"No girl would refuse such romance …"
In order to make himself look less perverted, Lu Zhou tried not to look at the graceful girls and ladies on the dance floor. Instead, he focused on looking for the special figure in the crowd.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve, so he looked in the direction of the tug, but he didn't see anyone.
"Hey, it's here."
A soft voice came from below. Lu Zhou looked down and saw a little girl in a dress. She was about six or seven years old, and she was looking at him with her eyes wide open.
But soon, she seemed to suddenly think of something. She retracted her hand, covered her mouth, and muttered slowly.
"Oh no, Teacher Palladar told me that an elegant lady shouldn't use such a frivolous way of greeting."
Her voice went up and down as if she had a piece of candy in her mouth.
Looking at the little princess's naive look, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile. He looked at her with his hands on his knees and spoke politely.
"Your Royal Highness, may I ask if you've lost your parents?"
"No." Princess Lillian shook her head like a rattle. Her two corkscrew ponytails swayed like springs. She stared at Lu Zhou with her big eyes and said, "Lillian is here to dance."
"Dance?"
"Yes, dear … Mr. Scholar." The little princess gently raised her skirt and continued, "May I ask you to dance?"
Obviously, this little girl had forgotten her own name again.
Lu Zhou held back his laughter and tried to persuade her.
"Your parents may be worried about you. It's better for you to find them quickly. I can help you contact the security guards here."
"No, they won't worry. Swedish girls are born to dance, and I have the right to choose my own dance partner."
"But … why me?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Princess Lillian widened her emerald eyes and said confidently, "Lillian can see that you are the protagonist here. Everyone is looking at you intentionally or unintentionally. And I am the most beautiful lady on the dance floor, so of course I have to choose the most handsome gentleman as my partner. "
He couldn't take it anymore.
He could not hold it in any longer.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but let out a laugh, but he quickly covered it up with a series of dry coughs.
Looking at Lu Zhou coughing all of a sudden, Lilian, who hadn't experienced the dangers of society, thought that he had caught a cold. She blinked and said worriedly.
"Mr. Scholar, do you need a doctor?"
"No … Your Highness, I don't need a doctor, but I think you need to choose a partner that matches your age."
"There are no age-appropriate dance partners here, only some naughty kids. They will only think of ways to mess up my braids, just to get my attention. "The little princess pouted and sighed." Men are really too stupid. "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Just when Lu Zhou was worried about the education of the royal family and began to look for the security guards in the hall, a familiar voice suddenly floated over from not far away.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a lady in a black evening gown with exquisite makeup walking through the crowd towards him.
Her long black hair was coiled into a circle at the back of her head, and the black skirt was like a shining obsidian. At this moment, elegance and beauty were combined into one. Perhaps because her appearance was too dazzling, not only did the people around her frequently cast appreciative gazes at her, but even Lu Zhou couldn't help but stare at her for a while. For a while, he couldn't even recognize her.
Being stared at by Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan felt her cheeks slightly hot. She lowered her head and walked faster to his side. She reached out and pulled his arm.
"Come with me, let's talk outside the dance floor."
Before Lu Zhou had time to speak, a voice of protest suddenly came from below.
"Hey, he's my dance partner. It's very rude to steal someone else's dance partner."
Looking at the dissatisfied little girl, Chen Yushan finally noticed that the little princess she saw at the airport was also here.
Somewhat at a loss, she looked at Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou responded with a helpless look, then sighed, leaned down with his hands on his knees again, looked at the dissatisfied little girl, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Sorry, I may have to leave for a while."
"How long is a while?"
"This … I don't know."
"Come back soon, you owe me a dance."
"When you grow up, I will definitely return it to you."
Finally getting rid of this annoying little girl, Lu Zhou left the dance floor with Chen Yushan and walked to the resting area near the door.
He took two bottles of red wine from the waiter holding the tray, handed one to Chen Yushan next to him, and gently clinked glasses with her.
Chen Yushan moistened her lips and felt the tipsy spread on the tip of her tongue. She looked at the face reflected in the red wine glass, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Aren't you going to dance?"
"… Only the most beautiful girl is worthy of the most handsome knight."
Chen Yushan couldn't help but let out a laugh. She happily looked at Lu Zhou with a serious expression and smiled.
"When did you become so good at making girls happy?"
"Actually, I haven't learned it yet." Lu Zhou shrugged helplessly. He sank his eyes into the bright red wine and sighed softly. "This sentence was taught to me by a six-year-old girl."
"Speaking of which, you are really popular with children."
"How many samples did you come to this conclusion?"
"I just praised you for making girls happy, and now you're showing your true colors …"
"Uh-"
Before he could speak, his lips were blocked by a slender index finger.
"Don't always say sorry." Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou's cheeks gradually warming up, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She joked, "Also, I quite 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 gently pulled on his cuff.
