Chapter Eighty-Four: The Masquerade

Ruan Qingning is a relatively indifferent person, and Ruan Qingning's energy is extremely limited for what most people care about. But as long as it is related to singing, Ruan Qingning will burst out with great enthusiasm and attention.

Therefore, when Lu Ling said that swallowing it would burn her throat, Ruan Qingning immediately gave up swallowing, which might hurt her throat and affect her singing.

But spitting it out is also something that Ruan Qingning is not very acceptable. When she was in a dilemma, Ruan Qingning resolutely decided to put it in her mouth. It's okay to burn your throat, it's not okay to be embarrassed in front of Lu Ling, but Ruan Qingning can still bear the small pain of burning her tongue.

"You!" Seeing Ruan Qingning's refusal to spit it out, he forced himself to endure it. At the same time, Lu Ling was helpless, and there was also a little indescribable emotion in his heart. Looking down at the box on the bench that was already empty and empty, Lu Ling picked up a box that originally contained French fries and handed it to Ruan Qingning, "Spit here." ”

Spit in the box is better than spitting on Lu Ling's hand. Coming to this conclusion, Ruan Qingning took the carton, turned his head, and spit out the octopus balls that were still very hot in his mouth. And without waiting for Lu Ling to say anything, he trotted with his back to Lu Ling and threw the carton into a nearby trash can.

"As for being so nervous?" Retracting the good points in his mouth, Lu Ling found that even after fighting wits and courage with his sister for so many years, it was still difficult for him to understand the girl's thinking pattern.

Disposing of the items that would affect his appearance, Ruan Qingning relaxed and sat back on the bench.

"Let's take a drink of water and ice!" Lu Ling lifted the lid of his grapefruit juice and handed it to Ruan Qingning. Nguyen Thanh Ning's strawberry yogurt is room temperature, far less effective than his chilled grapefruit juice on a scalded tongue.

Looking down at the grapefruit juice that had been lifted from the lid, Ruan Qingning smiled at Lu Ling and reached out to take it. is so careful, Lu Ling's girlfriend in the future will definitely be very happy!

Lu Ling is a very hot player, and he drinks ice drinks all year round. Don't look at the fact that it is winter, the wind outside is blowing and people's faces hurt, and the grapefruit juice ordered by Lu Ling is also filled with a lot of ice cubes, which occupies almost half of the volume of the drink cup.

I took two sips of grapefruit juice and put the ice cubes that had not yet melted on the burned part of my tongue. Ruan Qingning felt that the sore spot on her tongue was reduced a lot, and just as this time the dance party on the radio was about to start tonight, one of the highlights of the masquerade cosplay. After packing up the leftovers and throwing them away, the two followed the radio prompts and found the place where the dance was held.

The masquerade ball, one of the main events of tonight's event, can choose to dance with people you know, or invite people you don't know to dance with.

During the dance, the music stops randomly and certain instructions are given. On the dance floor, the partner's partner is required to complete the specified movement or requirement within 30 seconds.

Stick to the last three groups and get a free ticket to Monkey World valid for one month, and you can also choose any set of dolls from Monkey World to take home.

Ruan Qingning was not interested in free tickets, but the choice of a set of dolls was very attractive to her. In particular, the doll placed on the high platform by the organizer in order to attract attention has a certain anime image that she particularly likes, and it will be very cool if she can bring that doll home with her own efforts!

"Do you want a doll on the stage?" Following Ruan Qingning's line of sight, Lu Ling could easily see Ruan Qingning's desire.

"Well, that Jack's doll is very cute!" Ruan Qingning said her wish very frankly.

"Cute?" his gaze swirled on the doll with a gloomy expression, Lu Ling really couldn't find a trace of cuteness in this doll that could scare a group of people with horror music.

However, his purpose today was to make Ruan Qingning happy, so that she could forget his mistake of deliberately deceiving him. Since Ruan Qingning thinks that doll is cute, then they just try to win that doll.

Don't think too much about the rest. Anyway, that spooky doll wouldn't be in his house, would it?

Lu Ling and Ruan Qingning are ready-made partners, but in addition to their combination of two people together, there are many cases where one person comes over, or a group of people come over with an odd number, and they need to find a way to make up people. This situation has been taken into account for a long time, so before the official start of the ball, the organizers gave those present ten minutes to choose their dance partners.

Lu Ling and Ruan Qingning didn't have much to choose, and they felt the surging crowd in the chaotic crowd looking for a dance partner. Lu Ling immediately made a decision and escorted Ruan Qingning to a remote corner to avoid the crowd that kept bumping into him.

When Ruan Qingning first debuted, because she was too close to the members of the men's idol group of the same company, during a certain performance, the fans of the other group collectively turned off the lights and demonstrated.

In the stadium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it was suddenly pitch black, as if only his own feelings were left, only those who have experienced it personally will understand, after such an encounter, Ruan Qingning unconsciously began to resist the feeling of being in the center of the crowd and being watched by many people.

In addition, due to internal disputes in the company a few months ago, the assistant and staff who had been accompanying her were temporarily transferred, resulting in only a few staff members around her when she went to a foreign commercial performance.

Then she got off the plane and was overwhelmed by the crowd that had been picked up at the airport over there. In the end, she was stiffened by too many people, and she had to be carried out of the airport hall by the airport security guards.

It has been a few months since that terrifying experience, and it is still as vivid as ever in Ruan Qingning's mind. The result of such a serious sequelae is that since returning to China from that commercial performance, Ruan Qingning has been having nightmares for a while, dreaming that the crowd of people is rushing towards her, dreaming of countless pairs of arms stretching out, and dreaming that her ears are full of voices scolding her for not being a good captain...

This recurring nightmare gradually broke away from Ruan Qingning's dream as Ruan Qingning brought Zero back from Lu Ling's store, and Ruan Qingning thought that she could overcome the impact of that dream on her.

But just now, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and when people kept passing by her and colliding with her body, the scenes that had appeared in the dream countless times came one after another. At that moment, Ruan Qingning's body stiffened, and only a pair of eyes were left covered by the mask, and his face was full of indescribable horror.

Lu Ling didn't notice Ruan Qingning's abnormality at first, he was thinking about how to compete for the top three for a while. However, at this time, someone happened to bump into him, and Lu Ling walked forward two sentences unexpectedly, almost knocking Ruan Qingning who was in front of him to the ground, and when he reached out to pull Ruan Qingning, Lu Ling could be regarded as discovering Ruan Qingning's abnormality.

Protecting Ruan Qingning through the restless crowd with difficulty, and facing out to block the surging crowd, Lu Ling looked at Ruan Qingning, who was stuck in the corner of the wall, his eyes were blank, and asked carefully, "Are you okay?"

Ruan Qingning didn't answer, but looked at the horror in her slightly trembling body and the only eyes that were exposed. Lu Ling knew that Ruan Qingning's mental state was very unstable now.

There was no time to go to Ruan Qingning, how could this suddenly, Lu Ling took Ruan Qingning into his arms, and gently stroked her back with his right hand, "It's okay, with me!
