Chapter 426: Reminiscence

To the ears of some men, this kind of sound of pinching the throat and turning eighteen big bends is "feminine". But Ellie, Mia and Yumi, even including Su Wen, only felt that this contrived voice simply made their spines tingle!

Yumi rolled her eyes fiercely, let out a breath of resentful air through her nose, turned her head, put on a kind smile when she met an acquaintance, and greeted the woman who was chasing her.

"Ahh It's you. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. Julie. ”

Obviously, Yumi is not very good at socializing, so this is the most appropriate way for her to deal with it, but it is too stiff. In addition to the stiffness of his tone, Yumi's expression was also as if he had accidentally fallen into the pit and received another breath of frost, smelly and cold.

As a classmate, Julie seemed to have a clear understanding of Yumi's character, and did not show any mindful expression, but smiled: "Yes, yes, I was watching in the hall just now, I felt a little like you, chased it out and took a look, it was really you! I haven't seen Yumi for a long time! You haven't changed! It's still the same as when I was in the academy!"

Julie's sentence did not mention the word Morpheus to gild herself, but ignored these three words to show her "modesty". However, Julie obviously knew that Yumi and his party stayed in front of the Morpheus Hotel for a while, obviously knowing that they were in the Morpheus Hotel, but no one pointed out this problem.

The latter sentence is mixed with some congratulatory ridicule.

The Julie in front of her, although she is Yumi's classmate, is much more mature than Yumi from her appearance. Whether it's a well-groomed fashionable hairstyle, a high-end outerwear with a unique pattern, or a sparkling piece of jewelry on your fingers, earlobes, and neck, all of them are things that prove your "high" status.

Compared to Yumi at first glance, he is completely a person from two worlds.

So Julie's implication is that she hasn't seen her for so long, she has changed a lot, and even "entered the upper class", and Yumi is still a poor student when she was studying.

"yes. Yumi tugged at the corners of her mouth and squeezed out a "friendly" smile.

"Eh, these are...... Are you friends?, are you visiting the royal city?" Julie said before turning her attention to Ellie and Mia next to Yumi.

When Yumi was in the academy, she was always alone, and now that she has a companion, Julie will naturally be a little surprised. Originally, Julie thought that Yumi's companions should be the same as Yumi in her impression, all of whom were taciturn nerds, but after seeing Ellie, Julie actually had a trace of jealousy in her heart.

Yes, jealousy.

It's a long-lost word for Julie.

When she was young and beautiful, she had already entered her so-called "high society", and after a long time, Julie felt that she was the object of envy of others. But now, it's the other way around!?

This little girl...... Who is it!?

Even though she was already hostile to Ellie in her heart, reason kept Julie quiet and continued to carry out the "perfect" social activities.

"yes, we're friends with Yumi, my name is Mia and her name is Ellie. Mia leaned a little closer, stood next to Yumi, and said with a smile, "Yumi, is this your classmate?

Of the three, only Mia is still able to socialize normally.

"It's ...... Well, Julie, my classmate from Imperial College. It's Mia, it's Ellie......" Yumi followed Mia's guidance and said.

Yumi didn't seem to want to have too much interaction with Julie in front of her, so she didn't give a detailed introduction.

"Oh, hello, hello. ”

"It's a blessing. ”

Socializing among women is very particular, especially when there are people on the street. But no matter what the situation is, comparison is an important theme between them.

Under a look, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Julie who won.

Appearance, clothing, shoes, accessories, perfumes, hairstyles, makeup...... Regardless of which item, in the eyes of women, there is a ruler.

In fact, this comparison is of no bird use.

The only effect that can be played is to make the parties have a sense of superiority of "Ah, I live better than the other party, the other party must be very envious of me, hahaha".

But this sense of superiority has become something that most people are pursuing. Although it is very distorted, it is a real phenomenon in this royal city.

Not only women, but also men, such comparisons abound, just referring to the project, becoming something else. For example, net worth, career, strength......

After a few more words, Julie's speech began to show her fox tail.

Very normal social rhetoric has become an excuse for Julie to quietly show off her identity and status at this time, and when the three people who have not been exposed to these things hear it, they can only smile and nod their heads.

