Chapter 328 Kiss
The auction for the charity dinner continues.
Chen Lun withdrew his thoughts and temporarily put them in his heart. He planned to tell the circus his decision after returning to the winery.
At this time.
On the auction stage, the host said in a passionate tone:
"The next lot is from the Harrington family, one of the organizers of our charity dinner, Ms. Tracy's collection of cosmetics - 'Azt' custom lipstick!"
He waved his hand, and two ladies in red uniforms came onto the stage holding a high-end wooden gift box and a lipstick decorated with broken gemstones and made of gold.
"'Azt' is the most famous top brand in Wangcheng, and the high society ladies and ladies are crazy about it, even the Duchess of the Sun Royal Family once praised it... This custom lipstick was made by Miss Tracy last year, and It was a birthday present when I was 18 years old, it has never been opened, and it has been treasured up to now, and its value is extremely high.”
The host holds a microphone and explains to everyone.
"The starting price is 560 gold pounds, and each increase must not be less than 10 gold pounds!"
"570 gold pounds!"
"580 gold pounds!"
"600 gold pounds!"
As the auction started, many gentlemen off the stage began to raise their hands and shout their prices. Most of them were signaled by the eyes of their wives or daughters, and the other half were to win the favor of Miss Tracy.
Chen Lun glanced at Floyd next to her, and saw that she was facing the one-way French window, with a dazed expression, and couldn't help smiling.
He picked up the square box-shaped microphone beside the sofa, pressed the button, and said softly:
"1000 gold pounds."
The auction stage below fell into a sudden silence.
Many VIPs looked up to the second floor. They didn't know who the bidders were, but most of the people who could sit in the box were big shots with higher status.
They stopped the price increase, not because they thought it was too expensive, but because they didn't want to cause displeasure to the big shots because of a lipstick. Only Tracy and Hoyle, sitting in the front seat, knew who the bidder had just been.
Miss Tracy's expression was a bit complicated. She glanced at the opaque black glass window on the second floor, and sighed secretly...
"Mr. Jack, it's for his female companion...that blind lady named Floyd."
The host came back to his senses and cleverly smoothed things over.
"The distinguished guests in the second box directly bid 1,000 gold pounds! Wow! It seems that Miss Tracy is very popular!"
Many gentlemen and ladies present cast meaningful glances at Tracy, but Tracy himself just squeezed out a smile, and the bitter taste gradually spread in his heart.
Soon, the host hammered the hammer.
Tracey came to the second floor with two maids in red uniforms, and knocked on the door of Chen Lun's room.
"Mr. Jack, thank you for your support for this dinner. On behalf of the residents of Peacock City, I would like to thank you."
Tracey smiled reluctantly, and handed over the lipstick with her own hands.
After Chen Lun took it, he noticed that the other party was in a low mood, but he didn't make a sound to comfort him, but replied politely:
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort."
Tracey felt extremely sad in her heart, but she still held on to her skirt and saluted, and then led the people away.
Until the door closes again.
Froy's ethereal voice came:
"She seems to like you very much."
"Maybe it's just your illusion."
Chen Lun responded, smiling and looking at Floyd.
Floy shook her head and said with certainty:
"I can feel her depressed mood, it is a kind of disappointment and pain that I can't ask for."
Chen Lun played with the exquisite lipstick worth an entire winery in his hand, and said slowly:
"I have always only regarded Miss Terrier as a friend, she may have misunderstood me...Floye, my heart is too small, there is only room for one person."
Floy stared blankly at him, the blush on her cheeks gradually revealed.
Chen Lun couldn't help but secretly sighed when he saw such a beautiful scenery.
He handed over the lipstick, chuckled and said:
"I just saw that you seem to be very interested in it, and I will give it to you."
Floy pursed her lips and said with some hesitation:
"1000 gold pounds, you don't need to spend so much money for me... Besides, I have never used this kind of thing."
"No, I don't even think it suits you, Floy."
Seeing this, Chen Lun twisted off the lipstick and brought it to Floy's lips.
"If you haven't used it, try it. At the beginning of the empire, this kind of thing was even considered by the world to be the power that women borrowed from the devil... an evil power used to seduce men, because few men could resist it at that time charm."
The bright red ointment column lightly touched Floy's moist lips, and slowly applied it under Chen Lun's fine and steady pressure.
