Love at Second Sight [Interstellar]

When Zhuang Yan came to Zhou Yuchen's suspension car, he felt that this person was everywhere in his life recently.

"You're here." Zhou Yuchen greeted him without the slightest surprise.

"..." Zhuang Yan sat down in the car under his signal, "Admiral actually came to direct the rescue in person?"

"After all, the diplomatic relations between the empire and Andorra are becoming more and more important, so it is natural to pay attention. Now that the rescue is almost in progress, the Grand Duke hopes that I will come to the banquet hosted by him." Zhou Yuchen said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to come to their capital once I arrived. Met you." The corners of his eyes were slightly curved.

You didn't appear to be "unexpected" at all, Zhuang Yan cursed.Zhou Yuchen said, "Where do you plan to live?"

Zhuang Yan said: "I plan to visit the Grand Duke and Queen immediately, and the Queen invited me to stay in the palace for a few days."

"Oh?" Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "Is this not too good?"

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Yan realized what Zhou Yuchen was planning.

Zhou Yuchen said: "After all, you are no longer their son-in-law. I think it may be inconvenient for you to live in the palace."

"I can also be just a guest." Zhuang Yan took a breath, "What else do you suggest?"

"I suggest that you live in the embassy with me." Zhou Yuchen laughed.

"I reject."

"why?"

"You should know what I'm here for." Zhuang Yan got up, and while getting out of the car, he turned around and glanced at Zhou Yuchen. He always felt that this person came with bad intentions, but he couldn't catch any flaws.

I can't use the force, it's like punching into cotton.He gritted his teeth: "During this period of time here, let's not act together."

"why?"

Why do you have so many why!Zhuang Yan said expressionlessly: "General Zhou, we are friends, not conjoined twins, why do you have to tie me together?" It might be a bit narcissistic to say so, but he does have a feeling.

Zhou Yuchen looked at him: "Okay."

After receiving the other party's compromise, Zhuang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the suspension car. The adjutant standing beside the car saluted him with a smile and sent him back to his car.

Zhuang Yan's hover car then drove towards the palace of Westminster.

The Principality of Andorra is a country that advocates art and culture. Zhuang Yan was yearning for the atmosphere here, so he came here for a while, and then met Helena at a palace banquet.

When Zhuang Yan entered the palace, the Duke was busy with business, so the gentle and kind queen received him: "Long time no see, child, I miss you so much."

"Me too, madam." Zhuang Yan kissed the back of the queen's gloved hand lightly, and turned his gaze behind her.

The queen understood who he was thinking about: "Helena went to the tea party, she was angry, I told her in advance that you would come."

Zhuang Yan's face was a little gloomy, but he still said, "It's okay. I will stay here until she is willing to see me."

"It's really embarrassing for you. I taught my daughter badly. I can't express my regret to you." The queen said softly, "Don't worry, you will meet tonight. Tonight's banquet..."

Zhuang Yan suddenly asked, "Is it a banquet to thank the Imperial Rescue Army?"

"You know everything?" the queen asked in surprise.

"I met Zhou Yuchen on the tarmac," Zhuang Yan said.

The queen was also a little speechless for a while, and the direct trigger of the marriage to this point was the general Zhou Yuchen, but everything was his daughter's nonsense, so what's the matter with others?She originally planned to separate Zhuang Yan and Zhou Yuchen tonight, to give Zhuang Yan and her daughter a chance to be alone.

"You don't have to make things difficult." Zhuang Yan reassured her in turn, "The gap between me and Admiral Zhou is not as big as you think."

The servant of the palace came over and led Zhuang Yan to the prepared residence. Zhuang Yan was about to leave, but the queen took his hand and said, "You know, I really want to entrust Helena to me, and I want to, too." I have lived through the scene where you became my child and called me mother."

Zhuang Yan looked at her: "Thank you."

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhuang Yan settled down in the residence. He wanted to catch up on sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he went outside the palace and asked the servant, Princess Helena, if she had returned to the palace.

After inquiring, the servant said, "The princess has already returned."

Zhuang Yan wanted to go directly to see Helena, but thinking about it, she definitely wouldn't want to see him, so he had to go back to the bedroom to toss and turn, feeling a little headache at the thought of meeting Zhou Yuchen and Helena at the same time.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the banquet was held in the palace.All the dignitaries of the Principality of Andorra are invited. Of course, the protagonist of this banquet is the imperial soldiers who came to rescue this time. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yuchen is alone. After all, as a famous general of the empire, he came to direct the rescue in person, no doubt enough Andorran face.

Zhuang Yan finally met Helena.

She is still the same as before, whether it is beauty or arrogance, she stands with the Grand Duke and Queen, Zhuang Yan walks over, but Helena refuses to extend her hand, the eyes of the guests cast their eyes on this side, and the Queen treats her With a reproachful look, Helena stretched out her hand.

Zhuang Yan kissed the back of her hand, and could feel her tight arms resisting him.

At this moment, there was a noise at the door, and it was the guest of honor of the banquet.

Helena's complexion changed, and she also looked over there. When she saw the man in military uniform walking into the banquet, she pursed her lips, and a look of resentment and anger flashed in her eyes.And when he saw a beautiful and tall female companion on the man's arm, he couldn't hide his resentment.

