Xie Bai washed his hands and groped his way out of the passage.
The guests who were fighting like demons in the ballroom were barely able to calm down under the supervision of Old Madam Qin.
The servants lit the candles and placed them on the gorgeous candlesticks that were originally used as decorations, which made the messy place feel ambiguous and warm.
The flickering flames illuminated the bruised and swollen faces beneath the masks.
But most people were not angry. Instead, they were more interested. They gathered together, fighting, quarreling and swearing, just like a group of thugs gathered on the street. There was no trace of the elegance and dignity they had when the lights were on.
Xie Bai watched quietly, and suddenly a figure appeared beside him.
"It looks funny, doesn't it?"
It’s Qin Zheng.
She had been mixing in the crowd, playing dirty tricks without distinguishing between friend and foe. When she was seen, she immediately pretended to stop the fight. She was having a lot of fun, and her tone was quite excited: "I didn't expect that everyone who is usually so high and mighty can have such a side. It's quite cute."
"Really?" Xie Bai glanced at her, then looked back at the overlapping shadows: "I think they look like a group of hyenas that only show their fangs and glow green when it gets dark. Funny but not cute, and quite disgusting."
Qin Zheng was stunned.
Xie Bai has always been a cold and gentle person. This is the first time she heard him say the word "disgusting".
Before they could think too much, Old Lady Qin saw them and immediately waved for them to come over.
Xie Bai narrowed his eyes. Although the person came closer, he refused without hesitation when faced with his aunt's request for him to help talk to the guests.
"I'm really annoyed," he said, his face cold and uninterested, "I'm going out to get some fresh air."
After that he left.
Now it was Old Madam Qin who was stunned.
"He hates things that are unexpected. I guess he's in a really bad mood." Qin Zheng said embarrassedly.
Mrs. Qin thought of her mad son upstairs and sighed, "Forget it, let him be."
·
It's windy and cold outside.
As soon as Xie Bai came out, the wind blew his collar and hair all over the place.
He did not go up to the deck, but bent over and jumped back and forth all the way to the side eaves.
The waves rolled up silently under the railing. He looked at the white crests and reached into his pockets. "Don't even think about going near the captain's room. Stay away from the cruise ship—"
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up towards the stern of the ship.
There were several lifeboats under the deck over there.
But going to the sea in a night without any lights...
The man laughed and said, "Ye Kong, you owe me a big sum."
He turned and walked towards the stern.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
The wind that had been blowing hard just now suddenly stopped, and now all that was floating down were snow-white particles.
——It’s snow.
Xie Bai looked at the snowflakes slowly melting on his fingertips, put down his hands, and continued walking forward.
·
His body hit the windowsill heavily and he almost fell over. Fortunately, he grabbed the window frame in time to steady himself.
The wind blew wet ice crystals in through the window, covering the man's scarred body.
Snowing.
His breath was filled with cold water vapor and his own blood.
The blow just now was so heavy that he thought his ribs might have been broken.
The same pain also comes from many parts of the body, such as the legs, arms, back, and abdomen...
Amid the excruciating pain, he supported himself on the windowsill behind him and managed to stand up straight. However, the moment he stood up, his knee weakened and he almost slipped again - he propped himself up with his hands again.
"You have great skills and perseverance." Mr. Yu applauded symbolically, "If your opponent wasn't me, you would have escaped long ago."
He also had a lot of wounds on his body, and his mask was cracked in large pieces, but he was obviously much more relaxed than Wen Can.
Wen Can didn't say anything.
Mr. Yu stepped forward again.
After taking two slow steps, a faint voice sounded.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Less than five meters away, the pitch-black muzzle of a gun was pointed at his head.
The girl didn't know when she had gotten so close.
Amid the overturned and smashed tables and chairs, she stared at Wen Can who was breathing heavily by the window with her eyes without any emotion.
Staring at his messy hair, bloodshot lips, and the blood-soaked bandages on his hands.
She stared at Wen Can, but Mr. Yu had no doubt that if he moved his fist again in her peripheral vision, she would shoot without hesitation.
"How could I kill someone? The most I could do is make him unable to move."
Mr. Yu made a gesture of surrender again.
"I don't believe it." The girl said calmly, "Your skills are too terrible. I think he will die if you hit him again."
Mr. Yu sighed: "Okay, I won't come for a while."
"You are joking?"
The bodyguard at the side jumped up with red eyes: "Are you kidding me?! You obeyed a little girl's threats? She is obviously trying to trick you! She won't shoot!"
"She said I can't do it, but she didn't say you can't do it."
Mr. Yu said, "My skills may be able to kill him, but you can't - go and knock down this Master Wen."
"you!"
"Right? This little girl?"
Mr. Yu looked at Ye Kong, his tone somewhat dangerous: "You can't expect us to let you go unscathed just because we both perish together, right? How about we both take a step back? I just need to make sure you lose your strength. It's not my responsibility to arrest you."
"..."
Ye Kong's pupils trembled slightly.
She actually wanted to hand the gun to Wen Can and yell, "Come at me."
But she knew that even this was just a joke, and she could be knocked out by anyone in less than a second.
Ye Kong had never hated her laziness so much. Qu Wu had said many times that he wanted to teach her how to fight but she refused every time.
But Wencan...
Wen Can...
The man chuckled.
It was very short and was soon covered by a cough.
Ye Kong looked up and saw Wen Can standing up straight on the windowsill, then letting go of his hand.
Opposite him, Mr. Yu took a few steps back.
Seeing that Mr. Yu really didn't intend to take action again, the other bodyguard gritted his teeth but could do nothing.
Under the mask, a pair of cloudy eyes filled with surging emotions stared at Wen Can.
After a while, he walked forward.
