There is a saying that if it rains on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, it is called leaking autumn. The autumn rain will continue for twenty-four days, otherwise it will be the scorching autumn sun for twenty-four days.
Lin Nian didn't quite understand whether this statement had any so-called scientific basis, and he didn't quite remember whether it rained on the day of the Beginning of Autumn. He only knew that the autumn rain finally came tonight, and it was heavy.
He stood on the eaves of the terrace and looked at the castle submerged in the rain outside the white marble guardrail, like looking at the sea from the deck.
The light of the Amber Pavilion shone from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, and the Gothic ark lit up a guiding light on the sea. There were laughter and laughter coming from inside. At first glance, it looked graceful and upright.
Shadows intertwined and flashed in the light.
Those are the guests of the Anbo Pavilion tonight. Their dresses are stretched out, the men's hair is either meticulously combed or tied into pigtails in an artistic style, while the ladies, no matter how they treat their makeup, all they get is
It's just a different kind of praise.
Lin Nian sniffed slightly and smelled something that even the smell of rain couldn't suppress. It was the smell of hormones and pheromones. People in this hall were very excited tonight because they were celebrating that great cause.
A breakthrough like a milestone, with high spirits and bold and freehand conversations. Every time I look up, what I see is not the male or female companion in front of me, but a brand new distant future.
Lin Nian took out his phone and checked the time, then put it back.
It was at this time that the door to the terrace behind him was pushed open. The noise became louder, and then immediately became quieter. The people who entered the terrace locked themselves out together with Lin Nian.
"Don't you like this party?" the person who came into the terrace asked, and the voice sounded like a girl.
Lin Nian could guess who she was without looking back, because there was only one person who could speak Finnish to her. Depending on the situation, she would sometimes speak some Estonian and Hungarian. Although many people couldn't understand it at all, some
It didn't stop her from liking to do this, because these people would always ask her what she meant by what she just said in the next sentence, and she answered it carefully. If the other person remembered that sentence, they would naturally remember her as a person.
"It's too boring, come out and stand for a while." Lin Nian can understand Finnish. He had been pestering him for a while in the Lion Heart Club, and he had learned a little bit about it.
"You came out to stand for a while and enjoy the breeze after you were full, right? You've always disliked crowded places."
Beside Lin Nian, Wei Lewa stepped on high heels and walked to his side. She gently placed her hands on the guardrail of the terrace and stretched like a cat. The white dress with no extra decoration was on her body.
It was so tight that it reminded people of her former favorite hobby, which she had won a Winter Olympics medal for.
Perhaps she inherited her e-selection vision from figure skating. This girl’s dressing style always subconsciously chooses styles that fit her body and highlight her figure. She evenly applies some pearl powder and bright silver to her exposed skin, including her collarbones.
There will also be bronze powder in the depressions to highlight the curvature and depth. The beauty that can impress the judges will naturally impress the people around her, which will always bring a lot of convenience and new ideas to her life.
Kevileva noticed that the boy beside her did not look at her as much as other people in the club before. She pushed away from the terrace, walked onto the terrace, broke into this small private space in the rain, and now came to his
Everyone around him kept looking outside the terrace.
But what is outside? Villeva looked outside and saw only the shadow of the black clock tower in the wind and rain. The big clock was hidden in the top floor and whimpered gently. When the wind was strong, it would ring one or two bells. Maybe it would
It might not startle a few white pigeons to jump into the rainy night. After the white pigeons have been around Hong Zhong for a long time, they will always get used to this big thing that roars every day.
"You are the representative of the Lion Heart Club, but Chu Zihang didn't come?" Lin Nian withdrew his gaze and looked at Wei Lewa beside him.
"Very disappointed?" Wei Lewa also turned her head and looked at Lin Nian. Her platinum and diamond earrings were hanging down and swaying in the wind. Her pair of light gray heterochromatic irises unexpectedly matched the dress, making people unable to help themselves.
When I think of Finland, it is a country full of beauties, and it is also a country born for winter. Everything stained with white is clean and beautiful, including snow, castles, and Finnish girls.
"Can't talk about it."
After saying that, Lin Nian took another look at Wei Lewa. Normally, this girl would not talk to him like this. It was more like a subordinate talking to a superior. Maybe they were superiors and subordinates, whether it was in the executive department or in the academy.
