one step away [Interstellar]

39.

Amanda, who had never followed her chief back to the mansion of the other party, received a very good reception.Firstly, there were not many people in the Duke's mansion, which made her less nervous.Secondly, it is natural that Heber is easy-going, plus she looks very similar to the actor she loves, Amanda, who is a star chaser, is even more happy.

There was only one thing that made her feel that it was not perfect, and that was that the general holding her waist in front of her was really too clumsy. "General, on the right." When correcting the wrong gait of the general in front of her for the hundred and first time, Amanda, who had admired him very much, finally understood the truth that no one is perfect.

Even though it was very disrespectful, she still couldn't help but growl, General, are you an idiot? There are only 32 tango roundabout steps in total. Why can't you do it right? And this is something that must be learned in etiquette class. .

After the first run-in, Amanda finally lost confidence in the dance steps that could barely continue.She clasped Xia Zuo's shoulder, and said in a desperate and helpless tone, "General, please forgive me for not being an Omega." That's why I don't even have the charm to make you go through the whole process seriously.

Her upright general held her waist, took a step back to the right, and said in a low voice, "Please don't underestimate yourself. If you were an Omega, I probably wouldn't have the chance to practice with you. I'll give you three more days on National Day." How about a vacation?"

Aww, it's really shameless to threaten the guards with vacations.Amanda endured the pain of being stepped on again, and silently continued this practice as the other party's partner.

The two alphas dancing together seemed really awkward.In particular, these two people were not wearing regular uniforms, but in uniforms, silently practicing the dance to be performed on the "Festiff" tomorrow in an empty room.

The focused two alphas drew the attention of the maids.

The movement here is not too big, but it is enough to become a thing to be watched in the long-quiet Duke's Mansion.The servants informed each other one after another, so a lot of people gathered at the door of the piano room.

The small words were blown into the hostess' ears by the wind. Heber, who was coming out of the study, heard the news. For some unknown reason, he followed Sonny's steps to the door of this familiar room, looking Seeing the slender figure, he stopped in his tracks.

The slender but slightly thin young general hugged his tall, plump and beautiful bodyguard in the empty room, dancing to traditional beautiful music.Exquisite glass windows reflect colorful light and shadow, casting bright and moving tones in the room.

The seemingly innocent and lovely general took a wrong step and stepped on his partner's shoe, causing the other party to frown.The innocent general showed an apologetic smile. That cute expression made people unable to be harsh, so the good-tempered Amanda had no choice but to give up. The thoughtful reminder told her where she should go in the next step, and she would go on doing the wrong thing.

Inexplicably, Heber covered the corners of his lips lightly, and couldn't help chuckling.

As if sensing something, Alpha, who was practicing seriously, turned his eyes and landed on her at a glance.The moment their eyes met, Xia Zuo noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and frowned somewhat annoyed.

Oops, I'm probably going to be unhappy.

For some reason, Heber, who suddenly realized that the other party was being awkward, couldn't help bending his eyebrows and showing a flattering smile.It seemed to be comforting, and it seemed to be encouraging. In short, Xia Zuo, who was obviously pleased by her expression, turned his gaze back and landed on Amanda again.

Infected by this emotion, Heber smiled, then coughed lightly, glanced at Sonny beside him, and walked in the original direction.

As for the remaining maids who were still watching, they naturally stayed where they were.

After what happened at noon, Heber already knew why Xia Zuo brought Amanda with him.Therefore, on the day of the engagement banquet, she was not surprised to see Xia Zuo in a tuxedo and Amanda in a flawless white evening gown.

The Marquis Ellen's engagement banquet was held in Moore Harbor Bay, south of San Lorenzo, which was very busy a month ago because of the engagement banquet.

The place where the engagement banquet will be held is on the Moore Sea, so they will set off on the Snow Particle ship at noon to complete the wedding on the sea, and then stop at the most lively Wind Rock Island to hold a banquet, and then return to San Lorenzo .

Therefore, the final banquet held on Fengyan Island is considered a more formal engagement banquet.Most people choose to attend the engagement banquet on that day, including Princess Mother and Duke Rose.And this one at sea is a carnival of young people who are acquainted with each other to celebrate the eve of the engagement.

Of course, it's not all young people, some married and stable elder brothers will still appear.For example, Lynn, such as the newly married prince and the like.

And Heber was also on the list, so on this day, she boarded the Snow Particle together with Xia Zuo.

The hull of the Snow Particle Horn parked in Moore Harbor is as clean as white snowflakes floating on the blue sea.The sea breeze was blowing, Xia Zuo followed Heber, and walked into the ship with her.

No matter from which aspect, Marquis Ellen, who inherited the family business, is a very wealthy person, so he naturally has very strong financial resources to hold a perfect engagement banquet for his beloved fiancée.

Although it was an engagement banquet, for these two people, it was almost like a wedding ceremony.For some reason, both Natasha and Ellen believed that the relationship between the two did not need a guarantee of a contract for the time being, and the woman's family urged them repeatedly, which led to this banquet.

Although I wasn't very happy at first, but now...

Stepping on the red carpet, Xia Zuo walked into the elegantly decorated banquet hall. Standing beside He Bo, looking at the happy-looking sister who was holding his fiancée's arm in front of him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Congratulations."

Ellen smiled, and looked at Heber next to her, and after saying hello, she looked at Amanda, who was obviously a female partner on the other side of Xia Zuo, and said, "It seems that you have found a good dance partner. She smiled and glanced at the slightly excited Amanda, "Long time no see, Lieutenant Amanda."

