Turned out I am a Scheming Little Cannon Fodder

All Shen Ruo's thinking ability was interrupted by this question, and for a moment, he even felt that his mind was blank.

He looked at Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao's figure was reflected in those extremely beautiful eyes. He seemed to be unable to feel everything around him, as if he was the only one left in his eyes.

Chu Xiao never got an answer, but he was not annoyed at all, and even had a smile on his lips. He looked at Shen Ruo who lowered his head slightly and pinched the corners of his clothes nervously with his fingers, looking very uneasy.

Shen Ruo's ears were slightly red. When Chu Xiao saw it, he felt an indescribable feeling of relief. The beautiful little fish he caught took the bait.

When lunch time came, the butler sent Ari off and walked towards the main building. The aircraft flew over the Duke's Mansion at an extremely fast speed.

"If one day you want to tell me, I will tell you too."

Chu Xiao's voice was gentle. He didn't say it clearly, but Shen Ruo and he both understood.

Such words are very instructive and tempting, making people unconsciously think that Chu Xiao's answer should also be yes.

But only he himself knows what the truth is.

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiao stopped mentioning the matter. He extended his hand as an invitation, gesturing for Shen Ruo to walk to the main building with him. His gesture was very gentlemanly.

When Shen Ruo turned around and walked towards the main building, the smile on Chu Xiao's face was filled with satisfaction and evil. Then he followed Shen Ruo and the two of them entered the restaurant together, wearing that gentle and elegant skin, he was still the same A well-educated noble man.

In the dance studio, the person dancing with Shen Ruo was no longer the virtual image.

Chu Xiao hurriedly finished the graduation matters in the morning. Of course, in order to complete these matters as soon as possible, he used a lot of the so-called privileges belonging to the nobility.

As for whether it will cause controversy from other people, anyway, he knows that he is "famous", and it doesn't matter how many names he has.

"This place can be closer to me, yes, that's it. Don't be too far away, otherwise others will know that we don't have a good relationship at a glance."

Chu Xiao made a little joke and motioned Shen Ruo, who had been keeping a distance, to get closer to him.

The warm and dry right hand was holding Shen Ruo's hand. Seeing that although Shen Ruo's expression was a little hesitant, he was still obedient in the end and took a small half step into his arms. At least he was closer. The smile on Chu Xiao's face became even bigger. .

The soothing prelude of music sounded, and Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo to start practicing.

The two of them now have some tacit understanding. Shen Ruo has practiced hard enough in the past two days and has become very smooth when cooperating with Chu Xiao.

Apart from the sound of music, there was no other sound in the dance studio. It was like they were the only two people in the world.

The light fragrance of Shen Ruo's body temperature made Chu Xiao couldn't help but lower his head slightly. If he were closer, he could kiss the top of Shen Ruo's hair as soon as he lowered his head.

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful, but Chu Xiao felt much better when he thought about Shen Ruo having taken the bait. If he couldn't meet her now, there would be many opportunities in the future.

Time passed quickly, and the dress was delivered to the Chu family on Monday. After Shen Ruo tried it on, it fit her perfectly.

After rehearsing several dances with Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo had already danced well. Then he spent a nervous night, and the next day was Tuesday.

In addition to this dress, there was also a small decoration, a brooch inlaid with gems.

Like women, many Asians like gorgeous clothes and various small decorations. Asians grow their hair long, paint their nails and do beauty treatments. There are even brands that specialize in selling Asian skirts. These are very common things and no one likes them. It would feel inconsistent, because for thousands of years, demi-humans have a relatively weak character, and everyone is used to this.

Shen Ruo didn't feel much about any of this, and he wasn't suitable for the overly gorgeous style, but Chu Xiao told him that it would look better with such a small decoration on the dress, so Shen Ruo gave it a try.

Chu Xiao's dress is naturally custom-made. It is a black dress that he often wears, with a white shirt underneath.

In fact, in Shen Ruo's opinion, Chu Xiao is very suitable for this kind of dress. He has a good figure, and the restrained black color also suits Chu Xiao's elegant temperament.

The clothes that were delivered to Shen Ruo were also black, and in some small details, he found that they were the same as those on Chu Xiao. This was discovered when he and Chu Xiao set off to school together on Tuesday.

As if he suddenly discovered a sweet little secret, Shen Ruo didn't say anything, but his eyes curled up.

In the suspended car, Shen Ruo sat in the passenger seat. Instead of letting the driver drive, it was Chu Xiao himself.

The graduation ceremony is in the afternoon, followed by the banquet in the evening. Not only the banquet, Shen Ruo can also go to the graduation ceremony of Chu Xiao School. He is still a little curious.

He is only two months older than Chu Xiao, but he went to school earlier, so he graduated a year earlier than Chu Xiao.

At this time last year, he graduated from Cross Star High School. The graduation ceremony ended after the principal, representative teachers and students spoke. There was no graduation banquet, only a small private gathering of students. After a meal, everyone Dispersed.

Many classmates went to other developed planets for development, and some of them, like Shen Ruo, did not choose to go to university for further study, so they stayed on Cross Planet. However, after all, they had to shoulder their livelihood and became busy, so they did not have many contacts. .

The hover car drove very steadily. They set off early and drove slowly without losing time.

