Chapter 24: The School Festival Dance (2)
"But Moon, I just want to dance with you. You won't deny me this face, will you?" Han Seong-hee asked persistently, unaware that he had already changed his form of address.
"But I just don't want to dance, especially with you!" And who allowed you to call me Yue! Of course, the last sentence was not spoken by Ziyue.
"You really won't dance with me?" Han Shengxi withdrew his outstretched hand, his body slowly pressing down, getting closer and closer to Zi Yue who was sitting on the sofa, a playful smile still on his face.
"What do you want to do!!" Ziyue's face gradually darkened, and her heart was actually a little nervous. To say that Ziyue had never been nervous before, her pride and self-confidence determined that she would not be nervous. But facing the person slowly approaching in front of her, she was actually feeling a little nervous!!
"What's wrong with you?! I just think your lips are quite tempting..." "Shut up! I'm dancing with you, that's all!" Zi Yue's face had unknowingly turned red, fortunately the hall lights were dim, otherwise Zi Yue would have been laughed to death by Xue Yi and the others, as Zi Yue never blushes.
Han Shengxi took Zi Yue's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor, gently placing his hand on her waist. Zi Yue lightly placed her left hand on Han Shengxi's right shoulder, and without even noticing the sparkling purple crystal, he swept her into a beautiful waltz. Every movement was almost perfect, every spin, jump, and step in sync. The two of them were completely in tune with each other. Han Shengxi only gazed intently at Zi Yue's stunning face, as if his line of sight would leave her and she would run away. (Some dust: I think this is also one of the reasons he didn't see the purple crystal bracelet on Zi Yue's hand, haha, really only looking at the beauty, not at what's in front of him! Some Xi: Isn't what's in front of me a beauty?!)
They were still dancing in the forgotten dance, completely unaware that the only light on in the ballroom was the lamp above their heads. The whole audience had stopped what they were doing and were admiring this perfect match. Only those who didn't know any better were still resentfully cursing Ziyue, of course accompanied by the sound of someone sobbing bitterly.
In the last second before the music stopped, the ending pose of the two was perfect to the extreme. Zǐ Yuè buried her head deep into Xī's chest, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. Xī lowered his head, his eyes never leaving Zǐ Yuè, and tightly hugged her. The whole audience erupted in thunderous applause, and the host's excited voice rang out again: "I think our dance king and queen don't need to be chosen anymore! It's none other than Mr. Hán Shèng Xī and Líng Zǐ Yuè! Please come on stage now!"
Zi Yue and Xi walked onto the stage, Zi Yue on Xi's right. Just as Xi was about to take Zi Yue's hand, he accidentally touched "Purple Ice Heart". He subconsciously lowered his head to take a look and was stunned for a moment - wasn't that the purple crystal bracelet I gave to Yue when we were young? Before the host could react, Xi suddenly pulled Zi Yue's hand and dragged her out of the grand hall, leaving behind a room full of bewildered people.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Xi dragged Ziyue to a small lake and hugged her in his arms without saying a word, muttering to himself: "I finally found you."
"What! What can't be found?" Ziyue stopped struggling, a question rising in her mind. Xi suddenly let go of Ziyue, his lips pressing tightly against hers... he, he, he actually kissed Ziyue!
Suddenly, Zi Yue felt a numbness all over her body. What was he doing? He was actually kissing her! Why didn't she want to push him away? Why did she feel so dependent on the scent of his body? Why? Could it be... that I... like... like... him? How is that possible?!
Just as Zǐ Yuè was about to suffocate, Hán Shèng Xī let her go. Zǐ Yuè still stood there in a daze, why didn't she slap him instead? Zǐ Yuè suddenly came back to her senses, putting away that stunned expression and replacing it with an icy one: "Why did you do this!"
"Because of this!" Xi raised Ziyue's left hand, and the purple ice heart was revealed in front of them. This was the first time they had seen it together in 12 years. "Yue, I'm your brother Xi! This bracelet is what I gave you, there's only one like it in the whole world, I won't mistake it!"
"Are you really my Xi Ge? Really? You're not fooling me, are you?" Zi Yue's eyes were filled with delight, doubt and surprise...
"I won't deceive you, Moon, nor will I in the future, unless it's a white lie! Do you still remember when we met in the lavender field?" Hee said with deep emotion.
