After the sky darkened, Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao went to the banquet hall.
There are many demihuman women wearing gorgeous dresses with smiling faces, especially the long skirts on women. Standing together, they are almost competing for beauty. It is a very eye-catching picture.
When entering the venue, Shen Ruo saw that many of the people who came to the banquet were in pairs, and they were walking together, both women and demi-humans holding the arms of men.
After entering, they would naturally let go and either pick up the wine glass or start talking with people they knew, with smiles on their faces.
Rather than a graduation banquet, it was more like the upper-class gatherings Shen Ruo had seen on TV and in movies.
It was only after seeing this that Shen Ruo realized the difference between himself and the Emperor Star, because on Cross Star, few people would enter such a formal occasion.
She would have to dance inside later. Thinking of this, Shen Ruo started to feel a little nervous again.
"It's time to go in."
The slightly low magnetic sound was accompanied by a smile. Chu Xiao raised his elbow, revealing a gap. He motioned to Shen Ruo to hold him, his handsome face full of tenderness.
Many people around him were like this, and Chu Xiao's movements were very natural. Shen Ruoxin reached out to hold him, and the two of them walked in together.
There was constant laughter and conversation in the hall. There were waiters walking among the crowd carrying wine trays, and there were also drinks and desserts placed on the beautiful long tables with bright lights.
When the waiter came over with the wine tray, Shen Ruo let go of Chu Xiao.
Taking two glasses of wine, Chu Xiao handed it to Shen Ruo and said, "This one has a low alcohol content and the taste is suitable for demi-humans."
Shen Ruo rarely drank, but Chu Xiao had already brought it to him, so he took a small sip. It was sweet fruit wine, so he rolled his eyes at Chu Xiao.
Under the light, Shen Ruo's eyes were bright, and Chu Xiaojun's face kept smiling.
More and more people entered the venue, and the dance had to wait a while before it started, so Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo around the banquet hall, and they went to a terrace on the second floor.
Since coming in, Chu Xiao has not left Shen Ruo, nor has he spoken to anyone else. However, Shen Ruo noticed that several people were looking at Chu Xiao in surprise. He didn't know what was going on, that strange feeling. Up again.
There are not many people on campus at night. It is already dark outside. Standing on the terrace, you can see the lights of high-rise buildings in the distance. The summer night wind blows in slowly, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. The night sky is dotted with brilliant stars. .
There were not many people on the second floor. Even if they wanted to come over, they saw someone had occupied it in advance, so they had to turn around and go somewhere else.
After entering the terrace, the bustle downstairs disappeared and it became much quieter here.
During this month in Emperor Star, Shen Ruo saw many things that he had never seen before, but every time he came out, Chu Xiao was always with him.
After his second uncle left, he thought he would be alone in the Emperor Star. Shen Ruo was at a loss as to what to do. It was completely normal for a little Asian who came from the countryside to be afraid of being lonely. What's more, he was a member of the Shen family. Sent for that reason.
On the day Shen Ping left, when Shen Ruo walked into the gate of the Duke's Mansion alone, he actually felt a little unable to hold his head up because his second uncle had taken money from the Chu family.
But then he met Chu Xiao, who had been comforting him, buying clothes, taking him to eat things he had never eaten before, experiencing the experience of Ada Town, and also invited him to the graduation ceremony.
Chu Xiao was very kind to him, and always encouraged and comforted him when he made mistakes, telling him that he would do well next time. Shen Ruo had never even heard a word of blame from Chu Xiao.
A gentle and considerate person of the opposite sex takes great care of him and gives him all his patience and companionship.
Shen Ruo knew that Chu Xiao had spared a lot of time to accompany him in the past month, even when he was about to graduate. Even though Chu Xiao said he would no longer have classes, Shen Ruo still silently remembered it in his heart, just like now. , Chu Xiao did not go to find other familiar people, but brought him here.
"In mid-August, a small star field will collapse in the edge of the Gulan Galaxy. The residents of the surrounding planets have already evacuated. When the time is up, you can see that ancient star field collapse and disappear. I have already planned the itinerary. "
Chu Xiao smiled and said to Shen Ruo. He was a little taller than before. Shen Ruo had to look up when she looked at him.
