The waltz is slow, but if it is so slow that both of them stop, it is purely a bit of a bullying waltz.

The two of them stood there, blocking the way of others very unkindly, and the pairs next to them were concerned when they saw this.

"It's okay, she sprained her foot, I'll just take her down to rest. Su Jingming smiled casually, his voice was gentle and doting, and others made a look of sudden realization when they heard it, as for believing it or not, Gu Lian didn't know very well.

Gu Lian saw him open his eyes and talk nonsense, a little inexplicable, his eyes were still subconsciously chasing Su Baiming, but as a result, his wrist tightened, Su Jingming hooked his lips and smiled, and his voice became more and more gentle: "Let's go, I'll help you down." ”

Gu Lian was half-supported and half-hugged by him, stumbling to the ground, not twisting her feet like twisting her feet, and was taken by him to the chair next to her to sit down. When the resting people saw Su Jingming, they naturally greeted each other and asked about the situation, Su Jingming replied with a smile, but his hand kept pinching Gu Lian's wrist, there were few people who were not interested in coming here, and after a while, there were only two people left on the chairs around.

It's embarrassing.

"Uh...... Isn't it appropriate to clear the field like this?" Gu Lian cleared her throat.

"What's wrong?" Su Jingming asked with a smile, still looking good, with merry eyebrows and eyes, and only looked at her fixedly.

Gu Lian had nothing to say. She doesn't speak, and neither does he. She had to rack her brains by herself, figuring out his sudden anger, thinking of what he had just said, she hesitated for a while before saying: "You dance very well, but after all, you are the master and the commander, I am inevitably curious, distracted, sorry." ”

For a person with good dancing skills, it is enough to be aggrieved by a little white like her, and his dance partner is not attentive, this matter is indeed not respectful enough for her, no wonder Su Jingming is angry.

Su Jingming was silent for a long time, and then smiled, unspeakably strange: "Commander?"

Gu Lian inexplicably felt a little weak-hearted. Although it is a bit shameless to say that it is good for people's families to apologize and feel that they can be forgiven, what is it about making people angry after apologizing like this?

"Actually, you also think that my eldest brother is more useful than me, right?" Su Jingming laughed lowly, his laughter was low and bleak, "I know...... I already knew...... Even I think I'm a waste, so how can I hope that others will approve of me?"

Pursuing an illusory ideal, no one can see it, not even himself, and as he gets older, Su Jingming's heart is full of unspeakable fear.

Is it that in this life, you have to spend the past in such a wasted way?

There is no merit, no pass, no one knows him, no one understands him.

A hundred years later, only a handful of dust remains.

Who is he? What kind of person is he? What kind of things have he done? How can human beings leave traces of existence if they are not described by such outward deeds? What is the difference between the way he is and the way he does not exist?

Emptiness, nothingness, boundless fear.

has been denied by others for a long time and suppressed himself for a long time, so his once firm belief has been chiseled into a small stone that he doesn't even know what shape it is, so that Gu Lian's affirmation actually made him grasp hope like a long-term drought.

However, if she even looks down on him like this......

Su Jingming stared at her, but his eyes were empty and weak.

As long as the thought of being pushed down from the top of the mountain, Su Jingming felt hopeless.

When Gu Lian heard this, she remembered the last time the two met. Before, she could comfort him casually, but this time she looked at his expression, but she couldn't easily cheer him on anyway.

She thought seriously for a while, and as she was silent, Su Jingming's face became darker and darker. Others just watched from afar, and they would feel that the atmosphere in their room was heavy and stagnant.

"I ......"

When Gu Lian finally opened her mouth to break the silence, Su Jingming suddenly interrupted: "Forget it, when I didn't say it, I was abrupt." ”

Forget it. Suddenly he didn't have the courage to listen to her.

"Listen to me. Gu Lian raised her hand and insisted, "I don't know if Mr. Su knows about Xinxue?"

Wang Shouren...... The unity of knowledge and action?" Su Jingming was stunned.

"There is no goodness and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious action. Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. After Gu Lian read it, she exhaled, but fortunately she didn't forget it.

"What you want to do is already 'know good and know evil', and most people can't do 'do evil for good'. ”

Su Jingming's eyes flashed, and he smiled bitterly: "Are you comforting me?"

"No, I just want you to do what most people can't. Gu Lian tilted her head.

