More than a dozen masks were neatly arranged on the black satin. Different masks had different styles and materials. The ones made of feathers looked much softer.
Jiang Yansheng was immediately attracted by the mask in the middle of the satin.
"I've reserved this one. Do you like it?" Xiao Chuyun followed Jiang Yansheng's gaze and picked up the one she was staring at with a smile.
There was a finger-sized sapphire in the middle of the pure black mask. As Xiao Chuyun picked it up, every perfect surface of the sapphire reflected a dazzling light. It was not dazzling, but comfortable.
Placed among the ten rows, it felt like a crane in a flock of chickens. This feeling was even more obvious when it was held by the man with one hand.
Jiang Yansheng glanced at him and raised his eyebrows lazily. "Not bad, right?"
Although he said it coldly, she couldn't look away.
"It's called Black Swan." The smile on Xiao Chuyun's lips was sincere. She inadvertently met Jiang Yansheng's eyes. "I think it's very similar to you."
Jiang Yansheng looked down and smiled faintly. "Similar to me?"
"Why don't you think I look like a white swan?"
White swan was obviously more dazzling and popular. Did Xiao Chuyun think that she didn't match the color white?
Xiao Chuyun held the mask less than two centimeters in front of Jiang Yansheng and smiled. "It really matches."
"White swan? Such a common thing doesn't look like you at all. "
There seemed to be a moment of mockery in his tone when he mentioned white swan, but it was only a flash. When Jiang Yansheng reacted, it disappeared.
She blinked gently, and her eyelashes could even touch the black feather that was close to her.
This color was the complete opposite of white. It was lonely and cold. Did Xiao Chuyun really think that this color was similar to her?
"Dai Shang, give it a try."
"I'll do it myself." She took the mask from Xiao Chuyun's hand and put it on herself. Even the size was just right, as if it was custom-made for her.
Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Yansheng glanced at Xiao Chuyun, who looked a little expectant, and sighed in his heart. Was this specially made for her?
With this level of thoughtfulness, it was no wonder that Xiao Chuyun didn't lack women around him, let alone women who took the initiative to come to him.
"It's really beautiful!" After Jiang Yansheng put it on, the shop assistant who had been following the two of them quietly couldn't help but let out a sigh. She looked at Jiang Yansheng with eyes full of surprise. "Miss Jiang really suits this color."
Jiang Yansheng was not interested in such exaggerated words. She took off her mask and turned to look at Xiao Chuyun. "What about you? Aren't we going together? "
She really wanted to see what kind of mask Xiao Chuyun would choose.
Xiao Chuyun stopped her hand from taking off her mask. "Don't rush to take it. Go in and put on the dress later. We'll go first."
He leaned over and randomly chose an ordinary dress from the ten rows in front of Jiang Yansheng. He held it in his hand and said, "This is mine."
Jiang Yansheng frowned. She didn't believe what he said. She didn't even look at it when she took it just now.
Xiao Chuyun didn't look guilty at all. He said calmly, "The color matches yours, doesn't it?"
They were both black, but his looked more ordinary, or perhaps even more mediocre.
Jiang Yansheng shrugged, took the box with the dress from Xiao Chuyun, and was led into the compartment by the shop assistant.
The top of the mirror was warm yellow, and the four corners were abnormally bright. Jiang Yansheng gently pulled up the zipper on her waist and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She didn't know if Xiao Chuyun overestimated her figure, or if he had imagined it wrong. He actually chose such a tight dress for her.
Although there were very few exposed areas, it was indescribably sexy on her body. Jiang Yansheng frowned. He wanted to pull the dress down a little, but every piece of fabric was almost seamless. He couldn't move it at all.
Her loose long hair was just over her shoulders, but it made the curves of her body more obvious. The dress was black from head to toe.
No wonder Xiao Chuyun said that it matched the mask he had carefully chosen.
Xiao Chuyun, who was waiting outside, opened the curtain and his eyes lit up. He stretched out a hand to Jiang Yansheng in a very gentlemanly manner. "You will definitely be the focus of the banquet tonight."
Jiang Yansheng said grumpily, "You prepared the dress and the mask. I didn't think about it, okay?"
In this kind of high-end banquet, some people were born to be the focus of everyone's eyes no matter what they did. They enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone, but she was not.
She was a little annoyed when she was called by Xiao Chuyun.
…
The banquet was held in one of the top five-star hotels in Jingcheng. As soon as they entered, Jiang Yansheng's exposed shoulders finally began to feel a little warm.
