Attend Rui Luo's birthday party? Considering the current relationship between Maine and Rui Luo, is Uncle Maine crazy to make such an invitation?
Xie Sen knew that Maine valued his uncle very much, so he only complained secretly and asked, "Did you agree?"
Maine nodded: "I can't refuse."
Xie Sen looked at him in surprise. What do you mean you can't refuse?
Maine pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to embarrass my uncle. It was Admiral Kess who gave him the order." Maine's tone was slightly cold when he said this. "Maybe he wants to talk to me about something!"
Xie Sen guessed: "Maybe because they saw you won the league championship and thought you were quite capable, they wanted to take this opportunity to improve their relationship?"
"Maybe," Maine said, "We'll know when we go there tomorrow."
Xie Sen was not very reassured. The person Maine cared about most was his uncle, and the people he had the worst relationship with were his uncle's brother and Rui Luo. If Maine turned evil, it would most likely be related to them.
All these people were at Rui Luo's birthday party, and there were so many possible situations.
"I'll go with you," Xie Sen thought it over and quickly suggested, "Can you take me with you?"
Maine asked, "Do you really want to go?"
Xie Sen nodded affirmatively, and Maine said, "I'll ask my uncle for another invitation."
"No need to be so troublesome. You should be able to bring a dance partner to a party like this, right?" Xie Sen asked.
Maine looked at him and nodded: "Okay."
After the two decided to go to the party together, they once again rented a dress online. Neither of them cared much about Rui Luo's birthday party and didn't put any thought into it. They just went directly to the same clothing rental store and rented the same dress that they wore to Jie and Jin Yao's engagement ceremony.
The next day, Xie Sen went home after get off work, changed into a dress, had dinner with Maine, and then went to Kes's house.
The architectural style of the Kes family is very similar to that of the Yaben family. It is a castle covering a very large area. From the gate, through the corridor to the banquet hall, there are simulated ornamental plants along the way, which is particularly beautiful.
"Oh, dear Maine, I'm so glad to see you." Sokto, wearing a neat black suit, walked up to Maine, opened his arms and hugged him as a warm greeting.
After the greeting ceremony, Sokto took a step back and looked at Xie Sen beside Maine with a little surprise and curiosity: "Won't you introduce this beautiful female to me?"
The standard smile on Xie Sen's lips froze instantly, and he clenched his back teeth, trying his best to hold back the words "You are the female!"
Maine corrected, "This is my friend Xie Sen, he is 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 stretched out his hand and shook his hand, trying to be generous, and laughed: "It's okay."
"There are still twenty minutes before the event officially starts. You can walk around and have something to eat. I have to go and greet the guests."
Maine nodded, and Sokto welcomed another visitor. Xie Sen looked around, pulled Maine, and prepared to stay on the sofa in the corner.
He could already feel the guests around him looking at them from time to time, accompanied by surprised discussions.
The conflict between Maine and Rui Luo had been widely reported not long ago, so it was indeed surprising that Maine appeared at Rui Luo's birthday party at this time.
He had only walked a few steps with Maine when a tall man in a suit of the same color as his walked towards them. Like most of the people here, he had handsome features and held two wine glasses in his hands.
He bent down slightly and handed the wine glass in his right hand to Xie Sen, looking elegant and graceful: "Beautiful young man, can you have a drink with me?"
Maine frowned, glanced at the man coldly, then turned to see Xie Sen's reaction.
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. He did look good now, but he was not used to people describing him as "beautiful".
"Thank you, I don't drink." He politely declined.
Wine is definitely a super luxury here. Serving wine at the banquet shows that the Kes family is indeed very powerful.
The man looked disappointed and shrugged without insisting: "I hope to have the honor of dancing with you later." After he said that, he took a step to the side gracefully and no longer blocked their way.
Xie Sen did not answer. He had never seen the dance of Brandt Star, let alone dance it. Even if he could, he would not dance with strangers.
He pulled Maine, whose brows relaxed at his reaction, and continued to walk towards the corner. After a few steps, he heard the sound of a discussion that was not deliberately suppressed.
"Wow, is this female a fool? She actually refused to let the Qiao family's young master and the Kes family's illegitimate son be together!"
"Could he not know the identity of the Qiao family's young master?"
