sjar Chapter 570 Float Parade
Chapter 570 Float Parade
The annual celebration is about to begin.
It is said that it was to celebrate the founding emperor of the empire and his partner, who led their companions to overthrow the corrupt and incompetent rulers, and established their own country here with the two god-level mechas, Yueyin and Xingyao.
This day.
There will be a parade of floats on the main road near the main star palace.
There will be specific people who dress up as the founding emperor and his partner, plus several companions recorded in history, and then try to fit their personalities as much as possible, perform on floats, and interact with the people around them.
The decorations on each float will fit the life experiences and preferences of each of these people.
Some are decorated with gold and jewels, looking magnificent, some look fairy-like, and some are embellished with flowers and colorful ribbons.
In short.
Very watchable.
Therefore, there was a large flow of people on the main road near the palace. Early in the morning, the sheriff brought his guards there to maintain order in order to prevent stampedes.
Lu Chihuan refreshed the star network.
It was discovered that the people of the empire on the Star Network were welcoming the celebration with great enthusiasm. Major shopping malls and well-known stores also launched 20% off events. There were even children dressed up as the traditional images of the founding emperor and his companions.
Lu Chihuan's eyes swept across the photos, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
next moment.
Zhou Zhi placed the steaming hot cocoa on the table next to Lu Chihuan.
He seemed to notice the image on the screen of Lu Chihuan's communicator.
So he bent down.
The big hand with distinct joints was supported on the table, and the body was slightly leaning forward. This posture almost blocked Lu Chihuan between the table and his chest. The familiar smell of ebony and agarwood assaulted him, leaving Lu Chihuan with almost nowhere to escape.
"Want to go?"
The voice was low and cold.
It sounded almost right next to Lu Chihuan's ear, making his ears slightly numb.
Lu Chihuan struggled.
But Zhou Zhi didn't mean to retreat at all. He lowered his eyes and stared at Lu Chihuan with his light grey eyes.
His eyes seemed somewhat focused.
So Lu Chihuan could only curl up obediently in Zhou Zhi's arms, then look up at Zhou Zhi's clean and neat jawline, and his thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled a few times.
A moment later.
Then he replied with a soft nasal voice, "Yeah."
“I kind of want to go.”
He had only stayed in the main world for a few months before, and then he was stranded on a deserted planet due to an accident. Later, he went to Stuhai to find the mother stone, so he had never participated in such a grand and lively celebration.
original.
Lu Chihuan is a playful person.
During this period of time, I have been suppressed for a long time by the responsibilities given by the world consciousness, and I cannot leave the palace because of the pheromone problem.
So he had been holding it in for a long time.
"Then go."
Zhou Zhi pinched Lu Chihuan's red earlobe with his slender and powerful fingers. His tone sounded light, yet decisive.
As soon as these words came out.
Instead, it was Lu Chihuan who hesitated.
"But the matter of Ah Huai has not been resolved yet. I'm worried that he will stir up some big trouble here while we are not in the palace. If we don't come back in time..."
Zhou Zhi lowered his eyes.
The warm fingertips slowly smoothed out the small bumps on Lu Chihuan's brows that were caused by frowning, and his voice remained calm.
"Don't worry."
"Ahuai shouldn't attack the palace again. What happened a few days ago was just an accident."
Zhou Zhi said this with great confidence.
Before Lu Chihuan could ask why, Zhou Zhi spoke again calmly:
"and--"
"The guards who were patrolling yesterday sent me news that they saw suspicious figures on the parade route. They are suspected to be the priests who sneaked into the main planet. So we are accompanying you not only to have fun, but also to look for clues."
Lu Chihuan heard it.
His expression became more serious.
What were the priests under Ah Huai doing on this main street with such heavy traffic? They couldn't possibly be here to attend the celebration.
For an instant.
He couldn't help but think of cases like explosions and poisonings that had appeared in previous TV dramas. If there were too many people, it would not only be easier to attack, but it would also be particularly convenient for them to escape arrest.
