Xiao Yi's brows slightly rose, and then swapped to a cup of strong wine and drank it all in one gulp. Any man would feel uncomfortable when they saw that their woman and another man were having an ambiguous relationship.
And it was also at this moment that Xiao Yi finally understood that his feelings for Lan Mei’er had grown deeper, and he had already fallen into the whirlpool of love.
Seeing that he had invited Lan Mei’er, the smile on Xiao Zhiyuan's face became even more brilliant. In the middle of the dance floor, he held Lan Mei’er's small hand and began to spin, approach, and split apart as much as he wanted. One by one, they performed elegant gestures and displayed their most beautiful dancing moves.
Xiao Zhiyuan was tall and handsome, Lan Mei’er was extremely charming. It looked like it was a couple dancing the most beautiful dance in the world under the lighting.
However, people could still tell that Lan Mei’er was just being perfunctory, he was still dancing with his stiff steps. Furthermore, ever since his face had walked to the center of the dance floor, it had been ice-cold, like a piece of ice that hadn't melted in a thousand years. He was expressionless.
Anyone who looked at Lan Mei’er's expression would know that this woman was just being courteous and cooperating with Xiao Zhiyuan. Xiao Zhiyuan had clearly noticed this scene as well, but he thought about the news that was transmitted to him by his family. The trace of dissatisfaction in his heart was quickly suppressed. Then, he began to dance with all his might. His familiar dance moves made him look like a floating cloud, which sometimes led to cheers from the entire hall.
At this point, the ball was almost over. Some of the people who had good intentions started discussing with each other while Lan Mei’er and Xiao Zhiyuan were dancing:
"Third Young Master, today is the day where everyone accepts the most invitations. It was like an endless stream of people had entered the venue, never stopping. Just a moment ago, there were still so many girls waiting in line. "
"That's right. Third Young Master is in the limelight right now. He's basically unstoppable." "In my opinion, if this goes on, all the girls in the city will be taken advantage of by Third Young Master."
"Hehe, when the time comes, Third Young Master will really have a group of wives and concubines, and his children and grandchildren will be all over the hall."
"To awaken one's authority and lie drunk on the knees of beautiful women has always been the greatest dream of every man. Third Young Master has now truly achieved his goal and is truly a role model for us. "
… ….
Praise for the third young master came one after another. Everyone began to talk about the Third Young Master with relish, looking forward to and worship him. When the Third Young Master heard these whispers, he laughed even more happily.
No matter how mechanical and stiff the Lan Mei’er in front of him was, it was useless. At this moment, Xiao Zhiyuan felt his entire body floating, and even flying up while jumping.
Some people praised this number one, while others were looking for comfort.
"Who received the least invitation this time?" I've been invited three times, which is a bit small. It can't be that I'm the last one, right? " Immediately, a man spoke in a low voice.
"Hehe, who knows? I've been invited five times." The other man looked pleased with himself.
At this time, beside these two people, there was a young master from a wealthy family. He glanced at Xiao Yi and laughed sinisterly: "Don't worry, you guys are not the least. There was a person over there. Today, he had been sitting on a cold bench for the entire night. From start to finish, it has never been opened. "
The young master of a wealthy family looked towards Xiao Yi's direction after he finished speaking.
In that instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yi, who was drinking until his face had turned red.
"It can't be, how has he not been invited once? Didn't he bring a partner? Doesn't he have a close female friend? "
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
It was impossible for a ball like this to happen without being invited. Usually, there would be two or three female friends who would bring a partner to support him before coming to the ball. However, Xiao Yi was a rash person, he did not understand much about these rules. Furthermore, Lan Mei’er disdained doing all these, so he did not have the time to dance with Xiao Yi.
When someone jeered, a young master from a wealthy family looked at Xiao Yi and asked with a fake smile: "I heard that you, Mister, were not invited tonight? Just sit here and drink all night long? "
With someone asking, Xiao Yi had even become the focus of attention. Everyone looked over to see which three bumpkins had made it so bad.
People like to seek comfort, seek to be able to put themselves at the bottom. Therefore, Xiao Yi was now of interest to everyone at the ball. It was a straightforward thing to step on the weak and seek pleasure.
