Countless cards fell from the sky. Because fireworks had just been set off, many people went outside the house to watch, and many people received the cards.
The card is not pure white, but printed with dark patterns, and the text on it is coated with a layer of gold, making it look delicate and gorgeous overall.
Zhuang Baihua thought this was a birthday celebration program arranged by the Luo family, but he felt something was wrong.
The operation of scattering cards all over the place is not like the style of Luo Zhenduo or Mrs. Luo. If someone else wanted to do this, they should seek the consent of the Luo family.
Zhuang Baihua's attention was quickly drawn to the card in his hand. He was still observing the words on it when suddenly his hands were empty and the card was taken away.
He raised his eyes and met Chi Yue's.
Chi Yue had a cold face and casually threw the birthday card aside. She put one arm around Zhuang Baihua's waist and pinched his chin, forcing him to come closer and kissed his lips again.
Being distracted in front of me is an unforgivable sin and my mouth will be punished.
This time, their lips parted as soon as they touched, because Zhuang Baihua came to his senses. He pushed Chi Yue away, jumped off the fence, and landed firmly on the ground with both feet.
The moonlight just now was so charming and enchanting. Now Zhuang Baihua is awake.
"Xiaoyue..." Zhuang Baihua wanted to say something to Chi Yue, but Chi Yue interrupted him like a father and said, "Don't play dumb. You should know what a kiss means."
He just said the word "kiss" out loud, which was more embarrassing than actually kissing.
Chi Yue had a blank expression on his face and looked calm and composed, but his fair skin couldn't hide the blush at all, making his calmness look forced.
Zhuang Baihua's cheeks also turned red due to Chi Yue's straightforward words. He admitted that for a moment, he wanted to play dumb and run away.
But after listening to Chi Yue's words, he knew that he could not pretend. He was older than Chi Yue and should take responsibility.
The moonlight is alluring, Chi Yue is mesmerized, and he must stay awake.
Chi Yue was also a shrewd man, with a first-rate ability to read people's expressions. As he looked at Zhuang Baihua's expression, his heart slowly grew cold.
The remaining blush on Chi Yue's face quickly faded away, returning to its frosty white color. Now, he was standing on the balcony, wearing a black suit, with the night sky dappled with light and shadows behind him. He looked cold and lonely, like a heartless and desireless elf.
Zhuang Baihua's heart ached slightly. The kiss that this cold and gloomy young man had just given her was so passionate...
The two men were in a stalemate. Chi Yue knew that if he attacked, Zhuang Baihua would definitely dodge. He suppressed his inner rage, and his eyes became darker and darker. Zhuang Baihua could only look away in embarrassment.
Just then, there was a sound from the door at the other end of the room.
Someone from the Luo family came to look for us.
As the protagonist of today, Chi Yue had disappeared for too long. No one had disturbed her just now. This was the time Luo Zhenduo had reserved for them. This was the thoughtfulness and magnanimity of a mature man.
But Luo Zhenduo's patience was limited. He was worried about his son and good friend, so he sent people to look for them.
Zhuang Baihua said to Chi Yue, "Let's go. Dad and grandma will be worried."
Chi Yue said nothing and followed Zhuang Baihua out dejectedly.
When they returned to the first floor hall, the dinner was almost over. Chi Yue once again put on the disguise of the young master of the Luo family, with a smile on his face, elegant and charming.
Luo Zhenduo stood by and saw the guests off with Chi Yue. He tidied himself up, combed his hair, put away the decadence on his body, and looked dignified and steady. Anyone who saw him would have to praise him, saying that the master of the Luo family was a dignified man.
Zhuang Baihua stayed far away from them, not getting too close, nor leaving completely.
Secretary Chen keenly sensed that something was wrong and glanced at the man.
Just now several people disappeared one after another. Combined with the expressions of everyone now, Secretary Chen quickly deduced what happened.
The window paper was broken.
When most of the guests had left, the people from the Luo family gathered together to talk. Zhuang Baihua hesitated for a moment and then walked forward.
"So you still don't know who set off the fireworks?" Mrs. Luo's words attracted Zhuang Baihua's attention.
He asked aloud, "Is there a problem?"
Luo Zhenduo and Chi Yue looked at him at the same time. Zhuang Baihua calmed down and said, "I was about to leave when I heard you talking."
Madam Luo said quickly, "Zhenduo, hurry up and send Baihua away."
Zhuang Baihua smiled and said, "Don't bother, I can go by myself, but what happened?"
He asked persistently, and Mrs. Luo could only tell him: "The fireworks and cards falling from the sky just now were not our original plan. I don't know which guest did it. I asked around, and no one admitted it."
Zhuang Baihua was stunned and asked, "Have you checked the surveillance?"
Mrs. Luo smiled, her meaning was self-evident.
This is indeed unusual. Apart from anything else, the Luo family's security system is definitely world-class. Regardless of whether it is out of good intentions or not, if someone sets off such a grand fireworks display on the Luo family's territory, it should be possible that there are no clues.
And those cards flying in the sky, it’s such a big deal, but I don’t even know who made it.
"We will continue to investigate and find that guest and express our gratitude to him for giving Xiaoyue such a grand birthday gift." Mrs. Luo said with a smile.