At this moment, Lu Chihuan couldn't sit still anymore.
"Row."
"Let's go to that main street and take a look at the situation. If those priests really did something to cause a major accident, we should be able to solve it smoothly with our power."
talking.
He immediately took out his clothes from the closet and planned to change out of his pajamas.
I just unbuttoned a few buttons.
Lu Chihuan felt the deep and burning gaze resting on him.
He turned his head and looked at Zhou Zhi who was not far away.
Zhou Zhi was seen leaning on the table rather lazily, with his arms crossed, and his pair of slightly cold light grey eyes were staring straight at him, with a look of composure and appreciation in them.
"cough."
Lu Chihuan coughed dryly and said, "Don't look at it."
"Turn around."
Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seemed that she really wanted to tell Lu Chihuan that a few days ago, when he got drunk and his pheromones were out of control and he fell asleep, she not only changed his clothes with her own hands, but also simply wiped his body with a towel to prevent him from smelling of alcohol.
and so.
I have seen everything that I should see and shouldn’t see.
There is no need to hide.
But he looked at Lu Chihuan's expression, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and finally swallowed his words, not saying anything.
And he turned around obediently.
Lu Chihuan quickly took off his pajamas, changed into going-out clothes, and walked a few steps to Zhou Zhi's side.
After he gulped down the cup of hot cocoa poured by Zhou Zhi, he pursed his lips and gently placed the cup on the table.
"All right."
"Let's go now."
Zhou Zhi's gaze slid across the cup of hot cocoa, and then gently fell on Lu Chihuan's lips. It seemed that Lu Chihuan's action made him feel much better, and his cold and sharp eyes obviously softened a little.
He brushed the corner of Lu Chihuan's lips with his fingertips.
After brushing off the hot cocoa on it, he nodded gently.
"it is good."
The two men left the palace without any guards. Even if there were guards, they would probably have just hidden not too far away to avoid causing too much commotion and attracting the attention of the public.
Lu Chihuan and Zhou Zhi were weaving through the crowd. Because the flow of people on the main street was too large, Zhou Zhi easily grabbed Lu Chihuan's wrist to prevent him from getting lost accidentally.
Lu Chihuan turned his wrist uncomfortably.
finally.
Nothing was said.
Not long after, he was attracted by the various mobile snack stalls nearby. He stopped unconsciously, his eyes sparkling, "Boss, I want this."
"and this."
After saying these words.
Lu Chihuan turned his head slyly and blinked at Zhou Zhi, revealing the dimples at the corners of his lips. He looked like a little fox playing rogue.
“The guy behind me pays.”
Zhou Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He held out his hand with familiarity.
I tapped my communicator on the payment machine, and a few seconds later, the payment machine emitted an electronic sound of "payment successful".
Because I want to eat some too.
I want to eat some too.
So Lu Chihuan's hands were soon filled with snacks of all sizes.
But he couldn't finish it, so he had to put an octopus ball on a bamboo skewer and handed it to Zhou Zhi's lips, smiling and wanting Zhou Zhi to help him share some of the meal.
"Brother Zhou."
"Open your mouth."
"Try the taste of this meatball."
Lu Chihuan originally had red lips and white teeth, a beauty that transcended her gender. Now, when she smiled, her clear almond-shaped eyes curved unconsciously, and the dimples at the corners of her lips were soft and obedient.
For an instant.
Zhou Zhi's heart was in turmoil.
He almost didn't hear what Lu Chihuan said, and opened his mouth expressionlessly and bit the octopus ball into his mouth. He chewed it mechanically for a few times, and then swallowed it slowly.
"How does it taste?"
Lu Chihuan tilted his head.
Then he handed a bunch of smaller candied strawberries to Zhou Zhi, "Would you like to try this? I think it tastes good too."
Zhou Zhi was silent for a moment.
He had already seen through Lu Chihuan's trick, but after his Adam's apple rolled a few times, he finally replied:
"Ah."
After several rounds of this.
Lu Chihuan asked Zhou Zhi to help him finish all the food he couldn't finish.
