In the evening, the white car passed through the majestic palace and the sparkling lake, and finally stopped at the banquet hall for thousands of people in the middle of the lake.
Thousands of years ago, after the founding emperor established the capital Xing, he built a huge palace with great construction.
Since then, it has been repaired and expanded by generations of emperors, and finally formed this huge, magnificent building complex that is comparable to a world heritage. In addition to the royal family's daily life, it also covers most of the central power organs.
It was evening now, and the setting sun cast a dazzling golden light on the lake, illuminating the gentle and elegant white marble railings.
"Is it the first time for brother to enter the palace? Would you like me to introduce you the precautions?" An Ning appeared in front of An Ji in a white suit, her hair curled into a delicate arc, and her face was gentle and considerate. If you make a mistake, you will lose face for the An family."
An Ji looked down at An Ning, and said coldly, "No need."
He was half a head taller than An Ning, and looking down at him from above at this moment, it actually gave people the illusion that they didn't dare to directly attack him.
He's just a bumpkin from the countryside, showing a noble and cool attitude to anyone!
"Are you really not going to listen?" An Ning resisted the desire to roll her eyes, and said softly, "There will be an Omega talent show tonight. If you didn't prepare anything, you might lose face at home."
An Ji raised his eyebrows: "I've lost face to An's family, what's none of your business?"
"you-"
An Ning's expression changed immediately.
These words were so cruel that he almost pointed at his nose and scolded, "You are an adopted son, what right do you have to control me as a genuine young master?".
An Ning gritted his teeth angrily, but it's a pity that he has always portrayed a quiet and gentle man. Seeing that more and more people around him noticed this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and try to squeeze out a gentle smile.
Forget it, don't argue with him now, he has plenty of ways to teach Anji a lesson!
In fact, An Ning was thinking too much just now, and few people cared about his face, because most of them came to see An Ji.
An Ji was 1.8 meters tall, and he was standing there in that custom-made evening dress at this time, and his long legs were very eye-catching.
His appearance is already superior, but what is even more outstanding is his temperament. In an era when Omega in the entire empire pursued tenderness as beauty, Anji was like a cold icicle, tearing a sharp hole in the decadent upper class.
Anyone who sees this scene can't help admiring the perfection of the Creator.
An Ji put one hand in his pocket, and slowly dangled in it. Many people who wanted to strike up a conversation were overwhelmed by his cold aura. Finally someone mustered up the courage, but unexpectedly, just as he took a step, he saw a woman holding An Ji's arm.
"Mom?" An Ji's movements froze for a moment, he was not used to such close contact with people, and subconsciously wanted to pull out his arms.
"I'll take you in." Xu Jing'an's claws were tight, and she quickly reached out to grab An Can at the end of the line.
An Can was standing aside in a black suit. He seemed not used to this attire, his sharp brows were furrowed, and he tugged at his bow tie irritably. It looked like a beast tied up in chains, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.
His irritability reached its peak when Xu Jingan approached, his body tensed up, and he avoided Xu Jingan's arm as if avoiding an enemy attack.
Xu Jingan: "..."
Anji: "..."
An Can didn't realize there was anything wrong with his actions just now, he stood aside coldly, his dark pupils were full of vigilance.
Xu Jingan's arms hung in the air, trembling slightly. She withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, and tried hard to show a smile, but when she met An Can's defensive eyes, the slight smile quickly disappeared, and her eyes turned red.
"An Can," An Ji said in a deep voice, "come here."
An Can frowned even tighter: "What are you doing?"
"Come here." An Ji repeated.
An Can stood on the spot and looked back quietly, the two gazes collided in the air, as if they were engaged in a silent confrontation.
After a long time, An Can sighed inaudibly, and took the initiative to hold Xu Jing'an, and the mother and son walked in hand in hand.
Behind them, An Ning stared at An Ji, her carefully painted eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
After the dinner started, Anji got rid of Xu Jingan and found an unobtrusive place to hide and eat.
