After familiarizing himself with them, Xiao Luo had a general understanding of Fu Jiawei and the others. They were all children of rich families like Chu Yue and were also university students. However, they were not in Huaye, but in Huazhong Normal University, which was separated from Huaye by a man-made lake.
When they learned that Xiao Luo came from an ordinary peasant family, Fu Jiawei, Fang Shulan, and Ye Yingying quickly lost interest in him. Their enthusiasm dropped to the freezing point. They dragged Chu Yue and Bai Ling away to drink and chat with other friends.
Those who came to this ball were all children of rich families in Rivertown. It was only right for them to interact more at this time.
Xiao Luo felt at ease being alone. He minded his own business and ate.
He did not have dinner, so his stomach was protesting. He sat down in front of the table filled with all kinds of desserts and fruits and started eating. The taste was not bad. He could not stop once he started eating.
In the distance, Chu Yue, Fu Jiawei, and the others were looking at him.
"Princess Yue, why did you bring such a person into our team? Look at the way he eats. It's so rude and not elegant at all. With him in our team, our overall image will be dragged down, "Ye Yingying complained. Her eyes were filled with disgust for Xiao Luo.
"We are all in the same circle. How can a poor kid like him be qualified to be friends with us? If others find out, they will definitely laugh at us," Fang Shulan echoed.
As the host, Fu Jiawei did not make any comments. Instead, he looked at Chu Yue quietly. Before Chu Yue made her stand clear, he would not comment on the friends brought by Chu Yue, even though he also felt that Xiao Luo was not qualified to be here.
Bai Ling stood up for Xiao Luo. "What's wrong with his table manners? I think it's great. Don't you know that eating is a blessing? Also, my family's financial situation is not good. According to what you said, I shouldn't be here, right? "
"Bai Ling, you're Princess Yue's best friend. How can you be like him?" Ye Yingying said.
"That's right. He is him and you are you. How can he be compared to you? Look at how he eats, wolfing down his food like a prisoner who has just been released from prison. He has no manners at all," Fang Shulan said coldly.
For Chu Yue's sake, Bai Ling didn't want to say anything more, so as not to affect the relationship between everyone. However, as the daughter of an ordinary family, she felt that these people's attitude towards Xiao Luo was really too much.
"What do you mean by in or out of the industry? Why haven't I heard of it? I was the one who brought Xiao Luo here. Are you trying to embarrass me by slandering him like this?"
Chu Yue spoke at this time. Although she was the daughter of a rich family, she was very disgusted with the culture in the circle. Otherwise, she wouldn't be close friends with Bai Ling.
Fang Shulan and Ye Yingying were quite embarrassed. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They didn't expect Chu Yue to have such a big reaction. She actually criticized them for a poor boy.
Fu Jiawei laughed and broke the awkward atmosphere. "Princess Yue is right. We're all students. What do you mean by in or out of the industry? It's all nonsense. Yingying, Shulan, if you talk about Xiao Luo like this again, I'll have to reprimand you."
"We said the wrong thing. Princess Yue, please don't be angry."
"Yes, yes, yes. We just said it casually. Don't take it seriously."
Ye Yingying and Fang Shulan changed their attitude very quickly. It wasn't worth it to be unhappy with Chu Yue for a poor boy.
"I'm not angry with you. Why are you apologizing?"
Chu Yue glared at Xiao Luo with her almond-shaped eyes. "I brought him here this time to let you get to know each other. Secondly, I want you to teach him a lesson for me so that he won't be so arrogant in front of me."
"Oh?"
Fu Jiawei, Fang Shulan, and Ye Yingying looked at each other. Their interest was immediately piqued.
Chu Yue waved at them. The four of them gathered together and softly discussed a strategy to embarrass Xiao Luo.
Bai Ling sighed helplessly and looked at Xiao Luo sympathetically.
…
The music slowly played. The handsome men and beautiful women attending the ball put down the wine glasses in their hands and walked to the dance floor hand in hand to perform a social dance. The so-called social dance was a man and a woman holding each other's waist and back, gently swaying their bodies. They faced each other and looked at each other affectionately as if they were a couple.
"These people are really free and elegant!"
Xiao Luo finished a glass of red wine in one gulp. He then picked up a piece of cream cake, dug into it with a spoon, and put it into his mouth. "Alright, you guys dance your way, I'll eat mine. Let's find our own fun, hehe …"
He wasn't interested in dancing. He was more interested in continuing to be a foodie here.
"Bro Xiao Luo, why aren't you dancing?" At this moment, Fu Jiawei walked over with a smile.
"I don't know how!"
"Hehe … It's okay. No one is born knowing how to dance. How about I get Shulan to teach you?" Fu Jiawei waved at Fang Shulan.
All of this was discussed in advance. It was to embarrass Xiao Luo and fulfill Chu Yue's wish.
Fu Jiawei added, "Shulan is a master of street dancing."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know how to dance."
Xiao Luo rejected. There was so much good food, why would he dance?
"It's okay. I said we'll be good brothers in the future. Don't be so reserved. Moreover, Shulan isn't an outsider. We're all in the same team. There's nothing to be embarrassed about," Fu Jiawei said with a smile.
Fang Shulan glanced at Xiao Luo and shouted, "Come if you're a man. Don't be so wishy-washy."
Previously, she thought Xiao Luo was also a member of the same circle. Her attitude towards Xiao Luo was very friendly and polite. Now that she knew he had no background and was just a poor boy from the countryside, she didn't have to be polite anymore.
The problem was seriously related to the deep problem of whether he was a man or not. Xiao Luo, this male chauvinist guy, couldn't let them trample on his dignity.
He snorted, put down the half-eaten cake in his hand, patted the residue off his hands, got up and walked to the dance floor.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded in his mind. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining dancing talent. 500 points are consumed!"
"The fish took the bait."
The smile on Fu Jiawei's face grew wider. He quietly made an OK gesture to Chu Yue in the distance, and then signaled the sound engineer to play the explosive music.
On the empty dance floor, when Fang Shulan started dancing, she had a strong sense of rhythm and vividness that belonged to a boy. Her street dancing was very pleasing and eye-catching. Coupled with the dynamic and explosive music, she seemed to be the incarnation of a generation's dance queen, gathering all the glory in one body. She attracted exclamations and warm applause from the guests on and off the dance floor.
"It's your turn!"
After a set of street dancing, Fang Shulan was panting. She nodded at Xiao Luo. "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to dance. As long as you dance with the rhythm and passion, it's considered street dancing."
"It's that simple?" Xiao Luo smiled playfully.
"It's that simple." Fang Shulan nodded.
