Chapter 21: The Unruly Wind (21)
Yun Hu is not happy, Chapter 21 The Unruly Wind (21)
She gradually felt tired, and her smile seemed a little forced. Fei Fazu, her partner of the dance, saw that she was only halfway through the dance, and led her to the sidelines.
She was a little surprised, but Fei Fazu brought her a soda and a folding fan, and said, "You can rest for half a time and then continue dancing." β
Jingyi smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you." I haven't danced for a long time, and I can't cope with it. β
Fei Fazu sat beside her, looked at the joyful men and women on the dance floor, and whispered, "Last time I was in distress, thanks to Mrs. Tao and Commander Tao's help. There's never a chance to say thank you in person. It's not a good thing, and I'm not embarrassed to mention it in front of anyone. If there is anything that can help Mrs. Tao in the future, please feel free to ask. β
Jingyi understood what he was talking about, "Don't say that. Forget about it. Yi"
Fei Fazu nodded and said, "But my words count." β
Jingyi smiled, seeing that he insisted, he didn't refuse, "Since I left Nanjing, I have never been there, I miss it very much, the people, the scenery...... It's all good. β
"Mrs. Tao is a person who misses the old love very much." Fei Fazu looked at her, smiled and nodded, "Haruko is still in Nanjing." It's just closed doors, and it's not convenient for me to visit from time to time. I heard that I will be moving to Shanghai in the near future. Dirty"
"She didn't go with her sister and adoptive mother?" Jingyi opened the folding fan and asked idly.
"Nope. It seems that he has severed relations with them, and he has no intention of going back to Japan......" Fei Fazu was saying, a touch of peach floated in front of him, and Fei Faxian dragged Fang Shaokang past. He paused, saw Jingyi's movement of shaking the fan also stopped, and asked, "Why don't you go to dance?" β
Fei Faxian said with a smile: "I just danced a few songs, take a break, and want to go outside to take a breath." There were a lot of people waiting to dance with Missistao, but suddenly there was no one there, and they were all very anxious...... Misistaw, are you tired? β
Jingyi saw that she was really smiling like a peach blossom swaying in the spring breeze, frivolous is frivolous, and it is undoubtedly good-looking. She smiled and nodded.
Fei Faxian also had to sink in her quiet smile, turned her face to look at Fang Shaokang, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and said, "I really wish I was a man, so I can invite a great beauty like Missistao to dance, and TOEFL will be the focus of the audience...... Shaokang, why don't you ask Missistao to dance for me! β
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Miss Fei, I'm so easy to be lazy for a while......"
She looked at Fang Shaokang. Regarding his fiancΓ©e's proposal, Fang Shaokang does not seem to be opposed. This surprised Jingyi. Her heart sank, and the folding fan closed. There was a soft thud.
At this time, the song was over, Fang Shaokang stretched out his hand to Jingyi, bowed down and invited, "Mrs. Tao, can you have this honor?" β
In front of everyone's eyes, Jingyi looked at Fang Shaokang's eyes.
The pair of eyes that I saw through the lenses were shining brightly, staring at her.
She put the folding fan away, and when the music started, she reached out and put it on Fang Shaokang's hand and got up. When he left, he said to the Fei Fazu brothers and sisters that he was not accompanied, and walked off the dance floor with Fang Shaokang.
She didn't pay attention to the others, just looked at Fang Shaokang.
It only took a moment for her to feel the skill of his dancing steps. There were so many people dancing with her tonight, and his dancing skills were not inferior to anyone else's. Fang Shaokang smiled softly and did not talk to her. So she just had time to observe him - the scar on his face was about half the size of a palm, and it looked hideous, as if all the grievances he could tell were there...... Her body stiffened a little. The hand he held in his hand did not change its posture. And his hands are so cold...... Suddenly there were clouds of black in front of her eyes, the black that had appeared in her sleep, and the white spirit flags, which always made her feel extra cold...... She gritted her teeth and cried out loud for many nights, cold as falling into an ice cave.
At the end of the song, Fang Shaokang stood down.
He looked at her and whispered, "Thank you." β
She also whispered: "Your dance is really good." β
"I dance once in a while, although I never like it." Fang Shaokang's voice was low.
"You...... All right? She stared at the scar on his face. It was as if something was gouging out her heart and her eyes. My heart and eyes hurt.
"What about you?" He asked rhetorically. Holding her hand, they slowly walked to the edge of the dance floor.
They both smiled gently, their voices low enough that only the two of them could hear each other in this noisy environment.
"I ...... Well now. She said.
"I can see it, Mrs. Tao." There was no ripple in his deep voice, and he bit the three words of Mrs. Tao extremely clearly. At the same time, let go of her hand.
Jingyi was speechless.
He was close to her, and walked the road dozens of meters together, covered with thorns, making her feel unbearable pain with every step. She especially wanted to grab his hand and not let go, to be able to ask out loud...... But she looked into his eyes and knew that she couldn't ask him, and she couldn't ask.
