under the mask

After the brilliance of the stars ended, the temperature on the flame desert dropped rapidly, and countless colored balls rose above the auditorium square, faintly lighting up the halo.On this dance night that countless students were looking forward to, the sky was very beautiful with light snow like fluffy catkins floating down in the halo of colored balls, dancing endlessly like naughty elves.

The people gathered towards the auditorium from various buildings stopped and looked up at them with smiles, letting them fall on the black uniform coat, smiling face and hair, like lovers The murmured whispers in the room melted quietly, with a hint of ice, smudged into the heart.

If there is no such a wonderful snow in winter, how to resolve the tiredness of the year?

Only this kind of snow makes people eagerly long for a large stone fireplace, sit in a rocking chair and cover it with a blanket, and chat with family and friends... Mix it with sweet rock sugar water, and have a glass of absinthe, Reminiscing about summer in a refreshing and unspeakable taste seems to be a strange tradition.No work, no trouble, only the joy of reunion, which is probably the reason why the people of Jialai Vance love winter so much.

Like a tired bird returning to its nest.

"The winter ball needs snow to be decent..." Mu Ling exhaled lightly, sighing in satisfaction.

Levi put his cold hands into the pockets of his uniform coat and smiled.

He also knew a way to make people more joyful in winter, but that was a long time ago... Even when he hadn't come to this world, he hadn't felt it for a long time.Every household rewards their relatives and friends with rich chicken, duck and fish meat. The continuous sound of firecrackers outside the door blew up the festival for a year. Whether it is a city or a country, rich or poor, every door is pasted with the word "Fu". Everyone has hope in their hearts... When he was young, he also had such warm memories, running from house to house with his friends...

But it's not bad right now.

"Have you found a dance partner?" He and Mu Ling walked towards the auditorium and asked casually.

"Of course." Mu Ling glanced at Li Wei proudly, "I'm very popular."

Li Wei coughed lightly to conceal the urge to laugh.Some time ago, a certain girl held a gun against a certain boy in the mechanical infantry professional training camp, forcing him to associate with her. Who in the school didn't know her great deeds?He went back from get out of class and spent a long time feeling with the twins, but he didn't expect that after Mu Ling transferred to the bandit major, even his behavior became barbaric...

"Hmm... you and that..." Mu Ling wiped his nose uncomfortably and moaned, "It's that red hair, how is it now?"

Li Wei was really about to laugh, why didn't he see that Mu Ling was such an awkward girl before?

"It's okay." He shrugged: "But that red-haired senior is your senior?" Mu Ling used to call Jacob a senior, and like many first-year students, she still hated the rumored "red-haired senior" With a sense of awe, how long has passed.

Mu Ling snorted softly and did not respond.

What else can she say, if she loses to any girl, she will not be reconciled, but losing to a man like that... She will never forget the day when she reported the report and looked up at the flaming fighter plane across the sky, and of course she can't forget Li The scene where Wei and Senior Jacob kissed in front of him.She sighed from the bottom of her heart, and walked silently with Li Wei on the auditorium square. There were beautiful snowflakes floating above their heads, and some snowflakes were stained on their thick-soled boots, but it quickly melted away... Walking with someone you like like this Together, it's as if the person she's going to dance with tonight is...

The atmosphere became a little awkward.Li Wei saw the girl next to her shaking her head irritably, as if she was about to shake something off her head, and couldn't help feeling a little hypocritically apologetic.But he didn't say anything, he can't respond to the little girl's heart, so the best way is not to bother, but then again...Abel Jacob is also a small...little boy...why he just saw the right eye Woolen cloth?

His mood became cheerful again, and his steps became brisk.

"Senior Laval said that you are about to get engaged." Mu Ling curled her lips and pulled her coat and hat to cover her well-manicured curly black hair.

Li Wei almost choked on his saliva, and turned to stare at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling looked back at him innocently: "Isn't it? When we were in the sword class, many girls were asking about your...daily life. Senior Laval said it was your privacy, but he told everyone that you are about to get engaged .”

Seth that guy! !Levi's mouth twitched.

"That's his nonsense," he strode forward speechlessly: "You girls...really!" This is probably Jialai Vance's rotten girl, but fortunately Seth still has a little bit of sense, if it were Kashi, Maybe even Jacob and the others would tell about their date through the window in the middle of the night, it's too scary!

Mu Ling, however, was in a good mood, followed up and asked with a smile, "Why? Anyway, you two are so close, so engagement will happen sooner or later, right?" Although her family is only a small nobleman, the affairs in the noble circle are still very clear. Li Wei was the only one left in the Pal family, so he should be able to decide whether to marry a nobleman or a commoner, not to mention that Senior Jacob is so outstanding, it will be a matter of time before he gets ahead.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a lot more psychologically balanced.Regardless of her own mood, Li Wei and Senior Jacob are indeed a good match, and what my friends said is correct.

