Chapter 190 Peaceful Rivers and Seas, Tranquil Years Ago
But that wasn't the worst of it. Xiao Yichen was slapped twice more, and Fang Ke, still not satisfied, grabbed his shoulder and delivered a powerful knee strike that hit his internal organs.
Xiao Yichen had almost lost all fighting ability and knelt down on the ground, clutching his lower abdomen.
"Young Master Xiao, you're not learning your lesson, are you?"
Fang Ke said coldly from above his head, "Was my gun not fast enough, or was the force with which I kicked you into the sea not strong enough? How dare you offend me like this?"
"..."
Xiao Yichen couldn't say a word, and bent over in pain, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.
"Did your mother teach you to talk to your savior like that?"
Fang Ke reached out and grabbed his chin, the force of her fingers almost shattering his jawbone.
Xiao Yichen cried out in pain, and all he heard was Fang Ke's cold voice saying, "If you really want to die, then continue."
"..."
Soon, Xiao Yichen realized she was gone, and he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body aching so badly that he was pale as a ghost.
Damn it, who exactly is the gangster?
He paused for a moment, then forced himself to stand up, only to become the laughingstock of the crowd when the power came back on.
Xiao Yichen crossed his arms and moved over step by step.
Little B watched coldly: "This show-off... he deserves it."
Every single thing he said just now really hit Fang Ke's sore spots.
But let alone the host, even he was furious when he heard it, it was simply outrageous!
It was good that Fang Ke didn't cripple him; he was even a little worried that Fang Ke might kick him into the sea a second time.
The sea at night is completely different from the sea during the day. Even if the Mo Clan members arrive this time, they probably won't be able to save anything.
After about two minutes, Fang Ke calmed her breathing and said, "Okay, you can turn on the light now."
Little B just hacked into the cruise ship's local area network and controlled the circuit switches, something that seems to be second nature to it.
Little B quickly followed Fang Ke's instructions, turned on the circuit, and the dance hall was instantly bright as day again. The panic subsided, and everyone cheered again as if they had survived a disaster.
A staff member came over to explain the circuit breaker tripping issue, apologized to the guests on the ship, and then gestured to the band on stage.
The beautiful waltz music flowed across the deck once again.
Su Xiaohe squeezed through the crowd to Fang Ke's side, her face full of worry, "Sister Fang, are you alright?"
Fang Ke turned around through the mask and shook his head at the person wearing the panda mask.
"I'm so glad you're alright. Did something happen just now? You and Xiao Yichen..."
"No."
"Oh...where is he?"
"have no idea."
Su Xiaohe looked around and indeed couldn't see Xiao Yichen. He thought that this guy was really troublesome.
"You might have gotten lost during the power outage. What should we do now that you're all alone... or maybe..."
Fang Wei could say to him, "Why don't you stop leading the dance?"
To everyone's surprise, Su Xiaohe also said something outrageous: "Why don't you make do and dance with me? I'm pretty good at waltzing."
Fang Ke: "...I refuse."
Su Xiaohe's face immediately fell. "Why?!"
"You don't meet my standards for a dance partner."
"???"
You're so shy about dancing a waltz? Why don't you just climb to the heavens?
Su Xiaohe said earnestly, "Just try putting aside your looks."
"I can't let it go." Fang Ke looked at him with a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
Su Xiaohe was dealt another blow by her, and laughed angrily, "Then I'm afraid you won't be able to dance!"
Fang Ke chuckled, "Who wants to jump?"
But as soon as Su Xiaohe finished speaking, a man wearing a rabbit mask suddenly walked through the crowd and headed straight for Fang Ke.
"Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"
Su Xiaohe: "..."
Fang Ke: "..."
Not only the two of them, but everyone around them turned their attention to the man.
He wore an adorable rabbit mask, its white and pink hues making his exposed chin appear even whiter and his thin lips crimson.
He wore a black suit jacket, a crisp white shirt with slightly exposed cuffs, and long legs encased in straight, flowing trousers. Even with a mask on, his extraordinary bearing and elegant, understated gentlemanly charm were evident in every gesture.
What caught people's attention, however, was a suspicious crimson lip print on his long neck, half-hidden under the collar of his snow-white shirt, which looked very erotic, and several female guests standing next to him blushed.