She withdrew her hand, Zhuang Yan straightened up and said, "I think we can go and talk."

"There's nothing to talk about," Helena said.

"Helena!" the queen scolded.

Helena glanced at her, turned around and left.The queen said: "Zhuang Yan..."

"It's okay, I'll just talk to her later." Zhuang Yan said.The queen sighed, and at this time the guest of honor had already stepped forward to express his thanks to the grand duke and his wife.

"It's a great honor to come to the banquet." Zhou Yuchen took off his military cap, put it on his arm, and said with a smile, his eyes dotted with tear moles were shining brightly under the light.

The queen looked at him. It was the first time she had seen Zhou Yuchen, and she was a little amazed at the demeanor of this young general.The female companion next to him also saluted slowly, but she was a beauty not inferior to Helena, with a plump figure, well-proportioned bumps, smiling eyes and lips, her actions were both charming and sassy, ​​she was really eye-catching by Zhou Yuchen's side.

According to the etiquette, Zhou Yuchen took the back of her outstretched hand and kissed it. After a few polite words with the Grand Duke and his wife, he was about to retreat, but he turned to Zhuang Yan and said, "Mr. Zhuang, why don't you go to the side for a glass of wine?"

The queen did not expect that Zhou Yuchen would take the initiative to talk to Zhuang Yan, and she was a little worried about Zhuang Yan's attitude, but Zhuang Yan was beyond her expectation, and his face towards Zhou Yuchen was not very good, but he was also calm, acquiescing and generally nodded to the Grand Duke and her, He left with Zhou Yuchen.

Zhuang Yan and Zhou Yuchen walked to the banquet room and said, "Excuse me."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Yuchen stopped him and said, "To find Princess Helena?"

"Why ask knowingly?" Zhuang Yan turned to look at him and said, "I hope you don't do anything on a whim, Admiral Zhou."

"Why do you always think I'm going to do something?" Zhou Yuchen looked a little helpless, "What have I done? On the contrary, you, once here, are full of wariness towards me. Is my attitude not obvious enough?"

When he said it so bluntly, it seemed that Zhuang Yan was going too far. The expression on his face wavered for a while, but in the end he kept a straight face, shook his head at Zhou Yuchen and said, "Maybe I was too careful, but..." He Looking at Zhou Yuchen, "The purpose of coming here is very important to me, and you also know why everything has developed like this, so please don't ask, and don't interfere."

Zhou Yuchen looked at him, his eyes finally sank: "Really?"

Zhuang Yan pursed his lips, and Zhou Yuchen said, "Then I hope you have a good night, Mr. Zhuang." As he spoke, he gave his arm to the female companion who followed behind him, and the beauty looked at Zhuang Yan with a smile, and looked at him He bent his knees a little, then pressed his chest against Zhou Yuchen's arm, put his red lips close to the man's ear and said, "General, shall we go dance?"

Zhuang Yan paused, and he realized that Zhou Yuchen hadn't called him "Mr. Zhuang" for a long time when he was only looking at him.But he didn't say anything, he just nodded at this pair of men and women who seemed to be quite a match, then turned and walked out of the hall.

He waited in the little flower hall where the queen told him to wait, and after a long time, Helena really came.

He stood up, and Helena walked in, and the waiter closed the door behind her. One side of the small flower hall was facing the courtyard. Westminster was in the heat of summer, and the cicadas were singing one after another.

The two of them looked at each other, and Helena looked at him for a while, then turned her head away: "Why are you bothering?"

"I think the Queen has already told you everything." Zhuang Yan couldn't help but take two steps forward, "Helena, you have to believe me, there will be no engagement between Zhou Yuchen and I, and I will not abide by the result of the match... ..."

"I know." Helena interrupted him, "I know what kind of person you are. At that time, I just heard the news and was shocked."

Zhuang Yan looked at her, his face softened a little and said: "Then the problem is solved?"

"Solved what?" Helena turned around and said, "I didn't refuse the marriage because you married Zhou Yuchen."

"It's because you don't love you." Zhuang Yan said this with difficulty, "but I...I love you."

"No, you don't love me either." Helena said, "I've been thinking about it for a few months, and I don't think you love me either."

"How could I not love you?" Zhuang Yan couldn't help becoming excited, "We have been..."

"You love me like a specimen!" Helena said, "You have never been to me..." She was a little speechless, so she turned to say: "In short, I neither love you nor feel I know that you really love me. I know that refusing to marry is an insult to you and your family. In the past few months when I returned to China, countless people laughed at me behind my back, laughing at what a beneficial marriage I rejected , What kind of fiancé did I miss. But I figured it out, I never want to be a dead Mrs. Zhuang!"

"Dead and haggard?" Zhuang Yan found it unbelievable, "Do you think this will be the consequence of you marrying me?"

"Isn't that so?" Helena looked at him, "Zhuang Yan, think about it, what you see me in your eyes, and what I am in real life! ... That's all I want to say, goodbye. "

Before she finished speaking, she walked out the door. Zhuang Yan quickly chased her two steps, but her heart was aroused by her words again, and she stopped in place in a daze.All of a sudden, his world was only left with the chirping of cicadas.
