In front of the grand piano, the young girl, Xu Xu, sat on the piano stool. Her fingers danced on the black and white keys, and the notes fluttered out, forming a gentle and beautiful piece of music.
'To Alice' was an introductory piano exercise. It was easy to play, but it was difficult to play it well.
Gao Zhengyang did not know how to play the piano, nor did he have much musical talent. He could only see that Xu Xu's playing was very skillful. Most importantly, it was very pleasing to the ear. She displayed the charm of the music.
Xu Xu might not be comparable to a professional pianist, but her outstanding performance made up for her lack of technique. Her abundant emotions were also completely conveyed.
For most people, there were only two types of music: good and bad. Xu Xu's performance of 'To Alice' was undoubtedly very good.
After Xu Xu finished playing, she stood up and bowed to everyone below the stage. She received a warm applause.
Xu Xu's performance at the coming of age ceremony tonight was perfect. She also left a deep impression on all the attendees.
The emcee on the stage ran out again and praised Xu Xu's piano skills and elegant demeanor. He also flattered Xu Xu's parents by saying that only excellent parents could raise such an excellent daughter.
According to traditional Chinese etiquette, Xu Xu's mother, Zheng Xiuxia, took out a golden hairpin and inserted it into Xu Xu's hair bun. Then, the coming of age ceremony was officially over.
According to western etiquette, Xu Xu's father, Xu Chunqiu, led Xu Xu to the first dance.
After that, it was time for free communication.
Many teenagers ran over to invite Xu Xu to dance, but she smiled and rejected them all. The girl's second dance had a great symbolic meaning. Usually, it would be a fiancé or boyfriend.
On such an occasion, even if they knew it would be embarrassing, the teenagers would not back down. If Xu Xu agreed, it would be too embarrassing.
In fact, Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia were watching from the side. They also wanted to see who Xu Xu would choose as her dance partner.
Xu Xu and Xu Ming also surrounded Xu Xu. Xu Xu's elder sister and eldest brother were very concerned about the youngest daughter in the family.
Xu Ming was the eldest son of the Xu family, and he was seven years older than Xu Xu. He was now in charge of the special police department in Jinling Prefecture. His position was not high, but he had a lot of power. He had thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, and he was tall and burly, which made him look very intimidating.
Xu Ming glanced at the young man who was running over, and he felt a little terrified. There were very few who could speak fluently.
Gu Tao was so courageous, but he did not dare to get close to Xu Ming. After all, he was a few years older than Xu Xu and had a bad reputation. In the past, asking someone to dance was considered flirting. With Xu Ming's temper, it was very likely that he would find him and give him a good beating.
Xue Lifeng was originally not afraid of Xu Ming, but he had just discussed with Gu Tao to do bad things, and when he saw Xu Ming again, he felt very guilty. Moreover, he knew that Xu Xu would not choose him as her dance partner.
Running over now would just be a waste of effort.
Although many people were dancing, most of their attention was still on Xu Xu. All of them wanted to see whose child Xu Xu liked.
These wealthy merchants of Shangjiang had been operating in Shangjiang for decades. They were all inextricably linked to each other. It could be said that this circle was not big.
Although Xu Xu was still young, with the Xu Family's background, if Xu Xu were to make a choice in public, it would mean that she had to admit their relationship. This was actually a very serious matter.
Normally, Xu Xu would not make a choice. The boys' invitation was more of a formality than anything else.
Xu Chunqiu and his wife, as well as Xu Ming, saw it the same way. After all, the coming-of-age ceremony banquet was already perfect. They stayed by Xu Xu's side to prevent any accidents.
Only Xu Xu was a little nervous. She knew that Xu Xu and Gao Zhengyang were very close. Gao Zhengyang was also the kind of person who was not afraid of anything. If he ran over, Xu Xu would probably not refuse. That would be a little troublesome.
