Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 130 Water Color and Sky Light (I)
"Fingal von Frings, in service of His Excellency President Lionheart!" A 1.88-meter-tall German-born strongman stood in front of the door, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He was dressed in a suit and had waxed hair. There was a rose on his chest. He saluted with a cheerful face.
"Why is it you?" Chu Zihang asked. The surprise of seeing this guy suddenly appear in the hotel was no less than hearing that France had surrendered when he woke up in the morning.
"According to the requirements you put forward for Norma, she must be strong and witty. It is hard to find such a person in the entire executive department! But I can do it!" Finkel straightened his chest and shook his solid muscles. He was the kind of hidden strong man who could not be seen on weekdays. He always walked with his head down and his waist bent, looking wretched. Only when he straightened his chest, pulled in his abdomen, and raised his head could you feel his strength. With Chu Zihang's level, he would be called a skinny monkey when standing in front of him.
Chu Zihang thought, are you sure you are humorous and not shameless? These two people don't seem to have anything in common. Either Norma is a bug, or Finger is shamelessly trying to get closer to see Junior Sister in her wedding dress.
"Where's the wedding dress? Where's the wedding dress? I heard that S-level soldiers have to wear wedding dresses to perform missions. How can you monopolize such a good thing to yourself, senior brother? You have to share it with the people!" Finkel really began to try to bypass Chu Zihang, like a weasel trying to steal a chicken. However, Chu Zihang stood at the door of the room like a pine tree and refused to move, so he successfully kept him out.
"They are helping each other with their makeup." Chu Zihang said, "If you really want to see them, there will be plenty of opportunities when you go out. You will be paired with Xia Mi."
The task process is divided into two groups. Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei, Finger and Xia Mi, the four people will enter the venue separately, pretending not to know each other, and approach each other to introduce and dance after the dance begins, as a cover. The target of the runaway hybrid is only beautiful girls, the men don't need to worry about themselves, they just need to make sure that the girls they should protect will not be kidnapped under their noses, and anyone who approaches will be paid special attention.
When the ball begins, the entire opera house will be surrounded by the executive department, setting up a dense hunting network. They in the opera house only need to force the hybrid out to consider the mission a success.
Finkel blew a frivolous whistle and simply leaned against the door to whisper to Chu Zihang: "I say, Mr. President, at most, a man and a woman are alone in a room, but in your case, you have two girls hugging each other and living in the same room. It would not be good if the discipline committee knew about this, right?"
"The discipline committee member doesn't care about things outside of school. Secondly, we are forced to stay in the same room only because it is difficult to book enough rooms during the peak tourist season." Chu Zihang frowned slightly.
"Do I need to explain this? All men in the world can agree on this! If I had two soft and voluptuous girls by my side , I would also say sorry, there is only one room, how about we make do with each other, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa? I understand!" Finkel had a lewd look on his face, "I'm sure you look better in pajamas than in a dress during the day when you wake up late at night!"
The best way to deal with a gangster is not to talk to him. Chu Zihang simply kept his mouth shut, otherwise Finkel would use his rich history of paparazzi digging to put countless accusations of being a disrespectful president on Chu Zihang's head.
As the saying goes, those who share different ideals cannot work together.
An hour later, Pennsylvania Road Opera House.
This was once a gathering place for Chicago celebrities. Every night 60 years ago, this alley was crowded with luxury cars and girls in high-slit dresses. Polite gentlemen came here with their young female companions to enjoy elegant music, and waiters recited the names of distinguished guests aloud.
No place is glorious forever. No matter how wealthy a dynasty is, it will eventually collapse. Today's young people go to the cinema or shopping mall for dates. At worst, they can go to the aquarium or the popular love hotels. The opera house is a glory of the last era. No one will sit down and listen to those old and drowsy performances, just like young Chinese no longer regard Peking opera as a way to relieve boredom.
But today it woke up again, all kinds of high-end cars stopped at the door one by one, red taillights flashed one by one, heavy doors opened, men in black tuxedos got out, thick waxed hair shining. In other cars, velvet-gloved fingertips appeared, slender heels stepped on the ground, and a bride in white dress like a flower walked down.
