Ruan Xi looked at the huge crowd in front of him and felt a little dizzy. He turned to look at Zhu Xinhua beside him, somewhat at a loss, "What are you doing?"
Damn it, he has never seen such an occasion in his life. What should he do?
"This is the celebration party we held for you. How about it, is it okay? Is it grand enough? You are my sworn brother, which means you are my parents' biological son. My son has achieved such good results in the exam, so how can the celebration party not be grand!" Zhu Xinhua patted his chest with a proud and self-righteous expression, which made Ruan Xi feel numb.
Are these people crazy? They're just trying to get a perfect score on a test, so why are they trying to create a national victory? Isn't that a bit too much of a waste of money? Even if they have the money, they can't do this...
Ruan Xi simply didn't know how to evaluate this family, but he could truly feel that the kindness shown to him by the Zhu family was absolutely pure and without a trace of utilitarianism. Zhu's parents didn't even think of asking him to help their good-for-nothing sons with their lessons, they just wanted to share in his academic success.
How can I get this? Can I learn well just by getting it? The right way is to study hard on my own!
Ruan Xi was about to roar in his heart, but in front of everyone, he could do nothing and could only sigh silently in his heart.
Then, he bowed slightly to everyone and said, "Thank you."
What else could he say besides thank you? Oh... my head hurts...
Ruan Xi was completely unused to such occasions. If he had been left to deal with the guests on his own, he would have been frozen in place. However, he was always accompanied by the Zhu family, especially Zhu Xinhua, who was like a constant bodyguard. Ruan Xi only needed to smile and nod from time to time, and Zhu Xinhua would handle the situation for him. After just a few moments of watching, Ruan Xi had a completely new understanding of Zhu Xinhua.
This idiot is indeed a good businessman. His communication skills are definitely better than his parents and brother. He is definitely better than his parents.
But if you can't adapt, you can't adapt. Ruan Xi really doesn't like this kind of environment. She feels like she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet. She feels extremely uncomfortable.
Ruan Xi tried hard not to sigh out loud, and laughed awkwardly beside Zhu Xinhua for a while. He was just planning to find an opportunity to hide in the garden outside when Zhu Xinhua suddenly grabbed him.
"Let's go, I'll take you outside to get some fresh air." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xinhua had already pulled Ruan Xi outside.
Ruan Xi was unable to react for a moment and was dragged out of the banquet hall by Zhu Xinhua.
As soon as Ruan Xi stepped out of the door of the banquet hall, he immediately felt his breathing become smoother. He took a deep breath in an exaggerated manner and was completely absorbed in it for a moment, until he heard a chuckle and Zhu Xinhua's teasing voice beside him.
"Why is it so exaggerated? It's just a banquet." Obviously, Zhu Xinhua was accustomed to such grand banquets, but Ruan Xi was not!
"It's not an exaggeration at all. This is my first time attending such a grand banquet. It's not that I'm nervous, but I'm not used to it. Every muscle in my body has become stiff!" Ruan Xi is not a person who likes to complain. He even dislikes complaining. However, when he looked at Zhu Xinhua, he didn't know why, but the words of complaint just blurted out, and he felt a lot better after saying it.
Ruan Xi didn't understand. The Zhu family took only two days to prepare for such a grand banquet. Could he have remembered the time wrong and actually stayed in the Zhu family for two weeks?
Looking at Ruan Xi's helpless and headache expression, Zhu Xinhua couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a long time before stopping. Ruan Xi saw the tears flashing in the corners of his eyes and was speechless.
"Is it so funny?" Ruan Xi had to admit that Zhu Xinhua was a bit silly, but his stupidity was always within the range that others could tolerate. For example, as long as his emotions fluctuated a little more violently, Zhu Xinhua's disturbance would be adjusted and he would never let him lose control of his emotions.
This kind of thing is not something that anyone can do, but Zhu Xinhua can handle it with ease, and it is impossible not to admire him.
"It's just so-so, haha...Okay, you stroll around the garden for a while to relax. I'll come find you later and take you to eat something. Don't worry, it's very safe here and you can walk around freely." Zhu Xinhua patted Ruan Xi's shoulder, turned around and walked back to the banquet hall without saying anything else.
Watching Zhu Xinhua's figure disappear at the door of the banquet hall, Ruan Xi breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, if he continued to stay inside, he really couldn't hold it anymore.
"Huh..."
As Ruan Xi relaxed, his muscles also relaxed and he felt much more comfortable. At this moment, someone patted Ruan Xi's shoulder gently, and then a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Hi."
Ruan Xi: “…Hi.”