When passing through an underground tunnel, mottled light and shadow kept flashing, and the car was darker than outside.

Shen Ruo suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that the brooch pinned to his chest was shining.

So he lowered his head slightly to see. It was not an illusion, it was the gem on the brooch that was glowing.

The overall color of the originally translucent light ink-colored gem became darker, and inside the gem, there were countless rays of light flashing like broken stars.

It's like a small square of the night sky and stars are accommodated in it.

Shen Ruo was extremely surprised. He thought it was just an ordinary gem, because when the Chu family put it on, no starlight appeared.

The brooch is exquisitely made, but the shape is relatively simple and smooth. The color of the gemstone is light ink, not too conspicuous, and looks very low-key, so Shen Ruo never expected that this gemstone would have such wonderful changes.

Chu Xiao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, noticed Shen Ruo looking at him and turned his head, with a smile on Jun's face.

"I got it at an auction a few years ago. I forgot to call it Broken Star or Starlight. When it is in the dark, its color will deepen, and the starlight hidden inside will also appear."

Chu Xiao explained as the hover car drove out of the underground tunnel.

The sun's rays shone into the car again. When Shen Ruo looked at it again, the gem returned to its low-key look and no longer glowed.

"If you like it, consider it a gift to accompany me to the banquet."

The hover car has three uses: water, land and air. Chu Xiao merged the car into the high-altitude driving lane and entered the express lane. As it ascended, it reached the flight range of the aircraft.

The speed of the car was obviously much faster than it was on the ground just now. After the slight discomfort, the car was moving forward quickly and at a constant speed.

Shen Ruo shook his head and said, "It's too precious."

Chu Xiao chuckled, and stretched out his hand to rub Shen Ruo's head.

"There are quite a lot of this kind of stone in the Emperor Star. It's just because it shines that the price is high. It's not precious in itself."

After Ari came last time, the distance between the two began to get closer inexplicably.

As for Chu Xiao's slightly affectionate gesture of rubbing his head, Shen Ruo had been treated like this from time to time in the past few days, so he was no longer surprised.

"Still not." Shen Ruo had a slight smile on his face, but he still rejected Chu Xiao's kindness.

It took an hour's drive to reach Chu Xiao's school. The hover car slowly drove in along with the traffic. The school would only allow students to drive in on graduation day.

Shen Ruo looked at the imposing school gate, which was indeed in line with the style of the Emperor Star and was very grand.

After getting out of the car, Shen Ruo looked around. Those wearing formal attires and costumes should be graduates and their dance partners, while those wearing more everyday clothes should be other students.

The school is very big, and the auditorium is also very large. Shen Ruo followed Chu Xiao and walked inside. The seats were arranged in advance, so there was no need to occupy seats.

The time was just right. After Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao sat down in the front row, most of the graduates in the auditorium had arrived.

While the host was speaking, one or two figures would occasionally rush in from outside. Some were late graduates, and some were junior students who wanted to see the ceremony. Everyone was silent.

Shen Ruo looked at the stage seriously, but even so, he still felt that people around him were constantly looking over. The feeling of being watched was so obvious that he couldn't help but quietly turn around and take a look.

Two boys sitting together saw him looking over. One of them had purple hair and bright earrings. After Shen Ruo looked over, they looked away as if nothing happened.

Shen Ruo, who felt a little strange, had to turn his face, confused, but the host invited the principal to speak. Everyone in the auditorium applauded, and Shen Ruo's attention returned to the front of the stage.

The principal sent blessings to all graduates, and then came the speeches of the student representatives.

Shen Ruo saw a boy with silver hair and light gold eyes walking up. He was tall, thin, and very good-looking. His name was heard by Shen Ruo just now, Arnold Elvis.

It seems to be the surname of a duke in the Emperor Star. Shen Ruo doesn't remember these well because there are many dukes in the Emperor Star and many of their surnames are very long. He can roughly remember this one because it ranks higher.

The graduation ceremony went on one after another, and when it finally ended, it was evening.

A boy from Chu Xiao's class called him. After obtaining Shen Ruo's consent, Chu Xiao asked him to sit here and wait. He would be back soon.

Most of the people in the auditorium were walking outside. Shen Ruo turned on the optical brain and wanted to take a picture of the entire auditorium, because the auditorium was very beautifully built. There were many students on the stage taking photos. Shen Ruo knew this place after seeing it. Photography is allowed.

Shen Ruo controlled the optical camera to look back, and a young boy with black hair and black eyes appeared in the camera, holding a bouquet of flowers decorated with crystal water drops.

The two accidentally looked at each other. The other person looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. Shen Ruo smiled at him kindly.

The young boy who had just walked down also smiled sweetly at him. There was a shallow dimple on his left cheek, which looked very sweet.

The little boy walked to the stage, put the flowers in his hand among the rows of decorative flowers, and left.

It was just a strange pass in the vast sea of people. Shen Ruo couldn't help but curl his eyes at this encounter with goodwill. Goodwill always makes people feel happy.

Soon, Chu Xiao came over. He took Shen Ruoxian to the school restaurant for dinner. On graduation day, the school would prepare a very special dinner, and there was no charge for it. Anyone who could enter the school gate could have it. Go and eat.

However, many people just fill their stomachs because there is a banquet in the evening, and the most important thing is the dance. Eating too much is not good for the image.
