Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 101 The Clown Is Actually Myself

The evening bell of the Zodiac Basement rang, and the dim sunset had merged into half of the coastline in the sky.

Li Lin sorted out his image, and under the arrangement of Mrs. Karina, he and Jess came to the reception hall of the side house to entertain guests.

It's just that both of them don't like this kind of aristocratic social occasion, so they stand together in a corner where no one pays attention to fish and chat.

"Hey, you are finally willing to comb your messy hair." Jess stared at Li Lin's hair and joked in a teasing tone.

"You can put it down, but you still have the nerve to talk about me because of your big oily hair that you put on hair fixer every day?" Li Lin deliberately showed a disgusted look.

"Tch, there are quite a few girls in the academy who are obsessed with me and strike up a conversation with me..."

"Then when I chatted with you, I was scared away by your rudeness?"

"What did you say..." Jess raised his eyebrows, as if he had been hit by the words, his face darkened slightly, "Is that what you say?"

Li Lin looked at him with pity, "What do you usually look like, do you have no Berserker in your heart?"

"Uh, Barsaka...what is it?" Jess's eyes flashed with doubt.

Li Lin, a kid, likes to make up some weird and incomprehensible words every day.

"It doesn't always feel like a good word..."

"I said you don't have any clues in your heart, but you really don't know yourself." Li Lin sighed helplessly, "Don't you feel that your social circle is getting smaller and smaller?"

Jess snorted, "Why do you need such a large social circle? Apart from you and Victor among your peers, the other guys in the academy are a bunch of trash."

"Not everyone is a genius like you... You should slow down and let them catch up with your ideas."

Li Lin persuaded earnestly, but Jess did not intend to change himself.

"They don't understand such a simple concept, how dare they call themselves scientists?"

He pouted, his face full of disdain.

After a pause, Jess sighed, "Forget it, don't talk about it, you can't let this ruin your good mood."

Your temper is really more stubborn than a cow, and it is exactly the same as the one described in the background...

The corner of Li Lin's mouth twitched, and he changed the subject, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it... What gift are you going to give Kate tonight?"

A look of excitement appeared on Jace's face as soon as he talked about it.

"I recently made a master key that can easily open most of the locks in Piltover, even Hex treasure chests."

Ah this...

Are you going to let Caitlin change her job to become a thief?

Also, is it really appropriate to give this kind of thing at a coming-of-age ceremony? !

Li Lin's face was full of black lines, and he was speechless at Jess' lack of EQ.

"Uh...it's pretty good, but you can't make random things like this."

"Of course, I'm not stupid." Jess shook his head, "Even if I want to apply for a patent for mass production of this thing, the Academy and Piltover Police will not agree."

The two chatted for a while, until Jess saw a familiar figure.

"Hey Li Lin, look, isn't that Victor?"

Li Lin followed the direction he pointed and looked towards the door of the living room. A thin man leaning on a cane and well dressed looked a little uneasy and scanned the lively hall back and forth.

"Come on, let's go."

Jess waved to Li Lin happily, but he grabbed him just in time, "Wait a minute!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Who is that?"

Li Lin pointed to a girl who was also wearing a red and white delicate evening dress with an obvious preppy style, slightly dark skin, and a pair of bronze-rimmed glasses on her face.

With a joyful expression on her face, she walked up to Victor and talked to him for a few words, and then his tense expression eased a bit.

"Skye, she's Victor's assistant now, don't you even recognize her?" Jess glanced at Li Lin in surprise.

"That's Skye?!" A slight surprise appeared on Li Lin's face.

Because he often went to the academy to find Victor for research, Li Lin had a deep impression of Skye, who was also born in Zaun and was the same age as him, beside him.

The uncontrollable admiration in her eyes could be felt even by someone who was insensitive to emotion.

It's a pity that Victor's attention is all focused on scientific research and inventions every day, and he completely ignores the girl beside him who has special feelings for him.

Today, Skye dressed up so beautifully that even Li Lin couldn't recognize him, probably just to attract Victor's attention...

"I think we'd better not go there..."

Li Lin grabbed Jess who still wanted to go to them, and shook his head at him.

"why?"

Jess is also a piece of wood when it comes to emotions, or he doesn't care about the relationship between men and women at all, and he doesn't understand Li Lin's intentions at all.

Li Lin resisted the desire to complain in his heart, "Are you going to be a light bulb in the past?"

"The light bulb...is the light bulb you invented that requires alternating current to turn on?" Jess scratched his cheek, "What's so strange about being a light bulb?"

Zhuo, it's really exhausting to communicate with you!
Li Lin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the desire to hit someone, "Skye likes Victor, can't you see it?"

Hearing what he said, Jace rubbed his chin and looked at Victor with a scrutinizing look.

After a while, a sudden look flashed across his face, "Eh? It seems so..."

"So let's leave them alone."

Just as Li Lin finished speaking, a familiar female voice sounded beside them.

"May the gears turn, Jess, and Mr. Li Lin."

The two turned their heads at the same time, only to see a woman wearing white as the main color, supplemented by yellow and black accessories, and a string of eye-catching crystal necklaces on her slender neck standing three or four steps away from them.

She was dragging a transparent goblet made of champagne in her hand, with a polite and indifferent smile on her face.

It was Mel Mirdard.

"May the gears turn clockwise, Mr. Myrdalda." Li Lin immediately restrained his expression and greeted him politely.

"I told you, just call me Mel."

Mel's eyes stayed on Li Lin for a short while, and then moved to Jess.

"Mel, why are you here so early?"

Jess's affectionate address for Mel stunned Li Lin.

what's going on?
"I'm still a young man, so I can't come here at the same time as those old guys." Mel covered his mouth and chuckled, with a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Immediately, she said to the two of them in a teasing tone, but more importantly, she said to Jess:
"Member Gilaman asked you to entertain guests. Is this your work attitude?"

"Hey, Mel, you're not saying that right..."

Jess smiled and chatted with Mel, both intentionally or unintentionally ignored Li Lin who was stunned and speechless, and the content of the conversation became more and more ambiguous.

Even the distance has been shortened a lot, and they are almost stuck together.

If it weren't for this corner that is not very eye-catching, perhaps the eyes of the guests who have already arrived at the reception hall will be attracted to them.

Their behavior and behavior are completely made by lovers...

Li Lin didn't say hello, and stayed away from the two people who gave him a heavy blow to his "young" heart in silence.

It seemed that Jess had hooked up with Mel.

Plus Victor, who had a hot chat with Skye on the other side.

Li Lin suddenly discovered that among the three of them, he was the only one without a female companion...

The clown was myself! !