When Xu Xu thought of this, she could not help but look at the corner of the hall. The students of Class 1 were all there, including Gao Zhengyang.
At this time, the boys in Class 1 were also in an uproar. Almost none of them understood the meaning of choosing a dance partner. However, that did not stop them from fantasizing.
The boys were eager to try, but they were also a little timid. They looked at each other, but no one dared to take the lead. However, they were not willing to give up.
Gao Zhengyang was the only one who sat there calmly as if he was watching a show.
One of the boys could not help but mock him. "Gao Zhengyang, you and Xu Xu are so close, why don't you go?"
Gao Zhengyang glanced at the boy and said slowly, "What's the hurry? When all of you are defeated, I'll appear in the rainbow light and take the beauty away. The effect will be even more shocking."
"You, sister …"
Although the boy was extremely dissatisfied with Gao Zhengyang's tyranny, he did not dare to scold him in front of his face. He could only keep the last word "sister" in his heart.
The other boys were also a little dissatisfied. Gao Zhengyang was too pretentious. However, for the same reason, no one dared to scold Gao Zhengyang in front of him. However, they could not hide the resentment and jealousy in their eyes.
Feng and Yue Ruo, who was next to him, said thoughtfully, "So you were so annoying when you were young."
There was no doubt that Gao Zhengyang's arrogant and overbearing personality would not be welcomed anywhere. If you got along with him, you would either be conquered by him or killed by him. Other than that, there were no other options.
When Moon Breeze came to Cerulean Planet, they awakened more spirituality and developed some emotions. They could interact and joke with Gao Zhengyang. They looked more like living people.
Gao Zhengyang was very happy to see the changes in Moon Breeze. An interesting Feng Yue was much better than a cold Feng Yue.
As for whether Moon Breeze would break away from his control, Gao Zhengyang was not worried at all. Moon Breeze was an artifact spirit, completely bound to the Blood God Flag. Without his authorization, Moon Breeze could not operate the Blood God Flag.
From this point, Moon Breeze would never be able to break away from his control. Moreover, both parties had made a contract. This was also something that external forces could not change.
If there was a problem, the contract would definitely break first.
The others could not see Moon Breeze, nor could they hear what she said, so naturally, they did not know what Gao Zhengyang was laughing about. The group of boys was startled and hurriedly lowered their heads and shoulders, afraid that Gao Zhengyang would cause trouble for them.
Gao Zhengyang stood up and strode straight towards Xu Xu. His figure was tall and slender, his steps steady but light. The arrogant and confident aura between his brows was like a sharp unsheathed blade, sharp and threatening.
As he walked, he attracted the attention of many people.
Gu Tao, Xue Lifeng, Gu Lingzhi and the others also realized what Gao Zhengyang wanted to do, and they all widened their eyes. If Xu Xu accepted Gao Zhengyang's invitation in public, it would mean that she publicly admitted their relationship.
This was not a small matter. It concerned Xu Xu's lifelong happiness and the Xu Family's reputation.
Gu Tao and the others felt that it was unlikely. This was because Gao Zhengyang's background was too poor and he did not even study well. He only knew how to fight. A wealthy family like the Xu Family would not take a liking to Gao Zhengyang.
If others knew that Xu Xu and Gao Zhengyang were dating, it would not be a glorious thing for the Xu Family.
Gu Lingzhi could not help but say, "This kid is so arrogant, I want to kill him just by looking at him. I wonder how he managed to live so long! "
Gu Tao smiled slyly, "I actually hope that Xu Xu will accept the invitation. We can also let others see that the daughter of the Xu Family actually likes this kind of rascal. "
"That's right, hahaha …"
Xu Xu was dazzling tonight, which made Gu Lingzhi very jealous. She could not wait for Xu Xu to make a fool of herself.
