Xie Sen knew that MeiIn valued his uncle a lot, so he asked, "Did you agree?"
MeiIn nodded. "I couldn't refuse."
Xie Sen looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by he couldn't refuse?
MeiIn pursed his lips. "I don't want to put my uncle in a difficult position. It was General Rex who gave him the order." MeiIn's tone turned cold. "He probably wants to talk to me about something!"
Xie Sen guessed, "Could it be that you won the league and he thinks you're good, so he wants to use this opportunity to improve his relationship with you?"
"Maybe," MeiIn said. "We'll know when we go tomorrow."
Xie Sen was worried. MeiIn valued his uncle the most, and his uncle's brother and Rui Luo were the worst. If MeiIn turned evil, it was most likely related to them.
All of them would be at Rui Luo's birthday party, so there were too many possibilities.
"I'll go with you." Xie Sen thought about it and quickly suggested, "Can you take me?"
MeiIn said, "You really want to go?"
Xie Sen nodded affirmatively. MeiIn said, "I'll ask my uncle for another invitation."
"No need to go through so much trouble. You should be able to bring a dance partner for this kind of party, right?" Xie Sen asked.
MeiIn looked at him and nodded. "Yes."
After the two of them decided to go to the party together, they rented a dress online again. They didn't care much about Rui Luo's birthday party and didn't spend any time on it. They went straight to the clothes rental store and rented the same dress that they would wear to Jie and Jin Yao's marriage ceremony.
The next day, Xie Sen went home from work and changed into a dress. He had dinner with MeiIn before going to Rex's house.
The architectural style of Rex's house was very similar to that of Ya Ben's house. It was a huge castle. From the entrance, through the corridor, to the banquet hall, there were artificial ornamental plants along the way. It was very beautiful.
"Oh, my dear MeiIn, I'm so happy to see you." Socatto was wearing a black suit. He walked in front of MeiIn and opened his arms to hug him. It was a warm greeting.
After the greeting, Socatto took a step back and looked at Xie Sen beside MeiIn with surprise and curiosity. "Aren't you going to introduce this beautiful female to me?"
The standard smile hanging at the corner of Xie Sen's mouth instantly froze. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to hold back from blurting out, "You are the female!"
MeiIn corrected her, "This is my friend, Xie Sen. He's a male."
"I'm so sorry," Sokto said apologetically and extended his hand to Xie Sen. "Please forgive my slip of the tongue. It's nice to meet you."
Xie Sen reached out and shook his hand. He tried his best to appear generous and laughed. "It's nothing."
"There are still twenty minutes before the official start. You can walk around and eat something. I have to go greet the guests."
MeiIn nodded and Socatto went to greet another guest. Xie Sen looked around and pulled MeiIn to the sofa in the corner to wait.
He could already feel the guests' gazes falling on them from time to time. At the same time, it was accompanied by surprised discussions.
Not long ago, MeiIn and Rui Luo's conflict had spread like wildfire. MeiIn's appearance at Rui Luo's birthday party was indeed surprising.
He pulled MeiIn and had only taken two steps when a tall man wearing a suit of the same color as his walked towards them. Like most of the people here, this man had handsome features and held two wine glasses in his hands.
He bent down slightly and placed the wine glass in his right hand in front of Xie Sen. He looked elegant. "Beautiful young man, can you have a drink with me?"
MeiIn frowned and looked at the man coldly. He turned to look at Xie Sen's reaction.
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. He did look good now, but he wasn't used to people describing him as "beautiful."
"Thank you, but I don't drink." He politely refused.
Alcohol was definitely a super luxury here. To be able to serve alcohol at a party, the Kes family was indeed powerful.
The man looked disappointed. He shrugged and didn't continue. "I hope I have the honor to dance with you later." After he finished speaking, he stepped to the side and didn't block their way anymore.
Xie Sen didn't reply. He had never even seen a dance on Planet Brent, let alone dance. Even if he knew, he wouldn't dance with a stranger.
He pulled MeiIn, whose eyebrows had relaxed because of his reaction, to continue walking towards the corner. After a few steps, he heard unintentionally quiet discussions.
"Wow, is this female an idiot? She actually rejected Young Master Qiao and the illegitimate son of the Kes family! "
"Don't tell me she doesn't know Young Master Qiao's identity?"
"I think it's very possible. Maybe she thinks MeiIn can successfully enter the Kes family by attending the party. She thinks she's riding on the Kes family's coattails!"
