Staring at others is very impolite. The guests at the dinner party understood this, so they shifted their gaze and continued talking to those around them, but everyone was distracted, glancing at the three people eating rice on the table out of the corner of their eyes.
This was supposed to be a dance party, and the food was just snacks for leisure, but their S-class rookie king seemed to treat this place as a free cafeteria.
"He eats meat so wildly," a woman whispered.
"Is unleashing our true nature what separates us from the strong?" a man whispered.
"How about you ask him to dance later?"
"Ugh, he'll definitely reject me, right? Otherwise, Mary Rose, why don't you give it a try?"
"No way, he definitely wouldn't like me."
"He may be a S, but our Mary Rose is a G. What boy wouldn't be attracted to her? And she's single, you know."
The girls gathered together and made frivolous remarks, all about the boy with the black, tousled hair.
However, the protagonist was oblivious to what was happening around him. He and his brothers happily stuffed meat into their mouths and treated expensive red wine as a thirst-quenching drink.
Chapter Eighty-Five: Tango
The lavish buffet quickly made Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang feel that their courage had not been in vain. Lu Mingfei quickly calculated the number of people in Amber House, while Lao Tang counted the number of lobster heads, and came to an important conclusion—this was a social event centered around eating, and the generous host had prepared a large Australian lobster for everyone.
These bright red creatures lay on the ice, revealing their glistening white flesh. Dishes were scattered everywhere, some served individually, others requiring a large iron plate to hold them all.
"It smells so good! Come and try this suckling pig." Lu Mingfei was cutting meat everywhere with a knife and fork. Honey cake covered with cream, crispy white sesame suckling pig skin, authentic French foie gras... his plate was full of things.
He was starving; all he ate all day was a cherry blossom mochi and a cup of coffee.
Old Tang's cheeks were also stuffed full. It was a rare opportunity to eat on a high-end menu, so he had to make sure he got his money's worth.
Wait, this meal seems to be free.
What are you waiting for? Take a bite and you earn a bite! The more you eat, the more you earn!
Needless to say, Fingel had already come in to enjoy himself.
Some guests who wanted to grab a bite to eat immediately gave up the idea of taking a plate when they saw these three starving people stuffing themselves. However, others, seeing how much they enjoyed their food, ran over and picked up the plates. Most of them were freshmen, the elites selected by Caesar to be qualified to join the student council.
"Who's that next to the S-class? He looks so creepy." A girl frowned on the stairs.
"I don't know. I heard they're freshmen. Why would an S-class student be with them?" Another girl shook her head.
"Don't you know Fingel? He's roommates with S-class. He must be the one who corrupted S-class."
"Why hasn't he dropped out of school after repeating four years of A grades and being demoted to F?"
"I heard that his family has a lot of connections; they're a family that slays dragons."
"There are people with connections everywhere; society is really complicated."
The girls were talking very quietly, but Lu Mingfei still heard them.
He looked up at the delicate girls, then turned back to look at the tall Finger.
The three of them rented suits together, and the quality of the suits was very poor. But Fingel was already very tall, and if he didn't bend over and slurp his spaghetti, he would look quite good. However, he had a sleazy air about him.
"Why are you hiding?" As if possessed, Lu Mingfei asked this question.
Fingel's fork-rolling motion with the noodles came to an abrupt halt, but the next second, he stuffed a large clump of noodles into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
"What were you babbling about just now?" His mouth puffed out like a balloon.
"Goodness, you really know how to dodge. I can't stop you now!" Lu Mingfei ignored him and turned around to stick a cherry from the corner into his mouth.
The three continued eating, wrestling with the Australian lobster in the center. Lu Mingfei carefully used a knife to pry it open, trying to remove the meat from the large claws intact without damaging the shell.
Suddenly, a clear, sharp bell rang, and the officials and guests in the hall stopped talking.
The large crystal chandelier lit up, and on one side of the two curved staircases leading to the second floor, a handsome young man in black descended, while on the other side, a young woman in a white dress wearing silk gloves descended.
The hall was silent. The irrelevant people retreated to the corner, leaving only three guys standing in the center with their trays, still stuffing meat into their mouths.
They suddenly realized what was happening in front of them, stopped shouting and eating, and wiped their mouths.
Lu Mingfei placed the whole shrimp claw meat he had removed onto a plate and swallowed it whole. "Is this... going to dance?"
“This was originally a social dance party; the buffet was just an extra.” Fingel wiped the oil off his mouth and hands with a napkin.
"Then should we go somewhere else to eat?" Old Tang asked.
"Sir, it's time for ballroom dancing. Please leave the dance floor," a waiter politely reminded him.
Lu Mingfei remembered him, the guy who discussed frog urination with Fingel in the cafeteria. He didn't seem to be afraid of Lu Mingfei's many accolades.
"Okay, okay." Old Tang nodded repeatedly, while quickly putting meat onto the plate.
However, Fingel pressed down on his plate, "Since you're here, why not dance? I was once the Elvis of my grade when I entered school, and today I'll show you what I'm made of."
"Then you can show me slowly, I'll go over there and applaud you." Old Tang pulled his hand away, quickly filled the plate, and ran to the corner with Lu Mingfei.
The waiter covered his mouth and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at! Do you think I'm someone who doesn't follow social rules? I'm here to dance!" Fingel raised his chin dismissively and straightened his tie.
