At night, at the ball.
The pleasant music echoed throughout the venue. The students changed out of their usual uniforms and put on their meticulously prepared gowns. At the same time, they dressed up carefully to make themselves look more handsome or beautiful. At the annual dance festival, the boys became gentlemen and the girls became ladies, hoping to leave behind a beautiful memory.
Zero placed his hands in his pockets and leaned against a pillar outside the venue. His cold eyes stared blankly at the night sky. A hand reached out unexpectedly and poked his expressionless face. What followed was the chairman's cordial greeting."Zhuisheng, thank you for your hard work.”
"This is an order from the chairman.”Zero didn't appreciate it and replied in a helpless tone.
"Ah, that's so scary.”Black Master Hui Yan stretched his back. He was already so old, yet he was still pretending to be young and coquettish. After that, he understood that Zero couldn't bear to see him like this, so he changed the topic and said,"Speaking of which, it's been very gloomy recently. It's as if I have to bear all the misfortune here.”
Because of the matter with Wine Sakura and Yiru, Zero had been very depressed recently. After all, he was the child he raised. Dark Lord Hui Yan still hoped that he could relax a little and not push himself too hard."Rather than calling it an order, it's actually a wish. He wanted to protect the students 'happy campus life. And you too. Rather than being bound by the invisible future, it's better to enjoy the present.”
Chihaya, who was beside him, glanced at Hui Yan. Hui Yan returned a bright smile and said proudly,""What do you think, Xiaoxun?”Her words were filled with anticipation, wanting to hear Chihaya's praise and recognition of him. Zero, who was beside her, could not help but roll her eyes, thinking that this guy's brain was flooded again. She was even glad that Chihaya, who had been under the director's care for the longest time, was not affected. Otherwise, it would have been a terrifying scene.
"Yes." Chihaya nodded her head seriously, insisting that whatever Little Yan said was right. Although she didn't know what stylish meant, it was good enough as long as it made him happy. If Black Master Hui Yan knew what Chihaya was thinking, he would probably laugh.
"Zero." Just as they were still standing at the door, Youji's voice came. Looking in the direction of the voice, they could not help but be stunned by Youji's outfit tonight. A pure white swallowtail dress wrapped around the girl's body perfectly. A ribbon was wrapped around her slender neck, and with a delicate rose, this outfit made Youji look like an angel.
Youji still stood there awkwardly, allowing them to size her up. She tried hard to find a topic to talk about so that she wouldn't be so shy."I didn't expect you to arrive first." In fact, she was prepared to wear her uniform earlier. After all, the director had handed the security of the ball to her and Zero. Even if she felt a little regretful, she still accepted this responsibility without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, just as Youji was about to leave, Shalai brought a gift box. She opened it and saw that it was a dress given to her by Senior Shu. The dress fit her very well and she liked it very much. So, under Sharay's encouragement, she still chose to change into this dress. Firstly, she didn't want to disappoint Senior Shu. Secondly, she really wanted to attend the ball. Moreover, the staff could take turns dancing. After thinking for a while, Yu Ji put on the dress.
"Ah! Youji has appeared in her best attire!" Black Master Hui Yan exclaimed and started to lose his cool."Next, dance with Daddy! Good girl ~"
It wasn't the first time that Yu Ji saw the chairman's unruly look. She smiled faintly and replied,"I really don't have a choice. In that case, let's dance a little later.”You Ji had never been stingy with the greatest tolerance for her family members who genuinely cared about her.
Chihaya pursed her lips and looked at her height, which was less than the other party's chest. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. For the first time, she felt that it was a very troublesome thing to not grow up. Hence, he raised his head and looked at Black Master Hui Yan, his purple eyes filled with desire."Little Yan, I want to dance with you too.”
Unconsciously acting coquettishly, Black Master Hui Yan's heart instantly softened. He couldn't help but pick up the girl and rub his face excitedly," Oh my god, Lil 'Xun is acting cute to me and wants to dance with me! So cute! So cute!" A certain someone, who had been killed by cuteness, left Zero and Youji behind and excitedly ran into the venue to dance with the little one in his arms.
Yuki helplessly watched the chairman's figure disappear into the crowd. She could still hear the words he left before he left."See you later, Youji." She smiled and said to Zero, who was still standing there,"I'll see you later.""Let's go too. While we're patrolling to see if there's any trouble, we can also have some fun.”
Zero took in Youji's smile and complained,""I thought you weren't interested in the dance festival.”
"Yeah…" Yu Ji smiled awkwardly. She didn't want Zero to say anything more and she ran to the lively venue."Alright, let's get back to work." Behind her, Zero saw Youji's embarrassment and did not say anything else.
