"Ewen ......" muttered to herself, and Shalan's eyes lit up, and she walked in Imco's direction with a look of surprise on her face.

Seeing Shalan's movements, Ewen also said something to the old man beside her, let go of the old man's arm, and came to Shalan's side under the gaze of the men and women attending the ball.

Sharan looked at Yi Wen, at this time she took off the round-framed glasses on her face, a pair of green eyes like lake water are more agile, the hair that is usually slightly messy is now hanging smoothly on the back of her head and cheeks, and with her sky-blue dress, the whole person is like opening the seal, showing indescribable beauty, like a sapphire in the crowd, exuding a breathtaking charm.

"Coco, why are you here?"

"If you're not welcome, it's okay for me to leave now. ”

As the words fell, Coco smiled playfully, took Shalan's arm and walked to the buffet table at the edge of the dance venue, and inserted a small piece of lobster meat into her mouth with a toothpick.

"I didn't come if I knew it would be so troublesome to go to the prom, so I don't have anything to eat now. ”

Hearing Coco's words, Shalan laughed and whispered, "I didn't eat either, I just got home before, and I was pressed on a chair and had my hair done for more than an hour, and my stomach is screaming now."

But then again, I'm a little nostalgic for the meal we had on the snack street before, that's called eating, you can eat whatever you want, you can rest assured and boldly stuff it into your mouth, and now you have to pay attention to etiquette when you eat something like this, it's really a hell of a life. ”

"Who's to say it's not, so you will be responsible for the sins I have suffered today, and tomorrow you will take me to eat something delicious. ”

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Sharan looked at Ewen and said with a smile, "Oh, is it because of me that you are guilty?"

While stuffing the beef, Yi Wen nodded, but she didn't hear Shalan's meaning.

Seeing Ewen nodding, Sharan continued, "So, your sin is because of me, so it means that you came to this ball for me?"

The hand that stuffed the beef in his mouth paused slightly, Yi Wen swallowed what was in his mouth, and said with a nonchalant face: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to play with Grandpa Rod, what is it for you, don't feel too good about yourself." ”

"Oh, I see, then I see. ”

Although he said that, in fact, Sha Lan naturally knew the truth.

At this time, Ewen's face was slightly crimson, perhaps because she had just drunk a glass of champagne.

At that moment, the dance floor was gradually emptied, the music played, and the mayor, Viscount Fred, who was the initiator of the ball, and his wife walked onto the dance floor as the lead dancers, and the two of them began to dance.

When a dance is finished, people who want to dance invite ladies to dance on the dance floor, and as the pearl of this ball, Coco naturally has someone to invite her to dance.

The eldest son of the mayor, Viscount Fred, slowly walked towards Even, apparently wanting to invite Evoen to dance, but at this moment, Sharan suddenly invited Écoin in a standard posture.

"Beautiful Miss Ewen, how about you please dance with me?"

Looking at Shalan's hand, a smile appeared on Ewen's face, and he nodded and said, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Weynman." ”

Under the unwilling gaze of Viscount Fred's eldest son, Sharan and Ewen walked onto the dance floor and danced together, although their dancing talents were not good, and the dancing was barely wrong, but the two of them were impeccable from their figures to appearances, and they became the focus of the audience for a while.

At the end of a dance, when Sharan and Cowen left the dance floor, it was obvious to both men and women that they were staring at them.

The two of them glanced at each other, and immediately turned away, constantly passing between people, and soon disappeared from the sight of those men and women, leaving only their helpless sighs and unwilling faces.

At this time, at the staircase on the second floor of the Cynthia Mansion, Sharan and Ewen looked out hand in hand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no one noticed that the two of them were here.

But at this time, the two of them found themselves holding each other's hands, Sha Lan's face turned red, and she just wanted to say something, but she saw Yi Wen let go of his hand as usual, looking indifferent, which made Sha Lan feel a little crying and laughing.

Ewen looked around, and she suddenly saw a balcony not far away, and immediately pulled Shalan's cuffs and walked towards it.

"It's a bit boring, let's go to the balcony to blow the wind. ”

As he spoke, regardless of whether Sharan agreed or not, Yi Wen dragged him open the glass door of the balcony, came to the balcony, stretched his waist against the bright moonlight in the sky, and relaxed.

Seeing Ewen's appearance, Sha Lan also turned around and leaned against the balcony fence, and said with a smile: "This place is indeed good, it is better to wait until the end of the dance party before going out." ”

"I think so too, although the ball is good, but in my opinion, it is not as comfortable and quiet as reading books in the library. ”

"It's a pity that my gift looks beautiful, but it can't hold anything, otherwise it would be good to hold a book or two. ”

Hearing Sha Lan's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Yi Wen's face, and she put her hand into the skirt of the dress, and took out two books under Sha Lan's stunned eyes, one was the "Epic of Loma" that she had been reading, and the other was the book that Sha Lan hadn't finished reading during the day, which introduced another ancient language, Shilan.

"You brought the book with you! Should I say you're supernatural?"

"Haha, worship me. ”

Taking the book, Sharan looked at Ewen, and the two of them opened the book one after another.

But just as the two of them were just starting to read, a roar suddenly sounded, and both Sharan and Ewen felt a significant vibration in the Cynthia Mansion.

Immediately after that, there were gunshots and shouts and cries from inside the house, and Sharan and Ewen looked at each other, and they reacted almost immediately, one on each side, hiding behind the wall by the balcony door, and it was at this time that four men with black hoods on their heads and men with light machine guns rushed up from below, checking around to see if anyone was hiding on the second floor.

I saw one of the four men walking slowly over to the balcony, and reached out and pushed the glass door of the balcony open.
