Affectionate characters can't collapse [Quick wear]

After twisting and turning all the way, he finally found the castle where the banquet was held.

Fortunately, there were no other accidents along the way, and his dress remained clean and tidy as before.

Except... the shoes don't know where he lost them.

The soft white socks stepped on the gravel-covered road, bringing a trace of obvious pain.

The long and fluffy skirt completely covered the feet. As long as the skirt was not lifted up, no one would notice that he was not wearing shoes.

Because of the episode of meeting the devil, Ji Xingyun was almost late.

He pinned the family badge on his chest, and took out the invitation letter that the system had prepared for him in advance.

I don't know where the system found the down-and-out nobleman with a long list of surnames on it.

Those words were uncommon and weird, and he didn't even know them.

Everyone who enters the castle will be strictly checked by the servants, and those who do not have an invitation letter, or those with ulterior motives who want to sneak in, will be kicked out by them.

Ji Xingyun hid in the corner, arranging the mask on his face.

The color system is the same as that of the dress, and the mask is also pure white. In the upper right corner, there is a freshly bloomed flower with layers of petals, which happens to be adorned in Ji Xingyun's hair.

It is so small that it barely covers the upper half of the face.

Ji Xingyun panicked: [Is there a mask that can cover the entire face?I won't be discovered like this, will I? 】

System: [You are going to a banquet, not to sing an opera. 】

Ji Xingyun: [... Oh. 】

System: [Don't worry, those who are familiar with you will automatically ignore your appearance and will not recognize your true identity. Besides, this is just a fairy tale world, so there is no need to get too entangled in logic. 】

The pocket watch in his pocket beeped crisply, and the manservant in formal attire solemnly opened the watch cover to confirm the time.

He waved his hand and called the rest of the servants over.

"It's time, close the door."

Ji Xingyun lifted the hem of the skirt and said loudly, "Please wait a moment."

Several people pushed the heavy and gorgeous door and turned a deaf ear.

Both the nobles and the guests pay great attention to the concept of time. Only those nouveau riche, or those who have purchased a title from the king with some property, will be late for this kind of banquet.

The servant thought somewhat disdainfully in his heart.

But for some reason, hearing this gentle voice, he turned his head uncontrollably.

For a moment, he thought he was in heaven.

Otherwise, how could there be angels in the mortal world?

He came back to his senses suddenly, and suddenly said: "Quick, open the door, don't block this... this beautiful lady."

"Thank you."

The ornate door was reopened with a louder grinding sound.

The door that had just been closed was reopened, which attracted the attention of many people.

They swayed the red wine and cast their eyes casually.

The cold moonlight poured down, and against the background of the boundless night, stood a slender and weak girl.

Girls are not as exquisitely made up as the ladies and ladies who come to the banquet, the gorgeous and dazzling piles of countless jewels and accessories.

She was dressed so beautifully.

Diamonds, gold, jewelry, all the accessories that can show wealth are all absent.

Even the most down-and-out family would take out a few decent jewelry in this kind of scene, so inferior and arrogant that they could maintain what little self-esteem they had left.

She has nothing, but it does not affect her beauty and nobility in the slightest.

Her skin is white and delicate, like coagulated milk and cream, so white that it almost glows.

The smooth and dense black hair was only tied loosely with a white tie, other than that, there was no extra decoration, but everyone present couldn't take their eyes off it.

The thin mask covered the upper half of her face, leaving only a pair of clear eyes like glass, with tiny stars shining and light streamers pouring down.

She didn't seem to have thought that her appearance would attract so many people's attention. Like a frightened little rabbit, she quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared.

This made many people sigh.

The lights at the banquet were dim, and Ji Xingyun walked cautiously.

There was a strong scent of perfume and powder around him, which made him hold his breath involuntarily.

Gentlemen and ladies chatted with each other in a distant manner. They sipped sweet wine and talked about jewels, power and love with smiles on their faces.

Whether Ji Xingyun understood or not, he walked outside the crowd, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

He doesn't understand the rules of the nobles, and he is not a princess who is comfortable with this kind of banquet in essence, so avoid making too many mistakes.

Whenever a stranger came to toast, he smiled and declined.

He wanted to find a place with fewer people, and to find out his mission goals with the system.

He just kept his head down and walked, naturally ignoring the situation ahead.

He hit someone.

Obviously it was the person he bumped into, but the other person didn't move at all, and directly bounced him out.

The person who came reached out and grabbed Ji Xingyun's arm in time, and gently moved it in his direction, only to avoid his falling down in public.

Ji Xingyun said: "Sorry, I didn't notice..."

[Congratulations for triggering the first mission target. 】

Ji Xingyun raised his eyes in surprise, and when he saw the face of bumping into others, his surprise directly turned into shock and astonishment.

In some long-term memories, the person's appearance and name gradually changed from blurred to clear.

"...Shen Tingxuan?"

