Chapter 24: The Princesses and the Heirs (5)
"Is this an S-class freshman, it looks quite handsome."
"I heard that he fought with Chu Zihang yesterday, I don't know if it's true or not."
"It's true, the vice chairman said it himself."
"Who won?"
"I don't know, but since this Lu Mingfei can fight with Chu Zihang, he is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Hasn't their 3E exam started yet?"
"I heard that Lu Mingfei woke up on his own."
"Hey, the self-awakening hasn't gotten out of control, this son is so terrifying."
“……”
Lu Mingfei listened to the whispers on both sides of the red carpet and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
That's right, at this moment, the door of the student union is open, and the red carpet about ten meters long is spread at the door, and the lights on both sides are deliberately focused on this.
No, if you consider the boys and girls walking on the red carpet, it should be more biased towards the wedding scene, the boy is dressed in a smart suit, the girl is wearing a light blue dress, stepping on a pair of white boots, and the lace edge of the socks is still hanging outside, and the two walk side by side at the welcome ceremony that Caesar specially prepared.
"What are you doing?"
Zero noticed that Lu Mingfei hadn't followed, and turned his head to look at him.
"Don't you feel that something is wrong......" Lu Mingfei looked around at the gathered student council members who wanted to observe him up close and the seniors who had nothing to do, and stuck out his tongue:
"It feels like we're on the catwalk, and there's an audience down there."
"It shouldn't have been like this." Zero sighed.
"How?"
"I didn't expect Caesar to do this, he didn't say let us pass through here, but I told him you to come back too, and he said to go in through the main entrance of the student union and prepared some small gifts for us."
Lu Mingfei held his forehead: "I knew I wouldn't come." ”
"Didn't you receive an invitation to their banquet that day?" Zero glanced at him: "Originally, this was supposed to be a battle at night, but now it's been moved, and I'm the victim." ”
"You can't escape left and right." Lu Mingfei shook his head, thinking in his heart which guy gave Caesar the idea.
For his former boss, Lu Mingfei knew that this was definitely not an idea he could come up with, Caesar, like Chu Zihang, was suitable to be a leader on the surface, and they were definitely the best candidates to command such a thing, but they were definitely not the kind of staff officers who planned the club.
It's like the last time he went to the Lionheart, it was impossible to empty the kendo hall without being noticed, but even so, Lancelot was able to reply in front of everyone's inquiries without a red heartbeat, "It's a lie, our president just had a cup of tea with his high school classmates and exchanged about the past, and nothing else was done." ’
This must have been Lancelot's idea, inviting Lu Mingfei to come, pretending to 'accidentally' leak the news, and then denying it vigorously, making people think that this was three hundred taels of silver here, and then wondering if Lu Mingfei had reached any agreement with the Lionheart.
disturbed people's hearts, made everyone have such preconceived notions, and then saw Lu Mingfei subconsciously associate him with the Lionheart Society, becoming an 'established reality' in psychology, and then realizing it step by step.
It is worthy of being Chu Zihang's most stable think tank, Lu Mingfei sincerely admired it in his heart, but Lancelot seemed to have met an opponent, and the method of the student union to break this established reality was very direct and violent, but the effect was also the best:
Just let everyone watch you Lu Mingfei come to the student union.
There are high-ranking people who make a move to Caesar, which is probably 'be grand, and then publicize', but in terms of Caesar's nerves, he patted his head and let people roll out the red carpet, and specially let everyone in the student union welcome Lu Mingfei.
However, whether to say it or not, Zero is not stage frightened at all, Lu Mingfei glanced at the girl next to him with a calm expression, the blue eyes did not stop at all on the noisy crowd on both sides, stared ahead, and walked forward step by step with his neck high, like an elegant swan.
However, everyone's attention was not attracted by the girl's figure at all, but stayed on the boy who had become the hottest figure in the first few days of entering the school.
Lu Mingfei smiled, if he had been watched by so many people before, he would probably have trembled and fled into the house in a hurry, but now, he has long been downset about focusing on this matter in front of everyone.
If you don't look down on it, there is no way, the inauguration ceremony of the president of the student union needs to speak in front of all the members, as well as a series of activities such as weekly meetings and monthly meetings, although it is not a natural leader, but a set of such tempering, he has been able to talk freely in less than two months, and his face does not change, whether there are ten people or a thousand people sitting below, in his eyes, it is just the difference in the number of cabbages.