Gu Tao then whispered to Xue Lifeng, "I'm right, right? Xu Xu looks pure and elegant, but deep down, she's a slut. She likes hooligans and rascals. If we do her together, she'll definitely like it! "
Xue Lifeng had a complicated expression on his face. Gu Tao's words were harsh, but they seemed to be right. Other than fighting, Gao Zhengyang didn't have anything else. If Xu Xu was not a slut, why would she like Gao Zhengyang and not him?
Xu Jie could not help but move forward. He did not believe that Xu Xu would accept Gao Zhengyang's invitation. However, if she accepted, it would be embarrassing for the Xu Family. This was something he could not allow.
Therefore, Xu Jie wanted to stop Gao Zhengyang. Just now, he was frightened by Gao Zhengyang's gaze and lost face. This time, he wanted to regain his face. He did not believe that in front of so many people, Gao Zhengyang would dare to do anything to him.
Xu Jie encouraged himself in his heart and strode over to stop Gao Zhengyang. However, before he could get close, the Moon Breeze couple floated in front of him and gently tapped his forehead with a finger.
The Moon Breeze couple was invisible, so Xu Jie naturally could not see it. He only felt a slight heat between his eyebrows before his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
The laws on the Blue Planet were very strong, but the Blood God Flag had been nourished by billions of blood essences and had already activated the source of the Blood River. In terms of grade, it was still a rank eleven, but in terms of actual power, it far exceeded its own rank.
After the Moon Breeze couple awakened, their ability to interfere with the physical world was still very weak. However, it was easy to interfere with a person's consciousness. Especially for a youth like Xu Jie, who seemed brave but was actually timid, he had neither faith nor determination. It was very easy to invade his mind and control his consciousness.
Most people's eyes were on Gao Zhengyang, and few paid attention to Xu Jie, who was trying to cause trouble. Xue Lifeng and the others saw that Xu Jie was standing there, but they just thought that he did not have the guts to go up. They did not think that there was a problem.
Under everyone's gaze, Gao Zhengyang walked straight to Xu Xu and stretched out his hand with a smile. "I'll dance with you."
Xu Xu did not hesitate, and she did not think that there was a need to. She reached out and took Gao Zhengyang's hand, and they walked into the center's dance floor hand in hand.
Although Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia were a little surprised, they did not show it on their faces. However, their gazes were somewhat awkward.
After all, their daughter was still young. She did not ask about this kind of thing and just casually danced with a boy. It was a little willful.
However, both of them were still open-minded enough to know that there was actually no reason to talk about this kind of relationship between a young girl and a boy.
Xu Ming's eyes flashed, and his face was somewhat unfriendly. It was a little presumptuous for a kid of unknown origin to do this.
"This boy's name is Gao Zhengyang."
Xu Xu could not play dumb anymore, so she introduced him to her parents and brother in a low voice. "He's Xiao Xu's classmate and also her good friend."
After a pause, she continued, "Gao Zhengyang was born an orphan, and he was accepted as a disciple by Elder Sun of the Tai Chi Faction."
Xu Ming said coldly, "What's the point of learning martial arts nowadays? To kill and commit arson?"
Xu Xu said helplessly, "Big brother, don't say that. Gao Zhengyang is a good person. "
There were too many people around, so Xu Xu could not say much. She could only say a few good words for Gao Zhengyang.
Xu Chunqiu and Zheng Xiuxia did not say anything. It was too early to say anything now.
The young boy and girl who were dancing in the center of the dance floor made many people's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
Many people were discussing the young boy who was dancing with Xu Xu. Then, soon, the news spread that the young boy named Gao Zhengyang was an orphan who came from the bottom of society.
It was rare for a poor boy to hook up with a rich girl. Now, this scene was displayed in front of everyone.
There were all kinds of discussions among the crowd. Some were amazed, some were praising, but most of them were mocking and ridiculing.
Li Jiang, who was watching from afar, looked extremely gloomy. He did not want to fight with Gao Zhengyang over such a small matter. However, he could not tolerate Gao Zhengyang wanting to join the Xu family.