Everyone around couldn't help but stare at this scene that looked just like a movie plot, wondering if Fang Ke's hand would land on the man's slender fingers next.
Fang Ke stared at his somewhat comical rabbit ears, and then saw the name on the rabbit ears. Surprised, she couldn't help but sigh and smile.
"Little B, I've changed my mind again. I think it's better to give my senior a proper title sooner rather than later. What do you think?"
Little B felt terrible. "Oh my god, he came so suddenly! I didn't even record anything! What a mistake! I'll turn on the camera right now, and I'll definitely record your dance of the century."
"Dance of the Century, what a great name."
Fang smiled and placed her hand in the man's palm, which he gently grasped.
The two looked at each other through their masks, and could see their own reflections in each other's eyes.
Before Fang Ke could even greet Su Xiaohe, the man led her to the dance floor and started dancing the waltz.
Their steps were light and intertwined, allowing the man to guide her well, his hand tightly gripping her slender waist.
Under his guidance, she twirled, glided, and swayed. They were perfectly in sync, and every dance step was coordinated seamlessly.
Everything around them fades away during this dance, and even as the crowd cheers in amazement at their lead dancer, more and more people join in.
But in Fang Ke's eyes, at this moment, only the two of them remained.
"Didn't I dance with you before?"
Fang Ke felt Yes's fingers tighten around hers, then naturally loosen.
The man lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Why do you say that?"
Fang Ke laughed and said, "Hmm... I've never had such good chemistry with anyone when dancing the waltz before."
Yes asked, his tone devoid of emotion, "Skipped with a lot of people?"
"Yes, there used to be dances a lot when I was studying abroad..." He was halfway through his sentence.
Yes held his jaw tight and ignored her.
Fang Ke's heart softened completely.
"Why is someone getting jealous again?"
After filming the two's epic dance, Little B couldn't help but exclaim, "There's no harm without comparison. Xiao Yichen is completely outclassed and can be carried away."
When the first piece ended, the band on stage changed to a more cheerful "Spring Waltz," and the people below danced even more enthusiastically, but then they stopped.
Yes pulled her along and said, "Let's go."
"etc."
Fang Ke tugged at his sleeve.
"Um?"
Fang Ke waved to him, "Senior, I have something to tell you. Lower your head."
Ye Si didn't understand, but he did as instructed.
Fang Ke, under the gaze of everyone around her, suddenly cupped his face and placed a warm kiss on his thin lips.
"..." For a moment, it seemed as if all was silent, and no sound could be heard.
It was just a gentle kiss on the lips, and Fang Ke chuckled as she released him, whispering, "Thank you for choosing me."
Just as Fang Ke was about to back away, his wrist was gripped tightly. In Ye Si's trembling pupils, too many complex emotions flashed by.
"you……"
His breathing became heavier and faster as he stared intently at Fang Ke, as if afraid that the woman before him was an illusion.
"Aaaaaaah, I'm totally shipping these, host!"
"Ah, Yes's favorability rating has jumped 200 points, it's 350 now!"
"Holy crap, I've turned pink!"
Su Xiaohe gasped in shock and quickly told the cameraman to cut off the live stream.
Xiao Yichen, who was outside the crowd, also saw this scene. The pain in his body was not as intense as the sudden throbbing in his heart. His vision went black, and he tasted a hint of rust in his mouth.
But all he could do was glare at the two of them fiercely...
Ye Si was overwhelmed with emotion. In his excitement, his mind went blank, and all he could do was hold Fang Ke's hand tightly.
The girl's eyes, hidden behind her mask, were brimming with laughter, seemingly confident that Yes wouldn't hold it against her. A surge of excitement welled up in Yes's heart; he desperately wanted to return the kiss exactly as it had been.
With a loud bang, giant, brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, shattering the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Many people stopped dancing and looked in surprise at the sky, where the organizers had prepared a fireworks celebration.
That night, in many people's minds, was a dreamlike and beautiful night, an Eden they had stumbled into. The dazzling fireworks made their dreams even more beautiful and brilliant.
The banner on the Pearl's maiden voyage scrolled back and forth: May the rivers and seas of the world be peaceful and tranquil, and may peace prevail year after year.
