Chapter 63: Children's Day Party (2)
There is no need to be sensitive all the time, and sluggishness is sometimes a virtue. Especially when interacting with people, even if you see through the motives of the other person's behavior or thoughts, you need to pretend to be sluggish. This is the secret of social interaction and compassion for people. - Nietzsche

Summer is approaching, the sun shines through the emerald green leaves and dappled points of light, and at this moment, in the light green garden on the side of the Nine Bright Moon Residences of the Yuelu Mansion, young and handsome men and women come and go like butterflies in the middle of the music played by the band, the laughter and the shadows of the trees.
Only Du Leng, the owner of the mansion, was still standing in front of the towering white jade pillar and waiting, and at this moment, basically all the guests had arrived, only Xie Minyun and Cheng Mo had not yet arrived.
Du Leng looked at the table below, there was still a minute to ten o'clock, when he raised his head, Xie Minyun's silver and black Rolls-Royce appeared in Du Leng's field of vision, and when the car stopped in front of the marble steps, Du Leng went down the steps for the first time and went to open the door for Xie Minyun in person.
Xie Minyun held Xiao Kun's bag in her hand, she was wearing white cherry blossom dark lace long sleeves, the round collar was slightly upright, and her neck was more and more white and slender, and under the black knee-length A-line skirt was a pair of straight and slender jade legs, although she was only stepping on silver flat shoes, but they were also amazingly long.
If you just evaluate the legs, Du Leng feels that among the women he has seen, no one can stand out.
There is no need to say much about appearance, being able to compare with Cheng Xiao's beauty is enough to explain everything.
Xie Minyun got out of the car and looked at the house and courtyard of Du Leng's family, very ingenious, using Western-style techniques to re-implant the Chinese house door system, cyan marble steps, white jade dragon pillars, black teak doors, carved dragon drum stones, orchids, lotus, auspicious cloud patterns of shadow wall relief...... In accordance with the Chinese royal order, it progresses layer by layer, creating a majestic ceremony and highlighting the etiquette of the family.
Xie Minyun secretly sighed in her heart that the Du family was a scholarly family of the last generation, and the background was not profound, she turned her gaze back to the heroic and upright Du Leng and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm a little late....." Although the words were gentle, there was no apology in the tone.
Du Leng smiled and said, "There is no early step, no late step, just right." β
Then Du Leng made a gesture of invitation to Xie Minyun, Xie Minyun followed Du Leng's hand and looked at a green lawn in the side yard, and after walking a few steps, you can see that there is already a Western-style lawn buffet on it, the table covered with white gauze is full of colorful cold dishes, there are more than a dozen salads around the marble-like Spanish ham, vegetable salad and a variety of fruits are piled up beautifully, there is a suckling pig on the fire rack not far away slowly spinning in the hands of a maid in a black maid suit, and there are several self-service ovens for those who want to move themselvesγ
A tall laurel tree also has a wine cabinet, and the whole side is filled with a variety of low-alcohol liquors, wines, nectars, and beverages, and bartenders in shirts and vests are bartending.
The band playing "Your Smile" on the edge of the lawn was not a five-member band, but a well-equipped small orchestra with oboe, trombone, saxophone, violin, cornet, piccolo, bass and bass drums, everything you could have.
The fragrance of the white flower bulbs can be smelled from afar, and the "Dream of Innocence" written in rose is inlaid on a starry wall with green flowers and small flowers.
Boys and girls dressed in luxurious clothes but wearing red scarves and wearing the logo of the captain and squad leader on their arms were chatting and laughing happily on the lawn, the boys' faces were full of confidence and high spirit, and the girls were dressed in a very beautiful manner.
Regardless of whether they are handsome, beautiful or not, they are all carefully groomed and come to the party, and Du Leng has carefully selected the girls who can participate in the party, and their appearance is not bad, not to mention that there is a smiling and slim Cheng Xiao standing in the middle, so it is very eye-catching at a glance, and the whole air is also full of sweet and vigorous laughter, which makes people feel young and energetic.
Du Leng led Xie Minyun to the crowd in the middle of the lawn, as soon as Du Leng and Xie Minyun arrived, the atmosphere became ambiguous, no matter what the background of the young people here at the moment, there is always a playful heart, and suddenly someone coaxed: "The newcomer is finally here..... Isn't the banquet ready to begin?"
At first glance, the scene is indeed arranged like a romantic and beautiful lawn wedding, Du Leng and Xie Minyun, who are standing side by side, are indeed a rare pair of golden boys and girls from the outside, although the girls present are all outstanding, such as Sun Xiaolu wearing a floral dress and a light blue woolen cardigan, such as Zhu Qingyun with a blue and purple dress and a blazer, and Shen Mengjie wearing a pale pink princess dress are all beautiful women.....
But compared with Xie Minyun and Cheng Xiao, who is wearing a Chinese red cheongsam and wearing two small balls, these girls are still a grade behind, not only the small details of the corners of the eyes, eyebrows, lips and teeth, but also the subtle senses of temperament and aura.
