Su Mo's military training passed by under Mu Yifeng's constant harassment. At the same time, on the day Mu Yifeng was sent to the infirmary, rumors spread like wildfire throughout the entire school. The second day, they all said that Mu Yifeng had become infatuated with the first year student, Su Mo, and abandoned. There was a storm going on outside, but the three people in the center of the storm did not seem to have any influence. They still did what they had to do, as if they did not know what was going on outside.
On the evening of Saturday, the first week after the military training ended, it was time for the welcoming dance at Qingbei University.
During the military training, the girls were all discussing about the upcoming welcoming ball. There were many balls at Qingbei University, including five older ones, namely the welcoming ball in September, the Christmas ball in December, the New Year's ball in January, the Valentine's Day ball in February, and the graduation ball in June. As for the welcoming party, it was even more important. The highlight of the event was the selection of the new primary and secondary school grasses and school beauties. The selected students often had the opportunity to represent the school and participate in some foreign affairs, which was very popular.
At this ball, Su Mo originally had no interest in this sort of activity, but in the end, she was forcefully pulled down by a roommate, saying that with Su Mo's beauty, she would definitely be able to win the prize for the new school beauty. Seeing how enthusiastic his roommate was, Su Mo couldn't help but agree.
Su Mo's roommate was called Liu Ruoying and was a girl from a southern river village. Although her appearance wasn't particularly breathtaking, she was indeed similar to a traditional Jiangnan woman. Even an ice beauty like Su Mo could be melted by her within a few days. It showed just how alluring her was to be able to completely trust her. Liu Ruoying's hobby was just like her personality. She especially liked the ancient musical instruments, especially the zither, which she was quite knowledgeable about, she would often imagine herself wearing a snow-white cheongsam, with the hem flapping in the wind. She sat in front of her zither and played the most beautiful song in the world, softly talking about her love.
Su Mo had intentionally delivered Su Mo's gown to her, so she would definitely not take it if she was given it. But Mu Yifeng knew that Su Mo definitely would not take it, and had people bring it straight to her dorm, had done many investigations into Su Mo, and the results were actually Su Mo and Ye Beibei's not related at all. Su Mo had grown up in that family, and the neighbors all said that they knew her. Although all the signs indicated that Su Mo was not related to him, Mu Yifeng still firmly believed that Su Mo was Ye Beibei.
The welcoming party started at half past seven in the evening, and at five o'clock, Liu Ruoying began to hide in her dorm to dress up, while also giving Su Mo a fine look.
Soo Mo's evening gown was a deep sapphire blue, with a unique sheen to it. The thin strap circled around his neck, revealing his round and sexy shoulders. A large half of his back was bare, and was wrapped in thin threads. It gave off a faintly discernible sense of beauty. The skirt was tightly wrapped around her slender waist, exposing her entire figure. The gown had opened a slit between her slender thighs and had been pulled from her calves to her right, dragging her to the ground. Paired with sapphire blue high heels, she was like a mermaid on a silver beach under the moonlight. Her long black hair flowed down her body, and was intentionally pulled out by Liu Ruo Ying to be curled up. Her hair moved up and down, causing Su Mo's smooth and clean back to appear faintly visible.
Liu Ruoying, who had finished dressing up for Su Mo, was simply stupefied by her battle results. In front of him was a woman who was beyond beautiful, even her heartbeat could not help but speed up when she saw this, let alone those men who had ulterior motives.
Su Mo looked at herself in the mirror, and was not surprised at all, it was just that she despised being so naked, and was glad that Liu Ruoying kept on doing mental work for her saying that it was nothing, and in the end, because she did not want to waste Liu Ruoying's efforts, she reluctantly agreed.
In the end, when all of them were ready, Liu Ruoying wore a moon-white qipao, completely contrasting with the feelings of a weak Jiangnan woman. On the way out, Su Mo took a silver handbag. Of course, it was something that Mu Yifeng had specially sent over.
When Su Mo opened the doors to the auction house, it caused a huge commotion. Among the two girls standing at the entrance, one was elegant and cold while the other was gentle like a jade from a small family. It was as if the surroundings were filled with a gentle atmosphere, so the eye-catching two girls standing together naturally attracted the attention of a large half of the audience.
