Chapter 895 Queen's Ball (Ⅲ)

Mr. Professor was obviously still angry. He not only refused to dance with his ex-girlfriend, but also said to Joan, "Go back and tell Josephine that I am not interested in prudish women. She pretends to be a virgin and a martyr. I almost didn't recognize her!"

Joan scratched her head, and it wasn't that easy to be a "talking tube". The instructor said these things in anger, how could he say it to Mrs. Josephine.

When he was in trouble, Mrs. Josephine came over by herself, poured two glasses of wine, and handed them to Joan and Professor Moriarty respectively.

"Look at you, when you are old, you are still like an ignorant little boy, who will play with his temper and lose his temper when he is in trouble."

Mrs. Josephine's tone and demeanor when she criticized her ex-boyfriend made Joan feel weird, and couldn't tell whether it was "pity" or "love".

Sipping a sip of red wine, Mrs. Josephine said softly: "I am engaged to David. It cannot be said that money is not considered at all, but frankly speaking, I accept his marriage proposal not only because he is a millionaire, but also because he is a millionaire. I value his broad mind even more."

"David promised me that he would not interfere with my social activities after marriage. This is enough to move me. In return, I am obliged to protect the face of my fiancé in public."

"Even if, as you said, it's all pretend, at least I have to pretend to be a dignified and virtuous lady, and I can't casually wink at other men, even if the other man is my ex-boyfriend. "

Professor Moriarty nodded, and drank the wine in his glass, with an almost rascally smile on his face.

"Very well said, Josephine, but I still don't want to dance with you."

"Stingy!"

Mrs. Josephine glared at him bitterly, then turned around and looked at Joan pitifully.

As soon as Qiao An saw her expression, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she hurried to speak first.

"I can not dance!"

"What a coincidence, I like teaching people to dance the most! Joan, don't you disappoint me too?"

Joan was dumbfounded.

At this moment, the smile on Madam Josephine's lips was actually similar to that of Professor Moriarty, and it also revealed a hint of rogue.

Just when he was at a loss, Mrs. Josephine suddenly put away her smile, let out a surprised "Huh", took a step closer to him, and raised her hand to lightly touch his left eye.

"Joan, your pupils... worms?"

Joan nodded, but did not deny Mrs. Josephine's guess. Since he was infected with the worm virus, his eyes have undergone slight mutations, and the depth of the pupils has characteristics similar to compound eyes.

It was difficult to distinguish this mild abnormal symptom even when observing it face to face, let alone in the dimly lit ballroom, Mrs. Josephine's sharp eyesight surprised him secretly.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved.

After all, Mrs. Josephine is also a "worm-like person" and is particularly sensitive to carriers of the worm-like virus. It is reasonable to find that his pupils are abnormal.

"Joan, let's let the dance go first. Now I want to talk to you about worm disease. Tell me, how did you get infected with this virus?"

Mrs. Josephine was playing with the goblet with curiosity in her eyes.

Qiao An took a deep look at her, and in the depths of her wine-red pupils, she also found countless tiny hexagonal arrays, which are the characteristics of compound eyes.

"This matter starts half a month ago, when we encountered three 'worm-like people' on the top of Mount Bailun...Actually, you were also there at that time."

Joan briefly described how she was stabbed by "The Wasp" Jenny and contracted "worm disease".

Mrs. Josephine smiled in relief, and said softly: "It's just a small misunderstanding, Joan, I will cast a spell to send a letter to Jenny tomorrow morning, asking her to come and apologize to you in person, and help you remove the poison in your body." Worm virus."

"There's no need to bother you!" Joan shook his head quickly, "I don't want to remove the virus in my body yet, otherwise my research will not be able to proceed."

"Are you studying worm-like viruses?" Mrs. Josephine raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Joan nodded and took the opportunity to introduce the subject he was working on, the progress he had made, and the obstacles he encountered.

The most important thing is to explain to Mrs. Josephine that this work is currently at a bottleneck, and there is an urgent need for warlocks with "worm blood" to assist him in promoting follow-up research projects.

"So that's how it is. As expected of a Trophim student, I'm more curious than a cat."

Madame Josephine made a casual joke, then said thoughtfully:

"The worm-forming virus in your body comes from Jenny. It stands to reason that Jenny is the most suitable to help you do research, but unfortunately she didn't choose the path of a warlock... I am a warlock myself, but unfortunately my worm-like characteristics are closer to mosquitoes than wasps. "

"The specific type of worm-like virus does not have much impact on my research."

Joan quickly emphasized.

"That's good."

Madame Josephine smiled and held out her right hand to him.

"Joan, I'm very interested in your research. Whenever I have free time, I will visit your laboratory and hope I won't disturb your work."

"Looking forward to your visit."

Joan took her slender hand and kissed her fingertips lightly.

The main purpose of his coming to the banquet tonight was to invite Mrs. Josephine to assist him in researching the "Insect Virus". Now that his wish has been fulfilled, the stone that was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt light all over his body.

Mrs. Josephine waved goodbye to him with a smile, turned around and walked to Professor Moriarty, and sighed faintly.

It was inconvenient for Joan to attend the private conversation between the instructor and Mrs. Josephine, so she distanced herself from them and walked to the balcony to get some air.

The night wind blows head-on, the lights downstairs are dim, and the hot spring pool water scattered far and near, under the reflection of the moonlight and lights, reflects sparkling waves, like mirrors of different sizes.

Joan was intoxicated by the beautiful night scene, until the dance music played again behind her, and Mr. David Kaufman's loud voice faintly came from the piano melody.

Joan turned around and returned to the banquet hall, only to find that the dance floor had been emptied, and Mrs. Josephine was sitting in front of a piano, playing a piano piece for the guests.

Holding a goblet, Mr. Kaufman introduced to the guests surrounded by him with a look of embarrassment that Josephine was playing a composition specially composed for her by the famous New World composer Franz Strauss. His new work, "Red Queen Waltz".

Joan walked around the crowd with a brisk melody and returned to the mentor.

The professor crossed his arms in front of his chest, and silently listened to his ex-girlfriend playing the dance music specially composed for her with skillful and elegant fingering. His eyes drifted away, as if he was brought into a dream by the jumping notes in his ears, or fell into a distant memory .

It was not until the end of the performance that Mrs. Josephine got up and bowed to take the curtain call that Professor Moriarty was awakened by the applause.
