Chapter 37: The Pitcher Game
I don't know if it's because of Sima Yi's suggestion just now, when Xia Xiaoxi appeared in front of everyone again, she changed into a pale pink lace dress, coupled with a pair of bright eyes and a platinum diamond crown on her head, she looked like a luxurious little princess, which attracted the attention of many guests present.
Waiting for Xia Xiaoxi to go downstairs, followed by a middle-aged man with a majestic face, he was wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, a shiny slanted head, and a very decent beige suit, which looked like a standard successful person.
His name is Xia Guangming, he is Xia Xiaoxi's father, and he is the third in the Xia family.
As the head of the family, he will be the sole authority to preside over tonight's banquet.
"Ahem~"
"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to the coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl, and on behalf of our family of three, I would like to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of you. ”
As Xia Guangming finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the audience.
After a pause, he continued, "I know that there are a lot of young talents here today, some of them may be Xiaoxi's friends, but some of them want to take this opportunity to make friends with our Xiaoxi, I want to say that no matter which one it is, our Xia family is welcome, and you can all participate in the next small game." ”
"In order not to let everyone run in vain, I hereby promise that if the winner wins, he or she will get a week of alone time with the creek. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly boiled like a boiling pot.
For a behemoth like the Xia family, except for the other three major forces in the blue ocean, everyone else who was present wanted to have a relationship with each other.
Of course, this is also the purpose for which many people are invited to come today.
Aside from this, although Xia Xiaoxi is very beautiful, the blue ocean is so big, and there are many people who can be at the same level as her or stronger than her in appearance, and they have similar appearances, so there is really no need to find a big lady with a temper.
But if you can climb the big tree of the Xia family, then it will definitely be smooth sailing in the blue ocean in the future.
became the CEO, married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of life.
Noticing the many young people who were eager to try, Xia Guangming raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, while two waiters stepped forward with a vase and placed it in the center of the hall.
The vase is half a meter high, the mouth of the bottle is about the size of an adult's fist, and the appearance is depicted with delicate patterns, which is not ordinary at first glance.
The attendants who followed each carried a tray full of red roses, some of which had a little drop of water, as if they had just been plucked.
Under the puzzled gaze of many people, Xia Guangming casually picked up a rose and threw it towards the vase, but this time the power may be a little great, and the red rose fell behind it over the vase.
"Ahem, everyone has also seen, the rules of the game are very simple, each person stands three meters away from the vase, there are five chances, and whoever throws the most roses is the winner of this game. ”
After the words fell, Xia Guangming set his eyes on a young man in a burgundy suit in the crowd, and the other party noticed Xia Guangming's gaze, and also showed a knowing smile to him.
At this moment, Xu Han looked at Sima Yi, who was confident, and instantly had a feeling of sudden realization, no wonder this kid recently bought some fake flowers and threw them around in the dormitory, and also found some pitching videos from the Internet to watch and study repeatedly.
After the rules were announced, the game started quickly, because the shape of the roses was not very standard, and the vase mouth was too small, although it was only three meters apart, more than a dozen boys in a row voted more than 70 times, and only three roses were thrown.
"I'll try. ”
Seeing that no one stepped forward for a while, the man in the burgundy suit walked out of the crowd, he casually took the five roses handed over by the waiter, threw all five roses in just ten seconds, and successfully threw four roses.
As if he didn't expect his mistake, the man frowned at a rose lying on the ground, but when he thought that the best result of others was just throwing a stick, he breathed a sigh of relief and put a smile on his face again.
"How did Chen Fei vote so accurately, deceitful people. ”
"Heh, do you know why I didn't participate, it's not because Xia Xiaoxi is not beautiful, but because my eyes have seen too much. One of the boys said, gesturing to his eyes.
"I've also heard that this Xia family actually had plans to form an alliance with the Chen family for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be used in this way. ”
"Political marriage? ”
Listening to the discussion in the field, Xia Guangming's face did not change, he did not stop it, but acquiesced, and even gave Chen Fei a positive look.
On the other hand, Xu Han saw all this in his eyes, no wonder Sima Yi would be slumped after the party in his previous life, it was obvious that he had not started to fall in love, but he had been vetoed by his future father-in-law.
"Can it work?" Xu Han cast an inquiring look at Sima Yi.
"O**K!" smiled confidently, and Sima Yi walked out.
Originally, seeing that no one stepped forward for a long time, Xia Guangming just wanted to announce the results of the game, but suddenly Sima Yi walked out, making Xia Guangming's face change slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"I said Xiao Yi, now is not the time to play around, you also know that Xiaoxi has always treated you as an elder brother, and it doesn't make sense for you to participate in this game, right?"
"But ......"
"Ahem~ Then I will announce the results of the game now, after the ...... just now"
"Uncle Xia, let me try, it won't take much time, just give me ten seconds. ”
Interrupted by Sima Yi, Xia Guangming frowned, he felt that he had expressed it very clearly just now, as long as Sima Yi was not a fool, he would definitely be able to hear what he was saying.
But as a result, he openly disobeyed his will?
Or is it pretending to be confused?
Because Sima Yi is usually very close to Xia Xiaoxi, Xia Guangming can be said to be very clear about the relationship between the two as a father, but after all, the other party is his daughter's savior, and he is not good at driving people directly, so he will not object to the meeting between the two, but he will never advocate it.
And Sima Yi's actions this time made him feel that his previous self was still too benevolent.
"Of course you can try, but Xiao Yi, you have to understand one thing before participating, this has always been a good thing for the whole world, so there are some illusory things, you better not think about it. ”
His eyes shrank slightly, and Xia Guangming continued, "Otherwise, the relationship will be very stiff in the end, and it will not be good if you can't get off the stage at that time." ”
"Dad, what are you talking about, my life was saved by Brother Yi, how can you, as an elder, say such a thing!" Xia Xiaoxi said almost subconsciously, she first looked at Sima Yi, and after seeing Sima Yi's overwhelmed expression, she hurriedly walked towards him, and threw Xia Guangming's advice that the two were not allowed to get too close before the banquet directly to the back of the clouds.
"What children know, Dad, it's all for your good. ”
first glared at Xia Xiaoxi, and under the gesture of his eyes, two waiters stepped forward and stopped Xia Xiaoxi.
Turning his gaze to Sima Yi again, Xia Guangming showed a meaningful smile on his face, "The words have been made very clear, if you don't participate, you will still be Xiaoxi's good brother in the future, and our family will always welcome you, but if you participate, you have to think clearly about what the consequences will be." ”
"I ......" didn't seem to expect that Uncle Xia, who was usually amiable, would be so unkind to him, and Sima Yi couldn't react for a while.
Words such as "the right person" and "can't get off the stage" have been echoing in his mind, making the confident smile on his face gradually disappear, leaving only a bitter face.
"Is that really the case?"
After hesitating for about half a minute, Sima Yi bowed his head deeply throughout the whole process, looking very lonely.
"Okay, I'll ...... it"
"Slowly, since it was not explained before who was not allowed to participate, how could there be a reason not to participate, he didn't plan to give up, he must participate in this game. ”
At the critical moment, a faint voice came from Sima Yi's side.
