Chapter 147 Banquet Socialization
Magana is wearing a blue dress.
Her family is an earl family that has barely stepped into the core of power in the Principality of Gran. It can join the ranks of the big families of famous families in the next step, but if it is not careful, it will retreat to the edge again, and it is in an extremely embarrassing situation. status.
But even so, in Class 11, only the former Clara can compare with it.
"Congratulations, Shirahoshi, happy nineteenth birthday."
Magana unfolded the gift box. It was a high-quality agate stone, emitting a light red brilliance. Bai Xing said happily: "Thank you."
After the two whispered for a while, they sat down respectively.
The boys attending the banquet also arrived one after another.
Several of them are in a similar situation to Stiya, and they only come for a certain purpose. Alida is one of them, and his target is Magana!
"Beautiful Miss Magana, can I invite you to dance?"
In the center of the living room is the social dance floor, which is a traditional social custom in the principality.
Magana frowned.
If it were a normal day, of course I would not refuse.
Alida's family is the viscount of the capital city of St. Granburg, and owns a small fiefdom near St. Granburg. Its status is no worse than that of ordinary earls. Even if they don't want to be friends, they can't offend him, so they often treat this person. She never explicitly refused the male students who showed affection to her.
But today was an important intelligence node related to the family, so she had to be cautious.
Smiling slightly, Magana apologized: "Sorry, I already have a dance partner today, but he hasn't come over yet."
"oh?"
Alida looked surprised.
But as an elite noble of the principality, the basic aristocratic etiquette made him smile romantically and tenderly, nod and leave.
…
Xiao Kang dressed up carefully.
According to the agreed time, after meeting Lei Luo, they went to Bai Xing's home together.
"Why are you happy? Bai Xing didn't invite you that day. I called you."
Lei Luo couldn't help but asked in surprise as he looked at the proud look of the little fat man with naturally curly hair.
"Hey, what do you know? Bai Xing can't invite you any time. It has to be when I'm by your side. And in the past, I didn't have a good look even if I got even slightly close to her. I simply agreed that day. That's not okay. Explain the problem?"
The fat man was beaming with joy, his face full of pride.
"After you left the Furnace Fortress, Yulia told me something. I think there will definitely be a show this time! Next year, when I start my business in the Furnace Fortress, I plan to use some gold coins to invite Bai Xing to do some charity activities. , then, hey hey hey, you understand!"
Cough cough cough.
The little fat man concealed his insignificance.
Lei Luo was speechless.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Bai Xing's house together.
Unlike Lei Luo who first rented a house in the old community and then stayed at the home of Gu Bo, scholars with titles such as Bai Xing, Xiao Kang, and Aoun often bought a house in the college. This is why the housing prices in the college are so strange. Extremely high reasons.
"Shirahoshi, happy birthday."
Lei Luo opened the gift box, Bai Xing picked up the earrings and said happily: "It's so beautiful! Thank you!"
Xiao Kang on the side also took out a gift box, inside was a sparkling hairpin butterfly.
"Dear Miss Bai Xing, I heard that you like the spring butterfly of Biqiu Mountain the most, so I asked my alchemist to create this magical hairpin based on the spring butterfly of Biqiu Mountain. I hope you like it."
"What I like is living in nature, carefree spring butterflies."
Bai Xing snorted at first, but then smiled softly and said, "But thank you for your thoughtfulness. It's very beautiful."
Seeing Bai Xing accepting his gift, Xiao Kang chuckled, looking intoxicated and satisfied, almost having all his inner activities written on his face.
The two found an empty seat in the room and sat down.
There were about twenty people who came to the banquet, most of them were students from Class 11. Yulia also changed into a silver-white dress and sat opposite Lei Luo, looking quite bored.
There are also a few unfamiliar faces, probably from other classes.
"Hi, Yulia."
Lei Luo said hello.
Yulia smiled: "You are a dazzling star now, Eye of the Sun, haha, isn't it hard to hide among the weak like us?"
When going to the Crucible Fortress for the mission, Yulia had always looked cold and mysterious. Now she changed into a noble dress and started to make light-hearted jokes.
"Stop teasing."
Lei Luo shook his head and picked up the wine glass.
After Yulia clinked glasses with Lei Luo, this girl, who was equally marginalized in the class, raised her eyebrows.
"Hey, those girls have been staring at you since you entered the door, especially Stiya. They have been staring at you for a long time. Even Magana looked at you three times intentionally or unintentionally. It seems that you are lucky today. If you do, you can end your single life.”
Well?
Lei Luo looked sideways at what Yulia was looking for.
Several girls smiled at me one after another, looking quite generous.
Lei Luo was a little embarrassed. He couldn't adapt to this kind of blatant sociability among nobles, so he had to pick up the wine glasses and respond from afar.
"Oh my God, Lei Luo, Magana is coming towards you!!"
Xiao Kang's excited voice came out from between his teeth.
Lei Luo looked at it, and saw Magana dressed in blue, elegant and graceful, and matching her calm and calm face, it seemed a bit fresh and refined.
Lei Luo stood up quickly, showing doubts.
