The Strong Gu Yuena Queen! Best Dance Partners in the Room!
The lights and shadows in the center of the dance floor are slowly rotating.
Ye Xinglan stood in front of Bai Yuan.
The invitation remained hanging between the two.
Not far away, Xie Xie peeked out from the crowd and gave Xu Lizhi, who was enjoying his meal, a wink:
Look over there!
"Kasachi!!"
"What's wrong? Don't disturb me while I'm eating!"
With half a piece of lobster meat still in his mouth, Xu Lizhi mumbled a reply.
Xie Xie lowered his voice:
Your family is going to be gone.
Xu Lizhi was taken aback.
"Aren't I on a cruise ship?"
"Where did you get your home from??"
He then followed Xie Xie's gaze and saw Ye Xinglan standing in front of Bai Yuan.
He proactively extended his hand.
Xu Lizhi's jaw almost dropped into the plate.
He glanced down at the half-eaten lobster he still had in his hand.
He looked up again at the glowing figure in the distance.
I still feel like that piece of meat is stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down.
Tang Wulin, standing nearby, wanted to laugh but dared not.
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back any longer.
His gaze shifted to the other side of the banquet hall, where he saw Gu Yuena sitting at a table.
Her fingers lightly traced the rim of the wine glass, as if she were hesitating about something.
After a moment, she seemed to be preparing to stand up.
"Where is Miss Gu Yue going?"
"Could it be???"
Yuanen Yehui secretly glanced at Gu Yuena beside him, taking in her actions.
I lack experience and don't know how to handle this kind of situation!
She thought to herself, why shouldn't I be the first to extend an invitation?
This will definitely leave a better impression on Bai Yuan.
She sat very upright, but her gaze shifted slightly.
It landed on the figure waiting for a response at the edge of the dance floor.
Will Big Brother Bai reject her?
Bai Yuan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment.
She looked really good tonight.
Her blonde hair shimmered slightly under the lamplight, softening her usual aloof and cold demeanor.
Her pride, her restraint, and the composure she was trying to maintain at that moment.
Bai Yuan saw it all.
Ye Xinglan's hand was still outstretched in mid-air.
Her fingertips were slightly tense, as if ready to retract at any moment, yet they remained stubbornly there.
Not far behind her, Xu Lizhi's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the figure waiting for a response.
The teeth made a soft, crunching sound as they chewed on the lobster shell, but the person was completely unaware.
I just strained my eyes open, afraid that I would miss a crucial moment if I blinked.
Xie Xie stood next to him and nudged him with his elbow, but he remained motionless.
"Oh no, has this child gone crazy from anger?!"
Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze and grasped Ye Xinglan's hand.
The force wasn't strong, just enough for her to feel that the response was serious.
"How could I possibly refuse an invitation from such a beautiful woman?"
"If the flowers are in full bloom, not appreciating them would be a sign of not understanding their beauty."
Besides, it's just dancing, what's the big deal?
There was no deliberate attempt to be overly friendly in his tone.
But that natural acceptance gently soothed her previously tense nerves.
Ye Xinglan felt the warmth of his palm seeping through her fingertips.
Her lips curved slightly upwards before quickly pressing down, as if she didn't want anyone to see her expression at that moment.
"Calm down, calm down, Ye Xinglan."
"˃̶͈˂̶͈"!!
"Don't be embarrassed, it's just a normal exchange of combat experience!"
Oh no!
Let's exchange dance experiences!
She quietly reminded herself, then quickly corrected herself.
She followed Bai Yuan's lead into the dance floor, and the two moved in a natural harmony.
He guided her very steadily, as if he could anticipate her next move.
Although Ye Xinglan usually focuses on cultivating swordsmanship, her dancing skills are only superficial.
But Bai Yuan's strength was perfectly timed to match her rhythm, leading her to a beautiful backward bend.
The light from the crystal chandelier shone on her upturned, aloof face.
The world seemed to spin upside down at that moment, and the person in front of you was your only support.
At that moment, her mental defenses, like a sword move she had practiced for a long time, naturally crumbled the instant they touched her opponent.
That feeling of being understood, guided, and gently conquered.
He made every nerve in her body willingly sink into the rhythm of his palm.
