Chapter 74 Will You Dance with Me?
The conversation outside was still going on. When Chu Junche also asked where Gu Zhaoye had gone, Xiao Jingrun glanced vaguely in the direction of the burgundy curtain, and quickly retracted his gaze.
Qin Si did not miss the dark light that flashed across his eyes and uttered an ambiguous sneer.
People came to talk to Xiao Jingrun one after another. The people from the school board came and called out respectfully, "Master Xiao, have you chosen a partner for the opening dance of the evening?"
The opening dance of the annual welcome party is personally selected by the president of the student union. Xiao Jingrun had never chosen anyone before, but now there is Bai Yanzhu. Everyone thinks he will choose Bai Yanzhu. After all, he and Bai Yanzhu have known each other since childhood, and Bai Yanzhu has the best image and the best temperament among all the socialites.
"I have my own arrangements." Xiao Jingrun said lightly.
After he left, Bai Yanzhu had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She glanced at Qin Si, who always had a blank expression beside her, and thought of Xiao Jingrun, who was as gentle as jade. She whispered, "Where's Mr. Mu? Isn't he planning to come?"
The melodious bells rang in the auditorium, and the lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed. Qin Si walked a few steps and turned back. The cold arc on his lips was replaced by deep meaning, "He will not miss such a fun thing."
Gu Zhaoye finally let Jiang Zhiyue go. Jiang Zhiyue stayed by the window, the cold wind mixed with rain hitting her face, she felt much better. Zuo Qing had run away on her own initiative when Gu Zhaoye appeared, and now she ran back again.
Both of them were wearing dresses. If you look closely, it is easy to tell the difference in the details of the two dresses. Zuo Qing felt that the dress on Jiang Zhiyue seemed to be tailor-made for her, and Jiang Zhiyue's manners and temperament were not at all like those of an ordinary girl.
Speaking of which, there is another very strange thing. Not only did the student union give them dresses, but someone also helped them change into the dresses. Even the hairstyles and accessories were prepared in the locker room.
A very beautiful and elegant woman, dressed like a socialite, comforted them when they refused: "Don't be nervous, everyone has a seat at the party tonight. You are the best students in the public school and should enjoy the treatment you deserve."
"Zhiyue, do you remember the woman in the locker room?" Zuo Qing asked in confusion, "She saw that our clothes were wet, and prepared clean clothes for us, and comforted us not to be nervous. I just looked around the auditorium, but I didn't see her."
"He might be the behind-the-scenes leader of the public school." Jiang Zhiyue's cheeks turned slightly red. It was too stuffy in here because she just heard those people talking, and Gu Zhaoye was hiding behind the curtain a few meters away.
"Look, that's the president." Zuo Qing pointed forward.
The waiter was lighting the palace-style candlesticks one by one. Under the crystal lamp with golden tassels, the warm yellow light shone on the man's black hair. He was wearing a single-breasted black tuxedo with silk stitching on the collar and a white square bow tie.
There was a warm smile on his face, giving off a gentle feeling, like a clear breeze and bright moon.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't hear a word Xiao Jingrun said. She saw Gu Zhaoye standing behind Xiao Jingrun, looking at her through the crowd, smiling and raising his eyebrows, meaning that she should come to him quickly, otherwise he would catch her.
Xia Liqing noticed Gu Zhaoye's gaze and became so jealous that she was almost going crazy, her eyes turned red.
"The public school has a history of more than 180 years. It has been a tradition for many years. At each welcome party, students find a suitable dance partner, which symbolizes their vision for a better future, just like this night..."
Xiao Jingrun's voice was very pleasant, neither hurried nor slow. When the party reached its climax, who would be the prince's dance partner became a matter of great attention.
This will be the front-page headline tomorrow, and Xiao Jingrun's dance partner will be the most watched person of the year, and everyone hopes it is themselves.
The lights fell on Bai Yanzhu, who was undoubtedly the most dazzling woman in the whole venue. She was wearing a luxurious rhinestone dress and high-end jewelry, sparkling as if she had been baptized by golden sand.
She watched Xiao Jingrun walking towards her, her heart pounding nervously, as if it was something she had expected, but she didn't show it on her face and maintained an elegant and dignified smile.
Xiao Jingrun's footsteps were getting closer and closer to her. She glanced at Qin Si calmly. There was no extra expression on Qin Si's face. It seemed that he didn't care who Xiao Jingrun chose as his dance partner, even if it was her.
"Yanzhu, you are so beautiful, I knew that Brother Jingrun would definitely choose you--" Lin Xian'er could not hide her smugness and pride, but before she finished her words, she saw Xiao Jingrun passing by Bai Yanzhu.
Not only Lin Xian'er was shocked, almost everyone in the audience was stunned.
"It symbolizes a beautiful vision for the future, just like this night, choosing the perfect dance partner for yourself..." The voice was getting closer.
As Xiao Jingrun walked, the gathered crowd slowly dispersed.
Jiang Zhiyue was slightly distracted by the gentle voice, and suddenly, a cold wind blew in from somewhere, followed by an inappropriate exclamation.
All eyes were on an inconspicuous place.
Xiao Jingrun held a candle and stopped by the window. The gentle smile on his face remained unchanged as he lowered his eyes to look at the girl who lowered her head.
"Student Jiang Zhiyue, would you like to dance with me?"
The tense string in Jiang Zhiyue's mind suddenly exploded, and she looked up in disbelief.
Under the flickering candlelight, the girl's face was as delicate as fine porcelain, and reflected in Xiao Jingrun's pupils without any flaws.
She was like a disturbed young animal.
Beautiful, fragile, and alert by nature.
She stood very close to the exit, ready to leave at any time, and he could see all her moves.
The air seemed to freeze, and everyone looked in Jiang Zhiyue's direction, talking in whispers.
Lin Xian'er almost screamed, she was going crazy, "Why her?!"
Bai Yanzhu looked at him in disbelief. Although she felt unhappy, as if someone had stepped on her without leaving a trace, she kept her composure and smiled more charmingly, "Sister Jiang is always the center of attention wherever she goes."
"How can she compare with you!?" Lin Xian'er became even more annoyed.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at the gentle smile in front of her, and the sharp eyes were hidden under the lenses.
She quickly shook her head and lowered her head. "Thank you, but I can't dance. I believe others are more suitable than me."
"But the person I want to invite is you." The man extended his hand to her.
