Chapter 430

She lowered her head and pondered for a long time. After she was fully prepared, she looked up at Orson and said with a blushing face: "That... Orson, our class will hold a masked ball two nights later. I... I need a male partner, so can you... can you..."

"Isn't it Lit?" Orson said doubtfully.

Although he knew that Lit was a girl, others didn't know it yet.

"Lit will accompany Lena, so..."

"But you have to know that I am your sister's fiancé. If I am your male partner, even if it is just a ball, it is inevitable that Luo will gossip."

"It doesn't matter. Everyone will wear masks at that time, and no one will know each other. You just need to not introduce yourself and you will be fine. Don't worry about being discovered."

"..." Hearing Lianka say this, Orson rubbed his chin and began to think about whether this matter is feasible.

Lianka is his sister-in-law after all. It stands to reason that if there is help, he will help, but this situation is quite special. Will Olivia care?

Why don't you tell Olivia?

Just when Orson was thinking this, Lianka seemed to be able to see through Orson's mind, and hurriedly said: "Ah... By the way, Orson, can you please not tell your sister about this..."

"Huh? How do you know I want to tell Olivia?"

"Because you are my future brother-in-law after all."

"Since you know, why don't you let me tell Olivia?"

"Because... because..." Lianka stuttered, and then said: "Because my sister doesn't know about this, and I don't want my sister to know that I can't find a male companion and make her laugh."

It turns out that she is good at face.

This is indeed in line with Lianka's character.

After all, for such a lady from the upper class, there are indeed many men who flatter and curry favor with the powerful around her.

"Then why don't you find someone else, Lianka?"

"Orson, do you think it would be better for me to find someone else?" Lianka asked back.

Orson was silent.

With Lianka's arrogant character, she really seems to look down on ordinary men.

Yes, even if the students of the Imperial Academy are all elites outside, they are all ordinary people in Lianka's eyes, or in Orson's eyes.

And in Orson's eyes, he does think that the excellent and talented Lianka is not worthy of ordinary men.

This can be regarded as the protection of the brother-in-law to the sister-in-law.

"Okay, okay, I know." Orson nodded. "What about the time and place?"

"I... I will come to you, Orson, but I have to wait until Lit and Lena leave first."

"Okay." Orson nodded when he heard this.

"Well, see you later." Lianka then waved and said goodbye to Orson.

I always feel that Lianka's motives seem to be more than this.

No, how did she know that I went out in the morning?

Orson thought doubtfully, and then walked into the dormitory.

In the dormitory, Lena was sitting with Lit. Lit was tutoring Lena's homework, after all, the latter was behind a semester.

"Orson, you are back?" Lit turned around and looked at Orson, smiling.

"Hey, big brother, why didn't I see you in the teaching building after class?" Lena asked curiously.

"I have something to do today, so I asked for a leave." After explaining, Orson sat opposite the two.

"Lite, are you helping Lena review her homework?"

"Well, Lena is very smart. According to the current progress, the theoretical classes that she didn't take last semester can be passed this semester." Lit praised Lena, and Lena's ears trembled, looking very happy.

"Hehe~" She smiled foolishly.

"Not bad, there is progress." Orson said this and touched Lena's head.

Lena also moved her head closer like a little animal.

Seeing this scene, Lit felt a little jealous for some reason, pouted and looked at Orson, without saying a word.

Seeing Lit like this, Orson smiled, reached out his hand, and also touched Lit's head.

"Lit, you've worked hard too."

"By the way." At this time, Orson suddenly asked: "Lit, is your class going to hold a masquerade in two days?"

"Ah, yes." Lit nodded. "Not just our class, but the entire first grade."

"It seems that in order to promote students' social communication skills, the entire first grade will hold this event, and the specific location is in a restaurant on campus."

"A restaurant that can accommodate nearly a thousand people? That seems to be a big event."

"Well, everyone needs to bring their own dance partner at that time. I see that Lena doesn't know much about these, and I am about the same, so I will temporarily form a pair with her."

"That's good." Orson said.

"By the way, Orson, has anyone invited you to be her dance partner? You are so popular, I guess many girls would be happy to invite you?"

"Uh... not yet." Orson wanted to talk about Lianka, but suddenly remembered that Lianka asked him not to tell anyone, so he concealed it.

Chapter 57: The pain of growing up

Two days passed quickly. That afternoon, after Lit and Lena finished their classes, they returned to the dormitory and began to change into the clothes they needed to wear for the dance tonight.

Standing in her bedroom, Litt looked at the men's suit in front of her and sighed helplessly.

She glanced down.

It happened that she was growing up now, and her chest had grown quite big from the slight improvement when she just entered the house.

When she usually wears clothes, Litt will choose looser clothes so that the rise and fall of her chest will not be noticed by others, but the situation today is different. She must wear this kind of slim dress to attend the masquerade.

"Really, why did I agree to accompany Lena..." Litt complained.

