Everyday people covet my beauty
Chapter 29
Overnight, earth-shaking changes took place inside the Gu family.
Gu Congzhang, the patriarch who made every effort to carry forward the Gu family from its humble beginnings, died unexpectedly. Gu Chen, who was favored by everyone, disappeared mysteriously. Fifth Young Master Gu Yang presented evidence, accusing him of being the one who caused Gu Chen's disappearance.
The Gu family fell into chaos. For the position of the head of the Gu family, Gu Congzhang's remaining sons tore each other to pieces, losing all face, and almost wanting to beat everyone's heads out of their heads.
But in this smoky chaos, the little transparent Gu Yuan, who was not noticed at first, took the opportunity to take the position, and held all the power of the Gu family in his hands before everyone could react.The Gu Family Guard, the Gu Family Consortium, and all the key departments of the Gu Family surrendered to him unconsciously.
No one knows how he did it, but he did it, and soon with these powers, he became the new head of the Gu family.
Of course Gu Congzhang's other sons would object, but unfortunately their objection was of no use at this moment, instead it gave Gu Yuan a handle.Not long after, the three of Gu Yang, Gu Ya, and Gu Hai were loaded into a ship, and sailed to a distant starry sky millions of light-years away under the pretext of "going out to relax": that old-fashioned interstellar spacecraft The junk of the hour is still unable to perform interstellar jumps, that is to say, when the three finally reach the destination of "relaxing", it will be tens of thousands of years later.
Tens of thousands of years from now, not to mention Gu Yang and the others, even the interstellar spaceship itself may have already been turned into ashes. The so-called "relaxation" is just a nice-sounding excuse, but it is actually a sentence of indefinite exile.
By the time the interstellar spaceship carrying three people unfortunately encountered a meteorite rain and was completely annihilated in the universe, it was already three or four months later. The exquisite invitations for the presidential palace dinner were sent from the A1 area and arrived in the hands of each guest one after another. , the three of them have just been sent on this journey that is destined to never return.
The night in District A1 is not as bustling as District A3.
Or because of the strong political attributes, the overall impression of the A1 area is grand and solemn. Even the lights at night are only plain and simple white, without the dazzling colorful colors of the A3 area.
The street is also full of traffic, or even more bustling: Originally, the traffic in District A1 was not as high as that in District A3, but tonight is obviously a special time.The annual presidential palace dinner is about to be held, and almost all the top powers in Yinhui gather here. Luxuriously decorated top luxury cars and ordinary black cars with simple appearance are mixed together, and they are crowded near the presidential palace. parking space.
The current president and his wife are waiting at the entrance of the mansion with smiles on their faces, greeting and greeting the new guests one by one. Their beautiful 22-year-old unmarried daughter is also following them, greeting the guests skillfully and gracefully. children say hello.
In previous years' banquets at the presidential palace, the children of the president and his wife usually did not attend, and the guests rarely brought their own children. However, this year's dinner was obviously very special.Not only did most of the guests bring their own children, but most of them brought daughters, and a few also had sons, but they were all teenagers who had not yet grown up, and some of them looked even more beautiful than young girls.
President Benjamin finally couldn't help saying to his wife during the interval between greeting two waves of guests: "I think some people are simply going too far. Look at that child, it's definitely not yet full...the legal age of marriage is ruled by them." I forgot all about it!"
"My dear, I think you should be familiar with this set..." His wife Caroline's smile remained unchanged, and the movement of her lips was almost undetectable: "And you know, they can get engaged first. "
"...Yes, engaged." Mr. President reluctantly admitted this, and quickly walked forward, laughing loudly to welcome the next guest who arrived at the mansion: "Lin Hua! Ah, and your beautiful Madam and children! It's been a long time no see... Yes, I miss you very much, too."
They shook hands vigorously, and the expressions on their faces looked extremely sincere, as if the other party was their eight worshiped brothers.However, after the guest entered the mansion, Mr. President said to his wife disapprovingly: "They brought a son."
"Who knows the major general's taste? Maybe he will like it?" Caroline shrugged, and her daughter Joanna stuck out her tongue quickly behind her: "Mom!" She said with some condemnation, Kao Lorraine smiled softly: "Oh, sorry, baby... I think he likes women. Otherwise, there are so many men in the military camp, why doesn't he have a partner yet?"
She and the President met each other's eyes, and they both laughed softly, and their daughter rolled her eyes: "For God's sake, Dad, Mom, now we have guests again!"
The president immediately turned his head away, and was about to greet the visitor with a big laugh again, but when he saw the other person, he was stunned.
He didn't know this handsome young man.
"The new head of the Gu family." Caroline reminded him calmly, the president immediately reacted, stepped forward two steps quickly, greeted Gu Yuan with affection and sincerity, and sent him into the mansion before turning around Come on, muttering to his wife: "He looks almost as old as Joanna...and he didn't bring anyone, he doesn't intend to marry himself to that major general, does he?"
"Maybe? Who knows, the Gu family can't do anything..." Before Caroline finished speaking, she was interrupted by another group of guests.The president's family went up to greet them again, and after exchanging skilled and warm greetings, when they looked up to see the next batch of guests entering through the door, President Benjamin finally showed the most genuine smile of the day.
"Marshal." He strode over and shook hands with Charles Grantham, the former Marshal of the Silver Hui Republic. Grantham shook his head with a smile and replied, "I am the principal."
"Yes, you are the principal, but in my heart, you will always be my old superior!" The president straightened up and saluted a standard military salute. Grantham said helplessly, "We are now They're not soldiers anymore, Benjamin..."
"Yes, I know, Principal." The smile on the president's face became a little lost. He put down his hand and looked behind Grantham: "Your students this year?"
His eyes swept over several young students one by one, and he was stunned when he saw one of them, and asked Grantham with some understanding: "...Is that one..."
"Gu Qingxuan." Grantham's smile remained the same, and the corners of his mouth were still reserved, but he couldn't help but look at Gu Qingxuan with a sense of complacency.The president immediately praised in cooperation, and went forward to greet the students one by one. It took a little longer to greet Gu Qingxuan, but it was not obvious, at least it did not make other students feel that they were left out.
"He's really the most beautiful kid I've ever seen... If I hadn't seen his photo, I really couldn't believe that he was that super S-rank superhuman."
After sending Grantham away, Mr. President whispered to his wife that he thought he would be stared at by his wife and daughter, and he also said "the most beautiful one should be my/our daughter". With a look of approval, Caroline even said to him: "I think Congress needs to add a law about the marriage of supernatural beings..."
After being stunned for a moment, President Benjamin immediately realized something, and his expression became serious.
"I think you are right, we should establish such a law." He looked at the crowded banquet hall behind him: "Although we have been preparing for today for a long time, I suddenly hope that the major general will not come to the dinner... "
Under his gaze, there was a moment of silence in the banquet hall, and Caroline raised her eyebrows: "He went in."