"How can it be so easy to enter the Kes family? He's an illegitimate son! He doesn't have any family backing him. "
"Ha, short-sighted female. If she knows Young Master Qiao's identity and MeiIn isn't valued by the Kes family, she'll probably regret it to death!"
Xie Sen kept pulling MeiIn's arm and immediately felt his muscles tense up.
Xie Sen turned his head and rolled his eyes at the three short females who were discussing together. "Don't be so talkative. If you're whispering, you should look like you're whispering. Otherwise, you might as well use a loudspeaker and let the whole place hear your gossip."
It was fine if they couldn't hear it, but if they did, it would affect their mood.
His voice wasn't soft and attracted many people's attention. Then, they followed his gaze and looked at the three from the Eight Trigrams Group.
The three females didn't expect him to mock them loudly. The surrounding gazes made their faces red. One of the boys with light grey hair glared at him angrily. "What does what we say have to do with you? Did we say something wrong? "
"Of course you're wrong!" Xie Sen pointed at himself. "Firstly, I'm a male. Secondly, if you mention me, it's obviously related to me. Does it have nothing to do with you when I mention you?"
The three of them looked at him in shock. They didn't expect him to be a male.
After the shock, the boy with light grey mocked him. "How can you be considered a male? You might as well call yourself a fake female!"
Xie Sen instantly translated his words. Pseudo-female = sissy.
Xie Sen's face darkened immediately. His masculinity was being questioned!
He pointed at the boy. "Shallow female who judges people by their appearance. You, find a male that you think is powerful and let him spar with me. If I win, you have to apologize to me! You have to say 'I'm a male' ten times! "
The boy was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Sen to have such a reaction. The surrounding people also looked at Xie Sen in shock. He was so confident?
The boy sized up Xie Sen's small body. "What if you lose!"
Xie Sen gritted his teeth. "I'll apologize to you and admit what you said."
"You have to apologize to my friend!" The boy said.
"Okay." Xie Sen agreed immediately. Even if he had to use up all his energy in one go, he had to win with the Super Potato Chili Powder Rain!
The boy opened his wristband. "Brother, someone bullied me. Come over quickly!"
Xie Sen was speechless. "Stop lying through your teeth. You were the one who mocked me. When did I bully you? I issued the challenge fair and square. So many people are watching! "
The boy snorted and looked at the door. Not long after, a tall and strong man in a black suit walked in. The boy immediately waved at him.
The man in the black suit walked to the boy's side. The boy immediately pointed at Xie Sen. "Brother, he wants to challenge you."
The man looked at Xie Sen and revealed a surprised expression. "What's going on?"
Xie Sen explained the situation. "Find an open space and spar!"
The man patted his younger brother's head. "Nonsense. Apologize to him." He smiled at Xie Sen. "I'm sorry. We were in the wrong. I admit defeat. Why don't you leave your contact information and find a time to treat you to a meal to apologize?"
"Brother, I asked you to teach him a lesson, not to flirt with him!" The boy covered the back of his head with an unhappy expression.
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. MeiIn looked at the man with an unfriendly expression. There was a lot of laughter around.
"Apologize." The man looked down at his younger brother and said sternly, "You were in the wrong. Gossiping about others and mocking them. Where are your manners?"
The boy bit his lip in grievance. Being stared at, he angrily said to Xie Sen, "I'm sorry."
Xie Sen was like a deflated balloon. He originally wanted to fight to his heart's content to clear his name, but the development of the situation was completely out of his expectations. He only felt that it was useless.
He waved his hand to indicate that it was fine. He was too lazy to argue.
He pulled MeiIn to a corner. The man followed and held out his bracelet. "I'm really sorry. Give me a chance to apologize."
Xie Sen was speechless as he watched this person use the same method his roommates used to flirt with girls to deal with him. He didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. He shook his head. "Your brother has already apologized. You don't have to be polite."
The man was about to say something, but MeiIn pulled Xie Sen's arm and changed his position. He stood between Xie Sen and the man and looked at the man coldly. "Your brother ran out in anger. Maybe you should go and talk to him."
The man looked back. His brother was indeed not there. He looked at MeiIn. The place where their eyes met seemed to be lit by lightning.
After a moment, the man smiled with a relaxed expression. "It's useless to guard him. You can't guard him."
MeiIn's face instantly darkened. The man smiled at Xie Sen and said goodbye to Xie Sen in a gentle tone. He turned and left to chase after his brother who was throwing a tantrum.