Xiao Yi noticed the burning gazes and looked up. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he nodded his head. He said with a sour tone, "Indeed, it is so. Tonight, I've been drinking all night in this corner. "
Xiao Yi's admittance caused everyone present to burst out laughing. Laughter began to sound out like waves of water hitting against a rocky reef. Some people laughed and moved back and forth, pounding their chests with their fists. Some people laughed out loud as they spat out the mouthful of wine that just entered their mouths. Some of them laughed and rolled down from the chairs, rolling on the floor without caring about their image …
None of them had expected that there would be such an idiot. At such a ball, they drank all night long. It was already embarrassing enough not to have been invited. You still don't know why you took the initiative to invite others. The dumbest thing was Xiao Yi admitting it in front of everyone's eyes.
Xiao Yi watched the entire audience as they laughed, and he laughed himself as well. He said to himself in the bottom of his heart: "Children are not fishes, how can they know the happiness of fishes? Drinking wine with such boundless grace was a joyous event in life. Delightful! Delightful! "I can't see her, her skirt is fluttering in the wind and her flowers are dazzling people's eyes!"
When Xiao Yi was feeling happy on his own, Xiao Zhiyuan, who was in the middle of the dance stage, was equally happy. As they danced, they hummed a little tune.
"With your stupid brushwork, you dare to mock me? Haha, truly ridiculous, truly laughable. " Deep in Xiao Zhiyuan's heart, he started to feel secretly satisfied.
Only, Lan Mei’er, who was dancing with Xiao Zhiyuan, had a cold expression. Using the corner of his eyes, he scanned the Xiao Yi who was mocked by everyone. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and his footsteps came to a halt.
Xiao Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback, then asked: "What's wrong?"
"Sorry." Lan Mei’er smiled apologetically: "After this ball, I still haven't properly invited the man I like to dance with. "Since there's still some time left, I would like to invite the man I like to dance with."
Hearing that, Xiao Zhiyuan's face turned green. He could vaguely sense that something was wrong. It was the first time that he was sweating cold sweat because he was nervous.
and Xiao Zhiyuan, who were both watching the match, stopped dancing, causing an uproar. Nobody knew what was going on, so they all looked in that direction with their mouths agape.
The music didn't stop. Why did the dance stop?
Everyone began to question themselves in their hearts.
Soon after, they found the answer. The fairy-like Lan Mei’er slowly walked to Xiao Yi's side, the smoke drifting as she smiled sweetly. Bending his waist, he opened his mouth and enthusiastically asked, "Sir, may I invite you to a dance?"
When Lan Mei’er blossomed into a smile, most of the men present became infatuated with her. In their memories, no matter who Lan Mei’er danced with, it would be when he danced with Xiao Zhiyuan. Neither of them laughed as a layer of frost covered their faces. But now she laughed, really laughed. And, laughing in front of Xiao Yi, who was laughing in front of him?
Furthermore, she actually said that she wanted to invite that useless man who had been drinking all night?
That's right, that's right. She abandoned the Third Young Master before coming to invite this useless man. Heavens, this woman was truly domineering. She actually abandoned the Third Young Master at the center of the dance floor and instead came to invite this man.
In that case, wasn't this man even more formidable than Third Young Master? Otherwise, this woman wouldn't have foolishly abandoned the Third Young Master to invite this man.
The scene immediately became chaotic and quiet. No one had expected that the man that they had just mocked. And now, he had been instantly invited by the goddess of their hearts. Moreover, the goddess had actually abandoned the third young master, who looked like a bright pearl, in the middle of the dance floor? These people blinked their eyes vigorously and scratched their heads. Only then did they sort out the relationship between them.
However, when they thought about it, their facial muscles stiffened. After a while, the muscles on his face suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
Standing in the middle of the stage, Xiao Zhiyuan's face was dark green. His tightly clenched fist had unwittingly sunk into his flesh. His upper and lower teeth were chomping.
The anger in his heart had been burning since he was young. Xiao Zhiyuan had never felt such humiliation before.
Xiao Yi raised his head, and gratefully smiled at Lan Mei’er. Right now, he understood Lan Mei’er's intentions.
Lan Mei’er gave a coquettish smile as she blinked her eyes at Xiao Yi, then raised her head. With a sonorous and forceful voice, he spoke word by word, "Who said that no one would invite him? It's just that I haven't had the time to invite him yet."
His voice was powerful and clearly echoed in the large hall.
