The song ended and the dance stopped. After a long silence, a round of applause rang out. The students of Law Class 2 came back to their senses. Waves of warm applause kept coming. Shangguan Jingtao and Ou Ruofeng bowed to everyone to show their courtesy.
" Our law school is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Both of them can go and learn dance," Student A said.
" It's really beautiful. I want to learn too." Student B said," I'll charm my boyfriend to death when I get back."
" Everyone has already seen us dance. We dance like this during the masquerade party. First, I will teach the girls the female steps, and Ou Ruofeng will teach the male steps. Since the ratio of male to female in our class is exactly one to one, it is very convenient to partner up. After we finish teaching the basic steps, the boys and girls will practice together," Shangguan Jingtao said.
The girls followed Shangguan Jingtao's steps and followed him step by step. The boys also followed the rhythm of Ou Ruofeng. They kept practicing, jumping, and turning. The dance steps gradually took shape. The more they danced, the more they felt it. They couldn't stop until it was time to eat.
"Everyone worked very hard this afternoon and danced very well, but this is just your individual dance. The waltz is a dance for male and female partners. Everyone, go back and have dinner first. We will gather at the same place tonight and officially start the male and female partner practice.”Shangguan Jingtao's words had absolute authority.
"Is everyone here? Now, we have to practice in pairs. Because our class is split equally between boys and girls, no one will be left alone.”Shangguan Jingtao said as he looked at the people who were ready to go.
At this moment, the dance studio that only had Shangguan Jingtao's voice a second ago was in an uproar. Those who had already privately contacted partners had already started practicing, while those who did not have partners went around. Ai Xiqian's looks and figure were very ordinary. In the past, she only paid attention to Mu Chen and did not interact much with the boys in the class. Although the boys in the class taught her basketball every day in the past few weeks, none of them were interested in her. Now, she did not take the initiative to find a partner. After an hour, Some teams were already familiar with each other, or at least it was about time to start. Seeing that everyone was almost paired up, Shangguan Jingtao wanted to see the situation.
"Who doesn't have a dance partner now?"
" I,"" I,"" I," Ai Xiqian, Ye Yu, and Huang Xiaomin answered in unison.
"Why are there only two girls and one boy left? Is there a boy in our class who isn't here?"
" Ji Danqi didn't come." Huang Xiaomin sounded very disappointed.
"Then what's the matter with you three? Isn't there another boy?""Ye Yu, pick one." Shangguan Jingtao was very serious.
" Huang Xiaomin," Ye Yu answered simply.
" Then Huang Xiaomin, what do you mean?" Shangguan Jingtao asked with a frown. Actually, when the masquerade party was announced, Shangguan Jingtao had also seen the scene where Ye Yu publicly asked Huang Xiaomin for a partner. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but he really felt that Huang Xiaomin was being pretentious, so he came to ask now.
Shangguan Jingtao glanced at everyone and said lightly,
" Ji Danqi is the one who didn't come. He's a maverick, so we won't force him. Judging from the current situation, you two girls and one boy, one girl should quit. We need a long-term partner during practice. Although we can match up at the masquerade party, you don't have a partner to practice with right now, so you can't learn at all. So, you can only quit," Shangguan Jingtao added.
" Xiaomin, you're only treating Ye Yu as a practice partner now. You can still partner up with anyone at the masquerade party. Besides, I'm not feeling well recently. You know that I don't want to participate, so just bear with it and partner up with Ye Yu. Ye Yu is so sunny and not bad looking. He's just a little straightforward. It's not a loss," Ai Xiqian whispered to Huang Xiaomin.
In the end, Huang Xiaomin still agreed to partner with Ye Yu. This made Ye Yu extremely happy. He got close to the goddess in his heart. Ye Yu gave her all kinds of water and wet tissues, taking care of her in every possible way.
