Chapter 21

After the darkness fell, Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao went to the banquet hall.

Many Asian women wearing gorgeous dresses are smiling, especially the long dresses on women's bodies. Standing together, they are almost competing for beauty, which is a very seductive picture.

When entering the venue, Shen Ruo saw that many of the people who came to the banquet were in pairs, and when the two walked together, they were women and demihumans holding the arms of men.

After they got in, they would naturally let go, either holding up their wine glasses or chatting with acquaintances with constant smiles on their faces.

It's not so much a graduation banquet, it's more like the gatherings of the upper class that Shen Ruo has seen on TV and movies.

It was also after seeing this that Shen Ruo realized the difference between himself and Emperor Star, because in Cross Star, few people would enter such a formal occasion.

Shen Ruo thought of this, and she was going to dance in it later, and she became a little nervous again.

"It's time to go in."

The slightly muffled magnetic sound brought a smile, Chu Xiao raised his elbow, revealing a gap, he motioned Shen Ruo to hold him, Jun's face was full of tenderness.

Many people around are like this, Chu Xiao's movements are very natural, Shen Ruo carefully stretched out his hand to hold him, and the two walked in together.

There were constant laughter and conversations in the hall. There were waiters walking through the crowd with wine trays, as well as drinks and desserts on beautiful long tables with bright lights.

When the waiter came over with a wine tray, Shen Ruo let go of Chu Xiao.

Taking two glasses of wine, Chu Xiao handed it to Shen Ruo and said, "This degree is low, and the taste is also suitable for Asians."

Shen Ruo rarely drank, but Chu Xiao had already brought it to him, so he took a small sip. It was a sweet fruit wine, so he bent his eyes towards Chu Xiao.

Under the light of the light, Shen Ruo's eyes were bright, and Chu Xiaojun's face kept smiling.

There were more and more people entering the venue, and the dance had to wait for a while to start, so Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo around the banquet hall, and they went to a terrace on the second floor.

Since he came in, Chu Xiao has not left Shen Ruo, nor has he spoken to anyone else, but Shen Ruo noticed that several people were looking at Chu Xiao in surprise, he didn't know what was going on, that kind of strange feeling up again.

Night

campus

There are not many people inside, and it is already dark outside. Standing on the terrace, you can see the lights of high-rise buildings in the distance. The wind blows slowly in the summer night, which makes people feel comfortable, and the night sky is dotted with a brilliant sea of ​​stars.

There are not many people on the second floor, even if you want to come over, seeing someone occupying it ahead of time, you have to turn around and go to another place.

After entering the terrace, the liveliness downstairs is gone, and it is much quieter here.

During the month of Emperor Star, Shen Ruo saw many things that he had never seen before, but every time he came out, Chu Xiao accompanied him.

After the second uncle left, he thought he was alone in Dixing, and Shen Ruo was at a loss. It was normal for a little Asian from the countryside to be afraid of being alone. Sent for that reason.

On the day Shen Ping left, when Shen Ruo walked into the gate of the Duke's mansion alone, she actually felt that she couldn't hold her head up because the second uncle took the money from the Chu family.

But then he met Chu Xiao, who had been comforting him, shopping for clothes, taking him to eat things he had never eaten before, his experience in Ada Town, and the graduation ceremony, and also invited him.

Chu Xiao treats him very well, and always encourages and comforts him when he does something wrong, telling him that he will always do well next time. Shen Ruo has never even heard words of reproach in Chu Xiao's mouth.

A gentle and considerate heterosexual caring for himself, gave him all the patience and company.

Shen Ruo knew that Chu Xiao had spared a lot of time to accompany him in the past month, and it was still when he was about to graduate. Although Chu Xiao said that he was no longer in class, Shen Ruo silently kept it in his heart, just like now. , Chu Xiao did not go to other acquaintances and 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 been evacuated. When the time is up, you can see that the ancient star field collapsed and disappeared. I have already made a plan. "

Chu Xiao smiled and said to Shen Ruo, he was a little taller than before, and Shen Ruo had to look up when he looked at him.

The pampered eldest young master looks very handsome, he smiles like this, and he does things very considerately. This kind of gentle offensive is unstoppable for the little Asian who is just beginning to love.

"You can leave early at that time, and you can go wherever you want."

After speaking, Chu Xiao knew that Shen Ruo was introverted and not very courageous, so he didn't dare to ask for anything, and added: "This is also my graduation trip. I want to go to a few more places, I'm afraid I won't be able to choose."

In fact, Shen Ruo knew that this was because 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 Shen Ruo's face unconsciously put on a slight smile, Chu Xiao looked at him and smiled, and Jun's face was even more smiling.

Chu Xiao raised his glass, and Shen Ruo naturally raised the glass in his hand.

Accompanied by the gentle breeze and the stars 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 over there. The wine in his hand was quickly consumed, and the sweet fruit wine made him unable to bear a few more sips.

