I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?
Chapter 169 The Third Dance
The banquet is coming to an end.
The people in the hall left one by one, and the banquet hall gradually became quieter from the noisy and bustling atmosphere at the beginning.
Inside the venue, there were only round tables with many desserts on them and empty champagne glasses on the side.
The tone of the orchestral music in the venue also became gentle, as if to make a perfect ending for this banquet hall.
Shi Chenchen looked down from the second-floor platform and saw that there were not many people left in the venue.
At this time, Shi Chenchen had already changed out of the gorgeous dress she had just worn and was now wearing a casual long skirt.
She walked slowly down the spiral staircase and slowly reached the outside of the hall.
Unlike the heat indoors which is still filled with carbon dioxide, it is slightly cool outside and one can even smell the fresh scent of the green belt nearby.
She looked at the bright moonlight outside, as if she was missing something.
But she knew that all this was just an illusion.
She walked slowly to a garden in the manor. On this quiet night, all kinds of fragrant flowers here had gone to sleep, and there were lights lit around for the gardeners to water the flowers.
Under the dim light, Shi Chenchen saw a man in the corner.
He sat on the marble bricks next to the flower bed. At first, Chenchen thought he was the gardener watering the flowers.
When I got closer, I saw that he was wearing a gorgeous suit and was obviously a son of a noble family.
But I didn't seem to see him much in the venue just now.
Shi Chenchen walked over, but found that the maid following her seemed unable to see him.
How is this going?
Shi Chenchen stopped and said to the maids behind him: "You guys leave first, I want to walk in the garden alone."
The maids showed hesitation on their faces, and the leading maid said:
"Miss, you are here alone. If the count finds you, he will blame us."
Shi Chenchen then smiled and said:
"We are in our own home. There won't be any ghosts or robbers. Don't worry. Just go back. When father mentions it, just say that I said it."
The maids looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat.
Now only Shi Chenchen and the "ghost" are left in the garden.
Only then did Shi Chenchen walk up to the "ghost" in the dark.
She fiddled with the flowers in the flowerbed nearby and said leisurely:
"Do you think the flowers here are pretty?"
The man sitting by the flower bed seemed unaware that the girl next to him was calling him.
He raised his head blankly and looked around, but found that there was no one around him.
Finally, he looked at the girl who was leaning over and stroking the white petals with a slightly surprised expression.
Under the soft moonlight, surrounded by lonely stars, the breeze blows gently, bringing with it the faint sound of the trees beside me, and it seems that I can hear the faint chirping of cicadas from time to time.
The indoor orchestral music also drifted here, bringing a touch of extraordinary atmosphere to this slightly cool night.
The man sitting next to the flowerbed opened his mouth and asked in confusion: "You... can see me?"
Ever since his spirit separated from a part of the laboratory, he has been wandering in the human world and no one has been able to see him for a long time.
He saw the slender white hands of the girl opposite him, gently stroking the white gentian flowers in front of her. Her eyes were very gentle, as if she was missing something.
She looked at him and gave him a sweet smile.
The moonlight behind her was reflected in her, and for a moment, this scene was like the most beautiful oil painting in the world, deeply imprinted in his mind.
He heard the girl's voice, with a hint of sweetness and tenderness, as if it was a goodnight song whispered in the night, with a lingering atmosphere.
"Yeah, I can see you."
"I……"
The man's face, which had been in the dark, finally appeared.
There were light red fish patterns on half of his face. His face was extremely delicate, with a somewhat enchanting beauty, and there seemed to be a look of confusion on his face.
It seems that he doesn't know why he is here now.
He could neither touch anyone, nor could anyone hear him.
Shi Chenchen looked at Gu Wang in front of him and said with a smile: "Do you still remember why you came here?"
Gu Wang shook his head and continued: "But I know you..."
"You danced beautifully on the stage today."
Shi Chenchen looked at Gu Wang praising her seriously, and the smile on her face became more obvious.