"It's too noisy here, let's go out and sit for a while, okay?"
"Sure." Lu Zhou glanced at her evening dress and said, "But is it okay for you to dress like this?"
"Stupid." Chen Yushan rolled her eyes at Lu Zhou and said, "I prepared a coat. Otherwise, how do you think I got here?"
"Then … I'll wait for you here."
"Just five minutes! Don't let anyone else take it away. "
Chen Yushan reminded Lu Zhou and jogged toward the side door of the ballroom in her high heels. Lu Zhou was about to remind her to slow down, but she had already disappeared into the crowd.
Among the crowd.
Lu Bangguo, who was standing next to the self-service table, muttered and looked around.
"Where's our son?"
In an instant, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the resting area at the entrance. It was like he was waiting for someone. Lu Zhou was standing there in a formal suit.
Lu Bangguo's eyes lit up. He was about to go up and call his son, but Fang Mei stopped him.
"Stupid! Look at our son, he's obviously waiting for someone. "
Lu Bangguo: "Isn't he waiting for us?"
"Do we need to wait? Didn't we see enough at the hotel? Didn't we talk enough in the car? Do you still want to hold your grandson by your side every day? "
"Yes! Yes! " Hearing this, Lu Bangguo nodded repeatedly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously widening. "How can I not think about it?"
Although he had already mentally prepared himself to face his ancestors, he still wanted to see his son bring home a cute little life.
This was almost every father's dream.
Especially for a traditional family, a boy was not considered an adult when he reached the legal age. Only when he got married could he be considered a man.
Fang Mei looked at Old Lu, who finally calmed down, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Then stay here obediently."
"It's not time for you to show up yet, don't get involved!"
…
The snow outside the house had stopped, but the wind was still cold. However, Lu Zhou, who was walking by the lake, didn't feel cold at all.
Instead …
A little hot?
This is the first time I've felt this strange …
No, this isn't the first time.
I've felt this way before, even longer than the time on the plane … Even though it was very weak, so weak that I never took it seriously.
Originally, these were all insignificant matters.
Humans were troublesome creatures. Their heart rate and breathing were controlled by hormones and nerve signals, and their emotions were controlled by their heart rate and breathing.
Just as he was trying to figure out where the restlessness in his heart came from, a warm feeling suddenly invaded his pocket and held his hand.
His shoulders twitched. In the end, Lu Zhou didn't take his hand away. Instead, he let the warm feeling take him and continue to lead his emotions in a direction that was not controlled by rational thinking.
Maybe it's dopamine.
Maybe it's a mysterious psionic power wandering in the universe …
But in short, he didn't hate this feeling.
He kind of …
Liked it.
"What are you thinking?"
"How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Your eyes tell me everything."
Lu Zhou's throat moved slightly. Just when he was about to say something, Chen Yushan, who was standing next to him, gently moved her eyes away and looked at the sky above the lake.
"Look there." She pointed to the sky with her other hand and said with a smile, "The aurora."
Looking in the direction of her index finger, Lu Zhou's heart trembled slightly.
"…"
The stream of charged particles blowing from the sun touched the edge of the Earth's magnetic field, turning the deadly rays into a soft color, spreading a rainbow in the night sky.
The beautiful aurora brought their thoughts to a place even farther than the universe. The two of them stood by the lake and looked up for a long time.
It wasn't until a snowflake floated down from the sky and gently touched the tip of his nose that Lu Zhou came back to his senses.
"It came from 152 million kilometers away."
"To bring beauty to Earth?"
"… I don't think it thought that much."
The mist melted the snowflake on the tip of his nose.
But more snowflakes began to fall.
At this moment, a soft murmur drifted into his ears along with the warm white mist.
"Do you still remember what you promised me?"
Afraid that Lu Zhou would forget, Chen Yushan, who was full of anxiety, quickly said, "You said before —"
"If there is a next time, forget about taking you to a banquet, you can make any request you want …" Lu Zhou interrupted her. He looked at the lake and said softly, "I remember every word I said."
Even though it was an unintentional remark at that time …
Chen Yushan lowered her eyes and whispered.
"Then can I make a wish?"
"Go ahead."
"I want a boyfriend."
The atmosphere fell into silence.
For a while, the silence between the two was like the snow on the treetops.
He waited anxiously for a minute, but this minute felt as long as a century.
A trace of desolation gradually crept up her nervous expression. This was the first time she tried to speak her mind, and a forced smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Forget it, I'm just kidding —"
"I won't introduce you to a boyfriend."
Lu Zhou looked away from the lake and looked at her clear eyes.
Even though there was no aurora.
There were no magnificent scenes either.
But he did confirm with his eyes where the feeling that made his heart beat faster came from.
"Do you think I can?"
