Chapter 115 just one more chance
Huo Junyao had never felt such a deep sense of frustration.
It seemed that no matter how hard he tried, how he calculated, how he was roundabout, or how he was direct, it was useless. In the end, he was still standing in the same position, watching Shen Nian dance with others.
It was very cold in Hong Kong that year. It was the second year since he returned from abroad.
His classmates took him to a school social gathering. He had seen countless such dances abroad, and in his opinion, they were just a hunt for lonely men and women.
It's meaningless.
He had no interest in hunting those women, and even less interest in being hunted as prey.
But he was really bored, so it didn't hurt to go and take a look.
When he arrived, he found that it was much more shabby than the ones he had seen and attended abroad. Moreover, it was not full of lights and wine.
It turns out that there really are pure social gatherings. Young students put on their favorite masks and enthusiastically move around in them, enjoying this kind of happiness that only young people can have.
Huo Junyao still remembers that he was standing by the window of the auditorium, looking at those youthful figures.
He was preparing to graduate. But he was already far from this kind of purity. He returned to Hong Kong City not for comfort, but to expand his territory.
As descendants of the Huo family, no one would sit there and enjoy themselves. They were born with the gene for war in their bones.
It was rare for Huo Junyao to attend a dance party which was like a primary school dance to him.
Just treat it as a show.
Until someone walked up to the window outside the auditorium and stopped.
Huo Junyao heard the girl's voice.
"Are you sure you want to take action?"
"Of course. Is there any boy in the audience who is more eye-catching than him?"
"How can you be so sure it was him?"
"The magnetic field is very strong. If it's mine, it will definitely be mine."
"I'm really impressed. You can talk about picking up a boy in such a profound way."
"Do you think he can't respond to my signal? No, he has been waiting in secret, waiting for the right opportunity to strike."
Through a window, Huo Junyao curled his lips sarcastically, the girl was so bad and bold.
But does she overestimate herself and underestimate men's minds?
For the first time, Huo Junyao became curious and wanted to see what she looked like.
He glanced outside through the lighted window glass, and just then a pair of eyes looked in and met his.
Huo Junyao saw a pair of smart and enchanting eyes, with a hint of cunning that only girls have, but more importantly, it was full of certainty and confidence, as well as the determination to get the "prey" in her mouth.
She was totally glowing.
She was only wearing a simple white long dress and didn't even have her hair done, with only a white pearl hairpin on her ear.
But it's enough to make people unable to look away.
Huo Junyao even felt embarrassed for disturbing others.
He tried his best to keep his eyes steady. He did not forget that he had not put on the mask yet.
So does she.
However, this glance of encounter was hasty for him but indifferent for her.
Huo Junyao saw her turn away expressionlessly, put on a white mask, and then walked calmly into the auditorium.
So many boys stared at her even though they had no idea what she looked like.
For a moment he thought that this might be what she meant, the magnetic field was very strong.
Huo Junyao also put on a mask. He originally just wanted to stay here and watch the show, but finally he couldn't help but leave and followed the figure.
She said that there was no boy in the whole audience more eye-catching than that man, but he insisted on letting her see his presence.
When it comes to attracting attention, he is absolutely confident. Even if his family background is ignored, he will be the brightest light in the crowd.
Huo Junyao still remembers the music that night, an old blues song. The soft music played by the spinning vinyl record, with its old-fashioned romance and emotion, struck the hearts of young men and women.
He stood before her, within her reach.
He also believed that such a short distance was only determined by her fingertips.
Huo Junyao was very sure, and she looked at him. He was even more confident.
However, a white figure walked past him, and her slender white hand was extended to another person.
While Huo Junyao was stunned, the couple had already embraced each other, and there were sounds of sighs all around.
"What a perfect match."
"The man is Song Cili, right?"
"It's him. I heard he's been in love with girls for a long time."
"Who is it?"
“Chen Nian, an exchange student from Haicheng.”
"Oh my god, it's her. I saw her in the library yesterday, but I didn't dare to talk to her."
This was the first time Huo Junyao heard of Shen Nian's name.
That night, Shen Nian and Song Cili officially started dating.
He asked his classmates if they knew Chen Nian, and his friend said, "I told you before, when she came to our college for an exchange, her first choice was your topic, but you even gave up the topic and chose another one, saying that you were tired of doing this kind of nonsense."
Huo Junyao didn't expect that he was the one who refused this encounter first.
What was even more unexpected was that the research topic he crossed out was picked up by Song Cili. This is how Shen Nian met Song Cili.
He was the one who connected them.
The friend even joked that Song Ci Li should invite his matchmaker to dinner.
Huo Junyao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It's not like he hadn't thought about getting in between them, but Song Cili was very defensive.
Their relationship got better and better. They actually dated for three years.
When they broke up, Huo Junyao was handling things abroad. When he came back a few months later, he found out that Song Cili was dumped by Shen Nian.
He had been to Haicheng, but Shen Nian was already with Fu Beize, and they were quickly engaged.
Huo Junyao finally calmed down.
Who would have thought that Shen Nian and Fu Beize would break off their engagement.
He was ready to make a move, and his suppressed emotions were rekindled overnight.
He felt that this time it was foolproof.
It doesn’t matter if she didn’t choose him the first time or the second time. The third time, he will walk in front of her and make her see only him and choose him.
However……
Huo Junyao suddenly woke up from his memories, with sad music in his ears.
Just one last dance
before we say goodbye
when we sway and turn around and round and round
it's like the first time
These lyrics...are they really like their first meeting, if missed, it will be missed forever?
Huo Junyao's heart felt like it was stung, and it was tingling with pain. The longer the pain lasted, the more painful it was.
He stared at the couple in the middle. They danced more and more passionately, as if everyone around them had become air.
Yu Chen asked him if he wanted to have a good talk with Shen Nian, and Huo Junyao laughed at himself.
What to talk about?
It was difficult for him to even get close to her, let alone show weakness and try to please her.
He seemed even more wrong.
As for Fu Beize, who was not far from Huo Junyao, he only heard these few sentences over and over again.
Just one more chance
hold me tight and keep me warm
cause the night is getting cold
and I don't know where I belong
Fu Beize's breathing became tight.
Shen Nian didn't accompany him to many banquets, only a few times, and every time she danced, she hid in his arms like a well-behaved cat.
He never let her dance with others, and at that time he thought that he would have her forever.
He doesn't believe in marriage at all, and thinks it's simply forced. Who can guarantee that marriage will last a lifetime, or that one person will be the only one in their heart?
But if it was Shen Nian, he was willing to abide by this contract.
What was the result? The existence of the contract was given by her.
She didn't give him any chance at all, and even wanted to erase all traces of their being together.
Fu Beize wished he could kill the person who was dancing with her at the moment and replace him with himself.
Han Rui and Gu Heng advised him not to be impulsive, saying that it must be Shen Nian's plan tonight, and he must not ruin her plan.
Fu Beize endured it, staring at Xu Chenyue with gloomy eyes.
