Chapter 1 The unusual approach
On the stage, two tall shelves each had a glass cabinet. The cabinets were not big, so they could barely allow one person to stand in it, about five meters apart.
The audience in the audience were all staring at the young man wearing a white suit and tall figure on the stage, looking forward to the wonderful performance he will bring to him soon.
Jiang Xiao walked forward with a smile, bent down and bowed to the audience, rotated for half a circle, waved his hand, and then picked up a piece of black cloth from the small table beside him. The black cloth was also not big, and the general could just wrap the person in it.
Jiang Xiao supported the black cloth with both hands, flipped it back and forth, and told the audience that there was nothing strange on the front and back of the black cloth, and smiled and said, "Then, the time to witness the miracle has arrived!"
Jiang Xiao walked step by step to the glass cabinet on the left, bowed to the audience again, then opened the cabinet door and walked in.
The two glass cabinets are both transparent on six sides, suspended in the air, without any cover from top to bottom. From Jiang Xiao opening the cabinet door, then walking in, and then closing the door, Jiang Xiao can always see clearly.
Then, Jiang Xiao slowly spread his arms, supported the black cloth, and slowly descended and covered himself.
At the last moment before his handsome face was covered with black cloth, Jiang Xiao showed a bright smile that the audience had long been accustomed to.
After the thin black cloth covered Jiang Xiao's body, it became the only visual obstacle between him and the audience. According to common sense, Jiang Xiao had no chance at all, so he would react any more.
However, there is no common sense in magic performance.
After being covered by the black cloth, Jiang Xiao's originally tall figure suddenly faded down at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he was swallowed by quicksand or swamp, and was sucked in by the floor of the glass cabinet.
But the transparent glass cabinet was still supported in the air by a steel frame, and was still more than half a meter high from the floor of the stage. How could there be a place for a living person to hide?
What is even more amazing is that a figure is slowly rising in another glass cabinet five meters away from the right.
A black cloth had already been laid in the glass cabinet on the right. Now, the black cloth that was originally laid flat at the bottom was bulging and was rising little by little. The rising speed was exactly the same as the speed of Jiang Xiao falling in the glass cabinet on the left, one rose and the other was growing.
The audience in the audience made a burst of marvels of surprise.
But in just half a minute, the black cloth in the glass cabinet on the left had completely lost its support and fell to the bottom of the cabinet. In the glass cabinet on the right, the black cloth had been supported by one person. Then, he gently pinched it from the inside with his hands, swung it heavily, and lifted the black cloth from bottom to top.
Jiang Xiao, wearing a white suit, still had a bright smile on his face, opened his arms to the audience below, and proudly swore his existence.
When Jiang Xiao slowly walked out of the glass cabinet, stood in the middle of the stage, and bowed to the audience below, the entire venue was already filled with applause.
Such magical magic is almost the only one who has seen in his life! Although we already know that Jiang Xiao, a newly promoted young magician, has become famous recently, but on such an incredible performance on such a stage with almost no cover, it is still beyond the expectations of the audience.
Amid the audience's applause, Jiang Xiao left the stage and walked out of the backstage.
After the performance, Jiang Xiao packed up his things, smiled and said goodbye to the rest of the staff on the stage, and quickly walked from the internal passage to the parking lot.
His car is a pure electric driver with a smooth white Tesla. However, Jiang Xiao's brow raised slightly at this moment.
A woman, a woman in a light gray career suit, was leaning against the front cover of his Tesla, looking at Jiang Xiao who was walking towards him, and a slight smile appeared.
Another...a woman who took the initiative to throw herself into her arms?
Jiang Xiao thought this secretly in his heart, his speed at his feet did not change at all, and he also responded to a smile on his face and walked towards the woman.
Since becoming famous, such women are not uncommon. Even waiting for him in the parking lot is a relatively gentle way. Jiang Xiao has long been accustomed to it. But naturally, not every woman who comes to meet him will accept it.
When she got closer to the car, Jiang Xiao saw the woman's appearance clearly. Her facial features were as perfect as a sculpture. Even in what Jiang Xiao saw in his life, she could be regarded as a first-class beauty. Especially her eyes were calm and deep, like the lake water in early summer, half soft and half clear. But with her eyebrows flying into her temples, she added a sense of heroism.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
When Jiang Xiao was five meters away from her, the woman straightened her body from the front of the car, took two steps towards him, and stretched out her hand with a smile.
"Hello." Jiang Xiao stretched out his hand and held it for a moment, but felt that although this woman's hand was delicate and tender, it was no different from the delicateness of other women. It was calm and powerful. For a moment, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"My name is Ziyan. I was amazed when I saw Mr. Jiang's performance off the stage just now. Although I had heard of Mr. Jiang's name before, I had never witnessed it on the scene. When I saw it today, it was indeed worthy of its reputation." The woman smiled slightly and withdrew her hand: "I think, at this moment, it is not to mention that it is a domestic, even if you look at the world, you may not be able to find a second magician with such magician as Mr. Jiang."
Ziyan…?
This kind of name that doesn't sound real, and her tone...
Jiang Xiao smiled and shook his head slightly, not saying anything, and at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart that were different from usual.
The tone and content of the woman named Zi Yan in front of her was not like those fans who took the initiative to flirt with him, either fanatic or seduced him, but more like...
——It’s more like a social occasion or even a relationship.
And the expression and faint smile on her face also did not appear to be mixed with the slightest love between men and women.
When Jiang Xiao didn't know the other party's background, he would never say too much. At this moment, whether he admitted it calmly or pretended to be modest, it was not in line with his personality. It would be better to just wait for the other party and continue to express his intentions in the future.
