Caledo hesitated and wanted to continue talking, but Jesse immediately changed the subject and started talking about other things. It was obvious that few of them were too lazy to know the names of Garen and Effie, and they just looked at the clothes they were wearing.
It can be seen from the level of clothing that their levels are not in the same circle.
Weimar then walked up to the platform in the center of the banquet hall and loudly announced the start of the banquet, asking everyone to eat and have fun. All the young men and women immediately raised their glasses or juices and chuckled. After saying some emotional words, Weimar left the stage.
Come back to Caledo, change into a band and go up.
"By the way. Vesga just came back from Jindili. The plane passed by Huaishan and she wanted to take a rest. I held a banquet today and called her here. She will drive over in a while. She is probably on the way now and will finish her meal later.
Let's go pick her up together." Weimar took a sip of the plasma wine in the cup.
"Going soon?" Caledo frowned, "I still have friends here..."
"What's the matter? I'll just go and talk to them. Just let them go back alone. Our circle hasn't gotten together once in many years. This is a rare opportunity,"
"Why don't you ask them to go together? We are all my friends and we can get to know each other." Caledo said hesitantly.
A hint of disapproval flashed across Weimar's face.
"Calledo, I hope it's just us old friends getting together tonight, and it's better not to let other people get involved." Seeing Caledo hesitate, he continued, "You didn't like Weiss the most before.
Why not? Now that she has finally come here, you won’t even pick her up? Besides, we only have four cars, and there is no room for the two of them."
"Okay, don't ruin everyone's fun. If you don't want to say anything, I will."
Caledo was a little silent. He suddenly regretted inviting Garen and Effie to the banquet. He didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many years, the Weimar eldest brother he once admired had become a little incomprehensible...for a while.
The perfect image in my mind before has gradually faded away. But no matter what, Weimar and he have been friends since childhood.
"I... I'll see what happens later." He replied in a low voice, still a little hesitant.
Weimar frowned, and the smile on his face slowly sank. He patted Caledo on the shoulder. "You should think about it yourself."
As soon as Garen and Effie entered, they were wandering around the dining table in the banquet hall, eating.
Apart from Calledo, the two of them didn't know anyone else at the banquet, and new people who they didn't know walked in from time to time. The people who came in were all boys and girls of seventeen or eighteen years old. As soon as they entered the door, friends greeted them, chatting and laughing.
There were only two of them who didn't know anyone. They watched people talking and laughing, and they gathered in small circles to chat. Unconsciously, they felt that they were redundant.
"If you can't let go, just eat. Kaledo is entangled now and can't leave. It's impossible to let him leave so many friends without him, so just stay with the two of us, right?" This was what Garen whispered to him.
As Effie said, she picked up the dinner plate and went to pick up food from a distance.
Indeed, it felt unnatural to just stand there like this. Effie walked uncomfortably to the dining table, followed the example of others in holding up the plate, and carefully scooped out the soup in the bowl with a spoon to drink.
Except for her and Gallon, everyone else present was either rich or noble, and the gorgeous and glorious banquet hall was extremely eye-catching.
In comparison, her dress, which cost less than 200 yuan, and boots, which cost about 100 yuan, looked extremely conspicuous and out of place in the small hall. Many of the food randomly placed on the dining table were things she had seen in the mall.
The expensive food I've been to, a random dish is much more expensive than all the clothes and clothes she's wearing.
Pfft..
Suddenly there was a burst of slight laughter from the side.
"Sister, that soup is not for drinking, it is for gargling." A young girl next to her couldn't help laughing.
When Effie heard this, her face suddenly turned red and she almost choked. She quickly put down her plate and picked up a paper towel to dry her mouth.
"I... I may have seen it wrong..." Even her neck was completely red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at the other person's face.
"The soup basin is so obvious... You've never encountered mouthwash soup before a meal, have you?" The girl smiled coquettishly again, and another girl walked next to them, and the two of them murmured.
After a while, he also covered his mouth and started laughing softly.
Effie stood there with her head lowered, her cheeks and neck were all red. She just felt hot all over. She couldn't walk or stay on the carpet. She wanted to find a crack in the floor and crawl into it.
"Does it matter? Is the mouthwash soup so poisonous that I can't drink it?" Garen walked over from the side and frowned slightly.
He was wearing high-end clothes that cost hundreds of dollars, but he was not at all restrained. In his eyes, these young men and women present were just chickens that could be crushed to death. After killing someone, he would look at others
When he was an ordinary person, his mentality and perspective also had completely different changes. Especially in this world, there was not much danger in killing people. This made Garen's mentality gradually stabilize, and he became less and less important to things other than strength.
"It's just mouthwash soup. I also like to drink it. Isn't it funny?" Garen scooped up a ladle of mouthwash soup from his own soup bowl and drank it in large gulps. The mouthwash soup tastes a little sweet and has a bit of mint smell.