"I think it's very possible. Maybe Maine thought that by attending the party, he could enter the Kes family smoothly and think that he was holding on to the Kes family's thighs!"
"How can it be so easy to get into the Kes family? He's a bastard! And he has no family to back him up."
"Oh, what a short-sighted female! If she knew the identity of Young Master Qiao and that Maine is not valued by the Kes family, she would regret it to death!"
Xie Sen had been holding Maine'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 are whispering, you should act like you are whispering. Otherwise, just get a loud speaker and let the whole place hear your gossip."
It’s fine if you can’t hear it, but if you do, it will affect your mood.
His voice was quite loud, which immediately attracted many people's attention, and then they followed his gaze to look at the three people in the gossip group.
The three females had never expected that he would loudly mock them. The looks from all around made them blush. One of the boys with light gray hair glared at him angrily: "What does it have to do with you what we say? Did we say something wrong?"
"Of course I'm wrong!" Xie Sen pointed at himself. "First of all, I'm a male. Secondly, you mentioned me, so of course it's related to me. Does it mean that my mention of you has nothing to do with you?"
The three looked at him in surprise; they could never have imagined that he would be a male.
The light gray boy was surprised and then laughed: "How can you be considered a male like this? You might as well call yourself a pseudo-female!"
Xie Sen instantly translated his words: pseudo-female = sissy.
Xie Sen's face immediately turned dark, his masculinity was questioned!
He pointed at the boy and said, "You superficial female who judges people by appearance. Find a male you think is strong and let him compete with me. If I win, you apologize to me! And you have to say ten times that I am a male!"
The boy was stunned. He never expected Xie Sen to react like this. The people around him also looked at Xie Sen in surprise. Is he so confident?
The boy looked at Xie Sen's small body and said, "What if you lose?"
Xie Sen gritted his teeth: "I will apologize to you and admit what you said."
"And you have to apologize to my friend!" said the boy.
"Okay." Xie Sen agreed immediately. Even if he had to use up all his energy at once and have it rain super potatoes mixed with chili powder, he would still win!
The boy opened his bracelet and said, "Brother, someone is bullying me, come here!"
Xie Sen was speechless: "Stop talking nonsense. You were the one who mocked me. How did I bully you? I issued the challenge openly and honestly. So many people are watching!"
The boy snorted and looked towards the door. Not long after, a tall and strong man in a black suit walked in. The boy immediately waved in that direction.
The man in the black suit walked up to the boy, and the boy immediately pointed at Xie Sen and said, "Brother, he wants to challenge you."
The man looked at Xie Sen with a surprised look: "What's going on?"
Xie Sen explained the situation again: "Let's find an open space and spar!"
The man patted his brother's head and said, "Stop fooling around. Apologize to him." He smiled at Xie Sen and said, "Sorry, we are in the wrong in this matter. I will admit defeat. Why don't you leave me your contact information and I will treat you to a meal sometime to make amends?"
"Brother, I asked you to teach him a lesson, not to seduce him!" The boy covered the back of his head, looking unhappy.
Xie Sen's mouth twitched, Maine looked at the man unkindly, and there was a lot of laughter around them.
"Apologize," the man said sternly, looking down at his brother, "You were in the wrong in the first place. Gossiping about others and making sarcastic remarks, where are your manners?"
The boy bit his lip aggrievedly. Being stared at by him, he angrily said to Xie Sen: "I'm sorry."
Xie Sen was like a deflated balloon at this moment. He had originally wanted to have a good fight to clear his name, but the way things developed was completely beyond his expectations. He just felt helpless and miserable.
He waved his hands to indicate that it was okay and he was too lazy to care about it.
He pulled Maine to the corner, and the man followed, holding out his bracelet: "I'm really sorry, give me a chance to make amends."
Xie Sen watched speechlessly as this man used the same tricks his roommates used to pick up girls against him. He didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. He shook his head and said, "Your brother has already apologized. You're welcome."
The man was about to say something, but Maine pulled Xie Sen's arm and moved him to another position. He stood between Xie Sen and the man and looked at the man coldly: "Your brother ran away in anger. Maybe you should go and persuade him."
The man looked back and saw that his brother was no longer there. He looked at Maine, and lightning seemed to ignite where their eyes met.
After a moment, the man smiled with a relaxed expression and said, "It's useless to guard it. You can't guard it."
