There were two more rains in April, and with the beginning of summer, Shanghai officially entered the season of blooming flamboyant flowers in May.
The day after the college theme song competition ended was Sunday, and the student union internal dance was held as scheduled. It was the graduation season, and the theme of the dance was half to promote communication and half to bid farewell to the seniors who were about to leave school. The planning team required each department to come up with a program, which would be interspersed in various links of the dance. Fu Shitian and several other students in the office who did not participate in the planning were asked to come up with a program together.
At 10:30 in the morning, Fu Shitian went to the small ballroom in the Art Building for the last rehearsal as scheduled. The small ballroom was still being decorated. After Fu Shitian finished rehearsing, he was asked by a classmate to help with the wiring of the colored lights. Fu Shitian was embarrassed to refuse, so he stayed to help. Unexpectedly, he couldn't leave after helping.
When Shi Yi and other students from the department came over, Fu Shitian and another female classmate were sitting at a small table under the stage, inflating balloons.
There was a lot of noise all around, but Fu Shitian was the only one who seemed unaffected, with her head down, concentrating on inflating balloons one after another. The girl next to her seemed to have discovered something interesting, so she ran onto the stage with an air pump and started chatting and laughing with the decorators, and didn't come back for a long time.
"Why are you here? Were you pulled over to help?"
Shi Yi's voice suddenly came into his ears, and Fu Shitian looked up in surprise.
"Well... sort of." She asked with a frown, "Are you here for rehearsal?" She heard a little about the arrangements for tonight's performances for each department. Shi Yi's department was responsible for the dance performances before and after the dance teaching session.
"Yeah." Shi Yi's focus was not here. "When did you come here?"
"Half past ten."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
Fu Shitian was puzzled, "Lunch? It's still early, no."
Shi Yi held out his watch to her. "It's one o'clock. Is it still early?"
Has it been so long? Fu Shitian held his forehead and said embarrassedly, "I forgot to check the time when I was busy."
Not far away, the classmate who led the dance troupe was calling Shi Yi to go to rehearsal. Shi Yi reminded her: "Go eat first, and come back after you finish eating."
Fu Shitian agreed. But when she saw Shi Yi dancing gracefully with her male partner on the stage, her feet seemed to be stuck with nails, and she couldn't move her legs at all.
When she came to her senses, the dance was over. Fu Shitian quickly put down the air pump and was about to leave. The girl who was in charge of pumping balloons with her came back after watching the dance, put the air pump on the small table, and begged Fu Shitian: "Shitian, I have something to go out for a while, can you help me pump up the remaining balloons? Huang Yu's backboard is waiting for us."
Fu Shitian hesitated. Actually, there were only a few balloons left. Otherwise...
Before she could come to a conclusion, Shi Yi had walked up to her without her noticing.
"You're not well yet?" She had a cold face, and her displeasure was obvious.
Fu Shitian was at a loss, and the girl was also frightened by Shi Yi's aura, so she changed the topic and said, "Ah, you have something to do? It's okay, it's okay, then you go ahead and do your work, I... will leave after the fight is over."
Fu Shitian walked down the stairs. "Okay, you've worked hard. I'll go first." She looked at Shi Yi and asked softly, "Shi Yi, do you want to go together?"
Shi Yi didn't respond to her, turned around and walked in front of her.
Fu Shitian was nervous, so he quickly caught up with her and walked beside her.
"Shi Yi, have you ever learned waltz? You dance it beautifully." She smiled and flattered him.
Shi Yi said “hmm” but his tone could not be heard.
"Shi Yi, are you going back to the dormitory?" She shamelessly tried to find a topic again.
"Yeah." Shi Yi still spoke in monosyllables.
Fu Shitian called out softly "Shi Yi..." again, and when he saw Shi Yi's ice-sculpture-like profile, his throat became dry and he suddenly lost all his courage.
Is Shi Yi very disappointed and finds her annoying
Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet air, which was too dull. Shi Yi looked at Fu Shitian calmly. Fu Shitian lowered her head, bit her lower lip, and repeatedly tugged at the hem of her skirt with her slender white fingers.
Like being uneasy.
"Si Tian." She said.
Fu Shitian glanced sideways and replied with a forced smile: "Hmm?"
"Is it really that difficult to say no to people?" There was helplessness in his tone, but no trace of annoyance.
Fu Shitian regained some consciousness and tried to explain, but in the end he just admitted his fault, "I'm sorry..."
"You didn't feel sorry for me."
"I promised you that I would be bolder in the future." She said sincerely, and Shi Yi's cold face softened a little.
Fu Shitian took a peek and continued, "I'm sorry you stayed up all night with me."
Shi Yi said coldly: "You are sorry for your black smoke ring."
The tone was still cold, but the atmosphere was no longer that low. Fu Shitian felt more at ease, bit her lip and smiled, coaxing Shi Yi, "Then if I don't know how to refuse properly next time, I will be punished by having dark circles under my eyes that will never go away."
She gestured on her delicate face with her hands, "A big circle here... and a big circle here too."
Like a little fool. Shi Yi watched coldly, and finally couldn't help but snorted and laughed.
Fu Shitian's amber eyes were lit up by Shi Yi's smile, and his steps became lighter.
The two walked a long way away, and Fu Shitian spoke in a gentle voice: "Shi Yi..."
Shi Yi was puzzled. Fu Shitian opened his lips and changed his words: "No, nothing."
Shi Yi stopped and stared at Fu Shitian quietly.
Fu Shitian looked away, not daring to look at Shi Yi. After two seconds of silence, he said very softly, "Next time you are unhappy, tell me, okay? When you have a cold face, I..."
