Chapter 394: Match My Movements
, Xin Ren's appearance, representing the official start of tonight's cocktail party, Chen Jian did not have the bad habit of giving a large list of stinky and long so-called speeches first, so soon, melodious and beautiful dance music began to echo in the castle hall.
According to the usual practice, the first dance, of course, should be led by the master of Chen Jian, but to everyone's surprise, Chen Jian, who was very arrogant in the past, was actually very strong tonight, full of aristocratic style, he politely took the hand of the female magician Temp, slowly came to the center of the castle hall vacated by everyone, and danced to the sound of music.
During this time, the gossip about Lord Arthur's creation of several new dance moves has been circulating among the people, and most of the people are skeptical about this, and now they have seen a waltz that has never appeared in this world before, and everyone is in an uproar.
Chen Jian felt a little emotional in his heart at this time, he felt that his life was really wonderful, after coming to this world, once upon a time, he was just trying to be able to eat a piece of bread, in order to find a less cold and sheltered corner to sleep, at that time, he struggled desperately to survive. Willing to learn everything, willing to do everything. I only thought that one day, I could have a beautiful dinner in a warm house, and then sleep in bed covered with a thick quilt until dawn, which would be the greatest happiness.
Life during that time was like hell for Jian Chen, and he never thought about it. He has been a beggar, a coolie, a miscellaneous worker in a caravan, and after becoming a free adventurer, he has fought with robbers in the wilderness, fought with all kinds of monsters, and survived several times.
How many times he fell asleep in the rain in the wilderness, how many times he was dizzy from hunger in the streets, and if he had not adhered to certain moral limits, perhaps he would have become the most despicable. Mercenary murderer.
He still remembered how, on a cold and howling night, he was engaged in the fiercest ideological struggle of his life in a dilapidated house where an old man lived. The old man was thin and did not have any relatives, and more importantly. By chance, Jian Chen discovered that he had saved a sum of gold coins that was a huge amount of money for him at this time.
Jian Chen didn't have the confidence to sneak into the house without alarming the old man, but he was confident that he would strangle the emaciated old man to death in bed before he could react. Then he can get the gold coins that the old people always have with him, change into warm clothes, eat fragrant food, and go away, using the money to do something business, and better survive in this world.
In fact, the fairy intended to do the same, he entered the house through a window, and as he imagined, he alarmed the owner of the house, and succeeded in subduing the panicked poisonous man who tried to resist.
But in the end, when he staggered away from the dilapidated house in the cold wind, he did not kill anyone, nor did he take the gold coins, but only a piece of clothing, a little food, and left the village overnight.
Maybe this seems silly to some people, Chen Jian sometimes wonders if he is a bit of an idiot, after all, this is not the earth, this is the continent of Erathia, this is a chaotic, naked world of the jungle, bandits are rampant, wars are frequent, and human life is as cheap as grass.
But he had his own persistence, his own principles and came to his senses at the last moment.
A manly man, he has something to do and something not to do.
Chen Jian has never said these things to anyone, but at certain times, especially at some critical moments when important decisions must be made, he will unconsciously think of his decision that night, and then he will understand what he should do and what he should do.
It's just that he never thought that he would be able to get to where he is today, and he is now. has laid a small foundation, and countless people enthusiastically support him and follow him. His army was dead to him, and his people revered him like a god.
Feeling the awe-filled gazes of everyone in the hall when they looked at him, Jian Chen suddenly felt a pride in his heart, because he knew that he could do better and do more, and he also knew. For some. His own fake savior is actually the real savior.
So he laughed, laughed a lot.
"What do you think? Laughing so happily? Temple asked in a strange whisper, the two of them were in a similar and cooperative way. Although it was distracting, the dance steps did not stop at all, and they were still as perfect as flowing water.
"Nothing, just something came to mind!" Jian Chen said with a smile, "If I have a chance in the future, I will tell you again, now what I want to say is that you are so beautiful tonight!" I love it! ”
The compliment from her sweetheart made Temp's movements lighter, and she glanced at Jian Chen very charmingly: "Flamboyant guy!" Do you often say that to Acerena? Otherwise, how could she fall in love with such an inconspicuous guy as you? ”
When he mentioned this, Jian Chen was a little embarrassed, because he suddenly remembered that although he didn't say it so explicitly, many times he did like to say some more ambiguous jokes with the beautiful female guard captain.
