At night, red lights are hung and lights are flashing, and the crowd is dressed neatly and full of flowers, which is a lively scene.

These people, all dressed in Hanfu, strolled and swayed one by one, like a leisurely cyclamen, and whenever they met someone familiar, they would come forward and say a few words, and then stagger away, and then go elsewhere.

And those ladies are also wearing palace clothes, with delicate makeup painted on their faces, elegant and arrogant, walking slowly in the crowd, helping the guests around them to prepare a variety of tea, drinks and desserts, so that every guest can feel at home.

Zao Wou-Ki is here, but he feels like stepping into a TV series.

After all, after several reforms in modern society, these complex and expensive Hanfu palace robes have long been eliminated, and they have basically been reduced to an existence similar to a dress.

Except for funerals, weddings, weddings, and celebrations, the rest of the time is never worn in a shelf, and it is not easy to wear it.

Of course, it is only in today's banquets that those high-class elements take out these hand-sewn and elaborate dresses in order to show their identity, and show their status here in this way.

"Brother!"

Not far away, a voice suddenly sounded, and Zao Wou-Ki suddenly saw a familiar figure.

One is light blue, the other is crimson, they are all general styles, coupled with the delicate and lovely face, it is clear that they are little beauties who have not yet opened, as for the two Zhao Wouji, they know each other, the light blue is Yue Xiao, and the one next to her is Zhang Xinling.

It's just that these two people, why did they suddenly appear here?

Zhao Wuji hurriedly lined up the crowd, walked up to the two girls and asked, "Yuexiao, why are you here?" ”

"Xinling brought me here."

Yue Xiao hurriedly tugged at the female companion beside her, raised her eyes a little nervously and glanced at Zao Wouji's somewhat angry face, and immediately explained: "She told me that you would appear here." That's why I-" As she spoke, Yue Xiao still didn't change her previous timid appearance, and she was still stumbling.

Zhang Xinling hurriedly pulled Yue Xiao to stand in front of her, blocking Zhao Wuji's sight, she stuck out her tongue, and said with disdain: "Who called you irresponsible." Leaving her alone at home? ”

"Haven't I run out of time?"

Zao Wou-Ki couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't do anything about the little girl in front of him.

After all, if he is such an adult, if he does something to bully a little girl, he will definitely be despised.

Moreover, he has been busy with weapons testing during this time, and the time spent with Yue Xiao has indeed shrunk.

Yue Xiao hurriedly pulled Zhang Xinling's hand and persuaded: "Forget it, after all, my brother also has his own affairs, and I can't trouble him." ”

"So what? He's your guardian! The law requires a guardian to communicate with you for at least four hours a day. How can this guy leave his post without permission and throw his burden aside? Zhang Xinling was a little excited, like a little sparrow chirping, staring at Zao Wou-Ki with round eyes, and firing a cannon in his mouth without stopping.

She didn't care, but when the people next to her heard this, they all stopped and stared at Zao Wou-Ki with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Wouji felt those eyes falling on him, and his whole face froze, he was neither beating nor scolding in such an embarrassing situation, so he had to stay here and let the little girl in front of him vent well.

Soon, after Zhang Xinling finished speaking in one breath, he also felt unbearably thirsty, looked around for a drink to moisten his mouth, and continued.

Yue Xiao also hurriedly seized this opportunity, grabbed Zhang Xinling's hand, and said, "Xinling, he is my brother after all, and he has his own difficulties. Forget it. ”

"Forget it? What about your grades? ”

Zhang Xinling was immediately annoyed, glared at Zhao Wuji with hostile eyes, and said, "It's not that you don't know, your foundation is weak. And if there is no one to counsel, it is easy to be pulled down. But for what task did this person leave alone? You say, is there such an elder brother? ”

"So what do you think I should do? Your Royal Highness the Little Princess? ”

Zao Wou-Ki shrugged, but there was a hint of abuse on his face.

He naturally understood that Zhang Xinling really cared about Yuexiao, and he wouldn't be annoyed by this, but he was actually forced to such a point by this little girl? He felt that he should at least rebel against the following, to show the strength of manhood.

"How? Of course, you have to spare three hours a day to help your sister with her homework. ”

"But I'm not a teacher, so I don't know how to teach. Why don't you help me? ”

"However, I can't always be with Yuexiao, how can I do it?"

"It's very simple, I'll give you the key to my house, can't you help Yuexiao when you have time?"

Zao Wou-Ki said as he took off the key to his house, then handed it to Zhang Xinling, and persuaded with a smile. Zhang Xinling was immediately anxious, and a flush appeared on her face as soon as she stomped her feet, after all, she was just a little girl, and she was also surprised by Zhao Wouji's almost helpless behavior, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said angrily: "But, you are his brother." ”

"Isn't that something busy? And don't you also have something to ask Yue Xiao? In that case, wouldn't it be nice to be able to meet Yuexiao often? ”

As witty as Zao Wou-Ki, he had already noticed the changes in Zhang Xinling's body.