Although Mrs. Luo was smiling, Zhuang Baihua could see that she was not happy.
Fireworks are beautiful, but this kind of hiding and uninvited behavior makes people feel uncomfortable. If we can't find who it is, it means that the Luo family's security is useless, which is really disturbing.
While Zhuang Baihua was talking to Madam Luo, Luo Zhenduo and Chi Yue remained silent.
Seeing that it was getting late, Madam Luo said to Zhuang Baihua, "Baihua, go home early. You have worked hard today."
Zhuang Baihua comforted Mrs. Luo: "Don't think too much, the banquet was a success."
Zhuang Baihua calmly turned to Luo Zhenduo and Chi Yue, father and son, and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
He lowered his voice and said, "Give me some time."
After saying this, he turned around and strode out of the Luo Mansion with his secretary.
Only after he sat in his car did he relax, leaning weakly on the back seat, frowning in embarrassment.
Secretary Chen asked worriedly, "Boss Zhuang, are you okay?"
Zhuang Baihua waved his hand, indicating that he should be left alone.
The calmness just now was just the bluff of an adult. In reality, he had wanted to escape from the Luo family a long time ago.
He is in a very confused mood now. Three people have confessed to him today.
The first two people stated clear keywords, and the last one used practical actions.
Faced with Chi Yue's actual actions, he did not refuse...
Zhuang Baihua inexplicably wanted to swear.
What the hell is going on in this bloody world? Has peach blossoms suddenly started to grow? Or has it grown a whole circle around him
Zhuang Baihua became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, and raised his arms to cover his eyes.
All the guests left, but Mrs. Luo was still worried. Luo Zhenduo said to her, "I'll ask someone to check it out tomorrow."
Chi Yue was indifferent to all this and turned back to her room.
Luo Zhenduo called him: "Xiaoyue."
Chi Yue turned around and gave her father a silhouette.
"No matter what, we are father and son."
Chi Yue did not respond.
It was completely unnecessary for Luo Zhenduo to say this. Since he chose to return to the Luo family this time, it meant that he recognized Luo Zhenduo as his father.
As for the others, they have been in competition since they fell in love with the same person.
Competition? Chi Yue sneered in her heart. This self-deceiving word was ridiculous.
It is impossible to rely on one's own ability.
Chi Yue stepped on the steps and slowly walked back to her room from the stairs.
He didn't turn on the light, dragged out the armchair, and sat alone in the dark.
He took the seal out of his pocket and slowly rubbed the grooves where the characters were engraved with his fingers.
After a long time, he raised his eyes and saw a white card scattered on the windowsill of his room.
Countless birthday cards landed in all directions of the Luo residence, and one of them was embedded in his window frame.
Chi Yue stood up, walked silently to the window and picked up the card.
The words "Happy Birthday" flickered like phosphorescence in the dark room.
The card was made of very good paper, thick but with neat edges. Chi Yue lowered her head, pinched a corner of the card, and stroked it across her back.
He has always been strong and never treated me politely. After repeated friction, red blood soon seeped out of his fair back.
He stained the seal with blood, then stamped it on a blank space on the white card. Two bright red words were immediately printed on the paper.
“The bright moon at the end of the world” is not pure and beautiful, but as red as blood.
Chi Yue stamped the card with a blood seal, lowered her eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and said with satisfaction: "It looks good."
He lifted his eyelids, glanced out the window, and said quietly, "What do you think? Do you agree with me?"
Outside the window, the night is deep, the trees are lush, everything is quiet, and no one answers.
Zhuang Baihua was very depressed when he got home.
He had never thought about love, but within a day the problem of love was put before him.
He admitted that he was biased.
He could reject Tang Feng directly, even countless times, but he would hesitate when facing Luo Zhenduo, fearing that he would hurt his good friend.
He was even more hypocritical when it came to treating Chi Yue, and he couldn't even say a harsh word to her.
Chi Yue was the smartest one, and he didn't express it directly like the two adults did, so he couldn't give a direct answer.
Zhuang Baihua began to doubt whether Chi Yue really meant that and whether he was overthinking it.
Maybe Chi Yue was just acting on impulse.
The more Zhuang Baihua thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply took a shower and threw himself into the bed.
But I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
The silver moonlight and Chi Yue's dark eyes were always flashing before his eyes, as were the arms around his waist and her thin lips. These broken images were like a spell, entangled in his brain and prevented him from falling asleep.
Zhuang Baihua lay on the bed with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Too many things happened today, and it was so chaotic that he had a feeling that he might be dreaming again.
The plot of the original book will reappear in his dreams.
This dream may be about the original owner.
If Zhuang Baihua were dreaming, he would probably dream of Chi Yue killing the original owner. Chi Yue relied on the power of the Luo family to pull the original owner off the throne, locked him in a small dark room, and then used those instruments to torture the man who was once so arrogant.
Zhuang Baihua has prepared himself mentally to embrace the dream.
But his mind was so confused that he tossed and turned so much that a human-shaped hole was almost worn out in his bed.
Finally, Zhuang Baihua couldn't stand it anymore, gave up dreaming completely, stood up and pounded his bed hard.
The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel. Why did he become so obsessed at that time
Damn, that was his first kiss.
