Section 5
Having bid farewell to her initial awkwardness, Feng Shizhen has regained her rhythm. Their feet intertwine gracefully, as the man wraps his arms around her waist, gently spinning her, allowing her to glide effortlessly into a few beautiful dance steps.
As the dance music comes to an end, the crowd disperses
Feng Shizhen felt a tingling sensation all over her body, her cheeks were flushed, as if she had just awakened from a refreshing and exhilarating dream
However, the young man appeared calm, showing not the slightest hint of difficulty. He simply gazed coldly at Feng Shizhen, remaining silent.
The music begins, a beautiful and captivating tango dance piece
Thus, this dance serves as her farewell to her past life
A strong competitive spirit arose spontaneously, accompanied by a burning desire for conquest. In their gaze, both individuals unconsciously revealed a provocative smile.
The trembling and cool fingers touched the young man's hand. A subtle shiver ran through his heart, yet he did not resist, allowing the young woman to take his hand as he stepped forward, being led by her step by step to the center of the dance floor
The young man grasped Feng Shizhen's hand with dexterity and strength. She turned and slid two steps away, only to be pulled back by that powerful force. The man appeared slender, yet his strength was formidable. Feng Shizhen took another sharp breath and instinctively grabbed the man's arm
What was supposed to be a purely romantic dream dance has, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a competition.
The young man released his hand, took a step back, and breathed rapidly, his fair cheeks seemingly flushed. His eyes were no longer cold; they sparkled with a hint of warmth, resembling a spring that had been illuminated by sunlight
As soon as a slight distance was created, the young man suddenly moved. Feng Shizhen felt a strong arm wrap around her lower back, pulling her over irresistibly.
In this final melody, the young man spun around with Feng Shizhen, executing a perfect concluding move. Feng Shizhen's sweat-drenched cheek brushed against his face, leaving a burning sensation.
Meng Xuan raised his hand, interrupting her words. He stood in a dim corner, surrounded by bodyguards, silently observing the striking couple in the dance floor, his gaze deep and inscrutable
The woman's graceful figure seemed like an elusive wisp of smoke, surrounding and conforming to him; with just a moment's inattention, she could drift away. He held her in his grasp, relentlessly pursuing her, repeatedly and forcefully drawing her back into his embrace.
The faces of the two were almost touching, the young man lowered his head, his nose nearly brushing against hers, and the fresh masculine scent emanating from him filled her nostrils
Feng Shizhen's heart was like a toy drum wound tightly, beating out a hurried rhythm. The young man's cold, dark eyes gazed at Feng Shizhen, revealing no emotion. As their eyes met, a subtle atmosphere spread in the silence between them, like a lingering fragrance that ensnared both of them
Young Master Tang merely smiled, remaining silent as before
Seventh Master, you ... ...
The musician pressed down on several heavy notes, bringing the entire dance piece to a close
They seem like two magnets, at times attracting each other closely, embracing tightly, and at other times repelling, turning away from one another. A powerful force pulls between them, making it impossible to resist.
The violinist from Belarus played a soaring melody, followed closely by the piano, responding in harmony, like two clusters of fireworks intertwining and soaring into the night sky
As a piece of music came to an end, the dancers exited, and the hall suddenly fell much quieter. The prism ball overhead spun quietly, casting a kaleidoscope of colors throughout the entire ballroom
A group of dancers | The young ladies were captivated by Young Master Tang's dancing skills, and they surrounded him, eager and enthusiastic. It took the two young masters quite some effort to extricate themselves from the throng of women. Young Master Tang was momentarily taken aback as he gazed across the dance floor, but he could no longer find the figure of the lady he had seen earlier.
Feng Shizhen suddenly recalled a line she had seen in an English novel: "This is the perfect distance for a kiss"
Feng Shizhen was caught off guard, colliding with the firm and resilient chest of the man. A surge of the unique vigor and warmth of youth transmitted through their closely pressed bodies, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through her. In an instant, Feng Shizhen's face was tinged with a rosy hue, fortunately concealed by the dim, flickering light.
It seems that the melodious dance tune can still be heard in her ears. She gazed at the bright moon above, raised her hand to make a grasping gesture in the air, and placed it on her chest, smiling contentedly.
The blinding light above her dazzled her eyes. For a moment, she could see nothing clearly, only feeling the intense rise and fall of the man's chest pressed closely against her, their hurried breaths intertwining.
Farewell, all the beautiful flowers and full moons
Feng Shizhen's flowing white dress and the young man's white shirt were strikingly prominent under the lights, gradually capturing the attention of more than half of the audience.
Two bodies closely pressed together, moving in perfect harmony, as if they have become one, like a pair of fish gracefully swimming in the dance floor
The two stood silently in the center of the dance floor, as if immersed in a radiant river of light. Feng Shizhen gazed at the young man's handsome face, and her wildly beating heart miraculously calmed down
Other guests turned their heads to look at them
Although it was merely a momentary impulse, it was truly accomplished. Perhaps it was the favor of fate that allowed her to so effortlessly invite this youth, as bright as the moon, into the dance floor
She cannot continue like this any longer. It is still not too late for her to leave now
Before one could react, another wave of dizziness struck
Did it really succeed
In the course of her future life, she will engage in many actions she had never previously contemplated. She intends to take revenge on a person, destroy his home, and even approach an innocent young man with malice, ultimately causing him heartache
Feng Shizhen's hand rested on his arm, maintaining a rigid posture. A few couples of dancers entered the dance floor, dancing beside them. The young man remained indifferent.
The courage had already been exhausted during the earlier invitation, and she no longer had the ability to pull the young man to dance this dance led by the gentlemen
The young man bent down neatly. Feng Shizhen followed by tilting his head back and bending at the waist, and was pulled up again
Farewell to those illusory dreams
Feng Shizhen clenched her teeth tightly, her hand hanging down on the young man's arm, and her foot quietly took half a step back.
Feng Shizhen sat in the rickshaw on her way home. The autumn night breeze dried her sweat, bringing waves of refreshing coolness.
And the youth stood still.
The youth's gaze sparkled. Feng Shizhen suddenly caught a glimpse of a teasing expression in his eyes
Feng Shizhen embraced the young man, who held her close. She found this scene truly marvelous. Just like that, she danced a tango, intimate and passionate as if in love, with a man she had just met for the first time, whose name she could not even fully recall.
A cluster of electric current flickered with sparks as it surged across Feng Shizhen's back, spreading throughout his limbs and causing a wave of震荡.
Oh! You little rascal actually have this skill! You are quite the hidden talent!" Young Master Wu approached with a grin, wrapping his arm around the young man's neck, "When did you learn this? I had no idea at all!
The music suddenly transitioned into a more soothing passage. They also slowed their pace accordingly
Do you not know how to dance the tango
The passing dance | A mocking glance thrown by a woman. The light from the diamond-shaped lamp ball flashed so brightly that Feng Shizhen found it blinding, standing awkwardly as she felt an indescribable sense of disappointment and embarrassment
This person can dance the tango. Judging by his posture, he seems to dance quite well!
Xiaobao Li returned to the ballroom holding a box of face cream, only to witness such a scene that she was startled enough to almost drop the box. She suddenly realized that the man standing beside her was none other than someone she knew, which left her pale with fright.
