Lu Boyan was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the study room, watching her from a distance.
He had just finished a video conference, and before he could turn off his computer, Uncle Xu knocked on the door and came in to tell him that Su Jianan was alone in the garden.
After living here for more than three months, Su Jianan spent two-thirds of her time sleeping and watching movies in her room, and the other one-third of her time was either in the kitchen or in the dining room. When did she become interested in gardens?
When I walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, I saw that she was hopping like a little rabbit on the cobblestone path in the garden, having a great time playing with her shadow.
He rubbed his temples and turned to go downstairs.
"are not you sleepy?"
When Su Jianan was thinking about whether there was a way to step on her shadow, Lu Boyan's voice sounded from behind her in the silence.
She gasped in fright, covered her heart and turned around in horror, complaining: "Can you make a little noise when you walk? I took a nap in the afternoon and I'm not sleepy at all now."
"come over."
Lu Boyan's tone contained his usual command, but after soaking in the night, it actually became a bit gentle.
Su Jianan looked at him suspiciously and hesitated on the spot: "What are you doing?"
Lu Boyan narrowed his eyes, a chill ran down her spine, and she walked towards him slowly and spinelessly.
The moon was like water, and she walked slowly over in the moonlight. Her beautiful little face was a bit reluctant, a bit tangled, but had to be obedient. It made people just want to bully her. A meal.
Lu Boyan's hands silently closed into fists, restraining the impulse that would scare her, and made a very gentlemanly invitation to dance.
Su Jian'an didn't expect Lu Boyan to ask her to dance. When she saw him extending his hand, she thought he was going to reward her with chestnuts again. She was so frightened that she took a step back. After seeing his movements clearly -
She blinked her eyes, completely confused...
It was rare for Lu Boyan to ask someone to dance, but Su Jianan actually... avoided it
He frowned displeased and pulled Su Jian'an into his arms without any explanation. Su Jian'an looked at him defensively: "You... what do you want to do?"
He held Su Jianan's slender waist with one hand, and a faint smile with unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips. The ambiguity factor suddenly condensed in the air above their heads.
Su Jianan swallowed her throat, and her breathing rate was a bit chaotic. She was both nervous and expecting.
Lu Boyan leaned down slightly and sprayed his warm breath into her ears: "I said I would teach you how to dance, now I will teach you."
Su Jianan: "..."
Maybe her expression was too stiff and speechless, so he smiled calmly: "What do you think I'm going to do? Huh?"
"I..." Su Jianan muttered for a long time before she squeezed out, "I thought you were going to hit me..."
"... Stretch out your right hand!" Lu Boyan almost gritted his teeth.
Su Jianan obediently stretched out her hand and was held by him. His left hand was put on her arm again. She was confused and asked: "Shall we dance a waltz?"
Lu Boyan said "hmm" and said, "Can you do the square step?"
"I've learned it before. I haven't danced in many years. I don't know if I can cooperate with you." She was so nervous that her voice almost stiffened.
"Try it first."
Su Jianan finally remembered the agreed-upon starting habit of men on the left and women on the right. The start went smoothly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Boyan's dance steps were elegant and skillful, and his masculine scent mixed with the fragrance of flowers kept entering her breath. She was already nervous, but later she felt that her hands and feet were stiff, and she couldn't remember what to do next. Then... stepped on Lu Boyan's feet gorgeously.
She jumped away quickly: "Sorry."
Lu Boyan looked at her deeply and seemed to sigh softly: "Jian An, why are you nervous?"
"Nervous?" Su Jianan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head decisively, "I'm not nervous! I just... I just forgot the dance steps..."
Lu Boyan squinted at her for a while, but did not expose her: "Come here, I will teach you how to dance from the beginning."
Su Jianan clasped his hand hesitantly, then walked over, put his left hand on Lu Boyan's arm, and intertwined his fingers with his right hand.
Maybe it was because the night was too quiet. Not only could she smell his breath clearly, it seemed that even the heat from his body was transmitted to her cheeks through the white shirt, burning her cheeks.
They...does this count as getting closer
No, Su Jianan, you have to calm down! She promptly warned herself that she must stay calm, otherwise Lu Boyan would see everything!
Thinking about it, she smiled at Lu Boyan with what she thought was a very natural and charming smile: "Teacher Lu, let's get started."
Lu Boyan curled up his lips and trained her step by step, from taking a forward step to a backward step, then turning 90 degrees left and right.
The dance steps of the waltz are famous for their graceful and soft steps. I don’t know if it is because of this, or maybe it is Su Jianan’s illusion. She felt in a trance that the moonlight above her head and the flowers and grass around her seemed to be moving forward, backward, and rotating 90 degrees. , becomes soft and moving.
The Lu Boyan in front of him also became taller and more handsome.
