But the students present were different; they came from wealthy and influential families and were long-time members of these high-end luxury brands, who were eager to send them gowns.
Susie's dress was black, simple yet luxurious, highlighting her figure while exuding a confident, princess-like aura.
Nono wore a pale yellow long dress that perfectly complemented her dark red hair. She simply stood beside Lin Chen, yet she seemed to radiate an extraordinary aura.
Standing in the audience was Lu Mingfei, dressed in an ill-fitting suit. He stared blankly at Nuonuo for a while, but was snapped out of his daze by a slap from Fingel next to him.
Fingel was Lin Chen's henchman, and Lu Mingfei also served as Lin Chen's subordinate. Over time, the two became quite familiar with each other.
Fingel patted Lu Mingfei's head: "You're so bold! Are you dreaming?"
"No way," Lu Mingfei scratched her head and protested, "I just think that outfit is really nice!"
"Come on, you've been staring at her for ages!"
Lu Mingfei panicked a little: "You can take medicine however you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Senior Sister Nuonuo is the sister-in-law! Even if you gave me a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to covet Senior Lin Chen's sister-in-law! Besides, there are so many girls in the Lionheart Club, and there are trees everywhere in the forest!"
Fingel stroked his chin: "From what you're saying, is there some new target?"
Lu Mingfei chuckled: "I don't have a specific target, but there's a freshman in my year, a really pretty girl from Taiwan. I happen to have the chance today, and I'd like to ask her to dance with me!"
Fingel raised an eyebrow: "Not bad, Lu Mingfei. You've learned a lot from the president!"
"I just wanted to dance with them." Lu Mingfei pointed to the small symphony orchestra on the second floor. "Look, look, look, that's the one playing the violin!"
Following Lu Mingfei's gaze, the girl with light golden hair was wearing a silver dress inlaid with crystals. Her skin was so fair that it was almost transparent. Although she was petite, the dress still looked beautiful on her.
Fingel couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "She's so beautiful! Is her name Zero?"
Lu Mingfei asked in surprise, "How did you know? Do you know them?"
Fingel shrugged: "I don't know you, but you've forgotten who I am. I'm the head of the college's news department. There's very little news in this college that I don't know."
"Zero...is on the news too?"
"Pretty much." Fingel nodded. "Have you heard that Zero is one of Lin Chen's rumored girlfriends?"
"how is this possible?"
"Lionheart Club has a tradition of seniors mentoring juniors. Chu Zihang mentored you, and Lin Chen mentored Ling. Our news department's paparazzi—I mean, reporters—took photos of them training together, so some rumors are circulating on the discussion forum!"
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened: "Isn't this just jumping to conclusions? We're just training together. Besides, Vice President Chu Zihang and I train together too, right? Does that mean we're going to have a scandal too?"
Looking into Lu Mingfei's eyes, Fingel revealed the unbelievable fact to Lu Mingfei: "Yes, and your pairing is even more popular than Lin Chen and Ling's. Your pairing video has over five thousand shares, comments, and likes in the discussion area. Even Professor Manstein accidentally liked this video."
"Holy crap!" Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Are you sure it's me and Senior Chu Zihang?"
Fingel shrugged: "Lin Chen is already outstanding, so it's not surprising that he has beautiful girls around him. But you and Chu Zihang are quite interesting. A useless junior paired with a cold senior, this combination is incredibly popular in the college's yaoi fandom!"
“I… damn it!” Lu Mingfei exclaimed in shock.
Fingel patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "Calm down, at least on another level, you're famous."
Lu Mingfei shook her head: "Since things have come to this, I have to clarify things quickly. I'll go dance with Ling later, so everyone will know that Lu Mingfei's orientation is normal. Yes, that's what I'll do! I'm going to find Ling now!"
“Hey…” Fingel quickly reminded him, “What I mean is, dance partners for these kinds of parties are usually arranged in advance. Isn’t it a bit late for you to go and invite them now?”
Lu Mingfei had already squeezed towards Zero. The ball was crowded and noisy, and Lu Mingfei did not hear Fingel's words.
His face was filled with piety as he blinked at Zero. This was a battle with no way out, and Lu Mingfei felt full of confidence.
Having trained together at the Lionheart Club, Lu Mingfei and Zero had spoken a few times. Although they weren't particularly close, they could at least be considered friends. Lu Mingfei felt that her invitation would definitely not be rejected.
As the piece ended, Zero played the last long note, finally finishing his accompaniment, turned around, placed the violin on the chair, and prepared to go downstairs.
The music continued, the dance never stopped, and the well-trained second violinist took her place.
Ling, wearing silver high heels, stood tall and graceful like a princess in a fairy tale. Her petite figure looked elegant and charming, but the expression on her face remained as cold as ice.
Ling slowly raised her arms and began to dance, performing a ballet move that was as beautiful as a swan.
She stepped onto the dance floor and began to dance a standard tango.
According to the rules of the ball, she was looking for her dance partner.