But he didn't admit it: "Nonsense, aren't I handsome?" Temple didn't answer, just wanted to... smiled and said nothing, see Chen Jian's face! 's expression began to become depressed! Later, Xun Xi said with a smile: "You can do this matter yourself, Esreina is indeed good, but she is an angel clan, and the angel clan has never had a precedent for marrying a foreign clan, and no one knows what kind of reaction their clan will have at that time!" And Moryl's side, don't put it off any longer, don't always pretend to be a decent gentleman, you are actually very willing in your heart, you can't hide this from me, but I don't understand, what are you hesitating about? ”
Chen Jian became even more depressed when he heard this, thinking to himself if he could not hesitate to do this kind of thing? When you fight in the future, my heart and ears can't stand such a big stimulation.
Thinking about Esreina again, his head also hurt a little, saying that since the unexpected chest attack that night, the qi between Acereina and him has been weird, obviously the two are inseparable for a lot of time every day, but they can no longer laugh at will as they used to. Both of them deliberately avoided each other, and they seemed to be a lot stranger, and Jian Chen didn't like this feeling very much.
The end of the song. The applause in the hall was like thunder, Chen Jian did not rush to continue dancing, but took Temple to start shuttling through the crowd, greeting everyone one by one, Lord Arthur put down the shelf and took the initiative to show goodwill, of course everyone was overjoyed, for a while; The castle hall is bustling with activity.
What made Jian Chen a little strange was that Pete was not with Orison and the others, but hid in the corner with a handsome girl and whispered.
"When did Pete have a girlfriend?" Seeing Pete's uncharacteristically shy little boy. Talking to the girl awkwardly, Jian Chen was a little stunned while being happy for him, he didn't remember someone telling him about it.
Orison chuckled in a low voice, "I just hooked up!" That's the tip of Colum! ”
Robert and Polly also snickered, after they discovered Pete's abnormality, they encouraged the half-elves to take the initiative.
Chen Jian was a little dumbfounded by Orison's words: "Just hooked up?" ”
Temple glared at everyone angrily: "What hookup doesn't hook up?" It's a very good thing, but it becomes so unbearable in your mouth! ”
When the future president's wife spoke, everyone shrunk their necks, but they still squeezed their eyebrows at each other.
Chen Jian is sighing that being handsome is good, and even a bloody drama like love at first sight can happen. only to find that Orison looked at him with a strange expression, quite a little gloating.
Just as he was puzzled, Temple let go of the hand that had been holding him, smiled at him, and then drifted away, before leaving, he nodded lightly in a certain direction, and Jian Chen turned his head to look. But he saw Moryl walking slowly towards him.
"My lord, may I ask you to do a dance?" There was a hint of nervousness in Moryl's grinning voice, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Her initiative surprised Jian Chen: "Of course you can!" By this time, the music had started again. As the music sounded, pairs of men and women began to dance, and Jian Chen took Moryl's hand and joined them.
It's not the first time Jian Chen has danced with Moryl, in fact. It was he who taught Moryl to dance.
It's just that every time he faces Moryl, Chen Jian will be nervous for no reason, in front of Tempe, he is at ease and dares to say anything, but in front of Moryl, he can't say anything, and he doesn't have the calmness and calmness that the two usually talk about business.
And the tacit understanding between the two will suddenly disappear at this time, Chen Jianjue. His performance in the face of Moryl seems to be even more unbearable than the Pete he just saw.
Moriel was about to die of nervousness at this time, although the Dragon Queen's martial arts skills were the best in the world, but she didn't have any talent at all in dance skills, when Jian Chen taught her for the first time, she had already found that Moriel had no sense of musicality at all.
Dancing is really difficult for people who don't have a sense of musicality, because they can't get the beat right.
So it is not possible for Morriel not to be nervous, and the waltz, which should have been very smooth for the first time, actually made her dance out of the feeling of machine dance, and her movements were extremely stiff.
If it was someone else who behaved like this, it was estimated that they would have been ridiculed to death by the people around them, but now, no one dared to laugh at the clumsy pair of men and women in the field, and everyone consciously looked away and pretended not to see anything.
Who let these two people, the man is the current master of the Solo Peninsula, Lord Arthur, who controls all the power to kill people, but the woman is the dragon queen who used to be the mighty Negan and is known for her iron-blooded coldness? laughing at them, that's a little life that can't get along with it, and I don't know how it will be when I die.
Dancing like this is undoubtedly an embarrassing thing. Jian Chen originally thought that Moryl would give up, but he obviously underestimated the Dragon Queen's determination today, and Morvel had no intention of stopping at all, although he was nervous. Although she was flustered, her movements did not pause, her face was serious, her eyes were firm, and her lips were pursed.
Is she saying yes to me? Thinking like this, Jian Chen suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.
"Don't be nervous, don't care about the music, just match my movements!" He whispered to Moryl, in a gentle tone. (To be continued)
