Chapter 21: The Banquet
Fingal glanced at Lu Mingfei with a smile, and then said: "If you want to inquire about her, it would be a pity, I don't know much about Caesar's fiancΓ©e, but there is some basic information." β
"Nuo Nuo's real name is Chen Motong, you know, right? But she doesn't seem to like her name, and she always makes people call her Nono. HER FAMILY SHOULD BE QUITE WEALTHY, BUT SHE ALWAYS CLAIMS THAT SHE HAS NO FAMILY, BUT IN FACT, MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHE HAS A YOUNGER BROTHER WITH A HIGH BLOOD LEVEL, BUT HE HAS NEVER GROWN UP, HIS NAME IS GATES, AND HIS NICKNAME IS 'KEY', BECAUSE HIS WORDS CAN OPEN ALL THE DOORS IN THE WORLD. Fingal said everything he knew, "I don't know more about it, oh yes, her mentor is Professor Mance Rundstedt, and there is a senior brother and a senior sister, named Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki." β
"It stands to reason that she has no reason to be short of money, but she still follows Professor Guderian to work part-time on campus, and you should be careful when approaching her anyway." Fingal said this with a somewhat mysterious expression.
"Huh? Why? Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"She is more or less a celebrity in the academy, not only because she is Caesar's fiancΓ©e, but also because she herself is strange, she has the nickname of 'Red-Haired Witch', because she is usually quite quiet and alone, and sometimes she is very crazy, few people can keep up with her brain circuit, she is her own way, she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, in short, most people will feel very tired when they get along with her." Fingal explains, "There were a lot of people who thought she might have something mentally ill. By the way, speaking of the privilege you can't refuse for three months, I think she's likely to say yes. β
"Although I feel that this so-called privilege is stupid, I do think she will agree, probably because it is just fun." Lu Mingfei said expressionlessly, "But I refuse this offer, I don't want to be a joke." β
"Do you know a lot about her?" Fingal was surprised, "Could it be that you really have that idea for her?" β
"I told you, she was my first friend at the Kassel Academy." Lu Mingfei was unmoved, "You know that I have very few friends. β
Fingal was silent for a moment, and then changed the subject: "I heard that Chu Zihang talked to you today, what did he tell you?" β
"He invited me to join the Lionhearts, saying he promised me that I could be the next president after him." Lu Mingfei said directly without concealment.
Fingal's eyes widened: "Senior brother, you're out of breath!" Are you going to heaven? Chu Zihang means that he wants you to be the prince, and the Qilan who came before seems to have invited you to be the chairman of the freshman association? Yesterday it seems that the student council also came to recruit you? You are now fragrant and gluttonous, and the three major societies are competing for one of you, so what do you think and which one to choose? β
"How do I know which one to choose? I don't want to choose any of them. Lu Mingfei spread his hands, "I don't want to mix in any clubs, it's boring, or do you say that you must worship the dock when you enter the college, and you can't get along if you don't worship the dock?" β
"If you have to say it, it's okay not to join the club, but you can add credits if you participate in club activities, and if you are not a member of the club, it seems that there are no credits to add." Fingal said, "And how high is the price of Chu Zihang, the next generation of successors has been appointed, and the Lionheart is the oldest club in the college, I heard that it was founded by the principal, and the principal's eldest brother, Menec Cassel, is the first president of the Lionheart Society, and the Lionheart will have the support of the principal, and the status is unshakable." What is there to hesitate about such a good thing? β
Lu Mingfei looked at Fingal and said a little speechlessly: "You have a bit of a point, even if it is for the sake of credits, it is not a loss to find a club to join, but didn't you try your best to win me to join the student union before?" β
"At this time and that time, compared to Caesar's side, it is obviously Chu Zihang's side that has greater interests, as long as you agree, you will immediately be the second-in-command of the Lionheart Society, a proper big man, Caesar did not personally invite you, let alone promise you the position of the next student union president, and the price he offered is not enough to compete with Chu Zihang!" Fingal said, "Besides, to tell you the truth, the foundation of the student union is actually inferior to that of the Lionheart, and it all depends on Caesar, the big tyrant among the local tyrants, to insist on scattering coins to support the ability to suppress the Lionheart. β
Lu Mingfei understood that Fingal felt that he had a more promising future when he joined the Lionheart, and maybe he could hug his thighs in the future, this kind of thing felt a bit absurd when he thought about it.