"Ah, I only came from Oliver Hill last week, and I happened to be in a crowd on the holiday, and I was stuck in traffic for a long time! ”

Keywords: Oliver Hills, a car that has everything.

"Well, actually, I don't often live here, there is a Bally's business cocktail party tonight, so I came over, I usually live in the East Side, not far away, on Third Avenue. ”

Keywords: Bally's commercial reception, living on Third Avenue.

Inadvertently adding some key information that sounds lofty to an inconsequential sentence is one of the means by which most people gain a "low-key sense of superiority".

Most people who know the rules of social interaction know what it means. But for someone like Ellie, it's not that effective.

"Oh, we just arrived today, wow, my butt hurts all the way to ride a horse, and it's blocked!

"Well, we still have to find a hotel, and the one just now still needs members, so it's really troublesome. ”

"Speaking of which, the consumption in this royal city is really high, and it is expensive to eat a little bit at noon. ”

Poverty is revealed in the words.

Poof.

Julie held back a mocking smile and listened quietly to Ellie's speech.

This little girl looks terrible, but as a result, isn't she still a dirt bun! The little girl is not sensible, so those who know you, at this time, it should be very embarrassing, right?

Thinking like this, Julie glanced at Mia and Yumi next to her.

However, the expressions of the two were not the embarrassment that Julie imagined, but a very ordinary and natural look.

Eh, what's the situation? Aren't you either embarrassed? Obviously, you know "etiquette" very well just now......

"Uh, acquaintance?"

Su Wen, who was walking in front, finally found that the three of them had stopped after a while, so he turned back and asked.

"Yes. ”

"Oh, this is ......" Julie stared at Su Wen, her eyes lit up, and then she looked at Yumi, her eyes curved into a crescent moon, with an obvious smile, she pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then teased: "...... Is your boyfriend?"

Whether it is a boyfriend or not, Su Wen's appearance is a pleasant surprise to Julie.

After all, the young man in front of him, in addition to looking like a foreigner, looked ordinary all over his body. Even if the clothes on his body are branded, they still can't hide the ordinary aura on Su Wen's body.

"Ordinary Boyfriend" is a weapon that can be used to taunt Yumi, and it is simply a purple quality weapon!

Yes, ordinary.

From head to toe, Julie did not find the slightest trace of the qualities possessed by the so-called "excellent youth". Such as sharpness, such as self-confidence, such as elegance......

There is no such thing as a person who has no character at all. But in the surprise, of course, Julie subconsciously ignored it, and she didn't find any "flaws" from Su Wen at all.

"No, it's not ......" Yumi was stunned and quickly denied it.

This confusion is simply the perfect handle left for Julie. Even if the two really don't have that kind of relationship, judging from Yumi's reaction, they will be somewhat regarded as interesting.

In the face of such a problem, the best way to resolve it is to deny it with a calm attitude.

"Wow, you still say no, introduce me?"

Su Wen sighed silently.

Not long ago, these people were still anxious about what to do if the latent Ancient Demon Cultists moved, and now, it is also a big heart to waste time here for this useless socialization......

"Hello, my name is Su Wen. ”

Su Wen also stepped forward, ready to end this conversation quickly.

"Oh, hello, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you~" Julie smiled and stretched out her hand, wanting to shake hands to show Su Wen, and by the way, show the sparkling jewelry in her hand.

Ninety percent of men are unable to tell whether a female friend (including a girlfriend) is a real friend or a superficial sister when they meet for the first time.

Therefore, Julie is confident that as long as she behaves enthusiastically, the ordinary man in front of her will also not be able to distinguish her relationship with Yumi.

But that's not the case at all.

Before Julie chased after her, Yumi had told them that she had just seen a classmate who had a big headache. And Su Wen, although he was walking in front, also heard Yumi's words.

"Hello. Su Wen also stretched out his hand, shook it gently, and then let go: "Actually, I'm not Yumi's boyfriend." ”

Julie was slightly stunned, because Su Wen's refusal was too crisp. However, Julie still gave an ambiguous look of "I understand".

Such a look would make Yumi, as the person concerned, feel uncomfortable at the time, and later, it would also make Yumi hate Julie even more. However, what Julie needs is not whether Yumi likes herself or not in the future, as long as she can make Yumi uncomfortable, Julie will feel very happy.

