Chapter 160
But Orson was still much taller than Lite after all. Orson, who was sitting behind Lite, would inevitably see the mirror when he turned his head.
Fortunately, Leeteuk put his hand in front of his chest in time to prevent any embarrassment between the brother and sister.
"Well, Orson, help me pass this strip of cloth from the other side." Lite wrapped a strip of cloth from the front and then said to Orson.
Orson took the cloth, then passed it around Leeteuk's smooth back and handed it to Leeteuk from the other side.
With the help of others, Li Te's entanglement became much smoother. Soon, the hill on the girl's chest turned into a plain.
Even Orson couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.
Although the two of them inevitably had some skin-to-skin contact during this process, some of which even made Liteuk couldn't help but hum. But you were silent and I was silent, so neither of them said anything.
"Okay, thank you Orson." Li Te said, took the dress from the hanger and put it on.
"Okay, Lena is still waiting below. You go with Lena quickly. This is your first social event, so you can't make any mistakes."
"Yeah." Lit nodded and quickly walked downstairs.
Looking at Li Teuk's back, Orson couldn't help but sigh with emotion. (monthly fee group)
Lite, she has indeed grown up.
Orson stood at the top of the stairs and heard Lite apologizing to Lena downstairs, and then the two of them rushed to the dance venue.
Shortly after the two left, Orson also changed into an evening dress and then put on a mask.
Compared with the mask at the ball, Orsonday's cover area is wider. After all, he doesn't want to be seen by others.
But as expected, there was a knock on the door.
Orson walked to the door of the room and opened it.
At the door, a beautifully dressed girl appeared in front of him.

Lianka looked at Orson who had already put on the mask, and was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Oson, why are you wearing the mask now?"
"Isn't this to prevent others from recognizing her on the street?" Orson explained, and then looked at Lianka's outfit in front of her.
"Lianka, you are dressed quite beautifully today."
"Huh, that's natural. You still need to evaluate my taste." Lianka was so praised by Orson. Although she was a little happy in her heart, she still turned her head pretending to be dissatisfied.
However, her slightly red face and faint smile revealed her mood.

Chapter 58: Fighting for a dance partner
"I don't know where the dance is. Can you take me there?"
"Yes." Lianka nodded, then walked in front of Orson, leading the way for Orson.
After walking for less than a minute, she seemed to have thought of something. She blushed and stood next to Orson, stretched out her hands to hold Orson's arm.
"Uh... what are you..."
"Let's get used to it in advance. I don't mean anything else." Lianka said softly.
"By the way, Orson, can you dance?"
"Well, I'm still good at dancing." Orson said.
As a noble, dancing is a compulsory etiquette course. In social occasions such as banquets, you occasionally need to stand up and dance to liven up the atmosphere.
Of course, in this era, the dance of the nobles was basically to a fixed beat, similar to a waltz, and it was not difficult to dance to it.
Compared with the appreciation of theater dance, this kind of dance pays more attention to elegance and propriety. As long as there are no problems with the pace and rhythm, there is basically nothing wrong.
"That's good." After hearing this, Lianka breathed a sigh of relief.
If Orson can't even dance, that's a bit numb
I'm annoyed. After all, I don't dance very much. When the time comes on the dance floor, the two aliens will definitely be looked down upon by others.
Finally, they arrived at a high-end restaurant in the college. At this moment, through the window, the two of them could see a large number of people gathering in the restaurant.
"This restaurant has two floors. We are on the second floor." Lianka said and walked in with Orson.
The first-year students had only seen Orson in some public places, and since Orson was wearing a mask at the moment, no one recognized Orson.
On the contrary, it was Lianka next to her. Because she was relatively famous in the first grade, someone took the initiative to say hello to Lianka as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Seeing that they all had this reaction, Orson was quite satisfied.
Since no one has discovered him now, he should be able to spend the night smoothly.
After arriving on the second floor, several more girls approached Lianka, who seemed to be Lianka's classmates.
"Hey, Lianka, the dance partner next to you doesn't seem to be from our class?" A girl with short chestnut hair stepped forward curiously and asked.
"It's true that they are not from our class. After all, I don't like the people in our class either." Lianka said proudly.
"Hey~?" The girl with short chestnut hair lengthened her tone curiously, then moved closer to Lianka and whispered:
"Well, Lianka, do you mind if we exchange dance partners? I see that your dance partner has a pretty good figure and looks like he is definitely a handsome guy. My dance partner is not bad either. I got semen from a cowherd shop outside the school. Carefully selected.”
"How about it? Do you want to consider it?" The girl said this, pointing to a man not far away. The man was obviously very open and winked in the direction of the few people.
"Forget it." Li Anka shook her head. "I still think my dance partner is better."
Li Anka said this, leaning towards Orson.
"Hmm." The chestnut-haired girl was obviously a little bored. "Lianka, you are so conservative."
"... Maybe." Li Anka nodded.
"Forget it then." The girl said this, but raised her head and looked at Orson.
"Hey, little brother, can you leave me your contact information?"
Li Anka just looked at Orson, a little nervous, and her hand couldn't help but tighten Orson's sleeve.
And Orson just shook his head indifferently, not even saying a word.
"... Really boring." The chestnut-haired girl said this, and looked at Li Anka again.
"In a sense, you two are really suitable to get together."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Orson saw that her dance partner took the initiative to greet her, put his arm around her waist, whispered something in her ear, and soothed her emotions.