The president let out a deep breath and said with a ten-thousandth hope: "You think we are going to ask Joanna to take him elsewhere now..."
"Joanna will be eaten alive by the sons and daughters of those people."
Caroline spoke concisely, and the president sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you're right." He turned around and murmured amidst the clamor that suddenly erupted ten times in the banquet hall: "I Sincerely, very sincerely hope that the car that the major general is riding in today is out of order, traffic jams halfway, the road collapses, and the light track is broken..."
It's a pity that the president's ability is not "crow's mouth", so none of what he said could be realized. Caesar very smoothly - and too smoothly - arrived on time 10 minutes before the start of the banquet.
Of course, Lawrence was with him. After the two got out of the car, they were a little dazed looking at the extraordinarily noisy presidential palace.
"...The party here is really... lively." Lawrence said in a complicated tone, and Caesar's eyebrows frowned slightly.He didn't like this overly noisy environment, but he just stood there staring at the presidential palace for a moment, then said to Lawrence: "I have to go in, are you waiting for me outside?"
"No, I'll accompany you." Lawrence looked like he would risk his life to accompany a gentleman, but Caesar was indifferent to his tragic expression, and only said lightly: "Don't pick up girls on this occasion."
Lawrence: ...
"To be honest, when the word pick-up comes out of your mouth, it always makes me feel very horrified."
The two of them quickened their pace and walked forward, and several of Caesar's subordinates followed behind them.Except for Lawrence, who has no military rank, everyone is wearing a straight military uniform, with the rank badge of the Galactic Empire shining on it.
Lawrence said to Caesar while walking: "But speaking of picking up girls, how is that beauty doing now? You don't seem to be doing anything lately? Don't tell me you have given up?"
"I came here to complete the task." Caesar whispered, his subordinates had already slowed down with winks, and the distance from them was at least eight feet away.Therefore, their conversation was not heard by others, but Caesar still glanced behind him with warning, before answering Caesar: "Before things make progress, if I indulge in chores..."
"Your Majesty will kill you." Lawrence said immediately, but after thinking about it, he overturned his own words: "No, your surname is Amersfield after all. I don't think His Majesty will kill you, but he will kill you. You're distracted..."
"Yes."
The two exchanged a look, and Lawrence tapped his forehead: "Actually, I want to say that His Majesty may not be able to kill him...I met him a few days ago, and I was doing a good deed bravely..."
After receiving Caesar's suspicious eyes, Lawrence choked and said unbearably: "I really know how to do good things!"
"Yes, of course you will." Caesar's tone was not perfunctory, but it made Lawrence give up the idea of continuing to chat in an instant.He stood in front of the Yinhui Presidential Palace and sighed: "Did you know? It just occurred to me that Yinhui College seems to have candidates for the dinner."
Caesar, who was striding forward, immediately paused when he heard this.Lawrence seized the time and sighed leisurely: "If he is also included in this dinner, then many things can become more logical, and today's dinner will definitely not be very difficult..."
As he spoke, he peeked at Caesar's face, and was very relieved to find that his friend's expression had become a little uglier than before.
Well, the revenge was successful.
Lawrence chuckled and patted his brother on the shoulder: "But now the dinner party is about to start, it must be too late to say these things. Let's go, we'd better go in first, the time is almost up, we can't let Mr. President of Yinhui Waiting too long with the other nobles."
Caesar let out a breath slowly, and before the subordinates who followed behind arrived, his expression had returned to calm.
"Yes, you are right." He said, and soon stepped into the gate of the presidential palace with Lawrence.
When they entered the mansion, the president and his wife were still waiting at the door. He didn't know if it was Caesar's illusion. He always felt that the moment he saw himself and Lawrence, a trace of disappointment flashed across the face of the president very quickly.
"You are here!" President Benjamin quickly recovered his mood, smiled brightly as always, and shook hands with Caesar Lawrence politely and reservedly. He personally led the two into the noisy banquet hall : "Yinhui domestically holds such a banquet every year... It's a great honor for you to be able to participate today..."
After the initial greeting, it's all polite clichés.Lawrence walked two steps behind him, and suddenly found that the president was leading them to a corner with few people. He felt very satisfied at once. After the president left, he poked Caesar: "This president is quite winking. What? I thought he was going to take us to the center of the crowd."
"That's the president of the Yinhui Republic, who has the same status as His Majesty, so be more careful with your words." Caesar glanced at him, and Lawrence immediately said obediently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, but it's really strange , I thought you would be overwhelmed by those girls... just like every banquet before..."
As he said this, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced in the direction of the crowds, and then became dumbfounded.
"My God, it's him—it's Gu Qingxuan—look, isn't that over there?"
Lawrence pointed to the center of the crowd, and Caesar looked in the direction he pointed, and it took almost half a second to recognize it: the person surrounded by the crowded crowd in the center was indeed Gu Qingxuan!
Caesar's mouth was tight, he stared at the crowd for a while, and suddenly walked towards Gu Qingxuan without saying a word.
"Hey, wait a minute, someone is coming here..." Lawrence said hurriedly behind him. Several sharp-eyed couples had noticed the president's movements and were walking towards them with their daughters. The target was undoubtedly Caesar, who knew that Caesar would leave just like that!
"You deal with it." Caesar said without hesitation, and he didn't even slow down his pace.Lawrence stared at his back, and tried his best to suppress the urge to roll his eyes: "Okay, okay, who told me that you and I are brothers..."
He muttered, raised a smiling face, and greeted the crowd without hesitation: "Hi sir, hello madam..."
When Caesar walked all the way through the crowd, Gu Qingxuan didn't notice him.
Frankly speaking, no one noticed him at this time.The atmosphere of the banquet at the Presidential Palace was very good, the surrounding decorations were bright and beautiful, and all kinds of decorative food were also fragrant. Drinks of various colors were served in shining glasses, and the guests in various dresses were also full of enthusiasm...
But maybe, a little too enthusiastically.
"Hi, please allow me to introduce myself..." Just as the previous guest in front of Gu Qingxuan walked away, the next guest who was waiting beside him impatiently walked towards him.It was an elegant, but slightly bald gentleman. Behind him was his slightly fat wife with fair hair, and on the left was his daughter with the same fair hair who was at most about 17 years old.
Gu Qingxuan greeted him politely, exchanged greetings with him, and learned that he was Mr. Spencer, Will Spencer, and beside him were his wife and daughter: Mrs. Spencer and Miss Spencer.While talking to Gu Qingxuan gently, Mr. Spencer quietly showed the strength of his family.
"...You know, the Spencer family is one of the oldest families in Yinhui. In the history of our family, there have been more than one supernatural beings. Their life experience and information are of course stored..."