Seeing that Shen Ruo had finished drinking a glass of wine, Chu Xiao smiled helplessly and asked Shen Ruo if she still wanted to drink it. After hesitating for a while, Shen Ruo nodded and smiled lightly.

So Chu Xiao asked Shen Ruo to stay here, went downstairs and helped him get a cup, and came back soon.

Watching Chu Xiao go downstairs, the tall, thin back looks very reliable. His figure is extremely good, he is just a walking clothes rack.

Not only is it sweet in the mouth, but also a little sweet in the heart.

The light on the terrace was relatively dim, the brooch on Shen Ruo’s chest was always shining, and the sparkling stars shone in the dark inky gems, which was very beautiful and matched the night sky outside the terrace.

After Chu Xiao came up, the two stayed on the terrace for a while. Chu Xiao looked at the time, and 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 come to collect it after they left, so don't worry about anything else.

Shen Ruo, who had great trust in Chu Xiao, followed suit. The railings were wide enough to place the wine glass on it stably.

However, Shen Ruo, who was about to go downstairs with Chu Xiao, saw Chu Xiao stretch out his hand towards him.

Slowly blinking his eyes, this is the same as what Chu Xiao would do when dancing.

He has been used to holding hands for the past few days, and Shen Ruo put his hand up subconsciously, thinking that he was going to go on like this first.

Unexpectedly, after Chu Xiao took his hand, he bent down slightly and dropped a light kiss on the back of his hand.

Chu Xiao kissed his knuckles, and it was a very light kiss.

"Kissing hand ceremony." After standing up, Chu Xiao didn't let go of Shen Ruo's hand, his eyes were focused and serious, he looked at Shen Ruo and said, "I'm very happy that you promised to be my partner. I want to do this ritual."

"In Emperor Star, the kissing ceremony 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, Shen Ruo looked up at him, after hearing this, he suddenly understood what Chu Xiao wanted to say, and in Chu Xiao's heart, he had a very high status.

His heartbeat was chaotic at that moment, but Chu Xiao didn't seem to know anything. He was still focused. He said, "Kissing hands is just a virtual gesture, you can't really touch it, except..."

Having said that, Chu Xiao looked a little embarrassed to continue.

It just so happened that the music on the first floor started to sound, which was just a prelude, indicating that the dance party was about to start, so Chu Xiao didn't say anything, and led Shen Ruo downstairs.

When the music played after listening to it for several days, Shen Ruo subconsciously knew what to do, but for the first time dancing in front of so many people, he was still a little nervous.

In order to take care of Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao took him to the periphery of the dance floor, sensing Shen Ruo's nervousness, and he laughed softly.

"Don't be afraid, just look at me."

The deep magnetic sound carried a certain reassuring reliability, so Shen Ruo looked up at Chu Xiao.

The lights in the hall slowly dimmed. Shen Ruo followed Chu Xiao without making a mistake. He was a little curious about the lights, but the expressions of the people next to him were normal, it seemed that this dance was supposed to be like this.

The gem on the chest shone with starlight as the light dimmed. Shen Ruo knew that she 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 return it to Chu Xiao when you go back.

But the one or two Asians and women next to him saw the gem, and their eyes were surprised. They glanced at Chu Xiao again, and with the change of dance steps, their sight was blocked.

The matter of the rare star gem that was photographed by the eldest young master of the Chu family the year before last was still hotly discussed in the circle for a long time. Because of the preciousness of the gem, only thousands of planets can find such a gem.

The gem itself is formed by the melting of the inner core after the death of a planet. After an extremely rare and long-term change, the starlight emitted is natural, not artificial starlight made by some jewelers.

This gem was in Chu Xiao's hands. He threw 7 billion, and there was no turbulence on his face. After he got it, he played with it at will, but he felt that it was quite boring. He bought such a thing for 7 billion.

At that time, Chu Xiao was only sixteen years old, and many people were guessing how rich the Chu family was. They could make so much money at one time without an adult heir, and it looked like they were just throwing money for fun. .

After Chu Xiao photographed 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 had a new face, besides Jiang Chen, it was also the first time that Chu Xiao brought him in front of people he knew, and many people were guessing Shen Ruo's identity.

There were several bright-eyed demi-men and women who looked at the gem brooch on Shen Ruo's body several times during the period of turning around and changing positions.

The things Chu Xiao brought out would definitely not be fakes.

Seven billion gems have attracted the curiosity of many people.

Shen Ruo noticed the gazes of those people, all of them were graduates of Chu Xiao's same level, maybe because they didn't know each other, they looked at him one more time.

After the first dance, Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao withdrew, and there were still others, but he only practiced this one, and Chu Xiao did not plan to stay here any longer, lest there would be too many people talking and appearing Something out of control.

