The sudden change, like water pouring into a frying pan, exploded with a "wow", causing all the guests in the hall to whisper to each other after a brief shock, and to talk to the people around them one after another. The Patriarch of the Clark family on the stage was already stunned, with a livid face, glanced at Cyril, then glared angrily at the person at the door, and ordered rather dissatisfied: "Beatrice is back, Master Cyril is asking In your case, it’s really impolite to leave without a reason before giving an answer!”
There was no response to his order, and Wen Ying's mind was occupied by Chris.
"Chris?"
"You recognized me at a glance." He said happily, held her cheeks in his hands, and looked at her carefully, "Well, it's a pleasure to be able to see you with my eyes."
As soon as the words fell, she smiled and stared at her. When she smiled, her eyes curved slightly, and the mist that couldn't hold in her eyes instantly turned into teardrops and dripped down.
He carefully wiped it off with his fingertips, and the delicate and moist touch made him sigh, "I should have come back earlier." The substantive contact made people who have been in a spiritual body all the year round cherish the current relationship, He didn't dare to use more force, for fear of arousing her resentment.
Wen Ying pursed her lips, and after a slight pause, she asked the squinted-eyed man on the opposite side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay? When I picked up the soul tablet, I found a crack in it from an explosion. Send it to the shop for repair, and say It is difficult to recover, and Allen also helped me find the person who made this soul film and asked... "
For a moment she thought he was really dead.
Chris put his index finger on his lips, made a "shh" silence gesture, and winked at her, "Let's go back and talk quietly." He glanced at the guests, "I heard about your story before I came here. Prom, I thought I was going to see you, so I went to the barber shop to wash my hair, but I didn’t have time to dry it..." The action of his pulling her hair made her smile, and then she heard him ask: "So, did I just come in to disturb you?" Did something happen?"
Hearing what he said, Wen Ying just remembered something, and looked back at Cyril.
He was still standing on the same spot, far away, his expression was blurred, and the rose in his hand had been removed from his chest and fell to his leg.
She took the place where Chris came and went. Wherever they passed, all the guests retreated to the side. The sharp-eyed ones had already seen the identity represented by the epaulets on the military uniform that Chris was carrying casually. Even if they didn't know it, they were shocked by his unique aura. He walked half a step behind the girl with his long legs. He had the etiquette and upbringing of the upper class, but he also had the blood from fighting in the star thief's intrigue. Dare to make mistakes.
Finally, he stood in front of Cyril and greeted him briskly: "Cyril? Old friend, long time no see!"
"Chris?! Why are you back?"
When Cyril saw him clearly, he was shocked. Now there are fakes, but the Chris in front of him is obviously not the fake made by the Ackerman family in memory of his parents and children.
"Come to say hello to an old friend. Thinking about it, we haven't seen each other for three years. I still remember when I competed with you for the title of the best mech fighter in the academy. Unfortunately..." He shrugged, "I failed to complete my studies, The number one throne seems to be in your pocket."
His answer was obviously not what Cyril wanted to hear. He quickly sorted out his confused thoughts, and asked him directly: "As far as I know, you have lost news since you defected from the Freedom Federation. It stands to reason that you don't Might appear here…”
"That's right!"
A loud shout from the stage startled everyone. After being reminded by Cyril, the master of the Clark family suddenly realized the identity of the other party. He said angrily in an unbelievable tone: "If you are Chris from the Ackerman family, , then you are an important criminal wanted by the Federation, how dare you appear at the ball? Are you not afraid that I will notify the people in the military department to arrest you now!"
The outside world only knows that someone from the superstar Ackerman family has defected, but they don't know where he went, but the starlord still has some information about him, knowing that he has shamefully become a star thief! The reason why Cyril didn't make a fuss must be to give him face.
But even if he calls the wind and rain, he is just an interstellar pirate. How can he compare to the young master of the Sweet family, who is expected to become the supreme commander of the empire in the future? !
When the conversation was interrupted, Chris was not annoyed, and just responded: "What a coincidence, I just came from the military department."
"What?! Didn't the people in the military bring you..." to justice.
Before the four words were uttered, Patriarch Clark frowned suspiciously when the guests' comments drifted into his ears.
"I just got word that Chris Ackerman is back."
"I have eyes, and he is standing in front of us, of course I know he is back."
"No, it's back in the real sense! My brother is in the military department. It is said that an emergency meeting has just been held, announcing the withdrawal of the arrest warrant for Chris Ackerman, and clarifying that all his actions are for the Freedom Federation, the so-called " "Defection" was just a cover-up for his secret mission. Now, the information he brought back has been evaluated as top secret, and he will be directly promoted to the rank of major general. The news has not been officially sent out, and it is estimated that it will be available on the Starnet in a few hours. Fully published."
"Hiss—" people gasped, "I can't believe it..."
"real or fake?!"
Whether it is true or not, this question appeared in everyone's mind, and they all stared at the center of the storm with piercing eyes. Rao the owner of the Clark family was heart pounding, and immediately shut up. If it is true, the Ackerman family is of course completely comparable to the Sweet family...
Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, Chris took Wen Ying's hand without any burden, and said to Cyril in a sweet tone: "If you don't come again, you will marry my sweetheart, so I can only came back."
"Bill?"
Cyril held the rose tightly and looked at Wen Ying questioningly.
