Endless Fall - Chapter 196

   Chapter 196 Beauty and the Beast

  New Year’s Eve is approaching, and Lincheng is getting colder.

  The howling wind made the trees rustled, and there was no sound of playing downstairs in the ninth unit, and even fewer residents came in and out.

   Lin Jiao, who got up from the bed, was urged by the doorbell, and walked towards the entrance with sleepy eyes.

  The cold wind rushed in the moment the door opened, like snowflakes falling on the skin, so cold that it made people shiver.

   “Didn’t you go back to the old house?” She rubbed her arms and asked Pei Yilan to come in quickly.

   “I’ll be back tomorrow.” Jiang Ye embraced Pei Yilan, who was wrapped in a bear, and walked towards the living room, which was surging with warmth.

   They took off their down jackets, dressed in suits and evening gowns, and sat side by side on the sofa.

   “Jiaojiao, did you have lunch?” Pei Yilan held the cup to warm her hands, dispelling the chill from her fingertips.

“ate.”

   “I’ll accompany you to change your clothes.”

   Tonight, Chu Yuzhou will organize a party and hold a party at the villa next to the second ring road. The theme is “Beauty and the Beast”.

  Although he didn’t understand why he chose this idea, everyone in the ‘Lincheng Squad’ had no objection, and their enthusiasm was surprisingly high.

   “I don’t know which one to wear.” Lin Jiao chose among the few evening dresses.

   “Champagne or Sapphire?”

   “The skirt is not fluffy enough.”

   Pei Yilan took out a black gauze dress and compared it to her shoulder: “This poncho.”

  This dress is immortal and lustful. Lin Jiao bought it and hasn’t worn it yet, so it just came in handy.

   She walked behind the curtain and put it on, and stood in front of the mirror with her skirt up, showing a satisfied expression: “Help me get the gloves.”

   Pei Yilan opened the second chest of drawers.

   She found the black gauze gloves that matched the evening dress, and slowly put them on her: “Jiaojiao, do you have a crown?”

“Maybe not.”

   “Then I’ll give you a princess haircut.”

   “Okay.” Lin Jiao opened the jewelry cabinet and picked out accessories while the curling iron was heating.

   At Pei Yilan’s suggestion, she put on a flower-shaped necklace and earrings set with fine diamonds, and then sat in front of the dressing table and put on makeup.

   At the same time, Pei Yilan gathered up the long hair on the top of her head and twisted it around her fingertips twice, and then fixed it on the left and right sides with black clips.

  When the heat of the curling iron dissipated, Lin Jiao also put down the makeup brush and went to the last step.

   She put on lipstick: “How is it?”

   “It’s very beautiful.” Pei Yilan combed her curly hair on her shoulders, her eyes full of smiles.

   Leaving the cloakroom, the three people wrapped in down jackets went to the parking lot and arrived at the party location before six o’clock.

  The sky without the sun was overcast with gray, and the cold wind blew the trees in the villa area, which indirectly reduced the feeling of emptiness and desolation.

   A black off-road vehicle drove past the golf course and stopped outside the elegant European-style villa.

  The gentle music came from the house, covering the wind in the ears and the light sound of the trees blowing.

   “Hey!” The man wearing the big-mouthed monkey headgear stuck his head out from behind the door, startling them.

  Lin Jiao’s heartbeat slowed by half a beat.

   She looked up and down at the man in the suit in front of her, guessing based on her body shape and voice: “Chu Yuzhou?”

   “It’s me.” Chu Yuzhou leaned against the door and touched the hair on the top of the monkey’s head: “Is it handsome?”

   “Ugly dead!” Pei Yilan was so frightened that he almost screamed, and ruthlessly demolished the stage.

   “What’s so ugly? Are you blind?”

   “You are blind.”

   “Is there still a headgear?” Jiang Ye was quite interested, and wanted to get one to wear.

  Chu Yuzhou put on his shoulder: “Of course there is.”

   They stepped on the light of the chandeliers, and as soon as they walked to the sofa, they saw a lot of ‘animals’ all looking up.

   Zhou Yanshen, who was wearing a devil rabbit, played with a dagger, and stared straight at Erlang’s legs.

   His grinning bunny mouth had a circle of blood stains, and the horror atmosphere was directly filled, and it looked inexplicably scary.

  Shen Yi on his right was wearing a black rhinoceros, the bull’s eyes were half-squinted, the slightly open long mouth revealed two fangs, and the machete-like bull’s head was placed between his foreheads, and he felt a strong sense of oppression all over his body.

   On the other side, Qu Shao is wearing a pig’s head hood. His pig face has a long scar, and the skin around his eyes and the corner of his mouth is festering. The image is so realistic that people get goosebumps.

   “Jiang Ye, which one do you want?” Qu Shao pointed at the mask and headgear on the coffee table and let him choose at will.

   “The Devil Panda is not bad.”

   “The leopard is cool too.”

  Jiang Ye finally chose the Devil Panda.

   He put on Pei Yilan’s make-up mirror and took a picture. He wanted to take a group photo, only to realize that there was no crowd: “Is Uncle still on the way?”

   “He arrived early.” Zhou Yanshen raised his hand holding the dagger and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

   The moment he raised his eyes, he happened to catch Qian Yue’s gaze: “Want to play with daggers?”

   “I don’t want to.” Qian Yue covered his ear, and her warm breath sprayed: “How long to start?”

   “After dinner.”

   “Is everything ready upstairs?”

   “Well.” Zhou Yan lowered his head deeply, his eyes stopped on her white collarbone: “Are you cold?”

   “It’s not cold, the heating in the room is sufficient.”

   “That’s good.” He brushed the hair from her ear, and the fingertips seemed to be stained with a touch of fragrance, which disturbed his heart unknowingly.

   Qian Yue couldn’t see his expression, let alone how long the line of sight stayed at the collarbone.

   She raised her wine glass and chatted with the two beauties across from her. When she saw Pei Zhi coming out, she raised her chin to remind Lin Jiao.

   A shadow shrouded her, and as soon as Lin Jiao turned her head, she met those dark eyes.

   “Jiaojiao is very beautiful today.” Pei Zhi’s fingertips slid over her shoulder and landed on the black veil, as if helping her organize.

   He was wearing the suit he bought in Paris last time, his hair was well groomed, his shirt collar was buttoned to the top, and a simple and elegant silver tie was pinned to his tie, giving him a formal feel.

   On the straight bridge of the nose, there is a pair of silver thin-rimmed glasses, which glow with a dazzling metallic luster under the chandelier.

  From the glasses down to the cufflinks, everything Lin Jiao likes, she raised a smile: “Why did you remember wearing a tie?”

   “It’s better this way.” Pei Zhi went around the sofa, sat beside her and hugged her: “Does it look good?”

“nice.”

   “I don’t believe it.” He held her hand through gauze gloves: “Unless you kiss me.”

   tried to cheat her kiss again.

  Lin Jiao used ‘too many people’ as an excuse to stuff it and asked him to choose a headgear first: “Wait for you to put it on before we take a group photo.”

   Pei Zhi swept across the coffee table from the corner of his eye.

   He picked up the ferocious looking gray wolf hood, put it on his head slowly, and led his little white rabbit to the center.

   The height-adjusted selfie stick stood in front of the window, and they approached the camera in a standing posture of a woman in front of a man and a man behind, or laughing or joking at the camera.

  “Click—”

  The shutter sounded intermittently.

   Memorable footage was recorded.

  Pressing the remote control Jiang Ye stopped and took off his mobile phone to enjoy the photos with them.

   Laughter filled the villa, they each kept the pictures sent to the group, and went to the dining room with laughter and laughter.