And when the two of them went out, Jiang Chen came late, and beside him was a beautifully dressed little Asian. The two of them behaved intimately, and they were not the same person that Shen Ruo saw in the clothes store last time.

After seeing Chu Xiao, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, he looked at Shen Ruo, and after realizing that the treasure that Shen Ruo was wearing was a brooch, he raised his eyes again, and a smirk appeared on his handsome face.

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows at him, the smile on his face Jiang Chen naturally understood what it meant, so he was hooked.

Shen Ruo had been reminded before, but it seemed that Shen Ruo had never been suspicious.

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, he could almost think that when Shen Ruo found out that Chu Xiao was just lying to him, he would be sad for a while.

However, being able to get these 7 billion things is a lot more beneficial than those people who were in Chu Xiao before.

After saying hello, Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo and left, and Jiang Chen had just arrived, and someone he knew in the hall waved to him, and he would stay here for a long time.

After leaving, Shen Ruo didn't know that the people in the banquet hall who were extremely curious about him all gathered around Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to inquire about who Chu Xiao 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, and even some of their classmates are not very familiar with them, but they get along with those people outside, so don’t want to talk about these gossips and perfunctory. a few words.

But the people here more or less know about Chu Xiao's previous deeds, and there are also people in the D area. After seeing Chu Xiao's good-natured and patient appearance, they were still extremely surprised, thinking that he had accepted his temper. It's to be cleaned up.

But seeing Jiang Chen's expression of no interest, he knew in his heart that Chu Xiao was just playing around.

Shen Ruo's identity was quickly discovered by someone using her power. She was a little Asian from the countryside, with no background, and it seemed that her relationship history was blank. She was a pure and ignorant Asian. Watch the lively mind.

The status of the Chu family is there, and Chu Xiao is a well-known playboy of the emperor star. People in the same circle probably guessed his idea, just to play with an Asian who doesn't understand anything. Fresh toys.

And not all the students in the hall were pure-hearted students. There was a beautiful Asian who used to be with Chu Xiao. When he remembered the seven billion gem just now, he felt envious and even jealous, and he felt unwilling. When followed Chu Xiao, never got such a good thing.

But he didn't dare to dangle in front of Shen Ruo, because when Chu Xiao came down from the second floor, he even looked for him. He thought it was Chu Xiao's interest in him again, but he didn't expect him to get close to Shen Ruo, that one. The cold and indifferent expression made him feel very uncomfortable.

The story of Chu Xiao following a new person quickly spread, and it was completely different from his previous aesthetics. The people Chu Xiao used to follow, whether male, female or sub-human, all looked gorgeous and flamboyant. That one, and Shen Ruo didn't have much to do with these two points.

After the news reached the D area, everyone who knew it was watching the fun, and even made a bet that when the eldest young master of the Chu family got tired of playing and left, and then went to find new fun.

——

Chu Xiao drove the car, but drove in another direction. Shen Ruo was puzzled and looked at the driver's seat.

"Take you to a place." Chu Xiao said with a smile, he didn't say where, but aroused Shen Ruo's curiosity even more.

Soon, the suspension car stopped in front of a building without any stop, and Chu Xiao drove directly into the elevator.

The two got off the car on the top floor, and there was a strong wind blowing on it. Shen Ruo smiled. Although he didn't know the purpose of Chu Xiao bringing him here, the wind was blowing like this, and he felt very comfortable physically and mentally.

"Let me show you something." Chu Xiao smiled softly, he opened his brain and stroked a few times.

Soon, in the direction he pointed to Shen Ruo, the buildings in the distance lit up with twinkling lights, forming various patterns, and Shen Ruo's face kept smiling.

And when the sound of the cannons sounded, in Shen Ruo's surprised eyes, countless fireworks exploded in the distance. The sky will be illuminated.

"I booked a table, did I not 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 touching Shen Ruo's head, and he was in a very good mood.

Seeing the sweet and sweet smile on Shen Ruo's face, her eyes were sparkling, Chu Xiao's throat moved slightly, and he thought of the sweetness of toffee again.

He took out two toffees 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 toffees.

He didn't eat in the end, but when he came, he thought that he would be outside for a long time, and that at dinner, Shen Ruo would probably not be full, so he packed the sugar into his clothes.

There were two toffee in Chu Xiao's open palm, Shen Ruo looked at it, he took one, peeled it off and put it in his mouth, while the candy wrapper was picked up by Chu Xiao and put into his pocket.

The sweetness of the toffee gradually melted in Shen Ruo's mouth. He never thought that the candy would be so sweet and sweet in his heart.

"Do you like it?" Seeing Shen Ruo looking up at him, Chu Xiao asked with a smile.

Under the starry sky, Chu Xiao's figure was reflected in Shen Ruo's eyes.

There was a quiet feeling that spread in Shen Ruo's heart, which had been hidden for a while, and finally broke out from the sweetened toffee, stunned and heartbroken.