Maine's face suddenly darkened. The man smiled at Xie Sen, said goodbye to him gently, turned around and left to chase his angry brother.
Xie Sen rolled his eyes at the man's back, thinking that they were impure relationships, and everyone he saw was impure. He and Maine were close friends, and they were talking so ambiguously!
He tugged at Maine's sleeve: "Don't be angry, he was just talking nonsense."
Maine looked at him, and Xie Sen smiled brightly: "Don't be angry with strangers. Let's go sit in the corner for a while and try the food here."
However, after he had walked a few steps, someone else came over and showed him great courtesy.
Xie Sen dismissed three people in succession before he and Maine finally sat on the sofa in the corner. He supported his chin with his hand, puzzled, and pinched his face: "My appearance has changed, am I more beautiful than you?"
Is it to the point where it makes people's heart move just by looking at it?
Maine shook his head: "No."
Xie Sen was puzzled: "Why is it so abnormal today?"
Maine murmured softly: "Maybe..."
What? "Xie Sen didn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer and said, "Maybe what?"
Maine looked at him, then turned his head to look around and whispered, "Go back and tell them that the Kes family must have surveillance cameras everywhere to ensure the safety of their guests."
Xie Sen was even more surprised. What great thing could he say that required avoiding 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 were warm and covered with calluses. Although the owner of the hands was very young, Xie Sen felt very relieved.
He turned his head and just then the lights on the podium in the banquet hall were turned on. The light radiating to the corners was not very bright, but it was enough to see people clearly. He and Maine's eyes met.
Xie Sen always felt that Maine's gaze was different from usual, which made him inexplicably nervous.
"Welcome everyone..."
The gloomy and halting opening remarks brought Xie Sen back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the podium to cover up, and noticed that Maine's eyes had not moved away from him. He wanted to ask why he was looking at him, but felt inexplicably embarrassed.
After the welcome speech, there was an instrumental performance by Rui Luo. However, after a few days, he looked thinner and pale, which made it easy for people to feel pity for him with his delicate face.
His performance won warm applause. He gave a speech of thanks with a sincere tone but a weak voice. He was very humble and well-mannered, which won him a lot of praise.
The lights in the hall came on again, but they were dimmer than before. Music started playing and many people began dancing in pairs.
Xie Sen watched others dancing with curiosity. The dance here was very vigorous, somewhat like the rumba, but not so lingering. It was very passionate and unrestrained, and the atmosphere soon became heated.
Maine put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Want to dance?"
Xie Sen quickly shook his head and said honestly: "I can't."
"I can teach you." Maine said.
Xie Sen looked up and saw a couple facing each other closely. The male placed his palms on the female's shoulders and then slid down to her waist, while the female's right foot hooked the male's left leg and moved gradually upwards from the ankle.
Hot and ambiguous.
He quickly retracted his eyes, his face flushed as he said vaguely: "No, no, my hands and feet are not coordinated, and I am not suitable for dancing."
"Really?" Maine chuckled.
Xie Sen coughed lightly and nodded seriously.
"Brother," Rui Luo came over and called out affectionately. Unlike his voice, his face didn't look good, with a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that his acting skills were not strong enough. However, his back was facing the hall, so the others couldn't 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 guy was not an actor, otherwise he would have pissed off the director to death.
Maine looked at him coldly, not giving him any face and directly exposed him: "If your expression was in sync with your voice, I might believe your sincerity."
Rui Luo's expression froze, and he sat opposite them: "Brother, you misunderstood. I just..." He coughed lightly, "I haven't recovered from my previous injury yet."
"I'm sorry, brother. I was too ignorant before. Please forgive me." He said, placing his hands on his knees and clenching his fists.
Maine looked away and ignored him.
Xie Sen burst out laughing. Rui Luo glared at him, but soon changed his expression to a gentle one: "You're here too, that's great."
He picked up a pile of dried meat and said, "Try it. It's delicious."
Xie Sen waved his hand: "I don't want to eat now."
Rui Luo stood up and sat next to Xie Sen, and asked eagerly: "So what do you like to do? Racing or shopping? Or traveling to an alien planet? Is there any place you want to go? I'll treat you to it."
Xie Sen moved towards Maine and looked at him strangely: "What do you want to do?"
"You are my brother's friend, and you are my friend." He looked at Maine's ugly face and finally smiled unforcedly. "I like you and want to play with you."