"...My daughter, Winnie, is only 17 years old, but she has already awakened a B+ level ability, and she has a very special language..."
While they were talking, Winnie Spencer—the daughter of Mr. Spencer—was standing next to Gu Qingxuan, smiling bravely and shyly, and there was a group of people waiting to greet Gu Qingxuan not far behind her people.Although they just seemed to be waiting leisurely, they did not line up in a long queue or form a row of walls, and they were still chatting with each other, after being baptized by the previous guests, Gu Qingxuan was fully aware of They are queuing up there, waiting to talk to themselves, to sell their family and daughter...
Oh, not all daughters, but several sons.
Gu Qingxuan finally realized that it was a mistake for him to attend the dinner party today: today's dinner party is not an ordinary dinner party at all, it is a large-scale blind date party!What is the so-called presidential dinner? The atmosphere of today's dinner has completely changed. Not far to his left, Gu Yuan is being dragged by a group of people, wanting to introduce his son and daughter to the new head of the Gu family. Grantham, who had a wife, was also besieged. Although not many people had the cheek to try to introduce their young daughters to him, but the widowed sisters and the like introduced him to more than a dozen.
It was because of their support that Gu Qingxuan felt that he was not too difficult to bear, and could still maintain a smile and chat with Mr. Spencer in front of him.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Spencer finally let him go, took his wife and daughter with a reserved smile, got up and left.But Gu Qingxuan was not at all relieved by their departure, because out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen that the group of chattering people beside him had stopped talking, and the family closest to Gu Qingxuan gracefully He stood up, ready to fill in the space left by the Shi Binke family after they left.
But fortunately, before the next family member had time to walk up to him and introduce themselves, Caesar had already swept through the entire hall like a gust of wind, and walked directly in front of him.
"Hi, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Caesar, Caesar Amersfeld."
He stood in front of Gu Qingxuan, and said the words he had practiced thousands of times, the family behind him didn't expect that he would be cut off suddenly, and suddenly stopped at a loss.
"Amosfield..."
"It's that Caesar, Major General Caesar of the Galactic Empire..."
Subtle discussions gradually sounded around, many people turned their heads to look at them, and many people's eyes began to light up: Caesar or Gu Qingxuan, no matter which one they catch, their family will have a bright future !
Gu Qingxuan stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Hi, I'm Gu Qingxuan, I think you already know me?"
"Yes, I think we already know each other." Caesar's heart was finally relieved, he plucked up the courage, and stretched out his hand to Gu Qingxuan: "Maybe we can go outside? The air here is a bit too stuffy gone."
Gu Qingxuan stared at his hand, he didn't reach out as he expected, but took two steps forward.
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
He replied.
So they went out together, probably to make the banquet perfect. The garden outside the presidential mansion also had beautiful tables, chairs, food and drinks. Amid the rich fragrance and the faint aroma of food, the atmosphere between them once again fell into that familiar silence without words.
Gu Qingxuan didn't want to talk, he promised Caesar to come out for a walk, purely because he wanted to stay away from the families who were waiting for the blind date, but Caesar...he once again forgot his words to live up to everyone's expectations.
His clever, brave brain, which ranks among the best in the Galactic Empire and even in the entire universe, seems to have completely stopped functioning in front of Gu Qingxuan, as stiff as cement or wood.Obviously after the last embarrassment, he has privately crammed a lot of books that teach people how to fall in love, but his talent of never forgetting seems to be effective only in other places, as long as Gu Qingxuan Appearing within his line of sight, he immediately forgot all those carefully crafted sweet words, and only Gu Qingxuan was left in his world instantly: his every move, every frown and smile.
Electric sparks started buzzing at Caesar's feet again. Hearing the sound, Gu Qingxuan gave him a strange look, which almost made Caesar's heart stop beating in fright: Fortunately, the electric sparks were there because He was so nervous at this moment that he stopped venting out. Congratulations, congratulations, he kept his last bit of dignity and bottom line(?).
"How are you?"
In order not to let the atmosphere go on in such an endless awkward silence, Caesar asked Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan said "um", and replied "very good", then Caesar didn't know what to talk about now... ...Fortunately, Gu Qingxuan showed mercy and asked him back before he was driven to death by his own embarrassment and boredom: "What about you?"
I?Caesar thought with great joy: He asked me!I can take this opportunity to introduce myself to him!
However, the next moment he realized that the things he was busy with in the Yinhui Republic recently were top secret, and he couldn't talk about them at all, and besides these busy things, he didn't seem to have anything else to bring Chatting... So at the end, although he knew that saying this sentence would cause another embarrassment, Caesar could only simply say: "I'm fine too."
"Well, that's pretty good." Gu Qingxuan nodded, and as expected, the air between them was once again filled with speechless silence.
... If this continues, falling in love can only be done in a dream!
Caesar thought sadly: Why does Lawrence always have countless topics to talk about in front of those girls, but he can't even talk about a complete topic in front of Gu Qingxuan...
Although his heart was already filled with all kinds of sorrow, his expression was still a habitual iceberg, so Gu Qingxuan didn't even notice his embarrassment, and thought that he just didn't want to talk too much like himself.
This is very good, Gu Qingxuan thought, recalling the shining eyes of those people in the banquet hall looking at Caesar, he felt a little bit of sympathy for him, and the bad feeling towards him before was suddenly diluted .
However, the two of them walked without anything to say in this ambiguous evening breeze. After a long walk, they really looked quite silly. Gu Qingxuan looked around, and then casually pointed to a table: "Go and sit down?"
"Okay." Caesar breathed a sigh of relief.Now he doesn't have to worry that Gu Qingxuan will go back in a few minutes, since he is going to sit down, he will definitely not return to the banquet hall for a while.
The two walked towards the table.The table is not big, it is for two people, and there are even some green branches and leaves wrapped around the white wooden chair. Caesar first opened the seat for Gu Qingxuan, smiled at Gu Qingxuan's slightly surprised eyes, and watched him sit. After getting off, he sat down on another chair.
"Want to eat something?" Caesar noticed the buffet on the side, Gu Qingxuan shook his head when he heard it, he didn't have much taste for food itself.But looking at his slender wrist, Caesar still insisted on bringing him some food. He put the carefully arranged food in front of Gu Qingxuan, and said to him: "Let's eat a little, the banquet tonight is estimated It's going to be late, there's going to be a dance...we won't have time to go back to dinner."
He quietly used "we" here, and was secretly pleased because Gu Qingxuan did not refute.
There is nothing to say about the food itself, it is the desserts that are usually found in buffets, and there are a few thick slices of steak, beautiful cream cakes dotted with cherries, and the steaks are poured with various sauces.Gu Qingxuan frowned and stared at the food for a long time, and finally realized with reluctance that his body has not yet cultivated much, and he can't do bigu, and he still has to eat when it's time to eat.