"He's so calm, it seems that our welcome ceremony is not lively enough." At the window on the third floor, looking at the scenery downstairs, Caesar twisted his brows: "What do you say?" ”
"It shouldn't be our problem." Drymond also found the problem: "From his demeanor, he should have held some position and often spoke in front of everyone, but from our investigation of him, he was only the vice president of a literary club. ”
"What literary club? Their local literary society? Caesar raised an eyebrow.
"Uh...... There are only a dozen people in their school's literary club, and most of them don't participate in activities, and it is because of this that he was ......"
"In that case, it's even more interesting." Caesar snapped his fingers:
"Let's go, meet our friends."
Lu Mingfei glanced at the curtains on the third floor of the Norton Pavilion, thoughtfully, smiled politely at the people around him who were talking about him, and then followed Zero into the imposing gate of the Norton Pavilion.
The bronze door slowly closed, and the two figures in everyone's sight gradually disappeared into the gap, and in the end, only the two stone lions several meters high at the door were left to look at them affectionately.
"Guys, please leave, our president has been communicating with the two freshmen for a long time, and they have to attend our party in the evening, so I'm afraid they won't come out until late."
Seeing that the crowd still refused to leave, several officers of the student union walked out of the queue and removed the 'welcome ceremony' arranged at the door, and everyone gave up.
……
Norton Pavilion, tea room on the second floor.
Three delicate small porcelain cups, bubbling with steam, from time to time come the fragrance of tea.
"I'm quite happy to see that the freshmen are so good every year."
"I have heard the name of President Caesar for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary."
Listening to the extremely skillful flattering words of the two, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that all the sycophancy skills he had learned over the years had been in vain, and his tongue was like a knot and he couldn't speak, and finally struggled for a long time before he said, 'Hello senior'.
"Hello junior brother." Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile in his eyes, like a tiger admiring a piece of fine ham.
The air was heavy, and the three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"It's really troublesome for the chairman, to be able to take time out of his busy schedule to show the two of us around the student union." Realizing that it was cold, Lu Mingfei glanced at the girl who was silently drinking tea next to him, and hurriedly said.
He finally understood the intention of bringing himself here, this girl doesn't like to talk on weekdays, and it would be good to be able to symbolically say a compliment, and his role is to avoid this.
"It's okay, most of the affairs of our student council are handed over to Dramond, Vice President Dramond, you know, it's the man who gave you the invitation that day, the standard English gentleman, always wears his suit." Caesar joked, got up and said, "Aren't you two here to visit the student union, let's take a stroll together, it just so happens that today is a rest day, and there is no one else here." ”
Lu Mingfei got up with a smile, followed him without lifting the hem of his skirt, and the three of them walked out of the tea room and went to the rooftop first.
"This is our open-air terrace, where the student council regularly hosts barbecues."
Looking at the stone chair in front of him and the pergola covered with roses, Lu Mingfei gasped a few times, he had no impression at all.
He hadn't been chairman for long, and he had many missions, so he couldn't spend much time in the Norton Pavilion.
Moreover, the Norton Pavilion is actually very large, it is said to be a venue, but it is more like a small manor, surrounded by buildings to form the word 'mouth', and there are swimming pools and gardens inside.
Caesar was a natural orator, and was naturally very good at introducing his own society, and Lu Mingfei and Zero followed behind him, listening to the gushing introductions.
"The restaurant, but there is no chef here, because I think the chefs of the academy are already quite good, and outsiders can't come in, so you can order food from the cafeteria and send it here."
"......" Lu Mingfei remembered the scene when he was sitting in the office eating pig's trotters, and he also said that the student union was too far away from the cafeteria, and he worked hard to fight with Ange to build a small canteen in the student union.
"The gym, but there are usually very few people who come here, because the girls from the dance troupe often train here and occupy a place, and those who really want to work out don't come." Caesar shrugged: "That group of guys thinks that women are all pink skeletons, and it will only affect the speed at which they build muscles. ”
“……”
At that time, in order to prevent his cervical spondylosis, Chairman Lu also specially bought a pair of barbells and put them in the office.