Maine stared at him coldly: "He won't play with you."
Rui Luo chuckled and suddenly reached out to lift Xie Sen's collar, but was slapped away by Maine.
Rui Luo covered the back of his hand and glared at him fiercely, then looked at Xie Sen and smiled, "Is this dress rented? I can buy it for you, and I can also give you a few more. You have a hard time working at Gold Medal, I can help you find a job that is easier and pays better."
"No thanks." Xie Sen was speechless. Did he want to support him? He was a man, did he need someone to support him? Who was he looking down on?
"I'm so happy to see you two brothers having such a pleasant conversation." Sokto came over, looking touched.
Xie Sen pursed his lips and told lies with his eyes open!
He said to Maine, "Come with me, Admiral Kes wants to see you."
Maine frowned subconsciously, but he had already prepared himself mentally. Some things had to be made clear. He stood up and asked, "Can my friend go with me?"
Sokto spread his hands helplessly: "I think the admiral does not want other people to watch his meeting with you. Don't worry, Rui Luo will take care of him."
Maine became even more worried and said to Xie Sen, "I will be back soon, just stay here and don't leave."
Xie Sen answered, thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the admiral?"
"Study." Sokto pointed to a house behind the banquet hall.
Xie Sen glanced over there, not far away, and said to Maine, "Contact me if you have anything."
"The same to you."
Sokto laughed and patted Maine on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, there is no man-eating monster. You young people just like to imagine things. So many guests have seen you tonight. No one will hurt you."
Maine and Xie Sen looked at each other and followed Sokto away.
Rui Luo picked up a pile of jerky again: "Maine is not here, you can try it, right? This is really delicious."
"I don't want to eat." Xie Sen sat opposite him and distanced himself from him. "Maine is not here, so you don't have to act anymore. Did you deliberately use me to anger Maine just now?"
"How could that be?" Rui Luo said with a smile, "I really like you. I don't understand why you insist on following Maine. He has nothing, and I..."
Xie Sen raised his hand to stop him from saying the next thing: "Maine and I are friends because of who he is, not because of what he has. As for you, I am not interested in you at all."
"You!" Rui Luo sneered, "He? You are eighteen years old, right? I never thought that an adult would be stupid because of his appearance."
Rui Luo said: "You don't understand him at all. He is a demon. He was born wrong. He is an ominous person."
Xie Sen frowned: "Are you out of your mind? Interstellar kid, what nonsense are you talking about?" If they continued talking, would they still talk about the ancient curse?
"I'm not talking nonsense," Rui Luo said firmly, "You don't know him, you don't know, his father ..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped. Xie Sen was stunned. He had never heard Maine mention his father. On the Brandt Star, a father is equivalent to a mother.
"What happened to his father?" Xie Sen asked nervously.
Rui Luo studied his expression and said, "You want to know? Let's go to the backyard and play. Someone is setting off fireworks. It's beautiful. You have a prejudice against me. I think playing together can help you change your impression of me."
Xie Sen pouted: "You can say it or not. If you don't want to go, I'll stay here."
Rui Luo whispered to himself: "I am 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 sitting posture, slid down, leaned against the back of the sofa to make himself more comfortable, opened his bracelet and casually browsed the news.
Rui Luo was silent for a while, and then tried to find something to say: "Have you ever been to ..."
He asked a bunch of questions. Xie Sen looked at him at first, but later he didn't even raise his head. All he could hear was Rui Luo talking about where the scenery was beautiful, where the food was delicious, and how much money he spent on buying this and that.
After listening for a while, Xie Sen realized that this was not a promotion of a tourist destination, it was simply a show of wealth!
"Hey, I've said so much, don't you have any ideas? Don't follow Maine, stay with me, and I will give you everything I have." Rui Luo tempted.
Xie Sen was too tired to complain. We were just being friends, why did it sound so wrong?
Rui Luo searched for all the topics he could talk about, but Xie Sen didn't respond at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "Weren't you interested in Maine's father just now?"
Xie Sen subconsciously raised his head, but quickly stopped himself halfway. If he showed much interest, Rui Luo might propose conditions again. He lowered his head to read the news, pretending not to be interested, and pricked up his ears quietly.
Rui Luo sneered, "I told you that Maine is ominous. You will be unlucky if you are with him. He is like a fool. He thought his father died in a car accident. In fact, he committed suicide because of him!"
