Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 70 Dawn (Part 2)
It was the weekend and night fell as expected. There was still an hour before eight o'clock in the evening. It was not until this critical moment that Lu Mingfei remembered something fatal.
As an aristocratic school, Kassel is far more impressive than Shilan Middle School. From the decoration to the behavior, everything reveals the elegant European medieval style, which can be seen from the ancient Baroque style of the restaurant. The dances held here are not playing house, but formal attire. The formal attire for girls is of course high heels and long fluttering dance skirts.
But Lu Mingfei didn't do that. As an 18-year-old Cinderella, the most beautiful time she had dressed up before was probably when Nuonuo and Ling took her out of the cinema. The gorgeous big puffy princess dress had a European royal style, but that kind of dress was very tiring to wear and even more troublesome to carry . One piece probably filled up the entire suitcase, so she left it at her aunt's house and didn't bring it to the United States.
Cinderella probably never thought that she would have to go on a social stage as soon as she joined Kassel. After using the little money she had saved over the years to buy all kinds of equipment, she didn't have much money left. What's more, the academy was deep in the mountains and forests. Even if she had money, she couldn't ask the devil to suddenly create a set of clothes for her, right?
When Ling returned to the dormitory, he saw the bedroom was in a mess. Lu Mingfei took out all the few clothes in her closet and matched them one by one. They were all daily and a bit nerdy.
Would a T-shirt with an anime girl giving likes be acceptable to Caesar? Maybe a rich and handsome guy who doesn't understand anime would find it inexplicably interesting? Lu Mingfei could only think this way so that she could cover her head with a T-shirt and stride forward among the ladies in white dance skirts, pretending that she was not an outlier with long skirts like them.
"What are you doing?" Ling picked up the clothes scattered on the floor one by one and folded them.
"I'm thinking about what to wear to the dance..." Lu Mingfei scratched her head, "Do you think I can go in my school uniform?"
"So you mean you haven't been prepared at all in the past few days, right?" Ling looked at Lu Mingfei with eyes full of pity. It was not the kind of look that pitied some unlucky child, but the speechless look that felt that this person was hopeless and should just wait to die.
"I haven't been to a dance..." Lu Mingfei covered her face silently, "This is what country bumpkins are like! Not everyone is born aristocrat! Farmers in the countryside always have to go to the city to find out that not everyone can drive a donkey cart!"
Ling stood in front of Lu Mingfei, put his hands on her shoulders, and had an expressionless face.
Although they were roommates, Lu Mingfei rarely got so close to Ling that they could smell each other's breath. Ling had a faint fragrance on him, and Lu Mingfei was sure it was not the residue of shampoo or something like that. The smell was like the flowers that grew lonely on the branches in the winter, not dazzling or eye-catching, and they were just as white in the pale snow, and you would miss them if you were not careful. But when you noticed it, you would find that in this season when all the flowers were withering, it was breathtakingly beautiful. It didn't want to bloom in spring and summer just because it hated the hustle and bustle of the world, and it preferred to be alone and sad in its own world.
If I were a boy, I would probably fall in love with her at this moment, right? That plain face is really pure and flawless, her eyelashes are as long as a bird's wings, and the shadow of you alone in the depths of her pupils is rippling like a clear spring. She doesn't need to say anything, because all the words have already melted away in the silent tenderness.
"If you do this, I'll think you're in love with me..." Lu Mingfei stuck out her tongue.
Ling's eyes changed immediately, but it was hard to tell from her expression whether she was angry or not. Lu Mingfei could only feel that those words seemed to make her a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, so you're encouraging me to die?" Lu Mingfei raised her hands in surrender. She felt the wind was whistling and the Yi River was cold. She, the warrior, would probably never come back once she left. Ling's performance made her feel like a warrior being sent to a deadly battlefield.
"No, I'm measuring your height." Ling glanced at Lu Mingfei's forehead calmly, and reached out to flatten her hair. "You are 4 centimeters taller than me, so my clothes should be fine for you. What size Chinese shoes do you usually wear?"
"36."
"I'm 35.5, which is a little narrow, but it's enough." When Ling opened her closet, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt like a Cinderella who was blinded by the sun.
JK, Lolita, punk, hip-hop, campus, casual clothes, dance skirts, nightclubs, and even Chinese Hanfu and Southeast Asian grass skirt dance costumes. In the transparent square box below are various matching shoes. Ling has filled up the half wall of the dormitory with wardrobes. Most of them don't look like the type she would wear, but there is everything here, which is almost Lu Mingfei's dream house.
"Can you wear all of these?" Lu Mingfei's mouth was so wide open that an apple could probably be stuffed in.
"Not really, many of them don't match my style." Ling said lightly, "I can go out without wearing them, but I can't live without them."
Damn, what kind of declaration is this from a rich man? Lu Mingfei felt that her life values had been severely impacted. This was like those top players on Steam. Their game libraries were full of games, as if they had all the games on all platforms, but when they opened the game time, they found that most of them were zero, which meant that they had never started the game and bought it just for fun. In this way, when they talk about a certain game with others in the future, they can shamelessly say that they have played this game! Then they can make up a bunch of nonsense and act like a very awesome cloud player.
Compared to Ling, the rich second-generations in Shilan Middle School are all scum! They can't wait to stick the brand-name watches on their wrists in your face, and they show off their new bags in every move. This is what a truly low-key rich person should be like! I can live without these things, but I don't allow my collection to have any missing parts!
"Rich man, can I ask you to support me?" Lu Mingfei hugged Ling and rubbed her face against hers, like a teacup puppy fawning on its owner. "I don't need anything extra. I can support myself! You just need to leave me some leftovers! I'm easy to support!"
