Not all stories have a happy ending, not every fairy tale ends, the prince and princess will live happily together forever. Under the beams of two silver moons at the Double Moon Festival dance today, the relatively silent pair of men and women are not princes and princesses, and the story between them is a bit complicated. , the most important thing is that they themselves are people walking on different life trajectories. At this time, they have completely different life ideals and goals from each other.
"I can't dance." After a moment of silence, Xu Le looked at Zhang Xiaomeng's smooth shoulders exposed outside the dress, stared at the girl's cute collarbone, suddenly thought of the three words Suo Qingqiu, and said, "I I don't know your secret, if you have any important and necessary purpose for approaching Tai Zhiyuan, maybe I can help you pass it on."
"I don't know how to dance either." Zhang Xiaomeng clasped his hands at his waist, his voice was a little light, "and dancing with me will cause you trouble."
Xu Le raised his head and looked directly into her eyes, and said calmly, "Just like what I said outside the teaching building that day, I always think you like me. If that's the case, why can't we be together?"
"I have my last resort." Zhang Xiaomeng raised her face slightly, showing the faint unwillingness and stubbornness on her face, "I didn't expect things to develop into the way they are today. What to say to you, what to ask of you... always makes me feel like I'm taking advantage of you, and I don't like that."
Xu Le didn't understand this sentence, but he naturally felt a little heavy in his heart. After a while, he said, "Whenever you want to tell me your secret, please contact me. I have time at any time."
Zhang Xiaomeng lowered her body slightly, bowed to him, and said softly, "Maybe there is no such day... I'm sorry."
"You've said too much sorry these days." Xu Le's eyes narrowed angrily and said, "I don't like listening to it."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaomeng suddenly bulged and smiled, looking extremely cute, tilted her head and winked at him, and said, "Since I don't know how to dance, then I'll go first."
In this cute and clean appearance, Xu Le could see the sadness in the girl's heart, and her mood sank, watching Zhang Xiaomeng turn around neatly and walk towards the exit of the ball.
There was a big uproar at the dance scene again, people's eyes followed Zhang Xiaomeng's departure, and the beam of light followed Zhang Xiaomeng's departure very ignorantly. Everyone thought that this would be another romantic story in the history of the Ewha University Double Moon Festival that would be remembered for many years, but no one thought that the heroine of the story would leave in silence like this.
Looking at the girl in blue who was walking away with the beam of light, the people watching this scene always felt that they were watching a stage play at the Capital Gothic Theater, and a kind of indescribable sadness naturally developed in their hearts. Xu Le watched Zhang Xiaomeng's back in silence for a moment, then turned around neatly and left in the opposite direction.
The light above his head was still shrouded, moving with his slightly lonely back. If the previous light beam was very romantic and moving, the current light beam is particularly dazzling. Xu Le's mood was a little gloomy. He raised his head and squinted at the lights above his head, and suddenly said, "It's not a tragedy, what's the atmosphere!"
The emotion in this sentence is very wrong, there is a kind of anger hidden in the calm. The light beam also seemed to feel scared and went out instantly. The entire hall was plunged into darkness, and only the pair of bright full moons, thousands of kilometers away above the head, sprinkled Qinghui down.
The lights were turned on again, the beautiful dance music played again, and the Double Moon Festival dance at Ewha University continued again. The waiter walked through it respectfully with wine glasses and food. However, the atmosphere in the room was already a little embarrassing, and it was no longer difficult to return to the previous lively and happy mood.
Some people have already left, Zhang Xiaomeng left alone; Zou Yu left with a resolute expression and sadness; even the group of children from the rich family from the capital left the dance scene silently. In their opinion, the behavior of the Tai family heirs today is an authentic farce. Of course, the other party has this qualification. It's just that they were not in a good mood, especially thinking of what happened after they came to the sea. Before these people left, they took a cold look at Xu Le's back.
Life still has to go on, especially for the average young people in the Commonwealth, the highlight of the prom did not have a satisfactory result, but their love still fermented in the moonlight. Along with the melodious dance music, the atmosphere gradually became active, and many pairs of dance partners entered the dance floor and began to dance gracefully.
Shi Qinghai, who had disappeared for a moment before, stood back to his place, calmly looked at Xu Le who was walking towards him, and said in a very low voice, "The twelve agents of the Secret Service are all outside the building, the ones inside should be Tai's own bodyguard."
The middle-aged man beside him looked at Xu Le who was getting closer and smiled slightly. The spy leader of the anti-government army believed in Eagle's ability to handle affairs, and was not worried about his own safety. Instead, he talked about another topic: "I suddenly thought, if Zou Yu succumbed to your threat, if it didn't suddenly appear In this scene, could Zhang Xiaomeng go up to the second floor?"