Su Jingming's expression moved: "But...... My brother ......"

gave birth to him and raised him, so that in the last days he will still provide him with a backbone.

has always supported him to the point that he would rather not touch the ideals of power.

The contradiction between the two is deep-rooted, creating a painful situation in which Su Jingming cannot advance or retreat.

Gu Lian looked into the distance and said, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you weren't a Su family?"

"How can this be ......" He froze suddenly, his pupils shrank, as if he thought of something, he looked at her deeply, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "What do you mean?"

Gu Lian lowered her eyes: "I'm just talking about ifs." ”

Su Jingming had to ask again, the music was like a phoenix perched on a sycamore, and the most important part of the dinner, the holy water ceremony, was about to begin. People slowly gathered in the center, whispering about the talent of the princess.

Talent is the key factor in whether a family can occupy a leadership position for a long time.

Speculation, suspicion, and amusement are all directed at the three-year-old girl, and the protagonist of the banquet does not even understand how the simple act of drinking water can have a significant impact on his future life.

Six women pushed carts in front, followed by twelve guards, and slowly stepped in as they watched everyone. On the stage, Su Baiming, his wife and the little girl waited quietly.

Gu Lian saw that Su Jingming seemed to be about to step forward, frowned, and grabbed his arm in a hurry. He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to keep him, and lowered his head and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"What's wrong?" he chuckled, affectionately.

"I ......" her head was blank, her heart was anxious, and the more anxious she was, the more helpless she was, she just hoped that Li Dong's hands and feet would be neat.

Just when her anxious palms were sweating, Su Jingming suddenly changed her tone, with a little tenderness, bent down, and gently touched her cheek with her fingers: "Miss Gu...... Would you like to stay here?"

“……”

WHAT？！

Gu Lian's eyes widened in shock, she couldn't close her mouth, and looked straight at him, wondering if she had heard it wrong, and she didn't even pay attention to the movements on the stage.

"Stay by my side, I will protect you and will not let you be wronged. You don't have to be threatened, you don't have to be a prisoner, and you don't have to worry about being abandoned. I can swear that you will not have to worry about your life in this life. Su Jingming said impulsively, he had calmed down at this time, and simply didn't do anything, and opened his words to speak, but his face was slightly red, and he seemed to be a little ashamed.

Gu Lian stayed for a while and stammered: "Why, why? We've only seen each other twice...... You don't even know where I came from...... "This is something that Gu Lian couldn't understand. If it is said that just two sides can make someone like Su Jingming fall in love with her, she will not believe it. She also needs to figure out, is this recruiting confidants and friends, or is she doing the same thing as Bai Hengyuan?

"I want you to be with me and see what we can do in this world. You know my ideals, and although I have not seen you these days, your news has never been broken, and I can see your uneasiness. I need you, you ...... Can you stay with me?"

His expression was as casual as possible, but even the tips of his ears became red, but his eyes were gritted and stared at her as if he was fighting after dodging several times, Gu Lian didn't have any thoughts, and he was also shy by his extremely shy appearance, her face slowly became hot, and the feeling of embarrassment and shyness made her feel helpless.

Everyone stared at the people on the stage, only the two of them were silent, as if they had entered another world.

In the silence, everything around him seemed to become distant, Su Jingming seemed to be able to hear his rapid heartbeat, and couldn't help clenching his fists, with a trace of panic that he hadn't felt for a long time. Obviously told himself that this was a confidant, but his heartbeat was not under his control.

Gu Lian's mouth opened and closed a few times, it was obviously impossible to stay here, and for a moment, she was extremely weak in a corner of her heart, but she couldn't help but secretly look forward to such a peaceful day.

Being protected, you can rely on others, and there is no fear for your life and no intrigue.

She shook her head, shaking off the stupid thought she shouldn't have: "I'm sorry, but I have ......"

Before the words fell, someone suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"

Immediately afterwards, with a scream, there was a bang, and the sound of piercing the wall sounded, and the soldier who was protecting Su Baiming shouted: "There is a killer on the second floor!

Needless to say, there were already a few people who had climbed from the first floor to the second floor as light as geckos, all of which were astonishingly fast.

However, the lights disappeared, the venue was plunged into darkness, and the lady let out a scream. Seconds later, the backup power was lit up, and several of the soldiers on the stage who had just been giving orders were dead.

There was a dead silence. (To be continued.) )
