Chapter 105

There are many kinds of beauty.

Some are calm and reserved, upright and heroic; some are gentle and elegant, like a handful of water that needs to be savored carefully; and some are pure and beautiful, elegant and outstanding, making people forget the world.

In the interstellar age, with advanced technology, there is no shortage of beauties.

Even so, when young people appear, that kind of absolute and dazzling beauty almost tears people's reason, forcibly engraves it into their minds, leaving a deep impression. When

the nobles attend important banquets, there will be special stylists to match and style their hair for them.

He was wearing a white silk shirt with dark patterns, which reflected a cold light. A black belt showed off his thin waistline. His strong long legs were wrapped in black straight pants, which ended at the ankles, revealing a small part of his ankles.

His golden eyes were reserved and cold, and his expression was arrogant, as if he was a god descending, looking down on everyone equally.

His beauty was like the bright red mushrooms in the jungle; the leopards hunting in the tropical rainforest; the colorful venomous snakes... Although I knew it was dangerous, I couldn't help but be attracted to him.

After a short silence, the dinner suddenly became lively.

"Hello, Mr. Xia."

Grover looked at a handsome young man who was neutral before and approached Xia Yan, talking to him enthusiastically: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still as dazzling as ever."

The young man raised his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Mr. Gran."

"The banquet tonight is really lively. Would you like some champagne?" Gran smiled and chatted, "It's brewed with local specialty gemstone grapes. It has a round taste and rich aroma. It has a unique flavor."

"Oh my God! Gran, you are like a wine salesman now." Before Xia Yan could answer, a young and handsome nobleman appeared next to him and mocked him mercilessly.

Gran's face suddenly sank: "You are really as annoying as ever."

The atmosphere between the two was tense.

Xia Yan, who was surrounded in the middle, seemed calm and indifferent, but he was actually confused. He had no idea why these two people quarreled beside him.

After searching the original owner's memory, they were not familiar with each other!

Xia Yan was very distressed.

The other guests at the banquet were hesitant about whether to strike up a conversation because of their respective positions. When they saw someone take the lead, they also flocked over.

The circle of upper-class nobles is not large, and everyone has met more or less.

"Mr. Xia, I'm Anna Berum. My father took me to your manor when I was a child. Do you still remember it?"

"I often go to X29 to buy gems. If you want to relax, I'd be happy to be your tour guide."

"...I'm deeply sorry about the Central Military Academy."

"The law enforcement team is so disappointing. They made such a low-level mistake."

...

Xia Yan: "…………"

It's so noisy!!!

It's like there are ten thousand ducks chattering in my ears, and I can't hear what they are saying at all. Although he was at an elegant dinner, he had the illusion that he was in a nightclub bar.

He asked the system in a daze; [...Is the original owner so popular? ]

999 hesitated and said: [Probably...right? 】

【……】

The system tried hard to analyze: [You see... the original owner has a high status and is the most likely person to inherit the throne. It should be normal for him to please you in advance. ]

The more the system talked, the more confident its voice became.

Xia Yan was convinced by it.

Although in the vague memories he received, the original owner was not so popular, but now is different from the past. This is his first time to attend a banquet after being awarded the surname Gardner, and the meaning is naturally different.

Fortunately, the original owner's character is simple, he just needs to stand there with a cold face.

Grover, who was completely ignored: "..."

The neutral party all swarmed over. How could those who supported the Xia family lose to them? Everyone naturally gathered around. Among them, the most respected was Rob Ivan, one of the Duke Xia's confidants.

He is a civilian sponsored by the Xia family. He is 103 years old this year. He is in his prime according to the average life expectancy of the stars. He has fought on the border for several decades and has now been promoted to major general.

The original owner was often taken out to play by him when she was a child. The relationship between the two is more like family than master and servant.

"Xiao Yan."

"Uncle Rob." The young man, who has always been arrogant, suddenly showed a soft smile, which was particularly moving. He took the initiative to bring up the topic, "I didn't expect you to attend this banquet."

"The border is fine for the time being, I came to join in the fun."

