Chapter 163: Deck Ball

The two ferries that had completed the delivery mission began to return, and the Titanic sounded its whistle, and the huge chimney spewed black smoke and began to slowly speed away from Cherbourg. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

By this time it was completely dark, but the deck had become lively, and several waiters had begun to busily decorate the deck, and some had brought long tables, apparently to set up the ball.

Two crew members pushed a black piano and walked out of the cabin, Ye Xue and Liu Minghao stopped and stepped back to make way for the passage, when a child's noise sounded, and several little boys rushed over the deck and hit one of the crew members.

The crew member shook his feet, and the heavy piano immediately lost control, sliding down the slope rapidly, and once it overturned, it would crush the two children below, and the faces of the two crew members could not help but change greatly, and several attendants next to them also let out a burst of exclamation.

The huge black piano began to tilt, several little boys screamed and fled in all directions, one of them was squeezed to the ground in panic, and seeing that he was about to be crushed underneath, Liu Minghao stepped forward, dragged the heavy piano, and pushed the piano back with a sudden force of his arm.

The little boy who survived the disaster opened his eyes wide in horror, tears quickly welled up in his eyes, and Yexue came over and whispered comfort.

The two crew members let out a sigh of relief, and one of them looked at Liu Minghao with admiration, smiled and thanked him, and said sincerely, "Your strength is really great." ”

Liu Minghao straightened the piano, nodded slightly to the two crew members, and didn't say anything, helping to push the piano to the side of the deck.

The waiters moved quickly, and in a short time, the deck was arranged into a beautiful venue, and the long table in the corner was also full of all kinds of food and drink, and with the bands in place, the melodious music, the gentlemen and ladies in gorgeous evening dresses also poured onto the deck, and soon became lively.

Liu Minghao stood next to the band, watching the few people who came out of the open hatch, led by Captain Smith, behind him was the skinny, bearded Isme, the designer Andrew, and the newly embarked Father Biles.

Father Biles, a middle-aged man with a clear face and a very peaceful appearance, dressed in a black and white-collared priest's robe, with a silver cross hanging from his neck, was tilting his head slightly and talking in a low voice with a noble lady beside him.

Beside the noble lady, there was Kerry, who had changed his outfit, and was glaring angrily at Liu Minghao, seeing Liu Minghao turn his gaze, his body shook slightly, and his expression seemed a little shrunken, at this moment, there was a small commotion on the noisy deck, and everyone's eyes were focused on the right side of the venue.

Liu Minghao followed the sound and saw a woman wearing a red gauze skirt with an extremely gorgeous appearance walking slowly onto the deck, and immediately became the focus of attention of the audience.

"What a beauty, isn't it." Ye Xue walked behind Liu Minghao at some point, and followed him to look at the woman in red who was surrounded by everyone in the center.

Liu Minghao frowned slightly, although he didn't see the appearance of the person before, but with his body shape, he could basically determine that the woman in front of him was the mysterious person who followed the mummy to the boat.

"Now our target has appeared." Ye Xue seemed to have guessed Liu Minghao's thoughts, tilted her head slightly and lowered her voice, "I'll find a way to get close to Father Biles, as for this woman, I'll leave it to you to deal with, it's best to find out her details." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Minghao to respond, Ye Xue raised her hand and patted his arm, and walked across the dance floor towards Father Biles.

"Miss Anice." Kerry's eyes lit up when he saw Yexue's figure, and he immediately hurried over to meet her, stretching out his hand to block her way.

"Mr. Kerry." Ye Xue's footsteps paused slightly, a soft smile appeared on her face, and her expression was natural, as if there was no discord at all just now.

Kerry's face was a little more natural, and he said in an apologetic tone, "It was really rude just now, and as compensation, I don't know if I can ask you to dance." ”

"Of course." Yexue tilted her head silently, her gaze swept very quickly over Father Biles, who was not far away, and smiled at Kerry, without showing the slightest abnormality, and happily accepted his invitation.

Seeing that Yexue was stopped by Kerry, the two entered the dance floor, Liu Minghao walked along the railing to the woman in red, stood at the dining table, picked up a glass of red wine and sipped it slowly, while listening to the whispers of several noble ladies beside him.

Eliminating the jealous belittlement, Liu Minghao learned that the name of the woman in red was Fenet, from an ancient mysterious family, especially good at divination, a woman who liked to mix with gypsies, and had a close relationship with several dukes, and was a famous courtesan in high society.

Liu Minghao listened for a while, and several noble ladies began to talk about other topics again, and at this time, the song was almost over, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and walked towards Finnit.

Although there are a lot of people around her, but everyone is trying their best to be courteous, out of various concerns, no one has taken practical action, Liu Minghao naturally will not stick to the so-called etiquette of a gentleman in high society, and went straight through the crowd, in the eyes of a group of admirers with hidden anger, walked up to Fennett, bowed slightly, "Beautiful lady, I don't know if I have this honor, please dance." ”

As soon as Liu Minghao's words came out, there was a slight silence all around, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially a few men who were secretly competing, and they were extremely dissatisfied with this guy who didn't follow the rules.

Fanette raised her hand to caress the long hair scattered on her shoulders, the corners of her red lips were slightly raised, revealing an extremely charming smile, her eyes swept over several men around her, and finally landed on Liu Minghao's face, "I have long wanted to experience the feeling of dancing under such a beautiful night scene, and after waiting for so long, there is finally a gentleman willing to fulfill this little wish of mine." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Liu Minghao's arm, and her whole body was extremely close to his side, and the two walked towards the dance floor hand in hand, leaving behind countless jealous eyes to cut Liu Minghao's back.

When the dance ended, Kerry and Yexue exited the dance floor, just in time to see Liu Minghao and Fanette walking to the center of the dance floor, Kerry's face immediately showed a touch of jealousy, "Miss Anice, with all due respect, this guy is not worthy of you at all, you really shouldn't be confused by his rhetoric." ”
