keep the moon

Chapter 6

It happened to be noon when Jiang Shouyue presided over the sacrifice.

The altar of the Jiang family was very large. Jiang Shouyue stood on it wearing a long robe, with butterflies half covering her face, her long black hair was braided, and only a few strands of hair were left hanging by her temples and ears.

The bell rang and fell, and Jiang Shouyue stood on the high altar, looking down from the height.

Under the altar are many people from Suoyaodu District, who are sitting there waiting for the sacrifice to start, so that they can pray and pray.

In fact, the priest Jiang Shouyue does not need to dance the sacrificial dance on weekdays. The sacrificial dance is the most solemn scene in the Jiang family's sacrifice. It is also a rule not to dance lightly unless it is a major festival.

It's a pity that Jiang Shouyue didn't want to obey the rules today.

The sacrificial dance is actually not difficult, the main difficulty is to repeat the dance until the end of the sacrificial music.

Jiang Shouyue was just an omega, and his physical strength was a lot weaker. For him, dancing the sacrificial dance was exhausting and exhausting.

So Jiang Shouyue's efforts before taking over as priest can be imagined.

Furthermore, the Jiang family's sacrificial dance is said to be a dance, but it is actually a storytelling.

This dance is actually derived from a very old legend of a "sunset boy".

According to legend, butterflies are something that people are keen to pursue. They are obsessed with their beauty and color, and they try to imprison all butterflies in cages.

But there is a boy who is different from everyone else. He hates butterflies. He thinks the butterflies trapped in the cage are ugly, so regardless of the obstruction of others, he goes crazy and wants to kill all the butterflies trapped in the cage. die.

But he failed, and he was finally beheaded at sunset because he killed the king's most beautiful butterfly.

However, when the boy died, all the butterflies trapped in the cage broke their wings and died at that moment.

Under everyone's gaze, the dead boy gradually turned into a new butterfly, flapping his beautiful brown wings, and flew into the distance under people's gaze.

Since then, there has been a beautiful legend of the sunset butterfly.

This is why Jiang Jiajia Hui is a sunset butterfly.

As the music ended, Jiang Shouyue's dance also stopped abruptly with the sound of bells.

Jiang Shouyue panted slightly, resisting the exhaustion of her body to stand firmly on the altar.

Seeing the pious appearance of the people under the altar, Jiang Shouyue couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, but soon, the smile froze on her face.

At the back of the crowd, a touch of silvery white was conspicuous and eye-catching.

A trace of surprise flashed across Jiang Shouyue's eyes.

Feng.Draper?Why is he here?

Jiang Shouyue stabilized her mind, bowed to the audience, then turned and left.

He is so tired and needs a rest.

As soon as she disappeared from everyone's sight, Jiang Shouyue bent down, leaning on the wall on one side, panting heavily.

What a broken sacrificial dance, whoever loves to dance can dance.

Jiang Shouyue thought bitterly.

But before he could rest in the lounge, he saw the man.

"My lord, I really didn't expect you to come here."

Although Jiang Shouyue was very tired, she lowered her breath as much as possible and said to the silver-haired man in front of her.

Draper heard the sarcasm in Jiang Shouyue's words, but he was not angry. He just smiled and looked at Jiang Shouyue with a hint of concern in his tone:

"Master Jiang looks very tired, why don't you go in and rest first."

Jiang Shouyue felt bored for a moment, but he was really tired, so he didn't hold on anymore, turned around, opened the door and entered the house.

Draper also followed Jiang Shouyue into the house, looking at the furnishings with the characteristics of the Jiang family, a novelty appeared in Draper's eyes.

Jiang Shouyue ignored him, but took off the butterfly mask on his face first, put it on the table, then sat in front of the mirror, and began to undo the braided hair little by little.

"Master Jiang, shall I help you?"

Draper walked behind Jiang Shouyue while talking. Although he was asking, his hand had already touched Jiang Shouyue's hair.

Disgust flashed across Jiang Shouyue's face, but he didn't refuse, so he obediently handed over his hair to the other party.

Draper untied the hairband on Jiang Shouyue's head little by little, and worked carefully with his hands, but he did not forget to praise Jiang Shouyue.

"Master Jiang dances very well."

Draper's voice is nice and sincere, as if he is praising the person in front of him from the bottom of his heart,

"I seem to see a butterfly boy, very beautiful."

Jiang Shouyue didn't know how to respond to the other party. He could feel his hair slipping from the other party's fingers, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he saw Alpha standing behind him in the mirror.

The most powerful alpha in Suo Yaodu District is releasing him at this moment.

His head was slightly lowered, his snow-white hair was combed neatly behind him, revealing a smooth forehead and deep eye sockets, his deep sea-like blue eyes were slightly lowered, and he was carefully arranging his hair.

"comb."

Draper finally untied the hair tie, handed it to Jiang Shouyue, then picked up the comb that Jiang Shouyue handed him, and patiently combed Jiang Shouyue's hair.