Xie Sen rolled his eyes at the man's back. He thought that their relationship was not pure. He and MeiIn were close friends. How could he make it sound so ambiguous?
He pulled MeiIn's sleeve. "Don't be angry. He's just talking nonsense."
MeiIn looked at him. Xie Sen revealed a bright smile. "Don't be angry because of a stranger. Let's go to the corner and sit for a while. Let's try the food here."
However, before he could take two steps, another person came over to curry favor with him.
Xie Sen sent away three people in succession. Finally, he and MeiIn sat on the sofa in the corner. He supported his chin with his hand and was puzzled. He pinched the side of his face. "My appearance has changed. Am I better looking than you?"
Could it be to the extent that people would be moved just by looking at him?
MeiIn shook his head. "No."
Xie Sen was puzzled. "Then why are you so abnormal today?"
MeiIn whispered softly, "Maybe …"
What? "Xie Sen did not hear clearly. He leaned his head closer." Maybe what? "
MeiIn looked at him and then turned his head to look around. He whispered, "Let's go back and talk. In order to ensure the safety of the guests, the Kes family must have surveillance everywhere."
Xie Sen was even more surprised. What was so important that they had to avoid surveillance?
Suddenly, all the lights in the banquet hall went out. Xie Sen was startled. The next moment, his right hand was held by a pair of big hands. The palms of the big hands were warm and had thin calluses. Although the owner of the hands was very young, Xie Sen felt very at ease.
He turned his head. The banquet hall's lights were on. The light that spread to the corner was not very bright, but he could see people clearly. He and MeiIn's eyes met.
Xie Sen felt that MeiIn's eyes were not the same as usual, which made him inexplicably flustered.
"Welcome, everyone …"
The gloomy opening speech brought Xie Sen back to reality. He turned his head to look at the podium. He noticed that MeiIn's eyes did not move away from him. He wanted to ask why he was looking at him, but he felt inexplicably awkward.
After the welcome speech, it was Ruilo's musical performance. It had only been a few days, but he looked thinner and paler. Coupled with his delicate face, it was easy to feel pity for him.
His performance won warm applause. He gave a speech of thanks. His tone was sincere, but his voice was weak. His attitude was very humble, and his etiquette was meticulous. He won a lot of praise.
The lights in the banquet hall came back on, but they were dimmer than before. The music started, and many people started dancing in pairs.
Xie Sen looked curiously at the other people dancing. The dance here was very powerful. It was a bit like a rumba, but not as lingering. It was very passionate and unrestrained. The atmosphere soon became lively.
MeiIn put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Do you want to dance?"
Xie Sen hurriedly shook his head and said honestly, "I don't know how."
"I can teach you," MeiIn said.
Xie Sen looked up and saw a pair of partners close to each other. The male's hands were palms on the back of the female's shoulders, then slid down to the back of her waist. The female's right foot hooked around the male's left leg, gradually moving up from the ankle.
It was hot and flirtatious.
He quickly looked away and said vaguely with a red face, "No, no need. My hands and feet are not coordinated. I'm not suitable for dancing."
"Is that so?" MeiIn chuckled.
Xie Sen coughed softly and nodded seriously.
"Brother," Ruilo walked over and called affectionately. Unlike his voice, his expression was not very good. There was a stiff smile on his lips. Obviously, his acting was not very good. However, his back was to the banquet hall, so no one could see his expression. He raised his voice slightly. "I'm so happy that you came to my birthday party."
Xie Sen rubbed his arms. Fortunately, this person was not an actor. Otherwise, the director would be furious.
MeiIn looked at him coldly and exposed him without giving him any face. "If your expression was in sync with your voice, I might believe your sincerity."
Ruilo's expression stiffened and he sat across from them. "Brother, you misunderstood. I just …" He coughed softly. "I haven't recovered from my injuries."
"I'm sorry, brother. I was too immature before. Please forgive me." As he spoke, his hands clenched into fists on his knees.
MeiIn looked away and ignored him.
Xie Sen burst out laughing. Ruilo glared at him and quickly changed his expression into a gentle one. "You're here too. That's great."
He picked up a stack of jerky. "Try this. It's delicious."
Xie Sen waved his hand. "I don't want to eat right now."
Ruilo got up and sat next to Xie Sen. He said enthusiastically, "Then what do you like to do? Race cars or go shopping? Or travel to other planets. Is there a place you want to go? I'll invite you. "
Xie Sen moved towards MeiIn and looked at him strangely. "What do you want?"