He had so many memories of being hungry that every time he ate, he had to eat until he was full.
It's a pity that today's clothes fit too well, and Anji couldn't fit a quarter of his usual food. Watching the waiter put on a new steak, he couldn't hold back another piece, and then he choked.
Just when he was in a hurry to find water to drink, a glass of cool lemonade was handed over.
An Ji took the cup and drank it down. When he looked up, he found An Yao standing opposite him, looking at him with a smile from the corner of his eyes.
Anji: "Thank you."
"Are you still used to it these days after you come back?" An Yao sat down next to him, and said in a natural tone, "If you need any help, you can tell me. Although my ability is limited, small things can still help."
At this time, An Yao was a sophomore in the Faculty of Political Science, Imperial University, and he was a classmate with Li Rong. Imperial University is the number one super prestigious school in the Capital Star, and the School of Political Science is a star major, which has trained generations of managers in the Empire.
It can be said that he has already half-stepped into the noble Alpha circle.
When An Ning was still fighting in the house, he had already paved the way for his future. Even if he left An's house now, it would not have much impact on him.
When he said that he could help, he was not talking big, but he really had a certain strength.
But An Ji didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just gave him a cold look without answering.
An Yao was not annoyed, but told the story on his own: "There was a pond where I lived when I was a child. I thought it must be the largest lake in the world. Later, some classmates went to Capital Star and said that Lake Biwa was bigger than my house. I don’t believe that the pond is too big, and we argued with him, but none of us could convince the other, and we ended up fighting hard.”
"I won, so I was convinced once again that no matter how big the lake is, it is not as big as the lake in front of my house." In the crowded banquet hall, An Yao's voice was very soft, rather than talking to others, he said It's better to say to yourself.
"Later, my parents died unexpectedly, and An's family adopted me. When the space shuttle flew across Lake Biwa, no one knew how broken my heart was under my calm appearance."
Anji opened his mouth, but did not speak after all.
"I went back to my hometown not long ago, and I just discovered that the pond that I thought was so big when I was young was just a small puddle. Oh, a small puddle," An Yao laughed at himself, "but how could I Think it's a lake?"
Anji raised his head, and suddenly understood the other party's intentions.
An Yao: "I am very grateful to the An family for their adoption. They have changed my life."
"It's gold that always shines," An Ji said calmly, "You are already good enough, even if you are not adopted, with your intelligence, you will not be far behind."
An Yao laughed, "Do you really think so?"
Anji pursed his lips and said nothing.
"You don't need to test me." An Yao stood up and said while arranging his clothes, "As long as you don't provoke me, I won't cause any trouble for you, and I can also provide appropriate help."
At that moment, An Ji knew that An Yao's pursuit was no longer in An's house, he had successfully used An's house as a springboard to stand on a higher platform.
"An Yao, that's the younger brother that your family just found? Can you introduce me?" A young man bumped An Yao's shoulder and looked at An Ji meaningfully.
The engagement between An Ji and Li Rong has not yet spread to the eyes of the family's children, and all the alphas with strong hormones at the scene couldn't move their eyes after seeing An Ji.
"It's so embarrassing that you don't even tell us that there is such a beautiful Omega brother!"
"Don't you want to hide it for yourself?"
"Are you crazy? Are they brothers?"
"Adopted son, there is no blood relationship."
Everyone in their circle knew that An Yao was an adopted son, but almost no one looked down on him.
"Get out, don't count on me, I like to go by myself." An Yao dismissed a few cronies who wanted to hook him up, then turned around and went to the garden to light a cigarette.
He intended to relax, but unexpectedly, An Ning rushed over the next moment, and said in a reproachful tone, "Brother, what's the matter with you? It's fine if you don't help me deal with Anji, but you even took the initiative to show favor to him?!"
Even smoking doesn't make people clean, An Yao gave a "tsk" and casually extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
"Speak up!" An Ning was really anxious, and couldn't help urging her again.
