Each dormitory only had two people, and apart from her, it could only be Luo Feng. However, Luo Feng usually left the academy directly after classes on weekends and rarely returned to the dormitory. His sudden appearance made Scarlett panic a bit. Even though the door was locked, she instinctively screamed, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't come in!"
Sure enough, it was Luo Feng outside the door: "Of course I can't come in. Aaron, hurry up, I need to talk to you."
"You, wait a moment!" Scarlett hurriedly finished washing, changed into clean clothes and a cloth, and put away the underwear she had taken off. She wiped her face, restoring her handsome male appearance, before opening the door.
Luo Feng complained, "Oh, Aaron, you take too long in the shower, dawdling like a woman!"
"This is my personal preference, what's it to you?" Aaron glared at him fiercely and said irritably, "What's the matter?" (When Scarlett is in her male form, she is generally referred to as Aaron for convenience.)
"It's like this. When I went to pick up Qiqi last week, her roommate told me that she's having a birthday party in Victoria City this week and wants us both to attend. And, she specifically invited you, Aaron! If you're free, why don't you come with me? After all, you know each other." Since coming to Starlight Academy, Aaron has been quite introverted. Apart from himself, he hasn't made any close friends. Every weekend, he goes back to his relatives' place alone, which is quite boring. So, Luo Feng decided to bring him to Tracy's birthday party.
"That female mage named Tracy?" Aaron did have some memory of her because she had once gone to Saint De College with Luo Feng to meet Qiqi's roommate. "Why would she invite me? We're not that close."
"Hehe, maybe she likes you," Luo Feng nudged her waist with his elbow. "Qiqi said Tracy has broken up with her boyfriend and thinks you're very cute. Ha, I didn't expect you to be so attractive, Aaron. Actually, Tracy is quite good-looking too, you might consider it!"
"What do you mean by 'good-looking'? When she smiles, the foundation on her face keeps falling off, it's disgusting!" Aaron's most vivid impression of the female mage was her heavy makeup, which was not just a little bit heavy. As a woman, with her sense of style, she found nothing appealing about it. Of course, she was naturally beautiful with excellent skin, so she didn't need any makeup at all.
Luo Feng was unhappy: "Don't talk about others like that. Tracy meant well, Aaron. Even if you don't agree, don't be malicious. Also, in terms of personality, I think Tracy is much better than the Scarlett you have a crush on."
He always believed that Aaron's personality had been twisted due to the tragic experience of being treated as a woman. If he could get a girlfriend, the situation would definitely improve. Now that someone was being so proactive, he was actively trying to match them up.
Aaron, who had already calmed down a bit, was instantly enraged again: "You... bastard!"
Seeing her about to lose her temper again, Luo Feng quickly said, "Alright, alright, I won't talk about your goddess. If you don't want to go, I'll find an excuse for you. I'll be off then."
Just as Luo Feng was about to leave the dormitory, Aaron said, "Wait!"
Turning around, Luo Feng asked, "What?"
Aaron's eyes twinkled: "I've changed my mind. It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation. If someone thinks of me on their birthday, it means they consider me a friend. I should at least go once, right?"
Luo Feng didn't know why her attitude had suddenly changed, but he was very happy: "That's more like it. You might not like her now, but as you get to know her better, you might develop feelings. They say familiarity breeds affection, right!"
I'll like her in your dreams! Aaron said irritably, "Don't get your hopes up. I just don't want to let her down. Don't think too much into it!"
"Alright, alright, as long as you're willing to go. I'm sure Tracy will be very happy." After telling him the address of the birthday party, Luo Feng left.
Aaron smiled mysteriously. Of course, there was a reason for her change in attitude.
The female mage seemed to be somewhat snobbish. She looked down on Luo Feng, and while his roommate didn't notice, the observant Aaron did.
Now, she had invited Luo Feng to her birthday party.
I wonder what will happen at the party.
Since there's nothing else to do, I might as well go and see what the fuss is about.
The Holy City at night was even more prosperous, especially the high-end entertainment district near the Rhine River. The towers adorned with crystal core lights were like pearls in the night, giving a sense of opulence and glamour.
Tracy was a native of Victoria City and came from a wealthy family. Her birthday party was set in a place called "Moon Ruins."
First, they met up with Aaron at the agreed location, then they went to the Moon Ruins together.
This was a very high-end and luxurious club, situated in the best location by the Rhine River. It lacked the gaudy ostentation of nouveau riche, resembling an ancient castle and exuding a strong sense of civilization. Under the silver moonlight, it added a mysterious aura, like an ancient ruin. The overall structure was grand and magnificent, with exquisite details that no one could fault.
The club was clearly famous, and the people entering and exiting were from the upper class, all dressed in designer clothing and behaving elegantly. It was a world apart from the dwarf bars that Bart used to frequent.
Although Luo Feng had been in Victoria City for some time, this was his first time in such a place. Standing outside the grand castle, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so impressive! Aaron, we didn't come here for nothing. We can really experience the nightlife of the rich!"
Pfft, what's so special about it!
Aaron didn't care at all because the "Moon Ruins" was one of her family's business properties. She had been there so many times since she was a child that she was sick of it.
Of course, Luo Feng had no idea about her noble status. He walked into the castle, marveling at everything, and they eventually arrived at the banquet hall Tracy had reserved.
The banquet hall was interesting, built in an ancient style, grand and imposing, and even indoors, it didn't feel oppressive at all.
Tracy, who usually wore heavy makeup, was even more flamboyantly dressed today, but to be honest, she wasn't that attractive.
Seeing the three of them, she greeted them warmly, "Qiqi, you're here! Come, the party has just started!"
"Tracy, happy birthday!" After wishing her well, Luo Feng praised, "This Moon Ruins is really impressive!"
"Of course, it's one of the best clubs in Victoria City. Not just anyone can book it, even if they have the money. It's only open to people of status!" Tracy was very proud. Her father was a famous mage in the Holy City, and through his connections, he had reserved it more than half a month in advance. It was worth it because all the guests who came had praised the location, which made her feel very honored.
Glancing at Luo Feng, Tracy felt a bit disdainful. He was wearing a very ordinary outfit, not even a tuxedo, and the style looked quite outdated to her.
After all, the guests she invited were all wealthy and dressed formally.
Qiqi, although dressed simply, was a beauty and looked good no matter what she wore. She was also very popular at Saint De College, and many of the guests tonight were there for her, which boosted Tracy's own status, so she didn't mind.
As for Aaron, who was disguised as Aaron, he was also dressed simply, but as a family princess, she had a high sense of style. Even cheap clothes she bought looked good on her, and with his handsome appearance, Tracy, who already had some interest in him, found him more and more appealing.
Only Luo Feng, in her opinion, didn't fit in with her party.
If it weren't for Qiqi's sake and their request, I wouldn't have invited him. He's lowering the standard of my birthday party, hmpf!