Su Mo walked in expressionlessly, and surveyed her surroundings. She discovered that Mu Yifeng, dressed in a black and gold dress, was dancing on the dance floor with the girl she had seen on the first day of school. Su Mo's heart could not help but be infuriated. Before this, Mu Yifeng had said that there was nothing going on between him and Gong Nuoxue, that they were only good friends. A couple showing their love in front of everyone's eyes? What was this dress? Pity her? Although her heart was in turmoil, Su Mo still had an icy face without any expression.
Not long after, the song ended and the people below the stage started clapping their hands. Mu Yifeng and Gong Nuoxue who were born in a noble clan seemed to be professional dancers as they danced and spun on the dance floor. Amidst the crowd's applause, Mu Yifeng walked out of the dance floor while holding Gong Nuoxue's hand.
After interacting with each other, Mu Yifeng arrived in front of Su Mo, and of course, Gong Nuoxue was also by her side. "Su Mo, you're so beautiful today." Mu Yifeng's eyes lit up as he sincerely praised.
"Thank you." Su Mo replied expressionlessly.
"Oh right, let me introduce you. This is Gong Nuoxue, my friend." Mu Yifeng took a step back, then turned to face Gong Nuoxue again, "This is Su Mo, the girl I've been talking to you about."
However, her appearance made her feel very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. Hearing Mu Yifeng introducing her, she immediately came back to her senses, revealed a charming smile, and extended her right hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Gong Nuoxue. I'm really so beautiful, but I've always heard of the arrival of a peerless beauty, now that I have seen you for real."
"Hello, I'm Su Mo. I'm here for the first time, I hope that you can advise me." Facing a girl, and even more so a girl as beautiful as Gong Nuoxue, Su Mo's expression eased up quite a bit. After that, she held Gong Nuoxue's hand and gave a slight smile. Su Mo rarely laughed, and her face was always as cold as ice. However, as long as she laughed, very few people could resist the good impression they had of her.
Looking at her smile, both Mu Yifeng and Gong Nuoxue were shocked. Her smile was like the spring breeze of the second month, as if ten thousand years of hard ice could be melted by her smile. Mu Yifeng could not help but look at Gong Nuoxue. Why did Su Mo keep giving him such an ice-cold face, while smiling at him? He was still very confident with her appearance. His face was completely capable of captivating millions of ignorant, knowledgeable girls, but now it seemed to have no effect. Mu Yifeng could not help but lift his hand and stroke his face gloomily.
"Sorry, my friends are calling me. I'll go take a look. You guys chat first, I'll come over later." She had been friends with Mu Yifeng for many years, so she naturally knew him very well. In the beginning, when they were in junior high school, she took the initiative to get to know him, and after she had been pestering him, she finally became his friend. However, she did not have any feelings for him, and in reality, she was not interested in him at all. Gong Nuoxue also knew that they were mistaken by many to be a couple, but she and Mu Yifeng were not angry, this was good too, they didn't need to be harassed by some people everyday. Although it wouldn't cause them any losses, it would at least affect their mood. Thus, this fake couple would frequently appear in front of everyone. In any case, based on their family background and looks, no one would doubt them.
Recently, Mu Yifeng had repeatedly mentioned Su Mo in front of her, and she knew that this, who had always been a girl, had suddenly become enlightened. Gong Nuoxue was very happy, and it was as if her foolish son had finally learned how to walk. Of course, for her reasons, she didn't have any friends to call her, but how could a beauty like her be by himself at a ball? As expected, the moment she sat down alone with his wine cup, someone came over.
After Gong Nuoxue left, Su Mo stood there silently, but Mu Yifeng felt very awkward, "Su Mo, you are really very beautiful today, you know?" Mu Yifeng revealed a charming smile, breaking the silence. Of course, this smile was very charming.
"You said that just now." Su Mo returned to her cold expression, as if she had not smiled just now, "Oh right, thank you for your dress."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Mu Yifeng was still very happy in his heart, "Beautiful noble princess, can I be fortunate enough to invite you to dance?" Mu Yifeng bent down and stretched out his hand, making an inviting gesture.
"No way!" Su Mo had displayed her ability to cherish words like gold.