"You're my brother's friend, so you're my friend." He looked at MeiIn's sour expression and his smile was no longer forced. "I like you. I want to play with you."
MeiIn stared at him coldly. "He won't play with you."
Ruilo chuckled and suddenly reached out to lift Xie Sen's collar. MeiIn slapped his hand away.
Ruilo covered the back of his hand and glared at him. Then he looked at Xie Sen and smiled. "You rented this dress, right? I can buy it for you and give you a few more. You're working too hard at Gold Star. I can help you find an easier job with higher pay. "
"No need." Xie Sen was speechless. Did he want to keep him? He was a man. Did he need someone to keep him? Who was he looking down on?
"I'm so happy to see you two brothers talking so happily." Socatto walked over and looked touched.
Xie Sen pursed his lips. What a blatant lie!
He said to MeiIn, "Come with me. Admiral Rex wants to see you."
MeiIn subconsciously frowned, but he was already mentally prepared. Some things had to be made clear. He got up. "Can my friend come with me?"
Socatto spread his hands helplessly. "I don't think the Admiral wants anyone else to see his meeting with you. Don't worry, Ruilo will take care of him."
MeiIn was even more worried. He said to Xie Sen, "I'll be back soon. Stay here and don't leave."
Xie Sen agreed. He thought for a moment and asked, "Where's the Admiral?"
"In the study." Socatto pointed to a house behind the banquet hall.
Xie Sen glanced in that direction. It wasn't far. He said to MeiIn, "Contact me if you need anything."
"You too."
Socatto laughed and patted MeiIn's shoulder. "Don't be nervous. There's no man-eating monster. You young people like to think too much. So many guests saw you tonight. No one will hurt you."
MeiIn and Xie Sen looked at each other and left with Socatto.
Ruilo picked up a stack of jerky again. "MeiIn isn't here. You can try this, right? It's really delicious. "
"I don't want to eat it." Xie Sen sat across from him and distanced himself from him. "MeiIn isn't here. You don't have to act anymore. You purposely used me to piss off MeiIn, right?"
"Why would I?" Ruilo laughed. "I really like you. I don't understand why you have to follow MeiIn. He has nothing, and I …"
Xie Sen raised his hand to stop him. "I'm friends with MeiIn because of him, not because of what he has. As for you, I'm not interested in you at all."
"You!" Ruilo sneered. "Him? You're 18, right? I didn't think an adult would be stupid because of his looks. "
Ruilo said, "You don't know him at all. He's a demon. He was born wrong. He's an unlucky person."
Xie Sen frowned. "Are you out of your mind? Kid, what are you talking about? "If this continued, would they be talking about ancient curses?
"I'm not talking nonsense," Ruilo said firmly. "You don't know him. You don't know that his father …"
He suddenly paused. Xie Sen froze. He had never heard MeiIn mention his father. On Brent, a father was like a mother.
"What's wrong with his father?" Xie Sen asked nervously.
Ruilo studied his expression. "You want to know? Let's go play in the backyard. Someone's setting off fireworks. It's beautiful. You're biased against me. I think playing together will change your impression of me. "
Xie Sen pursed his lips. "Say it or not. I'm not going. I'm staying here."
Ruilo muttered to himself, "He's as stubborn as an old man. I don't understand why my father wants me to please him."
Xie Sen didn't care what he was saying. He adjusted his posture and slid down, leaning against the back of the sofa to make himself more comfortable. He turned on his bracelet and browsed through the news.
Ruilo was silent for a while and tried to find something to talk about. "Have you ever been …"
He asked a bunch of questions. Xie Sen glanced at him at first, but he didn't even look up. All he could hear was Ruilo talking about where the scenery was beautiful, where the food was delicious, and how much money he spent on this and that.
Xie Sen listened for a while and understood. This wasn't a tourist attraction. It was a show of wealth!
"Hey, I've said so much. Don't you have any thoughts? Stop following MeiIn. Come with me. I'll give you everything I have, "Ruilo said temptingly.
Xie Sen didn't know what to say. It was just being friends. Why did it sound so wrong?
Ruilo searched for all the topics he could talk about, but Xie Sen didn't react at all. He gritted his teeth. "Weren't you interested in MeiIn's father?"
Xie Sen looked up instinctively, but stopped himself halfway. If he acted interested, Ruilo might make another offer. He looked down at the news and pretended not to be interested. His ears perked up.
