This rule was a little immoral, wasn't it?
What if someone drew a bathroom? Did that person have to let others poop or pee on them? That was heartless.
What was even more infuriating was that Colin and I wasted more than an hour just to dress up meticulously. Our efforts were totally wasted. We were busy for nothing.
That made me so angry that I really wanted to beat Xavier up and wished that he drew a character like a monk so that I could shave off his hair.
Xavier was such a ruthless young man. How did the professor give birth to such a person? He was so mischievous, the complete opposite of the professor's noble character. I really doubted if he was the professor's biological son. If he was, then there had to be a genetic mutation.
I reluctantly changed into formal attire with a heart full of dissatisfaction and helplessly went to the party. I guessed we just had to go with the flow and problem-solve on the spot if something unacceptable really happened.
The birthday party was arranged by the Kings. Whether it was the venue or the decorations, and even the guests, were way grander than Jasmine's. Even though I didn't know most of the guests, just from their clothing and behavior, it was clear that they were in a different league.
When we got out of the car, we immediately saw Xavier waiting at the door. He was dressed like a turkey, with a cockscomb on his head. He kept cackling and greeting people with a big smile, but it was stiff and tinged with annoyance.
As a young man in his prime and on his own birthday, he should be partying with his friends or classmates. How could he have the patience to stand there like an idiot and repeat those words over and over again?
It was clear that from his annoyance, someone was pressuring him to do so, forcing him to suppress his temper and stand there obediently.
When he saw us getting out of the car, his eyes lit up. He immediately bounced over to greet us, leaving behind the couple who were talking to him. He hopped over like an energized rabbit.
