The banquet personally handled by Chris, whether in terms of specifications or pomp, naturally does not need to be said, which also shows Chris's attitude towards the bamboo hoop on behalf of the Leicester family, of course, with the support of Iris, even if the bamboo hoop withdraws from the mermaid equality center to lead the core team, the position is not embarrassing, and whoever wants to move him has to weigh his own catties.

Almost all of the people who came to the banquet were people of status, and the nobles of small families could not be invited by Lester.

Sephiroth was sent to free time after he showed up, and the banquet was an occasion for adults to come and go, and it was undoubtedly boring for children, and Iris never restrained Sephiroth.

Iris accompanied by the bamboo hoop, and met and talked with many nobles, the bamboo hoop is familiar with this, and because of Iris, the other party's politeness has an extra trace of politeness, both sides have that meaning, naturally talk very happily, and even praise one or two on the new song sent by the bamboo hoop, the atmosphere is so unhappy.

Winston stood silently on the terrace with a glass of red wine, he didn't have to look behind him to know what was going on...... Iris accompanied him, must be thoughtful, his face is full of smiles, full of happiness, looking at the bamboo basket's eyes so proud, the affection almost flows out; And the bamboo hoop has always been gentle, but when his eyes turned, he found that the eyes he looked at Iris were actually conniving and spoiling. The two stood together, Iris tall and handsome, sheltered from the wind and rain like a big tree; The bamboo hoop is gentle and moist like water, like flowers under the tree, and the big tree monopolizes his brightness and beauty, and the fragrance that belongs to the big tree is offered, maybe this is love, even if talking to others, there is an atmosphere between the two of them, which cannot be separated and cannot be inserted.

Since the arrival of Iris and the bamboo basket, they greeted each other lightly, and there has been no communication at all.

Bamboo Hoop and Iris are very happy now, and they have a sweetheart baby Sephiroth, a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance, Winston is slightly mocking in his heart, not a clear-eyed person, but almost everyone knows it now, and he also watched the news posted by Iris this morning.

What a beautiful family, everyone who sees it will sigh like this.

Winston has a monstrous guilt for the bamboo hoop, once the bamboo hoop was in his home, excited for him every time he came home, his cheeks were slightly red, he would stretch out his arms to hold him and move, he would swim happily in the pool on the roof, waiting for him to come home, every time he saw his figure, he would laugh happily, beckoning to him through the transparent glass, the former bamboo hoop, so look forward to building a happy family with him.

And the cheerful and innocent laughter that sounded in his house should also be Iris's.

For so many years, Winston's guilt for the bamboo basket has not been reduced by half because of the effort he has made for the bamboo basket behind his back, nor has he lost a trace because of the more brilliant personal achievements of the bamboo basket, Winston knows that he has betrayed all the expectations of the bamboo basket and destroyed the happiness of the bamboo basket with his own hands, so his heart will not have a little relief before the bamboo basket really gets happiness.

Indeed, Zhu Zhen never said anything resentful to him, but his guilt imprisoned him year after year.

After the bamboo basket left, Iris's attitude towards him changed suddenly, no, it can't be called sudden, it was actually obvious enough before, and it was even more obvious after the bamboo basket left, how much admiration there was in those eyes, and how cold it was after that, as if he was an uncle who was not close, and after meeting him, he stopped and said hello, and he had nothing to say. Winston also understood at the time that his actions betrayed the child's expectations, and the child was disappointed in him...... Winston didn't care about the long-term impact of Bamboo Hoop's departure on Iris, Iris is still young, and time is so long, there will always be a day when he forgets it, and when he mentions it again, he only has a vague impression. Iris doesn't want to stay in Roland Manor anymore, and he's about to go to the battlefield again, leaving the child alone at home is no good, it's better to leave it to Chris, he will always take care of Iris.

Coming back again, Iris is already a big child, and the feelings that used to be deep are only the past.

Iris married to Zhu Zhen, it was a bolt from the blue for Winston, he was even stunned at the time, from receiving the news to Iris posting the marriage certificate, Winston has never reacted, what usual acumen is false, at that moment he even thought he was having a nightmare.

What a joke, how could Bamboo Hoop be with Iris? It's—It's ridiculous, it's unbelievable! Winston watched Iris take the concocted drink from the bamboo basket's hand, beckoned to the waiter and ordered something, the bamboo basket said something with a smile, Iris rubbed the bamboo basket's head, in exchange for a glare from the bamboo basket, Iris then raised his hand to make a gesture of surrender, but the smile on his face was even brighter, and the waiter returned and gave the bamboo basket a glass of water.

Bamboo Basket is very happy now, and he has never complained about him, he just treats him as a stranger, and even because of the disaster five years ago, he is even flattered today, Iris calls him uncle, Bamboo Basket does not follow to say hello, he does not resent him, he does not hate him, but what has happened will never become nothing that has happened, but Bamboo Basket nodded to him, which is enough to make Winston happy. He thought that he would be able to be relaxed from now on, he would not ask for forgiveness, it would be too precious and too strong, but at least he would be able to unload the burden despite his guilt - the bamboo basket is very happy now.

