67 On the banks of the Silang River
Love can make people happy, but it can also teach people to grieve. Just when Luo Ning was shocked and resentful, her expression was in a trance, and on her side, Qi Mi, who was also uneasy, didn't know how to comfort her, on the embankment of the Xilang River not far from them, Derek excitedly pulled Lili and boarded his luxury yacht.
"Such good weather is the most suitable for taking a boat ride on the Xilang River to enjoy the scenery! Lili! You see, how beautiful the Xilang River is in the sun! Lili didn't try to break her slender hand out of Derek's grasp, much to Derek's ecstasy when he had been shut in front of Lili.
"Well, it's beautiful! I've been to Paris many times before, but this is the first time I've taken a boat ride on the Xilang River in the sun. "Lili is also in a good mood.
"Wow. Then I'm so honored! I can get the honor of being a travel companion for the first trip to Lili Xilang River! Derek took a deep breath in the river breeze before continuing, "Under the clear breeze and sun, you must be accompanied by good wine!" That's right! The feeling of basking in the sun and fighting in the wind is really wonderful. Lili! You should definitely try it. ”
"Really? Is it really that good? ”
"Ahh Hold on! With that, Derek strode to the bar in the cabin, whipping up a bunch of bartenders and bottles of million-dollar wines.
"You can also bartend?"
"The wine for the goddess must be unique! So, I'll have to make you a drink myself! As he spoke, Derek had mixed several kinds of wine with some special preparations, and with great skill, he added the blended wine to the shaker and shook it.
"Have you changed bars for a lot of girls?"
Lili's inadvertent teasing made Derek, who had been in love for a long time, blush.
However, Derek quickly steadied himself and replied with a smile, "Now I know that it was all practice for me to mix this glass of wine for you." As he spoke, he poured the prepared cocktail out of the shaker, added ice cubes, inserted lemons, and held it in front of Lili, "Goddess Xilang River Sunshine Special Drink, Miss Lili is invited to taste it." ”
This special drink blended by Derek has a refreshing aroma in the front, a refreshing and sweet mouth, and a long aftertaste with an endless aftertaste.
"Well, it's delicious." After tasting the wine, Lili couldn't help but admire.
“Yes!” Derek, who was already extremely excited to be recognized by Lili, jumped up with his fists excitedly, "I am satisfied if I can make you like it!" ”
Derek's childlike behavior made Lili laugh. She didn't say anything more, but walked to the bow of the cruise ship with a smile on her face.
As the cruise ship progressed, the river breeze caressed Lili's face, raised her hair, and the sweetness of the special wine in her mouth mixed with the fresh river breeze, making it even more fragrant. The smell was so intoxicating to Lili that she couldn't help but close her eyes and soak in the pleasure she hadn't experienced before.
Derek stared at Lili dancing in the sunlight from behind, and suddenly felt that she was full of fairy energy. He had seen many beautiful women from this perspective, but none of them made him as fascinated and timid as Lili. He was eager to step forward and take her tightly into his arms, but he was afraid that if he got close to her, she would fly away and never be able to touch her again.
Derek, who was hesitant, could only take a large sip of the spirit. It was only with the strength of the alcohol that Derek finally mustered up the courage to walk towards Lili.
But just as Derek was about to spread his arms, he was interrupted by an untimely shout from a crowd in a square by the river not far away.
The chanting of the crowd also reached the ears of Qi Mi and Luo Ning on the other side of the square.
After Luo Ning fainted, she did not completely lose consciousness. When she was about to fall, Qi Mi hugged her in time to prevent her from falling straight to the ground.
Qi Mi was anxious and wanted to carry Luo Ning back to the hotel, but she asked to let her lie on the grass for a while.
At that moment, Luo Ning felt that she needed the sun more than ever, and needed the warmth of the sun. The haze that had shrouded her for several years was suddenly torn apart by the light of truth, and with it came a stirring mood.
She should have been glad about it, but the truth was so dazzling and unacceptable that she couldn't look at it directly, just like the scorching sun in the blue sky, just like Qi Mi beside her.
But the piercing truth also made her feel warm at the same time, and made her dead heart beat again. She needs this truth, just like she needs Qi Mi's embrace, just like she needs the sunshine that sprinkles on her.
However, at this time, Luo Ning, who was in a surging mood, really didn't dare to look directly at Qi Mi, nor could she tell Qi Mi what she had experienced over the years and how she felt at the moment, because she really couldn't calmly face everything that had happened in the past few years and completely changed her life.
At this moment, she just needs Qi Mi to be by her side, accompany her silently, don't say anything, don't do anything, just silently guard her and don't leave.
However, the sudden burst of urgent shouts not far away made Luo Ning temporarily break free from the whirlpool of inner turmoil, because she had just experienced a terrorist attack, she became extremely sensitive to the shouts of the crowd, for fear that Qi Mi beside her would be injured by protecting herself.
Qi Mi understood Luo Ning's sudden opening of her eyes at once. Seeing her eyes open suddenly, he whispered to her, "It's okay, someone is making a speech." Don't worry. Are you feeling better? ”
Luo Ning, who was still not calm, couldn't help but rub Qi Mi's face with his eyes, and didn't answer, just nodded lightly.
Before Qi Mi could speak again, there was another burst of cheers in the square. It was a response from supporters to a proposal by a candidate for the Ilo coalition presidency to "increase security and establish a stricter system for the admission and residency of the Donbhu."
Under the cover of that new round of cheers, Derek took several deep breaths before finally making up his mind to take Lili into his arms, whatever the consequences of doing so.
"Giving a speech in Peace Square is not small." Unfortunately, Lili spotted Derek's attempt just in time, and before his outstretched arms fell on him, she stepped forward to avoid his embrace, and quickly turned around, stared into his eyes, and said to him.
Facing Lili again, Derek's hard-earned courage was instantly exhausted. Her beautiful eyes clearly told him, "The time has not yet come!" Don't be reckless! ”
Slightly disappointed, Derek had no choice but to follow Lili's words and continued: "Ah. It looks like a presidential candidate is canvassing for votes. It seems that Lili knows a lot about the history of Peace Square, huh? ”
"Not really. Just know some common sense. It's a stage for a change of times. The king who built him must not have imagined that years later, his people would set off a revolution to overthrow him, using this square as a show to overthrow the rule of his descendants and execute members of the royal family. For some reason, thinking about the history of Peace Square, Lili's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.