"So... do you want me to dance with you too?"
Gu Wang stared at the girl in front of him in a daze. The moonlight was bright, and the edge of the girl's white skirt was stained white by the bright moonlight.
Then he nodded and honestly expressed his thoughts.
"think."
The smile in Shi Chenchen's eyes became even more intense, as if he had not expected that Gu Wang, who had lost his memory, would be so funny.
It made her want to tease him.
Gu Wang, who had been sitting next to the flower bed, stood up now.
He had a tall figure, much taller than Shi Chenchen, and the breeze gently blew through the tips of his hair.
There are also automatic watering devices around, which are constantly rotating to water the delicate flowers around.
The moonlight refracted a soft white light on the water vapor, shining into the field of vision together with the surrounding dim street lights.
Under the hazy light and shadow, his extremely handsome face appeared, which looked different from what he looked like in the real world.
In reality, he always looks unruly and it seems that no one can catch his eye.
But now, he has lost his memory, and under the dim light, his eyes are confused, yet inexplicably reveal a sense of pity and helplessness.
The mermaid costume on his body was just as it was when it was intact, with its own intricate patterns.
A soft light flowed on his clothes, as if emitting a faint blue glow. It looked like some symbol from ancient times, revealing a mysterious and dangerous aura.
He looked down at the girl in front of him.
In fact, he should be on guard. After all, no one can see him now, which means that no one can hurt him.
The girl in front of him could see him, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of defense against her.
Perhaps he felt that the other party was too weak. Even in his current spiritual form, he believed that the other party did not have the ability to hurt him.
But... He covered his heart which was beating too fast. He always felt...
It seemed like I had met her somewhere before.
Shi Chenchen looked at Gu Wang in front of him. The height difference between them was obviously oppressive.
But because the expression on his face was too pure, he looked at her with clear eyes.
It seemed that Shi Chenchen, who was smiling in the low position, had taken control of the entire situation.
The combination of the two looks very strange.
But it is also unusually harmonious.
Gu Wang recalled how the gentlemen invited the noble ladies to dance at the banquet.
He also followed suit clumsily. He stretched out a pale but powerful hand and, as a gesture of inviting a dance partner, invited Shi Chenchen in front of him to dance with him.
Shi Chenchen looked at the person in front of him. Although he had lost his memory, he still looked at her without any guard.
She also lowered her head and smiled, and that smile was extremely sweet.
It was completely different from the smile he had just had at the party.
At the banquet, her smile was polite and restrained, as if she was keeping a proper distance from everyone.
but now--
Her smile seemed to be able to light up the dark night.
The evening breeze gently blew her long black hair that had been carefully curled by the maids, forming a very beautiful arc in the air.
It gently brushed across the back of Gu Wang's hand, as if gently touching his heart.
Gu Wang lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's extremely fair and delicate skin, which seemed to emit a faint fluorescence under the moonlight.
Unlike at the banquet, when she wore a soft white veil, now her face was completely exposed.
The smooth and beautiful jaw is as white as the white gentian flower next to it, looking pure and fragile.
Shi Chenchen looked quietly at Gu Wang in front of him.
Finally, she smiled and handed him her hand.
The two danced together in the moonlight.
Gu Wang had clearly never learned ballroom dancing, but he seemed to have just watched it once and followed Shi Chenchen's steps, dancing very standardly and smoothly.
His innate elegance and nobility were revealed in every move he made.
In between dances, neither of them said a word, just quietly enjoying the quiet night.
Gu Wang raised his hand, and Shi Chenchen seemed to sense something and turned around to walk past his strong and powerful arm.
As she spun, the girl's soft white skirt swayed in an elegant arc, and under the cool and bright moonlight, a gentle white edge was outlined on the edge of the girl's skirt.
The man next to him, without even noticing,
He smiled.