Seniority (Lin Nian is naturally in the same grade half a year, this is no secret), or Norma’s pedigree judgment, or even class within the Lionheart Club. This girl respects him very much, but it seems that this respect is not there.
What is hidden today is something else.
Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows on the terrace, people walked gracefully. Men put their hands on women's shoulders or wrists. What the light shone on their skin was not light, but a lot of human movement under every inch of skin.
There should be a lot of people looking for him in the Anbo Pavilion now, right? At least when we were eating, many people were looking for opportunities to chat with him, talking about the development of the club, the advantages of blood, knowledge about dragons, and hybrids.
kind of future.
Everyone looked at him like a torch, trying to cover up the open flames in the Amber Pavilion. The beautifully dressed girls asked him if they could dance with him later. The colors on his eyes and cheeks were so bright.
Pure, senior schoolmates also became junior schoolgirls at this time. Some girls who were too tall even changed into flat shoes tonight just to have a good date after a dance.
memories.
Lin Nian said he was not very good at dancing, and they said they didn't care. Lin Nian said he was a little tired, so they said just one dance. Lin Nian said there were so many of you, so they said just choose one.
Lin Nian said that in ancient times, the scene of palace maids wandering around the lanterns in the garden and the emperor's beauty pageant under the emperor's court was nothing more than that. Well, he couldn't say these words, and all that fell on his face was silent helplessness. He always felt that these girls tonight were like
They were so bold and radical because they were stimulated by something, or maybe the student union president, the "dinner emperor", was too successful and stirred up the atmosphere.
He was very annoyed that he couldn't eat anything, and he became even more annoyed when he saw Lu Mingfei and his dance partner Fengel not far away having a fierce fight over Olong and cold cuts. (As for
Why is it a dance partner? Fingel’s celebration banquet is an invitation system. Each invited person can bring a dance partner to the venue. However, Fingel does not have an invitation letter. Fingel is still very hungry after eating a bowl of instant noodles. Lu Mingfei does.
Invitation card.)
But the people around him were all so polite and kept their distance. It would be easy if they were as restless as the former Kendo Minister of the Student Union. Lin Nian did not recommend performing another hand-clapping knife performance. Don't do it now.
He dared to take pictures of table knives and kitchen knives.
He understood why Chu Zihang chose Wei Lewa to take the post. Firstly, the girl was familiar with society because of her background and growth experience. Secondly, she was also a core cadre in the Lion Heart Club and could attend the student union dinner as a representative. Finally,
Third, she knew Lin Nian very well, so if anything unpleasant happened on the student union's territory, Lin Nian would definitely help her.
But Lin Nian still wants to say that Senior Brother Chu, you are really a blockhead, both in Shilan Middle School and in Kassel College. As for why you are a blockhead, if you knew you were not a blockhead, this is a philosophical question.
Looking in the direction of Norton Hall in Yuli, Lin Nian's eyes were a little heavy. It seemed that the brainwaves of scolding his friend were sensed by the girl on the side. He smiled and whispered, "Our president often does this like you. On rainy days.
He stood by the window and watched the rain fall from the sky. The more it fell and the faster it fell, the longer he stood. The vice president never let us disturb him. Maybe he likes quiet occasions like rain by nature.
.”
"Sheep sometimes stand still in the rain. In fact, this is their way of hiding from the rain." Lin Nian said expressionlessly,
"There are scales and grease on the surface of wool. If the sheep stands still, the rain will flow down, thereby reducing the area of the sheep that gets wet. If the rain is not too heavy, the sheep that stand still will end up with only the surface layer.
When the wool is wet, the thick inner wool is actually still dry and can also keep warm. But if you run around when it rains, the rain will more easily flow into the gaps in the wool. If the rain is heavy, the sheep's wool will
If they absorb too much water, they will be forced into a daze."
""Villeva was stunned.
"Sometimes, don't easily define someone you don't understand." Lin Nian took out his cell phone and glanced at the time, "Maybe your president is like a sheep who can't walk when it rains."
"There is no such explanation." Veleva gently touched her arm and smiled bitterly.
"Just because I'm standing here doesn't necessarily mean that I don't like the banquet inside." Lin Nian put away his phone, "It's just that there are a lot of things waiting for me to do tonight."
"For example?" Veleva tilted her head, "Dance with a girl as a favor?"
"One." Lin Nian said.