It's really not enough to live on the soul alone... It's annoying to always need to eat.
While thinking about it, he took the plate helplessly, and casually said to Caesar, "Thank you."
—He said thank you to me!
Caesar was so elated!
He was extremely glad that Lawrence was not by his side now, and no one would be a pig teammate to tear him down. With this precious thank you, Caesar stood up energetically: "Do you want to drink something more?"
He asked Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan thought that since he had already started to eat, it was natural for him to drink something, and after thinking about it, he said: "...tea?"
There was no tea at the dinner party at the Presidential Palace. Caesar walked around and finally came back with a cup of milk. He put the cup of milk in front of Gu Qingxuan. Gu Qingxuan immediately smelled the warm and sweet honey smell. This cup of milk ...it's still hot.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Qingxuan smiled at him, Caesar also smiled nervously, he stared at Gu Qingxuan until Gu Qingxuan took a bite of food without showing any displeasure. Quietly relaxed, then got up and said, "I'm going to get something too."
He said "take a little", but when he came back, Gu Qingxuan almost suspected that he had been hit by an illusion... Caesar actually came back with six big plates of food!And I brought two bottles of wine along with it!
"...Your appetite is so good." He said sincerely, Caesar's heart tightened, and two thoughts popped up in his mind at the same time, one was the joy of "he actually took the initiative to talk to me!", and the other was "" I took too much this time" panicked, and then he really wanted to hit himself... He ate when he ate with his crush.It must be regarded as a pig!Who would like a guy who eats more than everyone else!
However, since the food has been brought, it would be very embarrassing to put it back now, and it would be too obvious. Caesar had no choice but to bite the bullet and start eating. At the same time, he was thankful that his dining etiquette was strictly trained. Although he ate a little more, he ate at the right time. It shouldn't be ugly... right?
While eating carefully, he watched Gu Qingxuan quietly, a little disappointed and a little fortunate to find that Gu Qingxuan obviously just sighed casually just now, and didn't intend to watch him eat the whole meal.
Originally, he could eat whatever he wanted, so what did it matter to Gu Qingxuan?The idea that Gu Qingxuan would watch him eat was purely overthinking.
After a while or so, Gu Qingxuan put down the knife and fork when he was almost done eating. He is not very used to it, but obviously he has no choice now.
He picked up the glass of milk and sniffed it, then frowned: it was too sweet.
Gu Qingxuan doesn't like things that are too sweet. He ate a few more bites of the steak before, and barely touched the dessert. It seems that there is too much honey in the milk...
Seeing that Caesar was still eating, he felt embarrassed if he didn't do anything, so Gu Qingxuan stood up and planned to get a drink.Almost at the same time as he stood up, Caesar also swallowed the food in his mouth, got up and said, "Do you want to eat something? Let me get it for you?"
"No, I'm just going to see for myself." Gu Qingxuan stopped him, and walked to the side of the buffet table.
The dining table was covered with a long white tablecloth, and its carved legs were similarly wrapped with green branches, and a faint hazy white light lingered around the table, keeping the food on the table warm.When Gu Qingxuan stretched his hand in, he didn't feel any difference in the temperature inside and outside, but there was a bit of aura fluctuations. He looked at the dining table with interest, and found that there were shallow imprints on the table under the white tablecloth. Yes, it's just filled with materials of the same color, it doesn't look much different, and it's as exquisite as a pattern, but Gu Qingxuan can tell at a glance that this is a relatively simple formation.
Gu Qingxuan turned around twice, and found four grooves inlaid with energy stones on the four corners of the dining table.
This roughly means that in this world, energy stones are a substitute for crystals?
Gu Qingxuan took a closer look at the fuzzy formation marks on the table, and regretfully found that he could not see its whole picture clearly because of the blocking of the dinner plate. Thinking that Caesar was still waiting there, he casually took a cup and looked at it. Very nice colorful drinks to go back and sit down at the table again.
As soon as Caesar saw the glass of drink he was holding, his brows immediately frowned.
"Are you an adult?" He asked Gu Qingxuan: "The cosmic convention stipulates that people under the age of 16 cannot drink alcohol..."
"I'm seventeen." Gu Qingxuan nodded to him, then looked at the liquid in the glass: "Is this wine?" He shook it, looking extremely curious.
Caesar: ...
I don't know what it is, why do you want to take it!Is it because he is good looking?
After Caesar realized this possibility, he immediately lifted his spirits: He felt that he was pretty good-looking. If Gu Qingxuan took a glass of wine because the wine was good-looking, wouldn't his future still have great hope!
After thinking about it this way, Caesar immediately liked the glass of wine a lot.
"This is a kind of cocktail. Its name is probably Rainbow under the Moon or something. Many layers of wine have this name... This glass should be well mixed. The two layers should be fruit juice. Among the other five layers, each layer The color is a different kind of wine." He carefully identified the color of each layer of wine: "Like this, it's probably Bernard champagne, Bonnard red wine, Corridian ice wine..."
He counted layer by layer, but before he finished counting, Gu Qingxuan raised his wine glass, raised his neck and drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp.
Not a single drop remains in the thin tall cocktail glass.
"It's not good." Gu Qingxuan frowned, and put the empty glass aside. Caesar was silent for a moment, and put the glass of milk in front of him, persuading him: "This wine is very strong, Bai Na Champagne, Corridian ice wine, and the lower layer of Emerald Dragon are all strong wines... drink a little milk, although there is fruit juice in it, you will still get drunk after drinking such a strong wine."
Gu Qingxuan looked at the cup of milk with a sweet aroma, and refused: "I don't drink sweet."
After hearing this, Caesar didn't say anything, and immediately changed to a cup of pure milk without honey. Gu Qingxuan was still reluctant, but he still drank it slowly.
Now the blind date meeting in the banquet hall has probably come to an end, and there are more people in the garden in twos and threes, either walking or eating, waiting for the dance that will start later.There were no people around Caesar and Gu Qingxuan, but this was not a coincidence, but because Lawrence and a group of Caesar's subordinates had also come outside, and they were scattered around Caesar and Gu Qingxuan, intentionally or not To prevent others from coming this way.
It was just time to get a glass of milk, the colorful and strong cocktail had already begun to exert its power, Gu Qingxuan was drinking the milk, but his cheeks were already slightly red, reflected in the light so beautifully that Caesar was almost scared Forgot to breathe.
Gu Qingxuan's skin is very fair, Caesar knew it early on, but he never thought that after such a fair skin with a little blush, he could look so ecstatic.