His eyebrows were curved and there seemed to be a light in his eyes. He looked at the girl who was dancing in his arms with extreme tenderness.
This scene looks incredibly beautiful.
...
Wen Zhi on the third floor was lighting a cigarette.
Quietly watching the two people dancing in the flower garden.
His eyes were very calm, as if he knew he would see this scene since he entered this world.
But he still couldn't hide the bitterness and pain in his heart.
Obviously... from the very beginning, he had only used his relationship with her.
Since when did I start to lose control of my body towards her?
Even seeing her being intimate with other men was something he couldn't stand in a dark way.
Even though...that person was her first love.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, the relationship between the two was not pure from the beginning.
He stared at the two people dancing, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand burned his white fingertips.
Then he put out the burning cigarette in his hand.
Then he returned to his bedroom.
...
"Shirataki, this is your brother."
"He wasn't in the main city for the previous month, so you didn't even know him."
Shi Chenchen looked at Wen Zhi in front of him in astonishment.
No, there shouldn't be any him in this world, why...
Will Wen Zhi appear here?
Shi Chenchen looked at Wen Zhi in front of him with surprise.
She saw the man in front of her, wearing a black riding suit, still smelling slightly damp from the early morning.
He sat on a pure red solid wood rattan chair, picked up the sword beside him, and used a white silk scarf in his hand to slowly wipe every speck of dust on the sword.
Even though the sword looked clear and transparent, Shi Chenchen could vaguely see his pale face from the sharp edge of the sword.
He was looking disdainfully at the new "sister" in front of him.
Wen Zhi, who was sitting aside, did not look at his sister. He was just wiping the sword in his hand carefully.
Shi Chenchen heard Count Polya introducing the man in front of him.
He...is her brother?
She never knew...that she had such a brother.
Looking at the face in front of him that looked exactly like Wen Zhi, Shi Chenchen frowned slightly.
Count Polya smiled and patted Shi Chenchen on the shoulder, saying, "Bai Kikyo, let your brother take you to the hunting competition this morning."
"After all, your brother is the most valiant and skilled knight in the entire empire. When he was a teenager, he blocked an attack from enemy spies for the great emperor. You know, the methods of those enemy spies are very vicious, and their strength is also very strong."
"He will naturally have no problem competing in today's small hunting competition."
After saying this, Count Polya smiled and looked aside. His son, who never smiled, seemed to be very cold from the outside to the inside.
Shi Chenchen looked at Wen Zhi like this and suddenly recalled the first time they met.
Although Wen Zhi had a polite smile on his face at the time, Shi Chenchen could keenly read from his eyes——
It was so cold that it looked like it could freeze one's bones.
There was clearly a smile on his face, but that smile was inexplicably frightening.
Count Polya's words brought Shi Chenchen back to his senses.
He said to the maids beside him, "Come on, you guys, choose the right riding clothes for the young lady today. Don't let the young lady embarrass herself in today's hunting competition."
The leading maid replied, "Yes, Lord Earl."
Zhou Yurou was also hiding behind this group of maids, and seemed very surprised to see Wen Zhi appear in front of her.
She received a reply from Ou Muchin last night.
It turned out that from the very beginning, Ou Muchin was surrounded by many people, including her "parents", maids who took care of her daily life, and noble ladies who were on good terms with her.
That's why she didn't have time to reply to her message.
Zhou Yurou felt much more relieved, perhaps because she used to like watching science fiction movies, which contained many conspiracy theories.
She always felt that Xiaoqin would be taken to some dangerous place by this virtual space, which would eventually make her unable to escape.
So that in the end, everyone in this world will be brain dead.
They can't go back to their real world.
After seeing Ou Muchin's reply, she finally felt relieved.
So, when she saw Wen Zhi in front of her, she didn't think too much. She simply thought that Wen Zhi was here to watch a movie this Saturday.
The role he drew this time might just be——
Miss White Kikyo's brother.