Winston found out that he was wrong.

He saw that the bamboo hoop was so happy now, why was it still so ...... So sad, so sad, that you can't even hold back your desire to cry? Why is this, Winston has long felt it in his heart, but he never dared to tell the truth to himself, even if he understands, he also knows that he can't hurt another person, hurting one person in this life, making him so tormented, how can he inflict hell on others again.

The sight was blocked, Winston immediately retracted his gaze, his face was still the same as always, no one could see that he was surging just now, and the nobles who came were also unaware, and Winston talked to him, Winston only felt that his shoulders were too heavy, obviously he was in the prime of life, why did he feel so overwhelmed.

***

Xia Fan watched Winston walk to the terrace, he knew that Winston didn't have the courage to face the bamboo hoop, why didn't he face it, but if he didn't face it, it was like a prisoner before his execution, he never knew when the bullet would come, and he would be tormented to death. So he won't be running away, escaping for so many years, what Winston doesn't dare to face, he can understand, and understands enough, it's up to him.

What's the solution, who made him and Winston now a family, who let ...... At the beginning, he was going to fall in love with Winston, and at the moment of turning into a fishtail, he was afraid of the life of a mermaid, chose to push the boat with the water, betrayed the bamboo hoop, and had an irreparable relationship with Winston.

Together, they ruined an old mermaid called Bamboo Basket.

How can you excuse yourself for being shameless when others are reborn. Seeing Iris being called away by another nobleman, Xia Fan plucked up his courage and walked to Zhu Zhen's side, he was so nervous at this moment, just like he was a student decades ago, and he was trembling in front of the teacher for fear that the slightest mistake would send him back to the garbage star.

"Bamboo Basket ......" Xia Fan called the name of the bamboo basket, and his eyes turned red almost instantly, he would read this name thousands of times in his heart every day, but he didn't make a sound, he finally called out the name, like a shackle that had locked him for so many years, a name, a mermaid.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhen raised his head, and the moment he saw Xia Fan, his expression was a little subtle, but looking at Xia Fan's trembling tone and clenched hands, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, revealing a soft smile, "Xia Fan." ”

The nails pierced the palms of his hands in an instant, and Xia Fan's heart trembled at the moment, he was so scared and painful.

"I thought, we need a room." The bamboo basket nodded to Xia Fan, beckoned the waiter to give a few words, then made a gesture of please, and took the lead in the front.

For Xia Fan, Zhu Zhen does not hate him, in the final analysis, Xia Fan does not need to bear the main responsibility for the current situation, or even just a poor implicated person. Xia Fan is not bad-hearted, he loves Winston, probably it is not wrong, he and Xia Fan have only met a few times, although they have a good conversation, they can't say that they have much friendship, and even Xia Fan, as a soldier, has pity and respect for him from the beginning.

Although he finally walked with Winston for various reasons, in fact, there were also reasons for his inaction, showing that he didn't love Winston, and didn't even fight for himself a little, if he showed his love for Winston, reminded Xia Fan, and asked Xia Fan not to get close to Winston, what would be the result? Zhu Zhen is not sure that Xia Fan will choose this way, or stay away from Winston, or even go away from the capital star, but Xia Fan's choice now is just biased towards himself, people are selfish, and they will think more about themselves, Xia Fan's fault......

Moreover, from the time he left Winston, to the time he was attacked and had a difficult birth, and then fell asleep for five years, nearly a hundred years, Xia Fan's torture was enough to repay his mistakes.

Xia Fan followed behind Zhu Zhen, although he was nervous, his steps were firm.

He understands Winston, Winston will never dare to face the bamboo hoop, because, Winston loves the bamboo hoop, if he faces the bamboo hoop, this feeling will definitely be suppressed at the moment after a hundred years of accumulation and suppression of pain, what will happen then? - Bamboo Hoop will be in pain, Iris will be angry, he will be sad, Winston will be even more miserable.

As early as many years ago, Xia Fan found out about this.

So five years ago, at the "funeral" of Zhuji, he said that he was needed as a helper, and that he could share his sins, but he could not share his feelings.

Winston's stupidity, he thought that the bamboo basket could not keep up with him, he thought that the partner he needed was a person like himself, but he didn't know that all his feelings were given to the bamboo basket, so he would be angry because the bamboo basket could not meet his expectations, and he couldn't believe that he was in love with the bamboo basket, so he put his satisfied eyes on him, because the bamboo basket's final 'love' was injured, and he chose him more firmly.

As everyone knows, Zhu Zheng, who has become a public figure, just affects his mind with every move.

What a ridiculous and pathetic man.

But he loves him, so it's up to him to face Bamboo Basket, and there is no love between him and Winston, so let him save their family. Xia Fan followed the bamboo basket and thought so. 166 Reading Network
