Chapter 129 Orange Juice and Toffee Flavor

At nearly 7 o'clock, there were members of the student union at the door handing out masks. Everyone could get one for free and take it away as a souvenir after the dance.

Soothing music created a romantic and warm atmosphere. Men and women entered the venue arm in arm or alone.

The reporter standing guard at the entrance of the Norton Hall clicked his camera, and the focus of his eyes and spotlight was on a man and woman in formal suits.

Susie wore a light yellow dress, revealing her straight shoulders and collarbones. Her black and soft hair was tied up loosely, with a lock hanging naturally on her neck. The golden spider plant hair ornament was tied on the left side of her hair, giving her a perfect look. A faint sense of charm and temptation.

Chu Zihang stood in front of her, choosing a suitable mask. He was wearing a very standard black suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he was a full head taller than Susie.

Next to them was a man and a woman, Ye Sheng and Shude Aki.

Aki, who was wearing a dark purple loose dress, was chatting with Susie. The two were talking and laughing, as if they were talking about something very happy. Ye Sheng was standing next to Aki obediently, holding a lady's bag in his hand.

"Sister Aki, where are you going to hold the wedding?" Susie asked.

"Probably go to China, Ye Sheng's hometown, Sichuan." Shutoku Aki said with a smile: "Since you are married, then just do as the Romans do. I am alone, and it is the same wherever I go. There is no such thing in the Japanese branch. For my relatives, I alone can make decisions about marriage."

"This" Susie opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised.

She had never known about Shutoku Aki's life experience, but she knew that there was such a person who always smiled gently and would greet you politely when he walked by. He was very well-educated.

I originally thought that Shutoku Aki came from a Japanese family where her parents were harmonious and well-educated. But now from what she meant, it seemed like she was an orphan?

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Don't be so surprised." Shutoku Aki took Susie's hand, "I grew up in an orphanage owned by the Japanese branch. You know, before the awakening of the dragon blood, the mixed race was the same as the ordinary one. The gap between people is not very big, it is only about the difference between 100 points and the average score of 60 points. Only after awakening will you break through that boundary and reach a level above 100 points."

"When I was a child, I was a very ordinary girl. Because I was very sensible, my sisters in the orphanage took good care of me. People from the Japanese branch would regularly conduct blood tests on the children in the orphanage. If mixed race qualifications were detected, will be taken away, this is how I was taken away and raised, many children have been taken away before me."

"Some people were sent back to the world of ordinary people because they were not talented enough. I have never seen them again. Others, like me, joined the Japanese branch. With their support, they attended preparatory classes and were admitted to Kassel College, and then When you go back to work for them after graduation, they will have a bill for everyone, recording the cost of training you from childhood to adulthood. If you want to join the executive department of Cassel College and not be their employee, you need to pay back this bill. Bills, the college paid off my debt this year, so I am now free, and from now on, I will only live for myself."

"Aki, there's me too." Ye Sheng interrupted, "You will never be alone again."

"When did you say something like this?" Jiude Aki turned around, tilted his head, poked Ye Sheng's face with his index finger, and asked with a smile, "Can you tell me where you learned it?"

"I read it all from books!" Ye Sheng straightened his back immediately, standing upright like a commander on patrol.

Before he got married, his rake-eared attributes were becoming increasingly apparent.

The word "rak" in Mandarin means "soft", and "rak ears" means "soft ears", because some men are always grabbed by their ears and carried home by their wives, so men who are afraid of their wives are called It's called "raking ears."

Jiudoku Aki patted Ye Sheng's waist and tickled him playfully. Ye Sheng's face turned red and he remained silent.

"That's great," Susie whispered.

She looked at the two people flirting, then at Chu Zihang who looked like a steel plate in front of her, and sighed softly.

Shutoku Aki's past life was much worse than hers. She grew up in an orphanage and had to use "sensible" to please adults since she was a child. Even though she was later selected and trained by the Japanese branch, she was still burdened with debts, such as on her feet. As if in shackles.

As for Susie, one of the few "A"-level bloodlines in the college, her parents are not the executive department specialists of Cassel College. Although her father and mother are of mixed race, they have no bloodline rating at all and just live an ordinary life. With.

Dragon genes are dominant and recessive. Children of the same parents may be a high-purity hybrid, or an ordinary person. There is no reliable scientific method to detect the dominant or recessive nature of dragon genes, which is why it is stuck. The reason why Sayre College conducts interviews and exams all over the world every year is that otherwise, there would be no need to recruit students at all, and they would just go directly to the major mixed-race families to recruit people.

