I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Rice hesitated to speak, walked quietly on the road, and did not respond for a long time.

Just when Youxia thought the topic was over, he suddenly said, "I'm the only one who is close to you."

When the words came out, the two of them were passing by an exquisitely decorated dwarf candy shop. The rich candy aroma wafted out from the open stained glass door, and the wind that was sent was sweet.

Even though he understood that Rice was referring to close friends, perhaps because of the influence of this fragrance, Youxia couldn't help feeling a sweet sense of happiness in his chest.

He glanced at Les's black hair that was a little messed up by the wind, and his eyes jumped to the peddler who was pushing a wooden cart in front of him selling handicraft accessories, and said on a whim, "I'll buy you a hair rope!"

After all, before Rice could react, he went to the handicraft cart parked under the big sycamore tree.

The peddler wearing a straw hat saw an honored elf visitor in front of his booth, and immediately showed him the beautiful copper utensils at the bottom of the box with a smile on his face.

You Xia shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to buy these things, and his eyes shifted to a row of leather ropes hanging from the horizontal bar of the wooden frame.

He took a fancy to a black leather rope decorated with brass leaves and bird feathers. Just as Les walked up to him, he took the leather rope and gave it to him: "Try this."

Les looked down at the black leather rope he handed over, raised his head and blinked at Yuxia, as if he was waiting for something.

"I won't, you do it yourself." You Xia saw through his thoughts at a glance, "You know how to tie your hair, I remember when I first met you, you had a high ponytail?"

Hearing this, Les just took the leather rope, but he didn't try it on the spot, but wrapped the leather rope around his wrist, which looked like a bracelet.

He explained: "There is no mirror here, go back and try again."

You Xia laughed: "You're pretty stinking."

Then he asked the peddler about the price.

"Thirty copper coins, and this is for you too." The peddler said, picking up another leather cord with a similar style, except that the copper leaves were replaced with brass bells, and stuffed it to him, and said courteously: "I'm still the first This leather rope is made by my six-year-old daughter, if she knows that the hair rope she made can be used by the elves, she will be very happy."

The stall owner's kindness was hard to come by, You Xia had no choice but to take the leather rope, and thanked: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'd better pay you the money for this one as well."

The peddler waved his hands and said "no need", but when You Xia really offered him sixty copper coins, he didn't refuse, and grinned his lips to greet him to come again next time.

It wasn't until after walking a certain distance that You Xia vaguely recalled something.

What kind of leather rope made by a six-year-old daughter herself, only six-year-old knows what is elf and not elf!

He asked Rice: "Have I been bought and sold by force?"

"Well." Rice nodded honestly: "If it were someone else, he wouldn't dare to use this trick."

You Xia understood that it was probably because of the wood elf's good reputation that the stall owner took the initiative to give things away, because he expected that he would definitely give money.

You Xia couldn't laugh or cry: "You can see, why didn't you stop me then?"

Les raised the corner of his lower lip slightly, glanced at the leather cord of the same style as his wrapped around his wrist, and said, "It's quite suitable."

Fortunately, the leather rope is not bought for nothing, and it will be used for the banquet at night.

Regarding the costumes for the banquet, Youxia originally planned to go to the clothing rental store to rent a set of relatively simple clothes such as knight uniforms, but after hearing his thoughts, Les said that he had a similar set of armor and could lend it to he.

You Xia thought it would be good if he could save some money, besides, compared to the clothes worn by countless people in the clothing store, wearing Lace is always more comfortable.

So in the evening of that night, Youxia changed into the knight uniform of the Sunshine Army that Les brought from home, and asked Les to tie a high ponytail for him with the leather rope bought during the day.

The silver hair that had been loose for many days was tied up high, and the whole person felt much refreshed.

The only thing that feels uncomfortable is that the black armor is too heavy. Fortunately, he exercises with the adult elves every day, and his physique has improved a lot, otherwise he might not be able to resist the clothes.

After changing into the knight uniform, he seemed to come into play suddenly, picked up Les's sword and made several nondescript slashing movements. Every time he turned around, the bell on the hair rope shook with his long hair, making a series of crisp sounds. the bell rings.

Les was persuaded by him to go to the banquet together, and he also changed his clothes at this time, that is, the black dress given by the game that he wore when shooting the advertisement.

He was sitting on the spacious sofa, teasing the little black panther with his fingers, but his eyes were always glued to the spinning figure of the elf.

Whenever the elf's shining silver hair brushed against the shoulder armor, the sound of the bell ringing simultaneously seemed to be shaking in his heart, easily covering up the beating of his beating heart.

It was nearly 06:30, and the sun had already set, leaving only a rosy sunset glow in the sky.

The lights were not turned on, and the room on the second floor of the cosmetics store was large and dark, with only the glass windows on the front providing diffuse light in the evening.

In front of the big glass window covered with red clouds, Youxia made a fixed motion of withdrawing his sword, then suddenly turned his head and smiled at Les, and asked, "How about it, do you think I have the talent to be a fighter?"

Les met his smiling face suddenly, his heart was pounding, he couldn't open his mouth or move his body for a while, letting the little leopard hold his fingers and bite.

Youxia and him looked at each other for a moment, probably realizing that his behavior was a little too naive, immediately put down his sword, cleared his throat and said: "It's almost time, get up, we can go to the banquet."