During this process, Chen Lun also softly explained to Floyd:
"In the more distant era, the technology at the bottom of the empire was still very backward. At that time, lipsticks would use materials such as spermaceti, white jade powder, red ochre, and even crocodile dung and lead, which were harmful to the human body... But the determination of human beings to pursue beauty will make these Neglect side effects."
Floy's expression became more gentle, and she felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up. Listening to the deep voice that was so close at hand, feeling the familiar and reassuring breath, the whole person seemed to be flying high into the sky, flying towards her final destination, the moon.
She seemed to see a ray of light in the endless darkness, warm and hot.
That was the light she was chasing and guarding, the light emitted by Master Jack.
is also called the unchanging light until death.
After a while.
"do I look good?"
Floy sat on the sofa, pursed her lips lightly, and asked aloud.
A long while.
The voice sounded again, even with a hint of surprise in its tone.
"Of course...no one looks better than you."
Turn, become more depressed.
"I also finally understand why people say it is an evil force, Floy."
next moment.
Floy felt her own lips covered with a layer of warmth.
The familiar breath is getting closer.
The beam of light shone in the darkness and hit her face. It wasn't glaring, only gentle, friendly, and comfortable.
Floy seemed to have forgotten everything at this moment, only the heartbeat from her ears remained, which gradually overlapped with her own, forming a tacit resonance song.
I don't know how long it has passed.
Froy came to her senses, she found that she was leaning against a warm embrace, and Master Jack's chuckle came from above her head:
"Sorry, Floyd, I was bewitched by your evil power."
Floy laughed out loud.
She didn't speak, but silently put the bracelet on the back of the man in front of her, and hugged her tightly.
The two of them stopped talking, as if tacitly not to spoil the atmosphere at the moment.
After a while.
Floy sat up from Chen Lun's arms, raised her head, blushed and said softly:
"Master Jack, thank you."
Chen Lun looked down at the girl and was amazed again. Long light golden hair coiled up, a few strands in a mess, falling from one side of the ear, flushed on the fair and delicate face, under the tall little nose, is the bright red lips... just a smear of red ointment from the The corners of its mouth cross the border, adding a touch of comicality while being too beautiful.
That was his masterpiece.
It’s not uneven application, it’s…
"What's wrong?"
Floy noticed something, and asked in doubt.
Chen Lun used his thumb to wipe off the excess redness around her lips, then wiped the color on his own lips, and said with a light smile:
"It's nothing, I just think that although the smell of roses is good, it's not as good as the breath on your body."
Floy knew he was talking about the smell of lipstick.
She felt the joy in her heart, which was stronger than the sum of the past.

In the subsequent auction, Chen Lun did not make too many bids, but at the end of the auction, he took a fancy to a small retro wooden old bookcase, and spent 300 gold pounds to acquire it.
When Hoyle led two male waiters to bring the bookcase up, Chen Lun discovered that there were more than a dozen old books attached to it. He flipped through it casually, but was surprised to receive a prompt box on the panel, one of which turned out to be a mysterious book.
‘From the general content, it can be inferred that this is a book that contains the extraordinary knowledge of the deep-sea faction. If there is no accident, it is about [Sequence 8-Navigator]. '
Chen Lun was quite satisfied with this surprise.
Perhaps the original owner who sold this bookcase did not know the value of this mysterious book, so he managed to pick it up once. Not much to make, but enough to be enjoyable.
And it happens to be the deep sea faction that is missing from all the Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge that Chen Lun has collected.
‘At present, there is still a lack of the sun, the deep sea, the earth, and magic. You can gather ten paths of Sequence 8 extraordinary knowledge. With this mysterious book, there are still three paths left. '
he thought.
After the auction ended, the charity dinner continued. The purpose was to set aside a period of "communication time" for the guests present, so that this group of gentlemen and ladies could exchange ideas about the collection. Of course, this was just a polite statement.
In fact, it is to get acquainted with each other and increase the chances of contact and cooperation between each other.
Chen Lun was not interested in this. After taking back the little white snake in the private room next door, he took Floy to leave early.
After getting out of the box and going downstairs, he saw Hoyle and Tracy chatting and laughing with several gentlemen and ladies in the hall, so he didn't go to bother him, he found a few male waiters at random, and gave two silver medals For a tip, let them move the bookcase they photographed outside to the carriage.
