The Fashion Emperor of the Federation, the absolute dominator of Hong Kong's perfume-filled streets, Mr. Lanford, had once expressed to the media indignantly that it was fortunate that Jian Shui'er only wore her student uniform or the dark blue Federal Fleet female officer uniform on TV. Based on her usual fashion sense, she should definitely be thrown into a space garbage disposal pod, never to be seen by anyone.
But on the day of his speech, Mr. Lanford personally called the reporters and sent them red wine, sincerely requesting that his speech not be published in the newspapers. This was because he began to regret it when he woke up. Aside from some unspeakable pressure, this Fashion Emperor had to admit that he greatly admired Jian Shui'er's straightforward personality and infinite charm on TV.
Most importantly, even if the national idol wore bright red bloomers and a green double-curtain tight skirt, as long as her flawless beautiful face and that head of slightly fluffy purple hair were not covered, it was enough to attract anyone's attention. She was born with a clear face, so why did she need the so-called fashion sense to carve it?
Xu Le never read fashion magazines, so he did not know that the Federation's fashion circle hated this national idol for her incompetence, sighed helplessly at her natural gemstone-like brilliance, and felt deeply moved. But when he saw the girl under the starlight looking back, he suddenly had the same feeling.
The girl's nose was straight, her lips were soft, her eyes were bright, and her eyelashes were long and thin. When she blinked, it was as if she wanted to soften everyone's heart.
Although she was already in her twenties and was no longer the pure and innocent little girl who made thousands of uncles crazy when she first appeared on channel 23, she had just entered the most charming stage of a young girl. Her body was wrapped in a coarse-woven hemp garment, and her tender, white, round legs were exposed, exuding a heart-stopping beauty.
Beauty was everywhere and not rare, but every description of every detail, every kind of praise, when it came to this girl, was close to a miracle... Not to mention, her head of purple hair was soft when it should be, and vigorous when it should be. The expression on her moving face was innocent when it should be, and angry when it should be. Every little curve of her wrinkled face was so soul-stirring.
As the saying goes, 'appropriate anger, appropriate joy, appropriate light makeup, appropriate heavy makeup', it was probably referring to her.
This was a person who possessed all the spirit of creation and made people feel close to her. She should only appear in the imagination of humans or in cartoons drawn based on their imagination, but she appeared on the screen at the age of twelve and caused countless waves in the Federation.
In the boring life of the Eastwoods Region, Jian Shui'er was the greatest spiritual sustenance for all the unemployed miners and orphans. Their feelings for her were much deeper than those of the average citizen of the Federation. Xu Le had clearly come into contact with her more than a year ago, but when he saw this scene, he saw the girl in the starlight looking back at him indifferently, with a trace of anger in her eyes, and a circle of extremely cute wrinkles on her brows …
His heart buzzed, crushed by some kind of numbness, as if it was going to stop beating. He was completely unable to react. In front of the girl in the oil painting, even the thickest nerves would short-circuit. In front of this girl in the oil painting, even the most powerful first-order machine would stop operating in front of such a faint gaze.
After seven seconds of silence, Xu Le's mind suddenly recalled what Jian Shui'er had said. His heart, which was about to return to normal, once again exploded.
"Blind date?"
When Xu Le encountered a critical moment, he always habitually narrowed his eyes, letting his eyes shine, and then said some dirty words. But today, he suddenly encountered a great stimulation, which was very different from his usual interest. Even his voice was so sharp that it changed a little bit.
…
…
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the girl in the chair three meters away in disbelief. His tongue was stiff as if it had been electrocuted, and he shouted vaguely, "F * ck! M-M-M-What? "
Jian Shui'er obviously did not regard herself as the so-called leader of the Jade Girls Sect. Her hands tightly grasped the back of the rotating chair, and she stared at Xu Le without showing any weakness. She angrily puffed up her pink cheeks, knitted her eyebrows and repeated, "Blind date."
Xu Le took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with the fastest speed, and rubbed his eyebrows hard to make sure that he was not in the wonderful dark dream that the old woman had woven. The big star in front of him would not be so bored as to use this kind of thing to tease him. Standing in the same place, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he did not know what was going on at all.
"You don't know?"
Jian Shui'er slightly lowered her head to look at him, trying to nail Xu Le to the wall with two vicious eyes … However, her eyelashes were too long, and her eyes were too bright and soft. Although she was not shy when she lowered her head, she looked more cute.
"I don't know." Xu Le felt that his lips were a little dry. He stared blankly at the girl in the chair close to him, licked his lips, and innocently said, "I don't even know what you are talking about."
It was quiet in the main cabin of the spaceship. The oil paintings hanging on the walls were all of the previous commanders of the Federal Fleet. They were smiling gently with them, and quietly looking at the silent young man and woman in the cabin.
…
…
After a long silence, Jian Shui'er suddenly smiled. A trace of cunning flashed through her eyes under the fluffy purple hair, and said, "I'm just teasing you … you are really interesting. You are already a lieutenant colonel, but you still fall for this kind of trick."
"Ah?"
