Chen Xi looked at himself in the mirror, he was going to attend the college's freshman party tonight, and the boys had to wear evening dresses to attend, it was really troublesome, he was very unaccustomed and uncomfortable to dress so formally. He googled the detailed explanation of tie knotting, and it took more than ten minutes to barely learn it, and it didn't look particularly good, but it was finally tied, forget it, so be it.

"How can you tie your tie so ugly, are you stupid?" Lin Xueji pointed to Chen Xi's tie and said to him.

"Anyway, it's just a matter of rubbing the rice, just deal with it casually, and no one will care about me. ”

"Can you be serious? You're the only S-level among the freshmen, pay attention to your image, don't really think of yourself as a passerby, passerby Chen." ”

Lin Xueji walked up to Chen Xi and untied his ugly tie with her slender fingers.

"Hey, hey, I've been tying it for a long time, don't untie it for me again. ”

"Shut up. ”

Lin Xueji wore a flaming red dress to wrap her delicate figure, and after putting on a pair of bright silver high heels, she was about the same height as Chen Xi, her chestnut hair was slightly curly, and her face was painted with light makeup.

Chen Xi lowered her head to see her swan-like neck and delicate collarbone, and then she could see the girl's crisp breasts wrapped in most of the red dress skirt. He could smell the perfume coming from her, it was not sweet at all, it was fresh, citrus mixed with a faint floral and musky scent, like a flower from a greenhouse that had just left. He was thinking about it when he felt his neck tighten and he couldn't breathe.

"What are you looking at? Bastard. Don't stare at me with that kind of obscene look, do you hear that?" Lin Xueji grabbed Chen Xi's tie and pulled it hard, he felt like he was about to be strangled, and his tongue was about to stick out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong, please let it go. Chen Xi hurriedly raised his hand to admit defeat.

"Be honest," Lin Xueji loosened his tie when he heard this. He gasped for air.

"Well, that's fine. Lin Xueji looked at it for a while and said.

Chen Xi came to the mirror and saw himself in the mirror, which was indeed much better than what he had tied just now, with his black Givenchy private custom suit, a white shirt with lace on his chest, and a gentlemanly waistband, Lin Xueji gave him a handkerchief with a delicate silk texture. It looks elegant and gentlemanly.

The opulent banquet hall of the Zgrad Academy was adorned with elaborate golden palace lamps with slightly fluttering tassels, matched by glittering floors and low-hanging velvet red drapery. The music of the symphony orchestra echoed, and the light was not very bright. Chen Xi and Lin Xueji separated after entering the banquet hall, and he couldn't dance. He walked over to a long table covered with white cloth filled with all kinds of delicacies, picked the food, and put it on his plate.

Chen Xi found a corner where no one sat down, and he saw Lin Xueji's figure, glamorous, different from her usual, exuding the aura of a queen, easily controlling the atmosphere of the dinner. He saw many tall and handsome men around him looking at her with admiration, and someone came up to invite her to dance with her, but she politely refused.

Chen Xi retracted his gaze and set his eyes on the food piled up like a hill in front of him, whether it was the queen or the princess, it was all someone else's, all he had was charcoal-grilled deer steak and seafood pasta in front of him.

He recalls a pre-party audition in high school, when he ran into Zhuo Jun backstage, wearing a cheap black suit with a white shirt that didn't fit well. She wears a wide T-shirt with an exaggerated logo, equally wide and draggy pants, and red skate shoes. Her temperament is not suitable for such clothes at all, and there are boys and girls dressed in the same hip-hop style as her, three men and three women, just making up three pairs. Their show is hip-hop. The two looked at each other but did not speak.

"Gone, Zhuo Jun. A boy came over and took Zhuo Jun's hand and put his arm around her. She didn't show a look of resistance, she glanced back at Chen Xi, and then left, and from beginning to end, he didn't say a word to her.

Is that boy her partner or her boyfriend? When Chen Xi thought of this, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and another beast was running around with its teeth and claws, and the feeling of heartache was accompanied by a strong sourness.

Even if it's her boyfriend, what does it matter to him? He and Zhuo Jun just happened to know each other. Zhuo Jun is one of the prettiest girls in the school, and he is just an ordinary-looking passerby in the crowd.