With a state of fascination and joy, Caesar carefully watched him, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Gu Qingxuan's eyes were simply beautiful, their color was pure black, and after drinking, there was a bit of a hazy smell, and they were so moist that they could almost drip water.He was still drinking milk, the cup blocked his lips, but his slender fingers rested on the cup, his complexion was as radiant as
Gu Congzhang, the patriarch who made every effort to carry forward the Gu family from its humble beginnings, died unexpectedly. Gu Chen, who was favored by everyone, disappeared mysteriously. Fifth Young Master Gu Yang presented evidence, accusing him of being the one who caused Gu Chen's disappearance.
The Gu family fell into chaos. For the position of the head of the Gu family, Gu Congzhang's remaining sons tore each other to pieces, losing all face, and almost wanting to beat everyone's heads out of their heads.
But in this smoky chaos, the little transparent Gu Yuan, who was not noticed at first, took the opportunity to take the position, and held all the power of the Gu family in his hands before everyone could react.The Gu Family Guard, the Gu Family Consortium, and all the key departments of the Gu Family surrendered to him unconsciously.
No one knows how he did it, but he did it, and soon with these powers, he became the new head of the Gu family.
Of course Gu Congzhang's other sons would object, but unfortunately their objection was of no use at this moment, instead it gave Gu Yuan a handle.Not long after, the three of Gu Yang, Gu Ya, and Gu Hai were loaded into a ship, and sailed to a distant starry sky millions of light-years away under the pretext of "going out to relax": that old-fashioned interstellar spacecraft The junk of the hour is still unable to perform interstellar jumps, that is to say, when the three finally reach the destination of "relaxing", it will be tens of thousands of years later.
Tens of thousands of years from now, not to mention Gu Yang and the others, even the interstellar spaceship itself may have already been turned into ashes. The so-called "relaxation" is just a nice-sounding excuse, but it is actually a sentence of indefinite exile.
By the time the interstellar spaceship carrying three people unfortunately encountered a meteorite rain and was completely annihilated in the universe, it was already three or four months later. The exquisite invitations for the presidential palace dinner were sent from the A1 area and arrived in the hands of each guest one after another. , the three of them have just been sent on this journey that is destined to never return.
The night in District A1 is not as bustling as District A3.
Or because of the strong political attributes, the overall impression of the A1 area is grand and solemn. Even the lights at night are only plain and simple white, without the dazzling colorful colors of the A3 area.
The street is also full of traffic, or even more bustling: Originally, the traffic in District A1 was not as high as that in District A3, but tonight is obviously a special time.The annual presidential palace dinner is about to be held, and almost all the top powers in Yinhui gather here. Luxuriously decorated top luxury cars and ordinary black cars with simple appearance are mixed together, and they are crowded near the presidential palace. parking space.
The current president and his wife are waiting at the entrance of the mansion with smiles on their faces, greeting and greeting the new guests one by one. Their beautiful 22-year-old unmarried daughter is also following them, greeting the guests skillfully and gracefully. children say hello.
In previous years' banquets at the presidential palace, the children of the president and his wife usually did not attend, and the guests rarely brought their own children. However, this year's dinner was obviously very special.Not only did most of the guests bring their own children, but most of them brought daughters, and a few also had sons, but they were all teenagers who had not yet grown up, and some of them looked even more beautiful than young girls.
President Benjamin finally couldn't help saying to his wife during the interval between greeting two waves of guests: "I think some people are simply going too far. Look at that child, it's definitely not yet full...the legal age of marriage is ruled by them." I forgot all about it!"
"My dear, I think you should be familiar with this set..." His wife Caroline's smile remained unchanged, and the movement of her lips was almost undetectable: "And you know, they can get engaged first. "
"...Yes, engaged." Mr. President reluctantly admitted this, and quickly walked forward, laughing loudly to welcome the next guest who arrived at the mansion: "Lin Hua! Ah, and your beautiful Madam and children! It's been a long time no see... Yes, I miss you very much, too."
They shook hands vigorously, and the expressions on their faces looked extremely sincere, as if the other party was their eight worshiped brothers.However, after the guest entered the mansion, Mr. President said to his wife disapprovingly: "They brought a son."
"Who knows the major general's taste? Maybe he will like it?" Caroline shrugged, and her daughter Joanna stuck out her tongue quickly behind her: "Mom!" She said with some condemnation, Kao Lorraine smiled softly: "Oh, sorry, baby... I think he likes women. Otherwise, there are so many men in the military camp, why doesn't he have a partner yet?"
She and the President met each other's eyes, and they both laughed softly, and their daughter rolled her eyes: "For God's sake, Dad, Mom, now we have guests again!"
The president immediately turned his head away, and was about to greet the visitor with a big laugh again, but when he saw the other person, he was stunned.
He didn't know this handsome young man.
"The new head of the Gu family." Caroline reminded him calmly, the president immediately reacted, stepped forward two steps quickly, greeted Gu Yuan with affection and sincerity, and sent him into the mansion before turning around Come on, muttering to his wife: "He looks almost as old as Joanna...and he didn't bring anyone, he doesn't intend to marry himself to that major general, does he?"
"Maybe? Who knows, the Gu family can't do anything..." Before Caroline finished speaking, she was interrupted by another group of guests.The president's family went up to greet them again, and after exchanging skilled and warm greetings, when they looked up to see the next batch of guests entering through the door, President Benjamin finally showed the most genuine smile of the day.
"Marshal." He strode over and shook hands with Charles Grantham, the former Marshal of the Silver Hui Republic. Grantham shook his head with a smile and replied, "I am the principal."
"Yes, you are the principal, but in my heart, you will always be my old superior!" The president straightened up and saluted a standard military salute. Grantham said helplessly, "We are now They're not soldiers anymore, Benjamin..."
"Yes, I know, Principal." The smile on the president's face became a little lost. He put down his hand and looked behind Grantham: "Your students this year?"
His eyes swept over several young students one by one, and he was stunned when he saw one of them, and asked Grantham with some understanding: "...Is that one..."
"Gu Qingxuan." Grantham's smile remained the same, and the corners of his mouth were still reserved, but he couldn't help but look at Gu Qingxuan with a sense of complacency.The president immediately praised in cooperation, and went forward to greet the students one by one. It took a little longer to greet Gu Qingxuan, but it was not obvious, at least it did not make other students feel that they were left out.
"He's really the most beautiful kid I've ever seen... If I hadn't seen his photo, I really couldn't believe that he was that super S-rank superhuman."
After sending Grantham away, Mr. President whispered to his wife that he thought he would be stared at by his wife and daughter, and he also said "the most beautiful one should be my/our daughter". With a look of approval, Caroline even said to him: "I think Congress needs to add a law about the marriage of supernatural beings..."
After being stunned for a moment, President Benjamin immediately realized something, and his expression became serious.
"I think you are right, we should establish such a law." He looked at the crowded banquet hall behind him: "Although we have been preparing for today for a long time, I suddenly hope that the major general will not come to the dinner... "
Under his gaze, there was a moment of silence in the banquet hall, and Caroline raised her eyebrows: "He went in."
