Chapter 204 - Mask Ball

That person was dressed in a blue suit, and there was a complicated mask on his face. The gaze he used to look at Lin Sitong with was one of amazement.

"Who are you?" Lin Sitong looked at the person in front of him vigilantly.

The person seemed to be shocked by Lin Sitong's reaction, her exposed lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

For some reason, this smile gave Lin Sitong a strange sense of familiarity.

Could it be …

Lin Sitong couldn't help but narrow her eyes in danger.

Just then, the man lightly raised a finger and placed it on his lips, making a "hush" gesture. Then, a quiet, hoarse voice sounded out, "Can't find a place? I'll take you there. "

This voice suddenly sounded, causing Lin Sitong to have a strange feeling in her heart.

Was that feeling of familiarity an illusion? This person's voice was completely different from Pei Qingheng's …

It seemed that he had recognized the wrong person …

Lin Sitong pursed her lips, it was unknown if she was feeling a little better or was feeling a little more disappointed, but the light in her eyes now seemed a little dim.

"I'll take you there." the man said again.

Lin Sitong was spirited again, and smiled to the man: "Then I'll be troubling you."

Following behind him, Lin Sitong only took a few steps before arriving at a door.

Lin Sitong couldn't help but sweat a little. She didn't expect that the real place would be so close to him.

Lin Sitong lifted her head and said gratefully to the man: "Thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't even know when I would have found you."

The man chuckled and shook his head.

"Lady, are you at the ball? Please come with me to get your mask. " A waiter walked over and said politely.

Lin Sitong nodded her head. Just as she was about to bid farewell to the man, she heard the man's low and hoarse voice: "You look really beautiful in formal attire, Tong."

Dong?!

Lin Sitong opened her eyes wide in shock. Before she even had the chance to ask, the man had already disappeared into the darkness of the ball.

"Miss, this way please." The waiter at the side said.

Lin Sitong casually nodded her head, and followed the waiter to retrieve his mask as if his soul had left his body. However, her mind kept on thinking about what the man had said.

Who was that man? How did he know his name?

Finally, Lin Sitong found the mask with the blue cat's eye stone that Ling Xiaorui had mentioned before. She let out a deep breath, put on his mask, pushed open the door, and walked into the venue for the ball.

On the dance floor in the center, countless of people wore exquisite and luxurious masks on their faces. They wore expensive looking Clothes s and danced gracefully to the music.

There were also some people who were probably not waiting for their 'other half' and were either chatting or drinking at the edge of the dance floor.

Lin Sitong tried to find the man that just brought him here, but there were many people present at the ball, and the scene was so dark that Lin Sitong had no choice but to give up her plans and turn around to find a dessert table.

Let's fill our stomachs first...

Just as he finished his work and was dragged here by Ling Xiaorui, his stomach was already flat from hunger.

"This beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Lin Sitong.

Lin Sitong turned her head in surprise, and saw a mask that looked similar to him, also inlaid with a blue Cat's Eye Stone.

However, compared to the mask on his face, the mask on his face seemed to be simpler.

Lin Sitong retorted without thinking, "You, made me come and find you at the prom, but didn't tell me where it was, and almost caused me to get lost!"

"Sorry." The other party immediately apologized to Lin Sitong, then bowed gracefully towards Lin Sitong and extended her hand out. Her two eyes looked at Lin Sitong through the mask and repeated, "This beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"

"We really have to dance …" Lin Sitong's voice sounded a little awkward, "Let me tell you, I can only waltz, and I'm not very proficient at it!"

"It doesn't matter." The other party seemed to be smiling, his voice also carrying a hint of a smile. "Since you're already here, why don't you enjoy this elegant music and dance?"

Not Ling Xiaorui?!

Lin Sitong suddenly sensed something.

But before Lin Sitong could refuse, in the next second, Lin Sitong was gently pulled by the other party's hand and instantly pulled into the dance stage.

Following which, the music on the dance floor transformed into the waltz that Lin Sitong was familiar with.

"Pei Qingheng?!"

No matter how slow Lin Sitong's reaction was, she realized that the one dancing with him was not Ling Xiaorui, but Pei Qingheng!

Just as she was about to push Pei Qingheng away, Pei Qingheng suddenly pulled her into his embrace in the next second.

The voice that had returned to a clear and cold tone once again sounded beside Lin Sitong's ears: "At least, accompany me to finish this waltz."

Lin Sitong pursed her lips, but still slowly relaxed.

Amidst the soothing and elegant music, Lin Sitong subconsciously followed Pei Qingheng's footsteps as she stepped forward.

"Do you know? The meaning of a waltz. " Pei Qingheng suddenly said.

Lin Sitong replied coldly, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Lin Sitong seemed to have heard Pei Qingheng sigh softly, but she continued to speak, "The waltz is the first dance in the history of human beings that allows them to come into close contact with the opposite sex. Previously, couples could not meet in public, and only through such parties could one express one's longing for another. Only by giving your hand to the person you love the most can you make the most beautiful turns. "

Only by giving her hand to the person she loved the most could she make the most beautiful round turns?

All sorts of emotions were entangled within Lin Sitong's heart.

She suddenly hated herself. She clearly said that she would stay far away from Pei Qingheng. But why was she still happy when she heard him say that?

At this moment, the music on the dance floor changed to another one.

Lin Sitong stopped walking and looked at Pei Qingheng: "But, what does this have to do with us?"

"Stone!"

"You and Ling Xiaorui had discussed this a long time ago?!" Lin Sitong still could not believe it, there was anger in her voice.

"I'm sorry, Stone." Pei Qingheng immediately apologized, "It's just that in this period of time, I have not been able to see you, so … This is the only way. "

"Pei Qingheng, you are deceiving me, do you know that?!" Lin Sitong said angrily.

Even with the mask on, Pei Qingheng could still see the anger in Lin Sitong's eyes.