The phone vibrated for a moment, and Lu Mingfei took it out and saw that it was a new text message.
βRicardoοΌ
Tomorrow night the student council will have a dinner and social dance at the Amber Pavilion at 18:00, and if you have time, come over for a bite to eat, Caesar said he wanted to talk to you.
Remember to wear formal attire. Tips: 'School uniforms are not considered formal wear', you can go to the College Theatre to rent one.
PS: You don't have to eat dinner, you are full.
Nono"
Lu Mingfei thought about it and replied: "I will definitely eat it back." β
Fingal leaned over to take a look and slapped his face: "Good guy, Caesar is going to steal people himself." β
"How do I feel like it's a good feast." Lu Mingfei sighed.
When Lu Mingfei took Fingal to the brightly lit Amber Pavilion, he couldn't help but marvel at the luxury here: "This is really, extravagant, one person's house can fit a thousand people, is this the life of a rich man?" β
The Amber Pavilion looks like a small Gothic castle, and Lu Mingfei can't help but think of the old joke that the family has two highways, and it takes 40 minutes to drive from the kitchen to the toilet.
"Caesar himself shouldn't have lived here often, he rented this place mainly to serve as a student council activity venue, speaking of which, it's all because of you, the previous student council activity venue was the Norton Pavilion." Fingal said.
"I look like celebrities come and go here, and I always feel that it's not the place I should be, which is too high-class." Lu Mingfei looked at the student union cadres at the gate wearing black dresses and carrying white handkerchiefs or crimson roses in their jacket pockets and sighed, he felt that his face had been cultivated much thicker now, and he would definitely turn around and leave before he put it aside.
"It's a lot of money," Fingal's face became serious, "It's not easy, like you said, the people who come and go here are all celebrities from the academy, all of them are very rich, and a little bit of it is enough for us to eat for a year...... I think this is Caesar's money offensive that he does best, why don't you think about it? If you follow Caesar, you may not be short of money after that. β
Lu Mingfei didn't answer Fingal, he looked at a pickup truck not far away loaded with fresh roses scattered in front of the gate of the Amber Pavilion, and said: "Such a big battle will definitely not be prepared for me, and I am not short of money now, I am just more economical." β
"There's a kind!" Fingal gave a thumbs up, "This is the momentum of the 'S' class rookie king!" β
"What is the title of the rookie king?" Lu Mingfei complained, "It always feels like the kind of small character who will be crushed by the real protagonist in less than three chapters!" β
"Why don't you go in when you come? Why are you standing stupidly outside the door? Someone said behind the pair of living treasures.
Lu Mingfei looked back, who was Nuo Nuo? She was wearing the formal dress that Lu Mingfei wore on the night he signed the enrollment agreement, and she had an aura of control.
Without saying a word, Nuno grabbed Lu Mingfei and Fingal with both hands, and walked straight to the door of the Amber Pavilion.
Lu Mingfei whispered to Nuo Nuo and asked, "This banquet and dance party have something to do with you, right?" β
Nuno said directly: "Today is my birthday. β
Now Lu Mingfei didn't know, it turned out to be a banquet and dance party held by the president of the student union to celebrate his fiancΓ©e's birthday, and he Lu Mingfei estimated that he was not in the invitation list, no wonder it was the invitation sent to him by Nuonuo.
"That's good, sister, I still think about my little brother when I have delicious food, I don't have to say anything about righteousness!" Lu Mingfei gave Nuo Nuo a thumbs up.
As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Mingfei saw Caesar waiting there with the ministers of the six departments of the student union, Nuo Nuo waved his hand at Lu Mingfei and said, "You eat and drink well." Then he went with Caesar.
Caesar only had Nono in his eyes, and he didn't even look at anyone else, and he took Nono and left.
