Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dance for Two

In Khorkina's room, Mu Qingzhi didn't stay for long.

In the past, only she and Renata were fine, and it was not easy to find out if they had a care for each other, but now that four or five children are all together, it is too risky.

So normally, the evening party doesn't last long, and after that, she still has time to go to Zero to deliver dinner.

In order to ensure that Zero's affairs were not discovered by Khorkina and the others, she deliberately connected her to Zero's room with a connecting ring, which was quite convenient in the past.

But after returning to her room, she didn't rush over, but sat on the bed and thought silently.

is getting closer and closer to the point of Christmas that destroys everything, even if she has made many preparations in advance, it is inevitable that there will be gains and losses in her heart.

In the original plot, counting Bondarev and Herzog, there were only two people who escaped from the Black Swan Harbor, and this time, under her chaos, can a few more people be rescued?

…… To be honest, she wasn't sure.

If the system was still there, she would still be able to get some comfort and support from the other party, but the artificial retarded person has not woken up since he fell asleep that day, which is really a sinkhole......

Just as Mu Qingtong was thinking, the midnight bell suddenly rang quietly from the corridor, which was originally a rare thing, but Mu Qingtong suddenly realized that something was wrong.

For since the bell rang, the corridor not only did not return to its initial silence, but followed by the tune of Christmas carols, as if countless people had gathered in the corridor to beat the castanets of steel, and in what should have been a joyful and peaceful tone, the whole building began to shake slightly by the sound of the music.

"This is ......"

As if he suddenly understood something, after turning his head to look out the window, he blinked, Mu Qingtong got out of bed and went straight to the iron door.

But before she could stretch out her hand, the iron door in front of her collapsed.

In the corridor outside the room, the huge body of the black snake was entrenched in the corridor at some point, it had made a hole in the wall, and its long tail dragged outside, because the corridor could not accommodate it to hover like this.

And Zero leaned on the black snake at this time, holding his hands in his arms, with a show-off expression on his face, like a handsome boy in a big city driving a newly bought car to pick up a beautiful girl to watch a movie.

- He even specially prepared a rather handsome evening dress for himself.

It's just a pity that when he and the black snake appear in front of Mu Qingtong at the same time, it means that he will be completely ignored, and before he can speak, Mu Qingtong, who saw the whole picture of the black snake at close range for the first time, couldn't help but make a sound representing admiration in his mouth.

"I'll go, what a big snake!!"

Zero: "........."

Originally, he wanted to step forward and hug each other, but before he had walked a few steps, he heard the other party's admiration, and he froze in place at the moment.

…… Because he noticed that the other party didn't seem to notice him at all.

Glancing at the girl in front of her who seemed to be completely attracted by the black snake, he glanced back at the black snake behind him, and Zero had a gloomy look in his eyes.

The next moment, as if receiving some order, the black snake with its head drooping down slid out of the gap in the wall.

"It's a pity...... Huh? Number Zero? Are you out? ”

Just as Mu Qingfang was feeling sorry, she found Zero standing not far from her, and the expression on her face suddenly became surprised.

"I didn't expect those nurses to be so kind that they even sent you a new set of clothes......

While talking, he walked to Zero's side, Mu Qingtong looked around the other party, and Zero was also quite cooperative with this, and opened his arms very generously to let her observe.

"Hmm...... You're shorter than me. ”

After going around the other party and nodding, Mu Qingtong was very satisfied and came to a conclusion.

- She has always been haunted by the fact that she is not as tall as Renata.

“…… Obviously, I'm going to be a little taller. ”

", you have to count the hair."

Pouting, Mu Qingtong stretched out his hand and pointed to the standing dumb hair on the top of his head.

"If you count this, I'm going to be a centimeter taller than you."

Zero: "........."

…… Why is it so tiring every time you talk to each other?

"Alright, don't worry too much about this, you're here just in time, let's go find Renata."

Clapping his hands, Mu Qingtong took the lead in turning around and walking towards the room on the other side of Renata.

"It's rare that you can leave now, let's hurry up and ......"

"She's not asleep yet, so she can't enter my dreams just yet."

Interrupting the other party's words, Zero lied.

"Huh? Is that so? ”

Looking back at the other party, Mu Qingzhi looked a little dazed.

"Of course, just wait a while."

Zero nodded affirmatively.

"Don't worry, I'll pull her in as soon as she falls asleep."

“…… Okay. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Qingtong nodded.

"By the way, let's find a place, I have dinner for you here, and it's as rich as the cafeteria today...... Uh......"

didn't finish a sentence, looking at the table that suddenly appeared in the corridor in front of him and the various delicacies on the table, Mu Qingtong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"In dreams, I can do anything."

Looking at the girl's surprised expression, Zero looked a little proud, and then stretched out his hand to the roof.

"Look, pretty or not? I set it up for Christmas. ”

On the roof of the hallway, somehow there was already a glittering foil hanging from it, and those things were cut into the shape of flower petals and deer, like decorations on a Christmas tree, and they looked shiny.

Wind poured in through the holes in the wall and then through the hallway, and the gold leaf collided with each other and made a tinkling sound like wind chimes.

"Made of real gold?"

Turning his head to look at the other party, Mu Qingzhi's unblinking eyes seemed to be flashing with golden light.

“…… Well. ”

The corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly, and Zero nodded sullenly.

- From the very beginning of his appearance to the present, all the tricks he learned to coax girls in the library books have not worked.

"Omnipotence in dreams...... Your abilities are truly amazing. ”

Breathing into the palm of his hand, Mu Qingtong looked admiring.

Pure dreams are not scary, but if dreams can overlap with reality, it is undoubtedly a rather frightening ability.

"Honestly, it's my first time meeting you...... Well? What's wrong? ”

Looking at the zero who suddenly walked over in front of him and stretched out his hand towards him, Mu Qingtong looked inexplicable.

"It seems that Renata is right, your etiquette lesson is really completely in vain."

Standing up straight, Zero sighed helplessly.

"That's an invitation to a dance partner at the prom, and I'm inviting you to dance."

"Uh...... Don't jump. ”

Very decisive, Mu Qingzhi shook his head.

"If you need a dance partner, Renata is a good fit, and she will come in later, and you can go to her."

"But I need you to be my dance partner now."

Looking up into her eyes, Zero looked a little pitiful.

"Don't forget, you promised me before."

"When am I ...... Okay, but I can't dance. ”

is very single, Mu Qingtong spread his hands in front of him.

"Also, I'm wearing a white cotton coat now, which doesn't fit ...... at all."

Before she could finish speaking, Zero interrupted her words with a crisp snap of her fingers, and the moment Zero's snap of her fingers fell, the slightly bloated white cotton coat on her body instantly turned into a black dress.

"It's okay if you can't dance, I can teach you."

His gaze swept over her, and Zero nodded in satisfaction.

"As for the clothes, I've already changed them for you, no thanks."

Mu Qingtong: "........."

…… Thank you for being so sweet!!
