Chapter 69
◎ Jealous Touzi, scatter flowers, scatter flowers◎
The next evening, 6:50
A private pier
In the dark night, the dock was as bright as day, with more than a dozen headlights hanging in the air illuminating the road.
People came and went, all dressed in evening gowns. Those with partners held their partners' arms, while those walking alone walked gracefully, bags in hand. From time to time, they tossed their hair, exchanged greetings, and beamed with smiles. Everyone walked with a single goal, heading toward the massive ship at the end. The shadows on the ground, illuminated by the lights, gradually lengthened as they moved.
On one side of the road, in a dark corner, there was a girl hiding, also in an evening gown. Judging from her attire, it was obvious that she was here to attend the party. However, she did not walk towards the boat like the others. Instead, she stayed in the corner, looking out from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
In the dim light, you can see that the girl has a delicate oval face and small curly hair draped over her shoulders. The wind blows her hair to her chest. She is wearing a black, slightly tight evening dress that makes her figure look curvy. There are small diamonds on her chest, which flicker and emit reflections in the dark.
Mu'an Jiaxi stuck his head out to look outside again, then picked up his phone to check the time. He muttered to himself, "It's almost time, the boat is about to leave, why hasn't he come yet?"
In fact, she was also very conflicted. She wanted him to come, but also wanted him not to come.
Taking advantage of the break, she looked down to see if there was anything wrong with herself. Since today was a cocktail party on the ship, she dressed formally for the first time. She specially picked out an evening dress from the cupboard that the original owner had bought and was almost covered in dust, and put it on.
"Cough cough." Mu'an Jiaxi was looking down to check her clothes when suddenly a cough came from above. Her hands tightened and her eyes moved away from her body. The first thing that caught her eye was a pair of legs in black suit pants.
Following the line of sight upwards, I saw a complete and straight suit without a single wrinkle. Moving further up, I saw the Adam's apple, thin lips, that straight and upturned nose, purple-gray pupils, and golden bangs that were too long and blocked the eyes. It was that familiar face.
Those eyes looked at her with an unclear expression, and it was impossible to tell what was hidden in them.
The wheat-colored skin color does not look darker under the slight light.
She immediately smiled and said, "Well, here we are." He didn't say anything, just staring at her. She said, "Well, it's getting late, let's get on the boat quickly."
He moved, turned around, raised his hand to his chest, and said gently: "Hold my hand."
Mu An Jiaxi immediately rejected it subconsciously and said, "No need for this."
Amuro Toru turned around, his face full of helplessness, "We are together. If you don't hold my hand, you won't be very conspicuous in the crowd."
Mu'an Jiaxi also realized that they were attending a cocktail party, not shopping, and immediately took his hand awkwardly, and leaned close to him. Feeling the warmth coming from his body, her face unconsciously flushed.
Amuro Toru looked calm as he led her forward, turning his head slightly to look at someone who was about to bury his head in his chest like an ostrich.
Seeing her slightly blushing face again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he felt happy. The depression of the past few days disappeared in an instant.
He could see that she liked him and had feelings for him.
The two walked all the way to the front of the ship, handed the invitation to the person waiting on the side, and then got on board.
A few minutes after they got on, the boat started moving and gradually sailed towards the sea. They followed the crowd to the center of the hall, where the cocktail party was held.
Amuro Toru looked at someone who was still buried in his chest, intending to be an ostrich for the rest of his life, and said with unconscious fondness, "Do you want to be an ostrich for the rest of your life?"
Mu'an Jiaxi looked up quickly when he heard the voice and denied it: "No, no."
Amuro Toru said: "Okay, it's okay, I know."
She understood what he meant, and her heart gradually soured. She felt even more guilty and wanted to lower her head again, but before she could move, a pair of hands appeared on her forehead, stopping her. He said gently, "Are you playing the ostrich again? If others see you like this, they'll think I'm bullying you."
Mu'an Jiaxi raised his head and said with a smile: "How is that possible?"
Then, Amuro Toru brought her to the side, picked up the dessert and drink on the table and handed them to her, "Fill your stomach first."
The two were not in a hurry and did not complete the task immediately. Instead, they ate and drank to fill their stomachs first.
Toru Amuro knew Meian Jiaxi's personality very well and guessed that she had not eaten dinner, so he planned to feed her first and then get down to business.
As he expected, Muan Jiaxi had indeed not eaten dinner. She had originally planned to eat after the mission was over, but Amuro Toru pulled her aside to slack off first.
Faced with the delicious food, which was laid out on a long table, Mu'an Jiaxi had no power to resist at all. He didn't feel hungry at first, but his stomach started growling immediately. He quickly immersed himself in slacking off, holding a pastry in his left hand and a juice in his right hand, and was enjoying himself very much.
Toru Amuro was watching from the side, holding a wine glass in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.
