At night, the autumn breeze is bleak.

Yun Shi sneaked out of the bedroom and walked down the stairs on tiptoe.

The hall on the first floor was silent, except for the flickering light of a pair of delicate candlesticks on the fireplace.

Yun Shi wore a short chestnut-colored trench coat and wore an evening gown, the hem of which rustled with her steps. She held her breath and listened, making sure no one had noticed, and then rushed out of the gate.

The house was built in a hidden place, and she had to walk for more than 30 minutes to reach the street. Yunshi nervously trotted all the way. It wasn't until I heard the horn of a car on the road that I breathed a sigh of relief.

She reached out and hailed a taxi. Like the driver showed Bobo a text message with an address. The driver turned the steering wheel familiarly and drove towards the destination.

Yun Shi looked at the lively street scene through the car window, and the mood was cheerful and happy.

As soon as the driver's car stopped, she immediately paid the fare. I couldn't wait to get out of the car with my skirt on my shoulder.

After entering the building, she took the elevator to the 18th floor. Step out of the elevator door and you'll see a long hallway with a colorful carpet leading to both sides. She was hesitating which side to go when she saw two women in evening dresses coming out of another elevator door, holding their arms and walking to the left. Yun Shi snickered and followed behind three or five wrong steps.

When I came to the door of the hall, I saw two doormen in black evening dresses standing on both sides waiting for the guests. They bowed and smiled at the three women and reached for their respective coats.

Yun Shi saw the two women in front of her hand them two gilded invitation cards, and panicked, oh no, she didn't have an invitation card.

She was thinking about how to make excuses, when she suddenly heard someone behind her hurriedly shouting to the doorman: "The manager asked me to help move the props to the hall, and the banquet added a lottery at zero hour!" ”

Yun Shi saw that the two of them were distracted and quietly slipped into the venue.

The scene inside the house stunned her, and she saw that everyone was wearing masks. She was a little overwhelmed, she didn't expect it to be a masquerade. A waiter approached her and enthusiastically asked, "Does Miss need a mask?" Yun Shi looked down and saw several beautifully shaped floor masks in the disc he was holding. She picked out a mask with pink feathers and put it on, and walked into the venue.

The venue was full of voices and cups. Yun Shi looked at the guests around her, trying to find Bobo and Xiaoying. She came to the table with the delicacies on display, saw the brightly colored cupcakes, and couldn't help but reach for one and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, two female guests in bandeau skirts surrounded them, each with an empty plate in their hands, chatting hot while choosing food.

"Have you chosen all the financial news hosts for the eight o'clock slot?"

"Although there are several candidates, I think it is none other than Chu Jingnan."

"Chu Jingnan? Are you talking about Zhao Ruyun's daughter? ”

"That's right."

Although she has Zhao Ruyun's face, compared to her qualifications and background, there are some stronger than her. I think that Han Minmin is good. I heard that her father and the senior management of the TV station are comrades-in-arms, and the shows she appears on are all sponsored by his father. ”

"Well, you don't know. I've heard ......" The woman paused at this point, leaned over to her companion and whispered.

"Really?" The companion was taken aback. "I didn't expect her to be so clever."

"What do you think? So everyone in the station said that no one dared to fight for Chu Jingnan. ”

The brightly lit hall suddenly darkened, and everyone fell silent. Then I heard the orchestra on the stage play a cheerful dance music, and a pair of beautiful people held hands in the center of the venue and began to dance. The rest of the guests began to applaud in accord, and after about 2 minutes of dancing, the beat of the dance music suddenly slowed down. At this time, everyone put down their food and wine glasses. The men invited a female guest from their side to dance with them.

Yun Shi watched as the women around her were invited to the dance floor, and she planned to retreat to the back to enjoy everyone's performance. She saw a man walking slowly towards her.

He was tall with broad shoulders and long legs. Dressed in a navy blue black shawl collar suit. Wear it with a white Windsor collar shirt and a black bow tie. He walked up to her, bowed slightly, and held out his right hand at the same time.

Yun Shi looked down at the bony palm in front of her, and her heart began to beat faster. She ignored her clumsy dancing and involuntarily stretched out her hand.

His large, warm, dry hand took Yunshi's small, wet hand and made her turn in the crook of his arm, and then his right hand gently attached to her waist and led her to dance to the music.

Yun Shi felt as if time was slowly frozen. There was only her and him left in the world. For the first time in her life, she was so close to a boy, surrounded by the crisp and dry scent of men. She couldn't see his face under the mask, and could only look up at his shining eyes.

Her intoxicated appearance came into his eyes. The hand around her thin waist was a little harder, and she leaned forward, her hands against his thick chest.

Yun Shi only felt that her whole body was going to be sucked into those deep dark eyes, and she awkwardly responded to his dance steps. Suddenly, her feet flashed, and the heel of her right foot was twisted, and she almost fell down.

Yun Shi was so embarrassed that she had to break free of her dance partner and leave in a hurry. She limped out of the venue when she suddenly heard someone shouting behind her.