"You too, General Ellen. Long time no see. Congratulations, and General Natasha, happy wedding!" Seeing the general he admired again, the young and vigorous lieutenant congratulated again and again, almost biting his tongue excitedly. own tongue.

In this regard, Xia Zuo, who has been her boss for many years, feels a little helpless when he sees his capable personal guard become such a virtuous person in front of his sister and sister-in-law.Shaking his head, he said, "It seems that you have met very happily, how about asking Amanda to guard the door for you tonight?"

Well, the fighting power of this little personal guard is not bad, it should be able to deal with those naughty brothers and sisters.

Natasha at the side heard Xia Zuo's teasing, glanced at her and said casually, "Guard the door, Lieutenant Amanda, does your general often ask you to guard the door? Charles... When do you need it?" Others are helping to guard the door, or are you alone..."

Her blue eyes are superb, like the most accurate hunter, she is firmly locked on Xia Zuo's body.Then his eyes moved down, swept over her chest, abdomen, landed on her slender straight legs, and finally fixed his gaze on that slender white hand.

The private life of soldiers in the military area is relatively chaotic, especially in remote places like Sass.Usually when the holiday comes, the soldiers who are released in batches will find someone who can spend the night with them, and let the other party's thigh wrap around their waist, and vice versa.

It's not that military officers don't know how to do these things, and usually they have fixed lovers, so things like letting the guards go out have become a joke that military personnel often talk about.

General Xia Zuo, who has been single for more than 20 years, has no lover or partner. Therefore, if he needs to do something to let the guards out, he can only rely on his right hand.

Already accustomed to his sister-in-law's teasing, Xia Zuo responded lightly, "I don't have the habit of letting Lieutenant Amanda squat at the door, but every time I contact Ellen, it is probably Captain Lane who answers the phone. ...So I think sister Natasha, you are probably used to being squatted at the door." Captain Ryan is the personal guard of General Ellen, and every time Xia Zuo looks for Ellen, he can only find Ryan here.The reason is that Xia Zuo is only free during the holidays to contact his sister about private matters.

And usually, during the holidays, Ellen was always by Natasha's side.

The leaders of two different military regions had a small verbal battle. Ellen, who was forced to lie down, noticed that there was a very reserved lady beside her, so she coughed lightly, interrupting the teasing between the two of them. Rhythm, "Go in first, we'll talk later, okay?"

Xia Zuo nodded and said, "Okay. Then once again, I wish you a happy wedding."

"Thank you." Ellen stretched out her hand, embraced her frail little sister, and accepted her blessing sincerely.Then, Xia Zuo, who was let go, stretched out his hand, took Natasha's hand, put it in his palm, leaned over and kissed him, and said, "Thank you again for being willing to be a member of our family."

"You're welcome." Natasha smiled, stretched out her hand to pat the back of Xia Zuo's hand, squinted her eyes and said, "For Ellen's sake, I can lend you Ryan next time you need someone to let you out."

Well, this vengeful woman really didn't forget about it. Of course, Xia Zuo was not someone who would show weakness so easily. She shook her head with a smile and said very calmly, "Thank you for your generosity, of course, Lieutenant Amanda was proficient in the operation of the business before the need for it."

Let... let the wind go?No...General, I won't!

As a pure child, Amanda, who could fully understand what the two generals were saying, burned her ears shyly.In these short conversations, Heber, who heard vaguely, could vaguely understand the meaning of these words in the end.Especially at the end, Natasha smiled with her lips curled up, "Oh, yeah, although it's good to practice more for Lieutenant Amanda to get started with this task quickly, I still hope you pay more attention to your body, except Waist, and hands."

"..."

"By the way, Charles, is your waist healed?" Natasha winked, teasing her about Xia Zuo's sprained waist during the Resistance War a year ago.

Speechless, Xia Zuo glanced at He Bo, and said, "Let's go." Not intending to continue answering his sister-in-law's words at all, Xia Zuo and He Bo walked into the gradually increasing crowd together.

"En." He Bo nodded, glanced at the white and slender fingers of the other party, then raised his eyes, nodded to the couple who were about to get engaged, and walked into the interior together with Xia Zuo.

Ellen, who was still welcoming the guests at the gate of the infield, glanced at the leaving figure of his sister, then turned his eyes, and gently approached his wife, stretched out his hand, hooked her little finger, and showed a questioning look.

Natasha smiled at her and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.She wouldn't tell the person in front of her that her sister's wolf in sheep's clothing had tirelessly hacked into the system of her headquarters yesterday during the holiday, causing the entire headquarters to be completely overwhelmed last night.

It's just a vengeance.

The black-haired young man standing in the corner looked at the three figures walking into the infield together, stretched out his hand, hooked the glass of wine in front of him, and said frivolously, "Ah, great Hercules, your wife is coming!" oh."

The woman sitting not far from him raised her eyebrows and showed a noncommittal smile.

The author has something to say: Note: Hebe’s name comes from the goddess of youth in ancient Greek mythology, and her husband is Hercules.

Hercules is the illegitimate son of Zeus... Well, the specific plot can be Baidu... There is a stalk here, probably some people who are alphas should be the most powerful ones in the end.A little bit...probably...

Yet Hercules was a hero.

As for the others... (I'm sorry, this makes me unable to pretend anymore, vomit.)

Sister Natasha teased Xia Zuo for using his hands today, it's okay Amanda, you will have a lot of opportunities to show off in the future!
