Meeting Mobius's puzzled eyes, Levi chuckled.
"Of course it's for you. Don't you think wearing this would be very cute?"
'Cute?'
Mobius's eyelid twitched slightly. She didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the car.
She said to Levi sitting in the back, "You keep that thing yourself. I'm not going to wear it."
"Come on~ This is my lifelong request! Dr. Mei!"
No longer calling her Miss Mei, now he started calling her Dr. Mei again.
Mobius was already too lazy to correct how he addressed her. She started the car, firmly shook her head, and said in a determined tone, "If you want me to wear that, it's impossible in this lifetime!"
'Even if I die! Die right here! Jump off here! I will never wear this kind of thing in my life!'
"Come on come on come on…"
"Wait! Don't get so close! I'm driving!"
Mobius sounded a bit flustered.
"My ears! Don't blow air at my ears!"
"Don't lick my face!"
"Your saliva got on me!!!"
"I'll wear it!"
———
The sedan slowly drove into a luxurious villa in the suburbs.
After stopping, a neatly dressed attendant stepped forward, opened the car door, and guided the two inside the banquet venue.
After bringing them in, the attendant left with a standard smile.
When leaving, he couldn't help casting a strange glance at Mobius.
Noticing the genuine reaction from the attendant when he left, Mobius couldn't help covering her face with both hands.
Blanca had picked a dress for her, telling her not to lose face as a doctor.
But it got completely ruined in "Elysia's" hands.
Now forget losing face, after this banquet she might as well have a layer of her face peeled off.
"Hehe… See, I told you it's very cute."
Cute enough that even that well trained attendant couldn't help looking twice.
'Cute my big head ghost!'
Mobius glared fiercely at the smiling Levi.
"By the way, why didn't you wear the dress I bought for you?"
At this moment, Levi was still in that "plain" outfit. The clothes Mobius gave him hadn't been changed into.
She looked over his clothes, not understanding why he was still wearing this when there was something better.
Levi scratched his head. "Wasn't I worried about stealing your spotlight?"
Mobius looked completely unconvinced. "Do you think I'll believe that?"
Elysia also asked in her heart, "Yeah, such a nice outfit, why not wear it?"
'Don't tell me you got shy!'
Levi sneered inwardly. 'Shy?'
'I'm a man who could run completely naked on the busiest street in Luofu!'
'Even though I haven't done it yet…'
'Doesn't stop me from having the guts!'
"I can't just let the 1000 yuan you spent go to waste."
"How would it!"
Even if not today, she would have time later to wear it.
Like when going to hang out at Levi's place.
After hearing Elysia's words, Levi's expression became a bit strange.
"Don't you know? The dress you're wearing is disposable."
"?"
Elysia slowly typed a question mark in her mind. "What do you mean?"
'Such a beautiful outfit, how is it disposable?'
After Levi explained, Elysia completely fell silent.
The word disposable kept echoing in her mind.
'So I spent so much money on something disposable?'
'Ah… my heart hurts so much!'
After finishing the conversation with Elysia, the two slowly walked into the banquet hall.
Inside the spacious hall was a long table filled with all kinds of food and pastries.
They looked very tempting.
But no one touched them.
The guests gathered in small groups, holding red wine glasses and occasionally taking a sip.
With obviously fake smiles on their faces, they chatted politely with each other.
And it wasn't just a few people. Everyone was like this.
Seeing this, a trace of disgust appeared on Mobius's face, but she still had to stay. After all, it was said this banquet was very important.
Something related to the world's overall situation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come at all.
And definitely wouldn't have invited Elysia.
When people saw Mobius appear, many looked over with polite smiles.
But after noticing what she was wearing, their smiles stiffened slightly.
Only for a moment though. Soon they returned to normal.
'Freak!'
The word appeared in their minds at the same time.
They all knew Mobius's odd personality.
Deep down they disliked this kind of outlier, some extreme ones even thought Mobius wasn't human at all.
But at this banquet, they couldn't show it.
Because they still needed to rely on her genius mind to solve problems for them and for the world.
Looking at the people coming up to talk to her, Mobius secretly sneered.
How could she not know what they were thinking? But at the same time, she also needed the funding from these fools to carry out her research.
So Mobius put on the fake smile she hated, picked up a wine glass from a servant's tray, and joined their circle.
Compared to the attention Mobius received, Levi, as the person she brought in, didn't attract much notice.
Those with status had already gone to flatter Mobius.
In their eyes, someone following Mobius while dressed plainly like him wasn't worth mentioning at all.
But that was exactly the result he wanted.
He didn't want to be surrounded by people making awkward small talk.
Didn't you see Mobius's hanging hand almost clenching into collapse.
After being squeezed out by more and more people gathering, Levi saw a servant offering a wine glass and didn't reach out to take it.
Politely he said, "I don't drink alcohol. Could you give me juice instead?"
Such a small request was naturally fulfilled.
Before long, Levi held a cup with both hands and found a quiet corner seat where fewer people were around.
Bored, he watched Mobius surrounded at the center.
"As expected of the world famous Mobius. Even at this level of banquet she still becomes the main focus."
Levi took small sips of juice.
By now, Elysia had already realized the level of this banquet.
Those gathered around Mobius were all people she had seen on TV.
Every single one held high power and status.
To describe it simply, one finger from them could crush me.
"Feeling a bit sad. I thought this outfit of mine would attract lots of attention…"
Elysia's depressed voice sounded by his ear.
"And Mobius left both of us behind to chat with those people… This banquet is really boring."
Originally she planned to have Levi drag Mobius around eating and drinking like crazy, stuffing her full.
Instead it ended up with her alone in the corner watching Mobius in a daze.
All that careful preparation failed to attract anyone's attention. Even Mobius, who invited her, left her aside.
Elysia felt a bit down.
[Ding dong!]
[Kiana: So hungry… I'm so hungry I can't sleep!!!]
Seeing Kiana suddenly appear in the chat group and realizing she still wasn't asleep, Levi looked at the long table filled with food in the middle of the hall.
An idea popped into his mind.
[Levi: Want to come over here? There's lots of tasty food~]

[Kiana: !!!]
