Chapter 9 The Burrow was empty in the past, but now the wat is full of beds
After George left, only Lorraine and Christine and Li Ping'an were left, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Let me introduce you, this is my good friend Lorraine, she doesn't usually attend this kind of ball, someone offered 200,000 dollars, saying that whoever can invite Lorraine to his ball can get this bounty." After speaking, she looked at Li Ping'an proudly.
Li Ping'an felt a little funny, because he felt that Christine's appearance was like a child waiting for praise.
"Then I have to thank you, I'll have someone send you this 200,000 bounty when the time comes, and use it as pocket money." Li Ping'an smiled and said disapprerovingly.
"Christine laughed, it's just because I don't usually like to go out to socialize, so some good people deliberately use this as a gimmick." Lorraine stared at Li Ping'an, his eyes unblinking.
Since Li Ping'an came here, her eyes have never taken off Li Ping'an's body.
At this time, Christine looked at the appearance of her best friend, combined with Lorraine's gaffe just now, and reacted in hindsight.
She shouted, "You are the one who abandoned Lorraine in the first place!" ”
When Li Ping'an heard this, his eyes opened suddenly: "Negative man? He looked at Lorraine incredulously, and the smile that had been hanging on the corner of his mouth had disappeared at this time.
"What did you tell people about me?" Li Ping'an glanced at Lorraine and smiled bitterly.
Lorraine was stunned, and looked at Li Ping'an with a pair of blue eyes full of affection.
Her eyes, which were originally as calm as a lake, were surging like a tide at this time, and burning like a flame, and the surging love made Li Ping'an have to be defeated.
She seemed to have gotten rid of all constraints, and rushed to Li Ping'an desperately, like a bouquet of blooming roses, blooming all the colors to the person she loved.
Li Ping'an did not dodge, he was hugged tightly by Lorraine, and soon tears were stained with Li Ping'an's clothes.
Lorraine in her arms buried her head deep in Li Ping'an's chest, she suppressed her voice, and kept saying over and over again: "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. ”
"Hey......" Li Ping'an sighed slowly, full of helplessness.
In the face of the malice and conspiracy in the world, he can kill all enemies and conspirators with a sharp blade, but in the face of love, he doesn't know what to do.
Looking at Lorraine's pear blossom with rain, thinking of the days and nights and mutual complaints that had been lingering and compassionate, his ears and temples grinding, and his heart couldn't be ruthless.
The people around them watched this scene curiously, and then they suddenly realized that the man behind this simple Lorraine was this Li Ping'an.
Christine on the side looked at Lorraine's appearance, remembering that she had said in front of Lorraine that she was going to take down Li Ping'an, and her face was so ashamed that she was like a layer of rouge.
"I came this time, and I didn't know what attitude to take to meet you, so I thought about holding this ball, and I was so entangled in this method that I couldn't be entangled anymore to meet you. I don't know what I want to say, and I haven't figured it out until now. Li Ping'an said truthfully.
"I couldn't get over that hurdle, that time I wanted you to be on my side, but it didn't turn out as I wanted, and I thought it was the end of both of us."
Hearing Li Ping'an say this, Lorraine's heart suddenly became extremely entangled, she was afraid that Li Ping'an would say that she didn't want herself in the next second, she was afraid that she would be obsessed with the ending for many years but not as she wished.
She hurriedly begged: "I don't want to be able to use the Ten Rings to live forever and be with you forever, but you don't even want to stay with me for two more years?" I don't want forever, just two years is okay. ”
Li Ping'an was speechless.
At this time, a familiar playboy cynical tone sounded: "You didn't even invite me to the ball, have you forgotten that I call you every time you have a party!" ”
Li Ping'an was relieved when he heard this, and Lorraine's pitiful appearance made him unable to resist: "Howard, you are also here, do you want to steal my limelight?" ”
Li Ping'an laughed and hugged Howard heavily.
"I know you're afraid I'll steal your limelight and call me, but I can't just let you go so easily, you have to apologize to the respectful and charming Mr. Howard Stark, and find some pretty girls to drink with me." Howard looked at Li Ping'an dissatisfiedly and complained.
"It's a small thing to drink, and there are so many beautiful women here, you don't come casually with your ability." Li Ping'an invited Howard to sit down, "But aren't you in Brooklyn, why did you suddenly run here?" ”
Li Ping'an asked curiously.
"It's not important, the most important thing now is ......" Howard dragged out his voice and looked at Christine with a smile. "I want to know the name of this lady and if we will be lucky enough to dance together tonight," said with an indecent face. ”
Christine looked at Howard, who was not outstanding in appearance, then looked at Li Ping'an, who was dignified, and then looked at Lorraine, who had been staring at Li Ping'an, motionless like a lookout stone.
In the end, Christine sighed imperceptibly and said to Howard, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in uncle." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Howard's face immediately froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice was full of surprise: "You say that I am an uncle, this is an insult to a gentleman." ”
Christine pulled Lorraine over and said, "You're an uncle, Lorraine, don't you say?" ”
Where did Lorraine have the heart to care about their dispute at this time, she didn't blink her eyes, stared at Li Ping'an, and when she heard her best friend's question, she nodded subconsciously.
Looking at Howard's angry appearance, Li Ping'an laughed.
"The women around me all say that I am very attractive, but you are too young to know how to appreciate it." Howard blew his beard and glared, not seeing the appearance of a gentleman at all.
"Are you paying them?" Christine asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Howard was like a defeated rooster, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he said, "That's right." ”
Like a proud canary, Christine gently pinched the corner of her skirt, saluted Li Ping'an, and then turned away gracefully.
Looking at the back of Christine leaving, Howard looked at Lorraine on the side again, he also knew the situation back then, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I knew it was like this, why bother in the first place." ”
Then, Howard's face was a little solemn, he looked around carefully like a thief about to steal, and then said, "I came this time to warn you that someone is going to deal with you, you have to be careful. ”
Li Ping'an was a little moved when he heard this, Howard was a good friend with him before.
But now he hasn't seen him for many years, but he actually supports Li Ping'an as always.
When he knew that Li Ping'an was secretly plotting against him, he still ignored the risk and came to remind himself that based on this alone, he identified Howard as a friend.
And when Lorraine heard Howard say this, a touch of worry suddenly appeared on her face.
She anxiously asked: "Why can't you deal with him, can't you let him live a stable life for a while!" ”
Howard looked at Lorraine's appearance with an indescribable weirdness in his heart.
Weren't you also an accomplice in dealing with what you called 'him' back then?
Howard didn't say this, because Lorraine also used this year's time to prove that she has always loved Li Ping'an, and he, an outsider, naturally does not interfere in the affairs of the two people.
"It's the Finch family, and they're going to send Captain America and a group of reinforcement soldiers against me, and if nothing else, the red skull of Hydra will also deal with me." Li Ping'an said nonchalantly.
