Gu Yuqing danced briskly, spinning in the middle of the dance floor like the wings of a butterfly.
Chen Ya followed her steps, a little clumsily, but not messily.
However, it was these awkward dance steps that attracted the whole dance floor's charm as soon as the two of them started dancing.
Cai Zhenyi was dancing gracefully with the unknown young lady from aristocratic family. Before he knew it, he realized that all eyes outside the venue were focused on the other side.
Wherever Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya pointed, even if they were doing nothing, it was hard not to attract attention. Cai Zhenyi looked over there so often that he accidentally stepped on his partner's foot twice.
When Cai Zhenyi made a mistake for the third time, his partner finally couldn't stand it anymore, shook off his hand, and said angrily: "I don't want to dance anymore!"
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and left the dance floor.
Cai Zhenyi wandered there for a while. Many people pointed at him and laughed at him. His face turned red. He hurried out of the dance floor and wanted to catch up with his previous dance partner, but found that he could not find him.
"You're not dancing anymore?"
Yi Yangbing's voice came from behind him. Cai Zhenyi turned around and saw Yi Yangbing and Zhang Weiqiang.
"Didn't you also suffer the same fate?" Cai Zhenyi asked back.
Yi Yangbing smiled, said nothing, stared at the couple in the middle of the dance floor, and took a big sip of wine.
He had been preparing for this dance for a long time. After failing to invite Gu Yuqing, he had planned to take advantage of the break when the people in the first group were tired and go down to rest, and then go to the dance floor to show off his skills.
But when those two men entered the scene, he gave up.
He was used to being in the center of the stage. If he went in now, he would just play a supporting role to those two people.
Zhang Weiqiang stared at Chen Ya and said, "Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it, he, he is a little bit, that is... well, that..."
He wanted to give a sincere compliment, but jealousy got to him, so he didn't say it out loud. However, everyone around him knew what he wanted to say.
The dancers on the dance floor quickly noticed the focus, and more and more people left the stage tactfully. In the end, only Gu Yuqing and Chen Ya were left on the dance floor.
Cai Zhenyi looked at that place with a bit of bitterness. That was the position that should have belonged to him. But he suddenly thought of something, and cheered up again. He said to Yi Yangbing:
"Let's go look for Uncle Gu."
Yi Yangbing nodded: "I agree."
When the two walked to Gu Zongyan's side, his remarried wife Wen Shujing was sitting next to him, holding their youngest son Gu Benli in her arms. Gu Chengxi, who was sweating from dancing, was sitting on the other side rubbing his feet.
Wen Shujing said softly, "You're always dissatisfied with this and that. I think this boy is quite good. He's so handsome. Yuqing does have good taste."
"Is it enough to be handsome? Being handsome means having good taste?" Gu Zongyan said.
"At least it's not as bad as you think, right?" Wen Shujing rubbed his hand and said, "I think this is a good idea. If Yuqing likes it, then we can talk about it. Our family's conditions don't force her to marry a rich and powerful man. She can marry whoever she likes."
Gu Zongyan became even more annoyed and said, "That's not the problem. You know it... Forget it."
Gu Zongyan thought that as for Wen Shujing, she was eager for Gu Yuqing to get married as soon as possible.
It was Gu Zongyan himself who was unwilling to accept this.
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of discussing this matter with Wen Shujing.
But he didn't intend to let Gu Yuqing go so easily.
"When she's done dancing, ask her to come to the private room. I'll be waiting for her there," Gu Zongyan said to Wen Shujing. "Tell her to bring that boy along. I want to take a closer look."
Gu Chengxi quickly asked, "Can I watch it together?"
Gu Zongyan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then pointed at Cai Zhenyi: "Xiao Cai, you come too."
Cai Zhenyi nodded quickly: "Okay."
Beside her, Gu Chengxi's female classmate whispered to her, "Can I go and take a look too? I'll just watch from the side and not disturb you..."
Gu Chengxi took a breath and said, "Not good, right? By the way, why? What do you want to see?"
"Because he's handsome..."
Gu Chengxi was speechless.
Wen Shujing pushed Gu Benli next to her and said:
"Go, help your dad get the teacup over. Don't say anything you shouldn't say later."
Gu Benli asked in confusion, "What do you mean by shouldn't be said?"
Wen Shujing sighed and said, "Anyway, don't say anything."
Gu Benli tutted, picked up the teacup reluctantly, and said:
"I don't understand why there's such a fuss. It's just about finding a boyfriend..."
"What did you say?" Wen Shujing's tone became stern.
“…”
Gu Benli couldn't understand why his mother took this matter so seriously.
Isn’t it just about finding a boyfriend? It feels like the whole family is discussing this matter. Not only the whole family, but also outsiders have started discussing this matter.
Several people in his class are in love, and he doesn't understand what's so strange about it. Isn't it just that the person is a little more handsome?
Xia Longju, who was standing aside, had been staring at Chen Ya since he saw him, as if his eyes were drawn to him.
At this time, the old friend was still very angry. He did not try to persuade him, but just watched it all with a smile. After hearing Wen Shujing's words, he turned around and asked:
"Do you know him?"
Wen Shujing opened her eyes slightly, not understanding why Xia Longju was so interested in such a thing, and replied with a forced smile:
"This is the first time I've seen you today."
"Do you know who he is?" Xia Longju smiled even more.
Wen Shujing stared with her round, seemingly innocent eyes and shook her head vigorously.
Xia Longju smiled and said, "Okay, interesting, interesting."
Wen Shujing looked at him, not understanding what was so interesting about this matter, but Xia Longju had no intention of explaining.