The eyes are like stars, the face is like a jade plate, and the skin is like snow, and the wrist is like jade, and there is an occasional light passing on the skin, which is clearly the reason for practicing the exercises.

Zhao Wouji didn't know why Yue Xiao passed on the cultivation of body refining kung fu to Zhang Xinling, but she always had her own reasons for doing so, so she just adhered to the principle of non-interference and just watched from the sidelines, and after confirming that Zhang Xinling was not hostile, she naturally pushed the boat along the river, so that the two of them had time to spend alone.

"You! You! Shame on you—"

Zhang Xinling didn't expect Zao Wou-Ki to be such a scoundrel, and he actually set a trap and put himself in it.

Her face was flushed, and she was about to say the reason, but she remembered Professor Yue Xiao's warning when she was there, and she also understood that this matter could not be announced to the public, so she stepped on Zao Wou-Ki with her seven-inch cultivation foot, and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Brother, don't bully Xin Ling. Actually, she's very nice. ”

Yue Xiao took a look at it, and then said with anger in her eyebrows.

And she was determining the location of Zhang Xinling, who was leaving with a hum in the distance, and hurriedly threw away Zhao Wou-Ki and said, "Goodbye, brother." I will go and persuade Xinling, lest she get into the horns. As soon as the words fell, he squeezed away the people around him and disappeared into the hall with Zhang Xinling.

"Alas, is this a big woman who doesn't keep anyone?"

Zao Wou-Ki looked at Yuexiao from afar, who was like a white lotus, and she was cutting her ears with Zhang Xinling, who was dressed in black and red palace clothes, talking about private matters with joy or annoyance, and couldn't help but think of her current situation of being alone, and suddenly felt that she might want to invite a dance partner, but unfortunately, at this time, it was obviously too late.

He scratched his head and said helplessly: "I'm only twenty-four years old, and I don't even have a girlfriend." Why do you suddenly feel like a father? ”

Not to mention these, although it was not the first time that Zao Wou-Ki came to this birthday party, he also felt a little curious.

After all, he had stayed in the barracks before, and he didn't have anything else to do every day except to chat and fart with those rough old men and fight, so he just hung around here, wanting to see what was interesting.

It's just that he is a living person after all, and he rarely meets acquaintances here, and even if someone comes to talk to him, he gives up because of the language barrier.

However, Zao Wou-Ki did not feel lonely, after all, when he was on a mission before, it was common for him to stay in the ice and snow for several days, as for these tedious things, although it was a bit brain-consuming, couldn't he just avoid them?

With this in mind, Zao Wou-Ki left the core of the banquet and came to a quiet place next to it, ready to find a place to stay quietly.

It's just that he saw a middle-aged lady coming not far away, this lady was wearing a crimson Tang suit, although she showed a seductive charm, but her face was full of abnormal flush, and she was staggering when she walked, obviously she had drunk too much, and there were several men with lewd smiles on their faces next to her, obviously with bad intentions.

Zhao Wuji couldn't help frowning, and swept a few people with cold eyes, making these people tremble and retreat.

And he stepped forward to help the lady sit on the side, but when he saw the familiar face again, he exclaimed, "Mom! ”

That's right, the mother who thought she had left a long time ago actually appeared in such an embarrassed appearance at this time.

Zao Wou-Ki never expected that he would meet his biological mother one day, and in such a dramatic way.

Even if he understood that his former mother had left his father because of this, and even split the whole family, he was forced to join the army and carry on his father's legacy.

The lady couldn't help but feel confused, after she struggled to stand up slightly, she took out the makeup mirror and dressed up, and after regaining her glory, she stared at Zao Wou-Ki for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Mom? Sir, did you recognize the wrong person? I'm a little old, but I'm not mistaken for my mother. ”

"Mom! I'm Zao Wou-Ki! It's your son! Zao Wou-Ki was furious and raised his voice again and shouted.

Even though he knew that his current appearance was far from that of his youth, and even his closest comrades-in-arms might not be able to recognize him, he still felt a trace of heartache when he heard that his mother didn't recognize him.

Could it be that the glory and wealth in the world are really so powerful that they are even enough to corrode the memory of family affection?

"Zao Wou-Ki? Don't laugh, my son died a long time ago, a month ago on the battlefield, and there are no bones left. ”

The lady shook her head, took out the handkerchief from the makeup bag she was carrying, and wiped off the makeup that had been painted next to her eyes, and her eyes darkened.