"In the indoor flower room, the fruits and vegetables here are pollution-free, you can pick them up and eat them directly, and they often produce out-of-season fruits." Caesar bent down to pick up a few tomatoes and threw them to Lu Mingfei and Zero.
"Astronomical Observatory."
“……”
"Cinema."
“……”
"Billiards hall."
“……”
"The dance troupe's locker room."
"Don't!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly stopped Caesar who wanted to open the door, he heard the noisy sound of a girl inside, if he opened the door, it would be a big misunderstanding.
"Just kidding." Caesar smiled and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, the latter had to admit that Caesar did have the temperament to be the boss, and they were so close in such a short time, if he didn't know what kind of virtue he had, it is estimated that Lu Mingfei's heart would have been captured by the student union by now.
"This kind of thing, Fingal can do." Caesar muttered and shook his head, "Let's go, don't disturb the pretty girls." ”
……
After following Caesar for an hour, Lu Mingfei knew that his student council president for more than half a year had been in vain.
He is a working boy who goes out on tasks all over the world all day long, and when he comes back, he fulfills the task of the chairman and makes decisions in meetings, and he has never experienced the colorful extracurricular activities of the student union.
However, Lu Mingfei also understood why the student union could always grab good seedlings in front of the Lionheart Club, how could there be such a test of cadres?
Those who can resolutely join the Lionheart Club after fully seeing the facilities of the student union are either to follow in the footsteps of their sweetheart, or they admire Chu Zihang very much, or like him, they also like to live an ascetic-like life.
Slowly pushed open the last mahogany door, but Caesar waited by the door, waiting for Zero and Lu Mingfei to walk in first, and then slammed the door shut.
The room was pitch black, and Lu Mingfei subconsciously took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, but what he saw was the phoenix pattern on the top of the buck's head.
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Caesar. Gattuso. The man was already standing in front of the dark fireplace, his eyes reflecting the light like pearls of the night, and the smile on his lips had completely faded.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, the three of them stood in place, Lu Mingfei and Zero stood together and looked at Caesar in front of him who suddenly changed his appearance, the former wanted to say something bad to relieve the atmosphere, but was stopped by the girl.
"The heir of the Gattuso family, I haven't seen you for a long time, please take care of me in the future." Zero stepped forward, lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly, then stretched out her right hand and looked at Caesar.
"Her Royal Highness, the princess of the Romanov family, it seems that you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, please take care of me in the school in the future." The latter attached his right hand to his chest, bowed, and then knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of his hand gently, as if a knight were meeting his own princess.
"So you've known each other for a long time." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head, and his whole body relaxed from the tension just now.
"It's just that I've met a few times." Caesar shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on Zero:
"In that case, Your Royal Highness, can I tell you what you think after visiting the student union completely?"
"The decoration is very good, and the facilities are quite new."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Caesar laughed: "What I want to ask is if you want to join the student union." ”
"I'm just here today to have a visit."
"Then why do you insist on seeing me?"
“……”
Seeing that the two of them smelled of gunpowder again, Lu Mingfei was at a loss on the side, on the one hand, it was zero, on the other hand, it was his former boss, if the two of them really fought, he would have to step forward and fight without selfishness.
Unexpectedly, the corners of Zero's mouth curled slightly:
"You guessed it right, set a time for me to talk."
"I won't do it to a woman for no reason. No, even if there is a reason, I will try to suppress my emotions, this is the family motto of our Gattuso family. ”
"If you want me to join a club, its leader must show a certain amount of strength, is this reason enough?"
"That's really enough." Caesar smiled and glanced back and forth between the two opposites: "No wonder you also went to the Lionheart Society last time, can I listen to your evaluation of Chu Zihang?" ”
"It's okay." Zero's face was as cold as ice.
"Is that all? Then I'm curious about what I can expect to be evaluated under Her Royal Highness. Caesar raised his eyebrows with interest, but then he thought of something and shook his head: "But, let me refuse, at least for a while from now on." ”
"Why?" Zero's expression changed slightly.
"Because the banquet is about to start, and I have a lot of things to do these days, if I want to learn, let's talk about it after school starts." Caesar glanced at the old wall clock on the wall, its hour hand slowly moving to the 'six' position.
At the same time, a piercing bell rang throughout the Norton Pavilion.
"Please enjoy this wonderful evening, please have fun, you two, and forgive me for missing me."
