The students sat in small groups on comfortable low sofas, behaving elegantly and politely, savoring pastries and tea on the low coffee table in front of them.

A series of delicate and delicious desserts are placed on the table in a steady stream and in an orderly manner.

From savory to sweet, first savory sandwiches, then scones with cream, jams, and finally a variety of creative desserts.

Of course, no matter how it changes, English muffins and handmade biscuits are essential.

“…… Lady Charlotte, are you from Oxfordshire? Speaking of which, my grandfather's first girlfriend was also from Oxfordshire, and he used to tell me that the girls in Oxfordshire were very beautiful and beautiful......"

Anse El was like a peacock trying to open the screen, talking to a beautiful blonde girl.

Hall shook his head with a smile on his lips, his best friend was really clumsy and cute.

But all the Eaton boys in the room didn't seem to be much better, and on the other side, White was talking to the girls about business, talking about the popularity of mobile phones in the future, and by the way, asking if anyone had a mobile phone at home......

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually lively, Hall couldn't care about wandering from the sidelines, cheered up and scanned the audience to find a target, and finally fixed his eyes on a girl sitting by the window basking in the sun.

The girl has smooth blonde hair and blue eyes, and her face full of collagen blends with willow eyebrows and a delicate nose bridge, which has a bright beauty.

"I heard that in the Middle Ages, because the cheap porcelain cups of ordinary people could not withstand the hot tea, they first added milk at a lower temperature, and then added tea." Hall sat down across from the girl with a teacup.

The girl who was adding milk first was stunned: "It's not a clever trick to attract girls with rudeness, and the fragrance of adding milk first is stronger." ”

"First of all, I apologize to you for what you just said. I saw three men who wanted to sit in this position, and eventually they all left in embarrassment. So I can only think of another way, try to say a second sentence to you. Hall apologized.

The girl blinked: "Then you succeeded, I forgive you." After all, little boys are always at their disposal to get the attention of their ladies. ”

Hall automatically ignores sarcasm: "My name is Hugo Hall, and I don't know your name yet?" ”

"Isabella Gloucester." The girl wiped her hands with a tissue and sat up straight.

Hall was a little surprised in his heart: "Hello, Lady Windsor. ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm only 1/6 related to that Duke of Gloucester, my father is just a viscount, I'm not a royal family." Isabella replied with a slight frown.

"It's complicated to go around in European aristocratic circles," Holxin said: "Either way, I have to apologize again for my frivolity." Not because of the surname, but the etiquette after the formal acquaintance. ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been sarcastic about you, that's not what a graceful lady should do." Isabella paused, "Please forgive me for being direct, I'm not very comfortable with this kind of occasion, so ......"

Hall smiled, "I'm the same, but you have to have a partner to dance, otherwise it's rude." So I would like to extend an invitation to you. ”

“…… Okay, I accept the invitation and just dance. Isabella hesitated, but finally agreed.

Hall got up neatly: "Okay, I'll see you later, I wish you a pleasant afternoon tea time to yourself." ”

As time went on, the boys and girls were not satisfied with sitting in their seats and chatting, and kept shuttling through the halls of the villa to socialize.

White found two good friends to exchange information about the battle: "How are you going, I've already made an appointment with a dance partner." ”

That's right, it's a battle, a 50-2 elimination.

Anse El buttoned his coat at some point: "Do you want to smoke a cigarette, I feel that the air is a little stuffy." ”

"I'm going to dance in a while, and it's not good to smoke." White politely declined.

Hall glanced at the little Frenchman, "Didn't Charlotte accept your invitation?" ”

"She asked me, how many girlfriends did your grandfather have." At this time, Anse El's head kept echoing with one word - out.

Hall was speechless: "...... It's a bit stuffy here, let's go, go out and breathe. ”

The trio made their way to the back corner of the villa, where Hall and White stood by and watched the wind.

Anse El leaned against the wall separated by floor-to-ceiling windows, his head raised forty-five degrees, looking at the sky melancholy, performing the stunt of one cigarette in ten seconds, and asking questions from the depths of his soul:

"Brothers, not all French guys just put a short skirt on the water pipe and think about C, right?"

"Well, maybe most of them are, but apparently you're not." White didn't want to speak with a clear conscience, and he didn't want to hurt friendship.

Ansel looked at Hall.

Hall unconsciously avoided the longing affirmation in his eyes, and looked at the sky as he had just looked: "...... Romance to death! ”

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the floor-to-ceiling windows beside him, and Hall looked back.

I saw Isabella sitting by the window holding a blank piece of paper that read, "It's time to start." ”

Hall replied with an "OK" gesture, and was about to tell Anse El and White that a flash of light was shining in front of him.

"Ah, smoking, bad boys." A girl named Charlotte greeted with a camera in her arms.

Anse El threw away the cigarette butt: "Didn't you take a commemorative photo inside, why did you come out?" ”

"I didn't find you when I looked for you, someone said I saw you come out." Charlotte explained.

Anse El didn't know why: "You're coming to me?" ”

"Dancing, I have the task of taking commemorative photos, and I don't even have time to invite a dance partner, so I just talked to you for a while. Would you like to be my dance partner? Charlotte asked, stroking her long blonde hair.

Anse Elton blushed: "Of course, of course I do!" As a rising star, I also take on the tasks assigned by the school, such as not letting the lady ......"

"Let's go, it's about to begin." Hale couldn't bear to look at him directly, so he grabbed his shoulders and walked back.

Several people returned to the room, and all the boys and girls took their seats.

One of the teachers in charge of the event first spoke a few words, and then invited a senior pastry chef from London's Durari dessert shop.

“…… It is an honor to serve all the gentlemen and ladies who are doing it...... Whenever the bell rings in the afternoon, everything stops for afternoon tea, which is our tradition. The pastry chef concluded with a folk proverb.

The warmest applause for the chef is an important part of the banquet etiquette.

At this point, the atmosphere of the whole networking event came to a peak.

The boys and girls walked into the hall and danced as de deux with their already invited partners.

"The Last Waltz, is this the piece?" Hall asked.

Isabella listened, "Yes, do you have any favorite tunes?" ”

"'Just One Step Away.'" Hall gave a modest answer.

Isabella sat on the low sofa and raised her slender hands: "I like it too, this piece will never be absent." ”

"So, Miss Isabella, will you dance with me?" Hall bent over and stretched out his hand.

The two hands touched slightly, and it was a little cold.

"Yes."