The pampered eldest young master has an extraordinary handsome appearance. He smiles like this and is extremely considerate in his actions. This kind of gentle attack is difficult for Xiaoyaren, who is just starting to fall in love.
"You can leave early then, and you can go wherever you want."
After saying that, Chu Xiao knew that Shen Ruo was introverted and not very courageous, so he didn't dare to ask for anything, so he added: "This is also my graduation trip. I want to go to a few more places, but I'm afraid I won't be able to choose."
In fact, Shen Ruo knew that Chu Xiao was afraid that he would not say anything, and Chu Xiao always took care of him like this.
The warmth in his heart flowed, and a faint smile appeared on Shen Ruo's face unconsciously. Chu Xiao looked at him and smiled, and the smile on Jun's face became even greater.
Chu Xiao raised his glass to signal, and Shen Ruo naturally raised the wine glass in his hand.
Accompanied by the gentle breeze and the starlight in the night sky, Chu Xiao pointed to the stars in the sky and showed Shen Ruo the direction of the star field they would go to in August.
Shen Ruo listened carefully to what he said about the scenery and some customs there, and quickly finished the wine in his hand. The sweet fruit wine made him couldn't help but take a few more sips.
Seeing Shen Ruo finish a glass of wine, Chu Xiao smiled helplessly and asked Shen Ruo if she still wanted to drink. After a moment of hesitation, Shen Ruo nodded and smiled lightly.
So Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo to stay here, and went downstairs to get him another drink, and would be back soon.
Watching Chu Xiao go downstairs, the tall and thin figure looked very reliable. He was in such good shape that he was just a walking clothes rack. Shen Ruo only withdrew his gaze after he could no longer see him.
Not only does it taste sweet in your mouth, but it also feels a little sweet in your heart.
The light on the terrace was relatively dim, and the brooch on Shen Ruo's chest was always shining. The sparkling starlight shone among the dark ink-colored gemstones. It was very beautiful and matched well with the night sky outside the terrace.
After Chu Xiao came up, the two of them stayed on the terrace for a while. Chu Xiao looked at the time and saw that the dance was about to start.
So he asked Shen Ruo to put the empty wine glass on the railing of the terrace, and told Shen Ruo that someone would pick it up after they left, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
Shen Ruo, who had great trust in Chu Xiao, followed suit. The railing was relatively wide and he could place the wine glass on it stably.
However, Shen Ruo, who was about to go downstairs with Chu Xiao, saw Chu Xiao reaching out to him.
Blinking his eyes slowly, this was the same action Chu Xiao would do when dancing.
In the past few days, Shen Ruo had become accustomed to holding hands, so Shen Ruo subconsciously put his hand up. He thought he was going to continue like this first.
Unexpectedly, after Chu Xiao held his hand, he bent down slightly and placed a soft kiss on the back of his hand.
Chu Xiao kissed his knuckles, and it was a very light kiss.
"Kiss the hand." After standing up, Chu Xiao did not let go of Shen Ruo's hand. His eyes were focused and serious. He looked at Shen Ruo and said, "I am very happy that you agreed to be my partner. When I originally invited you, I I want to do this etiquette.”
"In the Emperor Star, hand-kissing is done by women and demi-humans who have a higher status than themselves."
The two stood there, Chu Xiao held Shen Ruo's hand, and Shen Ruo looked up at him. After hearing these words, he suddenly understood what Chu Xiao wanted to say. In Chu Xiao's heart, he had a very high status.
His heartbeat was in chaos at that moment, but Chu Xiao seemed to know nothing. He still looked focused. He said: "The kiss on the hand is just a virtual gift and cannot be truly touched, except..."
At this point, Chu Xiao looked a little embarrassed to continue talking.
Just as the music on the first floor started to sound, it was just a prelude, signaling that the dance was about to begin, so Chu Xiao didn't say anything further and led Shen Ruo downstairs.
When the music he had listened to for several days started playing, Shen Ruo subconsciously knew what to do, but it was his first time dancing in front of so many people, so he was still a little nervous.
