I've heard a saying in the past, it's not that the game is not fun, it's that there is no one to help you. It's not that you're out of excitement when you play, it's that there's no one to pass the ball to you. It's not that youth has gone away, but that you can't meet those people in youth anymore.

In fact, it is said that our state of mind has changed. But for Michelle, the eighteen-year-old cardamom is like a flower about to bloom, although it looks ordinary, but fate finally changed on this day.

She walked out of the subway, wearing a red coat that was not expensive but beautiful, and wrapped around a scarf woven by her mother, which was very warm. It's also very comfortable. After taking a breath, I just received a phone call saying that Ye Shanshan would come to Shanghai tonight and ask her to meet. In order to go out at night, she also lied to her parents, saying that she was going to go to a cram school with her friends to take extra classes, and she had never deceived people much when she was so old. Fortunately, there was no stuttering at the time, and there was no blushing.

Take a breath and rub your hands, the weather in Shanghai is really starting to get colder, and it will be Christmas in a few days, last Christmas, Michelle received several love letters in her first year of high school, and of course there were a lot of flowers and chocolates, but she didn't like to eat too sweet chocolates, and in the end they were cheaper than her friends.

Walking across the pedestrian crossing line, the place to meet is the VIP banquet hall of the Shanghai Hilton Hotel, but it is not the first time she has come to such a high-end place, when Ye Shanshan was still living in Shanghai, her father would hold a birthday party for Ye Shanshan in this high-end place, and Mi Xue, who is Ye Shanshan's good friend, will sit in Ye Shanshan's limousine every time and come to this kind of place to eat and drink together.

Until today. Mi Xue's mother often talks about Ye Shanshan, saying that if Ye Shanshan is still in Shanghai, their Mi Xue doesn't have to study so hard, she just needs Ye Shanshan's father to say hello, what school can't she get into? Or follow Ye Shanshan to study abroad, Oxbridge, and her daughter will be a top student when she comes out in the future.

Walking to the door of the hotel, the door was parked with luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz Land Rover, the doorman glanced at her, the salary of the doorman who pulled the door in this kind of place was not low, and the eyes were very poisonous, and he could see that Michelle was dressed in general, so he didn't even mean to pull the door.

Michelle walked in by herself and walked timidly to the front desk, and the front desk manager asked politely, "Miss, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"Me. I would like to ask what floor is the VIP ballroom on? ”

Hearing Michelle's words, the front desk manager frowned slightly, such a young girl was going to the VIP banquet hall when she opened her mouth, which surprised him.

"Miss, the VIP banquet hall has been booked today, if you are here for dinner. Then the VIP Ballroom Hilton Window is on the 40th floor. ”

The other party replied politely, Michelle nodded and turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the manager behind her remind: "Miss, please allow me to remind you that before entering the Hilton window, you had better change your clothes, and it would be better to dress a little more formally." ”

Mi Xue's little face was slightly red, she didn't have this concept when she was a child in the past, she hadn't been to such a high-end place in the years since Ye Shanshan left, as a sophomore in high school, she was not a rich second generation, there must be no good clothes in the closet, this set is actually quite beautiful, but it is really not formal enough.

She walked into the elevator and went all the way to the 40th floor, where the Hilton, one of the world's largest five-star hotels, had been located in Shanghai for many years, with luxurious facilities and rich people everywhere. The elevator stopped on the forty floors, and it seemed to be bustling inside. Able to hear the jumble of conversation and melodious music, she pinched her scarf and stepped out of the elevator. The carpet was very thick, so I couldn't hear my footsteps, and a man in a black suit and bow tie walked over, looked at her and said, "Miss, those who are not in good clothes are not allowed to enter, and today is a private banquet, do you have an invitation?" ”

I came after receiving a call, and there was no invitation at all, Mi Xue, who was stunned, shook her head, and the doorman shook her head and said, "Since that's the case, you can't go in." ”

Michelle took a few steps back, a little embarrassed, but she was at a loss in the face of such a situation, she was just an ordinary high school student, pinched her scarf, bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry ......"