Xu Le stared at her blankly. It took him a long time to react, but his mind was still in shock. His only idol would also make such a boring and somewhat embarrassing joke? He seriously looked at Jian Shui'er for a long time, but he did not find a trace of reluctance and concealment between the girl's eyebrows. He somewhat helplessly shook his head, scratched his head, put on the sunglasses again, and turned around to walk out of the cabin door.
…
…
Seeing the small-eyed boy walk out of the room, the cunning and teasing expression in Jian Shui'er's eyes instantly disappeared and was replaced by a strong sense of embarrassment.
She quietly squatted on the chair like a young girl's plaster statue, and then jumped to the ground without warning. She desperately rubbed her fluffy purple hair in distress, and quickly walked around the big soft bed, muttering non-stop, "Embarrassing, embarrassing … I've completely embarrassed myself."
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. Her beautiful face was full of a slight blush of shame. She jumped on the bed, buried her face in the pillow, and murmured something. After a long time, she turned around, tidied up the messy hair on her cheeks, and seriously stared at the mirror on the ceiling. Looking at the cute but embarrassed girl in the mirror, she clenched her small fists and said very seriously,
"Jian Shui'er, you are the best professional actress, he will definitely be fooled by you."
…
…
"Miss, who are you trying to fool?"
Outside the room, Sister Tong found that Xu Le's expression was very strange when he left. She didn't understand what happened between the two in the room, so she curiously walked in and just happened to hear Jian Shui'er's words of encouragement for her.
Jian Shui'er found that the person who walked in was her, so she buried her face in the pillow again and said vaguely, "It's all your fault. What blind date … that guy obviously doesn't know anything. If I let him think that I'm crazy, how can I face people?"
"He doesn't know?" Sister Tong looked at the girl on the bed in disbelief and covered her mouth.
"I told you it was impossible." Jian Shui 'er sat up straight in anger. She glanced at her and said, "I don't know where you got the news from. I don't even know myself, but you insist that he's here for a blind date with me."
Sister Tong walked to the bed and sat down, saying, "Miss, I also went home last time and spent a lot of effort to get the dean to open his mouth … it shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"When has the old Taoist ever told the truth?" Jian Shui'er shook her head dejectedly and said, "It didn't happen in the first place, and now I have to pretend to be some independent girl. How laughable."
Probably only in front of Sister Tong would this national girl, who was doted on by millions of people, show such a delicate side. Even though Sister Tong had seen this side of her many times, she still couldn't help but smile. She put an arm around her shoulder and said,
"Xu Le was able to defeat that little lunatic on Kaqi Peak, and he's also a key figure in the MX mecha. What's even more frightening is that during the last military exercise, I heard that even Du Shaoqing was defeated by him … a person like this, why do you think the Department of Defence didn't send him to the frontlines of the West Woods to fight, but instead sent him here to be your bodyguard, miss?"
Jian Shui'er rubbed the tip of her nose, bit her lower lip and said hatefully, "Maybe it's because everyone thinks that I'm a jinx, so they can lure some people out and then let him kill them for military merit."
"Nonsense," said Sister Tong helplessly. "Last time, after the first young master of the Li family married you, that old Taoist you were talking about really liked him. But for some reason, that madam kept stirring up trouble, which is why the family didn't speed up the pace …"
When she mentioned that madam, Sister Tong's eyes clearly showed disapproval and even anger. Jian Shui'er tugged at her clothes and said with her head lowered, "If you like that bamboo that's soft on the outside and hollow on the inside, then marry him yourself."
"The first young master of the Li family is not as bad as you say," said Sister Tong helplessly.
"If that bamboo is so good, then why were you so polite to that small-eyed lieutenant colonel?" asked Jian Shui'er with wide eyes.
Sister Tong glanced at the deep starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window and laughed softly, "This one was personally chosen by that person, so of course he's not bad."
"Didn't they say that he's the illegitimate son of the old man?" Jian Shui'er sighed and said, "Then if I'm with him, wouldn't it be like the thunderstorm in Schiller's novel?"
Sister Tong spat in annoyance and said, "Of course you and I know that those are all rumors … Speaking of which, it's normal for Xu Le to know that this is a blind date. Ever since that meal at the 1st Military Region's residential area, everyone in the family knows that you hate blind dates. This time, he must've chosen a different path. Maybe he wants you two to try to interact more."
"Don't say anymore." Jian Shui'er rolled her eyes and put her hand across her chest to make a pause gesture. She pouted and said, "It doesn't matter if the news you heard is true or not. Since that guy doesn't know, then we'll just pretend that we don't know anything."
The girl patted her supple chest and said with fear in her eyes, "Luckily, I've been in the arts circle for so many years. At least I have some good acting skills."
Sister Tong was helpless. She looked at Jian Shui'er with pity, thinking that even Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing. However, this young couple didn't think about it carefully. With how much the military valued Xu Le, why would they let him be the bodyguard of the nation's girl?
This was a long journey to the West Woods. A single man and a single woman were together day and night. Outside the spaceship, there was a slight breeze and dew on the floor-to-ceiling window.
… It wasn't a blind date, but it was better than a blind date.