"Can I sit here?"
Magana gestured to the empty seat next to Lei Luo.
"Of course, it's my pleasure, beautiful Ms. Magana."
It could be heard that Lei Luo's voice was a little reserved.
Several unkind glances came over. In addition to a male student who looked at Lei Luo, two female students looked at Magana. Among them was Stiya, who was already planning to get up. His face was very ugly. He had just half He got up and had to sit back down.
"Beautiful Ms. Stiya, would you be honored to invite you to dance?"
A male student in a black dress smiled and stretched out his hand to ask. I have to say that Stiya's low-cut corset dress today was very eye-catching at the banquet.
"Um."
After her face changed for a while, Stia forced a smile, put a hand on the male student's hand, and walked to the dance floor.
the other side.
"Giggle."
Magana covered her mouth and smiled, sitting next to Lei Luo.
"At the social gathering in the class before, some people said that you were a scumbag with no taste. Now that you look glib, you are not just an ascetic student who doesn't know how to communicate."
"Uh, I don't know what you have to say?"
"Ahem!"
As soon as Lei Luo finished speaking, Xiao Kang coughed.
"Lei Luo, since the beautiful Ms. Magana is here, you should invite her to dance first."
"Well……"
Lei Luo was silent.
Seeing this, Magana on the side actually took the initiative and said: "Then respected Mr. Lei Luo, can I invite you to dance?"
"sorry, I do not know."
Lei Luo was quite embarrassed and glared at Xiao Kang. Xiao Kang, who was looking proud and envious, was stunned and then apologized.
"It doesn't matter, it's easy to learn, I'll teach you!"
After the look of astonishment disappeared in a flash, Magana encouraged her thoughtfully.
Then at Magana's active invitation, Lei Luo blocked Magana's slender waist with one hand, held Magana's tender little hand with the other hand, and at the same time let Magana's hand rest on his shoulder, feeling Feeling the slight body heat of the girl in front of him, and in the gentle voice of Magana's instructions, he started to move stiffly to the music.
"Look, it's easy to learn."
Magana smiled on the dance floor.
"Um."
Lei Luo's steps were still stiff.
"Actually, I am more interested in the title of Eye of the Sun given to you by the school than in dancing. I wonder if Mr. Lei Luo is interested in having some academic exchanges with me?"
Obviously, Magana knows a lot about ascetic scholars like Lei Luo.
Because in addition to family matters, Magana herself is actually an ascetic scholar. However, as the only successor of the family, there are many things that she cannot escape.
She must take up this responsibility!
"it's here?"
Lei Luo said in surprise.
"certainly."
"Okay! I'm also quite interested in Ms. Magana's soul lens title."
Sure enough, just as Magana had guessed, Lei Luo immediately became interested after hearing the academic exchange invitation, and his excitement was undisguised.
At the birthday party, many eyes fell on the two of them.
But now, no one meant to laugh at Lei Luo, but showed envy. I don't know if it was because Magana was the female companion, or because she was awarded the title of Eye of the Sun in the academy, or something else.
after awhile.
Lei Luo's stiff dance caused some sweat on his forehead due to fatigue. Magana wiped away the sweat for Lei Luo and returned to their seats with Lei Luo.
At this moment, Xiao Kang finally successfully invited Bai Xing and was dancing to the music on the dance floor. Seeing Xiao Kang's elegant dance, Lei Luo had to sigh with emotion.
What a flexible fat man.
"Well, let me first talk about my research on the power of the spiritual soul..."
Magana and Lei Luo started academic exchanges.
To an outsider, one can only see Lei Luo Magana and Lei Luo Magana looking enthusiastic and talking happily. It seems that their relationship is heating up rapidly and they care about each other.
"I didn't expect that the usually arrogant Magana is actually a bitch!"
Stiya's eyes were about to burst into flames when she returned to her seat.
"You are obviously the daughter of an earl, and you already have wealth and glory. Why do you want to rob this commoner from me? What a bitch!"
Due to the comparison of status and status, Stiya is like an extremely conservative Gran noble. The more depressed the family, the more they care about these things.
That's it.
Lei Luo spent Bai Xing's birthday party in a heated academic exchange with Magana.
With the help of Magana's research on spiritual souls, Lei Luo had a relatively in-depth understanding of Willan's spiritual scholarship and gained a lot.
The end of the party.
Magana finally asked about the purpose of her trip.
"Haha, then, Master Gu Bo, what do you think of Prince Ping?"
Well……
The conversation at the last moment was about the current business situation of the Magana family. Prince Ping had been a guest, and Mentor Gu Bo did not teach him about star scholarship. At this moment, the two topics were connected, and Lei Luo was instinctively wary.
After a moment of hesitation, Lei Luo smiled and said, "The mentor has his own opinions, and I don't understand either."
"Keke, I'm just asking."
Magana understood.
Didn't you support Prince Ping?
Through this birthday party, most people achieved their goals, while a small number of people left angry.
The aristocratic social circle of the Principality of Gran consists of countless such banquets, forming its own unique political ecosystem.
