You are my wife, don't doubt it!

After a group dance, there were two ballroom dances. Xiao Yao, wearing rabbit ears, leaned on the railing by the lake with Yu Luying, watching Curly-haired Old Tang and Tang Xuewei dance.

During this time, Xu Ruiyi actually changed to a very intimidating motorcycle, looking like a biker gang in a cartoon.

"This ear suits you very well." Xu Ruiyi said.

"This is called the slow three," Xiao Yao explained to Yu Luying while watching, "The one just now should be the slow four. The slow three and slow four are the simplest ballroom dances, the entry-level ones... Damn, is that Shuyi?"

"It seems to be him, Shuyi!" Little Apple raised her hand and greeted the child.

That "Shuyi" is the little niece who lives in "Uncle Zhou's" house on the first floor below Xiao Yao's home. She can be considered as Xiao Yao's childhood sweetheart. Yu Luying was helping her with her math homework yesterday afternoon.

The child, wearing a light blue short-sleeved T-shirt, brown shorts, flesh-colored ankle-length stockings and nude plastic sandals, was dancing the slow three-stroke dance with a chubby boy wearing the county junior high school uniform.

"Sister Yingying, Brother Yaoyao!" Shuyi greeted them both, and then she and the little fat boy disappeared into the crowd.

"...Do you want to inform my Uncle Zhou?" Xiao Yao stroked his chin and joked.

"You traitor!" Yu Luying glared.

"Just kidding," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm not a bad guy."

After the slow waltz was over, the classic fast waltz "Lian Lian Feng Chen" was played in the square - this is a song that Xiao Yao and Yu Luying both like very much, and it is also one of the signature songs of Lao Lang and Ai Da Jin.

Xiao Yao was just about to ask Yu Luying if she wanted to learn to dance so that he could teach her, but Tang Xuewei ran over and stretched out her hand to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao was about to decline subconsciously, but Yu Luying pushed him from behind and said, "Go ahead."

Before the boy could react, Tang Xuewei had already grabbed his hand, and hooked his other hand around his shoulder with ease, leading him to the center of the "dance floor".

"That day, at dusk, the snow began to fall, sadness covered the hills, waiting for the end of youth..."

Xiao Yao felt the warmth from Tang Xuewei's palm, and an inexplicable feeling of discomfort surged in his heart.

There was a hint of provocative smile in Tang Xuewei's eyes. She began to twist her body lightly, dancing the elegant steps of waltz - her dance posture was as soft as flowing water, and every movement was accurate and flexible.

Xiao Yao tried hard to keep up.

He slowly began to relax his body and blend into the dance, and their dance steps began to coordinate.

The so-called "starting to coordinate" means that at least you won't fall, step on others' feet, or have your feet stepped on.

Xiao Yao and Tang Xuewei's bodies intertwined and rotated with each other.

I still remember that I once invited the other party to dance, but was rejected. I have long forgotten the reason, but I only remember that it was barely polite and decent. Now I come to invite him actively, which can be said to be a different situation now.

"If you hadn't gone to school in Shanghai," Tang Xuewei put her head next to Xiao Yao's ear and whispered softly, "Would you still pursue me?"

Xiao Yao smelled the alcohol on the girl's mouth and chuckled.

"Fate comes and goes, and love is not determined by anyone." The young man replied politely and appropriately: "Some people are gone once you miss them, but some people only exist when you miss them."

"Yeah." Tang Xuewei nodded and didn't say anything until the dance was over.

On the other side, curly-haired Old Tang invited Little Apple to dance without knowing what was good for her. Little Apple smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know how to dance for two people."

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Old Tang said, patting his chest.

"Get lost," Xiao Yao came over and put his elbow on Old Tang's waist: "If you want to teach me, why don't you teach me yourself?"

The curly-haired man groaned.

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying saw Xiao Yao coming over, so she grabbed his arm and said, "Teach me how to dance to 'Lian Lian Feng Chen'."

"Kuai San is a bit difficult and not suitable for beginners." Xiao Yao scratched his head.

Having said that, Xiao Yao still put his left hand on Yu Luying's back, clasped her left hand with his right hand, interlaced his fingers with hers and lifted her up, then took her to a corner and began to teach her carefully (physically) step by step.

Xiao Yao's own level was limited, and Yu Luying was learning it for the first time, so she started with the difficult fast three moves. Fortunately, she had a little foundation in folk dance, and her body coordination and speed of comprehension were quite good - after a short while, Xiao Yao led her to spin in a very professional manner.

