Chapter Twenty-Eight: Goodbye Begonia
Jiang Yan stumbled and repeated the dry etiquette knowledge in his mind, and even when he drank tea, he was terrified.
"Don't get your finger stuck in the handle, it's rude."
Jiang Yan hurriedly detached his index finger from the ring of the cup handle.
"You don't have to be so restrained...... Jiu Shan Ming looked at it and felt that Jiang Yan was a little funny, and a little pitiful, "You can do it boldly in the lounge, and it's not the dinner scene, we can still eat you?" ”
………
…
The dinner came as scheduled.
Jiang Yan was coerced and lured by Jiushan Yunsong and Jiushan Ruizhao to put on a customized tuxedo and leather shoes, his hair was neatly groomed with hair wax, and his face was properly covered with some powder.
Jiushan Yunsong put his hands on his shoulders, raised his head and admired his well-cleaned face, quite a kind of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" old father, which made Jiang Yan very stressed, and always felt that Jiushan Yunsong revealed a middle-aged eight woman temperament that was extremely inconsistent with his age.
Jiushan Ruizhao was checking his clothes for unnecessary wrinkles, and his mouth was still chattering: "Alas, if it weren't for the first time you participated in this kind of large-scale banquet, who would make you a cow and a horse here?" Not to mention, it's really people who rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and it really seems like that's the case when you take care of it like this. ”
"Really, who would have thought he was so tall when he looked so cautious like a fried sparrow?" Jiushan Yunsong sighed, "How much is one meter and nine, Jiang Yan?" Okay, white and pure, just say that he really has something to do with the young master, and I support it with both hands. ”
He patted Jiang Yan: "Okay, come with us!" This kind of dinner will not be attended by the head of the young family in public, so let's go around. ”
Before Jiang Yan left, he glanced at the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in the lounge, the man in the mirror was more than one meter nine tall, well-proportioned and thin, with a fair complexion, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and black hair was neatly pulled behind his head. He wears a blue tuxedo and a moon-white suit shirt, a black bow tie, and silver cufflinks at the cuffs. His leather shoes were oxfords with formal brogue.
Standing there, he really looked like a noble and introverted gentleman, and his temperament was very different from the past.
In the past two years, whether it is long or short, he has thought about many things clearly and has changed a lot.
………
…
He heard someone whispering: "Is he Jiang Yan?" ”
There is also an inquisitive undertone to this sentence, but it is noticeably less of the obvious, pinprick-like malice that preceded it.
He was still a little uncomfortable with the crowd, but his nervousness had subsided considerably, and he was able to smile appropriately at the people who were looking at him.
"It's not like the raunchy research weirdos in the rumors!" Some people commented, and then some people whispered in agreement.
"Rumors are short-lived, and so is the malice of following trends, people are essentially just looking for entertainment from above, and they will gradually ignore some rumors because they lose their entertainment." Jiushan Yunsong whispered beside him, "I'm looking for a girl to dance, you look at it, the young head of the family said that if you have to do it, don't ask us for help." Take your time exploring. ”
Jiang Yan forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to show that he had the illusion that he was gladly accepting.
After Jiushan Yunsong left, although many people showed great interest in Jiang Yan's mission, which only lived in the legend of the joint school, the number of people who dared to go up and invite him was zero, and everyone was watching intentionally or unintentionally, and no one wanted to be "the first person to eat crabs".
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, smiled—in fact, he didn't smile—and stretched out his hand to a lady on the side, and said gently: "Beautiful lady, do I have the honor to invite you to dance?" ”
All kinds of social dances Jiang Yan has been able to use more skillfully under the devil training of Jiushan Ming and Jiushan Yunsong in the previous two weeks, if he doesn't dance well, Jiushan Ming will punish him and Jiushan Yunsong to play a pair of dance partners, and the two of them will try their best to put on that kind of affectionate look...... Often, after a punishment, the two will not want to see each other for several days.
Jiushan Ming distinguishes himself from outsiders very clearly.
Jiang Yan's outstretched hand was answered, and the girl in the apricot-colored pearl embroidered evening dress gently put her hand on his palm, Jiang Yan gently wrapped her wrist around the lady's waist, and her palm was very considerate.
"I've heard of you, you're the hot topic of discussion this year," the girl's cheeks turned red, leaning against Jiang Yan's chest, and whispered.
"My pleasure." Jiang Yan responded, in fact, he didn't need to think about it, he knew what he was talking about, before leaving, Jiushan Yunsong told him that if he didn't know what to answer, then say "My honor", which is a universal formula.
They started dancing.
Jiang Yan followed the lady's footsteps unslowly, and the female companion danced decently—he suddenly had such an idea, perhaps he was crushed by Jiushan Ming's outstanding dancing, so that he seemed to be handy when dancing with other girls.
"You danced well, I thought you were a science and engineering man who didn't understand the amorous feelings."
