Liang Jian: I have a canteen

At seven o'clock in the evening, the lights came on, illuminating the not-so-luxurious cruise ship.

Xu San and Huan Ji arrived at the restaurant together.

Standing at the restaurant entrance, I loosened my collar and gazed at the dazzling lights and bustling scene before me.

Even amidst the chaos of war outside, this cruise ship exudes an air of languor and decadence.

"Edogawa!"

Hans's gruff voice cut through the music. Xu San turned to look and saw him striding over with two glasses of golden champagne, his face flushed with excitement. "You're late! You missed the fun opening."

Xu San shrugged, indicating that he wasn't interested in the opening or anything like that.

"An even better band will be coming soon!"

He shoved a glass of wine into Xu San's hand. Xu San took it, thanked him, and then asked, "Where's Elisa?"

"They'll be right there. Ladies always need to spend more time getting ready, don't they?"

After saying that, he looked at Huan Ji and said, "Miss Huan is very beautiful!"

"Thank you!" Huanji replied politely.

As they spoke, Elisa walked gracefully out of the crowd.

Unlike her usual daytime blazer, she changed into a dark green velvet dress in the evening, which made her skin look even whiter than snow. Her golden hair was styled up, revealing her elegant neck.

It must be said that Aryan women are indeed very beautiful, fitting Xu San's aesthetic standards.

Elisa held a small plate with a few slices of deep red sausage on it, the edges of which were lightly seared and emitted an enticing aroma.

He placed the sausage on the table to the side and greeted everyone, "Good evening, gentlemen."

"Good evening!" Xu San responded with a smile, reaching for a slice of sausage from the plate. After chewing a few times, he found it quite tasty, a bit peppery, but still praised it, "It tastes really good. Did you bring this from Qingdao?"

“Elisa did some things before leaving Qingdao,” Haas explained.

Xu San ate another piece and put it in his mouth. Then he continued to praise, "Fantastic! With this kind of skill, you could definitely open a shop. With some effective promotion, I believe you'll soon become famous in Tokyo!"

Elisa gladly accepted Xu San's compliment, her eyes curving into a beautiful arc as she smiled charmingly.

The restaurant was getting more and more crowded, but the majority of the people were Chinese, followed by Japanese, and the fewest were foreigners like Hans.

After a while, the ball began.

Melodious music drifted from the gramophone, and the men and women on the dance floor began to dance.

As the music started, Elisa tapped her toes lightly to the beat, turned her head and asked Xu San, "Mr. Edogawa, aren't you going to dance a song?"

Xu San quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "If you're not afraid I'll step on your beautiful shoes, I wouldn't mind jumping on one with you."

Elisa glanced at her white high heels and smiled faintly. "Don't worry, if they get damaged, Mr. Edogawa will just buy me a new pair."

Xu San sighed inwardly, stood up, grabbed Elisa's hand, and said with a smile, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

As long as you don't dance tango or Latin dance, it's actually quite simple to dance as a couple. Even if you don't understand rhythm and cadence, you can still hug each other and spin around.

In fact, the affection that Elisa showed for him might not necessarily mean she was interested in him; she simply wanted to make friends with him.

No matter what, you still need a local in a foreign country.

Moreover, ever since Xu San met this family, his gaze has always lingered on Elisa. (End of Chapter)