Jiang Shouyue felt that the whole process was extremely torturous, as long as he thought that the other hand had killed that man, he felt extremely sick.

"Will there be a chance to see Young Master Jiang dance for me in the future?"

Draper looked at Jiang Shouyue's slightly trembling shoulders, his eyes darkened a lot, and he asked suddenly.

Jiang Shouyue was a little puzzled when she heard what Draper said, but she still answered the other party:

"There shouldn't be that chance anymore. Apart from offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Jiang's dance only sacrifices one kind of person."

"Ok?"

Draper asked with a smile, "Who?"

"dead."

Jiang Shouyue said the answer expressionlessly, deliberately emphasizing the word dead, and then raised her eyes to observe the change in the other party's expression.

But there was still no emotional change on Draper's face, he just raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by the answer: "Really? It's interesting."

Draper was not angry, but Jiang Shouyue still felt a little pity.

The other party's patience seemed to be much better than he thought.

"How many years has Young Master Jiang been dancing this dance? Have you been dancing since you were a child?"

"Almost, I started learning at the age of four."

Jiang Shouyue did the math, and she had indeed been dancing for many years.

"Haven't you thought about not dancing?"

Hearing Draper's words, Jiang Shouyue twitched a smile at the corner of her mouth, and snorted softly:

"My lord, there are some things that you can't just do if you don't want to."

"really."

Draper chuckled, and gently let down Jiang Shouyue's hair, letting it hang down to her waist.

"Master Jiang, you always surprise me a lot."

"It seems that you are quite satisfied with me, Duke."

Jiang Shouyue laughed at herself, as if she was a commodity, and it was a kind of luck to be in the eyes of the other party.

Unexpectedly, when Draper heard Jiang Shouyue's words, he frowned slightly. The next moment, he reached out and patted Jiang Shouyue's shoulder, put his head close to Jiang Shouyue's ear, and sighed softly:

"Master Jiang can choose me, it is already a gift to me."

Jiang Shouyue's eyes widened in an instant, and his earlobe was touched by the hot breath from the other party, which made him shudder.

It seems that in those few nights, that person also said to him in his ear: "It is my luck that you chose me."

The fingertips trembled slightly, but before Jiang Shouyue could speak, Draper turned around and left the room.

Jiang Shouyue sat alone in front of the mirror in the room, looking at the slightly red-faced person in the mirror, his earlobe was about to bleed.

"Jiang Shouyue, you must be crazy."

Jiang Shouyue leaned weakly on the back of the chair, looked up at the gray ceiling, his eyes gradually became confused, and after a long time, he said this softly.

……

Draper walked out of the lounge, but stopped after walking some distance.

Looking up at the blue sky, Draper took a deep breath. If someone was by his side, he would definitely be able to see the hands of the so-called strongest alpha in Suoyaodu District trembling slightly.

"Jiang Shouyue, do you remember me?"

Draper's voice was a little sad, and seemed a little bit unwilling.

It's a pity no one heard.

……

Within a few days, Jiang Shouyue was called by Draper to choose a wedding dress.

In the most luxurious urban area of ​​Suoyaodu District, Jiang Shouyue was in agony in a century-old shop that only supplied clothes for the royal family.

The manager in the store is a beta with a coquettish appearance. He is wearing a high-waisted slim dress. The rose tattoo on his body makes him even more charming. He is wearing a pair of diamond-encrusted heels on his feet. The first time he sees Jiang Shouyue, he feels It's like finding some treasure.

But when he walked up to Jiang Shouyue, it was a man's voice when he spoke,

"This is Young Master Jiang? She is as beautiful as the rumors say."

Beta looked at Jiang Shouyue and praised sincerely, "I'm Christine, Master Jiang can just call me by my name."

Jiang Shouyue looked at the smiling face of the other party, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out her hand towards the other party:

"Hi, Christine."

Christine's gaze paused for a while on Jiang Shouyue's outstretched hand, and then she smiled even brighter, and stepped forward to hold Jiang Shouyue's hand:

"Master Jiang is really interesting, I think we will have a good time getting along."

Jiang Shouyue didn't know what the other party meant, so she turned her head and glanced at Draper.

Draper patiently explained to him:

"Christine will undertake the design of your wedding dress. If you have any comments, just ask him."

"Indeed, Young Master Jiang, if you have any ideas, you can just put them forward."

Christine also spoke softly and comforted from the side.

"You are a professional, you can call the shots."

Jiang Shouyue shook her head, "I don't know much about this."

"Haha, Young Master Jiang, you are so polite."

Christine covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then turned her head to look at Draper, her words were slightly teasing,

"Then, my lord duke, Madam will leave it to us?"

Draper nodded, without any reaction to those two words, then reached out and rubbed gently on Jiang Shouyue's head,

"Go, I'll wait for you here."

Jiang Shouyue responded softly, and then followed Christine.
