The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I don’t know if the host of the dinner paid attention to the weather forecast when deciding the date. This is probably the heaviest rain this autumn.
Anbo Pavilion had to close the doors and windows to make the rain pouring outside a little less, but everyone knew that it was not because the autumn rain had stopped, but because they, the rain-listening people, had cunningly dived underwater, and then came under the water again.
Dancing in the water, occasionally raising my head to see the ripples in the sky, I just think it is the appropriate starry sky in the autumn scenery.
The buffet time was over. The student union cadres who temporarily acted as waiters rang the bell, and the crystal chandelier on the second floor of the hall lit up. An imposing man in black formal clothes and wearing silk white gloves came down the curved stairs on both sides.
Beautiful girl in white dress with flowers.
The band conductor on the second floor was arranging the cuffs, and the band was making final adjustments to the instruments. The people in the Anbo Hall were noisy for a while, like a school of fish swimming in the water. There was not much sound, but everyone could see
It's bustling, but it follows a certain pattern.
After all, it is reasonable to compare the "crowd" in the Amber Pavilion to a "school of fish". The behavior of a school of fish is never disordered. The basis of the complex group behavior displayed after swarming is individual behavior, and the relationship between individuals and
The relationship between individuals is the key element of group behavior for reasons such as survival, avoidance, foraging, courtship, reproduction, etc.
If the behavioral model of "fish schools" is established as a mathematical model, then there must be a variable in the modeling. The biggest variable tonight is roughly "courtship". This may have lost some of its beauty, at least.
The men who walked towards the girls bent down and stretched out their hands to invite them. After all, they all came from the same etiquette teacher, so there was always nothing wrong with their movements.
He originally didn’t want to get involved in this activity, but sometimes it backfired.
The school of fish flows, but there are always people going against the current, so it was not difficult for Lin Nian to find the black koi carp among the fish.
The extra sliver of black in the white snow was particularly eye-catching. She seemed a little at a loss as she stood in the crowd and looked around. Many people's eyes fell on her, and they were surprised by her bold and unique behavior. They hesitated and naturally
I can't help but feel moved by the beauty and youthfulness that are carefully dressed up.
It was okay to leave, but he had to take the little fish he had brought into the fish pond with him, otherwise he would appear to be too ruthless.
Lin Nian walked up to Su Xiaoqiang and looked sideways at her. The black evening dress carefully prepared for today was very beautiful and outstanding, but even she herself could not have imagined that she would be outstanding to such an extent.
When she was all white, only her body was so shockingly black, but her lightly pink neck was even more eye-catchingly white.
She seemed to have noticed the appearance of the people around her. When their eyes crossed, her mood quickly stabilized, and the light in her eyes became calm and undetectable with joy.
She was always happy so easily, but he was never surprised because she was always happy when he saw her most of the time, so he sometimes thought that she was always so happy, which seemed good.
"I really didn't know that the dinner party requires you to wear white." Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lin Nian in front of her and pinched her black silk gloves. The evening dress on her body made her chest slightly lean forward and her waist and hips were tightly cinched, so she didn't look like a monster.
"Do you believe me when I say I didn't mean it?"
"There is no hard and fast rule to wear white, but after all, this is a host's dinner, and few people are willing to do things like upstage the host." Lin Nian looked at her for a while and said calmly, "And local cultural issues, in the
No one here dares to say that black is bad."
Su Xiaoqiang was startled for a moment...then he felt a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the boy in formal clothes in front of him again. He was as good-looking as before, and more beautiful than ever before, especially when he appeared in front of him at this time.
"What should we do now?" She glanced at Lin Nian and smiled courageously, then looked at the colorful fish around her and asked, "Shall we sneak away quietly? Go out for some fresh air?"
“It’s raining heavily outside.”
“We can tread water.”
Lin Nian slightly raised his head and looked at the girl staring at him, and then remembered that she had never seemed to be a peaceful person, and had a dark history of encouraging him to skip class and go to music exhibitions in high school.
But he still refused because: "These clothes are very expensive, and dry cleaning is also very expensive."
“I’ll make it up to you!” The little goddess looked like a little goddess wherever she came, humming and smiling as she looked at the boy in front of her.
Lin Nian didn’t quite understand. He thought to himself, should you compensate me or should you accompany me?
But immediately he felt that this question was uninteresting because the meaning was the same.
“Actually, I have always thought that Kassel College has an unknown tradition since the beginning of the school year.” He looked at Su Xiaoqiang’s elaborate dress and said, “When new students enter, there will always be a senior who will take him to the first dance.”