Li Wei was naturally hit by Mu Ling, but he didn't show it.If he could get engaged, he would have taken Feilong back to Spal's house a long time ago... But people should learn to cherish their blessings. The general environment is still peaceful now, and he and Abel Jacob can still be together. This is already The best situation is, as for the future, I can only leave it to God.

The only thing he can do is to insist on not giving up on them at any time, although this may be the most difficult.

When they reached the entrance of the auditorium, Li Wei and Mu Ling glanced at each other, and walked into the auditorium separately.The girl standing at the door read his invitation card and smiled at him inexplicably for a long time.

The impression of the auditorium on Li Wei changes every time, and this time is no exception.He entered the auditorium with the flow of people, and was almost choked by the scent of roses. There was a whole pink world inside. From the dome to the surrounding marble columns, there were pink and white curtains and lace hanging everywhere, and there were also dotted with various colors in the middle. At first glance, it looks like a wedding scene.He didn't know what the other guys thought, anyway, he wasn't too cold... But judging from the reactions of the excited and screaming girls around him, they were satisfied.

The open space in the middle of the auditorium magically turned into a circular dance floor, and the ground was like an ice surface, with light dry ice floating on it. Around the dance floor, there were long buffet tables and private spaces separated by Putuo vines. , a small white round table, and two matching white high-back chairs.Li Wei couldn't help but slander, this is simply discrimination, but there are three of them!

The entire huge space is filled with an excited and ambiguous emotion, which is condensed by the auras of countless people around them. They have all put on their own masks, either reserved or bold, indistinct, everywhere. They are shadows in pairs.

Li Wei reacted, and took out his bright green half-face mask from the space twister and put it on. This was the first time he wore such a mask in two lifetimes. Although the eyelids were large enough, it still gave him a rather strange feeling. , as if looking at the world through a mask, there is a mysterious color around you.

A slight vibration came from his wrist, and he looked down at the communicator.

"Honey, come to us."

The young man in the green mask lowered his head slightly, revealing a smooth and clean jaw line, and his thin pink lips curled up into a warm arc.He raised his head and began to look for his familiar figure in the bustling crowd...the slender and flexible one...the one with broad shoulders and the narrow waist...the one with short thick red hair...his boys.

A small circular stage descended from the dome at the end of the auditorium. A girl in a pure white dress sat in front of the piano, closed her eyes, and played a beautiful and moving love song that has been passed down for a long time. The song echoed in the entire auditorium, and everyone agreed Step into the dance floor together, embrace each other and spin gently on the dance floor.

Anxiety surged in Li Wei's heart. He walked through the crowd, saying sorry unconsciously, but his eyes had passed them, and he kept searching for the figure in his heart... But he couldn't find it, there are too many people here , the people around him looked back at him one after another, but these people all looked the same wearing masks - no one was similar to those two guys?

Haven't they come yet?

The dance music gradually turned to a climax, as if the fiery men and women could no longer hide their love for each other, they hugged each other tightly and twirled wildly, their swallowtails and skirt corners intertwined and flew with the messy dance steps——

"Abel..." Li Wei murmured, looking around in a daze: "Jacob?"

Suddenly, there was a dazzling red in the corner of his eyes, only a small point, but it pierced into his heart in an instant, and he even stopped breathing.

Ruby stud earrings…?

Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, but his body seemed to be out of control and chased in that direction. It was like an illusion at first glance, and he chased to the corner of the auditorium, where there were only dark corners and floor-to-ceiling curtains.

He frowned and panted and looked around, almost everyone was dancing on the dance floor, and he was the only damned person here... But he could feel a fiery gaze cast on him, it must be those two damned fat ones! !

"Not coming out?" Li Wei sneered, turned around blankly and strode into the dance floor.At this time, the last piece of music just stopped, a girl in a powder-blue dress and short skirt bumped into him with high heels, turned around in panic and apologized to him, her small face, which only covered her eyes, was as red as an apple.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." She looked up at the gentle and gentle boy wearing a mask, her face turned even redder.

Li Wei smiled and reached out to her: "It's okay, but can you allow me to invite this beautiful lady to dance with you?"

"Don't even think about it!" A slender hand was inserted between the two of them, and the owner of this arm hugged his waist tightly, "Wife, how dare you mess around behind my back? !"