Her eyes were blurry, and the music in her ears was so loud that it disturbed her mind...... Just when she felt that she was afraid that she would not be able to hold it anymore, a strong hand held up her hand, and said in a laughing voice, "Mrs. Tao, I finally waited for the opportunity to invite you to dance." β
Jingyi grabbed the hand. She saw clearly that it was Dunhuang.
Xiao Dunhuang turned his face to Fang Shaokang, who was looking at them, and nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, it's rude." β
He didn't pay attention to Fang Shaokang's reaction and took Jingyi away.
It is a cheerful four-step dance, and the simple and interesting dance attracts more dancers. Fang Shaokang stepped aside and watched Xiao Dunhuang quickly merge into the dancing crowd with Jingyiβher blue figure was still outstanding, no matter where she was, it would be recognizable at a glanceβbut it wasn't just him looking at this blue figure. He only needed a slight flicker of his gaze to see the many adoring and admiring eyes that surrounded her, like a dense web, enveloping her glowing figure. He also had no trouble finding Tao Xiang, the handsome man with outstanding temperament. He seemed to be in high spirits, but he was not ostentatious, and even in terms of his status and age, he seemed too old and serious...... He had just turned around when a glass of champagne was handed to him. He smiled, Fei Faxian and Fei Yuming's father and daughter stood behind him, and they didn't know how long.
"Thank you." He took the wine from Fei Faxian's hand, and when he looked back, Jing Yi and the personable officer were gone......
"Colonel Brigade Commander Dunhuang. Xinjiang counterinsurgency campaign officially joined the Tao department. previously followed General Liao Zhiyuan to fight in the south and north, and he also fell into the grass, which was a headache for the Tao department. General Liao Zhiyuan and General Shi Jingchang were once close comrades-in-arms. Xiao Dunhuang is also a protΓ©gΓ© of General Shi Jingchang. His position certainly doesn't matter compared to his contemporaries. What makes him outstanding is that his experience is special. It can be said that it is a foreign war and a civil war. This is probably the reason why Commander Tao attaches great importance to him. He was willing to enter the pottery department, unexpectedly. Perhaps it was General Shi Jingchang who tried his best to make it happen. Fei Yuming smiled and said, no longer drunk.
Fang Shaokang knew that he had just deliberately pretended to be too strong in front of Tao Xiang and the others.
"Met at a friend's wedding. He was a very special man. Fang Shaokang said in a low voice. He had only met Dunhuang twice in a hurry, and from his actions just now, he also knew that Dunhuang was by no means a simple person. Xiao's eyes looked very scattered. He knew that this kind of thinness was sometimes just a protective color...... He couldn't help frowning slightly.
Also, Cheng Jingyi and Xiao Dunhuang do not seem to be ordinary friends.
"Oh, father, just talk to Shaokang about these uninteresting topics...... Shaokang, let's go dance. Fei Faxian was impatient and pulled Fang Shaokang away. Snuggled on Fang Shaokang's shoulder as she walked, and her mother frowned as she looked at it.
"What does this look like?" Mrs. Fei complained in a low voice.
Fei Yuming felt happy when he saw it, and said, "It's nothing. Don't you think Miss Suo is also generous? β
"How does she compare to Mrs. Cheng San? Besides, where can Shaokang compare......" Mrs. Fei said, snorting in her nose.
Fei Yuming smiled: "According to what you say, I am still 108,000 miles away from Chief Suo!" Why doesn't Shaokang get in your eyes? I think he's very talented. I have only been my secretary for a few days, and the articles I drafted are very effective. I see no limit to his future......"
Mrs. Fei snorted even more when she heard this, and said, "I am drunk and talking, I don't know what you are talking about." It's the scar on the face, where is there an official who is not good looking? β
She became impatient as she spoke, and left with Fei Yuming in her arms. Is it more worrying, or look at their daughters - the two huddle together, it seems, the two of them whisper, extremely intimate......
Xiao Dunhuang took Jingyi all the way to a corner of the dance floor. He stopped dancing, and seeing that Jingyi's face was not good, he simply held her hand, looked at the passage behind him, and motioned for others to dodge away. Walking out of this passage, there was a huge carved wooden door, the guards saw them, pushed the door open, Jingyi followed Dunhuang through this door, and immediately breathed fresh air.
Outside, there is a long, wide corridor, and down the stairs is a cedar forest. The electric lights are bright, and there are people gathered in twos and threes to talk and walk...... Xiao Dunhuang saw that there were empty seats in the rest area set up outside, and asked Jingyi to sit down.
He stood by, just looking at her, not speaking.
Jing Yi's mind gradually calmed down.
Xiao Dunhuang hugged his arms, saw the waiter shuttling with a plate, beckoned over, and took a glass of water for Jingyi to put in his hand.
Jing Yi raised his eyes to look at him, his already big eyes were wide open.