"Cough cough."
Lu Chihuan realized it belatedly and felt a little guilty. He stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek a few times in embarrassment, then grabbed the corner of Zhou Zhi's clothes with his fingertips and shook it a few times, "Brother Zhou, are you thirsty? Do you want me to buy you a bottle of water?"
Zhou Zhi shook his head.
His eyes briefly glanced at Lu Chihuan's wet red lips.
Then he looked at the time displayed on his communicator. The voice sounded steady and calm, "The parade will start soon. Let's find a suitable place nearby and sit down to watch the parade."
The nearby restaurants should have private rooms with windows facing the main street.
They can sit there.
"it is good."
Lu Chihuan nodded.
It's not easy to get out.
He didn't want to miss the parade, and if he found a fixed place to sit down now, he could always observe the movements of the priests. This way he killed two birds with one stone.
After he agreed.
The two of them walked towards a nearby restaurant.
However, after walking a few steps, someone came running towards them from the opposite direction in a hurry, holding a pile of things.
The other party's steps were hurried.
It seemed that he was talking to someone on the communicator. The voice sounded as if he was about to cry, "…What should I do? The parade is about to start, but Sokka said he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and hasn't come out since he went to the toilet…"
Because it runs very fast.
Plus, he wasn't paying attention to the road.
He suddenly bumped into Zhou Zhi, staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground involuntarily, with the things in his hands scattered all over the floor.
It looks messy.
"Hug, sorry."
"I did not do it on purpose!"
When that person looked up, he saw Zhou Zhi's indifferent and stern face. He was so scared that he trembled all over and quickly stammered to apologize, just like a timid chipmunk.
He swallowed.
He turned around and explained to his companion on the communicator, "No, it's okay, I just fell down accidentally, I'll be here soon..."
talking.
The man lowered his head again and hurriedly picked up the things on the ground.
However, the things he had been holding in his arms seemed to be clothes, accessories or props, so they were very light. They rolled around with a slight breeze and could be stepped on by passers-by if they were not careful.
"Eh--"
Seeing that a small and exquisite ornament was about to be stepped on by a passerby, the man couldn't help but let out a cry of annoyance.
But the next moment.
A slender white hand picked up the ornament first and handed it to him, "Fortunately it's not broken."
"for you."
Lu Chihuan saw that the man was having a lot of trouble picking up things. In addition, the ornaments that fell on the ground looked very delicate. They must have taken a lot of time to make. It would be a pity if they were broken.
therefore.
His heart couldn't help but soften.
He now took the initiative to help the man pick up the things and handed them over.
However, what surprised Lu Chihuan was that after the man raised his head, he stared at his face in a daze for a long time, and then a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.
The next moment, he grabbed Lu Chihuan's hands with both hands.
"found it!"
"This face looks perfect. It's easy to find. Looks like I don't have to worry about this. The parade will be ruined in my hands!"
Lu Chihuan listened to his weird words and quickly pulled his hand back.
Then he hid behind Zhou Zhi.
He stuck out half of his face.
He looked at the agitated man with a vigilant and defensive gaze, as if he suspected that he had met a mentally ill patient.
The man coughed awkwardly.
After picking up all the things and putting them back into the box he was holding, he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said politely to Lu Chihuan, "Please don't misunderstand."
"I'm not a bad person."
"I am actually Alvin, the person in charge of organizing the float parade this time."
"It's just that one of the people who was originally scheduled to attend the event has not come yet because of abdominal pain. Seeing that the parade is about to start, I am really anxious."
"after all."
"If something unexpected happens, the parade may be postponed or even cancelled."
Speaking of it.
Alvin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But when he saw Lu Chihuan, that bitter smile turned into an excited smile, "But thanks to the Emperor's blessing, I actually met you."
"Your appearance and temperament are very suitable for the companion of the founding emperor you need to play. I wonder if you are interested in sitting on a float and participating in the parade. If possible--"
"I hope you can help me with this."
