On the top of the quiet and elegant Nanshan Mountain, there is an old house left by the ancients. The vicissitudes and simplicity of the courtyard are hidden among the green mountains and green waters, silently watching the changes of the years.A few years ago, a businessman bought this ancient courtyard with huge sums of money. After some renovations, he used it for commercial use, thus turning it into today's Rose Villa.

When Shen Mingyang and Ying Shuqing arrived at the villa, the sky had completely dissipated, the sun was setting and the moon was rising, white and black were exchanged, Tiangong left a stroke of thick ink to decorate the sky, and a few stars to embellish the darkness.

The gloomy mountains and forests can't hide the splendor overflowing from Rose Villa, and bits and pieces of brilliance flow out from it, quietly emitting light like a legacy pearl.

Before entering the villa, Ying Shuqing changed into formal clothes in the car. He chose a dark red suit and a pure white silk pocket square to match it. When he got off the car, he became the center of attention. Focus.

Delicate and elegant, Ying Shuqing with a calm demeanor, like a bright red rose blooming in the dark night, just corresponds to the name of this villa.

Shen Mingyang took off his windbreaker, and stood in front of the car in a neat black suit. He stretched out his hand to Ying Shuqing, and under the eyes projected from all directions, he walked into the villa hand in hand with this dark night rose.

Before entering the banquet hall, the waiter took the VIP card from Shen Mingyang's hand on a tray, and put two roses, one red and one white, on the tray for the two to choose.The red rose was hot and strong, but Ying Shuqing preferred the purity of the white rose. He stretched out his hand to the white rose, but Shen Mingyang blocked it with his hand.

Shen Mingyang smiled slightly at the waiter, then took out the red rose and pinned it to Ying Shuqing's chest.Although Ying Shuqing was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He also took out the white rose from the tray and pinned it gently on Shen Mingyang's chest.

Afterwards, the two entered the banquet hall under the leadership of the waiter. After Ying Shuqing entered the venue, she found that there were not many people attending the reception, and most of them were strangers, but they were all in pairs, same-sex Both sexes.

Shen Mingyang handed Ying Shuqing a glass of pink champagne, and led him around, chatting with familiar people in the venue.It was not the first time that Ying Shuqing accompanied Shen Mingyang to a reception, but most of the people he met before were celebrities in the business world and political elites. He put on face and called everyone by name.

But today is different, Ying Shuqing is completely in an extremely strange environment, strange place, unfamiliar people, makes him feel very stiff and inexplicably uneasy.

Before coming, Shen Mingyang did not explain the nature of the reception to Ying Shuqing, but after Shen Mingyang was called aside by an acquaintance to discuss matters, Ying Shuqing stood alone by the wine table, looking around slowly with his eyes.

In the banquet hall, cups of wine were intertwined, clothes were fragrant and temples shadowed, men and women of all kinds chatted with each other, all wearing roses of different colors on their chests.After careful observation, Ying Shuqing found that among heterosexual couples, only women wore red roses, while same-sex couples, who looked like him, also wore red roses.

What does this red and white rose represent?

Why didn't Shen Mingyang let himself choose the white rose?

Ying Shuqing frowned in thought, unconsciously turning the wedding ring on his ring finger, once the wedding ring was put on, he was unwilling to take it off.Even though he was in the car just now, Shen Mingyang deliberately teased him, telling him to put away the wedding ring, otherwise he would lose it carelessly one day.

"Hello, Red Rose."

The running thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a strange voice, Ying Shuqing suddenly came back to his senses, and saw a man in a dark blue suit standing in front of him.This man had a white rose pinned to his chest. He seemed to be about 40 years old, with a plain face and a shiny face. The H brand belt shining on his waist could not restrain his protruding belly.

Ying Shuqing didn't know this man, and smiled at him out of politeness, but the man squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, looking at Ying Shuqing from head to toe without hesitation, as if he was picking a shop window products placed inside.

Then he swirled the red wine in the glass, gently touched the goblet in Ying Shuqing's hand, and said, "I haven't seen such a beautiful person here for a long time, is this your first time here?"

The man's eyes were naked and his tone was frivolous, which made Ying Shuqing feel strong discomfort. He looked around, hoping that Shen Mingyang would come back soon, but wherever he looked, there were unfamiliar faces.

Seeing that Ying Shuqing didn't answer, the man stepped forward and reached out to pick the red rose on his chest.Ying Shuqing took a step back in shock from his sudden action, with a flustered expression on his face, but the man was taken aback, and asked him, "Do you not know the rules? Or do you not know the rules?"

"What... the rules?"

Ying Shuqing didn't understand the meaning of the man's words, but he felt the bone-piercing cold wind coming from all directions, cooling his body instantly.

Ying Shuqing looked flustered, like a frightened bird flapping its wings in the forest. Seeing his appearance, the man raised the corners of his lips meaningfully.

"Shu Qing."

Shen Mingyang's voice came from behind at this time, Ying Shuqing turned around joyfully, and finally let go of the tight string in her heart.But when Shen Mingyang walked in front of him, the strange man spoke first.

"yours?"

The two seemed to know each other. Shen Mingyang glanced at him and nodded silently.

"Mingyang, let's go, I don't feel very comfortable here, I..."

Shen Mingyang and the man looked at each other, instantly expanding the uneasiness lurking in Ying Shuqing's heart. He felt an indescribable sense of fear for no reason, but he didn't know why this feeling came from. .

However, at the moment when Ying Shuqing begged Shen Mingyang to take him away, all the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out.

In the pitch blackness where you can't see your fingers, only Ying Shuqing exclaimed, but everyone present didn't make any abrupt sounds as if they had expected it.

"Ming... Mingyang..."

Ying Shuqing seemed to be drowning in the torrent, tremblingly stretched out his hand in the direction of Shen Mingyang, asking him for help, and at this moment, someone reached out and grabbed Ying Shuqing in the dark.

"Shuqing, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Mingyang's voice rang in Ying Shuqing's ears again, the voice was like a piece of driftwood floating in front of the rescuer's eyes, and he grabbed hold of it, and he calmed down a little.

In the silence of the room, Ying Shuqing stood where he was. He thought that Shen Mingyang was by his side, that he was holding Shen Mingyang's hand, and that's why he didn't move when someone approached him, and let the people behind him gently cover him with a soft ribbon. own eyes.