Fingal was a little puzzled: "What kind of attitude is this?" Dismounted? β
Lu Mingfei glanced at Fingal, walked straight in, and said, "Whatever, go eat." β
I don't know why, Lu Mingfei saw Nuo Nuo's sly smile before leaving, and always felt that this banquet might go in a strange direction.
For this sumptuous dinner in the evening, Lu Mingfei deliberately didn't even eat lunch, just waiting for the evening to eat back, and the sumptuous buffet really did not disappoint Lu Mingfei and Fingal, the huge Australian lobster lay on the ice, the back shell was open, and the crystal clear white meat inside was simply mouthwatering, Lu Mingfei and Fingal feasted, giving a thumbs up while eating.
The sentence "Come and eat" in Nuo Nuo's text message was vividly implemented by Lu Mingfei, he didn't care at all about the slightly strange eyes of other people present, and said that he would eat and never do anything else.
At this moment, a crisp and pleasant bell rang, everyone in the hall stopped talking, looked up at the two curved staircases leading to the second floor, a group of boys in black appeared on one side, and a group of girls in white dresses appeared on the other, and the dance was about to begin.
Lu Mingfei watched the table go down, and was about to follow, but was pulled by Fingal: "If our 'S' class freshmen don't dare to dance, they will be laughed at." β
"It's useless to say anything, I can't dance." Lu Mingfei insisted on following the dining table, he decided to adhere to the policy of eating and never make a fool of himself on the stage.
Fingal had no choice but to sigh and follow Lu Mingfei to continue to eat.
On the second floor, a red curtain opened, a small band was ready for audition, and after a short overture, the men and women dancing in the center of the hall were already in place, the music officially began, and the skirts began to spin.
The dancing guests all look professionally trained, dancing gracefully and subtly cooperating, and the dancing crowd takes different shapes to the music.
"Tango, that's my forte!" Fingal's face was full of pity, "It's a pity, I was 'Elvis' in the academy when I was young!" β
"You are the Four Heavenly Kings, and I don't feel like I can find a dance partner to dance with you." Lu Mingfei said.
Lu Mingfei looked at the absolute protagonist in the center of the dance floor, the dance between Caesar and Nuno was really seamless, he felt that Caesar's every gaze looking at Nuno was full of affection, in the dance, it seemed that all the usual indifference had melted like ice and snow in the sun, and all that was left was warm love, Lu Mingfei didn't know what kind of past Caesar and Nuno had, but at this moment he felt that they were indeed a good match.
"I'm so envious......" Lu Mingfei muttered, and he didn't know who he was talking about.
The first piece of music came to an end, and the male and female dance partners saluted each other.
At the moment when the music ended, everyone saw that the band's principal violinist stood up and walked down from the second floor.
The girl had pale blonde hair that was close to pure white, and was wearing a silver crystal-encrusted gown, and she was petite, and her skin was so fair that she even had a feeling of crystalline.
A new overture sounded, and the substitute violinist quickly took over the job, but all eyes were drawn to the girl who came down from above.
Lu Mingfei was stunned, he was very impressed by the girl, the girl who was like an ice sculpture had a strange name, "zero", or rather, "zero".
The girl changed into a pair of silver high heels, and the principal violinist, or the girl's "zero" petite figure, suddenly looked as tall as a bamboo, she raised her arms high, raised one leg, and performed a classic ballet move, such a change was amazing, and at this moment, she was heartbreakingly beautiful.
The music began, and the girl danced alone, spinning and cutting into the crowd in a standard dance posture, it was a silver knife light that cut through everything, and everyone involuntarily gave way to a way, and she overwhelmed everyone with a perfect dance, like a noble queen.
Fingal said with a playful expression: "Senior brother, what do I think this little queen is coming for you?" β
Fingal wasn't joking, everyone could see that the girl cut straight through the crowd and pointed straight to a target with the shortest straight line between the two points, and the other of the two points undoubtedly pointed to Lu Mingfei at the table.
"Come on, junior brother! Don't live up to the girl's expectations! Fingal nudged Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was caught off guard by Fingal's push, and immediately broke into the dance floor, just as his hand was on the ice-sculpture girl.