The quiet atmosphere was broken by the crisp sound of the iron sword colliding with the table. Les pulled out his fingers from the little black panther's paws as if he had just woken up from a dream, and bowed his head with reddish ears and said "hmm".

Mrs. Lucia said that the dinner party officially started at [-]:[-] p.m., but when Youxia and the two entered half an hour earlier, they found that almost everyone had arrived.

Submit the invitation letter from the main entrance and enter. The first thing you see is a hall with dim candlelight. Through the hall, you can see a huge screen inlaid with stained glass. Came from the entrance next to the screen.

You Xia suddenly realized that this was really a grand banquet.

He glanced at the attendants in black uniforms standing on both sides of the entrance, and then at the elegant and handsome Les next to him in a tuxedo suit. He inexplicably felt that he was dressed in armor and battle uniform, more like he was here to mess things up.

But this feeling of being out of place and awkward disappeared instantly after entering the banquet hall.

Mrs. Lucia is right, don't worry about dressing too out of line, because there must be someone more out of line than him.

The costume dinner is worthy of being a costume dinner. It is clearly a brightly lit human banquet hall, but there are all kinds of weird species hidden inside.

You Xia saw at a glance, among the crowds of people, it was easy to dress up as a person with a special identity or profession, and more guests simply changed themselves into a different race.

It was as if he had only walked a few steps, and several fair-haired or silver-haired elves passed his eyes, as well as wolf knights riding fake wolves, winged men with wings but could not fly, painted their skin It became a huge green goblin, and there were even more grotesque costumes, which Youxia couldn't even recognize.

"Eh?" You Xia's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the clothes of the people around him and pointed to him: "Les, do you think that the one with two bat wings is an imitation dragon?"

Rice said calmly, "It's just wings."

"That's right, it's too ugly with only wings and no scales." You Xia said disappointedly.

Les noticed that his tone dropped, and asked, "Do you really want to see the dragon?"

"Not really." You Xia pursed her lower lip, "Probably because I have raised you for a long time, and I think the magic dragon is quite kind. When I first saw the similarity, I was a little excited."

"Ah."

Probably because of the relatively low-key dress of the two of them, the two walked straight through the big banquet hall and entered the small ballroom, and never met anyone to accost them.

When we arrived at the ballroom, the flow of people became more crowded, and all kinds of noisy cheers and music sounded in our ears.

Especially in the center of the room, two rows of men and women are dancing ballroom dancing facing each other, surrounded by a room surrounded by three floors of people watching.

After passing through the ballroom, I finally came to a relatively quiet banquet restaurant with relatively few people.

After entering the restaurant, the two of them picked up a plate to put some drinks and food at the same time. What surprised You Xia was that there were egg tarts and French fries from his fried chicken shop on the table of such a traditional festival party.

God knows how embarrassing he felt when he suddenly saw a basket of french fries and ketchup in a row of bread desserts and barbecues.

In the end, I can only feel that Los City's attitude towards foreign things is really tolerant.

After getting the food, the two sat down by the sofa in the corner, and while they were eating to pass the time, they listened to the gossip of the two ladies next door.

The two ladies next door, one is wearing a light purple one-sleeved dress with butterfly patterns, the other is wearing a black tight-fitting dress with dragonfly wings on its back.

Ms. Butterfly said: "Your makeup today is really exquisite. Judging from the way the eyebrows are drawn, it should be done by Ms. Love."

Ms. Dragonfly said: "You guessed it right. I originally wanted to make an appointment with Miss Jasmine, but her list was too crowded, so I had to make an appointment with Ms. Love. Even so, I still waited in line for three hours. It's my turn to make up, if I knew it would be so busy, I should have made an appointment yesterday."

"At any rate, you still got the silver medal. I went too late, and it was only the turn of a little girl with average skills."

"Your makeup is not bad either. Look at your bright lipstick. I was attracted by your lips as soon as I saw you. Can you tell me which color number you use?"

Ms. Butterfly's tone was somewhat proud: "Hey, the one I use is not a lipstick, but a lip gloss called Temperament Queen, and that lip gloss is not on the shelves yet, and this is also taking advantage of my sister. She is a member of Xia Zhisen, and she exchanged [-] points for this lip gloss."

"So that's the case, let me tell you, I haven't seen your color number in the store before," Ms. Dragonfly said, "It's a bit difficult to become a member. It seems that I can only wait for the new products to hit the shelves."

"You look pretty pretty with this color number now, isn't it the ox blood color of the lacquer clarinet that just came out today?"

"That's right, there are so many shades, I was overwhelmed at the time, but in the end I chose this shade after seeing the models in the pictorial look good on me..."

Two women chatting endlessly around a lipstick shade.

You Xia was a bit bored at first, but when she heard them talking about the poster model, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Les cast a puzzled look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

You Xia approached him, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear what they were talking about? Let me tell you, there must be many people attracted by your charm, so they will buy your same style..."

Les looked down at his lips opening and closing, only feeling more and more in a trance, the cheerful music mixed with drum beats was all around his ears, and he couldn't hear anything else.

It wasn't until You Xia closed his lips, tilted his head and asked him with a smile, "Is it right?" that he gradually recovered his thoughts.

Just about to answer something casually, Mrs. Lucia came straight over with a fair-faced middle-aged man, and said loudly: "Mr. You Xia, I finally found you!"
