127: Perfect fit

Xu Ning replied, "I'm not sure, but he looks like he's from Eagle Country, and seeing him just makes me uncomfortable."

Kadeyafu asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xu Ning replied curtly, "Because he makes me sick."

Kadeyafu was speechless for a moment.

After a while, a well-dressed host walked into the hall holding a microphone. He walked onto the stage, announced that the ball was about to begin, and highly praised the hostess of the evening, Miss Talia.

Xu Ning saw Harvey, who had returned from the restroom, in the crowd.

He thought to himself, if Harvey goes to see Talia with me, she will definitely choose him. I have to find a way to stop him. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he had an idea.

So he walked through the crowd and quietly approached Harvey.

After the host finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, officially announced the start of the ball, and introduced the hostess of the evening, Miss Talia.

Harvey was ready and walked directly towards Miss Talia. He had already established contact with Miss Talia as the first person to invite a dance partner, and he planned to continue doing so today.

Harvey was confident that he could win Talia's favor tonight. However, as he walked through the crowd towards her, Talia also noticed him. Their eyes met, and both of them smiled.

The people around them noticed this scene, and those who had intended to approach stopped in their tracks. After all, no one wanted to offend someone from a powerful country.

Harvey noticed the reactions of the crowd and held his head higher. Just then, Xu Ning quietly came up beside him and whispered in his ear, "Mr., your fly is down."

Harvey was stunned. Before he could see who had reminded him, he immediately looked down to check. Being his usual meticulous self, he couldn't believe he would make such a basic mistake.

However, when he looked closely, he found that the zipper was actually in the correct position and there was no mistake.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Talia looking in surprise at an Asian young man on the other side who was inviting her to dance. This scene made Harvey feel dizzy, his chest felt heavy as if something was pressing down on it, and his breathing quickened.

At the same time, Xu Ning asked gently in fluent russian, "Beautiful lady, would you like to dance with me?"

Talia recovered from her initial surprise and nodded with a slight hesitation, accepting the invitation. This scene was seen by Harvey, who had just regained consciousness, and his heart was filled with anger, secretly vowing to get revenge.

Even God can't help you now!

A fierce light flashed in Harvey's eyes, and his hand involuntarily reached into hisArms.

But he immediately realized that in order to pass the security check smoothly, he had not brought his beloved pistol this time.

...

On the other side, Xu Ning held the soft and delicate little hand, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart. The music was about to start, and only then did he suddenly remember that he actually couldn't dance at all.

He only knew a little about waltzes and Latin dances; he couldn't dance them at all.

But facing Talia's expectant eyes, he could no longer back down.

"You look a little nervous, are you okay?" Talia noticed Xu Ning's change and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl up close, I'm a little dazed." Xu Ning quickly adjusted his mindset and replied casually.

"Xie Xie." Talia responded with a smile.

As the daughter of Klayak, the leader of Utopia, she had heard countless compliments, but Xu Ning's words made her feel different.

Her heart felt a warmth and flutter.

This was not surprising, because Xu Ning's face was like an ancient Greek sculpture, with a blend of strength and softness, and he was a rare handsome man even here.

Coupled with his unique skin tone, in Talia's opinion, it added a bit of exotic charm.

As the music started in the hall, Xu Ning had prepared for the worst.

However, the music suddenly changed, becoming passionate, and the electronic drum beats struck everyone's hearts like heavy hammers.

Everyone looked surprised. This was a style of music they had never heard at a ball before.

Hearing this prelude, Harvey was first stunned, then a mocking smile appeared on his face.

He had been filled with anger and wanted to deal with Xu Ning, but at this moment, he was just waiting to see Xu Ning make a fool of himself.

Xu Ning was also stunned: "This is..."

"This should be a song specially chosen by Mr. Harvey. He said before that he wanted me to experience Western music style." Talia explained, "He said it's called rock and roll."

"Do you want me to have someone change the song?"

"No need, let's just keep it like this."

Xu Ning smiled, his heart filled with joy. Since he was going to be wild once, why not choose a song that was more suitable for a carnival?

As the melody began, Xu Ning immediately felt that this song was unusually familiar. He remembered that this song had appeared in a classic movie he really liked. At that time, he was still a young man living in Beijing, and this movie had given him a lot of comfort on lonely nights.

Following the familiar melody, Xu Ning couldn't help but imitate the dance steps of the male protagonist John in the movie. Talia opposite him watched with wide eyes. This kind of dance was completely new to her, but for some reason, it perfectly matched the music.

Infected, Talia also began to imitate Xu Ning's movements and danced to the music. The people in the audience all watched them in surprise.

Xu Ning imitated the scene in the movie and made a scissor gesture with his fingers. Talia also followed suit. Their eyes met, and it seemed that a different kind of spark was ignited.

Talia couldn't help but laugh. She had never felt so novel before. At this moment, she felt happier than ever.

Her gaze lingered on Xu Ning, and her heart beat faster, as if it would leap out of her chest at any moment.

Despite this, Kadeyafu still held out hope, expecting Xu Ning to win Talia's favor and bring some positive results to this meeting.

Whether Xu Ning could win her over or not, for Kadeyafu, this was originally a distant dream. He only hoped that Xu Ning could interact more with Miss Talia so that he himself could more easily approach Makarov.

However, when the prelude to the music on the stage began, Kadeyafu's last bit of hope was also shattered. This was not the classical melody he was familiar with.

Bear Country's social dances were usually traditional, but this time the music had a strange rhythm, which made him feel helpless for a moment. This was the first dance of the ball, very important, but he had no idea how to deal with this strange melody.

He didn't even know how to dance it himself, let alone Xu Ning. Kadeyafu felt a chill when he thought of this. If this dance was messed up, not only would Xu Ning be embarrassed, but the daughter of Commander Klayak would also be embarrassed.

If they angered Miss Talia, they might not only lose the opportunity to talk about the arms business, but they might even be in danger of their lives.
