Chapter 14 A touching song
The two of them were a little curious, but they didn't pay much attention, they still had a mission to do tonight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The teacher said that he could find information related to the orb here tonight." Gretel frowned and whispered, "But we've been watching here for an hour and haven't found anything, do you think the teacher is mistaken." ”
Han Seel thought for a moment and shook his head slowly, "Probably not, this is information from the headquarters, there will be no mistake." ”
"Wait, it's time to come."
……
And at this time, the sharp-eyed witch turned around and suddenly found that John, who had been leaning against the window and drinking, had disappeared.
Only an empty wine glass remained in the airy window, but the person sitting at the glass was nowhere to be seen.
Gretel's curiosity led to look for the black wolf in the crowd, and her eyes widened when her eyes inadvertently fell to the center of the hall.
"What the hell is this bastard trying to do?"
John was so bored that the idea of sitting in the corner and watching people laugh and chat was not for him.
And since you came here and didn't leave a trace, how could you be worthy of the black wolf on the mask.
He put down his glass, walked down the second floor, and walked straight to the center of the hall.
Here, there is a group of young men and women who are laughing.
And that queen with the peacock mask is the center of this group.
John pushed away the man who was in the way, walked up to her, bowed slightly, and smiled,
"Beautiful young lady, can I ask you to dance?"
The sudden invitation made everyone who was talking and laughing freeze all of a sudden, and Grace, who was wearing a peacock mask, was stunned for a moment, and declined with a smile,
"Sorry, I already have a dance partner!"
When the words fell, the people around looked at John's eyes and suddenly smiled a little, especially the four men, their eyes were even more unkind, they knew Grace, and they waited here for a long time to win the opportunity to dance with her for the first time, how to let an outsider take the lead.
John smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment on his face, and said,
"There are many ways to refuse someone else's invitation, the simple and crude is to refuse directly, and the smart and tactful is to let the other party know the difficulty and retreat, as a graduate of the College of William and Mary, why don't you choose the latter?"
The atmosphere became a little weird, several people looked at each other, they didn't expect this guy with a black wolf mask to say such a thing, and the people who entered this circle were all descendants of celebrities who were either rich or noble, and they all claimed to be high-class people, so they were naturally embarrassed to do some simple and rude things.
The four men frowned, their eyes were full of displeasure, and they wanted to scold loudly, but because of their status, they could not speak, so they could only glare at John fiercely with unkind eyes.
The girl next to her whispered a few words, and Grace, who was wearing a peacock mask, shook her head slightly, rejected her companion's proposal, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice,
"You want to invite me to dance!"
"Of course!"
"Well, if you can make the dance quiet for a minute, I'll say yes!"
The girl spoke unhurriedly, making a strange request, seemingly simple, but extremely difficult to do, to silence such a noisy dance party for a minute would have to attract everyone's attention, but what could attract everyone's attention?
Come to think of it, there are only those unseemly, clown-like farces, but after doing such a thing, there is a lady who will agree to your invitation.
Very clever thing to do.
John smiled and said,
"Beautiful young lady, are you sure you won't change it?"
"Of course!" Grace raised her head, her eyes hidden under the mask flickering inexplicably, "If you find it difficult, you can withdraw the invitation you just made!" ”
"No, no, it's good to be difficult, otherwise what's the fun!"
John turned to leave, and when he missed Grace's body, he chuckled, "Wait for me for two minutes, maybe I'll be back in two minutes." ”
After saying this, he touched his chest with his left hand and walked backwards into the stage behind him.
"He's not really going to act like a clown!" The female companion beside Grace didn't know what picture came to mind, and she shuddered, "That's too disgusting." ”
"He wouldn't do that." Grace said expressionlessly,
"Why?"
"Intuition!"
John came to the stage, looked around casually, then walked straight to the corner, reached out and patted the musician on the shoulder, and said with a smile,
"There's a lady waiting for me to play a piece for her, can I borrow your piano if I don't bother?"
"Absolutely!"
The musician nodded kindly, got up to make room, there are few simple people who can come here, he knows this, naturally he will not cause trouble for no reason.
"Thank you very much."
John sat down in his chair, touched the keys once, and after making sure that it was correct, he let out a sigh of relief, and a melodious piece of music came out at the fluctuation of the keys.
Piano music of the night!
Slow, melodious, and simple touches contain calming power.
The sound of the piano is like a spring breeze, like a drizzle, moisturizing things silently, which is the most moving.
As the sound spread, the musicians stopped and looked behind them curiously.
They had never heard such a fresh tune before, and they were curious to know who was playing this piece.
The stage music disappeared, and the dancing men and women felt strange, so they stopped and looked at the stage curiously, wondering what was going on.
And those who were talking loudly noticed the strangeness around them, so they were naturally embarrassed to continue, turned their bodies slightly, and looked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from.
One was quiet, two were quiet, three were quiet, and everywhere was quiet, and then all the sounds were gone, and all that remained in the empty hall was the melodious sound of the piano and the man in the mask of the black wolf.
Piano music of the night five!
One man's night, one man's piano!
Happy memories, sweet childhood, and family love, like the sound of the piano ticking in the mind, make people miss the person buried in the memory.
Everyone was quiet and intoxicated by the beautiful music.
Gretel's mouth opened, looking at the man who was calm and calm in countless eyes, and anger came out of her heart without warning.
This bastard, where he doesn't play the piano, but he plays here, it's really ...... It's infuriating.
The witcher's heart was empty, as if she had lost something.
Frank's eyes were wide open, and the only thing in his pupils was the black wolf mask that shimmered in the candlelight.
"It's... Gentleman! ”
He covered his forehead exaggeratedly, his face full of incredulity, when did he learn this kind of music.
In the southernmost window on the third floor, when the sound of the piano came, a middle-aged man with eyes appeared by the window, looking to be in his forties and fifties, with a scar on his face, a dark gold pattern on his collar, and four gemstone rings on each hand, the largest of which was even one size larger than a pea.
He coughed slightly, his face was pale and sickly, and his dark brown eyes did not look at John, who was playing the piano, but stopped motionless on the woman with the peacock mask.
Grace Lewis!
The daughter of the count, the heir to a million-dollar fortune, if anyone was born proud, it was her, but at this moment, her mind went blank, and all pride was lost.
"He actually did it, what should I do?"
"Do you really want to dance with him for the first time of the night?"
Her heart was pounding, she was a little nervous, nervous and expectant, her eyes kept flashing, and she didn't know what to do.
A piano song touches people's hearts and disturbs the heartstrings of many ignorant girls.
Evelyn sobbed sadly, she had been here for a long time, and no one was paying attention to her, this was her first ball! Do you want to spend it alone? It's so hateful.
In everyone's unfinished eyes, the piano music came to an end.
John pressed the last key, stood up, bowed slightly, and in an instant, applause erupted like thunder.
He stepped off the stage and walked towards the proud purple peacock under everyone's gaze.