When Chen Lun and Floyd were about to board the carriage, a tall and thin middle-aged man in an orthodox suit came to Chen Lun, took off his hat very politely, and stretched out his hand.
"Meet you for the first time, Mr. Jack Speight, Amos, the head of the asylum, can I take up a little of your precious time?"
The man smiled, and his tone was very sincere.
Chen Lun patted the back of Floyd's hand lightly twice. The latter smiled, and tacitly let go of his arm, and got into the carriage by himself.
Afterwards, Chen Lun followed Amos and slowly walked aside.
"Would you like one?"
Amos took out a pack of cheap cigarettes and asked.
Chen Lun smiled politely and waved his hand to decline.
"Sorry, I smoked these cheap cigarettes when I was young and got used to it."
Amos thought that Chen Lun disliked the low-grade cigarettes, so after lighting one for himself, he explained with a chuckle.
But Chen Lun shook his head.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Amos, I just don't smoke."
"I see."
Amos showed an enlightened expression.
The two walked all the way to the bottom of a remote tree in the distance. During this process, neither side took the initiative to make a sound.
It wasn't until Amos finished smoking a cigarette that he said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Jack Speight, Miss Mona recommended you to join the Imperial Jury, do you know about this?"
Chen Lun couldn't help being shocked, but he remained calm on the surface.
After thinking for a moment, he deliberately showed surprise.
"Huh? Sorry, I don't know."
"I won't hide it, Mr. Jack, actually I belong to the same camp as Ms. Mona, the so-called 'conservatives'. Now about your matter, there has been a lot of commotion in the upper echelons of the shelter. ...But the specific result has not yet been settled, it depends on whether you can make some big things that are beneficial to the empire."
Amos' expression became serious.
"Conservative members, including me, actually know about your past deeds, and hope that you can join the Imperial Jury...but you are not an internal member after all, so this matter is extremely difficult."
Chen Lun suddenly fell into deep thought.

The purpose was to set aside a period of "communication time" for the guests present, so that this group of gentlemen and ladies could exchange ideas about the collection. Of course, this was just a polite statement.In fact, it is to get acquainted with each other and increase the chances of contact and cooperation between each other.Chen Lun was not interested in this. After taking back the little white snake in the private room next door, he took Floy to leave early.After getting out of the box and going downstairs, he saw Hoyle and Tracy chatting and laughing with several gentlemen and ladies in the hall, so he didn't go to bother him, he found a few male waiters at random, and gave two silver medals For a tip, let them move the bookcase they photographed outside to the carriage.When Chen Lun and Floyd were about to board the carriage, a tall and thin middle-aged man in an orthodox suit came to Chen Lun, took off his hat very politely, and stretched out his hand."Meet you for the first time, Mr. Jack Speight, Amos, the head of the asylum, can I take up a little of your precious time?"The man smiled, and his tone was very sincere.Chen Lun patted the back of Floyd's hand lightly twice. The latter smiled, and tacitly let go of his arm, and got into the carriage by himself.Afterwards, Chen Lun followed Amos and slowly walked aside."Would you like one?"Amos took out a pack of cheap cigarettes and asked.Chen Lun smiled politely and waved his hand to decline."Sorry, I smoked these cheap cigarettes when I was young and got used to it."Amos thought that Chen Lun disliked the low-grade cigarettes, so after lighting one for himself, he explained with a chuckle.But Chen Lun shook his head."Don't get me wrong, Mr. Amos, I just don't smoke.""I see."Amos showed an enlightened expression.The two walked all the way to the bottom of a remote tree in the distance. During this process, neither side took the initiative to make a sound.It wasn't until Amos finished smoking a cigarette that he said in a deep voice:"Mr. Jack Speight, Miss Mona recommended you to join the Imperial Jury, do you know about this?"Chen Lun couldn't help being shocked, but he remained calm on the surface.After thinking for a moment, he deliberately showed surprise."Huh? Sorry, I don't know.""I won't hide it, Mr. Jack, actually I belong to the same camp as Ms. Mona, the so-called 'conservatives'. Now about your matter, there has been a lot of commotion in the upper echelons of the shelter. ...But the specific result has not yet been settled, it depends on whether you can make some big things that are beneficial to the empire."Amos' expression became serious."Conservative members, including me, actually know about your past deeds, and hope that you can join the Imperial Jury...but you are not an internal member after all, so this matter is extremely difficult."Chen Lun suddenly fell into deep thought.end of this chapter