In order to take care of Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao took him only to the outside of the dance floor. Sensing Shen Ruo's nervousness, he laughed softly.
"Don't be afraid, just look at me."
The low magnetic voice carried a certain reassuring reliability, so Shen Ruo raised his head and looked at Chu Xiao.
The lights in the hall dimmed slowly. Shen Ruo followed Chu Xiao without making any mistakes. He was a little curious about the lights, but the expressions of the people next to him were as usual. It seemed that this dance should be like this.
The gems on his chest shone like stars as the light dimmed. Shen Ruo knew that he couldn't afford such a gem brooch, but Chu Xiao said it easily, as if it was really not a good thing, so Shen Ruo didn't take it to heart. , just give it back to Chu Xiao when you get back.
But one or two Asians and women next to him had surprise in their eyes when they saw the gem. They glanced at Chu Xiao again, and as the dance steps changed, their sight was blocked.
The rare starlight gem that the eldest son of the Chu family had photographed the year before last had been hotly discussed in the circle for a while. Because of the preciousness of that gem, it would take thousands of planets to find just one like it.
The gem itself is formed by the melting and shrinking of the core of a planet after its death. After an extremely rare and long-term transformation, the starlight emitted is natural, not the artificial starlight produced by some jewelers.
This gem was in Chu Xiao's hand. He threw it at 7 billion without any emotion on his face. After getting it, he played with it casually and found it quite boring. He bought such a thing for 7 billion.
At that time, Chu Xiao was only sixteen years old. Many people were wondering how rich the Chu family's financial resources were. The heir who was not yet an adult could spend so much money at once, and it looked like he was just throwing money away for fun. .
After Chu Xiao took the gem, many people in the circle were waiting to see who could wear it, but no one around him had ever worn it until now.
Shen Ruo was new to him. Apart from Jiang Chen, it was also the first time that Chu Xiao had brought him to someone he knew. Many people were speculating on Shen Ruo's identity.
Several bright-eyed Asians and women glanced at Shen Ruo's gem brooch several times while turning around and changing positions.
The things Chu Xiao brought out would definitely not be fake.
Seven billion gems have attracted the curiosity of many people.
Shen Ruo noticed the gazes of those people. They were all graduates of the same level as Chu Xiao. Maybe because he didn't know them, he glanced at him more.
After the first dance, Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao left the stage. There were still others behind, but he only practiced this one, and Chu Xiao didn't plan to stay here any longer, lest people talk too much and show up. Something that is difficult to control.
When the two of them went out, Jiang Chen arrived late, accompanied by a beautifully dressed little Asian. The two of them behaved intimately, and they were not the same person Shen Ruo saw last time in the clothing store.
After seeing Chu Xiao, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. He looked at Shen Ruo and found out that the treasure Shen Ruo was wearing was a brooch. He raised his eyes again, with a slightly naughty smile on his handsome face.
Chu Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows at him, with a smile on his face. Jiang Chen naturally understood what he meant, he was about to take the bait.
Shen Ruo had been warned before, but it seemed that Shen Ruo had never been suspicious.
Jiang Chen sighed in his heart. He could almost imagine that Shen Ruo would probably be sad for a while when he found out that Chu Xiao was just lying to him.
However, being able to get these seven billion things is a much greater benefit than those people before Chu Xiao. Even if they go back, they can sell their things and do nothing in this life, and they can have no worries about food and clothing.
After saying hello, Chu Xiao left with Shen Ruo, but Jiang Chen had just arrived, and someone he knew in the hall waved to him. He would stay here for a long time.
After leaving, Shen Ruo didn't know that people in the banquet hall who were extremely curious about him had gathered around Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to find out who Chu Xiao had brought today.
Rumors and scandals always spread the fastest.
Many people in the school are not from the same circle. It is common for Jiang Chen and Chu Xiao to skip classes. Even some of their classmates are not very familiar with each other. Instead, they get along with the people outside, so they don't want to talk about these gossips and perfunctory things. A few words.