When she was about to walk back, a hand was placed on her shoulder, and she looked back in surprise to see me in a black suit, and in my opinion, Michelle's memory should have been erased, so she shouldn't know me at this time.

"This young lady is here with me."

I took her arm and took a few steps forward, not looking at her face at all.

"Please show me your invitation."

The doorman looked at us in surprise. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I didn't have an invitation, I got a call." ”

"Sorry, you can't enter without an invitation."

The doorman showed a funny expression when he said this, my face did not change, he tapped his throat lightly, and said in a loud voice: "Ye Shanshan, I came to your appointment, but you didn't let me in, what do you mean?" ”

The sound is not loud in the ears of mortals, but it will be amplified several times when it falls in the ears of cultivators, and the doorman frowned, and was about to remind me that I should not shout, when the black door in front of me suddenly opened! The light came out from the door of the banquet hall, shining on my and Mi Xue's faces, brilliant light, crystal chandeliers, Mi Xue raised her head and looked at the dreamlike scene in front of her, she was never the protagonist, because there was no Ye Shanshan's family background, no Lin Yali's beauty, so no one ever paid attention to her, her birthday was always spent at home, her mother would cook a table of dishes, and her father would come back with a six-inch cake. is not like Ye Shanshan, a luxurious private club, obviously it is just a small birthday, but the cake is as high as three layers. But she has always been content, even relaxed, because at least she still has cake to eat, at least she has her parents by her side.

Even in the days when Ye Shanshan went to Beijing and Lin Yali disappeared, she was very relaxed. Because finally no one would describe her in such words.

"Isn't that Ye Shanshan's friend?" "Isn't that the female classmate who has been on the street with Lin Yali?" "Who's that? I can't name it. ”

Yes, she will always be the friend, the female classmate, the person who can't be named.

But after they left, she could finally no longer enter these brilliant worlds that did not belong to her, and finally she no longer had to be the shadow of others, she was very relaxed, even if she only ate the food cooked by her mother, even if there was only a six-inch cake, even if she could never afford thousands of clothes, but she lived very happily.

But when the light in the banquet hall shone on her face, it seemed as if the old time had come back again? She suddenly became afraid, she didn't want to become someone else's shadow again, she didn't want to become anonymous again, she wanted to escape, and began to retreat.

I looked back in surprise and met Michelle's eyes, and at this moment, I saw the panic in her eyes, like a frightened fawn.

Without Lin Yali's bravery and Ye Shanshan's arrogance, Mi Xue, the most ordinary of the three girls I knew back then, is just an ordinary person after all.

She'll be scared, she'll be cramped, she'll be scared, because this is not the world she's familiar with.

Ye Shanshan walked out with everyone, Mi Xue pulled up the scarf, wanting to cover her face, but I stepped up and gently put my hand on her head, Mi Xue was stunned and raised her head to look at me.

With a gentle smile, I stood in the golden light of the banquet hall and whispered, "Don't be afraid, there are no man-eating tigers here." ”

Mi Xue looked at me in a daze, and then I turned around, Ye Shanshan had already walked in front of us, nodded at me and said, "Let me introduce, this is today's guest of honor, the Great Grandmaster of the Demon Vein, Wanlin Pavilion." ”

The crowd exclaimed, and the doorman hurriedly stepped aside, not daring to stand in the way. Then someone asked, "What about this girl?" ”

Ye Shanshan said with a smile: "She is my friend. ”

Without introducing the name, Ye Shanshan is used to not introducing Michelle's name, because she is just a shining shadow.

Michelle lowered her head, didn't make a sound, her eyes looked at her toes, the red leather shoes were very good-looking, but they were still stalls, worthless, not on the stage, no matter how beautiful they were, they couldn't match the logo of Hermes......

However, this time, she suddenly heard a voice say in a loud voice: "Her name is Mi Xue, Ye Shanshan, don't forget to introduce the name of the guest of honor." ”
