one step away [Interstellar]

28.

The beauty was so kind, and both Winnie and Nolan expressed their love for this lady, Xia Zuo couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Elvira with his two children.

Avella is a very sincere tour guide, but she took them to read your good works from beginning to end, and instilled a lot of knowledge in the two children during the process.

At noon, the two children, who were tired from shopping, looked at Xia Zuo eagerly and begged for food. Out of gratitude to today's guide, Xia Zuo took the initiative to invite Avilla to have a meal together.

Since it was his own invitation, Xia Zuo really didn't bother to ask if there was a better restaurant nearby, so he drove Elvira and the two children to Oak House.

Because the location was not reserved in advance, and today's flower show activities, the restaurant became more lively.Fortunately, Elvira was present, so there was no place left.

After taking the suit jacket brought by the waiter and putting it on, Xia Zuo and the two children sat together by the window with a wide view and good light.Xia Zuo said apologetically after he intimately motioned to Elvira who was on the opposite side to sit down, "Because I didn't prepare well in advance, please bear with me in this situation."

Elvira shook her head, "No matter where, I am very happy to have dinner with Your Excellency."

Xia Zuo felt a little embarrassed in the face of the unfamiliar lady whom he had met several times in childhood.She turned her head to look at the messenger on the side, and finally she focused her eyes on the menu, and said to the Omega lady in front of her, "Then let's order, what do you prefer?"

"Well... just like you." Avra ​​looked at her with a very happy smile on her face.

"Let's order less steak, avocado yogurt... two more glasses of Montreal, and two glasses of blueberry juice..." She simply ordered a few dishes, and after ordering the main food and dessert for the two children, she waited silently The waiter serves.

Winnie and Nolan, who had already been secretly told by the princess mother to be very active today, had already exhausted their desire to perform when they visited the exhibition hall just now, and now sat obediently beside Xia Zuo, watching her cut the steak into small pieces , waiting to be fed.

Handing the cut steak to the side of the two children with a fork, Xia Zuo still felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched them eat it in small bites.While feeding his younger sisters, Xia Zuo, who occasionally ate, was so busy that he didn't have a chance to communicate with Elvira who was opposite.

Elvira, who raised her head to look at Xia Zuo several times, never found a chance to speak, until the children said that the food was about the same and started to eat dessert, she said, "Is Your Excellency Xia Zuo still stationed in Sass?"

"Huh?" Xia Zuo, who was finally able to eat, raised his head, cut the steak in his hand, and put a piece into his mouth while forking, and responded, "No, I have been transferred to San Lorenzo, and now I am on family leave. , but it will be over soon. Where is the lady? I heard you just now, you are a member of the International Flower Show Committee? So... are you working for the San Lorenzo city government?"

Usually, in this type of exhibition, in addition to major business representatives, there are also some government personnel.According to Xia Zuo's observation, this lady should be a government employee.

"Yes...you really have sharp eyes." Elvira smiled, fiddled with the dessert in front of her a little shyly, "I am now the mayor's secretary general, and I have been back to San Lorenzo for three or four years."

Xia Zuo sighed, "It's really amazing."

"You're overrated." Elvira raised her eyes, looked at the female alpha in front of her, and said, "Speaking of which, I thought you wouldn't come here today, after all..."

"Huh?" What she said was unclear, which made Xia Zuo a little puzzled.

Elvira explained. "I sent you an invitation letter... but I think you may not come, because there are probably not many people interested in such a festival."

"Is that so?" Xia Zuo pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of the address on the invitation letter that He Bo showed her that day, and realized it belatedly.

"Yes... At the prince's wedding, I thought I could have a few words with you, but you left too fast." That night, as a member of the current queen's family, Elvira was naturally "Fee" Steve" is one of the lead dancers.She was always there, watching Xia Zuo and Ellen talking.

Xia Zuo's heart froze, and he heard the other party continue to say, "Do you have any impression? When I was on the dance floor that night, I was beside you and Marquis Ellen."

A very bad feeling came up from his back, and Xia Zuo even felt a little unsteady in his hand cutting the steak, "Sorry... I don't pay much attention to the surrounding situation..." Damn it, no wonder Ellen asked her if she had She was interested, and kept pushing her closer to the pair beside her, trying to hold the girl's hand during the interlude of exchanging partners.

She remembered now that the person in front of her was the girl with sapphire ears who was almost robbed of her dance partner by Ellen.It seems that Ellen seems to know something, and her mother's recent reaction is particularly positive...

Well, she already understood what kind of meeting this was.

For a moment, the person who could still maintain his calm became a little unnatural.

On the other hand, Omega combed her hair, and bit her lower lip in embarrassment, "Is that so. In fact, I... have always wanted to find a chance to chat with you, after all, the last time I was in SARS..."

"We met...in Sass?" Wait, according to Xia Zuo's impression, only before the split, they stayed in the palace for a summer vacation, and they never saw each other again.

Elvira smiled, a little helpless, "You are still the same as when you were a child, you don't care much about unimportant things. I have seen it... Five years ago, I went to SARS on a business trip and met with friends. You solved it." Yes, five years ago near the not-so-luxurious Saas Square, Elvira, who returned to the hotel late at night, was almost raped by a drunk alpha in the corridor, and met Xia Zuo and came to visit her on weekends Emily, who had successfully escaped a catastrophe.

The two alphas turned the drunk person to the police station together, and calmed her down very intimately.Obviously, when they met again, Xia Zuo didn't remember that the woman in front of him who dyed her hair red was his partner who had spent a summer vacation with him when he was a child.

As for Avilla, she also realized Xia Zuo's identity belatedly, so that she never forgot it afterwards.

"..." Xia Zuo thought for a while, but he really didn't remember how he rescued him.After a while, I said sincerely, "I'm sorry...I..." I really don't have much memory.

Being considerate, Elvira smiled and said, "I'll just remember. But...although it's very abrupt, I still want to seize the opportunity to ask a question..."

"Ok?"

"Your Excellency... Is there anyone you are dating now?" The shy woman put away those shy smiles and said seriously.

"..." Omega's directness left Xia Zuo momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