"What did you say?" Two voices came from Rui Luo at the same time, one after the other.
As Xie Sen asked this question, he suddenly looked up and saw the owner of the other voice - Maine.
Maine stood behind the sofa where Rui Luo was sitting, his face sinister and his eyes dark. He took two steps forward and grabbed Rui Luo by the back of his collar. His strength was so great that veins bulged on the back of his hand: "Say it again!"
Rui Luo's neck was strangled by the collar, and his face immediately turned red. He tried to pry his hand away, coughing violently: "Let me go!"
Xie Sen was startled and stood up quickly: "Maine!"
Maine seemed to be unable to hear his voice. He stared at Rui Luo with his eyes fixed on her. His voice was extremely cold: "Say what you just said again!"
Rui Luo shuddered, his body shook, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Devil." As he said that, he quickly unbuttoned his clothes, turned around and raised his hand to hit Maine. Maine took a step back, and he took the opportunity to take off his clothes.
"So what if I said it? You are the one who is stupid!" Rui Luo sneered.
Maine's eyes turned red. He rushed forward, easily jumped over the sofa with his hands, and grabbed Rui Luo's neck with his right hand and pressed him onto the sofa: "You forced him to do that, didn't you?"
Although the man in my memory was very timid, he was full of passion for life and would never commit suicide for no reason.
Rui Luo's face turned pale and he was completely speechless.
Xie Sen was stunned. With Maine's strength, he had no doubt that Rui Luo's neck would be broken by him in the next second. He reached out and grabbed Maine's left arm: "Don't be impulsive!"
If Maine kills Rui Luo here, even if there are good reasons, the consequences for him will definitely be disastrous.
Just as he finished his words, a two-meter-tall gray wolf suddenly appeared in the living room. It howled, then leaped into the air and pounced towards Maine.
Xie Sen's eyes widened immediately, and before he could react, Maine pushed him to the left. He fell to the ground, and without even bothering to get up, he looked in Maine's direction.
Maine dodged to the right. After the gray wolf landed, it continued to attack him and hit his shoulder with a claw. With Maine's skills, he could easily avoid it, but he didn't and just stared at the gray wolf.
"Riluo, how are you?" Sokto followed closely behind the gray wolf, picked up Ruiluo who was lying on the sofa, and shouted anxiously without even looking at Maine.
The light on Maine's body seemed to disappear in an instant, leaving only endless darkness. He looked at the gray wolf, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he uttered a short sound: "Heh."
It is true, it is all fake, everything is fake! They are all liars! Hypocrisy, disgusting!
He knew it, he knew it! As a top student in the Department of Information, how could he not know that there were doubts in Sokto's words? But Sokto's words were so nice, and they touched upon his deepest desire.
Maybe if you believe it, it will be true.
The sound Maine made was obviously very light, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Xie Sen's heart. Xie Sen was instantly heartbroken. He was about to call Maine when a voice came from the side.
"Are you okay?" The young master of the Qiao family stood beside him at some point, bent down and offered his hand to support him, asking with concern.
Xie Sen then realized that he was still sitting on the ground, and quickly got up, looking up politely and thanking him: "Thank you."
Maine's eyes moved. No, he still had hope, a tiny bit of hope. He looked in the direction of Xie Sen—the elegant man embraced Xie Sen, and Xie Sen looked up and spoke to him with a smile.
"Hahaha……"
Maine suddenly burst into laughter, and there was a lot of mockery in his laughter, all directed at himself. As he laughed, he suddenly shouted, his voice was shrill and frightening, and he glanced at Sokto and Ruiluo with a cold look, then turned and ran out.
"Maine!" Xie Sen shouted anxiously and tried to catch up.
The Qiao family's young master grabbed his arm and said, "You have a scratch here. You should see a doctor."
Xie Sen was so anxious that he slapped his hand away and ran towards Maine without saying a word.
The blood on Maine's shoulder had flowed all over his body, and his crazy look at the moment made him particularly scary. The guests quickly made way for him. He was very fast and was out of the banquet hall in no time.
Xie Sen was not as fast as him, and as he was running, a man stopped him: "Don't chase him, he is very dangerous now and will hurt you."
Xie Sen glared at him fiercely and pushed him away: "Get lost!"