Ruilo mocked him. "I told you, MeiIn is unlucky. You'll be unlucky if you stay with him. He's like an idiot. He thinks his father died in a car accident. In fact, his father committed suicide because of him!"
"What did you say?" Two voices came from behind Ruilo at the same time.
As Xie Sen asked, he looked up and saw the owner of the other voice — MeiIn.
MeiIn stood behind the sofa where Ruilo was sitting. His face was dark and his eyes were dark. He took two steps forward and grabbed the back of Ruilo's collar. He used so much strength that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. "Say that again!"
Ruilo's neck was strangled by the collar. His face turned red. He tried to push the man's hand away and coughed. "Let go of me!"
Xie Sen was shocked. He stood up quickly. "MeiIn!"
MeiIn didn't seem to hear him. He stared at Ruilo and said in a cold voice, "Say that again!"
Ruilo shuddered. His body trembled and he gritted his teeth. "Demon." As he spoke, he quickly unbuttoned his shirt. He turned around and raised his hand to hit MeiIn. MeiIn took a step back. Ruilo took the opportunity to take off his shirt.
"So what if I said it? You're the idiot!" Ruilo sneered.
MeiIn's eyes were red. He rushed forward and jumped over the sofa. His right hand grabbed Ruilo's neck and pressed him against the sofa. "You forced him to do this, didn't you?"
Although the man in his memory was timid, he was passionate about life. He wouldn't kill himself for no reason.
Ruilo's face was pale. He couldn't speak.
Xie Sen was shocked. With MeiIn's strength, he didn't doubt that Ruilo's neck would be broken in the next second. He reached out and grabbed MeiIn's left arm. "Don't be rash!"
If he killed Ruilo here, even if he had a good reason, MeiIn would suffer.
Just as he finished speaking, a two-meter-tall gray wolf suddenly appeared in the living room. It howled and jumped into the air, pouncing in the direction of Maine.
Xie Sen's eyes widened. Before he could react, he was pushed to the left by MeiIn. He fell to the ground and didn't bother to get up. He looked in MeiIn's direction.
MeiIn dodged to the right. After the gray wolf landed, it continued to attack him. A claw hit his shoulder. With MeiIn's skills, he could've dodged it, but he didn't. He just stared at the gray wolf.
"Ruilo, are you okay?" Socatto followed closely behind the gray wolf. He picked up Ruilo, who was lying on the sofa. He shouted anxiously without looking at MeiIn.
The light on MeiIn's body seemed to disappear in an instant. All that was left was endless darkness. He looked at the gray wolf and his lips curled up. He made a short sound. "Ha."
So it was like that. It was all fake. Everything was fake! They were all liars! Hypocrites. Disgusting!
He knew it. He knew it! As a top student in the Information Department, how could he not know that Socatto's words were suspicious? But Socatto's words were so nice. They hit the spot where his deepest desire lay.
Maybe if he believed it, it would be true.
MeiIn's voice was soft, but it hit Xie Sen's heart like a hammer. Xie Sen's heart ached. He was about to call out to MeiIn when a voice came from beside him.
"Are you okay?" The young master of the Qiao family had unknowingly stood by his side. He bent down and reached out to support him as he asked with concern.
Xie Sen realized that he was still sitting on the ground. He quickly got up and politely thanked him. "Thank you."
MeiIn's eyes moved. No, he still had hope. A faint hope. He looked in Xie Sen's direction. The elegant man was holding Xie Sen. Xie Sen looked up and smiled at him.
"Hahaha …"
MeiIn suddenly laughed. His laughter was full of mockery. It was all directed at himself. As he laughed, he suddenly screamed. His voice was so shrill that it was frightening. He glanced at Socatto and Ruilo coldly, then turned and ran out.
"MeiIn!" Xie Sen shouted anxiously. He wanted to run after him.
Young Master Qiao grabbed his arm. "You're injured here. You should see a doctor."
Xie Sen was so anxious that he slapped his hand away. He didn't say anything and ran in the direction of MeiIn.
MeiIn's shoulder was bleeding. His crazed appearance was especially frightening. The guests quickly moved aside to make way for him. He was very fast and ran out of the banquet hall.
Xie Sen wasn't as fast as him. As he ran, a man stopped him. "Don't chase him. He's very dangerous now. He'll hurt you."
Xie Sen glared at him fiercely and pushed him away. "Go away!"