He didn't even know what was going on, since An Ji came back, everything at home had changed.
All the attention of the parents who loved him at first turned away, and the elder brother who had always been indifferent also began to show affection to him. There is no place for him in this family!
"Looking at our ten-year friendship, let me remind you." An Yao narrowed his eyes, and his gold-rimmed glasses flashed in the twilight, "Don't try to make trouble for Anji, or you will be ruined sooner or later. In my own hands."
An Ning's face darkened, and her eyebrows were tightly knit together: "So you don't want to cooperate with me to take back An's house?"
An Yao sneered, with disdain and pity on his face. Just when An Ning thought he was about to say something, the man walked into the hall without looking back.
The heavy door was pushed open by the waiter, laughter and laughter poured out like quicksilver, and he was like a clown who was rejected, no one looked at him as an adopted son again.
An Ning gritted her teeth tightly, and a strong unwillingness burst out in her eyes.
Why would he give up his position when An Ji came back? Why did An Ji take away all the favors that belonged to him when he came back? He is the young master of the An family, and he wants to take back everything that belongs to him!
…
In the banquet hall, An Ji had already started eating the second round.
Li Rong didn't know what happened today, and he still disappeared halfway through the banquet. An Ji sent a few Alphas who came to strike up a conversation, and was considering whether to go to Li Rong, when he found a few black shadows cast in front of his eyes.
— An Ning walked over with a few people supporting him.
"What's the matter?" An Ji reluctantly sent them a look.
An Ning: "It's time for the Omega talent show, I'll come over and tell you."
Anji let out an "oh" and continued eating without looking up.
An Ning waited by the side for a long time, but she didn't expect that this person didn't say a word other than "oh" just now. Eat, eat, are you a pig? Why don't you get fat to death
"Is there anything else?" An Ji sensed An Ning's approach, and waved his hands impatiently, "I understand what I just said, you can go down now."
Of course he has something to do, he came here to make An Ji unable to get off the table, so what's the matter if he left now? He is not a servant who sends a message!
"Have you prepared any programs, brother?" An Ning smiled, "The empress is always close to people, and she is willing to use this platform to show herself to us. There are not many such opportunities, so don't miss them."
An Ji looked at the dazzling array of food without raising his eyes: "No show."
An Ning: "We know you didn't learn much at Trash Star, or choose something simpler, how about poetry recitation?"
"Won't."
"Then sing and dance?"
"Won't."
"How about playing the piano? You know, this is a must-have for Omega."
"Won't."
Several Omegas around had already started to laugh, and whispered: "Is this your brother? Neither this nor that, isn't it too embarrassing for the An family?"
"Don't say that, my brother has a tough condition," An Ning smiled, almost unable to hide the sarcasm on his face, "otherwise, brother, just tell me what you can do."
After eating and drinking, Anji put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth slowly, and then raised his eyebrows: "You want to know?"
"Of course I want to." An Ning smiled gently, "I know you just came back from Junk Star. After all, we have never been to that kind of place before. We want to see you bring a new experience."
"A new experience?" An Ji bent his lips and smiled strangely, "It may indeed be quite new to you."
An Ning: "What?"
An Ji stood up suddenly, staring at An Ning's eyes and said word by word: "I will use a fork to take out human eyes in a second, I will use a knife to dismember people into 108 pieces, I will catch Zerg, remove their heads and eat their bodies .”
Every time he said a sentence, he took a step closer to An Ning, and when he finished speaking, he was already standing in front of An Ning.
Beautiful and sharp, like a famous knife exuding cold air.
An Ning broke out in a cold sweat, and he wanted to squeeze out a nonchalant smile, but when he met Anji's gaze, it was as if he was being grabbed by the back of the neck, and his whole body was frozen in place, unable to move a single bit.
"Do you want me to perform for you?" Anji grabbed the silver fork from the table, and said coldly, "Do you want to experience eye gouging, dismemberment, or head removal?"
