The silver phantom car blew through the wide road like a gust of wind, and the white beam pierced a gray sky, slowing down and stopping steadily at the door of the ball hall.

Chiba Shu elegantly raised his right hand, revealing a golden watch inside, the watch hand pointed to 8:50, except for the two minutes when he went downstairs and rubbed off, Chiba Shu really only took 8 minutes to drift to his destination.

Richard thanked him gratefully, broke down the door, and trotted into the ballroom.

"Don't embarrass Lao Tzu!" Chiba Xiu looked at Richard's back and roared with a wicked smile, "Don't come back if you fight for it at night!" ”

But Richard didn't seem to hear Chiba Shu's words, and his figure had already flashed into the ballroom.

"Ace, can we follow in to protect the boss?" As soon as he turned around, he was looking at Chiba Shu with a smile.

"No, you can't." Chiba Xiu said lazily, flicking the back of the car, the phantom car returned to the spacious road, and Lang couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when he heard the anger, and even the silent wind on the side seemed to have some regret.

Chiba Xiu's eyes looked at the two brothers who were slightly bored and depressed in the back seat through the rearview mirror of the car, and his voice suddenly became cold:

"We have another mission."

……

……

Walking into the dance hall, Richard was slightly nervous and sweating a little on his forehead, but when he pushed the door in, seventy percent of the eyes of the entire dance hall were cast suspiciously, and after seeing the person clearly, these doubtful eyes immediately became admiration, jealousy or surprise.

Indeed, after Richard has been guided and matched by ace Chiba Xiu, he now has the lethal power of a girl killer.

As for the other thirty percent, their eyes were firmly fixed on the back of a woman by the floor-to-ceiling window, and even if someone suddenly pushed the door in, it did not wake them up from some kind of beautiful yearning.

Richard followed the group's line of sight and was stunned for a moment.

A young girl in a black evening dress is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the black dress with an open back design sets off her figure almost perfectly, and the slender willow waist can be grasped. Her exposed white skin not only makes people unable to covet half of it, but also vividly publicizes her impenetrable appearance.

Richard could have flipped out all the words that could be used to describe beauty in the dictionary to decorate the girl, but at this moment, only a blank space was left in his mind, so that the words that could be used to describe beauty lost their original color.

A person can be so beautiful!

The most thrilling thing is that when Richard was looking at the girl stupidly, the girl standing in front of the window in a daze seemed to hear the sudden chaotic sounds around her, and turned back to Richard and smiled. After seven days of not seeing each other, Zhan Qinghan appeared in front of Richard again.

The voices around him stopped, and with the remaining thirty percent, the eyes of the entire dance hall were on Richard, and Richard walked towards Zhan Qinghan.

"Why are you here alone? Didn't go dancing? Richard asked, looking at the girl's thin figure.

"How do you know I'm not dancing?" Zhan Qinghan asked very lightly.

yes...... It's been nearly an hour since the dance, and she must have danced with someone else.

Richard didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, was it because she invited him to be his male companion but went to dance with someone else? But it was clear that he had missed the appointment first, who told Richard to be a full 50 minutes late?

The corners of Richard's mouth hooked up a trace of bitterness, and he missed the opportunity to dance with her for the first time......

Just as the two of them were embarrassed to fall into a speechless state, the surrounding chatter exploded again after a brief pause.

"Is this the girl standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window waiting for?"

"No, I turned down the invitation of more than a dozen people, but it still looks like a good match......

"You know what! This guy doesn't just look better in his skin, he just has a little white face, can he compare with our big brother Liu Qing? ”

"Didn't your big brother Liu Qing be injured by the freak Richard from that medical hospital last time, and he is still lying in bed?"

"Huh? Wait, what do I think that guy looks a bit like that freak Richard......"

Richard listened to the chatter around him, and his heart suddenly jumped uncompetitively, could it be that she has been waiting for me?

He turned his head to look at Zhan Qinghan, and saw that the girl's cheeks were already slightly flushed in the surrounding discussions, so Richard blurted out and said, "You have been waiting for me for this hour?" ”

Zhan Qinghan was stunned for a moment, the ruddy on her face deepened, and she said lightly, "It's just that I haven't found a suitable dance partner......

Richard couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Zhan Qinghan's words! Doesn't finding the right dance partner mean that she hasn't accepted anyone's invitation to dance?

In other words, isn't that waiting for yourself?