When many people mention wedding dresses, they subconsciously think of long skirts that look like billowing brocade. Retro cheongsams, hunting suits, and even short skirt wedding dresses have also been very popular in modern weddings in recent years. This unique blind date is also a dance party, and no one would choose a long skirt that drags on the ground, unless you want to fall into the mud while dancing.
The organizer of this blind date dance party is very mysterious and never shows up. It is said that she is even a wealthy woman. When she was young, she was trapped in love and met many bad men. At one time, she no longer believed in love in the world. Until later, her friends took her to another dance party held in the community, where she met her true love of her life and fell in love happily until today.
So every year, this rich man would choose a suitable place in a big city across the United States, turn it into a gorgeous stage, and extend an olive branch to the young men and women around him, hoping that they would meet the person they were supposed to meet on a lucky day, just like he did in the past. This is probably a way of sharing luck. Some people have good intentions, so they are always treated well.
Lu Mingfei followed the waiter through the long corridor. The peacock feathers on the mask swayed like flowers. After a long period of darkness, golden light was cast from all directions.
The legendary rich man really spent a lot of money for this kind of casual activity. The original inclined opera house-style seating layout was completely flattened to become a vast ballroom. The surrounding pillars divided the entire space into four parts. The giant crystal chandeliers on the dome dispelled all the shadows. It was daytime, but the curtains that were longer than the walls were well preserved. After they fell, the whole world became a place isolated from the outside world. On the walls were medieval framed paintings that were found from somewhere, and they might be things from the original opera house that were preserved.
There is an entire band sitting behind the open curtain on the opera stage, and everyone has a mask on their face, just like when guests come in, they are given a mask that only covers the area around the eyes. It is said that this is to avoid letting the first impression of appearance become the criterion for choosing a spouse. Here, everyone cares more about the inner heart seen after communication.
The area closest to the stage became a place for drinks and rest, like a bar counter, where three waiters were busy. The arrangement of the seats was very interesting, each small seat was in pairs, and only two people could sit there, one side was blue and the other side was pink, the meaning was very clear.
It has to be said that this kind of place is a bit beyond Lu Mingfei's tolerance. So far, the only real ball she has attended was the one last year when Caesar invited her. These kinds of places, which are either social circles for the upper class or places of disputes for fun, are not her cup of tea. Standing here now, she feels a bit at a loss.
She subconsciously looked around, trying to find someone who could help her, but in places like this everyone was a masked player who didn't know each other. Before making eye contact, the first impression was that they were selecting the right person to chat up. If a girl acted at a loss when she came here, it would be difficult for such a novice player to be noticed.
During this time, she did notice Fingel... because this guy was so tall that he stood out from the crowd, and after putting on a Western-style suit, he looked like a husky. At this moment, he had already hooked up with Xia Mi. The girl in hunting suit walked briskly with a fox trot, and the two of them didn't notice Lu Mingfei at all. They were so immersed in their acting that they ran off to have a drink.
It is said that beautiful girls always meet their heroes when they are in trouble. Lu Mingfei wanted to find the person who should be standing by her side, but she didn't see Chu Zihang. It was all because of the simple taste of the senior brother. Everyone who came here wanted to make themselves the most handsome guy in the audience, but when the senior brother picked a dress, he just picked one from the wall. Now, it's like a fish entering the sea, and there are men in black suits everywhere. Under the blessing of the mask, he really can't be found.
All she could do was stand there and wait for her hero to come riding on a white horse.
"Are you lost, little kitty?" In Chicago, USA, Lu Mingfei heard a pure British accent. The voice was extremely sexy and melodious. Before she saw who it was, a pair of flaming red lips rushed into Lu Mingfei's mind. Perhaps only a beauty like Katrina Kaif could be so seductive.
Lu Mingfei turned her head and was suddenly stunned. She thought it would be a British girl, but although the person in front of her covered her eyes, her skin color and facial features showed that she was an Asian girl in her twenties. She was not as sexy as her voice under her gorgeous dress, but her face looked a bit pretty. It was really strange. Those who dare to show off themselves in a backless red dress on such a stage where many beauties compete for beauty must be people with overflowing self-confidence. This color is too eye-catching, and there are not many people who can suppress it. The huge hoop earrings show that this is a super social cow who will die if she doesn't show herself.
Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, the other party seemed to notice her nationality and asked in an uncertain tone: "Chinese? Japanese? North Korea or South Korea?"
Lu Mingfei was simply stunned, because every time the girl asked about a nationality, she would speak the language of that nationality. Lu Mingfei couldn't understand some of it at all, but she could feel that the taste was absolutely authentic. What kind of god-level figure is this? Is she a translation ambassador who is proficient in eight languages? Would a diplomat secretly come to a place like this to indulge himself?
"I am... a descendant of Yan and Huang!" The mouth started to open uncontrollably after being frightened. After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, she just wanted to slap herself twice. What kind of Chinese people would introduce themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang? Foreigners don't understand your culture. At least if you say "Chinese", people will know that Chinatown is in China!
The other party was stunned for a moment, then lightly covered his lips and laughed silently. It was like the feeling when you are walking on the street and suddenly see the person in front of you slip and fall into the mud. Lu Mingfei felt very embarrassed.
"What a coincidence! I am also a descendant of Yan and Huang." The girl smiled and used the same stupid steps as Lu Mingfei, instantly bringing the atmosphere back to normal. "Is this your first time here? You seem very nervous."
Lu Mingfei was so happy that someone wanted to chat with her, especially a girl who looked very easy to get along with, and a Chinese girl! Lu Mingfei was so moved that she almost burst into tears and rushed over to hug him.
"I am quite nervous... I haven't attended many dances before." Lu Mingfei whispered.
"Maybe he was forced out by his family?" the girl asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Mingfei quickly seized the opportunity to maintain her persona. To be able to come here, you need an invitation letter. To some extent, it is a recognition of financial strength and status. The people around her, including this girl, are not ordinary people. Lu Mingfei did not forget this and took the opportunity to package herself as a young lady who was forced to try a blind date. "I'm still so young, why should I get married? There are so many fun things in the world, and I haven't had enough fun yet! If I wake up every morning and see a man lying on me, I would rather jump off the cliffs of Portofino!"
Serious, coquettish, arrogant, Lu Mingfei sniffled and looked spoiled, and she really behaved like a spoiled young lady.
"What a coincidence, I don't like playing with men either." The girl's eyes lit up.
"Then why did you come to a place like this?" Lu Mingfei took advantage of the situation and instantly defined herself as a fellow prostitute at the dance, taking the opportunity to get closer to him. "Were you forced by your family?"
"No, I'm the only one in my family. I used to have an older sister, but our relationship was just average. We often quarreled. It wasn't until she died that I realized how stupid I was in the past." The girl's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a story that happened to another person. "It's always cold and lonely at home when there are no one around. Even with the heater on, I still feel the chill. So I like to go to a lively place to play. I don't have to do anything special, just stand far away and watch. If someone comes to see me, I'll play with them for a while."
Lu Mingfei thought to herself, no wonder you wear a red gauze dress. Although it represents a festive color, you are actually a sad person. Maybe you just use that dress as your armor? This way you can look like an eye-catching party darling, and someone will definitely be willing to share a little warmth, even if it's just for a while.
“My home is also quite lonely…” Perhaps it was because of the sad scene that Lu Mingfei felt a sense of empathy, because she also thought of her own home, “My parents ignored me when I was very young and left me at my relatives’ house. They took care of everything for me, and even coming here… was forced by them!”
Lu Mingfei simply carried out her character setting to the end, and took the blame for her uncle and aunt. Anyway, they would not come to Chicago, and they did not know what evil things Lu Mingfei had done behind their backs to discredit them. Just think of it as the uncle and aunt doing some contribution to their niece. In Lu Mingfei's character setting sitcom, the two are still rich people after all! Their status has been improved!
"It's hard to imagine meeting someone so similar to me in a place like this." The girl smiled faintly.
“Is it a bit of a pity that we met too late?” Lu Mingfei also smiled, and the nervousness disappeared unknowingly.