In fact, he wanted to say, Hey your sister, don’t you know that scaring people can be fatal? Damn it, he is most afraid of people tapping his shoulders from behind, he is easily scared!
Ruan Xi openly patted his chest, breathing heavily, and turned around, glaring at the man behind him. "Don't you know that being patted on the back is scary?"
There were many such scenes in various horror movies in his previous life, but his grandmother loved to watch them. She would drag him to watch them every time, and he couldn't help but shed tears for himself.
His grandmother is good in every way except that she likes to watch horror movies, which is not so good.
The person who patted Ruan Xi's shoulder from behind was He Ziqian. He looked a little darker than before, but still looked so charming and manly, which made Ruan Xi a little envious.
Whether in his past life or this life, his small body was destined to not produce much masculinity, but it was easy for him to develop a milky smell because he loved drinking milk in both his lives. When he was on Funong Star, He Ziqian once said that he had a faint milky scent on his body.
Is this why we have to make him give up milk? That's absolutely impossible. As for beverages, this is his only hobby and he is determined not to change it.
"Why are you here? Another mission?" Ruan Xi lowered his voice when he said the latter part, and subconsciously looked around to avoid being eavesdropped by others and affecting He Ziqian's mission.
"Well, congratulations, you got full marks in the joint exam, which is unique in the entire Yinyu Empire. You are amazing." He Ziqian really admired and praised Ruan Xi, especially since he knew how weak Ruan Xi's foundation was before, which was almost close to zero. Today's results only proved one thing - Ruan Xi is a true genius.
"Thank you. If it weren't for the help of your comrades, I wouldn't be able to leave Funong Star, and there would be no way I could come to Anhe Star to take the exam." Ruan Xi spoke honestly, and He Ziqian felt relieved to hear it.
He likes honest people.
"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
"It's a small matter for you, but it's a big deal for me. Thank you so much."
"Okay, then I'll accept this thank you." He Ziqian did not refuse anymore. After accepting the gratitude, he changed the subject, "With your grades, you will definitely be admitted to Didu University. Do you want to go there by yourself, or do you plan to accept financial support from the Zhu family?" From the perspective of others, the Zhu family must have some ulterior motives for being so good to Ruan Xi, but He Ziqian could see that the way the Zhu family looked at Ruan Xi did not show any sense of exploitation. Perhaps, they really liked the academic master.
"Funding? No need. I can afford to go to school myself." Ruan Xi hadn't considered that possibility at all. Zhu Xinhua was a friend, and the rest of the Zhu family was his family. He was willing to give them a certain degree of trust and intimacy, but he couldn't truly consider himself a member of the Zhu family. He accepted the plant samples collected from the primitive planet provided by the Zhu family, but he would also give a corresponding reward. After all, the discovery of new species often brings huge economic benefits. This deal would definitely be a good deal for the Zhu family.
Of course, Ruan Xi did not suffer any loss either. The Zhu family gave him all these plant samples, and he collected them without hesitation.
"I believe you can do it. I will be leaving Anhe Star soon. I hope we can meet on Didu Star in the near future." He Ziqian really hoped so, but Ruan Xi was not very happy.
He Ziqian was definitely not a simple person. People who were not simple would often have more troubles. He just wanted to study medicine peacefully and didn't want to be involved in such troubles at all. So, he nodded calmly and agreed. In fact, he had already decided in his heart that when he went to the Imperial Capital Star in the future, he would avoid contact with He Ziqian as much as possible. It would be best if they met without knowing each other.
If He Ziqian knew what Ruan Xi was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would laugh. It was obvious that she was being disliked!
"Thank you." Ruan Xi still simply said "thank you". In the end, the two of them didn't chat much. When He Ziqian heard someone approaching, he immediately tensed up.
"I'm leaving, take care." As soon as he finished speaking, He Ziqian's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant. Ruan Xi couldn't even see which direction he left, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
He is indeed a powerful person and he can escape quickly.
"Ruan Xi, are you feeling better? Let's go in and have something to eat." The person who came was Zhu Xinhua. He was still worried that Ruan Xi hadn't had dinner yet, so he took her arm and walked her inside, while chattering to Ruan Xi about what kind of food was in the buffet area. The names were so strange that Ruan Xi felt a little dizzy.
It’s better to keep the food names simple.
Did He Ziqian leave already? I wonder if he had eaten...
Ruan Xi thought of He Ziqian unconsciously, but she didn't realize anything after thinking about it. She just glanced at the crowd from time to time to see if she could find that familiar figure.
I don't know why. Although he had already decided that it would be best if they didn't know each other in the future, he inexplicably cared about He Ziqian.
Could it be that she envied He Ziqian's masculinity?