Of course, there is a very high probability that the offspring of a high-purity bloodline will also be a hybrid of a high-purity bloodline, but this is a bit mysterious. In history, there have been cases where two "A-levels" gave birth to an ordinary person, and there were also cases where two ordinary people gave birth to an ordinary person. The situation of "Class A" fetus.

Susie's parents are like this. They are a mixed-race couple with very weak dragon blood. Their names are only recorded in Norma's file. From childhood to adulthood, in addition to having better test scores, they are better-looking than others, and their athletic ability is better than others. Others are a little better, but other places are not much different from ordinary people.

But Susie has been different since she was a child. She is what other parents call "other people's children". Her grades are firmly ranked first in the school, and she is also good at various interest classes. She is good at both civil and military skills, and she is the first in everything. .

It wasn't until she was eighteen years old that Kassel College interviewed her. After learning the truth, she decided to join Kassel.

Because she thinks that here, she can find people who can understand each other.

Being too good is not a good thing. When she was in elementary school, she was very puzzled by the confusing behavior of her classmates. Later, she gradually understood that it was not her classmates who had the problem, but her problem.

Before coming to Kassel, she didn't have any friends. Socializing with others was like adults coaxing children. She didn't feel any fun at all, only tired. Maybe this was the so-called 'Blood Mourning'.

"A-level" bloodlines are extremely rare. Even around the world, the total number of "A-level" people does not exceed 1,000, and the number of "S-level" people is less than 20. In today's colleges, there are only "A-level" people. Thirteen people, on average, there are only 3 people in each age group, but in Susie's class, there are 4 people.

She, Nono, Chu Zihang and Lancelot.

She, Lancelot and Chu Zihang joined the Lion Heart Club, and Nono joined Caesar's student union.

Slowly, the word "loneliness" disappeared from her life. "Blood Mourning" would bring loneliness and also attract mixed races to gather. She made friends in the Lion Heart Club and became roommates with Nono. She became best friends and found the person who made her heart beat.

She didn't know when she got used to standing behind Chu Zihang. The first thing she thought of when the invitation to the ball came was that cold face. She thought that the restless heart of adolescence would never come, but she didn't expect it. It was just delayed on the road for a few years.

"How about this one?" Chu Zihang took over a white dance mask.

The skirt Susie is wearing is light yellow. Yellow is the most delicate of all colors. As long as a small amount of other colors are mixed into pure yellow, its hue and color character will change greatly.

Chu Zihang is a very particular person, with a delicate personality and attention to details. He has a lot of experience in taking care of others because he has a very unreliable mother.

This mask was carefully selected. Adding a small amount of white to the yellow will make the color softer.

Susie has sharp eyebrows and angular eyes, and she doesn't like to smile. She is like an unapproachable mountain flower. Her hairstyle today is not in harmony with the style of her facial features, but paired with this white mask and light yellow dress The cold and arrogant color sense is diluted, becoming more subtle and easy to approach. After covering her eyes, the slightly incongruous feeling is properly neutralized.

Susie took the mask, put it on her face, smiled slightly, "I like it very much."

But if he chose it, she would like any color.

She doesn't know how to match colors, but she is somewhat proficient in the combination of parts of a sniper rifle. This dress was borrowed from Nono, and Nono helped her style her hair.

Nono's original words: "Your face is too cold. If your hair is no longer combed softly, it will be like an ice cube. Two ice cubes will not make you warmer if you put them together."

"Then let's go in." Chu Zihang took on a pure black mask, with lava-like light flowing in his eternal golden pupils.

Susie put her hand on Chu Zihang's left elbow. This is a polite gesture, usually between a daughter and her father, or between friends. Sometimes it is also used between a male boss and a female secretary. Really Some couples, such as Shutoku Aki and Ye Sheng, would hook their hands together and keep their bodies close to each other.

The four of them walked towards the dance venue, and the soothing rhythm of the dreamy song "Childhood Scenes" lingered in their ears. In the Norton Pavilion, a stage was set up, with a classical piano placed in the center. The pianist in a tuxedo was immersed in the touch of fingers and keys. In dance.

There are fruits on the table nearby, including fresh grapes, lychees on branches, and plump red apples.

Boston butter lobster, German roast suckling pig, French foie gras, BJ roast duck

All kinds of delicacies are displayed in a dazzling array.

Waiters holding trays served drinks to each guest. Outside the stage, there were many small stages, which looked like venues for some small events.