"Sure." Ling tilted his head, a little addicted to being rubbed by this enthusiastic humanoid loyal dog, "You can use my closet as you like, but all the clothes here can only be hand washed, so you have to be careful."
"No problem!" Lu Mingfei's head was full of bubbles. "By the way, can you carry so many things by yourself when you enter school?"
“I sent a container by express delivery.”
If speaking could kill someone without paying for it, Lu Mingfei felt that this move was the best. In just one minute, her outlook on life was once again impacted, and her health bar was emptied by the final kill.
"You can choose it yourself. I don't like overly flashy styles, but we have them here. If you want to dress up as a nightclub hottie, I can help you. I'll touch up your makeup after I'm done. Since you're going to a dance, your only S-level dress must be eye-catching." Lingban lay on the bed, covering her eyes with a book.
With such a roommate, what else can one ask for in life? This is probably what Lu Mingfei feels now. Ling doesn't like to be thanked so she can't say thank you to her. The only thing to do is to treat her to more midnight snacks. In the field of eating, Ling is probably the leading master in Kassel, because she not only likes to eat but also can analyze the cooking methods and seasonings of dishes, and point out their shortcomings and advantages. Lu Mingfei once thought that Ling should be a princess. Only a princess can have such a delicate stomach, as if she had already eaten all the delicious food in the world.
Amber House is brightly lit. It is a villa building with a Gothic spire, the roof is covered with crimson tiles, and the walls are covered with Indian granite. Looking in through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the brilliance here is far more gorgeous than anywhere else in Kassel. Its owner, Caesar, should be holding on to the idea of turning Amber House into the Oriental Pearl of Kassel, so he always turns on the light power to the maximum, making it like an imperial ballroom deep in the mountains.
The entrance to Amber Hall was covered with a red carpet, with petals floating on both sides. The male cadres of the Student Union wore black suits with white handkerchiefs or crimson roses in their shirt pockets to welcome guests, while the female cadres wore white lace fishtail dresses and carried flower baskets. They would scatter floral blessings to every guest who entered, smiling as sweetly as if they were a perfect couple at a wedding.
Lu Mingfei hid in the edge of a grove in the distance and watched from afar, secretly criticizing Caesar, the capitalist lackey, for being so extravagant and wasteful. Cinderella, who grew up under the education of her aunt, always maintained the good habit of diligence and thrift, and could not bear to see these rich people throwing money around like that.
Of course, she was not blindly hostile to the rich. If Caesar was willing to convert tonight's card-playing games into US dollars and transfer them to her S-level student ID account, then she could proudly extend her hand, saying proudly that it was not because of the money, and ask Caesar to kneel down, kiss the back of her hand and invite her to join the student union.
At this point, things feel a bit like being forced. Deep down, Lu Mingfei is actually not very willing to attend this dance, but she just shot Caesar with a black gun a few days ago. As the boss of the student union, Caesar must have great power in Cassel. As a helpless little heroine who has just entered the world of martial arts, she must apologize to the hero and say that she is being polite to Brother Caesar.
She re-examined herself. She was wearing a lake blue V-neck top with one shoulder, without too much decoration or redundancy. She just tied a belt around her waist. The hem of her skirt was decorated with a few small stars woven with lace. She looked a bit shy. If it was a plumper girl, she might have seen some sexy cleavage. But for her, Lu Mingfei, it was "I am flat, I am proud, I save fabric for the country."
However, this style is indeed more suitable for thinner girls, which will make the figure look more petite and cuter. Since you can't go for the sexy queen style, just pretend to be an ignorant JK girl and sell your innocence. After all, at the age of eighteen, compared to those girls who have been here for a few years and are already in their twenties, you can boldly raise your middle finger and say hello to you aunties.
Although Lu Mingfei didn't have many opportunities to dress up, she was full of tricks. The length of this skirt just touched her ankles, and it would be looming under the cover of the skirt. Her hair was curled up into a princess head with a pure white V-neck. There was a trembling little butterfly on the white beaded bracelet. The three elements of the night that took the initiative, the neck, wrists and ankles were all OK! Stockings? No, bare legs are justice!
Although Chinese people are polite when being a guest, Ling told her that she must take the lead tonight and show her 100% cuteness, otherwise the students in the student union will look down on her. These days, many people are eager to make a fool of her as an S-level person.
Lu Mingfei patted her chest, closed her eyes and breathed repeatedly several times. She finally made up her mind and took a step to attend Cinderella's first ball. As a result, she took the first step incorrectly and almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, there was a tree nearby for support. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain if she damaged Ling's clothes, as she was so good to him.
With such a bad start, it seems like tonight is destined to be a tough night... Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably pessimistic.
At this time, a sports car with strong lights on sped past her. The driver was obviously an expert driver. With such a short distance, he was still able to stop quickly when approaching Amber Hall. The tires glided smoothly and disappeared at the side door of Amber Hall to avoid people's sight. He did not have the embarrassment of those drivers who usually stop suddenly on the road.
Lu Mingfei had a feeling for no reason that the driver was probably Caesar himself, because the professors on the Night Watch forum didn't have a very good opinion of Caesar, all saying that he was a stubborn and domineering playboy. However, it was a different picture on the student union side. Every member of the student union supported Caesar, saying that he was the best student leader in Cassel.
Bah, bah, bah, what do you know about Caesar being the best? Chu Zihang is the No. 1 of The Only, okay!
Lu Mingfei's fangirl was having trouble with her thoughts. She waved her little fists in the air towards the place where the sports car disappeared to vent her anger, as if this would be enough to knock Caesar down and let her senior take over.
"Are you hiding here waiting for the prince to come out with the crystal shoes to find you, Cinderella?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