"Are you okay?"

Yun Shi's whole person froze, and the voice was clearly -

How can it be? She must have misheard. She couldn't believe it and looked back to see that the person behind her was the male guest who had just invited her to dance.

He caught up and asked with concern. "Are you hurt?"

Yun Shi panicked in her heart, nodded hurriedly, and shook her head again.

Seeing that Yun Shi didn't speak, he asked again. "Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

Yun Shi hurriedly shook her head, covered her mask with her hands, and hurried forward without him.

The person behind her looked at her departing back and had to turn around. But he didn't take a few steps, and the strangeness in his heart made him turn around and run forward.

Yun Shi thought she had dumped him. Leaning against the wall, trying to breathe.

was caught by him. He cut her off. Ask her bluntly.

"Do you know me?"

“……”

"Why don't you speak?"

Yun Shi tilted her head, trying to avoid his gaze. He reached out and lifted her mask.

"Why are you here?" The person opposite was obviously stunned, and his eyes were complicated. He slowly took off his mask, it was Mu Kunlong.

When he first saw her, it was no wonder that he felt a sense of déjà vu. He looked at the rhyme.

The person in front of him had black hair hanging down on his waist, and he was wearing a blue round-necked dress, lined with skin like congealed fat and his face like peach blossoms. The petal-like skirt makes her appear slender and slender, and her posture is moving.

"I'm here for my classmates' party......" explained with a red face as the debunked Di Yunshi explained. I was puzzled: how could it not be the address here? Did the driver misread the text message?

"How did your classmates show up at the charity gala?" Mu Kunlong asked rhetorically.

Yun Shi scratched her head in frustration, her whole body having to lean against the wall behind her because of the pain in her feet.

Mu Kunlong squatted down and took out Yun Shi's right foot hidden in the hem of his skirt. Yun Shi was in pain, and subconsciously wanted to break free from his hand. He got up neatly and picked up Yun Shi into the lady's bathroom and placed her on the sink.

He gently took off his high heels. Check her injured ankle. Yun Shi picked up the broken heel, and she puffed and blew, trying with all her might to glue the crumbling heel back into place.

"How could you buy such stiff and ill-fitting shoes?" Mu Kunlong looked at her red and swollen ankles and asked coldly.

Yun Shi was silent. The shoes were not bought by her. Xiaolu's feet were half a size smaller than her, and she had no way to go to the utility room at home for a long time before she found a pair of high heels that could barely be worn.

He saw that she was still knocking the heel against the wall, and reached out to take the shoe, and the heel detached from the sole of the shoe with the force of his hand. Yun Shi was dumbfounded, she still had to dress to see Che Hao, how could she walk like this? I saw Mu Kunlong take off her other shoe again, and simply knocked off the heel.

"I can only walk away like this." After he finished speaking, he put her shoes on again.

Yun Shi got up and stepped on the ground, and suddenly felt comfortable and relaxed.

"Is your leg injury better?" Mu Kunlong looked at her, he hadn't seen her since the last time he rescued her. It's been almost a week.

"Much better." Yun Shi nodded a little unnaturally, and subconsciously pressed her hand on the skirt, not wanting to expose the scabbed scar.

"Where did you say you were going?"

Mu Kunlong's words reminded Yun Shi, and she hurriedly said, "By the way, my phone is in my coat." Bobo and Xiaoying must have been calling me all the time. She hurried out of the bathroom.

Yun Shi had just walked out of the corridor a few steps when she saw two female guests wearing masks walking towards her. Mu Kunlong, who was behind him, suddenly hugged Yun Shi in his arms and ordered softly.

"Put the mask on."

The female guests walked in, and the woman in the red pomegranate group on the right slowed down in front of them, then stopped beside them. She looked at Mu Kunlong and then lingered on Yun Shi for a moment. Said to Kun Long.

"I said I couldn't find you."

Yun Shi immediately recognized the voice as Uncle Mu's wife, He Lu.

"What's the matter?" Mu Kunlong hugged the masked rhyme, his face calm.

"It's not a big deal." He Lu's voice was always gentle. "The CEO of a realistic company would like to talk to you."

"I see." Mu Kunlong nodded.

"This is ......," He Lu curiously rested on Yun Shi's body. It was the first time she had seen Mu Kunlong so affectionately hugging a woman to attend a dinner.

"A friend I met when I was studying in the UK came to China to accompany me these days." Mu Kunlong explained dryly.

"I see." He Lu nodded, her tone kind. "This dress is so beautiful. Tell her that she can come and sit at home when she has time. With that, she went into the bathroom with her companion.

Mu Kunlong saw her leaving, and gently let go of Yun Shi in his arms. Yun Shi was overly nervous, and suddenly started a cold separation. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen to He Lu if she found out about herself.

"With the guts of a mouse, he dares to run out at night." Mu Kunlong patted her head and couldn't help but laugh at her appearance.