So Richard decided to be cheeky, he took Zhan Qinghan's hand and looked at the beautiful woman with burning eyes, "Then let's go dance!" ”

After speaking, he didn't give Zhan Qinghan a chance to refuse, and directly pulled the girl to the center of the dance floor, Zhan Qinghan's hand was held by Richard and couldn't help but struggle twice, but Richard held it tighter, and Zhan Qinghan could only look at the back of Richard pulling her into the dance floor with complicated eyes, biting her red lip and scolding, "Hooligan!" ”

Richard was scolded so much that he had only one thought in his heart at the moment:

Dance with her and dance unscrupulously in front of everyone!

Holding Zhan Qinghan's slender hand, the girl's hand was soft and a little cool, which made Richard extremely comfortable to hold, so Richard grinned, walked to the center of the dance floor and pulled the girl into his arms, and danced his first dance arrogantly in the eyes of envy and hatred around him.

Holding the girl in his arms tightly, Richard just wanted to indulge in this fragrance like this, forgetting the inner ghost in the Death Rift, forgetting the enemy attack in the air two hours ago, forgetting his blue blood, and finally forgetting everything......

I don't know if it was the pressure that had been hoarded in the Death Rift that was suddenly released, or whether it was Richard's instinct that drove him, Richard stopped dancing, but hugged the girl in his arms tighter and tighter, so tight that even he could hardly breathe......

"Richard, you let go...... Let go of me. Zhan Qinghan struggled violently.

Richard increased the strength of his arm, greedily enjoying the body temperature and fragrance on Zhan Qinghan's body.

It wasn't until a sharp pain came from Richard's foot that he woke him up from his slumber.

Zhan Qinghan bit her lip and glared at Richard, "Is there anyone like you dancing?" ”

"This ...... I just want to hug you......" Richard said rather shamelessly.

Zhan Qinghan looked at Richard with complicated eyes, what did he say was complicated? Because at that moment, Richard couldn't guess what Zhan Qinghan was thinking, but he could feel that there were a lot of things hidden in her eyes, which was a helpless and complaining look, which seemed to be faintly resisting something, which made Richard a little confused and incomprehensible for a while.

"Can't you dance properly?"

Richard hesitated for a moment and nodded, it was really difficult for him to concentrate on the pas de deux under such a preconceived premise, let alone ...... Zhan Qinghan was wearing a backless outfit today, and when he held her, Richard could feel the thrilling silky touch coming from her back from time to time.

"Then let's get out of the rut." Zhan Qinghan's voice couldn't hear emotion.

"Huh?" Richard was a little disappointed.

"Stupid, go out and blow the wind to make you sober up!" Zhan Qinghan looked at Richard's depressed expression and couldn't help but smile lightly, and after holding the other party's arm, he dragged out his voice, and said in a tone like coaxing children, "Let's go~ I heard that there will be a lantern festival in Luoyan Valley tonight~"

Richard was pulled out by Zhan Qinghan, he didn't react for a while, and ecstasy jumped from his toes to the top of his head, causing him to not even notice how strange every word Zhan Qinghan said and every action he made tonight compared to usual......

……

……

Walking down the empty streets, the icy night wind finally suppressed the heat in Richard's heart. Wearing Richard's coat, Zhan Qinghan held Richard's arm and pointed along the way, and the two of them stopped and frolicked from time to time.

"Hey, look, there's a sky lantern over there." While the two were fighting, Zhan Qinghan suddenly pointed to the sky behind Richard.

Richard turned his head and saw one after another sky lanterns slowly rising in the dark night, lighting up one of the most beautiful night scenes in the endless night.

Strange to say, in this era of advanced technology, things like sky lanterns should have been eliminated a long time ago, but surprisingly, not only sky lanterns, but also many by-products of traditional festivals before the century have been retained, just like today, when flexible touch screen e-books are prevalent, many people still retain the habit of reading physical books.

There are some things that cannot be judged solely on the basis of practical value and economic interests.

Because of this, Richard and Zhan Qinghan were fortunate enough to participate in the seemingly boring and time-consuming activity of putting sky lanterns after the ball.

"Have you written it well?" Zhan Qinghan pulled the sky lantern and urged Richard.

"Right now! Right away! Richard hurriedly added a few words to the sky lantern, and then grinned with satisfaction and said, "All right! ”

"Long-winded." Zhan Qinghan glanced at Richard, and then asked like a curious baby, "What did you write?" ”

"Then tell me what you wrote first." Richard smiled wickedly.

"Cut," Zhan Qinghan snorted lightly and said nonchalantly, "Then let's just start putting it away." ”

"Three"

"Two"

"One"

"Make a wish!"

Zhan Qinghan hurriedly clenched his hands and closed his eyes.

Silently reciting the wish he had written on the sky lantern, Richard took the lead in making a wish and opened his eyes, and he looked at the pious girl standing opposite him in a daze, the moonlight sprinkled on her white face, and Richard once again felt the urge to take her into his arms.
