Chapter 502 Crisis Resolved
Xu Weiwei thought that Finn was not keen on this kind of thing, and it was also her first time dancing with Finn.
Unexpectedly, no matter what style or dance steps, Finn could do it easily, one song after another. People around her came and went, and her partners changed several times, but she and Finn were the only ones who stayed on the stage like nails.
After the third dance, Xu Weiwei couldn't stand the inquiring eyes of the people around her. She was also really tired, so she whispered to Finn: "Let's take a break. We can't dance anymore..."
Finn stared at her, slowly raised his hand, and gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. When he put it down, his fingertips lightly brushed the outer ear and earlobe.
Xu Weiwei's whole body stiffened, half of her body felt numb as if she had been electrocuted, her brain completely shut down, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Finn looked calm, as if what he did just now was unintentional, and he led her out of the center of the ball very naturally.
After leaving everyone's sight, Finn let go of his hand. Xu Weiwei's mind was still confused, and she followed Finn like an animal cub that turned on automatic following.
When I stopped, I found that the music from the banquet was very far away, and it was so quiet around me that I could only hear the whistling of the north wind.
Looking out through the window, Xu Weiwei discovered that heavy snow had started falling outside without her noticing.
Finn folded his arms and bent his knees, leaning against the window, and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"Ok?"
Xu Weiwei was stunned: "I...not, you..."
Seeing her dazed look, Finn couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, which was caught by Xu Weiwei. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and glared at her.
After the joke, the atmosphere between the two was no longer so strange, and Xu Weiwei asked about the business: "Why did you leave without saying anything this morning? So suddenly, you disappeared for a long time, did something happen?"
"fine."
Xu Weiwei didn't believe it at all. How could a normal person behave so abnormally? Women's sixth sense is very accurate.
Finn was unwilling to say, so she began to guess: "Did my brother make you angry? For example... he got too close to girls or something..."
The more Xu Weiwei spoke, the lower her voice became, and she looked around furtively.
After a moment of surprise, Finn immediately became speechless. He tapped Xu Weiwei's forehead twice and said, "Didn't I tell you that it's not true? Don't think about it."
"Then why do you think that is?" Xu Weiwei said, covering her forehead.
Finn was silent for two seconds, then suddenly asked, "Who is that Gantz?"
Xu Weiwei: “…”
What? When she saw him open his mouth, she thought he was finally going to ask the question, but what did he say? Did it have anything to do with her question?
Xu was slightly annoyed: "Good man, man. What's wrong?"
Finn was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He just looked at her expressionlessly without saying anything.
Xu Weiwei persisted for a while, but finally gave in and said angrily, "I'm really impressed by you!"
"Gantz is my father's adopted son, from the planet Gudel. Is that ok?"
Finn lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.
Xu Weiwei was going crazy.
At this moment, there was only one sentence in her mind: You can't make a fart by hitting it with three sticks.
No one could have told her that the male lead was so difficult to deal with! He refused to communicate and played dumb when something went wrong. Where did he learn this? !
"You don't have to say it if you don't want to. Don't be so perfunctory to me."
"..."
Finn spoke in a low voice, and although he was so tall, he exuded a pitiful and submissive aura standing there.
Xu Weiwei felt soft-hearted when she saw him like this. She sighed and then seriously talked about Gantz's origins.
"Gantz is actually the third prince of the planet Gudel. His father, the ruler there, is respected by the locals as the 'Chief'. When he was seven years old..."
The north wind is blowing outside the window, and the snow on the rock bricks has accumulated to calf depth.
Finn listened quietly to Xu Weiwei's story, about the years he had not participated in.
He had never been to the planet Goodall, so he could only roughly imagine the scene described by Selvie in his mind based on the simple text.
A burly middle-aged man with a big beard, a skinny old woman leaning on a cane, wild monkeys jumping up and down, and even a middle-aged aunt who couldn't be more ordinary...
Finn thanks them and hates them, and Gantz is the first to bear the brunt of it.
When talking about things related to this person, Selvie always stands in the perspective of "us", perhaps she herself does not realize this. It is not difficult to see that during the eight years of disappearance and disconnection, the two were inseparable and their lives overlapped to a large extent.
A wisp of depressed energy was accumulating in his chest. Finn took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"So, he is indeed a good man."
"Of course. Why, you didn't believe me when I told you the first time?" Xu Weiwei asked, tilting her head.
"No, just curious."
Xu Weiwei nodded in understanding: "Many people were curious after hearing that Gantz was from our family. After all, we don't look alike at all. Some people even guessed that he was his father's illegitimate son who was left alone."
Finn smiled faintly and asked, "He's been out for so long, doesn't he miss home? When are you planning to send him back?"
"Well... the situation is a bit complicated. Anyway, Gantz should be developing in the Imperial Star for the next few years."
"He has been entered into the population system of the Imperial Capital Star and is registered under my father's name. So, nominally, he is my biological brother. My father and mother will train him as if he were their own child."
The expression on Finn's face finally changed significantly, and his lips opened slightly, looking surprised.
Xu Weiwei was confused: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Finn smiled and said, "I thought it was just a nominal adoption, but I didn't expect General Seaforth to actually go through the formalities. He is very courageous and admirable."
"No matter how much we talk, it won't be any use as long as we take actual action. Gantz has taken such good care of me, and we've been like family over the years. It's only natural for us to become a real family." Xu shrugged slightly.
Finn nodded, his eyes sparkling: "Yeah, that makes sense."
"Hiss..." Xu rubbed his chin, "Why do I feel like you're suddenly more energetic? Just like, just like... you're full of life."
"So you've been hiding something from me before, right? I've said everything, now it's your turn to tell me why you're acting so abnormal today?"
A light laugh escaped from Finn's throat: "Because..."
"Okay! I understand! But sometimes the truth of things is not what we see with our naked eyes. Communication can solve 99% of the problems. What do you think? Let's find a place with stools to sit down. Maybe you want to go and have a chat with Gantz?..."
Xu Weiwei suddenly grabbed Finn's arm, and while mumbling something that Finn couldn't understand, she led the person inside.
Finn wanted to look back, but as soon as he turned his head, Xu Weiwei screamed and covered her feet.
"I have a cramp! It hurts so much..."
Finn knew it well, so he suppressed his smile again and again, squatted down and said, "Maybe you just stood for too long, blame me, can you still walk?"
"Is that ok? I think... you should hold me tight..."
Since Selvie wanted to hide it, he would not watch it. He had no time to care about what happened behind the scenes. Right now, he preferred to act with the little fox and watch her use her poor acting skills to keep his attention.