He quickly regretted his impulsiveness; the men and women in the center of the dance floor were all in pairs, and not a single girl was idle.
Helpless, he turned his gaze to the ladies upstairs. Every girl he saw turned her head away with an "Oh," as if she had seen something like cow dung or dog excrement.
He was the only superfluous man in the center of the dance floor; the two cowards were already seated, their slightly upturned lips seeming to say, "Please begin your performance."
Finally, he saw several girls with flushed cheeks lifting their skirts and taking small steps toward him. Just as he was about to reach out and touch their slender wrists, the girls in their evening gowns passed him one by one and ran behind him.
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu Mingfei, would you like to dance with me?" The blonde girl with wavy hair, wearing a light blue dress, lifted her skirt and bowed, extending her hand in invitation. Her fair and delicate hand hung down, waiting for Lu Mingfei to support her.
The girl had a great figure; her full breasts and slender waist, combined with her slightly flushed face, snow-white neck and collarbone, were captivating. Her delicate features made her look like a princess; even among mixed-race people, she was definitely a beauty.
In comparison, Lu Mingfei, with wasabi on his lips, looked quite slovenly.
Holding a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right, he said with a regretful expression, "I'm glad you invited me, but I'm really sorry, I can't dance."
As he spoke, he skewered a piece of roasted beef rib from Old Tang's plate.
"Is that so? I'm sorry to have bothered you." The girl left dejectedly.
Several girls went up to ask and received the same reply, so they had no choice but to find other male companions.
Fingel was still standing blankly in the center of the dance floor.
"Is the difference between people really that big?!" He wanted to shout to the heavens.
Unfortunately, doing this only makes him look more like a loser.
He sighed and picked up his plate, but on the edge of his plate, he saw a brightly colored, plump cherry.
The pupils reflected the cherry-red color, like a young girl's red lips, bright and alluring, making one unable to resist imagining a sweet fragrance.
On one side of the second floor, a deep red curtain was drawn back, and a small band was testing their instruments. The conductor was none other than the waiter who had just reminded Lu Mingfei and the others. If he remembered correctly, he had also come to deliver the dinner that evening. It seemed that he was indeed very talented.
The band played an overture, a tango overture.
“Isn’t tango my forte?” Fingel swallowed the cherry whole, pit and all.
He exuded an incredibly strong aura, his gaze sharp as a blade, cutting through the crowd.
Chapter 86 A Dance No One Appreciates
"I'm going to the restroom." Lu Mingfei put down the plate and walked quickly outside.
"Oh." The ignorant old Tang sat there trying to use a fork to pry all the crab roe out of the crab shell.
Poor crab, its entire life is spent being manipulated by humans.
A strong hand landed on Old Tang's shoulder. "Good brother, only you can help me now."
...
Lu Mingfei looked around for a restroom. He didn't actually want to use the toilet, but a red "danger" sign had appeared on his forehead, which gave him a jolt.
Whenever he had this premonition, something bad would happen, so he decided to go out and hide for a while, wash his face in the toilet, and wash away the bad luck.
Music started playing in the hall behind them, followed by a scream.
"Have a good time." Lu Mingfei quickened his pace.
He walked to the end of the corridor but didn't see a restroom sign. Maybe the restroom was inside the lobby, but the music was still playing, so he decided not to go in for the time being and went outside the Amber Building to get some fresh air.
Kassel College is located in a natural area free from industrial pollution, where the sky is full of stars.
Lu Mingfei sat on the flower bed, and slow music drifted in through the French windows.
The bright, arc-shaped band of light stretching across space appeared somewhat dim, perhaps because the starlight was dimmer than on a hazy moonlit night, yet the Milky Way was clearer and brighter than any full moon sky.
The lights cast the shadows of the men and women dancing in the center of the dance floor onto the ground. They swayed to the music, and the shadows of the men and women intertwined, revealing waving arms and the shadows of their high heels.
Like a great band of light, the Milky Way makes one feel as if they are immersed in it, floating and then standing at the ends of the earth. Although it is a kind of cold loneliness, it also gives people a kind of magical charm.
Lu Mingfei looked up and felt as if the Milky Way was about to embrace him.
Old Tang's shout brought him back to reality. He smiled slightly, jumped off the flower bed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of grass and trees.
"Brother, are you leaving?"
When he opened his eyes again, a little boy dressed in a formal suit and wearing a red bow tie was standing in front of him.
Lu Mingfei was bathed in dazzling light, while Lu Mingze stood in the darkness where the light couldn't reach, his golden eyes like molten lava.
"Come sit down?" Lu Mingfei patted the seat next to him and took out a few napkins from his pocket to place on the flower stand.
"Brother, aren't you going to dance?" Lu Mingze asked as he sat down.
“But I can’t dance.” Lu Mingfei patted his head.
“No, you always do.” Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei looked at each other. “It’s just that you don’t want to dance. When you don’t want to dance, you don’t listen to anything. Even if a two-dimensional anime character pops out of the computer screen and invites you, you still won’t dance.”
"I really can't dance, how can you slander me like this?" Lu Mingfei said innocently.
“You’re really stubborn.” Lu Mingze stood up.
"Who's being stubborn here!" Lu Mingfei felt that his younger brother was being unreasonable.
He was eager to teach his disobedient younger brother a lesson using special methods. Since no one was around, he could do whatever he wanted.
That was what he meant to say, but then the clattering of high heels echoed in the darkness.
