieces without a problem.
"Xiaoxiao, you try this, it's so delicious." Yuan Xiaorong pointed to a plate of cake called "Napoleon", and I ate a piece of it curiously.
It's the best I've ever tasted, it doesn't seem to be a good way to call a cake, it's not a cake that's soft, it's very rich, I love it so much!