Xiao Chuyun took out a gilded invitation and walked in with Jiang Yansheng.
With one hand holding the dress and the other carefully holding a corner of Xiao Chuyun's arm, Jiang Yansheng looked around nervously.
Her mask, which looked strange on the outside, became very sociable in the banquet hall. Everyone around her was wearing a variety of masks. Some were simple and black like her, and some were colorful and jumpy.
Only those who didn't wear a mask didn't fit in here.
There was a huge circular dance floor in the middle of the hall. It was not the time for the banquet to officially start, so the guests were drinking in twos and threes on the side.
"I didn't know that there would be such a banquet in Jingcheng." Jiang Yansheng stopped looking around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his eyes. "It's different from the banquets I've been to before."
"Of course." Xiao Chuyun put a finger on his lips and said softly, "You rarely meet people who wear a mask when you go out, but they won't expose their identity here."
Everyone had a goblet in their hand. The waiter with a black bow tie walked among them with a bottle of champagne tilted in his hand. If someone wanted to refill the wine, he would give a slight hint.
Jiang Yansheng smiled, "It's really boring."
"Can you only show your true nature here?" She tilted her head slightly, and the black velvet on her face gently rubbed her white skin. "Does it mean that you really wear a 'mask' at ordinary times? It's pathetic. "
She lived in a "disguise" every day.
"Why is it pathetic?" Xiao Chuyun gently snapped his fingers, and the waiter handed over two glasses.
He nodded slightly, and the wine was filled up.
One of the glasses was handed to Jiang Yansheng.
"I just want to change my mood and identity to enjoy it." Because Xiao Chuyun wore a mask and took off his signature things, the gold-rimmed glasses that always followed him had been put aside. Only a pair of cold amber pupils could be seen under the mask. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't be so serious."
Jiang Yansheng said lightly, "Am I wrong?"
She looked at Xiao Chuyun quietly and said suddenly, "Take off your glasses. You look like your brother."
Especially this pair of glasses. Because she had just seen Xiao Chuyi a few days ago, she now had a very clear memory of this pair of glasses.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Chuyun was stunned for a moment, then he sneered, "I'm wearing a mask now. How can you tell?"
Although he didn't say it out loud, he didn't hide his disdain for Xiao Chuyi at all.
His smile was even a little disdainful.
With a click, the few luxurious crystal chandeliers on the ceiling of the hall suddenly turned off. Then, they lit up with a warm orange light. The sound of piano and orchestral music came from all four sides of the hall, filling almost every corner of the hall.
Among the large lights, there were small lights that swept across the middle of the dance floor. Bright red and bright blue lights flashed across the middle of the dance floor, and a few masked men and women had already begun to twist their bodies in the middle of the dance floor.
Jiang Yansheng couldn't help but feel her scalp go numb when she saw their tightly clinging bodies.
A scene that she had seen a long time ago suddenly flashed across her mind. It seemed to be a dance partner who had to step back after dancing in a big circle. What if she held the hand of an uncle with a greasy beer belly?
"For this kind of ballroom dance, it should be the same dance partner from beginning to end, right?" Jiang Yansheng asked hesitantly. When she looked back, she was startled by Xiao Chuyun, who was very close to her.
"Of course not. This isn't a formal dance. It's more fun. "
The man's hand almost touched her face, but Jiang Yansheng slapped it away without hesitation. She frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Chuyun retracted his hand and smiled politely. He rubbed his wrist that Jiang Yansheng had slapped. "The sapphire on your mask is very beautiful, so …"
Jiang Yansheng took a step back without batting an eyelid. She smiled warmly and warmly. "If you like my face so much, why don't we swap?"
Xiao Chuyun was silent for a moment and chuckled. "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
"Of course I understand." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you just want to show off your taste? Why don't you pick a good one for me? "
Xiao Chuyun lowered his voice. "Can't you tell? Mine and yours are one and the same. "
Jiang Yansheng shook her head and chuckled. "I really can't tell."
"In my opinion, isn't it easier for Mr. Xiao to find someone who's the right match at a banquet like this? Stop wasting time with me. "
"It's boring to look for one here." Xiao Chuyun took a step forward.
Jiang Yansheng sighed and took another step back while holding her skirt.
There was a step behind her, and she almost fell. She clenched her fists nervously, and Jiang Yansheng tugged at the sleeve of a man behind her.