But people here are more or less aware of Chu Xiao's past deeds, and there are also people who are also hanging out in District D. After seeing Chu Xiao's good-tempered and patient appearance, they were still extremely surprised, thinking that he had lost his temper. It's time to clear up.
But seeing Jiang Chen's expression of no interest, I knew in my heart that Chu Xiao was just playing for fun.
Someone quickly used their power to find out Shen Ruo's identity. He was a young Asian from the countryside. He had no background, and his relationship history seemed to be blank. He was an innocent and ignorant Asian. Now many people were upset. The thought of watching the fun.
The status of the Chu family is there, and Chu Xiao is a famous playboy in the Emperor Star. People in the same circle probably guessed what he was thinking. He was just teasing an Asian who didn't understand anything. He was considered a playboy. Fresh toys.
And not all students in the hall were fairly innocent students. There was a beautiful Asian who had been with Chu Xiao. Thinking of the seven billion gem just now, he felt envious and even jealous. He felt unwilling to do so. When I followed Chu Xiao, I never got such a good thing.
But he didn't dare to hang around in front of Shen Ruo, because Chu Xiao came specifically to find him when he came down from the second floor. He thought that Chu Xiao was interested in him again, but he didn't expect that he would not be allowed to get close to Shen Ruo. The cold and indifferent expression made him feel very uncomfortable.
The news that Chu Xiao was with a new person soon spread, and it was completely different from his previous aesthetics. The people Chu Xiao had been with before, whether they were men, women or Asians, all looked gorgeous and flamboyant. That one, and Shen Ruohe doesn't have much in common with these two points.
After the news spread to District D, everyone who knew about it was watching the fun and even made bets on when the eldest son of the Chu family would get tired of playing and leave to find new fun.
―――
Chu Xiao drove the car in another direction. Shen Ruo was confused and looked at the driver's seat.
"Take you somewhere." Chu Xiao said with a smile. He didn't say where, but it aroused Shen Ruo's curiosity even more.
Soon, the hover car stopped in front of a building. Without any stop, Chu Xiao drove directly into the elevator.
The two got off the car at the top floor. There was a strong wind blowing above. Shen Ruo smiled. Although he didn't know the purpose of Chu Xiao bringing him here, the wind blew like this, which made him feel very comfortable both physically and mentally.
"I'll show you something." Chu Xiao smiled softly. He turned on the optical brain and made a few strokes.
Soon, in the direction he pointed to Shen Ruo, the building in the distance lit up with flashes of light, forming various patterns, and Shen Ruo kept smiling.
After the sound of the cannon sounded, Shen Ruo's surprised eyes saw countless fireworks exploding in the sky in the distance. The fireworks were so beautiful that they were not just in the opposite direction. There were fireworks all around them. The sky will be illuminated.
"I made a reservation, but I didn't have enough to eat in the afternoon."
After the fireworks dissipated, Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo and said, after seeing Shen Ruo's bright eyes, he couldn't help but touch Shen Ruo's head, and he was in a very good mood.
Seeing the cute and sweet smile on Shen Ruo's face, his eyes sparkling, Chu Xiao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he remembered the sweetness of toffee again.
He took out two toffee from his pocket. After Chu Xiao came back from outside yesterday, he saw a plate of candies in the living room. He didn't know what was going on, so he walked over and picked out a few toffee.
He didn't eat in the end, but when he came, thinking that he would be out for a long time and that Shen Ruo might not be full for dinner, he put candy in his clothes.
There were two toffee in Chu Xiao's open palm. Shen Ruo looked at it. He took one, peeled it open and put it in his mouth. Chu Xiao took the candy wrapper and put it into his pocket.
The sweetness of the toffee gradually melted in Shen Ruo's mouth. He had never thought that the candy could be so sweet, and it made him feel sweet in his heart.
"Do you like it?" Seeing Shen Ruo looking up at him, Chu Xiao asked with a smile.
Under the starlight, Chu Xiao's figure was reflected in Shen Ruo's eyes.
There was a quiet emotion that spread in Shen Ruo's heart. It had been hidden for a while, and finally emerged from the sweetened toffee, pounding her heart.
