Chapter 39: The Dance Party (1)
Ning Yi didn't seem to notice his overly eager gaze at all, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet......"
The dimples on Lu Jiming's cheeks became a little lighter, but he still maintained a gentle smile on the surface.
He didn't give up, and deliberately said, "Really? What a coincidence, I haven't thought about it yet. β
The implication is to remind Ning Yu that she can ...... with herself
Who knew that Ning Yi didn't come as he expected.
She didn't seem to hear his implication at all, and her eyes shone softly like amber in the sun: "Don't worry, there are still a few days, you can think about it slowly." β
She added empathetically: "You are so popular in school, you can think about it, there must be no shortage of people." β
With that, she lowered her eyelashes and silently looked at the leaflet about the Christmas Ball.
Lu Jiming's smile froze on his face, and he had to turn his head.
His face was full of incomprehensible depression and doubt.
Obviously, the relationship between herself and her has been very good during this time, she accepted the flowers she sent, and she also has a good impression of herself, doesn't she?
Lu Jiming couldn't find the reason after thinking about it, and he boasted that he had seen through people's hearts, and at this moment, an unspeakable sense of frustration rose in his heart.
Ning Yi stared at his anxious back, tilted his head, and showed a fleeting sneer.
Then she seemed to quickly regain her pure and lovely appearance, she handed the roster to Gu Huai who was sitting behind her, and then gently tapped the table with her thin white knuckles.
Gu Huai lifted his eyes and met her clear and soft curved eyes, like a pool of soft spring water.
As if knowing that he was always immersed in his own painting world, Ning Yi explained to him softly: "This is the list of this year's school Christmas ball, if you want to go, just tick the name behind it." β
"yes, okay."
Gu Huai took it, there was no expression on his cold face, and he didn't make eye contact with her, because he still remembered Lu Jiming's words in the studio that day.
Even if he knew that he was already moved, Gu Huai was Gu Huai, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to rob Ning Yi with Lu Jiming.
So simply stay away from her, and let this hazy feeling fade with time.
Ning Yi didn't stop and turn back as she expected, but looked at him with a little doubt: "Aren't you going to go?" β
Gu Huai's brushstrokes stopped slightly, I don't know if it was his illusion, he seemed to hear a faint regret and regret from this short sentence.
He pursed his thin red lips and finally raised his eyes: "Yes." β
The frustration and loss that flashed on Ning Yu's fair face were all visible to him.
Gu Huai's already calm state of mind was like being disturbed by a light spirit bird flying by, causing ripples.
He unconsciously clenched the pen, and his voice tightened: "What's wrong?" β
Ning Yi didn't say the reason, just smiled lightly and turned around: "It's nothing, it's just that I think you can participate in more activities organized by the school." β
"Maybe you can meet a special fate."
A special fate......
Gu Huai was stunned for a few seconds, staring at Ning Yi's back and her expression just now, and a conjecture inexplicably floated in her heartβcould it be that she was hinting that she was participating with her......
The heartbeat was chaotic unconsciously, and a faint red glow floated behind the ears because of this conjecture.
He closed his eyes, trying to suppress his agitation, and scolded himself for being more and more cranky.
After a long time, the heat and hot flashes behind the ears eased slightly.
His eyes fell on the roster placed on his desk.
Ning Yi's name seems to have been marked with a small tick behind her.
And there is still a blank behind his name.
He stared at the thin piece of paper for a long time, and finally solemnly marked his name.
The moment of satisfaction and pleasure that the tip of the pen swiped across the paper finally made him realize that he had made a mistake.
He seemed to like her more than he had expected.
A few words of her that did not mean anything would make him willingly go to the ball that he was not interested in at all.
Can...... If it was really what he expected, such a temptation made him irresistible, and even willing to do it.
After all, if Ning Yi was really interested in him and planned to invite him at the ball, then as a passive party, he would not be considered to have broken his promise to Lu Jiming.
He and Ning Yi had an unforgettable experience when they were young, but others couldn't compare with it, and it was not strange that she had a good impression of herself with that camping.
Thinking like this, Gu Huai unconsciously showed a somewhat shallow smile.
Lu Jiming had been paying attention to her words and deeds since she had touched Ning Yi's ash just now, and the conversation between her and Gu Huai just now was also in his ears.
Lu Jiming's handsome and good-looking face unconsciously floated with gloom and panic.
Did she want to invite Gu Huai?
Why? When did she actually have a crush on him? Have you done all your work in vain these days?
In the end, he made a wedding dress for someone else?
Countless questions and the anger that was about to overflow in his chest almost drove Lu Jiming completely crazy.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would do something irrational, and he would fall short, so he simply pushed away the chair and walked straight out.
The screeching sound from pushing the chair vigorously made Ning Yu raise his eyes.
What I saw was the angry back of Lu Jiming who disappeared at the door.
There was still a faint soft smile on her white porcelain face, and the pen blade moved nimbly between her thin white fingers.
It was like playing with a few of them.
She didn't say anything, how to understand it was their own business.

The Christmas Ball officially began at 7:30 p.m., but at 6 o'clock that day, students were already in the exhibition hall dressed in costumes.
The ball will take place in the largest studio in Sens, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, with the first floor for dancing and socializing, and the second and third floors for short breaks.
Sens is not able to spend his annual menstrual expenses, so he is particularly generous in these activities.
Thick and warm carpets of fine materials spread to every corner, ornate chandeliers hung brightly in the center of the exhibition hall, exuding dazzling light, rich in festive atmosphere of colored lights to add a bit of brightness to the exhibition hall designed by the medieval aristocracy, and soft and pleasant light music flowed to every corner......
The dining area also has a variety of brightly colored desserts and delicacies, and even professional waiters are specially hired to carry drinks and shuttle through the lively crowd with good manners.
Lu Jiming deliberately wore a limited-edition white suit today, with a long and slim body, and his hair was combed back, which further highlighted his outstanding and handsome facial features.
Many of the girls quietly turned red the moment they saw him, and they pouted each other to let each other talk.
It's just that Lu Jiming was a little absent-minded, and frequently looked towards the door of the exhibition hall, as if he was waiting for someone.
Gu Huai, who was dressed in a gray suit and had a cold expression, soon appeared in everyone's sight.
His skin is cold and white, his height is long, and the faint tears under his eyes make him even more noble and clear.
His outstanding appearance quickly caused a small stir in the crowd, and he rarely attended such crowded parties, so many girls excitedly asked those around him who he was.
