In the dimly lit ballroom, the figures in suits and dresses were silent, and the pale young man gathered on the stage with light tubes, he took off the covering curtain, revealing an experimental device with a height of more than three meters on the cart,
There were exclamations in the hall...
Especially when Tang Bing uttered the sound of 'Wow—', Fangran, who had been connected to the participant's technology, was slightly surprised when he saw this large device.
What is this for
The idea that everyone is curious about popped up in his mind.
"This is the result of my long-standing research. There has been a difficulty in the past few years. Until recently... I just took an opportunity to initially complete it,"
"But tonight I want to show you that it's not itself, but rather... a by-product of its experimentation."
Kerim looked at all the guests in the hall and explained, walking towards the console, not forgetting to add with a warm smile to those who are worried about the operation of such a large device:
"It's just a slight operation of 1% power, please rest assured."
But looking at the figure of him starting to set the parameters, he seems to be accustomed to controlling such a large cutting-edge device, and he seems to be peaceful, without tension or pride.
It made Fangran inexplicably feel that he seemed to be in his own world at the moment, out of touch with the dance crowd,
Like a quiet child who is assembling his own building blocks alone...
Then, as Kerim said, it was only running slightly, and the huge experimental device felt like it was only a little bright inside, and there was no sound after it was started.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a weak energy fluctuation,
Taking advantage of the dim light in the hall, Fangran quietly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Donald over there.
The slight operation lasted only a few seconds. Kerim took out the collection vessel from the other side, and the organizer turned on the projection screen in good time to enlarge the introduction, so that everyone could see what was in the vessel, which looked like metal or crystal, some kind of Bright silver things.
"I stumbled upon its existence in a recent experiment, not in any known material... ."
"Gourd? What is he talking about?"
On the side of the lower edge of the stage, Fangran asked again in a low voice in the dark, and Tang Bing beside him also looked confused this time, trying hard to translate, but still gave a difficult and uncertain answer:
"It seems to be introducing a new material, what is the nature and what is the nature...? Um... no, there are too many complicated professional vocabulary, and my French is not good enough to this level."
"Tsk tsk tsk, gourd, you still need to work hard."
Senior, you scumbag with superpowers, just work harder for me!
Hearing Mr. Fangran's encouraging tone, and seeing his tongue-smacking and head-smacking expression of 'I'm sorry', Tang Bing hummed fiercely with a reddish face.
Then when they interrupted the chat, the figure of Kerim on the stage had already bowed slightly and walked off the stage,
The guests in the entire hall gave gentle and formal applause, and the light in the ball hall slowly returned to the previous bright soft golden color, and a slightly brisk and uplifting melody sounded.
"Huh? Is this the end?"
Fangran watched the staff on the stage carefully send the big guy down again, and was a little surprised by the too short presentation.
"This is a social venue, not a scientific research conference. Simply show the results. After all, the people who came here tonight don't care about scientific research theory. They only care about the results and whether they can generate benefits."
The wind spirit Leosfia's explanation sounded in his ear, watching Kerim's figure slowly get off the stage, Fangran watched everyone in the center of the ball hall get out of the way, the band's tone in the corner rose,
According to the convention of the ball, the first dance is performed by the host of the venue.
"Get ready, it's time for the dance party."
Hearing Osfiya's reminder, Fangran saw a middle-aged man in the middle of the hall smiling and leading his female partner down the dance floor. After the graceful invitation to dance, the suit and evening dress spun melodiously in the movement. dance steps.
"Hey... This is the dance, senior, waltz..."
Seeing Tang Bing watching this scene with bright eyes, he smiled slightly in his heart and finally achieved the purpose of bringing her here,
Fangran's eyes quietly fixed on Kerim's figure,
Then he found that he always felt that he had a pale face that was lingering and lost, and there was a hint of nervous anticipation with a hint of joy, and he walked quickly towards a slim figure.
"Mel, I didn't expect you to be here, seeing you and me..."
Looking at the taller woman in the evening dress in front of him, Kerim was at a loss for words when she opened her mouth, and finally felt happy and could only smile and say:
"I'm so happy."