Then you guessed it right. Jiang Yan thought to himself, this is indeed the case, but it has been forcibly transformed, and now it still looks a bit fake.
After dancing a song, everyone saw that although he was not so skillful in dancing, he would not make a fool of himself, and they were all a little shaken, and some hot and bold girls took the initiative to come forward and invite themselves.
Jiang Yan was squeezed by others, whether they were curious or hoping that he would be ugly, they all moved closer to him. Jiang Yan is not very enthusiastic about picking a dance partner, but it seems that if he chooses one, there will always be other people who are not very happy, and he is a little difficult. But he knew that he had to make choices, and he couldn't take everyone's eyes and feelings into account. At the moment, he really wants to find a regular dance partner, not to deliberately expect anyone, having a specific dance partner can save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Senior Jiang Yan?" When he finished the third dance, someone stopped his name, and he turned his head to see that it was the K-country student girl he had seen in the infirmary before, with curled eyelashes, painted with pink glitter, making her lips as soft and full as pudding or jelly, with accessories made of feathers and flowers pinned to her head, wearing a pink bow evening gown, and pink crystal high heels on her feet.
What's it called...... Call......
"Kim Eun-so, a freshman in medical school, is your direct student! We've talked to each other in private. Kim Eun-so Shi Shiran took the hem of her skirt and saluted, like an elegant little swan, "Can you ask a senior to be my specific dance partner?" ”
Her collarbones look particularly good, and the clavicle chain she wears makes her collarbones look even more delicate and beautiful.
I don't know why, as soon as Jiang Yan's gaze fell on her collarbone, she subconsciously thought of that id.
That [Annie's Studs].
It was a strange instinct that he didn't know if he was biased or not, and there wasn't even any evidence to back it up. But he just didn't like this girl very much at first sight, even if she looked cheerful and energetic, Jiang Yan still felt a little strange, maybe because her first impression was that she didn't follow the rules of medical school.
But it's a good thing to have a particular dance partner at the moment, at least from the time the first dance to the meal together, to the second dance and the conversation that follows, until he leaves the ball, he doesn't have to spend so much energy on the kind of socialization that he doesn't like but has to do.
He was just about to say yes, when another voice appeared behind him: "You want to change his specific dance partner, have you asked me for my consent?" ”
This voice was too familiar, Jiang Yan turned his head sharply and saw Bai Tang standing on the steps, wearing a white evening dress of embroidery heavy industry.
Her evening gown embroidered with white finches on the ground was dazzling in the light, and every feather of the bird seemed to be shining, and if you looked closely, you would find that although the wings were made of beige white thread, they were delicately decorated with delicate colored flakes.
Jiang Yan didn't know when he had Bai Tang, a specific dance partner, but he immediately reacted that this was the salvation of the Jiushan family, maybe it wasn't from Jiushan Ming's meaning, but it definitely had nothing to do with the Jiushan family.
She is also a student of the joint school?
Although Bai Tang always came to Jiushan Ming to drink tea and chat when he was at Jiushan's house, he didn't have much intersection with Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan didn't specifically inquire if she was a student of the joint school.
Bai Tang's social circle seems to be in the major of literature and history of country C, as soon as she came, some people recognized her as Bai Tang, a sophomore, Jiang Yan is about the same age as her, and she is also very commensurate according to her grade, so although this matter has not been leaked before (in fact, there is no news to be revealed), but everyone seems to think that there is no problem.
Kim Eun-so looked at Jiang Yan a little unconvinced, the implication of what she said just now was so strong, others must think that they had something, where did this woman come from?
She said softly: "Senior......"
Unexpectedly, Bai Tang raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, unceremoniously: "Will you speak with a straight tongue?" Who are you doing here? ”
Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, which scared Kim Eun-so into a thrill, and immediately pear blossom and rain stared at Jiang Yan pitifully.
However, Jiang Yan didn't quite understand what she was doing, and when he received Bai Tang's eyes, he immediately made a statement, and gently walked a few steps in the direction of Bai Tang, and distanced himself from Jin Enxiu, Bai Tang also gave face to the steps, and put his hand in Jiang Yan's palm elegantly.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly, Bai Tang had already put his other arm on his shoulder, showing an intimate appearance, looked at Jin Enxiu and said: "Senior sister, if you want to find a specific dance partner, let's find another place, besides, crying in public is still quite disturbing." ”
Kim Eun-so said suddenly: "Senior sister, why do you embarrass me?!" ”
Jiang Yan saw her crying and sobbing, soft and weak, like a frightened little white rabbit, many people around her had already developed compassion and began to comfort her softly, which was very unfavorable to Bai Tang, even if Bai Tang's tone was really tough, but after all, it was for him to relieve the siege, and because of such a thing, he cried and cried, which was too ......
Bai Tang smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to her: "I can go a little further, show me your invitation, who gave you the admission ticket?" ”
Kim Eun-so cried.
