Zhou Yunwan glanced at the two of them and asked Shen Yanli, "Why are you still here? Didn't you go home?"
Receiving Zhou Yunwan's inquiring look, the strong emotions in Shen Yanli's eyes slowly faded, and he said to her, "I'm going to meet two friends and take you to the dance."
As he spoke, he naturally reached out and took the bag containing clothes and water bottle from Zhou Yunwan's hand.
The bag was a bit heavy, but Zhou Yunwan didn't refuse his kindness. "That's perfect. Let's go together."
Zhou Yunwan walked in front holding Sun Manting's arm. Chen Yanli took a deep look at Xing Maohui beside him, then followed.
Xing Maohui then slowly came back to his senses from Shen Yanli's hostile words just now, he is like this? What's wrong with him?
He had to suspect that Shen Yanli was biased against his good friend!
He thinks he has a good career and looks okay, and he basically goes between home and the army on weekdays. He can be considered very decent. The only shortcoming is that he has never had a girlfriend and doesn't know how to please girls.
But isn’t Shen Yanli the same as him?
...
...
His private life is even more boring than his.
Xing Maohui didn't understand what he had done to make him unhappy. He sighed and was puzzled. When he looked up, he found that he had been left behind. He had to put his thoughts aside and catch up, planning to find a chance to ask him in detail later.
The social dance was held in the second-floor hall of the comprehensive building, not far from the auditorium. There were crowds of people along the way, most of whom were young people who went to the dance.
Unlike the luxurious and dazzling dance parties Zhou Yunwan had attended before, the hall in front of her was decorated in a simple and old-fashioned way, and the ribbons hanging from the ceiling above her head made her eyes dark.
The only thing worth seeing was the crude stage built in the front, on which someone was playing the violin, the music was melodious and graceful, changing the atmosphere in the venue towards a charming direction.
As soon as the four people appeared, countless eyes fell on them. Of course, most of them lingered on Zhou Yunwan and Sun Manting, who were shining brightly, especially the former.
"Yunwan, a lot of people are looking at you." Sun Manting leaned over and whispered in her ear.
Zhou Yunwan had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, so she smiled indifferently: "There are quite a few people looking at you, too."
Sun Manting blushed in embarrassment. It was her first time attending such an occasion, so she was inevitably a little nervous. She followed Zhou Yunwan stiffly and found a seat to sit down.
After finding an empty table and sitting down, Zhou Yunwan suddenly thought of something and began to politely ask people to leave: "You guys go play with your friends, we'll sit here by ourselves for a while."
With these two cold-faced devils standing around, how could other men dare to approach and chat with them? Don't drive away Sun Manting's peach blossom.
Shen Yanli's jawline was tense, and his eyes swept sharply over the men around him who were looking at him with ill intentions. In his heart, he didn't really want to leave.
But when he met Zhou Yunwan's eyes, he still said reluctantly: "I'll go say hello and come back later."
"Go, go." Zhou Yunwan waved her hand without any hesitation.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yanli's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was really like what his mother said, that she really wanted to fall in love, so she came to find a boyfriend?
He clenched his fingertips at his side into fists and couldn't help but remind them, "Don't drink, be careful of strangers talking to you... It's best not to pay attention to them."
"Okay, okay, I got it. You can go now." Zhou Yunwan agreed repeatedly on the surface, but in her heart she was complaining about why he was so nagging today. Like a conservative little old man.
Since you're attending a dance, of course you're here to make friends. If you ignore strangers and don't talk to them, how can you meet new people? Are you kidding?
So she just agreed verbally. What she would do specifically would depend on who was the one who came to chat her up. If the other person was too ugly, she would definitely ignore him. But if he was a handsome guy, she would definitely break the agreement.
Shen Yanli sensed her faint impatience, pursed his thin lips, and finally restrained himself and calmed down.
He glanced at Xing Maohui next to him and said coldly, "Let's go and say hello to Lao Tan and the others."
Tan Yinghao and his friends love to be lively and will never miss such an occasion.
Xing Maohui naturally realized that Zhou Yunwan did not welcome them to stay, so he tactfully did not stay to cause trouble, and consciously caught up with his pace.
After the two walked away, Zhou Yunwan immediately went to the bar and ordered two glasses of juice. She placed one in front of Sun Manting and asked about her preferences with a sly smile: "How is it? Did you see the type you like? If so, I'll go with you to ask for vx."
There were a lot of soldiers in the hall. They were wearing uniforms and the lighting was dim. At first glance, they all looked decent. There was not a single ugly one.
Hearing her words, Sun Manting was stunned and asked in confusion: "What is vx?"
Zhou Yunwan reacted and realized her mistake, and quickly said, "That... it means contact information."
Sun Manting nodded as if she understood, and glanced around with a red face. If she only looked at the appearance, it would be difficult to find men better than Shen Yanli and Xing Maohui in the entire hall, so she didn't find anyone who made her particularly excited for a while.
"Not yet." She shook her head slightly.
She actually doesn't know what type of man she likes.
When she was a child, her parents sent her to live with her grandmother in the countryside for a few years. They took her back after her grandmother passed away. The colorful city was completely different from the boring and simple countryside.
There are a lot of people and a lot of minds. Her parents favor her younger sister and go along with her in everything.
The last time she went home to visit her parents, there was a strange man in the house. He was the man her parents introduced to her after listening to her sister.
The man was the son of the leader of her parents' unit. He was ten years older than her and had a son who was seven or eight years old.
She was naturally unhappy about it, but her parents coaxed her by saying that the other party was well-off and would not force her to have children after she married him. They implied that she had found a treasure.
But she was not stupid, she knew they were not really doing this for her own good, they just wanted her father to get a promotion and a raise.
However, the refusal was ineffective. They shouted that unless she could find a man with better conditions than that man, she would have to marry him at the beginning of the year.
She had no one to rely on in Beijing, and couldn't go back home without a letter of introduction. She was also afraid that her parents would go to the art troupe and make trouble. After much thought, she decided to try her luck at the dance.
But when she really got there, she couldn't help but feel hesitant. Did she really want to find just any man and marry him? But she had no other choice...
Sun Manting shook her head and looked at Zhou Yunwan who was looking left and right to help her find a good man: "Yunwan, what about you? What kind of man do you like?"
"Me?" Zhou Yunwan's eyes froze, she turned to look at Sun Manting, and blurted out with a smile: "I like Shen Yanli."
Sun Manting was stunned, her mouth opened wide in surprise, and she subconsciously asked back: "But isn't he your brother?"