"Um."
Seeing that he came to her immediately, Mei Landuoer nodded flatly after hearing this sentence, then looked at him as if remembering and said:
"My father has a business meeting next week, and I want you to contact several people in the research field, and let you attend."
Seeing her joy stop for a moment, and trying to relieve herself in the next second, Kerim looked at her and nodded softly:
"Well, I'll go."
Then when he heard that he didn't surprise her with the answer, Melanduo turned her eyes calmly and introduced to him:
"Also, these are a few friends I just met. They have always been very interested in you."
The expression on his face froze slightly, and Kerim looked at the young men and women who were approaching with a gentle smile, and met the eyes that looked him up and down,
The soft words seemed to take a lot of effort.
"Very happy to meet all of you."
On the other side of the hall, covered by the crowd,
Fangran, who had been paying attention to that side all the time, looked at the woman beside Kerim who had an outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, but always felt a little cold and arrogant.
"who is she?"
"Merlando Rossetti, she is the heir of an aero-engine manufacturing company in Europe, she is also a well-known fashion model in France, a young philanthropist, and the object of pursuit of countless men, she is one of the few who can come in tonight relying on her status young people,"
Hearing him ask in a slightly strange soft voice, Osphia, who was observing Donald's every move, took a look and then said in a faint voice for some reason:
"Besides, she's the fiancée of Creem Clayshawn."
fiancée
Hearing this fact, Fangran suddenly realized the joy on Kerim's face just now, but Tang Bing beside him said directly in surprise:
"Huh!? She's actually a fiancee?"
"What happened to the fiancee?"
It was a little strange that she had such a big reaction, and then Fangran saw Tang Bing looking at him with a complex expression of looking at single mentally retarded:
"Normally, would a fiancee not even smile when she sees her future husband?"
Slightly taken aback, Fangran finally realized when he heard this sentence,
Although the gentle joy on Kerim's face came from the heart, it seemed that he was included in the other party's indifference and arrogance.
Can't even look down on such a super genius
"Let's save this kind of talk until we have time."
Interrupting Tang Bing's emotional gossip and Fangran's astonishment, Osphia glanced at the host's opening lead dance, who was about to end. In the background of the night in Paris, her blond hair was flying in the background, and her blue eyes were brightened by the dim light of the screen.
"The first dance at the prom is with his female partner. He must be with his fiancée. After that, he will respond to other people's social invitations," he said.
"So as soon as their dance is over I'll lure away... um!?"
In the Wind Elf, when Osfia was only halfway through her words,
In the dance hall, the situation suddenly began to deviate from the original track!
"I heard that you have been accompanied by a gentleman when you come to Paris this time. Can you introduce me?"
He didn't know that the other side's plan for him was quietly unfolding. Seeing that Melanduo'er raised her cold and beautiful face, and even took the initiative to start a conversation with him, Kerim was a little surprised, and then happily agreed.
"You mean Mr. Donald. He is a very powerful person. I have troubled him to take care of me when I come to Paris this time. He is there. I will take you there."
On the way to the past, listening to Kerim's soft voice and laughing narration about Donald's knowledge, Melandra nodded occasionally with a calm expression.
Then just before the meeting, Kerim hesitated for a while, watched her try to make the invitation with a chuckle,
"Mel, we can dance in a moment...."
this moment of... .
Mei Landuo, who didn't seem to have heard these words, walked towards the mature and tall male figure in front of her, put on a beautiful smile, with a soft feminine light in her eyes, and lifted the hem of her skirts on both sides to speak politely and elegantly:
"Good evening, Mr. Donald, can you dance with me?"
At this moment, Fangran saw very clearly that the expression on Kerim's face that was about to say something froze, and then changed back to that gentle and reluctant smile in a little bewilderment.
Tonight was obviously his most glorious moment as the protagonist of the ball, and it quietly melted into the depression that I felt in the depths of his smile when I saw him for the first time...
And the grief that has been tacitly accepted.