"Then am I qualified to dance with you?" Veleva took a step back slightly, stood in figure eight steps, bowed slightly forward, her left hand wearing a silk glove was behind her waist, and her right hand was bent forward.
A beautiful arc stretched towards Lin Nian, "May I?"
Lin Nian looked at the slender, gloved hand stretched out in front of him, and gently pulled her. A force spread to her whole body and she couldn't help but stand up straight. This was the skill of strength, an elective course in Tai Chi.
She had talked about it before, but she had never seen any student or even instructor use this technique so well.
But this would inevitably make her even more resentful. This method of rejection cannot be said to be rude, but it definitely cannot be said to be a gentleman. But if the boy in front of her really wants to say something to refuse, then even a gentleman will become incomprehensible.
, especially the one who invited him to dance was such a beautiful lady like her.
"I guess you brought a dance partner this time. You represent the Lionheart Club to attend the student union dinner. You will not do anything reckless and brave. You should have thought that if you were rejected by me, you should ask me to find someone."
Whoever dances the subsequent court dance, otherwise dancing solo without a partner will be an embarrassment to the Lion Heart Club. As the core cadre of the Lion Heart Club, you will not allow this to happen." Lin Nian led Wei Lewa.
Straighten up, let go and look at the dinner party behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Then as an honorary member of the Lionheart Club, would you allow this to happen?" Veleva said quietly.
"No." Lin Nian said.
Veleva was startled, her light gray eyes showing a light like snow, as if she was surprised by the recognition, but then her surprise was buried by the other person's words.
"Because I brought two male partners, and you know both of them. If you really don't have a dance partner, I can introduce you to one of them. You can choose between 1.8 meters or 1.7 meters." Lin Nian looked at the dinner party behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Deep in the eyes of the two figures who were still having sex, there was a flash of envy.
"This is really considerate." Veleva sighed, "Am I not good enough?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I always feel like there's something missing between us." Wei Lewa pointed at her and Lin Nian, "I can't walk over there, and you can't walk over on your own."
"What is your dream for the future?" Lin Nian suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic.
"Graduate and then join the executive department?" Veleva paused and then answered.
"Oh." Lin Nian glanced at Veleva and nodded.
"Why don't you dig deeper into this topic?" Wei Lewa looked a little weird. Once a boy and a girl talk about the future and dreams, they can always follow the topic to the present and love. But here, Lin Nian only gives
A beginning was made, and then the topic ended.
"Why do you need to dig deeper? It's just a simple question. I ask it and you just answer it, no matter whether the answer is true or false." Lin Nian shook his head.
"Of course my answer is true." Veleva nodded matter-of-factly, "What about your future dreams?"
"I do not want to say."
"You don't want to say it or you don't want to tell me?" Veleva pursed her lips. This was the first time she directly expressed her unhappiness in front of Lin Nian. In the eyes of everyone, she was European.
A nobleman, a powerful general of the Lion Heart Society, a princess with a rich family and excellent bloodline, she has many magnificent auras, but she has always had only one identity in front of Lin Nian, that is, a girl who has failed in her pursuit.
"You know this won't make me give up, right?" Veleva said, "Many people won't give up, unless you can give everyone a strong statement. After all, there are many people like me, and I can guarantee that
I am the most persistent one among them."
"Actually, I have always felt that this kind of pursuit is very unreasonable. The more unreasonable things are, the more afraid I am. Fear will create distance. Distance can represent beauty or fear." Lin Nian shook his head and looked at the rain outside the terrace.
explain,
"Actually, this is like a sheep hiding in the rain. I see the surface, but I can never guess the boring things underneath. This is the most profound thing I have learned in the two years since I entered school.
reason."
Wei Lewa looked at Lin Nian for a while, shook her head with a wry smile, turned towards the balcony door, opened it and left. Lin Nian stood on the terrace without stopping her or saying any goodbyes, just watching quietly.
She disappeared.
When she left, many eyes fell on the terrace where she came out. Naturally, they saw Lin Nian inside, and the crowd became excited again.
Lin Nian also pushed off the terrace and walked in. People gathered around him in an orderly and polite manner. He once again became the eye of the typhoon. Facing everyone's gaze, he looked away from the mobile phone that lit up the screen in his hand, and finally
After checking the time once, he turned off his phone.
The time on the phone screen is fixed at eleven o'clock at midnight, and there is still one hour before the zero o'clock bell strikes.