Wen Ying returned apologetic eyes and nodded, "... I just wanted to make it clear to you just now, but I didn't expect him to appear in time. Cyril, I used to like you, but after many things happened, I found that this The excessive affection comes from the protection you gave me when I was a child. At that time, like all Omega, I wanted an Alpha to protect me from the wind and rain. But then many things happened, and I found that I could Do what I once expected my Alpha to do for me. You said to join hands, yes, what I need now is someone who can join hands. But I'm sorry..." She paused for a moment, "That's not you."
"So the person you want to join hands with is him?"
At this moment, Cyril recalled that battle again, and her every move was filled with the shadow of Chris. After that match, he couldn't help thinking about it from time to time, could it be that before he knew it, the two of them had known each other, and they had been in frequent contact in private, and he was even willing to use the most core skills in his fighting style? Teach her, but she never mentioned it to herself, even though he is from an academic background and has the most comprehensive mech knowledge.
But—all of this must be carried out on the premise that they know each other. He thinks that the possibility of their knowing each other is very small, so every time he wants to ask her, he can't ask her.
And this strong contradiction almost drove him crazy.
Before Wen Ying could admit or deny it, he interrupted her.
"When exactly?" Cyril suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his azure eyes were as blue as the deep sea, and asked in a low voice, "How did you know each other, and when did you meet? Do not know at all."
As soon as Wen Ying said "I'm sorry", she heard Chris follow up and said: "This is a secret that only belongs to the two of us."
The dance came to an end like a farce. Wen Ying and Chris left the venue early. The Patriarch Clark naturally didn't dare to fight against Chris anymore and forced them to stay. It was originally held to announce the marriage of the two families, but Omega, who has not yet become a bride-to-be, has been abducted by someone. The nature of the banquet has changed, and it has become a discussion meeting to welcome another rising newcomer in the military department. Leave with the latest first-hand news.
As far as the owner of the Clark family is concerned, whether it is Sweet or Ackerman, they are all superstar families, and this deal will not suffer.
Only Cyril stood there with his head bowed like a statue, all the guests looked at him sympathetically, but they didn't dare to take a step closer to him under the cold aura around him.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and spread his palms. The rose that he has been holding has already had dark red slightly curled edges on the edges of the petals, indicating that it is gradually withering. He personally picked it from the DR planet owned by Sweet's family in the early morning. DR planet is a whole planet of roses. When he picked it, he thought that she might like this sea of roses, and he could bring her with him when he had a chance. look.
And now—
He suddenly realized that the palm of his hand had been pierced with rose thorns at some point.
He picked out the thorns that had been pierced by the rose stems and leaves in the palm of his hand one by one, but it took him a long time to work on only a few thorns, and he didn't even feel any painful thorns when they were pierced. After pulling it out, not only the flesh was turned over, blood stains were brought out, everything was more laborious than he had imagined.
"Cyrillic?"
In the undispersed crowd, Allen looked at him with somewhat complicated eyes, and finally stepped forward and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Cyril raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, "No, thank you." Gu Zi casually bandaged the wound with a handkerchief, greeted him, and left.
Allen looked at his leaving back and sighed.
He used to think that Cyril liked him somewhat, but seeing his attitude towards Beatrice, he suddenly realized that the other party was just looking for a qualified partner at first. However, no one can stay in place and wait for another person, only time is the manipulator behind it.
On the other end, Wen Ying led Chris to the Pharmacists Association, and she had already been assigned to a special laboratory.
Chris was very quiet along the way. After arriving at the place, he was fully prepared for her questioning, but found that after she threw herself on the sofa, she put on gloves and started to prepare for the experiment
"Excuse me?" Chris waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Any questions you want to ask me? Where's your urgency, what's your concern, honey, now all my time is yours—"
"Um."
She thought he was in the way and pushed him aside.
Chris: "…"
After losing his voice briefly, he asked seriously: "Sweetheart, I seriously suspect that what you are doing now is 'use it and throw it away'. Just now at the ball, the people you said you want to join hands with..." He paused , asked cautiously, "Is it me?"
"Of course." She answered very quickly, "—not you."
"..." Unexpectedly, Chris, who should have had a strong reaction, performed quite wonderfully. He quickly answered: "Sweetheart will cry for me, even if everything is false, I will die without regret " His tone seemed to be enjoying the gift of a beauty, and his words were extremely sweet.
Wen Ying, who was about to pick up the test tube, quickly turned her head away, and the corners of her lips had already curled up into a smile that couldn't be suppressed, and she was naturally caught in the eyes of the man.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a head of flaming red hair broke into it.
"Baby!" The visitor was very excited, "The result came out, 99.99% of the estrus was suppressed, and the degree of side effects was reduced to 19%, which is within the tolerance of ordinary Omega. I think we can find the right person." Do a promotion... huh?"
Seeing the extra people in the room, she stopped talking.
"Donna Wilson." Chris accurately reported her name.
"Who are you and how do you know me?"
The two Alphas didn't have much communication, and the mutual repulsion of pheromones has already made their swords tense.
"You don't have to know who I am, you just have to know—"
He lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Donna, and suddenly, in front of her, he hugged Wen Ying's waist from behind, arched his back like a big cat, and kissed her quickly on the side of her cheek affectionately, saying aggressively and provocatively : "—Just know this."
Wen Ying shook her hand, the potion in the test tube was overdone, and a cloud of pink mushrooms exploded with a "boom".