The two of them gradually increased their speed, and Yu Luying made a mistake and stepped on Xiao Yao.

"Why don't you let Shen Jie teach you when you go back? She will definitely know how to do it." Xiao Yao suddenly thought of something.

"I just want to learn from you." Yu Luying whispered in Xiao Yao's ear - her breath also reeking of alcohol.

Then, Xiao Yao stepped on him hard again.

At this time, it was finally time for "group dance" again.

Yu Luying became excited again, and this time she let herself go and joined the crowd, shaking her head, raising her hands and twisting her body, looking really crazy.

This also set off a new wave of excitement among this small group.

Fortunately, she was wearing hole slippers, which are thicker and heavier, so there is no need to worry about them flying away or being stepped on, Xiao Yao thought.

In the excited atmosphere, Yu Luying completely let herself go, shaking her head and twisting her body to the rhythm of the music.

The beat of the drums urged her body, and the girl's dance steps became agile and unique. She stepped forward with her legs and stepped heavily on the ground of the square. Yu Luying's long skirt fluttered with her dance, and the light green color bloomed brightly in the dance. The girl's arms were raised to the rhythm of the music, and gracefully passed through the air, as if she was painting a beautiful picture.

There was a gleam of joy in the girl's eyes.

The friends around her were also infected by Yu Luying's crazy dance. They joined in her rhythm, coordinated with each other's movements, twisted their bodies together, and cheered and screamed together.

Xiao Yao was shocked by the "other side" of Yu Luying, who is usually a quiet and ladylike woman, as if he had witnessed a completely different her.

Then, he thought of Shen Jie dancing passionately on the T University bridge, and the video that was said to be popular on the Internet but he had not watched it yet.

In terms of level, Yu Luying really cannot compare with Shen Jie in this respect, but in terms of spirit and energy, she is three points closer.

The music of square dance continued to play, and Yu Luying released herself to her heart's content on the dance floor. She found her own freedom in dancing, threw off the shackles, and became the protagonist of this carnival.

……

After a refreshing "group dance", Xiao Yao planned to continue teaching Yu Luying to dance "Quick Three", but the strong rhythm of "Rabbit Dance" was heard on the scene.

Xu Ruiyi ran over and asked Xiao Yao to jump with him.

"Get lost, I don't dance with men!"

“Hahahahahaha, it’s rare for you to come back, why don’t you dance?” Xu Ruiyi seemed a little excited: “Bunny dance, bunny dance!”

"Go ahead and dance one by one," Tang Xuewei said, "I'll teach her how to dance the fast three. I'm sure it'll be better than yours."

Xiao Yao clenched his fists and placed them at his waist. He stood on tiptoe and twisted his knees to the rhythm of the "Rabbit Dance" music, then twisted towards the center of the square with Xu Ruiyi, Lao Tang and others.

I won't go into details about the dancing process. After the three grown men finished dancing the "Rabbit Dance", they followed it up with the "Butterfly Dance".

Xiao Yao was having a great time when he suddenly felt a smell of smoke in his mouth. He was caught off guard and choked, then started coughing violently.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao?" asked Curly-haired Old Tang.

"fine."

While Xiao Yao said "it's okay", he secretly glanced in the direction of Yu Luying and the others.

as predicted.

By the lake, Tang Xuewei was half-hugging Yu Luying. The expression on her face could not be seen clearly. She seemed to be saying something and patting Yu Luying on the back.

Yu Luying was bent over, holding a thin and long object in her right hand. She was coughing violently and white smoke was coming out of her nose and mouth.

Xiao Yao's blood rushed to his forehead.

Even if you want to have fun once in a while, there should be a limit? !

"Hey, Lao Xiao, where are you going?"

Xiao Yao did not answer Xu Ruiyi and Tang Jiaxin's questions, but walked towards Tang Xuewei and Yu Luying with a grim face.

He walked up to Yu Luying, snatched the thin and long thing from her hand, and broke it into two pieces: "What are you doing?!"

Chapter 220 I hope I'm cool

2023-06-03

Xiao Yao strode up to Yu Luying, snatched the thin and long thing from her hand, and broke it into two pieces: "What are you doing?!"

Xiao Yao was actually asking this to Tang Xuewei, but Yu Luying identified herself with him without hesitation.

