Female-to-male: I live on farming

While Qin Ke was in a trance, the banquet was already filled with thunderous applause.

It turned out that the dinner had already officially begun. Lu Si Ning had already brought Lu Youqing to the stage to start speaking. She used the speech she had prepared long ago, a mixture of true and false, false and true. Everyone just looked at the result.

After tonight, Dongcheng will have a new celebrity.

"...God sent Youqing to me, and we felt like old friends the moment we met. She happened to be alone and helpless, so I adopted her as my daughter. Everyone present here tonight can bear witness to this..."

While Lu Si Ning was talking, she held Lu Youqing's hand tightly. Others thought that her love for Lu Youqing was beyond words, but Qin Ke knew that it was the cherishment of regaining what she had lost.

After another round of applause, the protagonist finished his speech and the dinner officially began.

The melodious and soothing music sounded in the hall at the right time, gently lingering in people's ears.

Everyone turned their eyes to where Lu Youqing was, curious about who would be the first to invite her to dance the first dance.

All the young masters from noble families present were ready to make a move.

But I only saw Lu Youqing standing there, her beautiful eyes looking straight through the crowd in a certain direction.

Qin Ke looked at her from a distance, and she knew who she was looking at.

He also knew what expectations were contained in her bright and charming eyes, but Qin Ke felt as if his feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds.

The physical distance between her and Lu Youqing was only a few dozen meters, but Qin Ke felt as if there was a chasm between them.

She just stared at Lu Youqing without moving.

But Lu Youqing's face was still affectionate and gentle as he looked at Qin Ke, his light eyes fixed on her firmly. Qin Ke bit her lips tightly, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

Until she saw her plump, rosy lips slightly open and move, silently uttering two words.

Qin Ke recognized her lip movements and called her name again.

Just like when she first came to this strange world, it chose her silently and firmly.

Qin Ke pinched his palms so hard that his nails dug into them.

She let out a light breath, and finally lifted her feet, stepped over the wide and steep chasm, and walked step by step to her front.

Huo Liting lowered his eyes, his dull gaze fell on the champagne in his hand. He pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to put it down and slowly walk towards the center of the hall.

When she looked up again, she saw that the crowd had tacitly made way for a passage, and a woman with an unfamiliar face had slowly walked up to Lu Youqing, bent down slightly, and stretched out one arm in front of her, making an inviting gesture.

Lu Youqing's usually calm and cold face smiled softly and he placed his fair and soft hand in her palm.

That smile was different from the polite smile she gave to others. It was a real smile from the heart.

When she smiled, it was as if the spring breeze was blowing the winter snow, bright and brilliant. When she looked at the man holding her waist, her eyes were still stained with twinkling spring light and lingering affection.

Huo Liting stood there in a daze, his broad back actually having a somewhat lonely meaning.

"sorry."

Qin Ke mechanically followed Lu Youqing's dance steps, with his head lowered like a child who had made a mistake, and his voice was hoarse and bitter.

Lu Si Ning once found an etiquette teacher specifically for Lu Youqing and taught her dance steps. After she came back, she pulled Qin Ke to dance with her and asked Qin Ke to help her practice.

At that time, she probably had the idea of ​​leading the dance with Qin Ke.

Realizing this, Qin Ke felt even more guilty.

"But you finally came, and that's enough."

However, Lu Youqing hooked his arms around her neck, put his cheek against her earlobe, and got even closer to her, so close that his breath could spray onto the hair on Qin Ke's skin.

There was no displeasure or blame in her tone, and she was still so gentle and considerate.

But the more she did this, the more guilty Qin Ke felt.

It was her inferiority complex that made her timid. But she knew Lu Youqing was waiting for her, and she couldn't let her down. The few steps towards her seemed to have exhausted all her courage.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to look up and meet Lu Youqing's gaze.

She was afraid that she would see her wandering eyes, see the inferiority and cowardice in her eyes, and realize that the person she chose was actually a coward.

The slightest thing makes her feel timid.

But Lu Youqing knew her so well that he could see Qin Ke's inner struggle.

She lost her memory, forgetting the ten years they had worked together; forgetting that she had once risen to a high position of power and become a close minister to the emperor; and forgetting that they even had a daughter...

Her mentality became younger as she lost her memory. In her cognition, they had just fallen in love not long ago, so she became anxious and worried and felt insecure.

She will make up for what she doesn't have or lacks.

After Lu Youqing spun lightly in Qin Ke's hands, she fell into her arms again.

After the dance, Lu Youqing took Qin Ke's hand as if no one was around and led her towards Lu Si Ning, rejecting all other invitations to dance.

At this time, many other people were dancing in pairs in the hall, and some socialites were bold enough to invite Huo Liting to dance in a tactful way.

Although Huo Liting is aloof, he is a very polite person.

It is not gentlemanly to reject a lady, and besides, this kind of ballroom dancing is just a courtesy and does not mean anything.

So he bent down slightly, glanced at Lu Youqing and the woman's hands clasped together, pursed his thin lips, and took the lady into the dance hall.

"Whose is that? Do you know him?"

After carefully examining Qin Ke, who was standing side by side with Lu Youqing, he shook his head gently: "I don't know him, I've never seen him before. Isn't he from East City?"

"She seems to have come here with Miss Lu. She must be Miss Lu's friend, right?"

"A friend I knew before?" The person who spoke glanced up and down at Qin Ke again, and his tone became much more casual.

If it is a friend you knew before, it means that this person has no background or resources and is just an ordinary person.

Then there is no point in making friends.

"This Miss Lu has stepped directly into the upper class of East City. She even brought her old friends to attend this kind of banquet. She really has deep friendship and loyalty."

However, the person who said this had a very sour tone in his voice.

"Her friend is also lucky. She hooked up with Miss Lu. With her as a backer, she can basically walk around East City as she pleases."

……

Lu Nanqi did not invite anyone to dance, but stood tall in the corner of the ballroom, observing the entire venue with his deep and sharp eyes.

He heard the whispers and gossip of people around him.

He slowly raised the wine glass in his hand and gently took a sip of the red wine in the glass, letting the mellow wine flow on the tip of his tongue for a while before swallowing it into his throat.

He looked at the woman standing in front of his aunt. Through the thin lenses, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Deep eyes.
