Kodori didn't make a phone call after saving Wesk's phone number.
July is Karen's birthday. After the concert in the woods of Bai Ai, even if he doesn't want to go back, he has to go back to London to attend Karen's birthday party.
When Karen was young, the birthday party was just a simple banquet for classmates and friends to celebrate her birthday. After Karen gradually developed her own career and ambitions, she slowly turned the birthday party into a means of managing contacts. In addition to inviting relatives and friends, she also invited some business partners.
Kodori is not good at talking, but he will not be out of tune with this kind of situation. He likes to listen, to listen to everyone talking about their own affairs, other people's affairs, and some things that are happening in the world, and such a good listener, Naturally, it will be welcomed by many people.
When Wesker Elder appeared at the door of the reception, he saw the young man surrounded by the crowd at a glance. You have to admit that this young man has a seductive charm. Among the glamorous ladies in the audience, Wesker could only see that one person and walked over to him involuntarily.
When he saw Wesker, the smile on Kodori's face suddenly stopped, and a person who was talking suddenly saw the former and said excitedly: "Mr. Elder?!"
Wesker was stunned for a moment, then nodded indifferently: "Well, who are you?"
"I'm Will, Marketing Director of St. Tolle, we met at a charity auction last year, do you remember me?"
Wesker frowned slightly, and after recalling it carefully, he asked, "Will Bruce?"
"exactly!"
…
After just a few words of exchange, Wesk accepted Mr. Bruce's business card and ended the conversation. Just like his appearance, this man has a cold temperament. After seeing Wesker, the people who were around Kedori consciously walked away.
Kodori is Weske Elder's brother-in-law, they are nothing, of course, don't touch each other's bad luck.
But after the others left, Kodori had already covered up the momentary gaffe, he looked at Wesker, and said, "Karen was still here just now, it seems that something was called away, or else Are you waiting for her?"
Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Wesker's eyes gradually darkened. After a long time, he asked, "How is it in Berlin during this time? Why haven't you called me?"
The two consecutive questions made Kedori stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I'm fine, and I heard that you and Karen are also fine."
These words made Wesker Elder frown even more, but in the following conversation, whenever Wesker was going to say something, Kodori turned the subject back to Karen. When the gloom was extreme, Karen and the Slaughters took to the stage together to start the birthday speech.
"Thank you to everyone who came, I'm Karen Slaughter, it's a pleasure to see you here..."
As Karen's fiancé, Weske Elder naturally came to the stage to give a speech, and personally gave Karen a ruby necklace as a birthday present. This necklace was a treasure of the Elder Group in previous years, worth two million euros. When she appeared under the light, everyone in the room breathed in unison.
And Kodori looked at the rose-red gemstone necklace and applauded with everyone.
After some performances at the banquet were over, Karen and Wesker went around talking and toasting. These two are like golden boys and beautiful girls, Karen is eloquent and eloquent, and Wesker is as steady as Mount Tai. The combination of the two easily attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
Kodori heard a lady beside her sigh with emotion: "Mr. Elder and Karen are really good match!"
Hearing this, Kodori smiled indifferently and said nothing.
After all, she was the protagonist of the banquet. After Karen and Wesker had toasted and talked to all the guests, Karen was called by an old Wall Street friend, and Wesker nodded lightly, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted.
Karen didn't think about it too much, but what she didn't know was that after she turned around, Wesk's eyes swept the audience for a week, and then fell on the young man not far away.
To be honest, Kedoori's facial features are not as dazzling as his sister's. If Karen is like a dazzling diamond, shining with charming brilliance everywhere, then Kedoori is like an emerald that has precipitated the years, deep and moving.
Visk's eyes stopped for a moment on Kedoori and the little girl beside him, and then he stepped forward with the goblet in his hand. The first to find him was the little girl who was facing him. The little lady greeted him in surprise, and when she realized that he seemed to be looking for Kedori, she politely left.