Her breathing became more irregular, and her cheeks seemed to continue to heat up.
"Jian An, don't be nervous, relax."
The magnetic bass entered Su Jianan's ears unhurriedly. Instead of relaxing, she became even more nervous, fearing that she would not learn well or that he would think she was stupid.
However, the more eager she was to perform well, the stiffer her limbs became. Lu Boyan seemed to be defeating all her fighting power bit by bit...
But there is no denying that Lu Boyan is a very good teacher. He patiently guides her every move and tells her how to dance to coordinate her body and make her movements most graceful.
"Do you remember everything I said?" he asked finally.
Su Jian'an was heartbroken, raised her head, and met his gaze.
Maybe she saw it wrong, maybe it was because of the darkness of night, but those deep and cold eyes were filled with seemingly endless patience and tenderness at this moment.
With just one glance, she was about to stumble and fall into this gentle whirlpool.
But after just one glance, Lu Boyan's eyes returned to normal, as if her shock and excitement just now were all unnecessary performances.
She recalled all the dance steps from beginning to end, thought about the techniques he mentioned, and nodded: "Remember."
Lu Boyan didn't believe it: "Prove it to me?"
Su Jianan held her head high and said, "I'm not afraid of you!"
Lu Boyan curled his lips and took her into the flower room.
He turned on two wall lamps, but the light emitted was so dim that even his expression could not be seen clearly. Just as Su Jianan wanted to complain about him, he turned around and lit the candles on the flower stand, on the ground, and on the table one by one.
Countless tiny candlelights danced among the flowers and on the green grass, illuminating his clear outline. The scent of candlelight faintly floated in the air. Su Jianan tilted her head: "Teacher Lu, what are you going to do? ?”
Lu Boyan turned around and didn't know where he was playing. The melodious waltz music slowly came to mind. Su Jianan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the candlelight in the flower room, and suddenly smiled.
Hey, Teacher Lu...it's actually quite romantic.
Her smile is really beautiful, reminiscent of the blooming flowers. The two clusters of candlelight are reflected in her bright black pupils, making her smile even cuter and brighter.
Lu Boyan asked her to dance for the second time, and she finally no longer backed away defensively like a frightened animal, but accepted it openly.
Accompanied by the melodious dance music, Su Jianan followed Lu Boyan's steps forward, backward, and turned 90 degrees with ease. Lu Boyan was a very good leader, and she cooperated willingly.
In the music and candlelight, they finished the dance, and Su Jianan did not step on Lu Boyan's feet.
Lu Boyan raised his lips: "Classmate Su, you have made progress."
Su Jianan smiled modestly: "That's because Teacher Lu teaches well! Thank you, teacher!"
The dance music started playing again, and Su Jianan was in high spirits. She held Lu Boyan's hand: "Shall we dance again? Don't let the get out of class end yet!"
Seeing as she was so eager to learn... Lu Boyan took her hand. When he advanced, she retreated. After dancing the square step, he led her in a circle. She cooperated perfectly, and the corners of her lips raised in pleasure as she circled. His eyebrows are curved, like an energetic little elf.
Su Jianan is addicted to dancing, or she likes the feeling of working closely with Lu Boyan. Moreover, there were only her and Lu Boyan in the greenhouse late at night, and it felt like they were the only ones left in the world.
She danced around Lu Boyan over and over again, as if she didn't know how tired she was.
Lu Boyan was like a pampering parent who just wanted to cooperate with her to dance happily.
The candlelight cast their figures to the ground, and it looked like they were almost hugging each other, extremely intimate.
After an unknown number of times, Su Jianan finally said she was tired and stopped panting slightly, but Lu Boyan did not let go of her hand.
She looked at him doubtfully: "Teacher Lu, it's time for school to end. Don't you know that dragging the class is annoying?"
Teacher Lu said: "I taught you and danced with you for so long, but you didn't express your gratitude at all?"
Su Jian'an knew that he would definitely not buy it just by saying thank you.
A bold and direct idea came to Su Jianan's mind, but before she could implement it, she already blushed.
She emboldened herself and refueled herself several times. In the flickering candlelight, she stood on tiptoes slightly and kissed Lu Boyan on the lips.
"Thank you, teacher!"
After saying that, he ran away from the greenhouse as fast as he could.
She ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared after a while, but the soft touch of her lips seemed to still remain on Lu Boyan's lips.
He unconsciously reached out and touched the place she kissed, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
There were few things in his life that were unforgettable to him, but the things related to her always had a feeling that he would never forget.
Even her touch.
After a while, Lu Boyan walked out of the greenhouse and returned to his room. When he passed Su Jianan's room, he took a special look. There was no light coming out, so she was probably sleeping.
Actually
It’s strange that Su Jianan couldn’t sleep. She was chewing the quilt and huddled on the bed to reflect... (To be continued)
