There is always a crossing that suits you

Qiao Mu ran out of the consulate in one breath. He didn't want to go home and had nowhere to go, so he just started strolling on the street.

"Apple one, apple two, apple apple I love you..."

"Hello, Michael?" The phone rang, and Michael's name flashed.

"Miller, will you come to my show?"

"Okay, where? When?"

"Rose Bar, now."

"No problem, give me 10 minutes."

Before 10 minutes, Qiao Mu had arrived at his destination.

"Hey! Miller, here!"

At a glance, Qiao Mu saw the members of the band who were waving to him.

"Is it a charity performance today or is there a reward?" Although Qiao Mu is not short of money, there are still some things that need to be explained first.

"It's a charity performance, but you can drink as you like."

"OK."

Qiao Mu's drum kit is very good, he is not talented in music, but he has a mother who loves rock art, so he is quite skilled.Although it is not as professional as it is, it is more than enough to deceive the public and amateurs.Coupled with a handsome face, even if it is not the lead singer, it will still detonate the audience.A bar, isn't it just for fun?

This is not the first time they performed. The regular guests in the audience shouted their respective names and sang and swayed with them. The scene was simply high.Qiao Mu didn't want to go home tonight, the good times were coming to an end, so he wanted to indulge, so he just beat the drums loudly.Fortunately, the DJ is also very good, and the atmosphere is too good.

After the performance, the band and others will naturally have enough to drink.

"Tequila." Qiao Mu was not polite.

"You look so elegant, but you like spirits so much." Joss ordered a glass of German stout. "When I saw you for the first time, I thought you could only chat with girls like wine."

"I hate sweet fruit wine, it's really boring to drink." Qiao Mu was a staunch alcohol lover in his previous life, the previous life and the previous life.

"Hey! That's enough for a man. Isn't it okay not to be like someone?" After having a drink with Qiao Mu, Joss looked at Michael's lower body meaningfully.

Michael holding the cider: ...he doesn't want to have a drink with such a mother. The key point is that if he dares to drink strong, his sister will definitely kill his relatives, okay?He still wants to live a few more years!

"Okay, it's not that I don't know that someone has a sister with the attribute of younger brother." Qiao Mu smoothed things over when he saw Michael blushing. He was a friend who grew up since he was a child. details.

Several young people carnivaled until the early hours of the morning, Joss found a hot girl to have sex, Qiao Mu and Michael went home after walking for a while.

The morning sun is about to rise, and the warm rays of light penetrate the thin mist, covering the city with a layer of warmth and softness.The city of steel and concrete is about to end its sleep and wake up from the night.

The rising sun is not as hot as in the daytime, but with a slight warmth, but it has been ironing into the depths of Qiao Mu's heart.

Arriving at the door of the house, the somewhat dilapidated second-hand house also became beautiful under the current sunshine.The tiles of the roof reflected a warm pale orange light, and from his position he could almost see the shutters of his small tower.This is his home... For a moment, Qiao Mu felt sore and wanted to cry.

Open the door carefully, being careful not to make a sound.Qiao Mu washed off the smell of alcohol in the bathroom, put on soft pajamas, threw herself on the bed and fell asleep.As for going to school?Is that the case?

+ + + + + +

After waking up, Qiao Mu didn't know what time it was, and dazedly took out his phone—15:35? ? ?

I rely on!How long have I slept!

"Cuckoo..."

The sound from his stomach reminded Qiao Mu that he seemed to have not eaten since last night.

"starving."

Qiao Mu turned over and got up, and decided to forage for food, and the emperor was big.

Going downstairs in her pajamas, she accidentally discovered that Helen was—— cooking? !

"Mom, why are you cooking now? Don't you go on a date?" Shouldn't you be creating or dating at this time.

"Brat, why don't you see you getting up soon, so I'll get you something to fill your stomach!" The mother expressed her displeasure at being bullied by her son.

"Don't be angry, it's okay if I'm wrong." Qiao Mu scratched his head and admitted his mistake with a rascal expression. "Mom, it smells so good. I'm starving to death."

"That's good. There are shrimps you like."

After a while, Qiao Mu ate the shrimp he was thinking of.

After a lot of struggle, I stopped the fork when I felt [-]% full.

"Mom, can you tell me about your father? And why you two divorced." Qiao Mu never asked about his mother's past. First, he didn't have a chance. Second, he felt that the past was not important. He only wanted to be with her in the present and in the future. beside the mother.But now he really wants to know something, about his mother and the father he never met.

"Your father and I fell in love in an old fashioned way. It was love at first sight. We didn't think about anything at the time, and love was love. Who would have thought that a down-and-out artist who was hanging out in Art Street would be a prince? We were very happy at first, until..." Heron There was nostalgia in my mother's voice but no regrets, "I can't bear that kind of life-everywhere I go, I follow people behind, without any privacy. A large group of people bother you all day long for insignificant etiquette and rules. Endure. I need color in my life, I need art and creation!"

"Since our divorce, I have reached a consensus with your father and grandmother. We both feel that we should keep our distance from each other. We want you to have a childhood like other children, without complicated relationships and court politics, safe and simple. .We were going to tell you the truth when you were 18, but your father's death changed everything. We just wanted to protect you."

Qiao Mu was silent for a long time, and finally decided to choose to forgive.He should be proud that his mother was sincere, passionate and assertive, and that his father loved his mother until his death, and that he didn't make another heir or anything.As a man with great responsibilities, he has done everything he can for the woman he loves—freedom and love.