She couldn't continue, her face flushed and her eyelashes trembled like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.
It caused a slight breeze.
Shi Yi felt soft-hearted for no reason. "Okay." She heard herself agree.
At 6:45 in the evening, the party started. Outside the small dance hall, the lights were as bright as day, and soothing music could be heard from time to time. The people walking around were all dressed up boys and girls. While Fu Shitian signed in, he kept an eye on whether Shi Yi had arrived.
On the internal staff sign-in sheet, Shi Yi's name column was still empty. Fu Shitian cut a corner of the invitation letter and walked in with a calm mind.
The lights in the ballroom were psychedelic and dim. Looking around, there were already quite a few people in groups on the left and right. It was Fu Shitian's first time to be in such an occasion, and she felt a little lost. It seemed that she could stand anywhere, but it also seemed that no place was suitable for standing. She hid at a small snack table in a corner, paying attention to everyone who came in from the door.
Although it was an internal party, with the invitations of former seniors and cadres from various organizations and clubs, there were nearly 200 people participating in the party. Most of the people who came and went around him were strangers to Fu Shitian.
Three boys came to her one after another and invited her to be their dance partner tonight, but Fu Shitian rejected them all awkwardly.
She knew that Shi Yi had a dance partner, but she still had a glimmer of fantasy.
At 6:55, Shi Yi finally arrived as she had been waiting for so long.
She had dressed up specially. Her long straight hair, which usually hung naturally, was styled into big waves. She wore a black off-shoulder dress, revealing her delicate and smooth shoulders, and her collarbone was straight, like a straight line. She looked cool, noble, and sexy.
Like a queen and a princess, she makes people want to submit to her and conquer her at the same time.
Fu Shitian licked her lips unconsciously and moved her feet slightly. However, several people arrived in front of Shi Yi faster than her.
There were both men and women, and Shi Yi had a great time chatting with them, and they went to the lively place together.
Fu Shitian suppressed his inappropriate thoughts and curled himself up in a dark corner.
The party started, and after the opening performance, it was about to enter the free ballroom dance session. The dance teaching session came, and the dance group just led the dance to demonstrate.
Shi Yi and her male dance partner came on stage.
Under the spotlight, her long hair was as soft and shiny as seaweed, her figure was slender and graceful, her steps were light and calm, like an elegant black swan. Her swaying grace easily overshadowed the equally exquisitely made-up female host next to her.
Fu Shitian heard people around him talking and praising: "That girl is so pretty...", "She has such a great figure", "Ah! I like her collarbone!" Occasionally, a girl would scold her boyfriend, "Hey, Liang Chao, hold back, I'm afraid your eyes are going to pop out." The man defended himself, "I'm not, I'm just learning how to dance seriously, aren't I?"
The whole area was filled with laughter.
Fu Shitian laughed along. After laughing, she looked up at Shi Yi, but her emotions slowly subsided. If she were a boy, wouldn't she more or less have imagined that she had a chance? But she was a girl.
Shi Yi will never fall into her hands.
The dance lesson on the stage was over, the lights dimmed, the colored lights flickered, and everyone began to dance freely. Fu Shitian stood alone in the venue, feeling out of place. She turned her back and consciously retreated to the snack table in the corner.
Another boy shyly ran up to her and invited her, but Fu Shitian politely declined, using the excuse that she had sprained her foot.
She is looking for Shi Yi.
As if they had telepathic connection, Shi Yi, who was standing on the steps to the right of the stage, also glanced at her from a distance.
Fu Shitian was sure that their eyes met in the air, because Shi Yi said something to the male dance partner next to him, and walked towards her through the crowd.
Fu Shitian's heartbeat quickened. She wanted to keep staring at Shi Yi but was afraid it would be too deliberate. She turned her head, forked a small piece of cake onto the plate, and pricked up her ears to listen to the movements around her.
There were chaotic sounds of footsteps, one tap, two tap.
Why haven't you come yet? Fu Shitian couldn't pretend anymore. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a pair of feet as white as porcelain and jade in his peripheral vision. Then, Shi Yi's pleasant voice rang out: "Why are you here alone?"
"I'm not very good at dancing..." Fu Shitian tried hard to speak in a normal voice.
Shi Yi seemed very relaxed tonight and smiled slightly, "No one knows how to do it."
"It's not the dance, it's the mood."
Fu Shitian was being taught, and heard Shi Yi ask again: "Do you want me to teach you?"
She extended her hand towards Fu Shitian.
Fu Shitian opened her eyes slightly, and her body instantly began to heat up. The remaining rationality made her concerned: "Is your dance partner okay?"
"It's okay. He also needs a chance to be free."
Fu Shitian's dimples could no longer be concealed, and she reached out and placed her hand on Shi Yi's warm palm.
"Put your other hand on my shoulder." Shi Yi commanded.
Fu Shitian looked at Shi Yi's smooth shoulders, his heart beating as loud as thunder, and he hesitated.
Shi Yi's hands had already grasped her waist without any hesitation. "Your waist is so thin." She sighed.
Fu Shitian's body stiffened, and before he started jumping, he felt his legs going weak.
The author has something to say: Shi Yi: Let me see who is suppressing the rabbit attack.
Chen Xizhu: Woohoo, I'm broke. Tiantian! Can't you be more motivated
Fu Xiaotuji curled up in Shi Yi's arms, her ears filled with the gurgling sound of pink bubbles: Xizhu, what did you say
Chen Xizhu: … …
Ah, goodbye friends
