The huge Christmas tree, which requires several people to hug, is like a hill. It sits quietly and calmly in the corner of the dance. Countless tiny lights are dotted between the tree crowns. At the end of the branches that stretch vertically and horizontally, various beautiful gift boxes are hung.
Swaying slowly in the night wind, like ripe pine cones, every guest at the ball can pick one from it.
The thickest branches directly in front had most of their branches and leaves cut off, revealing several rows of dark green branches, arranged neatly like the jagged ribs of an old tree - the singing little wizards sat on those tree trunks, wearing
Wearing deer-antler hats, blue noses, red scarves, and large gray plaid robes, each one of them is dressed up like a deer-headed man coming out of the Silent Forest.
They danced and sang happily, and colorful magic sparks scattered behind them, making the night more gorgeous.
"Li Meng?!"
At a glance, Zheng Qing saw a little witch who was jumping up and down in the tree. He couldn't hide the surprise and uneasiness in his voice: "Why did she come to this dance... Is she the person you just mentioned? She came alone.
?"
The last two questions were addressed to Dylan.
Mr. Vampire Werewolf seemed to be even more surprised than Zheng Qing: "Li Meng is here too? Where is he? Eh? It seems like it's really her... She just looks a little smaller than usual... What did you just say? No! Of course.
No! I mean, I didn’t know Li Meng was here either. The other person I mentioned, look who is next to Li Meng?”
Zheng Qing patiently turned his attention back to the Christmas tree again.
This time, he checked the cheerful little faces on the tree one by one. Soon, in addition to Li Meng, he saw Lin Guo, Su Ya, and Zhu Si.
As soon as he saw Zhu Si, the young public-funded student was still in a daze. He subconsciously wiped his eyes and took a step forward.
"See?" Dylan's voice sounded in my ear.
"Zhu Si? She is now..." Zheng Qing said this and paused. He actually had a lot of questions to ask - 'She is safe now?' 'She is healthy again? 'She is free now?',
Wait, but when the words came to my lips, there were only four words left: "...Is it okay?"
As he said that, the boy looked around involuntarily, as if the well-dressed guests around him would turn around in the next second, revealing the evil and ferocious crow masks on their faces.
"have no idea."
Dylan spread his hands very honestly. It seemed that walking out of that depressing hall soothed his injured heart and made him more patient with the young public-funded student: "It didn't take long for me to notice her.
I received the news that you are here... you also know what happened next... Well, their performance should be over for now, and you can ask her yourself."
With the last brilliant fireworks, the singing came to an end, and there was a round of applause that was not enthusiastic but polite enough. The little wizards on the Christmas tree also stood up and saluted the audience under the tree.
"I never knew there were so many children in First University!" Zheng Qing shook his head and finally thought of another unusual thing.
"Most of them are from the Beta Town Chamber of Commerce."
In this regard, Linda Barnes has much better information than Dylan: "Beta Town is just outside Alphaburg, and the two families are already very closely connected. Through this kind of small program at the dance, we can slightly increase the relationship.
Everyone is happy... The Zhu Si you just mentioned is the instructor of the Edge Hunting Team? So, the details in the post are true, and she is the main target of those crows? "
She didn't know when there was a palm-sized notebook and a quill in her hand, and she was looking at the expressions of the two young wizards shrewdly.
Zheng Qing's slight guilt due to the previous misunderstanding immediately disappeared again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." He replied dryly, turning his back to the blonde witch, as if he was rude and refused to talk to her again.
But if he thinks that this will make the former winner of the 'Golden Feather' give up in spite of difficulties, that is too disrespectful.
The blond witch smiled slightly, put away her notebook and quill, combed her long hair, strode towards the Christmas tree, and picked up four young wizards related to Zheng Qing while the two wizards looked as if they had eaten shit.
"What does she want to do?" Dylan frowned and asked in a low voice.
"I want to interview Su Shijun." Zheng Qing moved his lips slightly and glanced around with alert eyes, fearing that someone would react irrationally when hearing his name.
"Then there's no way."
Dylan shook his head, sighed, raised a glass of red wine that he had picked up at some point, drank it down in one gulp, then snapped his fingers at the elf wandering around not far away, tilted his head and said to the young public student:
"She has always been interested in my mixed-race thing... I can hold it off for you for a few minutes. If you have anything to ask, hurry up."
The elves came to the boy carrying huge wine bottles.
Dylan took two full cups of amber light, put on a bright smile on his face, opened his arms, and greeted the little wizards brought back by Linda: "Welcome, welcome back, our teacher Zhu Si... you have changed again
You are younger! Yes, and you three, remember not to drink...Barnes, Barnes, let’s talk, I remember you are very interested in O’Brien and the Talbot family!”
The blonde witch looked at Zheng Qing, who was expressionless, and then at Dylan, who had an unquestionable expression on his face. Finally, he smiled slightly, took the wine glass, and walked aside obediently.
Zheng Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart.
Then he looked sternly at the four little guys in front of him - I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the guys in front of him were a little 'smaller' than he remembered - but at the first glance, he couldn't help but frown.
He raised his eyebrows, took a step back, and looked at it carefully.
"Have you taken age-reducing drugs?"
A word flashed through his mind and he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Si coughed hurriedly, Lin Guo tugged on Zhu Si's sleeve uneasily, and Su Ya looked at Zheng Qing with a confused look on her face, as if she didn't know what he was talking about - this expression matched her
That fluffy big tail that was completely different from the short tails of other 'reindeer' made her look even more stupid.
Among the swaying antlers, only classmate Li Meng smiled happily when he heard this.
"Is it so obvious?!"
She shook the short deer tail behind her carelessly, with a bit of complacency in her tone: "I just said that I am already a college student, so I can't act like a child and sing Christmas carols... Fortunately, Zhu Si was smart and helped me.
When it comes to the age-reducing agent, how about it? Did we sing well?"