Seeing that there was something on her face, he raised his hand without thinking and wiped the food residue from the corner of her mouth without using a tissue, saying, "It's all stained."
Mu'an Jiaxi was so distracted by his actions that he almost forgot to chew. He just stared at him with wide eyes, his expression changing from disbelief to a slightly pinkish blush. He smiled innocently twice, "Hehe, pay attention."
He seemed to have done these things before, but at that time Amuro Toru didn't confess his feelings, and she was half-witted and half-understood his feelings, so she didn't care. Now that the window paper between them has been broken, she is a little shy about his intimate actions.
When Toru Amuro saw her shy face, he pinched her face intentionally and said, "You're shy, hehe." with a doting tone.
This made Mu An Jiaxi's face turn even redder.
Without saying a word, he just quietly acted like an ostrich, biting the food in his hand in small bites. He looked very well-behaved and cute.
In an instant, Amuro Toru seemed to see her as a child, and for a moment, the bubbles in his heart could not stop welling up, and he couldn't help but rub her hair again. After moving his hand away, when it passed by her ear, he couldn't help but pinch her earlobe affectionately again, and his mood was inexplicably good.
He picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank the wine in it in one gulp.
He was in a good mood and teased Mu An Jiaxi until his face turned red all the way to his neck, just like a boiled egg, and it was hot.
The food in my mouth suddenly became complex, feeling both extremely sweet and salty.
He put it down and changed to another one. With the juice in his hand, he went back to eating and drinking. The fiery gaze next to him had not disappeared, and Mu An Jiaxi tried his best to pretend not to see it and continued to eat his own food.
Just as the two were enjoying this wonderful time, the appearance of a person broke the tranquility.
"Miss, may I ask your name?" A man appeared out of nowhere and came to chat with Mu'an Jiaxi.
He didn't know whether he didn't see it or did it on purpose, but there was such a big man standing next to Muan Jiaxi, and Amuro Toru, whose eyes were almost glued to her, ignored her.
Just come over and chat with me.
Before Muan Jiaxi could say anything, Amuro Toru's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he had already looked the man up and down several times. His face grew darker and darker, and if he had used a little more force, the wine glass in his hand would have been crushed by him.
She noticed the expression of Amuro Toru opposite her, and for some reason she swallowed guiltily and was about to refuse.
Amuro Toru came up first, pushed the man aside, and hugged An Jiaxi. He looked at him with disdain and said arrogantly, "No name, no name, but now you have a boyfriend."
Mu'an Jiaxi was caught off guard by his sudden embrace and lost his balance, falling directly into his arms. His face was hurt by his hard chest, but he didn't forget the man opposite him and smiled, "Sorry."
The man was met with disappointment and could only leave in embarrassment.
Mu'an Jiaxi saw him walk to the other side and chat up a girl who was well-dressed and pretty.
I don't know what the girl said, but he walked away dejectedly again. Then he stood in the middle of the hall, looking for something. It seemed that he had found his target again. He walked towards a woman in blue clothes. The two seemed to be having a good conversation, talking and laughing.
After seeing this, Mu'an Jiaxi understood that this was about casting a wide net.
As she was studying the man, she didn't notice the increasingly unhappy expression of the man above her head, nor did she realize how close they were now.
At first glance, I thought they were a couple.
Just as Mu An Jiaxi was fascinated by the scene, he suddenly felt a vibration in his chest, and then a cold voice came from above his head, "Is it beautiful?"
She quickly came to her senses and looked up at him. Amuro Toru also lowered his head. Their eyes met. Amuro Jiaxi smiled and said, "I just think that guy is quite interesting."
There was no emotion in his voice, and he said calmly, "Really?"
Mu'an Jiaxi seemed to be intrigued, chattering about what he had seen. "Look at that guy, he only chats with girls, and in just a short while he's already changed more than a dozen." He added with regret, "I thought I was so charming, but it turns out he just chats with girls whenever he sees them. Charisma has nothing to do with it."
Amuro Toru said: "Oh, you are quite sorry. Did I disturb your good thing just now? Do you want me to call him back and you can continue chatting?"
Mu'an Jiaxi seemed to have sensed his displeasure and immediately greeted him with a smile, "No, no, no."
Amuro Toru looked at the girl's clothes in his arms. They were so tight and exposed, revealing her arms and legs. Who was she showing them to? Thinking of this, his hand around her arm unconsciously tightened, and he looked at the girl's profile, but a strand of hair blocked his view.
He raised his hand and tucked the girl's hair behind her ears. Looking at her exposed little face, he smiled with satisfaction. Without reminding the girl, he let her lean on his arms for a while longer.
He ignored the gazes from all around him, as if his eyes only had room for the girl in his arms. He even forgot the purpose of coming here for a moment.