Yu Luying was suddenly scolded by Xiao Yao in person. She was very angry and was about to explain herself, but Tang Xuewei interrupted her.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" Tang Xuewei said with a smile, "What? You went to a big city and you don't even recognize the brands from your hometown? Your girlfriend said she wanted to try a bite to know what it tastes like, just one bite."

This sounds like he's speaking in Yu Luying's favor, but in fact, he's completely shirking responsibility. The implication is, "Well, it was your wife who asked for it on her own initiative. I was just providing assistance, but I didn't intentionally lead her astray."

"You know what that is and you just foolishly put it in your mouth? What if there's something inside?" Xiao Yao roared silently in his heart, but no sound came out.

Yu Luying seemed to suddenly wake up a little, glanced at Tang Xuewei, and said nothing.

He saw that Yu Luying didn't want to argue with him in public, so he didn't want to make too much trouble in front of Tang Xuewei.

"I was wrong. I won't do it again next time." Yu Luying bowed expressionlessly, with a hint of drunken laziness in her voice.

Xiao Yao slowed down his breathing, turned to Tang Xuewei and said, "You too, when did you become addicted to this?"

"No, no," Tang Xuewei said with a smile, "I'm not addicted. I just smoke blueberry popsicles occasionally to freshen my breath."

"My mother also likes popping beads." Yu Luying added.

"Okay, I'll ask your mother whether I should give her two pieces of mail." Xiao Yao took out his cell phone and pretended to make a call.

Yu Luying took a step forward and punched him hard.

When Xiao Yao saw her red eyes, he felt that she was really angry, so he put away his phone.

The atmosphere was awkward and tense, when suddenly, Shuyi's voice came from behind.

"Brother Yaoyao, Sister Yingying, are you going to leave or not?" Shuyi said, "If we don't go back, the Party School will be closed again."

"Is the Party School still open?" Xiao Yao took out his cell phone and looked at it again. It was already past eleven o'clock.

"It's closed," Shuyi said holding her pager, "Uncle Zhou just called to urge me to go back. He said he had opened the side door for me and was waiting for me to come back."

Xiao Yao went to say hello to Xu Ruiyi and Tang Jiaxin.

"I'll go to Shanghai later and ask you to lead the way," said Xu Ruiyi.

"No problem," Xiao Yao said, "this way, sir."

From the lakeside square, walk along the river to the Chinese Medicine Hospital. After passing the hospital, you can get on the Tonghai Bridge. After getting off the Tonghai Bridge, it's just a few steps to the Party School. The total distance is only about 1 kilometer.

Xiao Yao, Yu Luying and Shuyi walked back home.

"When I was in primary school, I walked this road to and from school every day. I was very familiar with it," Xiao Yao told Yu Luying.

"Shh, don't talk, my mom is calling." Yu Luying said softly, and then like a little crab, she took three or two steps sideways and walked along the railing by the lake.

So, it was just Xiao Yao and Shuyi walking side by side.

Both of them were very quiet and the moonlight was beautiful.

"That little fat boy..." Then, Xiao Yao broke the silence.

"Classmate, good friend." Before he could finish his question, Shuyi rushed to say, "Also, I'm not fat, I just have a round face."

"Oh," Xiao Yao scratched his head: "He likes you, right?"

"I don't know," Shuyi said calmly, "Maybe?"

"So what do you think?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Whatever you think, just leave it as it is." Shuyi lowered her head and kicked a small stone with her toes.

"You... don't like someone, but you still keep them hanging. That's not good." Xiao Yao said.

"Brother Yaoyao, go to hell," Shuyi said fiercely, "What do you mean by hanging on? He likes me, but I ignore him and don't want to be friends with him. Isn't he very pitiful?"

"Damn, that makes sense," Xiao Yao said, "You convinced me."

Shuyi raised her head and looked at Xiao Yao in surprise: "Are you speaking in a sarcastic way?"

"No, it's the truth." Xiao Yao said seriously: "But, will you consider him?"

"Brother, I'm only in the first grade."

"What happened to the first day of the new year?"

"...Let's see how he performs." Shuyi said with relief.

"That's good enough." Xiao Yao said contentedly, "Keep going, muah - if there are flowers to be picked, pick them now, don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck."

"I'm talking to you, why are you still so gossipy?" Shuyi said with disdain.

"How can this be called gossip?" Xiao Yao said, "No matter how you put it, we are childhood sweethearts, right? Shouldn't I care about your happiness?"

"You're just gossiping—and who's your childhood sweetheart?"