He even turned around and cast an apologetic look at him.
To a certain extent, these people engaged in the service industry do understand the ways of the world better than those young ladies.
At least this look of his has saved the girl a lot of trouble.
"Okay, don't pay attention to her. She is usually like a socialite, playing more happily than anyone else." Lianka said this, and actually took the initiative to comfort Orson, and then took Orson's hand and took Orson to a window seat.
"I say, Lianka, can this kind of place and this kind of activity really cultivate your social skills?" Orson asked doubtfully.
"In my opinion, this kind of masked ball is just a chance for those noble young masters and young ladies who indulge in pleasure to relax. If you like these and adapt to them, you can certainly deal with this group of people, but I can feel that you don't like this kind of aristocratic social atmosphere."
"Hmm..." Li Anka was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then lowered her head with a red face.
"I just want to come and see it with you... I feel more at ease with you next to me..."
But Orson didn't hear the girl's weak voice clearly.
"Li Anka, what did you just say?"
"Nothing." Li Anka shook her head quickly and stood up.
"Since Orson doesn't like the environment here, let's eat something next to it. I'll go get you something first." Li Anka quickly got up and ran away, and went to the dining area to get some food and snacks.
When she came back again, Orson was surrounded by several girls.
"Sir, I wonder if I can have the honor of inviting you to dance with me on stage?" A pink-haired girl looked at Orson and said with a smile.
The girl's figure was not bad, and her face was covered by a mask, but from the half of her face that was exposed, we could tell that she had a good foundation.
No one would refuse an invitation from a girl like this, but Orson just shook his head.
"Sorry, I have a partner."
"Ah, sir, you probably don't know the rules of this dance. In fact, a partner is just a condition for entering. When you get here, partners can separate and find new partners. It doesn't mean that you can only dance with your own partner." The girl said this, as if she was still fighting for it.
"So that's the case. Thank you for your reminder, but I'm sorry, I don't want to dance now." Orson said this, politely rejecting the other party.
"Really? That's a pity. I was thinking about dancing with you and spending a good night together." Hearing this, the girl could only shake her head.
At this time, Lianka also returned to Orson.
"You approached me without permission when I was leaving, trying to seduce my dance partner. Did you go too far?" Lianka did not indulge the other party, but confronted him directly.
Chapter 59: Rosalin
"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be Lianka, the second in the first grade." The pink-haired girl seemed to know Lianka, so familiar with her that she could recognize her even if she was wearing a mask.
"Rosalin, you did it a bit too much?" Lianka said, frowning and looking at the girl named Rosalin.
"Sorry~" Rosalin said, clasping her hands together, her attitude looked very sincere.
"I just saw this gentleman leaning against the wall alone, so I thought of inviting him, but it seems that as a dance partner, Lianka, you didn't tell this gentleman all the information about the dance..."
"That's... that's what I forgot, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"That's true." Rosalin nodded, then smiled and left with her little followers.
Lianka then sat down angrily and put the plate in front of Orson.
"That girl named Rosalin looks quite unusual, but I don't think I've heard of her name before, Lianka, are you familiar with her?"
"I guess so." Lianka nodded. "Rosalin was the third in the class, so she always thought that I, Lit, was an eyesore."
"But this person's communication skills are very good. Her father is a general of the empire. She comes from a family of military attachés. Although she is not hereditary, there are still many small nobles around her who are willing to follow others' influence."
"So that's it..." Oson nodded when he heard this, and then thought of the current generals of the empire.
"Is she the daughter of General Scaloni, nicknamed the White Knight? After thinking about it, it seems that he is the only one of the right age."
"Yeah." Lianka nodded.
Although this kind of military attache family is not a hereditary noble at present, it has great potential.
Like Orson's family, Lucius was also a military attaché, but later became a new duke.
Before Lucius, if they could reach the top of the empire, senior military attachés like generals would basically receive a fief and become counts or barons when they retired if they did not have a fief themselves.
Although the enfeoffment system was adopted, the land of the empire did not remain unchanged for thousands of years.
Sometimes, after the nobles who rule a piece of land die or commit major crimes, the land will return to the hands of the royal family. In the end, the royal family of this kind of land will basically give rewards to those who have made meritorious deeds, and the first choice among them is to live and die for the empire. of warriors.
Orson picked up a bamboo stick, poked a piece of fruit into his mouth and chewed it.
"Speaking of which, Orson, you are really popular. When you first came in, someone wanted to invite you. I left for a while, and someone found you again."
"Maybe... I am too charming? Those innocent girls can't walk as soon as they see me?"
"Bah, it smells shameless." Lianka cursed in a low voice, and then ate the food on her plate.
At this time, the atmosphere of the dance gradually became lively.
Many people have already walked to the center of the stage and started dancing to the music.
"Orson, do you want to... try it together?" At this moment, Lianka also plucked up the courage to ask Orson.
"Okay, I don't have any objection." Orson nodded, then stood up.
"But let me tell you first, don't blame me if you don't dance well or are laughed at by people around you.
I. "
"No, I'm not very good at dancing either..." Lianka was not as arrogant this time, but instead became polite with her cheeks flushed.
After one song ended, the two walked onto the stage together, and the next song was about to begin.
Orson reached out and took Lianka's hand with one hand, while the other wrapped his arm around her waist.
