The black wolf with the peacock, the prince with the princess. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at John who was slowly walking towards Grace, everyone automatically made up the following picture, just like in the fairy tale, the best naturally has to be paired with the most beautiful.
But they forgot one thing, John was not a prince, nor was he the best person, and for a man who had nothing to do because he was bored, fairy tales were just a bad joke.
John smiled and walked forward,
In Gretel's gnashing gaze,
In the shame that Evelyn didn't dare to look at,
Walked up to the ball queen, looked at the nervous but pretended arrogant woman in front of her, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her steps moved sideways, walking past her.
A breeze swept across her cheeks, and Grace froze, the nervousness, uneasiness, and anticipation in her heart all disappeared in an instant, but her expression was like dry concrete frozen on that pretty face.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and she didn't know how long it took, until a word came from behind her, and she came back from her daze.
"Beautiful young lady, may I ask you to do a dance?"
Evelyn looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and her emerald green eyes were drowned in the mist, like two brilliant emeralds.
She looked ahead in a daze, the black wolf mask was so familiar, but the words that came to her ears were so unfamiliar.
"Are you talking to me?" She said timidly,
John shrugged and said, "Is there another lady in front of me?" ”
"But... But you're not going to dance with her? ”
"That's just a joke!"
"Jokes?" Evelyn blinked, a little puzzled, "Why are you making such a joke?" ”
"Because tonight is so boring." John smiled and said, "Remember what I told you?" ”
"Which one?"
"What's the point of dancing with someone you don't know?" John repeated what he had said before, then put his left hand on his chest, reached out to her with his right hand, and smiled, "Beautiful young lady, can you dance with me?" ”
The girl hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and found that everyone was looking this way, her face flushed slightly, and she held out her hand to put it in John's palm with the shame in her heart.
Seeing this scene, the people around him suddenly became strange.
Eyes constantly roamed back and forth between John and Grace, and even the most stupid people understood what they meant.
The prom queen was actually abandoned, and the one who abandoned her chose an ugly duckling with a gray rabbit mask.
This is not a story of Cinderella, nor is it a copy of the ugly duckling, there is no such fable in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and people naturally cannot guess what John really thinks in his heart.
Don't let the proud and beautiful peacock go, but choose a dry rabbit.
Could it be that the big black wolf and the little gray rabbit are a perfect match?
People didn't understand, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention, and as the stage symphony sounded, the ball returned to its previous bustle again, as if nothing had happened.
But how can the parties who have experienced this first-hand forget it.
A cold chill came out of that moving body, and Grace breathed heavily, exuding a breath from top to bottom of her body.
She stood there motionless for a long time, trembling and gritting her teeth.
From childhood to adulthood, when has she been so humiliated, and has been so ignored, the resentment in her heart has deepened over time,
She wanted to scream loudly, but her upbringing didn't allow her to do so.
She wanted to forget about it, but the black wolf mask appeared more and more clearly in her mind, as if it was directly imprinted in the depths of her memory.
"Damn bastard, why don't you die!"
……
"Isn't there something wrong with you doing this?"
Looking at Grace not far away, Evelyn, who was dancing with John, said uneasily,
"What's wrong?"
"It's embarrassing for you to invite her and then ignore her."
Hearing this, John's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be quite kind,
But, girl, don't you feel disappointed to ask your dance partner who is dancing with you such a thing? ”
The girl was suddenly embarrassed, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice,
"It's a bit of a disappointment, but can you stop calling me a girl, I'm sixteen."
"You don't look like sixteen at all, except for that face, of course!" John laughed wickedly,
"Humph!"
The girl snorted heavily, feeling a little angry in her heart, and wanted to part with him but was reluctant, so she had to say angrily,
"I just haven't grown up, and in a few years, I'm going to be pretty and prettier than everybody here."
"Oh! So confident? It can't be bragging!"
"Don't brag, my mother is very beautiful, even more beautiful than the woman with the peacock mask, I am her daughter, and I will definitely be like her in the future."
The girl said with her head held high, with a strong self-confidence in her words,
But somehow, it was her short, balding father who came to mind, and John couldn't stop laughing at the thought of some strange images.
"Are you laughing at me?" Evelyn said with an unkind face,
He hurriedly shook his head and laughed in a low voice, "I was just thinking about a question, since your mother is so beautiful, how did your father marry her back then?" ”
"You... You ......" Evelyn grinded her teeth, she knew the meaning of John's words, and her heart was ashamed, and she wanted to punch that hateful face,
"You're so hateful!" The girl said angrily,
"Alright, let's not talk about that!"
John said with a straight face, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden,
At this moment, the symphonic dance stopped, and the dance should be over, and he patted the girl's head, and was about to speak, when a figure suddenly fell from the sky out of the corner of his eye.
Rumble!
The figure fell from the top floor and landed heavily on the floor, clicking, cracks in the wooden floor, and the surrounding ladies let out a hysterical scream.
The guards who rushed over when they heard the sound hurriedly walked over and pushed away the crowd, but the next moment, they were completely stunned,
I saw that the person who fell into the floor slowly got up as if he was not injured, his eyes instantly turned amber, the black hair broke through the evening dress, his body was raised, and his limbs grew sharp claws in a creaking sound of bone breaking!
"This is..."
Whew!
A suppressed howl that did not resemble a human voice exploded in the hall, and the air surged, and boundless killing intent filled the air, making the chaotic hall extremely quiet for a moment, and then exploded in an even more violent manner.
"Giant... Wolf! ”
Trembling voices were mixed with deep fear, and countless screams echoed through the halls, as people pushed and shoved each other, scrambling to run out.
For a moment, the entire hall was completely chaotic.
