Chapter 1266 The Goddess of the Lake Will Bless You
"No girl would refuse such a romance..."
In order to make himself look less perverted, Lu Zhou tried not to look at the graceful and dancing girls and wives on the dance floor, but concentrated on looking for that special figure among the crowd.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve, so he looked in the direction of the force, but he didn't see anyone.
"Hey, it's here."
A soft call came from below, and Lu Zhou looked down, only to see a little girl about six or seven years old in a foreign dress standing there, looking at him with wide eyes.
But soon, as if she suddenly thought of something, she withdrew her hand to cover her mouth, and muttered slowly.
"Oops, Teacher Paradar told me that an elegant lady can't use such a frivolous way of greeting."
The ups and downs of the tone are like having a piece of candy in your mouth.
Seeing the naive look of the little princess, Lu Zhou couldn't help smiling, looked at her with his hands on his knees, and said politely.
"My lovely princess, may I ask if you got lost with your parents?"
"Nope," shaking her head like a rattle drum, her two auger-like ponytails dangling like springs, Princess Lilian stared at Lu Zhou with her big talking eyes, and continued, "Lillian is here to dance."
"Dance?"
"Yes, respect...Mr. Scholar," the little princess continued to imitate an adult, holding up her skirt and making a court salute, "may I ask you to dance?"
Obviously, the little girl had forgotten her name again.
Looking at the stern but funny movements all the time, Lu Zhou held back his smile and persuaded him.
"Your parents may be worried about you. You'd better find them quickly. I can help you contact the security here."
"No, they don't worry, girls in Sweden dance from birth, and I have the right to choose my own dance partner."
"But... why me?"
"Do you need to ask?" Princess Lilian said confidently with her big emerald eyes wide open, "Lilian can tell that you are the protagonist here, and everyone is looking at you intentionally or unintentionally. I am the most beautiful lady on the dance floor, and of course I have to choose the most handsome gentleman as my partner."
no more.
I can't help it.
Lu Zhou finally couldn't hold back a laugh, but quickly covered it up in a series of dry coughs.
Looking at Lu Zhou who suddenly coughed dryly, Lilian, who had never experienced the dangers of society, thought he had a cold, so she blinked and said worriedly.
"Mr. Scholar, do you need a doctor?"
"No... Your Royal Highness, I don't need a doctor, but I think you need to choose a dance partner who matches your age."
"There are no age-appropriate dance partners here, only some naughty little ghosts. They will only try their best to mess up my braids, just to attract my attention," the little princess pouted and sighed, "Men really It's so stupid."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Just when Lu Zhou was worried about the education of the royal family and started to search the security guards in the hall with his eyes, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw a lady in a black evening dress with exquisite makeup walking towards this side through the crowd.
Her long black hair was coiled in a circle behind her head, and the tail of the black skirt was like obsidian emitting light. Elegance and beauty merged into one at this moment, perhaps because it was so dazzling that not only the surrounding People frequently cast appreciative glances at her, and even Lu Zhou couldn't help staring at her for a while, and didn't even recognize her for a while.
Being stared at by Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan felt a little hot on her cheeks. With her head buried, she quickened her pace and walked to his side, reaching out and grabbing his arm.
"Come with me, let's talk outside the dance floor."
Before Lu Zhou had time to speak, the voice of protest suddenly came from below.
"Hey, he's my partner, and it's rude to take someone else's partner away."
Looking at the little girl who was dissatisfied and pouted, it was only then that Chen Yushan noticed that the little princess she saw at the airport was also here.
Somewhat at a loss, he turned his gaze to Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou responded with her helpless look, then sighed, leaned down again with his hands on his knees, looked at the dissatisfied little girl with pouting lips, and spoke in a gentle tone. Said.
"Sorry, I might have to leave for a while."
"How long is a while?"
"This... I don't know."
"Come back early, you owe me a dance."
"When you grow up, I will definitely pay you back."
Finally getting rid of this pestering little girl, Lu Zhou followed Chen Yushan off the dance floor and walked to the rest area near the door.
After taking two bottles of red wine from the waiter who was carrying the tray, he handed one to Chen Yushan beside him, and then lightly clinked the glasses with her.
Taking a sip to moisten her lips, feeling the slight drunkenness spreading on the tip of her tongue, Chen Yushan looked at the face reflected in the red wine glass, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Aren't you going to dance?"
"...Only the most beautiful girl is worthy of the handsomest knight."
Unable to hold back a trace of laughter, Chen Yushan happily looked at Lu Zhou with a serious face, and said with a smile.
"When did you become so good at making girls happy?"
"Actually, I haven't learned it yet." Lu Zhou shrugged his shoulders helplessly, sank his eyes into the bright red wine, and said with a soft sigh, "Just this sentence, I'm still a six-year-old The little girl taught me."
"Speaking of which, you are really popular with children."
"How many samples are you basing this conclusion on?"
"I just praised you for being able to make girls happy, and you've revealed your true colors..."
"Uh, hug-"
Before he could speak, his lips were blocked by a slender index finger.
"Don't always say you're sorry," Chen Yushan said jokingly with a happy smile on Lu Zhou's cheeks gradually warming up, "Besides, I still like your original style."
original style?
what is that?