The president let out a deep breath and said with a ten-thousandth hope: "You think we are going to ask Joanna to take him elsewhere now..."
"Joanna will be eaten alive by the sons and daughters of those people."
Caroline spoke concisely, and the president sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you're right." He turned around and murmured amidst the clamor that suddenly erupted ten times in the banquet hall: "I Sincerely, very sincerely hope that the car that the major general is riding in today is out of order, traffic jams halfway, the road collapses, and the light track is broken..."
It's a pity that the president's ability is not "crow's mouth", so none of what he said could be realized. Caesar very smoothly - and too smoothly - arrived on time 10 minutes before the start of the banquet.
Of course, Lawrence was with him. After the two got out of the car, they were a little dazed looking at the extraordinarily noisy presidential palace.
"...The party here is really... lively." Lawrence said in a complicated tone, and Caesar's eyebrows frowned slightly.He didn't like this overly noisy environment, but he just stood there staring at the presidential palace for a moment, then said to Lawrence: "I have to go in, are you waiting for me outside?"
"No, I'll accompany you." Lawrence looked like he would risk his life to accompany a gentleman, but Caesar was indifferent to his tragic expression, and only said lightly: "Don't pick up girls on this occasion."
Lawrence: ...
"To be honest, when the word pick-up comes out of your mouth, it always makes me feel very horrified."
The two of them quickened their pace and walked forward, and several of Caesar's subordinates followed behind them.Except for Lawrence, who has no military rank, everyone is wearing a straight military uniform, with the rank badge of the Galactic Empire shining on it.
Lawrence said to Caesar while walking: "But speaking of picking up girls, how is that beauty doing now? You don't seem to be doing anything lately? Don't tell me you have given up?"
"I came here to complete the task." Caesar whispered, his subordinates had already slowed down with winks, and the distance from them was at least eight feet away.Therefore, their conversation was not heard by others, but Caesar still glanced behind him with warning, before answering Caesar: "Before things make progress, if I indulge in chores..."
"Your Majesty will kill you." Lawrence said immediately, but after thinking about it, he overturned his own words: "No, your surname is Amersfield after all. I don't think His Majesty will kill you, but he will kill you. You're distracted..."
"Yes."
The two exchanged a look, and Lawrence tapped his forehead: "Actually, I want to say that His Majesty may not be able to kill him...I met him a few days ago, and I was doing a good deed bravely..."
After receiving Caesar's suspicious eyes, Lawrence choked and said unbearably: "I really know how to do good things!"
"Yes, of course you will." Caesar's tone was not perfunctory, but it made Lawrence give up the idea of continuing to chat in an instant.He stood in front of the Yinhui Presidential Palace and sighed: "Did you know? It just occurred to me that Yinhui College seems to have candidates for the dinner."
Caesar, who was striding forward, immediately paused when he heard this.Lawrence seized the time and sighed leisurely: "If he is also included in this dinner, then many things can become more logical, and today's dinner will definitely not be very difficult..."
As he spoke, he peeked at Caesar's face, and was very relieved to find that his friend's expression had become a little uglier than before.
Well, the revenge was successful.
Lawrence chuckled and patted his brother on the shoulder: "But now the dinner party is about to start, it must be too late to say these things. Let's go, we'd better go in first, the time is almost up, we can't let Mr. President of Yinhui Waiting too long with the other nobles."
Caesar let out a breath slowly, and before the subordinates who followed behind arrived, his expression had returned to calm.
"Yes, you are right." He said, and soon stepped into the gate of the presidential palace with Lawrence.
When they entered the mansion, the president and his wife were still waiting at the door. He didn't know if it was Caesar's illusion. He always felt that the moment he saw himself and Lawrence, a trace of disappointment flashed across the face of the president very quickly.
"You are here!" President Benjamin quickly recovered his mood, smiled brightly as always, and shook hands with Caesar Lawrence politely and reservedly. He personally led the two into the noisy banquet hall : "Yinhui domestically holds such a banquet every year... It's a great honor for you to be able to participate today..."
After the initial greeting, it's all polite clichés.Lawrence walked two steps behind him, and suddenly found that the president was leading them to a corner with few people. He felt very satisfied at once. After the president left, he poked Caesar: "This president is quite winking. What? I thought he was going to take us to the center of the crowd."
"That's the president of the Yinhui Republic, who has the same status as His Majesty, so be more careful with your words." Caesar glanced at him, and Lawrence immediately said obediently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, but it's really strange , I thought you would be overwhelmed by those girls... just like every banquet before..."
As he said this, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced in the direction of the crowds, and then became dumbfounded.
"My God, it's him—it's Gu Qingxuan—look, isn't that over there?"
Lawrence pointed to the center of the crowd, and Caesar looked in the direction he pointed, and it took almost half a second to recognize it: the person surrounded by the crowded crowd in the center was indeed Gu Qingxuan!
Caesar's mouth was tight, he stared at the crowd for a while, and suddenly walked towards Gu Qingxuan without saying a word.
"Hey, wait a minute, someone is coming here..." Lawrence said hurriedly behind him. Several sharp-eyed couples had noticed the president's movements and were walking towards them with their daughters. The target was undoubtedly Caesar, who knew that Caesar would leave just like that!
"You deal with it." Caesar said without hesitation, and he didn't even slow down his pace.Lawrence stared at his back, and tried his best to suppress the urge to roll his eyes: "Okay, okay, who told me that you and I are brothers..."
He muttered, raised a smiling face, and greeted the crowd without hesitation: "Hi sir, hello madam..."
When Caesar walked all the way through the crowd, Gu Qingxuan didn't notice him.
Frankly speaking, no one noticed him at this time.The atmosphere of the banquet at the Presidential Palace was very good, the surrounding decorations were bright and beautiful, and all kinds of decorative food were also fragrant. Drinks of various colors were served in shining glasses, and the guests in various dresses were also full of enthusiasm...
But maybe, a little too enthusiastically.
"Hi, please allow me to introduce myself..." Just as the previous guest in front of Gu Qingxuan walked away, the next guest who was waiting beside him impatiently walked towards him.It was an elegant, but slightly bald gentleman. Behind him was his slightly fat wife with fair hair, and on the left was his daughter with the same fair hair who was at most about 17 years old.
Gu Qingxuan greeted him politely, exchanged greetings with him, and learned that he was Mr. Spencer, Will Spencer, and beside him were his wife and daughter: Mrs. Spencer and Miss Spencer.While talking to Gu Qingxuan gently, Mr. Spencer quietly showed the strength of his family.
"...You know, the Spencer family is one of the oldest families in Yinhui. In the history of our family, there have been more than one supernatural beings. Their life experience and information are of course stored..."
"...My daughter, Winnie, is only 17 years old, but she has already awakened a B+ level ability, and she has a very special language..."
