Chapter 53 New Year Banquet (2)

Du Ye smiled and praised, "Mm-hm, what people want to wear is correct. Zhen Ni's makeup skills are also first-rate. With just a little bit of makeup, you can look completely different."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say," Su Nuo lowered her head embarrassedly.

"Since we're all packed up, let's go to the banquet hall together," Zhen Ni smiled and pointed upstairs.

So the four of them left Su Nuo's room and went to the banquet hall on the top floor.

As soon as she entered the hall, Zhen Ni pulled Su Nuo to the other side of the dining table. She tasted delicious food and wine while looking at the scenery outside the window. At this moment, Xiao Yue and Du Ye went to greet everyone and chat for a while.

After nightfall, after the formal start of the dance, everyone walked into the dance floor and danced. Originally, Su Nuo did not dance, but when faced with Du Ye's invitation, she could only follow Du Ye to the dance floor. After the song ended, Xiao Yue directly held Su Nuo's hand and danced again.

"Hey, isn't this bad? Didn't you say you wanted to keep a low profile?" Su Nuo was a little nervous.

"It's fine. Today is the New Year's Ball. It's normal for everyone to dance together. Furthermore, I've already invited a lot of female members to dance. Everyone won't pay too much attention to it." Xiao Yue took Su Nuo to dance and looked at Su Nuo with gentle eyes.

They thought that no one would notice, but in fact, it was only the majority of them. There were still some people who noticed Xiao Yue and Su Nuo at the dance.

One of the main reasons was Su Nuo. She had never danced before, but this year, she danced with Du Ye and Xiao Yue unusually, which made many people speculate whether the rumor was true.

Another reason why some people noticed the two of them was because of their clothes. Xiao Yue's dress was tailored from top-grade fabrics. It looked luxurious and unpretentious, simple and decent. It was a very decent dress. Naturally, it was fundamentally different from the dress that Su Nuo bought from the ordinary clothing store.

"I think you should tell Xiao Yue not to wear such a high-end gown next time. He probably doesn't think much of it, but as long as he stands with Su Nuo, he will immediately compare Su Nuo's middle-end gown," Zhen Ni said to Du Ye as she ate.

Du Ye also looked at the two people on the dance floor.

"How could it not be? Many people here are smart. Look carefully, there are already people whispering in this hall." Zhen Ni used her eyes to signal Du Ye to look at the other side of the hall.

Du Ye followed Zhen Ni's line of sight and saw that some people were looking at Xiao Yue and Su Nuo. They didn't know what they were muttering.

Du Ye also felt helpless as he frowned and said, "These people are really bored. What does it have to do with them?"

"This is probably the sour grapes effect," shrugged Jenny.

"I have a way," Du Ye thought of an idea.

After the dance song ended, Du Ye immediately walked to Xiao Yue's side and pretended to accidentally spill a glass of wine on Xiao Yue's body.

Du Ye pulled Xiao Yue out of the hall and said, "Let's go change and come over."

Xiao Yue could tell that Du Ye had deliberately spilled wine on himself, but he didn't know why.

Xiao Yue walked out of the hall and said, "Du Ye, what are you doing?"

Du Ye pulled Xiao Yue to Xiao Yue's room and said, "I'll take you to change your clothes."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yue still didn't understand what Du Ye was going to do.

Du Ye pointed at Xiao Yue's gown as he walked. "Your clothes are too eye-catching. Standing with Su Nuo is too out of place."

Xiao Yue immediately understood, "Did someone say something about Su Nuo?"

Du Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I saw a lot of them."

Xiao Yue sighed helplessly, "Looks like I really need to be careful."

The two of them returned to Xiao Yue's room and searched Xiao Yue's wardrobe for a long time. They did not find a dress that matched Su Nuo's dress.

Du Ye muttered discontentedly, "I say, Young Master Xiao, your clothes are too high-grade. Have you never bought clothes on the street?"

"That's right. I've never been on the street since I was a child. My clothes have always been made by tailors. Before I came of age, I always thought that everyone's clothes were made like this." Xiao Yue spread out his hands to show that he really was like this.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Du Ye pointed at a pile of "unqualified" clothes and asked Xiao Yue.

"Why don't you wear a uniform? I think it's good too," Xiao Yue pointed at the uniform of the coordination team.

"This is even worse. People will think that you're wearing a uniform to lower your status." Du Ye shook his head and said that he couldn't.

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Yue couldn't think of a better way.

"Wait for me," Du Ye said and ran out of the room.

.

Twenty minutes later, Du Ye came back with a set of clothes.

"Where did you get this set of clothes?" Xiao Yue pointed at the clothes in Du Ye's hand.

Du Ye also took out the label and showed it to Xiao Yue. "I asked someone to buy it on the street."

"You're awesome," Xiao Yue gave Du Ye a thumbs up.

"Hurry up and put it on. We can still catch the last set of dances for the New Year. I haven't danced enough yet," Du Ye urged.

Xiao Yue stopped pretending and put on the gown in Du Ye's hand very nimbly.

Du Ye smiled and pointed at Xiao Yue's face. "Mm, the size is just right, but it doesn't seem to be your style. Your temperament is too outstanding. It's really against the harmony between you and the clothes of these commoners," Du Ye pointed at Xiao Yue's face.

Xiao Yue reminded Du Ye, "Tell me what you said here. Don't say it when you go back to the banquet hall, so that Su Nuo won't feel uncomfortable when she hears it."

"Understood," Du Ye nodded knowingly.

The two of them quickly returned to the banquet hall. Su Nuo, who was standing with Zhen Ni in the banquet hall, saw Xiao Yue, who had changed his clothes and returned with Du Ye.

Su Nuo couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Xiao Yue's dress. "You, where did you get this dress?"

Xiao Yue smiled and looked at Su Nuo, "How is it? Does it feel good?"

Su Nuo shook her head, "It's not your style at all."

"Style is fine as long as you get used to it. I think it's not bad," Xiao Yue said as he held Su Nuo's hand again. "There's still one last set of dances. Dance with me one more time."

"Alright," Su Nuo nodded and followed Xiao Yue into the dance floor.

While dancing, Su Nuo whispered, "Xiao Yue, you don't have to accommodate yourself to wear such clothes for me in the future. It's really not good-looking. I still think you look good in your previous dress."

Xiao Yue ignored the meaning behind Su Nuo's words and pretended not to understand, "I didn't like this kind of dress. I feel like I'm tied up when I wear it. I can't wear those clothes once in a while."