When it was Chen Xi's turn to perform, Zhuo Jun and her team members had already left, he was standing on the stage with a messy brain, something went wrong, but it was not very serious, those judges yawned and listened to their idiotic poetry recitation, and not surprisingly, their program was brushed off.

Chen Xi couldn't recall that Zhuo Jun's show was not selected later, and he forgot all the programs at that party. That boy shouldn't be Zhuo Jun's boyfriend, and he didn't see that boy appear with Zhuo Jun again. He continued to play the role of a passerby who followed her, a passerby who was crowded into the crowd to watch her.

Some people say that people's temperament is fixed before the age of 15. Chen Xi's youth has always been passers-by, passers-by standing on the light bulb between Liang Chenfan and Tang Yueyue, and passers-by walking behind Zhuo Jun after school. Now he can't dance, he is a passer-by sitting in the corner, Chen, if he sees Lin Xueji dancing with a certain boy, he will feel jealous and uncomfortable, so he still doesn't watch it and concentrates on the food in front of him. It is obviously a delicious food cooked by the chef, but it tastes like chewing wax when it falls into the mouth.

A play has only one male lead and one female lead, plus less important characters such as male number two, and female number two has no more than ten people in total. There were about 20 sets on the stage, and there were 500 spectators in the audience. Passers-by composed of dragons and spectators together account for 98 percent, so being a passerby is not a tragic thing, but a common phenomenon.

"Can I sit here?" a voice rang in Chen Xi's ears, pulling him back to reality. He saw that the man he was talking to was a dwarf in a full golden robe with a hood.

"Please. Chen Xi replied politely.

The height of the dwarf is not high, about 1.2 meters. The body is twisted, with short legs and long hands, and a large head. He removed the hood from his head, revealing a pale corpse-like weathered face, with black hair and beard. Some areas of his face and body are covered in metallic patterns that resemble a golden hue, which looks somewhat mysterious.

The dwarf said that he wanted to sit, but in fact, he squatted directly on the chair, with his height, it would be very inconvenient to sit down, and there was a pile of food in front of him that was as tall as Chen Xi's face.

The two of them ate the food in front of them in silence and did not speak. Chen Xi has never been a very sociable person, and now his brain is a little confused, and he doesn't know what to say.

"Young man, are you sure you want to sit down and eat with me, a bad old man, and waste this beautiful ball that belongs to young people?" the dwarf was the first to break the silence between the two after biting into a piece of honey lemon cake. The gnome's voice was not the same as his ugly appearance, gentle and magnetic.

"Having dinner with Mr. Jarvis, the embodiment of wisdom, is not a waste of time, but a valuable experience to brag about with friends. Chen Xi said.

Golden dwarf Jarvis, whose name means "omniscient". The patriarch of the remnant dwarf clan, an existence equal to the status of a great sage among the human race.

"I'm not the embodiment of wisdom. But since you're willing to talk to me, I'll nag you a few words. I've been interested in you for a long time, after all, you're the only descendant of the Nether God, and you're under the special attention of Lord Quetzalcoatl. ”

"Quetzalcoatl just took me to his temple and didn't say anything to me. ”

"Quezalcoatl has lived countless years, and there are not many people who can arouse his interest, and many people who ask to see him will not be heeded, let alone received by him. Are you sure you don't want to dance, I saw that the pretty girl who came with you was very popular, and in a moment she became the dance partner of one of the boys who was there, and the guy put his arm around the girl's graceful waist, and took her by the hand, and took her in return and danced in the middle of the dance floor where music was playing. Do you want to see that?"

"No, I'd be really sad to see her dancing with someone else. Chen Xi sighed and said, he and Yalvis met for the first time, but he didn't know why he couldn't be a little wary, and directly said the words from the bottom of his heart.

"Go invite that girl and tell her you want to dance with her. ”

"But I can't dance. Chen Xi sighed again and said.

"Young people don't sigh all the time, I don't sigh much for a bad old man like me. If you like a girl, pursue her and don't think too much about it. My ugly old man once had a love of mine, do you want to hear it?" Yalvis asked.