At this point, he seemed to have accidentally caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and paused again... Su Xiaoqiang looked over at his corner of the eye, and saw Lu Mingfei and Finger dazed together in the center of the buffet, wiping their mouths with napkins.
I said.
“...Sometimes it may be a senior.” He added.
"Is there a senior who will take you to dance?" Su Xiaoqiang heard what the boy meant, and her heart felt like a deer jumped up and bumped into her heart. She was so happy that the corners of her mouth almost raised uncontrollably, but she still tried her best to restrain herself.
Stay and maintain the restraint and elegance that this dress should have.
“Yes.” Lin Nian nodded honestly.
“It seems to be a tradition, so can I ask Senior Brother Lin Nian, are you my senior tonight?” Su Xiaoqiang smiled happily, with bright eyes and white teeth, and the earrings swayed slightly under the crystal lamp to reflect the light.
Lin Nian looked at her stunningly beautiful outfit, as well as the slightly dark circles under her eyes from staying up late to choose a dress under light makeup and not catching up on sleep. He couldn't help but think to himself, do you still want to be someone else's junior sister tonight?
But the words still couldn't be said out loud, and it still felt like he was talking a little bit, and he had the feeling of a domineering president.
He had seen the girls in his high school class holding "Painting" and bursting into tears and smiling with joy. Later, he quietly borrowed a copy of Lu Mingfei's issue and carefully tasted it, and then came to his evaluation.
But there are only two words, hypocritical.
Do you still remember what Lu Mingfei said about him at that time? Oh, that boy seemed to point at his nose and bluntly said that he was the biggest bitch in the class.
Because bitches are so pretentious.
He took Su Xiaoqiang's hand and asked the girl to stand upright.
It was today, at this moment, that Lu Mingfei looked at Fingel in front of him with a stern face, who was bending down to him very gentlemanly to invite him to dance, and then looked at the black pearl that seemed to be exposed in the distance.
Lin Nian with fair-skinned girl hands.
He seemed to be able to read an emotion that could be conveyed without words from Lin Nian's peripheral vision...Friend, who is the bitch now?
“Junior brother?” Fingel stretched out his hand with a somewhat awkward expression, “Hold it!”
Hmm, the biggest bitch turns out to be here... Lu Mingfei stared at Fingel with dead eyes in front of him, who was forcing himself up the steps.
The dance was about to begin, and everyone found their dance partners, like swans intertwining with their snow-necked necks on the lake. Many people cast interesting glances at Lu Mingfei, and saw the burly but extraordinary Fingel in front of him.
Curious what he would do.
On the curved stairs, Nono, who was in a purple skirt, walked down the handrail, holding on to the handrail. She also looked at this strange scene on the dance floor with curiosity. Naturally, she was also surprised that the dance partner of this 'S'-level junior brother could be such a strong and powerful partner.
A big man, the most important thing is that she actually knows this man.
Lu Mingfei became the center of attention, and with his back on fire, Lu Mingfei let out a long sigh and reached out to grab Fingel. He became the only YY chromosome among the group of XY chromosomes.
You can't just abandon your options and run away.
It’s really like a nightmare.
He will be very weak after coming to Kassel College, but this time he has Lin Nian by his side, but he will still be very weak.
But at this time, the other hand was placed in front of Shai Zai's eyes. It was as white as snow, and the dark purple blood vessels under the skin could be clearly seen.
He was stunned for a while, stopped walking towards YY, and looked at the petite girl who appeared beside him at some point...a girl who looked like an ice sculpture!
Curious and dazed eyes met eyes as calm as a frozen lake.
Although she is petite, her figure looks so graceful against the backdrop of tonight's fairy tale-like crystal high-heeled shoes and silver dress. Her silver-white suit is more dazzling than all the white on the snow. It is like a frozen spring in the snow. A frozen spring
There is also a white swan in it.
Everyone is looking at her, whispering her name and telling her background. It seems that even if she is a freshman in the same class as Lu Mingfei, she has her own popularity, allowing people to clearly remember her and think highly of her.
own pride.
Lu Mingfei recognized this white swan that suddenly appeared in front of him. Zero, this was her name, or code name. It was hard for him not to remember this girl. When school started, they became comrades who fought through the hail of bullets.
I just didn't expect that she was also on the student union's invitation list, and would appear in front of me when I was most embarrassed.
That’s it again.
When Lu Mingfei needed help the most, she appeared, as if it were so natural and reasonable, with a queen-like indifference on her almost transparent face.
Alms or pity? Neither.
It can’t be that she owed him something in the previous life, right? This statement is too funny. To repay the favor, it should be a little fox or a crane, not a princess who is so proud that it is difficult to look directly at her.