There was some doubt in the man's eyes, and he whispered: "Miss, you have misunderstood the person."

Ji Xingyun said in a trance: "Admitted... someone?"

He looked over carefully and finally saw some differences.

The man's appearance is like that of Shen Tingxuan who grew up ten years later. His facial features and outline have matured a lot, and his lacquer-like eyes have become darker and darker. Let him suffocate involuntarily.

It was almost instantly aware of certain dangers that should not be provoked.

Is it a mistake?How can there be two people who are so similar?

Can the same character appear in two completely different worlds?

Or is it possible for beings from different worlds to have such similar appearances?

A series of questions lingered in his mind, but the system seemed to be playing dead, allowing him to ask any questions, and only answered with one sentence.

[The matter is confidential, no comment. 】

Ji Xingyun hadn't recovered yet, still staring blankly at the man.

"My name is Soy."

"Reciprocity, should Miss also tell me your name?"

Ji Xingyun pursed his lower lip, but did not reply.

Looking at this face, those memories that have almost faded are coming back arrogantly at this moment.

About how paranoid and extreme Shen Tingxuan imprisoned him in the villa, and then forced him...

She pretends to be a human being on the surface, but who would have thought that she is actually a pervert who likes to imprison people behind her back!

But... It seems that it is also because of his existence that he broke the proper track of things and made Shen Tingxuan embark on an irreversible path.

The ambiguity of the system made him a little vigilant, and subconsciously equated the man with Shen Tingxuan.

At the same time, there was also a trace of guilt and sadness, which weighed heavily on his heart, making him very uncomfortable.

No matter whether there is some kind of relationship between these two people, he decided to give up this mission goal.

He frowned slightly, and took half a step back. Just when he was about to find an open place to breathe, a man's voice sounded unhurriedly behind him.

"...The Leicester family is said to have fallen into a troublesome economic crisis and is about to have nowhere to go."

What Wright family?What, what economic crisis?

What's the matter with him?

Ji Xingyun pretended not to hear, and continued to move forward, but a systematic warning came from his consciousness.

【The host please don't deviate from the character design! 】

Ji Xingyun was very wronged: [I didn't! 】

【What does this messy crisis have to do with me? 】

System: [... What Suoy said... is the name on your badge, that is, your family. 】

The system lowered the requirements: [...At least listen to what he has to say before leaving. 】

Is this... so?

Ji Xingyun lowered his head and glanced at his badge. He really didn't expect the other party's eyes to be so good, and he could figure out his background clearly after just a short meeting.

"...The Earl of Leicester seems to be thinking about selling the title. Once the title is sold, there is no possibility of repentance. With the status of a young lady, he is not eligible to attend this kind of banquet again."

Ji Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that I don't care.

Having said all these things, Louis can be regarded as getting to the point.

"If you need my help, we can find a quiet place to have a good chat, and discuss about forming an alliance by the way."

The girl has a slender back and a narrow waist, standing upright in front of her looks like a beautiful scenery.

Suoy's eyes gradually darkened, and he almost blurted out his true thoughts.

The first time he saw the girl, he fell into an extremely strange tide of emotion, as if his broken heart was finally filled perfectly, and the thing he had always dreamed of finally got his wish.

Unprecedented excitement and joy.

This is... love at first sight?

Suoy, who sneered at feelings, was surprised and stunned, but he still followed his heart and slowly approached the girl.

Suoyi, who has always been good at calculation, had the idea of ​​helping others for free for the first time, just to find an opportunity to get close to his sweetheart.

But the girl's reaction was beyond his expectation.

After listening to his words, she slipped away lightly and quickly like a gust of untouchable wind.

There was no time for him to react in the future.

Did he say something bad and offend her?

Suoy's calm expression showed a dazed emotion. He looked at the direction the girl was leaving, and was about to chase after her, but was blocked by others...

Ji Xingyun patiently listened to the man's words, and then walked away very quickly.

System: [You really don't want to stay for a second longer. 】

【Didn't you hear what he said? 】

[What words? 】

[A man with a high position and authority, a rich man and a helpless girl whose family is on the verge of collapse, don't you understand the combination of these two types of people? 】

【Understand what? 】

[Understand that he is uneasy and kind!They want to use this to ask for some benefits from me, or to force me to sign some unequal treaty. 】

Ji Xingyun was very proud. If there was a tail behind him, it must have been raised by now.

【I'm so smart, how could I be fooled by him? 】

The system was silent for a while, before saying: [...Oh, did you watch some bloody drama behind my back? 】

Ji Xingyun blinked his eyes, trying to cover up: [How is it possible, I didn't! 】

System: [I think you are prejudiced against Suoy and misunderstood him...]

【what? 】

The system let out a little surprise, confirmed it several times, and then said solemnly: [Congratulations to the host for successfully conquering the first mission target, rewarding [-] points. 】