But the people around her involuntarily made way for her; Zero's dazzling presence made them feel ashamed and they didn't even dare to invite her to dance.
Ling danced towards Lu Mingfei, who felt so happy she was about to faint.
I thought I would have to invite him myself, but Zero came on his own initiative.
Lu Mingfei excitedly leaned closer to Ling, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. He almost burst out laughing, but he got into position to welcome Ling and dance with her!
Under Lu Mingfei's eager gaze, Zero suddenly turned and walked past her!
139: A Dance of the Century! The Dragons Invade!
Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. He turned his head to look at Ling in surprise, thinking that Ling had gone to the wrong place.
"Hey—" Lu Mingfei greeted him blankly, "I'm here..."
Lu Mingfei stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking; he saw Ling rushing to the location.
Lin Chen, dressed in a suit, was standing there, and Zero was heading towards him.
Zero struck Lin Chen, and the dance music reached its climax.
Lin Chen smiled at Ling: "You jumped really well!"
A hint of joy appeared on Zero's usually indifferent face; it was almost unnoticed unless you were staring at her.
Lin Chen and Ling followed the accompaniment at the same time, dancing like dance partners who had been working together for many years.
Zero's silver gown fluttered in the dance floor, and all the members instinctively made way for her.
The members gazed at Lin Chen and Ling, a gesture of respect for the Lionheart Association's president and the best respect they could show to the dancers.
Lu Mingfei was still standing there dumbfounded when Fingel reached out and pulled her back.
Ling's dance was indeed as beautiful as a swan's, and Lin Chen could clearly see her long and fair swan neck.
This girl from the UK has a beautiful face, and her temperament and figure are absolutely top-notch.
Following in Zero's footsteps, Lin Chen's powerful learning ability as a mixed-race individual allowed him to also gain a thorough understanding of dance.
This was a grand dance performance, and Lin Chen and Ling captivated the entire audience!
The dance was accompanied by PorUnaCabeza, which translates to "Just One Step Away." It was once a work by a dance king, but at this moment, Lin Chen and Ling handled the accompaniment perfectly.
The members were stunned. This performance was a masterpiece of world-class skill, but it was only being performed at a university student gathering.
As the music was about to end, Zero looked at Lin Chen and asked, "President, I will be rotating 3600 degrees at the end. Can you help me complete that?"
Lin Chen smiled like a gentleman: "Of course you can be my dance partner. You should be the most stunning superdancekung on the dance floor!"
Zero's heart skipped a beat, and Lin Chen had already raised his palm.
Zero pressed her fingers against Lin Chen's palm, and began to spin. Her skirt billowed, and her high heels tapped rhythmically on the ground, reflecting a dazzling silver light.
The entire Norton Hall fell silent, and all the lights shone on Lin Chen and Zero. This dance seemed like an eternal masterpiece, and all the members were stunned.
When the 3600-degree rotation ended, Zero fell into Lin Chen's arms.
Lin Chen caught Zero like a male lead in an idol drama, freezing this moment as the end of the dance under the gaze of the entire audience.
A powerful round of applause erupted throughout the venue, and Lin Chen and Ling exchanged a silent glance amidst the applause.
Ling, nestled in Lin Chen's arms, was breathing evenly. Lin Chen's face was reflected in her eyes, and Lin Chen saw a faint emotion in them.
The storm of applause finally subsided, and Ling gradually stood up. Facing Lin Chen, she slowly knelt down to pay her respects, her skirt blooming like a flower. It was a standard courtly gesture, and Lin Chen returned the greeting to Ling.
The band started playing music again, and all the members were back in the party.
Ling stood up, and when she looked at Lin Chen, her expression was no longer so cold. She slowly looked at Lin Chen and said, "Thank you, President."
Lin Chen patted her head: "You danced wonderfully, no wonder you're the troupe's star dancer."
At this moment, Ke Ling lowered her head and said softly, "I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
Zero changed back into her original black leather jacket, put her high heels back into her suitcase, and then put on a deep red trench coat.
Her expression was calm and indifferent as she walked away.
"Zero," Lin Chen called to her.
Ling stopped and turned to look at Lin Chen: "Is there anything else?"
Lin Chen simply looked at her and said, "It's nothing... just be careful."
Ling nodded lightly, sensing something different in Lin Chen's words, but she couldn't quite figure out what it meant.
What danger could there be inside the Kassel College? Besides, there's nothing to be careful about.
A hint of doubt flashed in Zero's eyes.
"Okay." Zero nodded. "Bye."
Lin Chen waved goodbye to her, and when he turned around, Fingel had already rushed over in one stride.
"Lin Chen! Your dance was absolutely amazing!" Fingel exclaimed, holding his phone. "Look, I took so many photos! We've got the headline in tonight's school newspaper!"
Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything, only noticing that Lu Mingfei was following behind Fingel.
Lu Mingfei was looking down, seemingly lost in thought. When she saw Lin Chen, she quickly looked up and greeted him, "Hello, senior!"
Lin Chen nodded: "Have fun, go dance!"