But if I had to say it, Lu Mingfei and she were still cadres of the same club... Ling also joined the Lion Heart Club at the invitation of Chu Zihang.
Now it is reasonable for cadres to invite each other to dance, right? Everyone has seen that he has stepped into the situation of social death. Perhaps as a member of the Lion Heart Club, the other party kindly gave him a hand?
Lu Mingfei is very good at descending steps, especially making steps for himself. He can even roll down steps if necessary.
Under Fingel's shocked and betrayed expression, Lu Mingfei resolutely held the hand of No. 0 in front of him. He was a little cheeky, but if someone scolded him like that, he would honestly say that it was because he was hurt.
's calling.
He felt that as a man, he had to straighten his waist. The girl invited him to give him face. If he dared to lose face, he would be in trouble. He was invited to this dance and accepted it, no matter what.
I’m done dancing...as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn’t tell me to stop, I can do it on the living room balcony!
Fingel stared blankly as his unloyal junior brother was led away by the proud and indifferent girl like a puppy. He stood there alone and was embarrassed... He couldn't blame Lu Mingfei, but as shameless as he was, he immediately seemed like
Like a weasel, he scanned the dance floor where the music was starting to play, looking for a lone chicken... Every junior sister he saw bowed down gracefully and freely, or snuggled into the arms of his male partner... He really didn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young.
!
But the hard work paid off, and Fingel finally found a girl without a dance partner, standing in the shadow of the missing crystal lamp in the corner. He immediately straightened his collar in high spirits and walked away like a peacock.
He walked over and wanted to show off the warm-hearted senior's care...but when he got closer, he stopped dead in his tracks.
Because he recognized that the one standing unaccompanied in the shadows was actually the Finnish princess of the Lion Heart Society.
The Finnish princess leaned against the wall and her nonchalant attention fell on the embarrassed Fingel in front of her. A faint smile appeared on her face that even this old man couldn't quite understand.
Fingal immediately rearranged his collar... where it was smooth and rolled back.
It's great, the right people have the right dance partners, this dance will be wonderful, right? The girl looked at the boy and girl holding hands on the dance floor and greeting each other and shook her head slightly, with no trace of emotion on her face.
Joy is sadness.
This time, she turned around and walked to the terrace in the heavy rain. She gently bit off the white silk gloves on her hands and took out the mobile phone from the bodice of her dress. She dialed a pre-stored number. She had already walked into the terrace before the call was connected.
, the sound of the door and the heavy rain separated her from the perfume and full human scent on the dance floor.
—
It is 11:30 at midnight, half an hour before the clock strikes midnight, and the rain is still getting heavier.
Under the glass dome of the Baroque style library, the wall lamps on the wall illuminated a corner of the oak table in front of the bookshelf, where a beautiful figure sat opposite the window with heavy rain, and the only sound in the entire library was the sound of her turning the pages.
, and the low sound of heavy rain on the dome.
Behind Qian Ying, her shadow was stretched on the bookshelf as tall as the wall, swaying slightly. This is unreasonable. The figure under the constant light should not be swaying. It should be as quiet as its owner, like
It's a painting.
The sound of hot water boiling.
The sound of turning pages of a book.
Then the sound of rain.
On the floor in front of the table, the girl's shadow was quietly printed, extending all the way to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance.
On the bookshelf against the wall behind her, the girl's elongated shadow was dimly illuminated by the flickering fire.
A person is stretched out into two shadows in the same space, completely different shadows, which naturally proves that there are two light sources in different positions... This all seems to be reasonable at once.
On the wall on one side of the bookshelf, the wall lamp is quietly and constantly lit.
In the middle of the table, an alcohol lamp was burning silently on a small stove, emitting a weak firelight.
Feeling that time was almost up, she stopped flipping the "Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinal Materials" in front of the table and raised her hand to open the brass cover of the small stove... The whole library was filled with the aroma of medicine.
It’s really a familiar medicinal smell...
Lin Xian thought as he looked at the envelope sandwiched in the heavy book.
Suddenly, she felt worried again. If she was found making a fire to cook something in the library, she would definitely be scolded by the administrator, right?
The rain outside the window kept falling, getting heavier and heavier, as if it was about to swallow up the castle in the mountain. There were no stars in the sky anymore, only darkness.
It’s up to him.
Lin Xian thought again.
As long as it is not discovered, it will be fine.
As long as I can help him, wouldn't it be great?
She put on the cap of the alcohol lamp, so for the time being, her shadow was the only one left in the library, as still as still water and as motionless as a mountain in the swaying rain.