It doesn't taste bad to drink.
"It's okay, it's okay..." The girl saw that Garen's face was natural, but she was embarrassed to say more. She glanced at the two of them with an ambiguous look, "You continue, continue..." The two girls walked away slowly,
When I left, I couldn't help but chuckle after walking a few steps.
Garen frowned as he watched the two of them walk away, and then looked at Effie behind him.
"Okay, don't worry about other people, just do whatever you want."
Effie nodded silently.
"How about we go talk to Caledo and go back first. The decoration of this place is good, but the people are a bit lacking." Garen shrugged naturally.
Seeing Effie just nodding, her cheeks so red that she couldn't even raise her head, Garen turned around and walked in the direction of Caledo without saying anything.
Kaledo was chatting with a girl with bright eyes. They were talking about nothing. Most of the time, the girl took the initiative to bring up the topic, but Kaledo was a bit perfunctory. When he saw Garen walking over, this guy really couldn't stand still.
"I'm going to see my friend first. He might have something to do with me, so I'll excuse you." He just found an excuse to leave, and without saying a word, he walked directly to Gallon.
call...
As soon as the two came together, Caledo let out a long breath.
"Did you see that the beauty with dark blonde hair and shoulder-length hair is my engagement partner? How do you feel?"
"It's okay, isn't it very good?" Garen asked doubtfully.
"It's just so good...I feel so useless in comparison..." Caledo looked frustrated.
"Okay, I came here to tell you that Effie and I want to go back first, so you can spend more time with these friends."
"I also want to introduce you..." Caledo stopped talking and was silent for a moment, "Then...I'll see you off."
"No, we can do it ourselves. I'll take Effie back first. I run every night and I'm used to it. But you shouldn't ask me to come with Effie tonight. Are you right?" Garen's voice was slow.
Sink slowly.
The expression on Caledo's face gradually became silent.
"I don't have a problem. You know Effie's family background. Her family is much worse off than mine. She is a top student of the college. It's strange that she doesn't feel nervous in such an occasion. Just now she gave out some mouthwash soup.
It’s ugly to drink soup. She’s a girl.”
"It's my fault." Caledo whispered, "I thought it was just a few people chatting casually and it wouldn't be too much trouble. I didn't expect the scene to become so big..."
"I don't blame you, you also have good intentions. Okay, let's go first, you have fun." Garen patted him on the shoulder and said no more. The latter opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but there was nothing.
He didn't say anything. He could only watch Garen return to Effie, and the two quietly walked out of the hall door together. No one noticed them except himself.
Garonne and Effie left the hotel, walked along the street where traffic flowed, and slowly headed toward the suburbs along the sidewalk.
After Effie made a fool of herself, she suddenly became a different person and became taciturn. She didn't say a word the whole way.
"It's not a big deal. Don't take other people's eyes too seriously. After today, they didn't have much interaction with us, and everyone gradually forgot about each other." Garen comforted. "Don't blame Kaledo.
, that guy is just slow-minded and would not have expected this situation to occur."
"I didn't blame him." Effie straightened her red ponytail, "It was a joke I made without knowing anything. Why should I blame others?"
"Don't think too much." Garen patted her shoulder, "You are still you, just like before, don't let this little thing affect your mood." In fact, he was wandering around the city these days and accidentally discovered Effie.
's secret.
This stubborn red-haired girl only has a seriously ill mother in her family. She also needs her to take care of her other sister and brother. Her father ran away from gambling and ran away, leaving her to pay it off slowly. Fortunately,
As an outstanding student of Saint Orioles College, I receive a scholarship every year to support my family. I also work part-time jobs after school to earn some money. This is barely enough to support my younger siblings’ tuition fees and my mother’s medical treatment.
In fact, this girl has been working hard and persevering. For other students, school study may be mechanical and boring, but for her, it is a rare relaxing time.
"Okay, don't be depressed..." Garen was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes froze, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly flashed across the corner of his vision. He closed his eyes suddenly and looked away. "Let's go, I'll take you back early.
It’s time for me to go home.”
"No, actually, I can go back alone, I don't need you to send me there." Effie shook her head. Subconsciously, her eyes suddenly flickered, and she looked at Galen with a suspicious look. "You can go back by yourself.
I can do it."
Garen could also tell that she didn't want people to know about her home situation. He just happened to have some things to deal with, so he nodded. "Then you should pay more attention to yourself. Just go home. Don't hang out for too long. Maybe
Not safe.”
Effie nodded silently and turned left along the street intersection.
Garen stood behind and watched her leave. It wasn't until her figure completely disappeared around the corner that he tugged on his collar and walked towards a dark alley on the street. After a while, he got in and disappeared into the shadows.