The music stopped abruptly, Bai Yuan caught her spinning body, bringing her back to an elegant bowing pose.
Ye Xinglan then realized that they had somehow ended up in the center of the dance floor.
The other people seemed to have become their backup dancers.
Everyone in the audience applauded when they saw this; those two danced amazingly!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances!
These two are the best dance partners today!
She released Bai Yuan's hand, feeling that her night had reached its zenith.
The communication went well.
Next time we can go a little deeper!
She gave this assessment, then stepped back.
As the second song of the ball began, Ye Xinglan had just stepped back when several figures approached Bai Yuan's direction.
Their eyes were still on him.
It's as if they want to claim a spot before the gap is filled again.
A hand shoved in with almost brute force, forcefully tearing through the dance floor.
"Is this Silver Dragon King really that possessive?"
The moment Gu Yuena reached out her hand, he steadily caught it.
She stood before him, her long silver dress flowing like water under the lights.
Her collarbone was faintly visible in the light and shadow, and her silver high heels made her already slender figure appear even taller.
She looked at him, her voice carrying a meaning she herself couldn't quite articulate:
"We called you here for a discussion, and you were all lovey-dovey with the girl?"
"I'm going back to tell the teacher."
Bai Yuan looked at her, his gaze carrying a calmness that said, "I knew you would come."
"Go ahead and tell them. It'll let the teacher know that I'm trying to promote friendship between the two sides."
Gu Yuena was momentarily speechless at his words, and tilted her head slightly.
"Are you trying to die?!"
"Bai Yuan!!"
She was about to pinch him when Bai Yuan grabbed her hand and led her a step toward the center of the dance floor.
"Since we're already here, let's finish this dance first."
"Ah!"
꒰ᐢ⸝⸝•༝•⸝⸝ᐢ꒱
"I didn't come here to do... that!"
Before she could even stand up straight, he had already drawn her into the rhythm of the music.
She instinctively tensed her back, then, following his force, regained her rhythm.
Gu Yuena's hand firmly gripped Bai Yuan's palm, with even more determination than when Ye Xinglan had danced earlier.
Bai Yuan sensed the almost declarative seriousness emanating from her fingertips.
Without resisting, he readjusted his posture following her force.
Gu Yuena's gaze swept over his shoulder with the certainty of someone surveying their territory, then over the others who were approaching.
Her gaze shut out any potential threats that tried to approach.
The ladies who were about to take a step in that direction all stopped and withdrew their feet.
"We're about to dance. How dare you touch my things?"
She silently finished the sentence in her mind.
She didn't say it aloud, but her aura had already conveyed all the unspoken words for her.
She firmly grasped the initiative back into her own hands.
Leading him into the rhythm of the music, giving him no time to hesitate.
Bai Yuan did not resist and followed her lead into the dance floor.
Her actions were more decisive than he had anticipated, requiring no further adjustments.
She was making a declaration to the entire audience in her own way.
She was the one who defined that arc.
The silver skirt spread out and gathered as it twirled, with light flowing across its surface like a shimmering river.
There was an elegance in her movements that she herself wasn't fully aware of.
The dance floor gradually quieted down at that moment, and the footsteps that had been moving suddenly stopped.
All eyes converged from all directions, landing on the two spinning figures.
No one uttered a sound, and all the dance steps stopped unconsciously.
So beautiful!
These two are natural dance partners!
Xu Lizhi withdrew his gaze and patted Tang Wulin, who was still in a daze, on the shoulder:
"Brother, things have come to this, let's eat something first."
Tang Wulin did not answer immediately, his gaze remaining fixed on the silver figure spinning in the center of the dance floor.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
After a moment, he lowered his head:
"Um."
He picked up the glass on the table and took a sip.
He didn't look in the direction of the dance floor again.
Ye Xinglan looked at the figure in the dance floor who was leading the rhythm.
"This girl is amazing!"
"Take advantage of their unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack!"
"They stole my sparring partner's gear!"
Yuanen Yehui remained standing in the same spot, her gaze fixed on the spinning figure.
Why am I such a coward?!
"Go!"
They neither approached nor left.
Yue Zhengyu stood in the corner, his eyebrows dancing with excitement as he remarked:
"He's so handsome, all the girls are crazy about him."
"That should be him!!!"
