For the rest of my life

It snowed a few more times in the imperial city, and the market was bustling intermittently a few times, but it was still closed.This year's snow was extraordinarily heavy. At first, street sweepers took advantage of the gap to clean up the streets, but after sweeping the night before, there was a thick layer again the next day.After repeated several times, the new snow covered the old snow, and the pile became thicker and thicker.

The snow is cold every day, not to mention the slippery roads, and the New Year is approaching, and every household is busy preparing things for the New Year.The street was deserted and few people came.The entire imperial city was covered in white and covered in plain silver. It was not as beautiful as the human world that should be in the flames of war.

Lu Zhao sat up from the bed, looked out the window, changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Downstairs is already bustling with people moving goods and fabrics, tables of exquisite Chinese and Western pastries are set up, and the whole first floor is crowded with people.

Lu Zhao realized that today was New Year's Eve, and Bai Li hosted a banquet.

Lu Zhao didn't see Bai Li all day.

When the evening approached, Bai Li came back.At that time, Lu Zhao was dressing in the bedroom, and other members of Liu's class were also gathered in the room.There are a lot of people, but fortunately, this bedroom is big enough.Just as Lu Zhao finished painting his eyes and was about to apply lipstick with a lip brush, Bai Li entered the door.Everyone who was busy tidying up neatly stopped their work and said hello in unison.

"Hi, Master Bai."

Bai Li had no expression on his face, he raised his hand slightly as a response, and the people in the room started to do their own work again.From the beginning to the end, Lu Zhao didn't raise his eyelids.

Bai Li stood behind Lu Zhao without saying a word, quietly watching Lu Zhao in the mirror dressing up.Lu Zhao didn't greet Bai Li either, and after quietly tapping his lips, he began to draw his eyebrows.Different from the willow-leaf eyebrows of ordinary Danjiao, Yu Ji's eyebrows are like two unsheathed swords slanted on her forehead.Bai Li watched Lu Zhao use oil paint to hide the peaks of his eyebrows and change the shape of the original eyebrows.

Not long after, a handsome young man turned into a heroine with a bit of heroism.

Once the makeup on the face is finished, it's a bun.It didn't take long for Lu Zhao to put on and pull up the wig, skillfully like a woman.But when she was wearing an accessory, she got stuck, and the accessory should be inserted behind her head, but the bun on her head is too big, and other accessories have already been worn, so too much movement will definitely damage the whole.

Lu Zhao was in trouble for a while, and turned his head to look at the others.Everyone concentrated on doing their own things, and it seemed that no one could help him.

At this time, a hand stretched out from Lu Zhao's shoulder, it was Bai Li.Bai Li put his four fingers together and hooked it, motioning for Lu Zhao to hand him the hair ornament.Lu Zhao looked at Bai Li again, and put the hair ornament into his palm.It was a silver hairpin, the pointed end was yellower than other parts, it must have been used for a long time, and the hairpin felt a little heavy when he weighed it.

"Is this it?" Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao in the mirror and asked, and after getting an affirmative answer, he gently pushed the hairpin in.At the end, he adjusted the angle a bit, his eyes full of tenderness.

Lu Zhao looked at Bai Li's movements through the mirror, and his expression moved slightly.

Leaving aside the background of this world, if an uninformed person sees this scene, he may want to say a good word.This situation is more like an ordinary couple raising their eyebrows together.

The sound of car horns coming from downstairs broke the beautiful scenery.

Bai Li closed his eyes and said, "I'll go down and have a look," and hurried downstairs.Lu Zhao sighed slightly as he watched the tall figure gradually disappearing from the corner of his eye.

Downstairs, all kinds of cars were parked in front of the Bai mansion, Bai Li stood at the door and shook hands with the guests who entered the door one by one.The mansion is surrounded by visible and invisible guards, completely surrounding the Bai mansion.

After the guests entered the venue, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Garrison delivered a New Year's greeting, and then the master of ceremonies stood on the stage in the hall and announced: "The dance has officially begun."

Cheerful dance music played, and the figures on the dance floor overlapped; those who did not enter the dance floor either greeted each other politely, or joked with each other.

For a while, the Bai Mansion was as lively as a foreign market.

Holding a glass of red wine, Bai Li walked back and forth among the crowd...

The first round of dance was over, and the master of ceremonies invited everyone to turn to enjoy the Peking Opera rehearsed by Liu Jiaban.At this moment, the wired microphone on the stage made a piercing noise, and everyone subconsciously covered their ears.Suddenly, the mansion was dark.The crowd became agitated, and the guards quickly rushed into the room to maintain order.

After Bai Li got used to the darkness, he searched for Lu Zhao's figure in the crowd.The man was dressed in a costume and was easily recognizable.But his eyes went back and forth in the crowd several times, but he still couldn't find it.After repeated inspections, Bai Li was sure that Lu Zhao was not here.

So, where will he be?Bai Li felt his heart beat faster.

After the hall was bright again, Bai Li hurried upstairs with a group of people.With strong unease, he went straight to the door of the study and kicked the door open.Lu Zhao was standing in the middle of the study, his eyes fell on the painting, as if he was admiring it.Hearing the movement, he slowly turned to face Bai Li, still in a play costume.

"Why are you here?" Bai Li took a few steps forward, and the distance between his feet was larger than usual.

The thick color covered Lu Zhao's entire face, making it impossible to see his expression.

Lu Zhao said, "When I finished dressing up and was about to go downstairs, the lights went out, and I went astray." He met Bai Li's eyes, and there was no fluctuation in his dark eyes. "I heard the sound of neat footsteps again. I guessed that the guards had come in. I didn't dare to move because I was afraid of causing trouble. I didn't realize until the lights came on again that I had come here."

Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao quietly, and the air stopped flowing.In one side of the world, only the heartbeats of the two could be heard.

After a long silence, Bai Li waved away the crowd and walked downstairs, Lu Zhao followed quietly behind without saying a word.

A group of people stood in the hall, waiting for the guards to report the results. "Marshal, it has been checked. There is no trace of man-made damage to the power. It should be a sudden power failure caused by excessive power consumption."

Bai Li rubbed his chin, got up from the sofa, apologized to everyone in the lobby, and said: "Everyone, I invite you to come here today. I originally wanted to have a lively New Year together, but I didn't expect it to happen like this. What happened today It was me who was wrong about someone, and I will definitely make up for it in the future. Please don’t take it to heart, and apologize to everyone here, I’m sorry."

Everyone replied: "Bai Dashuai is polite."

After seeing off the last guest, the servants began to clean up the remaining stalls.There were only Bai Lu and Lu Zhao left in the lobby, Bai Li grabbed Lu Zhao's hand and dragged him upstairs.There was a sticky wet touch on the hand, and when I looked up, there was a small red spot on the fingertip, which was blood.He looked at Lu Zhao's hand again, and found that there was a wound on the second joint of Lu Zhao's ring finger. The wound was not deep, but it cut into a blood vessel and bled a little.The bloodstain was half dry, it must have been injured for a while.Bai Li carefully avoided Lu Zhao's wound and dragged him upstairs.