"I see, Mom. I forgive you." Qiao Mu gave Heron a hug, "But next time, if there is anything else, please let me know. Please believe that I have a strong heart to face these. Honesty is better than kindness. It's much better to cheat, I'm not a kid anymore"

"Never, dear. I promise." The forgiven mother hugged her son happily, full of maternal love and joy.

"Miller, I apologize for that."

"I accept." Qiao Mu hugged his mother back, feeling extremely happy.

"Mom, I will accept the throne." Qiao Mu said the answer he had considered for a long time.

"But...you don't need it. Miller, if you don't want to, I will definitely stand by your side and fight them to the end!" Herron said anxiously: "You can live the life you want, no one will force you !"

"No, Mom. My blood is doomed to my responsibilities, and besides, I really want to see my father's homeland." Although Qiao Mu didn't have much interest in ruling the country, he occupied the boy's body and enjoyed his father's country. Mother's love, that should also bear his responsibility.Qiao Mu is not a good person, he will not feel guilty for occupying other people's lives, but it is still possible to obey the arrangement of fate and fulfill due responsibilities.The most important thing is his feeling tells him - the pillars of the world are in Genovia.This is a little bit of ability left after learning divination.But because of the law of time, there is only such a hunch.

Under Qiao Mu's insistence, Helen had to compromise.This charming single mother sincerely hopes that her son will be happy. She loves a wonderful life full of artistic atmosphere and hopes that her son will keep his heart free and happy.Now that the son has voluntarily agreed to inherit the throne, the noble queen will not bother her again, and the beautiful artist has recovered her carefree and decided to have a romantic date with her new boyfriend tomorrow.

------

In this way, Qiao Mu started the three-point and one-line life of home-school-consulate every day.

As an American boy who has never been exposed to the life of Western aristocrats, Qiao Mu can be said to have learned from the most basic.Whether it is etiquette, dance, history, or culture, he must learn from scratch. What he is about to rule is a completely strange country.To be honest, he had come into contact with many monarchs before, but the kings of feudalism and slave society were completely different from the kings of the modern constitutional system.He used to think that the work of the modern royal family was just charitable work, such as giving speeches on TV, until he actually got in touch with him and found that it was not that kind of thing at all. Qiao Mu, who was tired like a dead dog again, said that high salaries are really not easy to get of!

"Miller, your demeanor has a strong military style, have you been trained in this area?" Qiao Mu and his grandmother started chatting after finishing their lunch.

This is also a kind of course, subtly teaching nobles how to communicate in the chat, precepts and deeds are always more useful than people reciting a bunch of precautions.A nobleman must be able to behave in a conversation on various occasions.

"No, it's just that I participated in a military summer camp." Qiao Mu knew that this answer was not convincing at all, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he had to blame the military summer camp.Anyway, he did participate, and he is not afraid of being checked.

The queen smiled tolerantly, as if she believed her grandson's nonsense, and continued: "That's really good. You will need to enter the Royal Naval Academy in Genovia in the future. I was worried that you would be bored. Now it seems that my Worrying is unnecessary."

"Of course not. I'm very honored that a beautiful lady like you is worrying about me." Qiao Mu slyly said, "But you must not let your worries hamper your face, I will be heartbroken."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to interrupt." A calm male voice interjected, "The ballroom is ready."

The queen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qiao Mu: "I will take you to the ball in three weeks, where I will introduce you to the media and the people."

Consciously taking each other's arms, Qiao Mu said to his noble grandmother, "Will I leave the United States after that?"

"Of course not." Her Majesty the Queen patted the hands on her arms reassuringly, hearing the reluctance in the grandson's tone, with a gentle tone.

"You can stay here until the end of term. You can also invite your friends to the prom."

Even though he was a bit reluctant to give up on Qiao Mu, he knew that this was the best, so he didn't argue much.Qiao Mu has also seen countless people. After getting along these days, he can feel the love of his grandmother. It is not a queen's concern for an heir, but a grandmother's love for her grandson. This woman does her best to take care of his feelings. indifferent.

"Dancing is the fastest way to get into people's hearts. Tell me what dance you are good at?"

"I can only waltz." Qiao Mu only danced with Rafe during the initial crossing.

"Now I will teach you the dance to dance at the ball, a dance with Genovia's characteristics." The queen signaled her knight to turn on the player, and soft and rhythmic music came out. "It's a graceful and steady dance move, just right for a new heir to debut."

Guide Qiao Shu to put on a good posture and move slowly with the music.

"This dance is between the waltz and the tango." The queen's voice flowed in her ears, "Now I'm going out, don't move."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Qiao Mu, who stepped on the partner's foot instead of holding him, was very tangled.

"It's okay, come again."

"Oh, sorry……"

"continue."

"Um... sorry..."

"...come again."

"When I'm dancing, I don't know where to put my hands." That's why Qiao Mu never dances with those unscrupulous gangsters in the band.

"You just lack practice, let's do it again."

…………

"Grandma, it's getting dark."

"..."

"Let's come back tomorrow."

"..."

"Grandma, if you don't speak, you are acquiescing. Goodbye, grandma!"

Queen:…………

----

With Qiao Shu retreating strategically, only the queen and her loyal dog remained in the ballroom.

"Have a headache?"

"Of course not." The queen raised her chin proudly, "It is more cute with a little flaw. What Genovia needs is a monarch who is close to the people, not a perfect god."

"You are always right, my majesty." The loyal dog lowered his voice, exaggerating the unspeakable ambiguity like a whisper.

Turn on the player again, and the smooth music echoes

"You've been wearing black for too long."

The graceful queen smiled indulgently, and placed her hand in that of her knight.

A loyal knight leads his queen onto the dance floor

Under the warm yellow light, the dancing men and women look like a picture scroll.
