As Su Ping listened to the man in front of her eloquently expressing his love for her, she yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
[Huluwa, if I don't choose one of them to dance the opening dance, will they still give up?]
[Yes, host, this is the NPC's turn in the story.]
Su Ping glanced around at the men and noticed that only one man wasn't looking at her with the same eagerness as the others; instead, he was sitting behind a pillar drinking alone.
This is clearly not an ordinary NPC.
Su Ping lifted her skirt and walked over, stopping in front of him.
"Come dance with me."
The man, dressed in a white suit, smiled upon hearing Su Ping's voice and looked up at her.
Through the mask, Su Ping felt a strange sense of familiarity with those eyes, but when she looked again, that feeling was gone.
"It is an honor."
The man's voice was low and mellow from the alcohol. After placing his glass on the table, he stood up and offered her a gesture of invitation to dance.
He was incredibly tall, and his every move resembled that of a prince from a fairy tale.
Looking at the hand extended in front of her, Su Ping placed her own hand on it.
Amidst the envious glances of the other men, the man in front of her gently took Su Ping's hand and led her to the center.
The lights suddenly dimmed, the music stopped, and a final, soft beam of light fell on the two of them.
Su Ping watched as the man stopped and stood face to face with her, taking her hand in one hand and placing it on his shoulder, while holding her hand in the other.
The music started playing again, faster and more joyful than before.
Dancing is out of the question, because she simply doesn't know how to dance.
Su Ping pretended to lose her balance in her high heels and fell to the side.
Just as she was about to pretend to twist her ankle, the man grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
A sudden pain shot through my ankle.
Thanks to that damned bastard, I really twisted my ankle this time!
Su Ping gasped in pain, and fine beads of sweat immediately seeped from her forehead.
Seeing her pale face, the man paused for a moment, then immediately picked her up and carried her to the rest area.
The incident happened so fast that before anyone else could react, Su Ping was placed on the sofa.
"Did you twist it?"
The man squatted down in front of Su Ping, and after taking off his black stilettos, he saw that her ankles were red on her fair skin.
Li Moyu looked worried and ran over from the other side, lifting her skirt.
"Pingping, are you alright?"
Before Su Ping could speak, she felt the man's somewhat cold hand grasp the back of her foot.
"There shouldn't be any bone damage. Applying ice when you get back should help."
After checking the mobility of the bones, the man looked up and said to Su Ping.
Seeing him squatting in front of her, Su Ping felt that familiar feeling return. What kind of face was behind those eyes?
The lights came back on, and the others, having lost their desire to dance, began to walk over.
After all, Su Ping is the main character tonight, and now that she's in trouble, the ball is meaningless.
The moment the two locked eyes was interpreted differently by others.
Why is it that this man, who did nothing, can win Miss Su's favor? What makes him so special?
“Miss Su, I think your injury this time is more like a scheme by someone than an accident.”
"Yes, some people may seem unassuming and unassuming on the surface, but they might be plotting against all of us."
Since no one knew each other at this masquerade ball, the others suddenly united and began attacking the man squatting in front of Su Ping.
They spoke with such conviction that it seemed quite plausible.
The man listened to their malicious speculations without saying a word, simply watching Su Ping silently, wanting to know her attitude.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama, but it turns out that when men get together, the women have nothing to do with it at all.
Listening to their incessant chatter, Su Ping felt like her head was about to explode.
"Quiet down, all of you! If you make another sound, I'll throw you all down there!"
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Everyone knows that Miss Su is a womanizer, her mood is unpredictable, and she has a terrible temper; there's nothing she wouldn't do.
After all, it's on her cruise ship. If you upset her, she might actually throw you overboard.
But she was also very unwilling, and could only glare fiercely at the man who could get close to her.
The man's lips curled up again when he heard Su Ping defend him.
The dance can't continue now, and Su Ping's choice for tonight has been made. No matter how envious others are, they can only watch helplessly as Su Ping has dinner with him tomorrow.
The man bent down and picked Su Ping up again. In his arms, Su Ping felt like a child, and her face flushed slightly.
This scene caught Li Moyu's eye, who assumed that she had taken a liking to this man. She stopped in her tracks and obediently went to the other side to enjoy the sea breeze.
The man carried Su Ping up to the second floor. With the sea breeze blowing, Su Ping suddenly became much more awake and quickly supported herself on his chest, signaling him to put her down in front of her.
Su Ping leaned against the door frame and looked up at him.
His hair was slightly disheveled by the sea breeze, and the rope tied behind his head to which he attached his mask fluttered in the wind.
Su Ping suddenly felt a little itchy, wanting to see what the face behind the mask looked like, and why it gave her a sense of familiarity.
Just as she reached out her hand, the man seemed to realize her intention and took a step back, avoiding her hand.
Su Ping was a little embarrassed and asked her to take a look at what was wrong!
"Get some rest tonight, I'll pick you up for dinner tomorrow."
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left. Even his movements as he descended the escalator were so elegant that it was hard not to suspect that he did it on purpose.
But what should we eat for dinner?
[Host, this is a rule set by the original owner: during these ten days at sea, you'll have a date with a man every night, and finally choose your ideal man as your marriage partner.]
Su Ping got excited when this was mentioned, and despite her sore feet, she took off her high heels and jumped into the room.
What day is it tonight?
Tonight is the last day.
Does that mean she's already dated nine men?
How is she supposed to choose someone who took over halfway through? She has no recollection of the other nine people at all.
[It's alright, host. Do you remember that man?]
Hearing your words is like hearing a lecture.
Su Ping wore a bitter expression. She regretted not being more assertive and jumping up to remove his mask earlier. What if he turned out to be an ugly monster tomorrow? She would have been at a disadvantage.
On the other side, after watching Shen Jiayu supervise the salvage operation at the bottom of the cliff for two days, Chen Qi, fearing that he wouldn't be able to endure it, secretly injected him with an injection when he wasn't paying attention.