While they were talking, Winnie Spencer—the daughter of Mr. Spencer—was standing next to Gu Qingxuan, smiling bravely and shyly, and there was a group of people waiting to greet Gu Qingxuan not far behind her people.Although they just seemed to be waiting leisurely, they did not line up in a long queue or form a row of walls, and they were still chatting with each other, after being baptized by the previous guests, Gu Qingxuan was fully aware of They are queuing up there, waiting to talk to themselves, to sell their family and daughter...
Oh, not all daughters, but several sons.
Gu Qingxuan finally realized that it was a mistake for him to attend the dinner party today: today's dinner party is not an ordinary dinner party at all, it is a large-scale blind date party!What is the so-called presidential dinner? The atmosphere of today's dinner has completely changed. Not far to his left, Gu Yuan is being dragged by a group of people, wanting to introduce his son and daughter to the new head of the Gu family. Grantham, who had a wife, was also besieged. Although not many people had the cheek to try to introduce their young daughters to him, but the widowed sisters and the like introduced him to more than a dozen.
It was because of their support that Gu Qingxuan felt that he was not too difficult to bear, and could still maintain a smile and chat with Mr. Spencer in front of him.
After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Spencer finally let him go, took his wife and daughter with a reserved smile, got up and left.But Gu Qingxuan was not at all relieved by their departure, because out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen that the group of chattering people beside him had stopped talking, and the family closest to Gu Qingxuan gracefully He stood up, ready to fill in the space left by the Shi Binke family after they left.
But fortunately, before the next family member had time to walk up to him and introduce themselves, Caesar had already swept through the entire hall like a gust of wind, and walked directly in front of him.
"Hi, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Caesar, Caesar Amersfeld."
He stood in front of Gu Qingxuan, and said the words he had practiced thousands of times, the family behind him didn't expect that he would be cut off suddenly, and suddenly stopped at a loss.
"Amosfield..."
"It's that Caesar, Major General Caesar of the Galactic Empire..."
Subtle discussions gradually sounded around, many people turned their heads to look at them, and many people's eyes began to light up: Caesar or Gu Qingxuan, no matter which one they catch, their family will have a bright future !
Gu Qingxuan stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Hi, I'm Gu Qingxuan, I think you already know me?"
"Yes, I think we already know each other." Caesar's heart was finally relieved, he plucked up the courage, and stretched out his hand to Gu Qingxuan: "Maybe we can go outside? The air here is a bit too stuffy gone."
Gu Qingxuan stared at his hand, he didn't reach out as he expected, but took two steps forward.
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
He replied.
So they went out together, probably to make the banquet perfect. The garden outside the presidential mansion also had beautiful tables, chairs, food and drinks. Amid the rich fragrance and the faint aroma of food, the atmosphere between them once again fell into that familiar silence without words.
Gu Qingxuan didn't want to talk, he promised Caesar to come out for a walk, purely because he wanted to stay away from the families who were waiting for the blind date, but Caesar...he once again forgot his words to live up to everyone's expectations.
His clever, brave brain, which ranks among the best in the Galactic Empire and even in the entire universe, seems to have completely stopped functioning in front of Gu Qingxuan, as stiff as cement or wood.Obviously after the last embarrassment, he has privately crammed a lot of books that teach people how to fall in love, but his talent of never forgetting seems to be effective only in other places, as long as Gu Qingxuan Appearing within his line of sight, he immediately forgot all those carefully crafted sweet words, and only Gu Qingxuan was left in his world instantly: his every move, every frown and smile.
Electric sparks started buzzing at Caesar's feet again. Hearing the sound, Gu Qingxuan gave him a strange look, which almost made Caesar's heart stop beating in fright: Fortunately, the electric sparks were there because He was so nervous at this moment that he stopped venting out. Congratulations, congratulations, he kept his last bit of dignity and bottom line(?).
"How are you?"
In order not to let the atmosphere go on in such an endless awkward silence, Caesar asked Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan said "um", and replied "very good", then Caesar didn't know what to talk about now... ...Fortunately, Gu Qingxuan showed mercy and asked him back before he was driven to death by his own embarrassment and boredom: "What about you?"
I?Caesar thought with great joy: He asked me!I can take this opportunity to introduce myself to him!
However, the next moment he realized that the things he was busy with in the Yinhui Republic recently were top secret, and he couldn't talk about them at all, and besides these busy things, he didn't seem to have anything else to bring Chatting... So at the end, although he knew that saying this sentence would cause another embarrassment, Caesar could only simply say: "I'm fine too."
"Well, that's pretty good." Gu Qingxuan nodded, and as expected, the air between them was once again filled with speechless silence.
... If this continues, falling in love can only be done in a dream!
Caesar thought sadly: Why does Lawrence always have countless topics to talk about in front of those girls, but he can't even talk about a complete topic in front of Gu Qingxuan...
Although his heart was already filled with all kinds of sorrow, his expression was still a habitual iceberg, so Gu Qingxuan didn't even notice his embarrassment, and thought that he just didn't want to talk too much like himself.
This is very good, Gu Qingxuan thought, recalling the shining eyes of those people in the banquet hall looking at Caesar, he felt a little bit of sympathy for him, and the bad feeling towards him before was suddenly diluted .
However, the two of them walked without anything to say in this ambiguous evening breeze. After a long walk, they really looked quite silly. Gu Qingxuan looked around, and then casually pointed to a table: "Go and sit down?"
"Okay." Caesar breathed a sigh of relief.Now he doesn't have to worry that Gu Qingxuan will go back in a few minutes, since he is going to sit down, he will definitely not return to the banquet hall for a while.
The two walked towards the table.The table is not big, it is for two people, and there are even some green branches and leaves wrapped around the white wooden chair. Caesar first opened the seat for Gu Qingxuan, smiled at Gu Qingxuan's slightly surprised eyes, and watched him sit. After getting off, he sat down on another chair.
"Want to eat something?" Caesar noticed the buffet on the side, Gu Qingxuan shook his head when he heard it, he didn't have much taste for food itself.But looking at his slender wrist, Caesar still insisted on bringing him some food. He put the carefully arranged food in front of Gu Qingxuan, and said to him: "Let's eat a little, the banquet tonight is estimated It's going to be late, there's going to be a dance...we won't have time to go back to dinner."
He quietly used "we" here, and was secretly pleased because Gu Qingxuan did not refute.
There is nothing to say about the food itself, it is the desserts that are usually found in buffets, and there are a few thick slices of steak, beautiful cream cakes dotted with cherries, and the steaks are poured with various sauces.Gu Qingxuan frowned and stared at the food for a long time, and finally realized with reluctance that his body has not yet cultivated much, and he can't do bigu, and he still has to eat when it's time to eat.
It's really not enough to live on the soul alone... It's annoying to always need to eat.