"Litt? Haven't you changed yet? Lena is waiting for you at the door." At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Orson's voice came in.

"That... wait a little longer, it will be fine in a while."

"Okay, I'll talk to Lena for you first." Orson nodded outside the door, then walked downstairs, looking at Lena sitting in the living room, showing an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Lena, Lit is a little slow in changing clothes, please wait a moment."

"It's okay." Lena was very considerate at this moment, she smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was okay.

After a few minutes, Orson was still ready to go upstairs to see Lit's situation.

"Lit, are you not ready yet?"

"No... not ready yet..." Lit said anxiously.

She was almost wrapped up, but when Orson opened his mouth, the cloth strips she had just wrapped loosened again, which could be said to be a failure.

But Lena couldn't wait downstairs for too long, Lit could only helplessly seek Orson's help.

"That... Orson, can you come in and help me?"

"Okay." Orson nodded, and then opened the door directly.

Then, seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned.

Lit had his back to him, his entire upper body was clean and empty, with only his hair scattered behind him.

She held the cloth strips used to wrap her chest in her hands, but it was obvious that perhaps because she had developed better, or perhaps because she had not worn formal clothes for a long time, she had encountered some problems in wrapping the cloth strips.

"Leet, you are..." Orson was stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this time, Lena's voice came from far away.

"Big brother, is Leet not well yet?"

Hearing the sound of Lena coming upstairs, Orson immediately closed the door and locked it.

"Well, sorry, Lena, wait a moment."

Then, he came to Leet and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"I... I don't know..." Leet said shyly with a blushing face.

"It was obviously smooth before, but it seems that because I have eaten too well recently... I have grown some meat on my chest, so it's... It's a bit difficult to wrap it..."

"Orson, please help me, I'll wrap it in front, and you help me in the back, just make it whole and not fall apart."

"Okay." Hearing this, Orson could only nod helplessly.

Speaking of which, Li Te is indeed true. When he first joined the family, he looked more androgynous because of poor living conditions in the countryside and a hint of malnutrition. Now, I don’t know whether it is because he is getting older or his nutrition is not up to par, but it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain a neutral look. This is not only in his appearance and temperament, but also in his figure.

"Orson, don’t look around." With this, Li Te blushed and put down his arm that was blocking his chest, and began to tidy up the cloth strips in front of him.

In order to make it easier to wrap it, Li Te sat in front of the mirror. If he was alone, it would be fine, but now there is an extra Orson. If Orson looks in the mirror in front of him, it is easy to see something he shouldn’t see.

"I know." Orson nodded, and then looked elsewhere.

"Well, Orson, help me lift my hair up..." Li Te said after tidying up the cloth strips.

After all, Li Te’s hair is still a little long. If it is just hanging down like this, it will be uncomfortable to get tangled in the hair.

Orson heard and did as he was told.

But Orson was still much taller than Litt after all. Orson, who was sitting behind Litt, could not help but see the mirror when he turned his head.

Fortunately, Litt put his hands in front of his chest in time to avoid embarrassment between the brother and sister.

"Well, Orson, help me pass this strip of cloth from the other side." Litt wrapped a strip of cloth from the front and then said to Orson.

Orson took the strip of cloth, then passed it around Litt's smooth back and handed it to Litt from the other side.

With the help of others, Litt's wrapping action was indeed much smoother, and soon, the hillock on the girl's chest became a plain.

Even Orson couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

Although the two inevitably had some skin contact during the process, some of which even made Litt couldn't help but hum, but you didn't say anything, and neither of them said anything.

"Okay, thank you Orson." Litt said so, took the dress on the hanger and put it on.

"Okay, Lena is still waiting downstairs, you should go with Lena, it's your first social event, you can't make any mistakes."

"Okay." Lit nodded, then hurried downstairs.

Looking at Lit's back, Orson couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Lit, she has really grown up.

Orson stood at the stairs and heard Lit apologize to Lena downstairs, and then the two rushed to the ball.

Shortly after the two left, Orson also changed into an evening gown and then put on a mask.

Compared with the mask at the ball, the one Orson wore covered a wider area, after all, he didn't want to be seen by others.

As expected, the door was knocked.

Orson walked to the door and opened it.

At the door, a beautifully dressed girl appeared in front of him.

[img=7g]

Lianka looked at Orson who had already put on a mask, and was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why are you wearing a mask now, Orson?"

"Isn't this to prevent others from recognizing me on the road?" Orson explained, and then examined Lianka's outfit in front of him.

"Lianka, you are dressed very beautifully today."

"Hmph, that's natural. Do you really need to judge my taste?" Lianka was praised by Orson. Although she was a little happy in her heart, she still pretended to be dissatisfied and turned her head away.

However, her slightly red face and the faint smile she showed had already exposed her mood.

Chapter 58: Grabbing a dance partner

"I don't know where the address of the dance is. Can you take me there?"

"Yes." Lianka nodded, then walked in front of Orson and led the way for Orson.
