They entered through the side door of the hall, silently, and stepped into a flashy world that they had never touched before.The lobby is richly decorated, familiar faces put on adult costumes, as if they suddenly changed faces, as if they were observing the world through a distorting mirror-everything became weird.

There were also adults in the banquet hall, well-dressed, smiling at Yan Yan, speaking with a sophistication that made Lu Yun want to stay away from him.

——Compared with a birthday party, this place is more like a masquerade party.

Xia Yi was almost dumbfounded: "So many people?" He turned to look at Xu Shicheng, "Brother, do you have so many friends?"

Xu Shicheng pressed the center of his brows, pursed the corners of his lips, looking a little tired: "...not exactly."

What is "not exactly"?

Lu Yun didn't understand, she didn't feel very comfortable, a strange feeling of incompatibility almost made her want to turn around and leave - if it wasn't because Xu Shicheng was by her side, maybe she would have done that.

"Why is it so late?" A strange boy with a cup noticed this side, hooked Xu Shicheng's shoulder with a smile, and glanced lightly at the three of them, looking impolite, "I thought you, the birthday star, ran away."

"How come?" Xu Shicheng said.

"Hehe, that might be true....This is your friend in the west of the city?" The other party sized up the three of them, and fixed his eyes on Jiang Yu for a second, as if he was a little puzzled, but the doubt disappeared in a flash, and it was very easy. Almost turned into an indescribable contempt, he raised his cup and casually waved to them, "Hi, I'm Chu Hua, Xu Shicheng's friend."

"Oh." Xia Yi glanced at him coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to Xu Shicheng for a moment, his expression turned into a normal smile again, "Brother Cheng, I'll take Lu Yun and the others to find something to drink first. It's a hot day, I'm thirsty."

Xu Shicheng nodded: "OK."

Xia Yi immediately turned his head. No matter what kind of expression that Chu Hua showed, Lu Yun looked at Chu Hua curiously for a while, and then turned his head to catch up without interest.Jiang Yu was more straightforward, his face was full of impatience, and he turned around more impatiently than Xia Yi, almost faster than Xia Yi, as if he couldn't wait to escape from this place.

"..." Chu Hua's expression was a little stiff, he said "heh", and turned to Xu Shicheng, "I said... buddy, you have a really big temper when you are so small in the past."

Xu Shicheng said "hmm" expressionlessly, pulled off his hand, and walked away.

This birthday party is no longer just an ordinary birthday party.He walked through those familiar or unfamiliar faces, and hypocritically spoke tacit words to those people.

He walked to the corner, wanting to be quiet for a while, but was held down by a hand.

is the father.

"Have you had enough trouble?" Xu's father lowered his voice and said to him, "I can still give you an excuse to be young people's rebellion by dressing so casually for such an occasion. What do you want now? As today's The protagonist left the table directly? Xu Shicheng——you are an adult, you are no longer a child."

"Today is my birthday." Xu Shicheng said coldly, "But Dad, this is how you prepare for my birthday."

"What are you dissatisfied with this banquet?!" He frowned, "Eat? Drink? Didn't I invite your friends as you asked?"

Xu Shicheng didn't speak, his eyes were ironic.

Xu's father looked at him for a while, and his face gradually softened, as if showing weakness: "...Okay, I know you don't like to get along with strangers, and you don't have to worry about other people, except for the young master of the Cen family. He just came back from abroad not long ago... I also met the Cen family by chance, so don't neglect him..."

Xu Shicheng stared at him, his voice was calm, but with a bit of sadness: "Why does it have to be on my birthday?"

Father Xu's voice paused for a moment: "You and him are the same age, so we should have some common topics..."

Xu Shicheng didn't listen anymore, he stood there silently and resisted, looking at his father's face that was no longer young, while resisting, he realized sadly that this would be another compromise.

He looked over to the banquet hall, and Lu Yun was sitting there. For a moment, she was overwhelmed by the crowd. He felt that she seemed to have disappeared together with his childhood and the memories of the past, as if nothing had ever existed. like that.

What was he planning to invite Lu Yun for?

Xu Shicheng felt as if he had forgotten.

His father suddenly patted him on the shoulder heavily, and he turned his head, but Xu's father didn't look at him: "...Xiao Cheng, this is what I said before... Young Master Cen who just came back from studying abroad." sounded.

With one hand in his pocket, the young man casually came out of the corner and looked at Xu Shicheng. Under the golden light, the two young men looked at each other, like two predators who met unexpectedly on the grassland, watching from afar .

It was a handsome face, full of juvenile rebelliousness, one could tell at a glance that he had not been tempered by life, a typical young master of aristocratic family, the grace in his gestures was permeated with an arrogance that did not eat the sufferings of the world.

"Hello," Xu Shicheng spoke first, and stretched out a hand towards the other party, politely as if having some kind of business meeting, "I'm Xu Shicheng."
