Chapter 109: Nightmare Reappears (1)
The birthday banquet was still going on, but most of the guests were already drunk and many had already left. If Zhao Ziheng had not returned to the hall, Zhou Yan might have left long ago. He noticed that Zhao Ziheng's clothes were no longer the same as before. Although changing clothes was normal, it seemed to Zhou Yan that there was something else behind it. However, he still had no communication with Zhao Ziheng. Even though he was at such a banquet, he just drank as if no one was around.
The banquet that was enjoyable in the eyes of others was becoming more and more boring in the eyes of Zhao Ziheng. Since returning from the Holy Spirit Hall, Zhao Ziheng had been numbly communicating and drinking with the guests, as if he wanted to numb himself. This was also the reason why Zhou Yan continued to stay, because he was very curious about why Zhao Ziheng, who had left and returned, had gone against his usual behavior and lost his composure. However, Zhao Ziheng's performance was nothing special in the eyes of others, but the performance that a monarch should have.
After a long time, the banquet came to an end unknowingly. Most of the people who remained in the hall were already drowsy. Zhou Yan felt that he had reached his limit and was even numb. He finally put down his glass and asked Zhao Ziheng to say goodbye...
"Well, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. I hope Prince Jing won't mind."
Zhao Ziheng was surprisingly calm He had obviously drunk a lot of wine but he didn't look drunk at all.
"King Zhao is joking. With such fine wine and delicious food, if it weren't for some trivial matters, I would really like to stay and continue drinking."
"There are plenty of opportunities to drink. If Prince Jing is busy, I won't force him. Please."
"please!"
After saying goodbye briefly, Zhou Yan stood up and was about to leave . However, before he took a few steps, he was attracted by the people who were performing and could not move any further. He was completely unaware of the noise around him, and his eyes were completely fixed on the veiled person in the center of the dancers.
The dance before his eyes had begun without him noticing, and all those who were still awake were unconsciously attracted to it. Zhao Ziheng was just about to bring the full glass of wine to his lips when he noticed Zhou Yan was still standing there, and he was curious. However, when he followed Zhou Yan's line of sight and shifted his gaze to the place that made Zhou Yan stop, he froze...
The familiar figure among the dancers was dancing, so focused on the dance that no one could notice anything unusual, and the perfect, vivid and exquisite dance posture attracted many people who were not drunk. Zhou Yan stared blankly as Zhao Ziheng kept bringing the full glass of wine to his lips. Dongfang Yan, who had no idea of Zhao Ziheng's stiff movements and had been unhappy because of Dongfang Xiyuan's matter, followed Zhao Ziheng's gaze and fixed his eyes on him.
It is obviously a common dance music. Although it has different feelings when performed by different people, but when interpreted by that person, people can fully understand what is exquisite, what is perfect, and what is vivid. Her every move, every gesture deeply attracts the hearts of everyone who pays attention, making people forget the flow of time, and only that person's figure remains in their eyes; facing the sudden scene, people completely lose their ability to think. How many people can stay sober when immersed in that figure?
Zhao Ziheng was completely stunned when he saw that familiar figure appearing in front of him completely unexpectedly. That figure came too suddenly. He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. He forgot all thoughts and just fixed his eyes on that figure without blinking. Obviously, Zhou Yan was also very surprised by the appearance of that person. Although he was in a hurry, he had never thought that they would meet in this way, so his degree of surprise was no less than Zhao Ziheng.
Why did she appear here? Zhao Ziheng asked himself repeatedly.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the dancing person would occasionally look at Zhao Ziheng intentionally or unintentionally, but no one noticed, not even Zhou Yan. On the contrary, Zhou Yan was not only surprised at the appearance of that person, but also at his surprisingly calm reaction. So he kept thinking in his mind, why did that person appear and for what purpose did he appear in such an occasion?
While looking at that person, Zhou Yan would inadvertently think of a time when he seemed to have the same situation. Zhou Yan clearly remembered that it was not long after he found out that the person was still alive. Suddenly, Zhou Yan felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. Was he too sensitive? Or was it because of the same situation that had brought nightmares to that person? Zhou Yan did not think about it any more, because he remembered the purpose of that person's coming here.
How long had it been? When the song ended, Zhao Ziheng finally met that person's gaze, but that person only gave him a vague look without any meaning, and gradually moved away from his sight under the gaze of everyone who had not yet come to their senses. Facing that person's departing figure, Zhao Ziheng murmured that familiar name: "Shu'er——"
After seeing that person leave, Zhou Yan followed him out immediately without thinking, completely ignoring how Zhao Ziheng would react, because in his opinion, the appearance of that person worried him more than anything else; how many people in the room could understand or see through Zhao Ziheng or Zhou Yan's reactions?