"I'm not used to evaluating the abilities of amateurs." Shi Qinghai looked straight ahead with a calm expression.
"No, I appreciate Comrade Medellin's arrangement." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "The more amateur you are, the easier it is to succeed... A professional like you is actually getting worse and worse."
Shi Qinghai raised his brows, did not answer, and patted Xu Le on the shoulders, who walked in front of him, to express his friend's comfort. The middle-aged man looked at Xu Le and smiled.
At this moment, a waiter came to the front of the three, and very politely issued an invitation to Xu Le. Xu Le looked at the middle-aged man beside him in surprise and asked, "Uncle, when did you come up?"
The waiter maintained a calm and polite manner. He only issued an invitation on behalf of the young master. As for how the ugly-looking middle-aged man came up, he needed to be filtered by the security department and was not within his scope of work.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No one is stopping me... Besides, didn't you promise me just now that you would take me with you as long as you went to the second floor?" This is obviously untrue. The scene seems to be slack, but in fact, it leads from the first floor to the second floor. I don't know how many links to go through. Although Xu Le is the cover, the ability of this middle-aged man is too terrible.
The door opened at this moment, Xu Le shrugged indifferently, and led the waiter to walk in with the strange uncle beside him.
This is a huge suite. The floor is covered with imitation wool carpets. The furniture around it is quite antique, and there is not much modern electronic style. The curtains and lights all look so elegant.
In the deepest part of the suite, on a huge sofa, sat a young man with a pale complexion. Or it would be more appropriate to call him a teenager, because every time Xu Le saw him, he always felt that his body was very weak and a little thin.
"Thank you..." Suddenly he learned the true identity of the young man opposite him. Although it was far from his true identity, Xu Le still felt like there was a door closed between him and Tai Zhiyuan. Difficult to get used to, he said in a slightly astringent voice, "I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise."
Tai Zhiyuan obviously guessed Xu Le's reaction when he saw him, smiled slightly, pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sit down, don't be too cautious."
It's amazing, this kind of tone is usually the tone used by the superiors to the subordinates, but Tai Zhiyuan said it so naturally. Xu Le's brows were slightly wrinkled, a little unaccustomed and a little uncomfortable, but he still sat on a chair beside the sofa.
There was some silence in the room. The two of them didn't seem to know what topics to talk about. After all, they used to talk most of the time through the communicator and the piece of paper. Even after the last meeting, they really talked and chatted like ordinary people. Not much time either. Xu Le didn't know what the Xiu Shu Foundation was, let alone what the Tai family represented in the federation. He didn't know the history of Tai Zhiyuan, but he always felt that the Tai Zhiyuan on the sofa at this time was the same Tai Zhiyuan he knew at night. Not the same person.
Tai Zhiyuan at night was an ordinary boy who was proud, a little indifferent, and a little bored, but at this moment, Tai Zhiyuan was like a monster born with a certain imposing manner.
In this silence, the only alternative was the middle-aged man who followed Xu Le into the room. The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, like a tourist, staring at the knickknacks in the room with interest, as if he didn't want to participate in the conversation at all.
Butler Jin, who was standing silently beside the sofa, kept staring at the middle-aged man with a complicated look, and suddenly said, "Student Xu, who is this?"
Xu Le was startled, smiled embarrassedly, and introduced to Tai Zhiyuan and the housekeeper Jin who had met once: "This is my friend's uncle. I asked him to take him to the second floor for a walk, but I didn't know it at the time. You were upstairs and responded casually, but I didn't expect the old man to actually follow him."
"You don't know, it doesn't mean everyone doesn't know." Tai Zhiyuan glanced at the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "Would you like to sit down and talk for a while?"
"You talk first, you talk first, I'm not in a hurry." The No. 2 figure in the anti-government army, completely unaware of being in danger, waved his hand with a smile.
What's amazing is that when he said this, Tai Zhiyuan really didn't care about him anymore, and let the middle-aged man wander around in his room. He turned his head, looked at Xu Le with a gentle smile and said, "Let's get to know each other again, Xu Le, my name is Tai Zhiyuan."
The atmosphere in the room finally relaxed, Xu Le said with a smile: "Of course I know, I also guessed that your family must be quite rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich... I have heard of the Rehabilitation Fund."
"But I don't think you know my true identity." Tai Zhiyuan looked at him and said calmly, "The repair fund is just something for ordinary people to see... Our family got together with some other wealthy and leisure families. The people of the Federation gave a saying, what is the Seven Great Masters... I think you should have heard of it."
Xu Le was stunned to hear this sentence, and suddenly remembered that he felt Tai's surname was familiar a long time ago, and asked incredulously: "Is it the ancestor who was the emperor... That Tai family?"
"Few people still remember what happened tens of thousands of years ago. It seems that your history is good." Tai Zhiyuan said with a smile.
