"It's indeed very different from what I imagined.”Lin Nian, who was standing at the side of the Ambo Pavilion, said with a bitter smile as he watched the commotion.
Rather than calling it a party, it was more like a banquet. Everyone wore polite masks as they walked in the hall. When they met, they raised their champagne glasses slightly and insisted. If they looked at each other, they would close up and chat about recent events or interesting things. The men were graceful and humorous, while the women were reserved and elegant. Under the performance of the cello band, they separated and joined in an orderly manner.
"Actually, there's not much difference. Banquets or parties are all used for eating, drinking, and having fun. The student union party is considered good.”Mandy, who was beside Lin Nian, pointed to a place further inside the clubhouse. There, long tables were arranged in a row. There was a freshly made Boston lobster on them. All kinds of colorful snacks were clustered around the champagne tower. Martini and margarita cocktails were served on the waiter's tray in unlimited quantities.
"Oh, it seems that there is still some meaning to it.”Lin Nian could not help but feel much more excited when he saw this exciting scene.
"The number of lobsters corresponds to the number of people, but there's no limit to the number of customers. I don't think many people will be interested in those lobsters tonight, but I guess you're an exception.”Mandy took a glass of martini from a waiter passing by and took a sip, leaving a faint lip print on the edge of the glass.
"I came because I didn't eat. Your words are a little like saying that I'm a hungry ghost.”Lin Nian corrected the cause and effect,""I haven't reached the point where I would starve for an entire day just for a buffet. I can count the number of people I know who would do such a thing on one hand. I was one in high school, and now I'm one in university.”
"I know about the ones in university, but isn't Shilan High School an elite school?”
"There are some weirdos everywhere. Kassel Academy is an Elite Academy.”Lin Nian's words blocked Mandy's way.
"Junior Brother, let's make a bet. You won't be able to eat lobster tonight. You'll probably have to go back to the dormitory hungry and pick up the leftovers from Fingal's pizza box to fill your stomach.”Mandy pursed her lips.
"Are you betting that I'll keep my manners in such an environment where everyone respects me? Then you've really bet on the wrong treasure. I was famous for being gay in the past.”Lin Nian glanced at the dining table that was at most 20 to 30 meters away. He didn't even need to run to cover this distance. He could cover it in two to three steps.
"Then you can try." Mandy shrugged and said indifferently.
Lin Nian glanced at Mandy and realized that she was just leaning against the pillar and whistling at the crystal chandelier. She looked calm as if everything was under control. He did not know where Mandy's confidence came from. Even in this environment, he could eat at least five lobsters, let alone one.
Therefore, Lin Nian turned around and was about to take his first step. However, before he could take his first step, he forcefully retracted his leg because someone was in front of him.
Beneath the white dark V-shaped female suit was healthy wheat-colored skin. Her long flaxen hair fell over her shoulders. Under the dim light, she outlined a woman's face that was full of South Asian charm. At this moment, she was holding a glass of champagne in her hand and looking at Lin Nian in front of her.
"How can I help you?" Lin Nian paused.
"Lin Nian, the freshman transfer student? Caesar said that he might have the chance to see you tonight. I thought he was joking, but it seems that our presidential candidate is not a person who likes to lie.”The woman raised her glass." Let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the sailing department of the student union, Karsha. I'm from Maldives."”
Lin Nian wasn't holding any drinks in his hands. At this moment, Mandy passed by him and stuffed the margarita in her hand to him. She threw him a look that said,"Good luck" and slowly disappeared into the crowd on the dance floor.
"Lin Nian, freshman." Lin Nian could only helplessly raise his glass and take a sip.
"Is she your girlfriend? Very beautiful. To be able to find such an outstanding girl when you just entered school, this further highlights your S grade excellence.”The head of the Sailing Department, Karsha, flipped her long hair and turned to look in the direction that Mandy had disappeared.
"No, she's just my senior sister." Lin Nian waved his hand and explained.
"Is that so?" Karsha glanced at the wine glass in Lin Nian's hand.
Lin Nian also lowered his head to take a look. He immediately noticed that there was a red lip mark on the rim of his cup. When he realized this, he wiped it away awkwardly."It's a misunderstanding. She's a little out of line. She's usually so carefree…May I know why you're looking for me?"
"Looks like you haven't attended many banquets like this.”Karsha looked at Lin Nian, who was in his school uniform, and shook her head with a smile.""Normally, when someone hits on you, you shouldn't ask what the other person wants. Instead, you should chat freely about topics that both parties are interested in. After you stop, you should smile and nod before parting.”
"This is my first time attending such a banquet. I even forgot to bring my invitation.”" There are too many people I don't know," Lin Nian shook his head." But everyone seems to know me. It's a strange feeling."”
"This is very normal. People who are destined to shine don't need to remember the names of all the gravel.”" I know." Karsha nodded." I can see that you still need time to get used to all this. Everything is happening too fast for you, isn't it?"”
"It's a little dazzling and overwhelming.”
"I originally wanted to invite you to join the Sailboat Department because I heard that you live by the coast and must be very familiar with the sea and waves."Do you like sailing boats?" But now, after chatting for a while, I think you'll probably just say that you don't like it.”" Because it seems like I've misunderstood something," said Karsha with a smile." There doesn't seem to be a metaphor for you coming to the student union's banquet at Ambo Hall tonight. It's not time for you to make up your mind to choose a side yet."”
"Is it really important to choose a side? The student council was still the Lionheart Society. Did they have to make a choice in this school?”Lin Nian asked as he glanced at the crowd in the Ambo Library.
"It's not important to ordinary students, but it's very important to you. Perhaps you haven't understood the meaning of 'S'.”Karsha reached out and pressed on Lin Nian's shoulder.""Can you feel it?"
"What did you feel?" Lin Nian asked subconsciously.
"Weight." Karsha retracted her hand and chuckled. She raised her glass and turned to leave."Perhaps you can learn from Caesar Gattuso in the future. He knows where he stands, but for now, go enjoy the party. S-grade student, even if the student union's party is different from what you imagine, it's still much better than the Lionheart Society's.”
Before Lin Nian could say anything, Karsha had already disappeared. He shook his head and felt that the people in this academy, whether it was the professors or the students, were all mysterious and did not speak human language. They liked to make everything confusing.
But at least Lin Nian hadn't forgotten what his original intention was. Choosing to side with the Lionheart Club and the Student Union? No, he was here for a party at Amber Restaurant and was going to eat something to fill his stomach. His target, the Boston Lobster, was still more than 20 meters away from him.
After confirming his goal, Lin Nian held his wine glass and was energized again. He took a step forward, but then he retracted his hand.
He looked up helplessly and saw that someone was blocking his way again. This time, it was a man in a cheap suit who had his hair styled. There was a camera hanging on his chest. He was rubbing his hands and looking at Lin Nian 'energetically.'
"Is there anything I can teach you?" Lin Nian looked at this guy and felt that he was like a talent scout he had met on the streets in the past. His every move was filled with impure motives. He did not expect that there would be such a person in the student union.
"Lester from the news department wants to interview you for a few questions.”The man held the camera with both hands and made a photo gesture as he asked tentatively.
"The news department…Does the Student Union have a news department?" Lin Nian recalled that there was a news department in the school.
"No, we're an unaffiliated group, but our department head is a member of the student council, so I have the opportunity to appear here.”the man explained.
"May I ask who your minister is?" Lin Nian narrowed his eyes.
"Fingal Vong, Frings." the man replied.
"Sorry, I'm busy." Lin Nian's face darkened. He turned around and walked toward the dining table in the distance.