"Oh, how heartless. No one actually informed me to bring me along.”Lance strolled over under the moonlight. He looked at the few people who had already entered the venue and complained half-sincerely. He had only left for a while because of some small matter. When he returned, he was gone. He could not help but wonder what he had done to offend them.
However, Lance's temper had been very good recently. It was unprecedented, so he decided not to fuss about the fact that he was abandoned. It was better to enjoy the ball that was not much in his eyes. Before the feast began, he had to have some appetizers.
Youji entered the venue and looked around. Everything was normal."That's great. Nothing has happened so far.”After he finished speaking, he turned around and realized that Zero did not listen to him. He went over and called out to her, and helped her adjust her tie."The boys also need to tidy up their clothes.”
Zero lowered her head and looked at her without saying a word. " What are you doing?" Youji said with a straight face." Do you have any complaints as a member of the Discipline Committee?"”She didn't mind if Zero didn't answer. He looked at Zero and felt that something was missing. He untied the rose from his neck and tied it to Zero's chest."Also, place a rose on the boy's chest.”
Just as Youji was about to help Zero tidy up her clothes and change her worried expression, there was a commotion in the crowd. Youji could not help but follow the crowd's gaze and look at the door. Zero's eyes turned cold when she saw the man walking in.
Lance attracted the attention of many girls as soon as he entered the venue. His looks were not inferior to the Night Division's boys, and his gentle and elegant temperament, especially his deep blue eyes, seemed to be able to suck people in. The boys couldn't help but admire the appearance and temperament of the person who came. For a moment, the students attending the ball were discussing Lance's identity in whispers.
Chihaya was currently dancing on the dance floor with Dark Lord Hui Yan. Due to Chihaya's small stature, she barely reached Black Master Hui Yan's chest. Therefore, it was not as easy for the two of them to jump together. Moreover, this was Chihaya's first time dancing. Without any foundation, she could only rely on Hui Yan to patiently teach her step by step.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't mind. Black Master Hui Yan doted on Chihaya. He was very satisfied to have the opportunity to dance with Chihaya. Seeing the girl learn the dance steps under his guidance, the satisfaction in his heart was indescribable. Chihaya was not happy that it was inconvenient for her to look up at Hui Yan, but she was also immersed in this beautiful atmosphere.
Chihaya noticed the commotion caused by Lance's arrival and felt like Homme Fatale again. According to his experience, he must have seen many more gorgeous and dazzling balls than the Black Master Academy, so why would he still want to join in the fun? With so many people's attention attracted, they stopped their dance steps, making it impossible for her and Little Yan to continue dancing.
Lance, who had sharp eyes, found Chihaya in the crowd. The smile on his face deepened as he walked towards them as if no one was around. The dance partners in front of him couldn't help but give way. When they saw who his target was, they sighed for a while before they looked away and continued the dance that they hadn't finished.
Black Master Hui Yan couldn't pretend that he didn't see Lance, so he put down Chihaya's hand and went forward to greet her. As a result, he missed the moment when Chihaya was feeling down and unhappy. She couldn't continue dancing with Little Yan and was unhappy that Lance had ruined her good mood again.
"Good evening, Chairman, and Miss Chihaya.”Lance pretended not to see Chihaya's hostility towards him. After all, the two of them had spent so much time together, so it was not a big deal. Lance didn't feel guilty at all for interrupting their private time. Guilt did not exist for him.
"Good evening, Mr. Lance." Black Master Hui Yan greeted politely,"Mr. Lance, this must be your first time participating in our academy's dance festival. If you don't mind, you can stay and dance to your heart's content.”
Lance wasn't interested in the chairman's suggestion. No one would be willing to dance again after attending several balls and trying all kinds of dances. Of course, if he were to dance with Chihaya, he could still accept it. However, even if he invited her, she would not give him face. He would not make things difficult for himself.
Out of his gentlemanly demeanor, Lance only smiled gently and did not agree or refuse.""Of course, I'll go and dance a few songs if I'm in the mood. The students in your school are all very cute.”It was rare that he didn't meet any members of the opposite sex who were obsessed with their looks, which was something Lance appreciated.
"Chairman, I won't disturb you anymore. You're busy every day, and it's rare for you to have a chance to relax.”Lance said very considerately. In fact, he did not want to be with a man. In his eyes, only women were pleasing to the eye. It was better not to interact with men at this time.
Chihaya was very satisfied with Lance's tactfulness, so her impression of him was not that bad. Lance was keenly aware of this and smiled meaningfully. See, sometimes, he could get such an effect just by making a slight concession. He didn't lose out, right?