The conversation with Kedori seemed to be like a hot spring, neither cold nor hot, the distance was moderate, every word sounded just right, and every syllable had a charming charm. This young man bloomed there so quietly, which gradually calmed Wesker's mood.
When he saw the young man smiling at the girl just now, Wesker only felt a strange anger surged up in his heart: I really don't want others to see such a gentle smile...
Although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, Wesker Elder was still the calm and self-sufficient jewelry tycoon. With such an iceberg standing beside Kedori, many people who originally wanted to chat with Kedori also retreated consciously.
When Karen found out that her brother and fiance seemed to be chatting happily, she was only slightly surprised, and then said to her brother: "Kedori, I will give him to you. Take him with such a cold I'm really not good at talking to the God of War, you should accompany Wesker to talk more."
Then, without waiting for Kodori to respond, Karen blinked and walked towards another friend in the financial world.
The smile on his face froze slightly, Kedori squeezed the goblet in his hand and sighed softly. He really didn't want to face this man alone anymore. In the past two months, he finally let himself forget the temperature in his palm that night. Why... let him remember it again
But that's what I thought in my heart, reality doesn't give Kodori a chance to go back.
After chatting for a while, it seemed that he also noticed the absent-mindedness of the young man. The blond man frowned slightly, drank the red wine in the glass, and asked, "Don't you like this kind of occasion?"
After toasting with Wesker, Kodori nodded and said, "Well, I started learning the violin when I was very young, and I have been so busy that I don't have much time to attend banquets. When I went to the Munich Conservatory of Music, this kind of occasion would come even less. No. I don't like it, but... I'm afraid I'm not suitable for this kind of place."
Hearing this, Wesker's eyes narrowed slightly.
No, you're a good fit, everyone here likes you.
Thinking of this, Wesk directly put down the wine glass in his hand, and then suddenly pulled up Kedori's hand, and in the latter's surprised eyes, he quietly asked, "If you don't like it, then change to another one. The place is fine."
…
The night sky in London is dark and deep, and a half-hooked crescent moon hangs on the vast expanse of the sky, casting a faint brilliance on the earth.
This is a small balcony of the banquet hall. The summer night breeze blows from the forest not far away, mixed with the cool breath of the lake. Ketoli propped his arms on the black iron hollowed-out carved railings, and looked into the distance, the four fields were silent, only in the distant place flashed the gorgeous and beautiful sea of lights in London.
Now that she has become Wesker Elder's fiancee, Karen's birthday will naturally be held in the clubhouse under the former name. This exclusive clubhouse is a private estate of Elder, located on the outskirts of London, surrounded by lush forests, quiet and quiet.
This small balcony is actually quite hidden, and you need to go through three doors and a spiral staircase from the main banquet hall of the birthday party to find it. But this is really a very beautiful place. The mellow smell of red wine permeates from the banquet hall downstairs. Under the floor of the balcony are the guests who are attending the birthday party, but they don't know that they are in their own head. There is such a hidden place.
After taking a few deep breaths, Kodori felt that his drowsy brain seemed to be much more awake. He is not someone who knows how to drink. He drank a few glasses of red wine just now out of courtesy, which made his face feel a little hot, but now he feels better when the evening wind blows.
"I used to come here a lot when I was a kid."
The man's low and hoarse voice suddenly attracted Kedori's attention. He turned his head to look, but saw those ice blue eyes staring at him quietly. The illumination seems to be able to shine to the bottom, reflecting the pure light like a glacier.
Kodori suddenly felt a little dizzy in his just awake brain. He listened to the man in a daze: "This manor was given to me by my grandfather when I was ten years old. In summer, I like to come here, and there is a small lake in the forest over there. , there are a lot of fish in it."
Looking in the direction of Wesker's fingers, Kodori's eyes fell on a lush forest.
"But you can't go fishing alone, because there will be some small animals in the nearby forest." After a pause, Wesker said, "Grandfather likes hunting very much, so he will put some small animals in the forest, I haven't hunted in years, and they must have grown up quite a bit."
Kodori couldn't help but ask: "You can hunt?!"
