America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 72: The Party Turns Around
"Sean, do you think I look handsome in this outfit?"

On Saturday afternoon, Daniel walked quickly down the stairs from the second floor and turned around in front of Li Xiaoen.

Li Xiaoen looked up from his iPad and glanced at the other person. "It's okay. It feels about the same as your last set."

"What's the same?"

Daniel smacked his lips and raised his hand to stroke his sleeves. "The fabric of this suit is fine and soft, and the tailoring is tailored according to the specifications of luxury goods."

"Since you think this one is better, why are you asking me?"

Li Xiaoen was amused. "Isn't it just a performance on stage? Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force?"

"This is a great opportunity to show off in front of all the classmates and teachers in the school. How can I not take it seriously?" Daniel retorted.

"Don't worry about that. After tonight's party, everyone's impression of you will just be the guy who played the cajon at the welcome party."

Li Xiaoen smiled mercilessly and broke Daniel's fantasy. Noticing Daniel's expression immediately turned serious, he could only shrug his shoulders.

"Well, at least you still have a girlfriend after the party. It's only right that you leave her with a good memory of yourself."

Looking up and down at Li Xiaoen's casual yet elegant outfit, Daniel let out a sigh helplessly, waved his hand and turned to go upstairs.

"You are talking without any pain in your waist. I won't talk to you anymore."

"Thank you for letting me go."

Li Xiaoen responded with a smile, lowering his head to look at the math material on the iPad again.

Tonight is the welcome party they have been preparing for a long time. Compared with Daniel and the other two, they can just choose one of the three outfits that Victoria helps them match, which undoubtedly saves them from all the trouble.

Even so, if he really had to match his clothes himself, he would choose the set of clothes that he thought was most comfortable and suitable, and not worry about it anymore - after all, he really felt that the several sets of clothes Daniel had tried on were similar.

"Are you ready?"

The door suddenly opened and Michael's excited voice was heard.

"I am fine, Daniel is still trying on clothes."

Li Xiaoen turned his head to look at Michael and the other man who walked into the house, nodded and greeted them.

Their outfits were obviously carefully coordinated, but Michael looked similar to Daniel, while Malcolm looked more like an upper-class elite.

"Sean, this suit looks great on you."

Malcolm smiled and sat down on the couch, saying hello.

"It's okay, I have help."

Li Xiaoen nodded. Seeing that it was almost six o'clock, he picked up the documents he had put aside and stood up. "I'm going to the school office. We'll meet in the school auditorium then."

"By the way, please help Daniel with his clothes."

Before leaving, Li Xiaoen smiled and added something to the two of them, then closed the door.

On the way to the school's financial aid office, Li Xiaoen was not in a good mood.

For some inexplicable reason, the school scholarship I had originally applied for suddenly required additional materials, and the procedures were urgently needed to be completed on a non-working day like Saturday. Six o'clock was the time the teacher specially gave him to work overtime.

After completing the formalities and coming out of the building, Li Xiaoen bumped into Victoria and two other girls at the door of the auditorium.

"Hello, beautiful ladies." Li Xiaoen took the initiative to greet them.

Princeton hasn't held this kind of welcome party for several years. The students who come to watch or perform now have very different clothing styles. Some are dressed up and wear gowns, while others wear casual sweatshirts and jeans.

Today, the two young ladies had the same style, both wearing exquisite and luxurious slim-fitting long skirts, which did not look cheap at first glance. One was black and the other red, and they were suitable for both daily and formal occasions.

"Um……"

Victoria walked closer, looked Li Xiaoen up and down, and nodded continuously, "I have a good taste."

"Although I really want to say that you are conceited, but considering that this is Victoria, you helped to match the outfit, I won't say anything to you today." Li Xiaoen smiled and spread his hands, then turned and walked into the auditorium with the two girls.

"If you don't tell me today, then you will tell me tomorrow?"

"Well, you got it right, Victoria. You are really smart."

Li Xiaoen smiled and said, "I'll tell you, today's accumulation will be discussed tomorrow."

"Humph……"

Victoria rolled her eyes and snorted, pulling Li Xiaoen's arm, "Stop for a moment, let me help you fix your hair."

"..."

Li Xiaoen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Seeing Victoria looking up at him seriously, he bent down slightly.

But why is this posture so strange?

Bending over, with her hair being carefully combed, not far in front of him was Victoria's plump chest rising and falling. Li Xiaoen took a deep breath inwardly, and a fresh floral fragrance entered his nostrils. His eyes could not help but look up and down, left and right, admiring the spectacular curves of the mountains.

Suddenly feeling a burning gaze, Li Xiaoen turned his head to look and saw Sufeil, who was standing next to him, had crossed his arms. He met his gaze with a sneer on his face.

This woman, is she still holding a grudge about what happened in Wednesday's psychology class?

Li Xiaoen was secretly grumbling in his heart, and then he heard Victoria's laughter above his head.

"Okay, this looks much better."

As soon as Li Xiaoen straightened his back, the girl patted his chest gently, "Go ahead, you promised me before that you would show me the wonderful performance you prepared for a long time tonight."

Li Xiaoen didn't answer, nodded to Victoria, turned and walked towards the backstage of the auditorium.

After squeezing through the crowd, I found Daniel and his two companions in a corner.

"Sean, you're finally here."

Daniel was looking around and was relieved when he saw Li Xiaoen.

"Your outfit looks much better than before."

Looking up and down at Daniel's clothes, Li Xiaoen nodded and made his comment.

"Hey, Malcolm helped me put it together."

Daniel smiled and put his arm around Malcolm's shoulders, making him shudder.

Li Xiaoen nodded seriously and glanced at Malcolm who was silently removing Daniel's arm. At this moment, he noticed his gaze and showed a reserved smile.

This black man from an educated family vaguely resembles an upper-class white gentleman - after all, in Li Xiaoen's impression, black people who have become rich and entered the upper class are more wild than each other and have more fun.

Before they had to wait too long, the host's opening speech came from the speakers around the auditorium. The heated atmosphere backstage suddenly stagnated, and everyone silently slowed down their movements.

At the entrance to the front stage, a boy in a suit and a top hat was taking deep breaths in an attempt to relieve the tension in his heart.

The first performance was a magic show, and the order of the performances was determined by drawing lots, which was unintentionally a major challenge for him.

It seems that with his void storage space, he is also suitable to be a magician.

Li Xiaoen thought to himself, oh, that's not right, he is a magician pretending to be a magician to deceive people, he is actually a magician.

What followed was a long and tense waiting time. As the next show was about to begin, everyone's bodies began to tense unconsciously, but Daniel was called over by the person in charge of the party.

After whispering a few words in the ear, Daniel came back with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoen frowned.

"The cable connecting our music keyboard to the speakers is missing..."