Susie took a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. She didn't like to drink. A sniper couldn't drink. Alcohol would make her judge wrong. She took a sip. It was sour in the mouth, but after a careful sip, it was sweet. The weak bitterness was not the same. Can't hide its sweetness.

At the end of the music, after the performance of this dream piece from Schumann, all the lights went out and only a beam of light shone on the stage.

The world seemed to turn into a black box, with golden pupils burning in the darkness.

This makeup mask is of no use at all. Everyone knows that there is only one person in the academy with such golden eyes.

Susie moved a little closer to the person next to her, just a little bit. If she got closer, she might scare him away, but if she stayed further away, she was afraid that he would slip away from her.

If you fall into this boundless darkness, you may never be able to find it again.

Caesar and Lu Mingfei appeared in that beam of light, and the whole audience fell silent, and everyone turned their attention there.

"You should feel honored to come to the ball hosted by Lu Mingfei and I." Caesar said, "Everyone standing here means that you have gained my approval."

"."

On the stage, Caesar delivered a lawless speech.

"Does he always talk like this?" Jiude Aki asked softly in Ye Sheng's ear.

The two of them hid in the corner and talked quietly.

"Just get used to it, that's the kind of person he is." Ye Sheng replied.

"By the way, why did you receive the invitation letter? We are not familiar with Caesar. We are not in conflict with each other. Did Lu Mingfei really ask you to support the show?" Yaji asked.

"That's right." Ye Sheng pointed at Lu Mingfei standing next to Caesar, "Look at him like that. He doesn't dare to say a word. If we don't come, he will have no acquaintances."

"But I can't dance." Aki lowered his head, "What should we do? Wear a mask and help him beat up Caesar? We should prepare a sack and put him in it. He won't know who it is. ”

"No, his people are everywhere here, and they are all watching. There is no chance to make a move." Ye Sheng.

"No, do you really want to beat him up?" Aji fooled Ye Sheng into thinking, "I was just joking, and when the time comes when people from the student union come after me, I won't care about you."

"It's okay, you go first, I will hold on." Ye Sheng pointed his thumb, showing his white teeth.

"Idiot." Yaji held Ye Sheng's hand and slowly leaned his head on his shoulder, "I ask you something. Answer me honestly. Don't lie. If you lie to me, I will return to Japan. Go, change your name and surname, ask people from the college to handle the withdrawal procedures for me, do amnestics, and then go to Saitama Prefecture alone to open a flower shop, make a living by selling flowers there, marry a country bumpkin and have children, and forget about you Clean and tidy."

"Then I will go to Saitama Prefecture and dress up as a country bumpkin, go to a newly opened flower shop to tease the landlady, marry the landlady and have children, and forget all about you." Ye Sheng whispered in Shutoku Aki's ear. .

"You dare!" Aki pouted.

Ye Sheng felt pain in the soft flesh of his waist and could not help but grit his teeth.

"I ask you, why did you stuff toffee under my pillow that day." Aji and Ye Sheng looked at each other with solemn expressions, "No lies, no lies to me, no sweet words."

"Why? Don't you like to eat toffee?" Ye Sheng whispered: "When we participate in the sailing competition, every time we lead the team together, you will secretly buy toffee at noon. Didn't you say that in the welfare Only the most obedient children in the hospital are given milk candies.”

"Is there no other reason?"

"Well, there should be none. I originally wanted to buy some for myself. I don't know what happened to my brain that day, so I grabbed two handfuls and put them in my pocket under your pillow. It was really stupid." Ye Sheng was trembling all over. , hugged himself tightly, "Oh my god, I never want to recall those seven days of hell in this life."

"It should be your true words. After all, only you can say such things." Aki touched his chin and nodded.

"One more thing, how did you know that I went to buy toffee at noon?" Aki narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you following me?"

"Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha." Ye Sheng took out a White Rabbit toffee from the side pocket of his suit, his voice was extremely exaggerated, "Oh, why is there a toffee here!"

He peeled off the candy wrapper and slowly brought it to Aki's lips. His fingers touched the girl's warm lips. The moist and soft touch reminded him of the passionate kiss under the Bronze City.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and all the noisy sounds disappeared.

"Aki, I love you." He said softly.

"Then love me, like the moon setting, causing the tide to spread throughout the world. Love you like I do, with vanity and fear." Aki responded softly.

The girl hugged the boy's neck and kissed him deeply in a corner where no one was paying attention.

Maybe it was only a short moment, maybe it was as long as a century. Time seemed to be frozen in this moment. Ye Sheng couldn't help but think, it turns out that a kiss can be flavored with toffee.