Wesker nodded lightly: "Well, I can hunt, but I rarely hunt."
Kodori didn't have much interest in this matter, but he couldn't help being a little curious about it, and couldn't help but look at Wesker a few more times. The latter raised the corners of his lips knowingly, and continued: "In that forest, there is a very beautiful fountain. There should still be a shadow, which is the empty space in the middle of the forest."
Kodori leaned closer and looked at the forest. Sure enough, he found a circular clearing in it. However, the moonlight was so bright that only a faint shadow could be seen faintly, but the so-called fountain could not be clearly seen.
"This fountain was built by me later, and I made some green carvings and pattern planting altars around it."
Hearing this, Kodori said with some regret: "It's a pity, it's too dark at night, I can't see them."
Hearing this, Wesker's eyes lit up: "If you like, you can come here at any time, and I will show you."
The atmosphere of harmony and intimacy lingered between the two, from this manor to the old house of the Elder family, from the Berlin Philharmonic to the Munich Conservatory, Kedori has been in his heart since he returned to London. Si lost, gradually disappeared, and in the end, listening to the other party's joking words, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although my parents always hope that I can listen to more concerts and cultivate my sentiments, it is a pity that I really don't have much talent for appreciating music." It was the cold and indifferent Wesker who said this. Elder. I'm afraid even his parents and Karen don't know that this man actually has such a humorous and helpless side. Weske continued: "I heard that Karen had a violin genius brother a long time ago, and I thought, maybe... you'll look a lot like Farrer Lewis."
Farrer Lewis was born well and is the world's top violin master. It is actually a compliment for Kedoori to compare him with himself.
Probably because the atmosphere was too good, Kodori ignored the "Karen" mentioned by the other party for a while, and he said with a smile: "I have met Master Faller once, he is a very amiable violin master, and I am with him. He's a long way off."
"No, you are better than him."
The man's resolute words made Kedori stunned for a moment. He raised his head in surprise, only to see Wesk narrowing his eyes and staring at him solemnly. At this time, without even saying a word, the air seemed to freeze, causing the blood in Kodori's body to freeze little by little—
He seemed to realize that something was fermenting secretly.
A faint smile appeared on Wesker's handsome and sculpted face, and he said, "Your piano sound..."
"It's the most beautiful melody I've ever heard in my life."
Maybe it was because the moonlight was too hazy at that moment, or maybe it was because the light smile of the man like the ice layer breaking and the spring flowers blooming was too heartwarming. a kiss.
The kiss started with the movement of the two getting closer, and the kiss deepened into the bodies they were hugging tightly.
There is a man's cold and refreshing smell everywhere in the mouth and nose. Unlike this person's cold skin, this person has hot lips. When the two lips touched, Kodori only felt as if he was melted by the other party, and even if his reason gradually regained his consciousness, he was painfully unwilling to break free from the other party.
At the foot is the noisy and lively banquet hall, and the evening wind whistling past in the summer night. Two men seem to be cheating on this small balcony and start an unethical love. This kind of love can only be a fire. The emotional person is burned to pieces, while the rational person is smashed to pieces. But with the hammer ruthlessly gouging the heart of the other party.
This long kiss, from the very beginning, never thought of ending.
There are very few times when you are so selfless. If someone told Kedori half a year ago, you will be desperate for love in the future. Then Ketoli will only tell the other party helplessly: "You really think too much, my family will always be more important than my lover."
But now, he slapped himself mercilessly.
He was kissing his brother-in-law, his sister's fiancé! His sister is holding a birthday party downstairs, but he is here to seduce her brother-in-law, trying to develop an unethical relationship with him.
When there was a burst of applause from downstairs, Kodori's sanity suddenly returned. He pushed the man in front of him away, only to see Wesker looking at him in surprise.
After taking a few breaths, Kedori tried his best to keep himself rational, and his voice did not tremble: "Sorry, just... it was an accident just now. I... have to catch the early morning flight, so I'll go first."
"Kedori!"
The one who answered Wesker was the back of the young man running away.