"I don't know who Mr. Jiang's magic is mastered?" Zi Yan's wonderful eyes gently turned up and down Jiang Xiao, and said with a clever smile.
"The world is so big, there are always a few self-taught people." Jiang Xiao bowed and said with a faint smile.
Zi Yan stretched out his hand, half turned around, gently tapped Jiang Xiao's car cover, nodding and said, "It's true that as I thought before. Since I have never seen anyone perform such a performance like Mr. Jiang, even if there is no connection, it would be strange if it was not self-taught. It's just..."
Zi Yan said this and paused, and did not continue to talk. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiao and suddenly turned around: "Isn't it too strange to just talk in this parking lot? I wonder if Mr. Jiang has free time now and go to have a glass of wine with me? I know there is a place that is not only clean, but also wine is good."
"Sorry." Jiang Xiao shook his head and rejected Zi Yan: "I just finished the performance and was a little tired. I just wanted to go home and take a shower. If I drink, I prefer to be at my own home, which would be more comfortable and comfortable. And... I am afraid that my wine storage at home is better. I hope... I will have a chance next time."
After saying that, without waiting for Zi Yan to say more, Jiang Xiao had already smiled at her, walked to the left side of the car and opened the door: "If you don't mind..."
Zi Yan's face did not show any rejection, but just smiled slightly, letting Jiang Xiao's car go, watching Jiang Xiao get into the car, and then slowly drive towards the exit.
When Jiang Xiao's car disappeared from sight, Zi Yan's face once again showed an intriguing expression.
"Is it teleporting... but it seems that the bloodline has not been fully awakened yet, and I don't know which rank it belongs to. But... I'd better try to get in touch again."
Jiang Xiao drove all the way to the eastern suburbs. Although he felt a little unhappy, he was soon blown away by the night wind blowing into the car window.
Zi Yan is indeed a stunning beauty. Even among the various women he has come into contact with in his life, he can be considered outstanding. If he changes his daily life, even if he doesn't expect any physical contact, just watching it will be pleasing enough to see it.
But Jiang Xiao was really unwilling to have more contact with her.
Because as long as he touches on the topic of magic he performed, he will always feel resistance and displeasure in his heart. This resistance and displeasure is difficult to eliminate even the beautiful face.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xiao returned to his home in the eastern suburbs. He quickly took a hot shower, put on his bathrobe, and walked back to the living room. Jiang Xiao completely eliminated the unhappiness that had just arisen by Zi Yan's exploration.
Jiang Xiao walked to the wine cabinet, glanced up and down, picked up a bottle of Nikka Zhuhe 21 Years whiskey from RB, poured half a glass of himself, sat on the sofa, shaking the wine glass gently, listening to the sound of the wine in it,
Jiang Xiao is very satisfied with his current life. He is very satisfied.
After only two years of debut, he blew an unbelievable whirlwind in the magic world. In just two years, the title of others has changed from a "riser" to a "wizard from heaven". Now, sometimes people have even described him as "magic master".
With his youth and wealth, great reputation, and handsome appearance, Jiang Xiao has never lacked any beauties who take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms - but he has always been restrained enough - he can be romantic every night occasionally, but he has never really developed any stable relationship.
Since he was eighteen years old.
Because a relationship that is close enough will inevitably make the girl start to explore a question from Jiang Xiao - how did you perform those magical magic tricks?
But this secret is absolutely impossible for Jiang Xiao to reveal. No matter who he is.
Jiang Xiao trapped himself on the sofa, took a small sip of wine in a glass, feeling the aroma of mixed malt-mixed whiskey plums and oak, and at the same time relived and savored his perfect performance tonight in his mind. The ink spot's old jazz music "I don't want to set the world on fire" was played on the CD, which was melodious and long.
This is a perfect night for relaxing and leisurely, and it is the night that Jiang Xiao spends after every performance.
Unfortunately, this enjoyment was broken by the sudden ringtone of the cell phone.
Jiang Xiao frowned and reluctantly picked up the phone on the coffee table in front of him, and found that it was a strange number. And there were few strange numbers on his phone.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xiao pressed to answer: "Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I think you should have finished taking a shower now, right?"
On the other end of the phone is the voice of a young woman, cold and elegant, but from the depths of her voice, there is a hint of erratic and elusive sexiness.
And the owner of this voice was Zi Yan that Jiang Xiao had just come into contact with.
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly: "Miss Ziyan, I'm afraid I'm not polite to call you at this time, right? And, if I remember correctly, I seem to have rejected you just now."
"Of course, I still remember." Zi Yan on the other end of the phone chuckled: "I have not been rejected many times, and Mr. Jiang, you are exactly one of them, how could I forget it? But Mr. Jiang, you just rejected my proposal to go out for a drink, but you never said that I would not be welcome to visit me, right?"
Jiang Xiao was suddenly stunned. Before he could reply, he could hear two soft knocks on the door, and at the same time he came from the door and the telephone receiver.
"Since Mr. Jiang's wine collection at home is so good, I wonder if I have the honor to taste it?"
Jiang Xiao's brows finally turned really.
He actually came to the door?
What exactly does this woman Ziyan want to do?
It is no longer a very simple thing to find your phone number in a short time, and now it appears at your door, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zi Yan's actions have made Jiang Xiao feel full of vigilance.
"Mr. Jiang, letting a lady wait outside for too long is very rude." Hearing Jiang Xiao's silence, Zi Yan smiled on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and walked to the door.
When I opened the door, I stood outside the entrance hall with Zi Yan, whom I had just seen half an hour ago.
