Apart from the pastries that made you scream before you put them in your mouth, the wizards' cocktail parties were no more interesting than those of mortals. Considering Zheng Qing's current situation, the remaining fun had to be discounted again.
As for those furtive looks at the party, Zheng Qing had already become immune to them.
If we say that what he mastered the most during his two years at the First University was various little tricks to counter curses, then the second most mastered thing was learning not to care too much about what others think - in the words of the doctor, if you care too much about what others think, you will become someone's pants, because you have to take responsibility for whatever others say.
The Doctor seldom swears.
So when he says something rude, it's best to listen.
The discussion about the Edge Academy hiring the two-headed ogre did not last too long between the three young wizards and witches, because a qualified cocktail party cannot be maintained without the host, and the old wizards attending the party today have already given these young people enough space and time.
Soon, along with the first guest from the O'Brien family coming to greet the host, other guests also appeared in front of Su Shijun and Zheng Qing one after another, with simple greetings and blessings, and one or two jokes that were so cold that they made your teeth fall out. Jiang Yu seemed to not want to participate in such a conversation in such an occasion, but Zheng Qing held her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.
Su Shijun ignored the tug-of-war happening right next to him.
This makes guests more cautious in their tone and wording when greeting each other.
For example, the gray-robed members of the school working committee addressed the three people as "President Zheng", "Director Su" and "Captain Jiang" when they toasted, because Su Shijun was the head of a laboratory in the school, and Jiang Yu was acting as the captain of the Yuzui team.
As for guests with relatively distant relationships, such as the witches from the Black family, they politely addressed Zheng Qing as "Dean Zheng", but they were very familiar with the two witches as "Miss Su" and "Miss Jiang" - this was a clever way to avoid any distinction or misunderstanding.
There were also a few more familiar elders, such as Master Baoyangzi who came from the relevant department. When he greeted the three people, he naturally called out their names.
It can be said that because of Zheng Qing's presence, today's cocktail party was a torture for everyone. But if Zheng Qing wasn't there, the standard of the cocktail party might be slightly lowered -
"--oops!"
There was a brief exclamation in the distance.
Su Shijun looked in the direction of the voice and then sighed.
It was Edamame. It had just accidentally bumped into a guest. Of course, before it actually bumped into the guest, the dog had already swiftly disappeared between the hems of the witch's skirt, thus causing that brief scream - compared to being knocked down, the dog disappearing under the skirt obviously gave the female guest a greater stimulation.
The reason why Maodou was so rude was that Poseidon, together with the three great elves and Zhusi, formed a small hunting team and were hunting a vicious Tindalos demon all over the yard.
This is the most popular game among children in wizarding families.
"——Keep an eye on your dog, don't let it mess around with Dongdong!" As he spoke, Su Shijun paused with his gaze on Jiang Yu and added, "It's enough for Miss Jiang to help me here..."
Zheng Qing felt relieved, and without even saying a word, he swiftly disappeared from the sight of the two witches.
Jiang Yu laughed softly.
"—how dare you let him disappear from both of our sight?"
There was a hint of teasing in her tone, obviously making fun of what Su Shijun had said to her in the Silent Forest that day: "You know, there are quite a few young witches coming to the party today. They may be a little restrained in front of you, but beyond 'politeness', they will go crazy... I don't need to say more."
In response, the senators of the Moonlit Parliament remained very calm.
"Outside of Palin, there is no real threat."
She unceremoniously put her arm around Jiang Yu's waist, and after elegantly clinking her glasses with a stunned guest, she smiled faintly: "If you had lived in his bedroom for a while, you would have known that our Dean Zheng is a bit of a germaphobe... He can't even handle the two of us, how dare he mess with others? Didn't you see that he was very smart to keep a certain distance when dealing with Korma?"
Jiang Yu didn't hear a word Su Shijun said next.
She stopped.
"--What do you mean by living in his bedroom for a while?" She tried to control her tone.
The big fox coming down from Qingqiu Mountain showed just the right amount of confusion and smile: "Hey, didn't you know about this... before he came to Phuket, um... how do you think 'spiritual communication' was done?"
When she said the last sentence, she leaned close to the young witch's ear, and the warm wind from her mouth made Jiang Yu's fair face slightly red.
Jiang Yu was very sure.
She would rather find Elena again than face this big fox alone!
…
…
When Zheng Qing caught Edamame at the edge of the party, it was hiding under a cluster of hibiscus sunflowers, faithfully playing the role of 'prey'.
"——What a good dog!"
Zheng Qing took it into his arms and stroked its head with a smile: "I know when my master is in trouble... But I can't continue to mess around with Dongdong today, or I'll get punished later."
The dog tucked its tail between its legs and meowed obediently.
Then he tilted his head and looked behind him.
Zheng Qing followed its line of sight and was surprised to see a familiar face.
Andrew of the Trident - perhaps he was the one with the lowest status in the entire party, so he could only wander around the edge of the party. After seeing Zheng Qing, he felt a little excited and awkward.
"Ah, it's an honor to meet you... you, President Zheng." The representative of the trident took a small step forward, his chubby round face full of compliments, and then his eyes fell on Maodou and praised: "-This dog is so beautiful!"
Zheng Qing blinked.
Ah, thick barrier, ah, membrane.
He couldn't help but laugh and dropped the dog in his arms.
The dog circled around his feet and then disappeared obediently.
"——Speak nicely!" The dean of Edge College took the wine glass handed over by the elf and clinked it with Andrew's. "Although I don't do business now, I miss the generosity of the Trident."
After Zheng Qing graduated, he was forced to terminate the deal with Trident due to his husband's assignment. Trident was also very clear-headed and never took the contract signed at the beginning to make any application to Danhag. This made Zheng Qing quite concerned, but he never found a suitable opportunity to express his apology.
Andrew also blinked his eyes, revealing a hint of exaggerated surprise: "So, you will continue to provide the Investigation Bureau with that kind of talisman bullet? This is really the best news I have heard this year!"