Just when Lu Zhou was seriously thinking about what his original style was, Chen Yushan suddenly tugged on his cuffs lightly.
"It's too noisy here, can we go out and sit for a while?"
"Yes, yes," Lu Zhou glanced at her evening dress, "But is it okay for you to dress like this?"
"Stupid," Chen Yushan gave Lu Zhou a blank look, "I have prepared a coat, or how do you think I got here?"
"Then... I'll wait for you here."
"Five minutes is enough! Don't be snatched away by others."
After reminding Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan, who was stepping on high heels, trotted towards the side door of the ballroom. Just as Lu Zhou wanted to remind her to slow down and not fall, that pretty figure had disappeared into the crowd.
among the crowd.
Lu Bangguo, who was standing next to the self-serve dining table, looked around while muttering.
"Where's the son?"
In an instant, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the rest area at the door. As if waiting for someone, Lu Zhou in formal attire was standing there.
Lu Bangguo's eyes lit up, and he was about to go up to call his son, but Fang Mei held him down with one hand.
"Stupid! Look at our son, he is obviously waiting for someone."
Lu Bangguo: "Aren't you waiting for us?"
"Do we need to wait? Haven't seen enough in the hotel? Haven't talked enough in the car? Every day you count on keeping your son by your side, do you still want to hug your grandson?"
"Think! Think!" Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Bangguo nodded again and again, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned, "Can you not think about it?"
Although he has long been mentally prepared to be ashamed of his ancestors, he still wants to see his son go home with a cute little life.
This is almost every father's wish.
Especially for a traditional family, a boy is not considered an adult when he reaches the legal age, and he becomes a man only when he has a family.
Looking at Lao Lu who finally settled down, Fang Mei's mouth curled up into a smile, and the hand that was holding him loosened a bit.
"Then stay here honestly."
"Don't join in the fun before it's time for you to appear on stage!"
...
The snow outside the house did not know when it stopped, but the north wind blowing through the pine forest and tiles was still a bit cold, but Lu Zhou, who was walking by the lake, did not feel cold at all for some reason.
instead,
Some hot?
This strange feeling seems to be the first time——
No, probably not the first time.
It seemed to have happened before, longer than the time on the plane...although it was very faint, so faint that he never paid attention to it.
Originally, these were also irrelevant things.
Human beings are such a troublesome creature, whose heart rate and breathing are controlled by hormones and nerve signals, and emotions are also controlled by heart rate and breathing.
Just when he was trying to figure out where the restlessness in his heart came from, a warm feeling suddenly invaded his pocket and grabbed his hand.
The shoulder twitched subconsciously, but in the end Lu Zhou still didn't take his hand away, but let the warm feeling lead him, and continued to lead his emotions in a direction that was not controlled by rational thinking.
Maybe it's dopamine that gets the upper hand.
Maybe it's a kind of mysterious psionic energy floating in the universe...
But all in all, the feeling didn't bother him.
even a little...
like.
"What are you thinking?"
"... how do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Your eyes tell me all."
Stared at by those lake-like eyes, Lu Zhou's Adam's apple moved slightly. Just when he was about to say something, the senior standing next to him slightly moved his eyes away and turned his gaze to Sky over lake water.
"Look there," she pointed to the sky with her other hand, and she smiled and said, "Aurora."
Looking in the direction her index finger pointed, Lu Zhou's heartstrings trembled slightly.
"..."
The stream of charged particles blown from the sun touched the edge of the earth's magnetic field, turning the deadly rays into soft colors, spreading a rainbow of night in the night sky.
Their thoughts were taken to a place farther than the universe by the beautiful aurora. The two stood by the lake and looked up for a long time.
It wasn't until a wisp of snowflakes floated down from the sky and touched the tip of his nose lightly that Lu Zhou came back to his senses.
"It came from 152 million kilometers away."
"To bring beauty to Earth?"
"...I think it probably didn't take that much into consideration."
The mist melted the snowflakes on the tip of his nose.
But more snowflakes started to fall.
At this time, a soft murmur followed the warm white mist and gently melted into his ears.
"Remember what you promised me?"
Fearing that Lu Zhou would forget, Chen Yushan, who was full of anxiety in her heart, quickly added a sentence, "You said before——"
"If there is a next time, let alone bring you to the banquet, you can ask for whatever you want..." interrupted her, looked at Lu Zhou on the lake, and said softly, "Everything I said I remember a word."
Although it was an unintentional statement at the time...
Lowering her eyes slightly, Chen Yushan whispered.
"Then can I make a wish?"
"Go ahead."
"I want a boyfriend."
The air fell into silence.
For a moment, the silence between the two was like snow on the treetops.
I waited for a minute in anxiety, but this minute seemed as long as a century.
The anxious expression gradually climbed into a trace of loneliness. She tried to express her heart for the first time, and a forced smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Sure enough, forget it, I'm just playing for fun—"
"I won't introduce you to boyfriends."
Withdrawing his gaze from the lake, Lu Zhou looked at the eyes as clear as the lake.
Although there is no aurora there.
There is no magnificent scene either.
But he did see with his eyes where the feeling that made his heart beat was coming from.
"...Do you think I can do it?"