Ai Xiqian felt a little regretful to quit just like that. After all, she had always envied people who could dance since she was young. Now that she finally had the chance to learn, she was still like this. No one invited her. In fact, Ai Xiqian was very disappointed. Of course, she also felt that she was a failure. Pairs of beautiful fairies were circling around each other in the dance studio. The feet of the fairies seemed to have been enchanted. Every movement was so elegant and noble as they jumped from one heaven to another. Although some fairies were not skilled enough, they seemed so harmonious with the help of their dance partners. This scene dazzled Ai Xiqian's eyes. Looking at herself, who did not fit in with the atmosphere, Ai Xiqian knew that if she stayed any longer, she might not be able to control her tears. She turned around and quickly left.
Everyone had gone to rehearse. Ai Xiqian didn't know where she should go. She didn't want to go back to the dormitory because it was too boring. Ai Xiqian ran to the school's Lover's Slope alone and sat quietly. In order to isolate the Nankou University of Political Science and Law where Ai Xiqian was studying from the outside world, a protective river had been built around the school, forming a natural barrier and also a landscape. The school was located on a higher ground, so in order to connect with the protective river and make the campus beautiful, layers of steps were built around the river. At the junction of the steps and the river, a cement platform about two meters wide was left. Stone benches were placed on the cement platform, and willow trees were planted in the gap between the river and the cement platform. Whenever Ai Xiqian was in a bad mood, she liked to come here to look at the river, the willows, and the endless stream of cars and people on the other side of the river.
The willow trees grew luxuriantly. Some of the branches and leaves blurred the boundaries between the stone stools, separating the two stone stools, making some stone stools form a natural private room, especially suitable for couples to fall in love or for a person to meditate alone.
After a while of being blown by the wind and calming down her feelings of inferiority, Ai Xiqian walked back and flipped open the willow tree.
" Cough cough cough…Ice-face, why are you here?" Ai Xiqian was stunned.
" This isn't your private meditation room. Why can't I be here?" Ji Danqi was speaking, but his eyes were fixed on Weakling Water.
Even though she had calmed down, Ai Xiqian still couldn't hold back her anger when she saw Ji Danqi again. Although she couldn't blame Ji Danqi for not being charming enough to get invited to dance, it was precisely because he didn't want to go that a girl was left alone. If he had gone, she could have just casually found someone to dance with.
" Why don't you go dancing? Don't you know that the ratio of boys to girls in our class is one to one? If you don't go, it means that one of the girls will be left alone. Can you not be so selfish?" Ai Xiqian's eyes started to redden again. She did not know what she was being calculative about.
"It should be the rehearsal time for that dance, but you're here with red eyes and accusing me. Could it be that you're the one who's left alone?”
" Thanks to you, I've always wanted to get closer to dance since I was young. Now, the chance to get close to it is gone. Are you happy now?" Ai Xiqian said as she sat down on Ji Danqi's stone bench, side by side with him.
" I really didn't know that the ratio of boys to girls in our class is exactly one to one. I didn't pay attention to it. It's also surprising that you weren't invited to dance. Heh heh, it seems like you're not very likable in this class." Ji Danqi's eyes actually had a hint of a smile, but it was definitely not a mockery.
" As for me, I had a boyfriend who I liked for five or six years. During those five years, he was the only boy in my heart. I really didn't interact with any other boys. In our class, other than the gentleman class monitor, I only interacted with him once or twice during basketball." Perhaps it was because the Lover's Slope had the ability to cleanse one's sorrows, Ai Xiqian removed the thorns all over her body and calmly chatted with Ji Danqi.
None of them knew how harmonious this scene was in the eyes of Huang Xiaomin, who had just run over to look for Ai Xiqian. It was so harmonious that it stung Huang Xiaomin's eyes.
" I didn't expect you to be so persistent. Plato once said,'The greatest regret in life is to easily give up what you shouldn't give up and stubbornly persist in what you shouldn't persevere on.' Sometimes, people can't be too persistent, although I can't do it either." Ji Danqi's lips curled into a helpless smile.
