Zoe had invited Lu Zhiyu to a high-class ball in London. The venue was a manor in the suburbs. Lu Zhiyu had immersed himself in experiments for several years in Maria's World. When he came out, he did not even know how to speak, and his expression was like a block of wood.
Lu Zhiyu felt that if he continued to stay like this, he would really become a robot. So, he accepted Zooey's invitation to come out and relax. He also wanted to take a look at the so-called ball of the British upper class. Lu Zhiyu had only seen this kind of thing in the movies, so he was very curious about it.
Lu Zhiyu changed into a formal suit and drove to the suburbs of London. London had once been the most polluted city in the world, but now, there seemed to be no trace of pollution. The suburbs were very beautiful, with fresh air and pleasant scenery.
Lu Zhiyu felt very comfortable as he drove along the road. He arrived at Andrew's Manor. From afar, he could see a large European-style building at the foot of the mountain.
It seemed that many people had already arrived. When Lu Zhiyu drove to the entrance of the manor, he found that there were already many people there. After parking the car, he took out the invitation.
There were a few men in suits standing at the door. Lu Zhiyu took out the invitation and let them check it. Then, he walked inside. The lawn in the garden was neatly trimmed, with all kinds of flowers and trees complementing each other. There was also a fountain and an angel statue. A few servants were tending to the garden!
Although the manor looked new, the main building was a castle. Lu Zhiyu could feel the rich history of the castle. It seemed that the owner of the manor was not just rich!
Lu Zhiyu pushed open the glass door and walked in. He saw that there were already many people in the hall, gathered in groups of twos and threes. However, the moment Lu Zhiyu walked in, a large number of eyes were fixed on him. His elf-like appearance and unique temperament made him the center of attention no matter where he went, even in this place.
Immediately, many people walked over and looked at Lu Zhiyu curiously. A woman in a long black dress was the first to walk over. When she saw Lu Zhiyu's appearance, she said, "Hello, I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you!"
Lu Zhiyu shook Lisa's hand. "Anthony, it's my pleasure to meet you too, Ms. Lisa!"
Lisa's hand was held by Lu Zhiyu. She asked excitedly, "Oh, I'm sorry. I know it's a little presumptuous, but I still want to ask, are you a man?"
The corners of Lu Zhiyu's mouth twitched slightly, but he nodded. By then, many people had already gathered around them. Both men and women were looking at Lu Zhiyu with interest. Many of them gasped in surprise. Lisa covered her mouth and said, "You are so … so handsome. Even us women are jealous!"
Lu Zhiyu did not know what to say. He could only say, "Thank you for the compliment!"
At that moment, Lu Zhiyu's hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. He looked over and saw that it was Zooey. Zooey looked at Lisa and said, "Lisa, I'm sorry, but this is my friend. I have something to discuss with him!"
Lisa frowned and turned to leave. Zooey pulled Lu Zhiyu to the left corner of the hall. The two of them found a red sofa and sat down. Immediately, a servant came by with food and wine. They each took a glass!
Zooey clinked glasses with Lu Zhiyu. "Did you come alone? Didn't you bring a date? "
Lu Zhiyu shook his head and said, "No, I don't know anyone here. I just wanted to see what a European ball is like!"
Zooey looked at Lu Zhiyu in surprise. "Oh my god, are you … gay?"
Zooey looked at Lu Zhiyu and seemed to have confirmed it. Lu Zhiyu quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Zooey, don't joke around. This joke is not funny!"
Zooey looked into Lu Zhiyu's eyes and nodded. She took his hand and said, "Alright, I'll be your date today. Dance with me later!"
Lu Zhiyu nodded and said, "But I'm not good at dancing. Don't blame me if I step on your foot!"
Zooey stood up and waved at Lu Zhiyu. "Anthony, let me introduce you to a friend!"
In the center of the hall stood a middle-aged man with a mustache. He was a little thin, but looked very energetic and high-spirited. He seemed to be very familiar with Zooey. After listening to Zooey's introduction, he looked at Lu Zhiyu curiously and said, "Hello, Mr. Anthony. I'm Charlie Andrew. Welcome to my party!"
Lu Zhiyu shook Andrew's hand and said, "It's an honor!"
The entire banquet was very interesting. There was a professional orchestra performing unique performances. Amidst the melodious music, the moonlight shone through the castle's windows, and the castle was brightly lit. There were also men in suits and beautiful women in long dresses. The atmosphere made people feel as though they had traveled back to the classical Middle Ages!
As Lu Zhiyu walked into the hall with Zooey in his arms, Zooey suddenly wanted to tease him. She pulled Lu Zhiyu into a waltz, but Lu Zhiyu danced with Zooey to the music.
Suddenly, all the lights in the hall focused on the two of them. As the music ended, the two of them also ended the dance in a professional pose. The hall was immediately filled with enthusiastic applause!
Zooey's face was a little flushed. She looked at Lu Zhiyu excitedly and said, "I didn't expect you to dance so well. Didn't you just say you didn't know how to dance? Is this the modesty of an Asian?"
Lu Zhiyu had a mysterious expression on his face. Of course, he would not say that it was his first time dancing. However, based on the data of his sub-brain and his strong control of his body, he was as professional as a professional dancer when it came to the details.
After chatting with Lu Zhiyu for a while, Lu Zhiyu said, "I can do it alone. You don't have to accompany me all the time. I can walk around and take a look. I'm also quite curious about this castle and the manor!"
Lu Zhiyu knew that Zooey had a purpose for attending this party. The main purpose was to socialize. She came from a business family, and she was not the only child in the family. Therefore, in order to gain more resources, she had to make more friends. This was also the main reason why this party was held!
Lu Zhiyu walked alone in the long hallway of the castle. He looked at the oil paintings, as well as the introductions of the previous owners of the castle, and the history of the castle. It was very interesting!
"This is my grandfather, a staunch Christian!"
Lu Zhiyu turned around and saw Charlie Andrew. He immediately asked, "Mr. Charlie, do you also believe in God?"