"What's wrong, dear?"

A male voice sounded next to them. This dear, called, is naturally Julie.

The voice was made by a young man who had stood next to him at some point.

The man wears a high-end coat, and although he does not have so much jewelry, the leather strap looming on his wrist and the jeweled cufflinks that match the belt around his waist also indicate his identity.

In addition, ten meters away, there was a strong man standing like a cedar, who was also watching this side, judging from the way he was dressed, he should be a bodyguard.

Obviously, this person is a son.

In the royal city, the ground is full of sons and eldest ladies.

Compared with them, Rosen Barlot and others, who are the sons of the duke, are not as delicate as the prince in front of them.

"Oh, it's nothing, I've seen my old classmates, let's catch up. Julie turned her head and smiled coquettishly, took the young man's arm, and explained to him. After a pause, Julie introduced the two sides to each other again.

In this kind of social networking, Julie is a person who knows how to measure, so she did not reveal the identity of the young man in detail, but simply introduced the name of the young man and the identity of "her fiancé".

For Julie's "low profile", a young man named Jimmy is also quite satisfied.

Jimmy's appearance is actually something that Julie has planned. Because she knows that after she can't see herself for more than a certain amount of time, her fiancé will definitely chase after her and look for her traces.

Now, in addition to the comparison between himself and Yumi, there is also a comparison between the "fiancé" and the male friends around the other party, and the sense of superiority obtained from the gap has suddenly become two!

No matter how you think about it, it's all cost-effective! Moreover, the superiority of this second copy is much more valuable than the first one!

Jimmy was very literate and talked a few words with Su Wen, and the content of the chat was also a popular topic among the young people in Wangcheng recently, but Su Wen's ignorant answer made him a little disappointed.

Therefore, Jimmy also despised Su Wen a little more.

"By the way, I don't know where you are in high school, Brother Su Wen, if you have a chance in the future, contact ...... more" Jimmy threw out a polite remark, wanting to end this social meeting that was a bit of a waste of time for him.

"Well, in Imperial College, it's a teacher......"

Imperial College Teacher!!

Jimmy suddenly put away his disdain.

His fiancée is a graduate of Imperial College. Jimmy also knows that Yumi, his fiancée's classmate, is an administrator of the Imperial College library, so it is only natural that these people are employees of the Imperial College?

No wonder, if you are in College Town, how can you know about the affairs of Wangcheng......

Jimmy still has a lot of respect for teachers, especially those at Imperial College.

Teacher of Imperial College......

After learning the news, Julie felt as if she had eaten a fly. Counterpart...... It doesn't seem to be as unbearable as I thought......

"I didn't expect Brother Su Wen to be still a teacher! Disrespectful! So Brother Su Wen, which academy and which department is it?" Jimmy's question was a little abrupt, but he really didn't want to let go of the opportunity to meet a working Imperial Academy teacher.

"Uh...... Academy?department?" Su Wen was stunned.

Eh...... Why was he stunned, could he ...... Is it a lie?

Su Wen was stunned, so that Jimmy and Julie were also stunned together.

"Mia, which academy and department are we in?" Su Wen turned his head and asked Mia.

"I'm seconded to you on a temporary basis from Calamus Academy, and your combat practice class doesn't belong to the academy department...... It should be directly under the college, but in the next semester, I heard from the secretary's sister that the dean should set up a special department. ”

"Looks like there's something going on......"

Su Wen turned his face away, ready to say a few more perfunctory words to Jimmy, and then slipped away.

“...... Wait a minute. There was a hint of shock on Jimmy's face: "You mean...... Combat practice class ......!?Oh, yes...... Professor Su Wen...... Su Wen...... ......"

"Wow, when did you become a professor!?" Ellie looked surprised: "Then can I mix a class under you next semester!?"

"Don't even think about it!"

This Yumi...... I actually met a teacher from the Imperial Academy? But why...... Jimmy's appearance is a little unsettled!??...... This Professor Su Wen ...... Big deal?

The sense of superiority that Julie had just gained was replaced in an instant by a full stomach full of doubts.

The joy of superiority was lost before I had time to taste it. What fills the void is only for a while, and the emptiness that comes from the depths of my heart is even more empty than before she met Yumi, an old classmate who is "not as good as her......
