Ephemeris 8997 October 25.

Shrouded in the darkness of the night, Hall Castle is mysterious and magnificent, like a country in a fairy tale about to be murdered by an evil witch, and it is vaguely ominous.

But in the castle, it's a different story.

Through AR technology, this beautiful castle seems to wash away the wind and frost that has been precipitated over the years, the towering ancient trees around the castle, the elves flying among the flowers in the forest, and the small animals full of curiosity about the outside world, they have gathered to celebrate the birthday of the princess who lives in the castle, and send her a gift that they have carefully collected, or a small flower, or a few pine nuts, or a few feathers......

Qin Sui stood in front of the window, looking at the elf in the flower garden outside, with a faint smile on his lips, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is probably the world that many children want to realize, right?" It's kind of interesting. ”

"Although Sharp is not very good in other aspects, he is extremely caring for his only daughter, Ophelia." Yang Lie sighed, "Obviously, everyone knows what the situation will be tonight, but before the dream is shattered, he also hopes to build a beautiful fairy tale world for Ophelia." ”

"Oh...... In that case, we are evil wizards, or brutal dragons. Poor kings and princesses, soon their dreams will be awakened. ”

An elf was attracted by the bright light from the window, and came over curiously, Qin Sui stretched out his hand with great interest, and nodded through the window, it flapped its wings as if frightened and flew away quickly.

"You see, even the imaginary elves hate us."

Yang Lie didn't have a girl's heart, so he didn't feel anything about it, he only glanced at it and got down to business again, "Okay, the banquet will start soon, we will be separated for the time being, but I will come over as soon as possible." The craft is ready, and once the things are in hand, we're going to leave Hall, far away......"

"Well, anyway, everything we can do has already been done, and the next thing can only be decided by God - although it is often said that man will conquer heaven, but sometimes, fate is really something that people have to obey."

Qin Sui rarely sighed with emotion, and sometimes, she was still full of awe for some things, but this awe was often suppressed for various reasons.

"If the operation fails, that's my life, you don't have to be sad for me." Yang Lie patted her on the shoulder, "I know you're just used to having someone to accompany you, but even if I'm gone, your life is still long, and you will always find someone else who is willing to walk with you." ”

To be honest, the relationship between the two is quite odd. They have both had unbearable pasts, seen each other's ugliest side, and because of this, it is difficult for them to have any uncontrollable admiration for each other - people do not fall in love with ugly things, what triggers love is only the flash of light.

But Yang Lie knows that he loves Qin Sui, maybe it's not real love, but isn't there a saying that "companionship is the most affectionate confession", he is willing to accompany her for the rest of his life, so what's the matter if it's love?

And Qin Sui ...... She's just deliberately dissociating herself from the past—once she had to be alone, now she has to have someone by her side; Once she had to do evil, now she does good things when she wants to, and does bad things when she wants to......

The reason why she came all the way to Hall Star for Yang Lie to blend into this muddy water was not for Yang Lie, she was just afraid of returning to the previous depression and loneliness that no one understood.

Qin Sui glanced at Yang Lie, "Okay, don't say these frustrating words, don't you know that you are almost equivalent to a flag?" ”

Yang Lie couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that Qin Sui liked to gag when faced with words that he didn't want to answer, and it was the same now—unfortunately, at this time, he still couldn't bear to expose her.

"I'm leaving."

Lest Yang Lie say anything more, Qin Sui looked at himself left and right for a while, checked if he had brought anything he should bring, and then waved his hand at him and walked away without looking back.

Yang Lie smiled, and watched her leave quietly, as he had done many times in the past.

Banquet hall.

Today's banquet hall was more lively than any other day, and the guests arrived one after another, all with light but not hypocritical smiles on their faces, which showed that the people who came were accustomed to this kind of banquet and knew how to maintain their most elegant side.

The light music poured from the fingers and lips of the musicians, making the atmosphere of the banquet seem relaxed and joyful, and the jewels of the ladies glittered in the light, shining brighter than their smiles; The men's wine glasses were filled with all kinds of fine wines, and the clinking glasses jingled bells, revealing all the unspoken tacit understanding.

Qin Sui didn't come early or late, and when she walked into the banquet hall, there were many people with her, and she didn't attract too much attention.

At this time, she couldn't see the gangsterism and ruthlessness in private at all, and she was no different from most of the ladies and celebrities in the scene, and even better than them.

Qin Sui stretched out his hand to take a glass of wine, and he nested in the corner alone to silently observe the surrounding situation, taking a sip from time to time.

There were not a few people like her, although the atmosphere in the banquet hall was brisk, but so was the bowstring before it was taut, and many well-informed people knew that there was no good banquet today, so they would naturally be a little more vigilant.

"Miss Qin is particularly brilliant today." A figure suddenly walked over from the side, his face made Qin Sui feel a little unfamiliar, "I have long felt that Miss Qin is the most suitable for this kind of dress, the jewelry on your body can't hide the slightest bit of your brilliance, but it looks like ...... The stars arch over the moon. ”

Qin Sui didn't recognize anyone at first glance, but after he finished speaking, after a little thought, she guessed the identity of the other party - Enge. This guy is the same as her, the vest is layer after layer.

Qin Sui didn't take Enge's compliments to heart at all, Enge's nation is like this, it's just a lot of grandeur to praise people, and if you believe it, you will lose.

"Thank you, you're handsome today, too, and I think she'll be honored if you would invite any lady to dance with."

"So what if I invite you?" Enge leaned closer, his tone ambiguous.

"Naturally, it's a pity that now is not the time to dance, let's wait for the little princess to finish the first dance."

Qin Sui was not shy at all, she could be regarded as an expert in this line of work - besides, Eng was not really flirtatious at all, but was just testing whether she knew what would happen tonight.

Wait for Ophelia to finish her first dance...... At that time, it was hard to say whether the banquet could be held or not!

Eng complained secretly, knowing that the other party was also prepared, so he no longer tried anything, but talked to her normally.