For example, Xie Minyun, at first glance, people can't force their eyes, dazzling, noble and glamorous, it is difficult for ordinary beautiful girls to have such a sharp sense of oppression, and Cheng Xiao is a completely different affinity, pure and lovely, cute and cheerful, looks very princessy but makes people feel very eager to get close and understand, when the eyes are shifted to her, they can't look away at all.
All in all, at the moment of Xie Minyun's arrival, the boys' spirits fell into a nervous excitement, and the girls' emotions were a kind of worried about being stimulated, Cheng Xiao didn't need to say much, after all, they were idol stars, and they relied on their faces to survive, but the pressure Xie Minyun gave them was completely different, everyone was from the same school, not to mention, none of them could be picky about their family background, knowledge, and appearance, so that people could not be jealous.
Without further ado, when Xie Minyun heard this joke, he actually refused in his heart, and was waiting to express euphemistically please don't make such an inappropriate joke, Du Leng preemptively spoke: "Although I do admire Min Yun very much, I don't agree with you guys joking like this...... After all, if you really like someone, you don't want any pressure to be put on her, and you can bear all the weight for her..... So please don't continue to make jokes like this, and laugh at me as a hypocrite in private......"
Du Leng's words immediately attracted a round of applause and applause, and the praise of good men in the new century was endless, but some people were unhappy, such as Shen Mengjie, she had a crush on Du Leng since junior high school, but she never received Du Leng's other eyes, on the contrary, Xie Minyun attracted attention as soon as she entered Changya, which made Shen Mengjie very unconvinced.
When Shen Mengjie entered Changya High School, she thought that she could get the attention of Xie Minyun with her excellent results, but an insurmountable mountain appeared above her head, which made Shen Mengjie unable to sleep at night, but the full score of Koko did make Shen Mengjie want to chase but was a little powerless.
Fortunately, this time Cheng Mo handed over the white scroll, which made Shen Mengjie raise his eyebrows. As for whether Cheng Mo cheated on the exam, does it matter? It doesn't matter at all, what matters is whether he can get a full score or not.
In addition to Shen Mengjie, there were other people who were unhappy, that was Fu Yuanzhuo, who was standing at the outermost point of the crowd and wearing an off-white suit, with blonde hair, holding a cup of green grasshopper and whispering: "Knowing that you are a hypocrite, you are still self-aware." β
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Standing beside Fu Yuanzhuo, a slender girl with a white chiffon shirt casually tied in light-colored denim shorts, striped stockings with Converse, and a little unkempt hair with huge black-rimmed glasses, said while eating a plate of fruit salad.
The girl's outfit and grooming are really out of step with the glitz and sophistication of the high society, but when you look at her, it doesn't feel abrupt at all, as if she is a harmonious and natural existence no matter what.
Fu Yuanzhuo said: "You can take me to such a boring party at a good time, it doesn't matter if Xiangjiang can't go, it's better to let me sit in the Internet cafΓ© and play a few games!"
"I didn't call you, you have to come with you!" said the girl, who stuck a piece of dragon fruit with a silver fork.
Fu Yuanzhuo said: "The account you threw out of my table and chair has not been settled, how can I let you go easily..... Quickly pay me to learn something. β
The girl said: "Who called me a drama spirit." β
Fu Yuanzhuo looked the girl up and down and said in a loud voice: "I've seen people who love acting, it's still rare to see someone like you who regards acting as your life..... It's just that Du Leng's self-hypnotic drama saint who thinks he has a great mission can compete with you....."
The girl said: "Get out of the way, I'm not as boring as you say, and Du Leng is not as nervous as you say..... Others are ambitious, and compared with the second ancestor like you, who eats and waits for death, I don't know where it is..."
Fu Yuanzhuo took a sip of the green grasshopper in the toast and said: "Life is in the world, why do you let yourself live so tired? Of course, enjoy all the ..... that you can enjoy."
The girl interrupted Fu Yuanzhuo's words, looked at the black carved gate and said, "What..... The stinky boy sitting in front of you hasn't come yet?"
Fu Yuanzhuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do I know?" I said Miss Tong Tong, why don't you care about the peerless handsome guy around you, and care about an irrelevant person?"
The girl who was called Tong Tong by Fu Yuanzhuo waved her hand and said, "If he doesn't come this ugly duckling, does this party still have the meaning of existence?"
Fu Yuanzhuo laughed and said: "You are so vicious! But I like it, to be honest, I also came to see the play..... I'm curious why Du Leng paid for this insignificant little person to come over, and how this little person who even Du Leng dared to blackmail would behave on such an occasion, I think it's funny to think about it....."
..........
At this moment, in addition to Fu Yuanzhuo and Tong Tong, there was also someone paying attention to Cheng Mo, after Du Leng introduced the people around her to Xie Minyun, she didn't see Cheng Mo, so she didn't turn her head and asked Du Leng in a whisper: "That..... What about Cheng Mo?"
Du Leng looked at his watch and said, "I guess he's almost there..... I'll go to the door and wait...."