Li Wei staggered into a strong embrace, a smug smile appeared on his face, and the girl on the opposite side looked at them in astonishment with her mouth wide open.

Before he could express his apologies to the girl, he was dragged to the middle of the dance floor involuntarily.

If the person in front of you doesn't look at the size, he has almost all the elements of a girl's obsession. The black mask only reveals a sharp jaw and thin lips. The dark honey-colored skin is smooth and tight, and the fiery red hair is neatly combed back. The ruby ​​earrings on the upper part are shining, which is in stark contrast to the boy's black suit dress. His shoulders are straight and broad, his back is tall and straight, his legs are long and strong, and he stands with his mouth pursed in the colorful crowd, like It's like a still photo in some magazines, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

Abel glared at Li Wei viciously through the mask several times, then put his hands together, hugged his lover completely in his arms and slowly turned around, biting the other's soft earlobe sideways.

"I'll clean you up after the dance." He said in a muffled voice.

Li Wei was forced to put his hands on his shoulders, suppressed his laughter for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing, holding Abel's face and kissing him.This is a moment that makes him feel very happy. Sometimes he doesn't know who is manipulating his destiny from one time and space to another... But he is always grateful because he has family and friends , and now there is a lover +1... His lover is very possessive of him, which is a wonderful thing.

Abel also laughed, and the two of them swayed in circles with their heads touching their heads, and the happy laughter couldn't stop pouring out from their intimately touching lips, as if there were only the two of them on the whole dance floor.

Li Wei only felt that he hadn't laughed so wantonly for a long time, and he was completely relaxed, so when another familiar breath approached behind him, he kissed Abel lightly, let him go and turned around, with the same body Jacob in black dress stood behind them with a smile, one hand stretched out towards him and waited quietly.

"mine…"

Jacob tightly held the hand that Li Wei handed over, hugged him with one hand and gently twirled him into the dancing crowd, and put his other hand on the back of his neck, his voice was unprecedentedly low: "Baby."

Li Wei was a little embarrassed, but he was really happy.That's right, it's so gross...

"...Why did you dye it black?" He concealed his head on Jacob's shoulder, smelling the faint smell of hair dye at the end of his nose.

Jacob carefully kissed his white earlobe: "In order to be here at the same time."

In order to distinguish him from Abel, his hair was dyed black, and he wore a red mask and opal earrings.

"One day, we can dance together without wearing a mask." He slowly led Levi to dance the traditional dance steps of Jialai Vance, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, you don't have to care about any eyes, and you don't have to always worry about it. Our safety is concerned."

Li Wei relaxed his shoulders and leaned most of his weight on Jacob's arms, feeling warm all over his body.

"I will work hard too."

There are indeed too many things in the future, and there are layers of burdens... Abel and Jacob are no better than him. They are both real teenagers, but they have more backbone and responsibility than they did before.Although it is a bit embarrassing to say this, Levi really got enough courage from his childhood lovers.

Dallying and dancing with the two for several hours, when the zero o'clock bell rang on the dome, snowflakes fell from above, and exclamations sounded one after another in the auditorium, Li Wei held the hands of the two tightly and looked up. Go, I suddenly feel that this scene is a bit like a wedding or something...

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Abel tugged at him and winked at Jacob.

"Now?" Li Wei looked at them in surprise, but obediently let the two of them pull him, and followed the crowd out of the auditorium.

The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was quite large in the middle of the night, and everyone couldn't help shivering a few times, because they were all wearing thin dresses and uniform coats could not keep out the cold.

Abel and Jacob put their coats on Li Wei's body at the same time, and the latter looked at his own shadow on the ground with black lines, wearing three thick coats, which were so bloated.

Because a considerable number of practitioners live in the Eastern District, there are still buses waiting for them in the city until late at night.The twins took Li Wei into one of them, and the surroundings were not quiet. Everyone was still immersed in the wonderful dance, and most of them talked excitedly in low voices, which made the unheated bus boil with heat.This is the same as those Western festivals in Li Wei's impression. The biggest difference from the festivals in his country is that the festival atmosphere is more romantic. There is always a slight strange feeling.

On the east side, the students all walked towards the dormitory area of ​​their own college, and only Li Wei walked towards the east gate.

"The curfew is already in place, and students are not allowed to go out." Li Wei whispered.

"I've already said hello, don't worry." Abel didn't take it seriously, and looked back at his twin brother.Jacob took a few steps forward, and when the soldiers guarding the city gate came over with pulse guns, he took out something and whispered.

Within seconds, several soldiers nodded, glanced at the three of them cautiously, and opened the small door to let them pass.

A desert amphibious speedboat is parked 100 meters away from the city gate.