While thinking about it, he took the plate helplessly, and casually said to Caesar, "Thank you."
—He said thank you to me!
Caesar was so elated!
He was extremely glad that Lawrence was not by his side now, and no one would be a pig teammate to tear him down. With this precious thank you, Caesar stood up energetically: "Do you want to drink something more?"
He asked Gu Qingxuan, Gu Qingxuan thought that since he had already started to eat, it was natural for him to drink something, and after thinking about it, he said: "...tea?"
There was no tea at the dinner party at the Presidential Palace. Caesar walked around and finally came back with a cup of milk. He put the cup of milk in front of Gu Qingxuan. Gu Qingxuan immediately smelled the warm and sweet honey smell. This cup of milk ...it's still hot.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Qingxuan smiled at him, Caesar also smiled nervously, he stared at Gu Qingxuan until Gu Qingxuan took a bite of food without showing any displeasure. Quietly relaxed, then got up and said, "I'm going to get something too."
He said "take a little", but when he came back, Gu Qingxuan almost suspected that he had been hit by an illusion... Caesar actually came back with six big plates of food!And I brought two bottles of wine along with it!
"...Your appetite is so good." He said sincerely, Caesar's heart tightened, and two thoughts popped up in his mind at the same time, one was the joy of "he actually took the initiative to talk to me!", and the other was "" I took too much this time" panicked, and then he really wanted to hit himself... He ate when he ate with his crush.It must be regarded as a pig!Who would like a guy who eats more than everyone else!
However, since the food has been brought, it would be very embarrassing to put it back now, and it would be too obvious. Caesar had no choice but to bite the bullet and start eating. At the same time, he was thankful that his dining etiquette was strictly trained. Although he ate a little more, he ate at the right time. It shouldn't be ugly... right?
While eating carefully, he watched Gu Qingxuan quietly, a little disappointed and a little fortunate to find that Gu Qingxuan obviously just sighed casually just now, and didn't intend to watch him eat the whole meal.
Originally, he could eat whatever he wanted, so what did it matter to Gu Qingxuan?The idea that Gu Qingxuan would watch him eat was purely overthinking.
After a while or so, Gu Qingxuan put down the knife and fork when he was almost done eating. He is not very used to it, but obviously he has no choice now.
He picked up the glass of milk and sniffed it, then frowned: it was too sweet.
Gu Qingxuan doesn't like things that are too sweet. He ate a few more bites of the steak before, and barely touched the dessert. It seems that there is too much honey in the milk...
Seeing that Caesar was still eating, he felt embarrassed if he didn't do anything, so Gu Qingxuan stood up and planned to get a drink.Almost at the same time as he stood up, Caesar also swallowed the food in his mouth, got up and said, "Do you want to eat something? Let me get it for you?"
"No, I'm just going to see for myself." Gu Qingxuan stopped him, and walked to the side of the buffet table.
The dining table was covered with a long white tablecloth, and its carved legs were similarly wrapped with green branches, and a faint hazy white light lingered around the table, keeping the food on the table warm.When Gu Qingxuan stretched his hand in, he didn't feel any difference in the temperature inside and outside, but there was a bit of aura fluctuations. He looked at the dining table with interest, and found that there were shallow imprints on the table under the white tablecloth. Yes, it's just filled with materials of the same color, it doesn't look much different, and it's as exquisite as a pattern, but Gu Qingxuan can tell at a glance that this is a relatively simple formation.
Gu Qingxuan turned around twice, and found four grooves inlaid with energy stones on the four corners of the dining table.
This roughly means that in this world, energy stones are a substitute for crystals?
Gu Qingxuan took a closer look at the fuzzy formation marks on the table, and regretfully found that he could not see its whole picture clearly because of the blocking of the dinner plate. Thinking that Caesar was still waiting there, he casually took a cup and looked at it. Very nice colorful drinks to go back and sit down at the table again.
As soon as Caesar saw the glass of drink he was holding, his brows immediately frowned.
"Are you an adult?" He asked Gu Qingxuan: "The cosmic convention stipulates that people under the age of 16 cannot drink alcohol..."
"I'm seventeen." Gu Qingxuan nodded to him, then looked at the liquid in the glass: "Is this wine?" He shook it, looking extremely curious.
Caesar: ...
I don't know what it is, why do you want to take it!Is it because he is good looking?
After Caesar realized this possibility, he immediately lifted his spirits: He felt that he was pretty good-looking. If Gu Qingxuan took a glass of wine because the wine was good-looking, wouldn't his future still have great hope!
After thinking about it this way, Caesar immediately liked the glass of wine a lot.
"This is a kind of cocktail. Its name is probably Rainbow under the Moon or something. Many layers of wine have this name... This glass should be well mixed. The two layers should be fruit juice. Among the other five layers, each layer The color is a different kind of wine." He carefully identified the color of each layer of wine: "Like this, it's probably Bernard champagne, Bonnard red wine, Corridian ice wine..."
He counted layer by layer, but before he finished counting, Gu Qingxuan raised his wine glass, raised his neck and drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp.
Not a single drop remains in the thin tall cocktail glass.
"It's not good." Gu Qingxuan frowned, and put the empty glass aside. Caesar was silent for a moment, and put the glass of milk in front of him, persuading him: "This wine is very strong, Bai Na Champagne, Corridian ice wine, and the lower layer of Emerald Dragon are all strong wines... drink a little milk, although there is fruit juice in it, you will still get drunk after drinking such a strong wine."
Gu Qingxuan looked at the cup of milk with a sweet aroma, and refused: "I don't drink sweet."
After hearing this, Caesar didn't say anything, and immediately changed to a cup of pure milk without honey. Gu Qingxuan was still reluctant, but he still drank it slowly.
Now the blind date meeting in the banquet hall has probably come to an end, and there are more people in the garden in twos and threes, either walking or eating, waiting for the dance that will start later.There were no people around Caesar and Gu Qingxuan, but this was not a coincidence, but because Lawrence and a group of Caesar's subordinates had also come outside, and they were scattered around Caesar and Gu Qingxuan, intentionally or not To prevent others from coming this way.
It was just time to get a glass of milk, the colorful and strong cocktail had already begun to exert its power, Gu Qingxuan was drinking the milk, but his cheeks were already slightly red, reflected in the light so beautifully that Caesar was almost scared Forgot to breathe.
Gu Qingxuan's skin is very fair, Caesar knew it early on, but he never thought that after such a fair skin with a little blush, he could look so ecstatic.
With a state of fascination and joy, Caesar carefully watched him, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Gu Qingxuan's eyes were simply beautiful, their color was pure black, and after drinking, there was a bit of a hazy smell, and they were so moist that they could almost drip water.He was still drinking milk, the cup blocked his lips, but his slender fingers rested on the cup, his complexion was as radiant as