The man responded lightly, without mentioning that he had finished his official duties overnight and came here specially because he was worried about Xia Yan. The child who grew up under his eyes and was held in his heart, no matter how he protected him, it would not be excessive.

The atmosphere between them was relaxed and joyful, comfortable and natural, with a tacit understanding that others could not interrupt.

After a few simple sentences, Rob glanced around implicitly and said, "The Star Lord is receiving guests and it will take some time for him to come. Do you want to go to the rest area to sit for a while?"

Xia Yan was already annoyed by a group of people chattering around him, and he nodded immediately: "Okay."

"Then I'll go too--"

Except for a few words to the young man at the beginning, Gran didn't find a chance afterwards. Now that he saw the young man was about to leave, he was inexplicably a little anxious and wanted to follow him.

Who knew that before he finished speaking, he saw the young man glanced at him.

That glance was not sharp, but light, but it contained the right amount of alienation of the nobles. He said: "Mr. Gran, given your position, it is not appropriate for you to participate in our conversation."

Position? What position?

Gran was stunned for a moment, and after several seconds, his rusty brain suddenly reacted... His family was not a supporter of the Xia family, and they could become enemies at any time.

His lips and tongue were stiff, and he could not say anything to refute.

The others also quieted down until the young man's back disappeared. When they looked at each other, they all felt a bit embarrassed, similar to the embarrassment of a dog being ignored by a male god.

With their status and position, they have seen countless beauties.

At this time, they were still sad about Xia Yan's departure.

If... just if... if they support the Xia family, can they also be treated specially by the young man like Rob Irwin?

No, no, no! Important decisions about the future of the family cannot be made so hastily.

But I really want to...

Everyone sighed and looked a little worried.

Grover, one of the heirs to the throne and a strong competitor of Xia Yan, was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

Everyone looked at him dimly: "..."

Grover: "???" Are you sick?

Second floor.

Edward Bruner is 235 years old this year. He has been the star lord of HHX29 for hundreds of years. This planet has developed rapidly in his hands and eventually became a gem town that is well-known throughout the empire.

He is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His features are regular and he has a simple and honest temperament. You can't tell that he is a calculating person.

Opposite him, there is a handsome young man.

The man has small chestnut curls, inconspicuous brown eyes, and a delicate face without any characteristics. He is like a finished product from a beauty salon. If you don't pay attention, you will forget what he looks like.

This person is Ide Hain, who is hiding his identity.

To be honest, he is very distressed now.

He participated in this auction to relax because of "broken heart". As soon as he landed and before he arrived at the hotel, he heard from his subordinates that Xia Yan also came to this planet.

And they are in the same hotel.

Ide: "..."

In order to maintain the fragile love in the holographic world, Ide found someone to change hotels on the spot. It took a lot of effort to successfully get two rooms. I thought the matter ended here, but who knew... Xia Yan was also one of the invited guests.

What kind of insane fate is this?

Does God want him to be heartbroken?

Or... run away now? Ian was so confused and his brain was in a mess that he didn't want to listen to the Star Lord's words. When he reacted, he was already standing on the spiral staircase.

Ian: "..."

Edward saw him stop: "What's wrong?"

The banquet was already very lively, with familiar people gathered together to exchange information, and among them... there was a person who was his boyfriend in the holographic world.

According to the information revealed by Edward, Xia Yan will also participate in the final auction, suspected to be for his vest - the mysterious mecha master D.

Unless he leaves now, they will meet sooner or later.

At this point, there is no point in escaping.

Why not... go and take a look secretly?

Ian's mind moved, and he refused to go out with Edward. While everyone's attention was on him, he quietly walked into the banquet hall from the side path.

He looked around, thinking that it would take a long time to find Xia Yan. But in fact, he only needed a back view to instantly lock him.

"..."

Ian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the whole person became inexplicably nervous.

He approached the young man step by step and carefully. The closer he got, the more tense he became, as if he was carrying out a dangerous mission, and all his attention was focused on the young man.

Perhaps his eyes were too hot, and the young man seemed to have sensed something and turned around, looking straight at him with his golden eyes .
