As the rhythmic music sounded, the international students began to dance to the cheerful songs.
At this time, the role of the dance partner comes to the fore.
In the center of the venue, pairs of young men and women were dancing in pairs. The European and American students obviously knew this very well, and the dances were natural and informal.
There are also many who are not very good at dancing, so they just sway slightly to the music and talk to their dance partners.
The most embarrassing ones are the international students who have not found a dance partner.
They silently retreated to the edge of the stage, sat down at the table, ate snacks and drinks as lonely as Shen Yu, and looked at the couples on the dance floor boredly.
There were men and women, but there were not many of them, not even the surrounding tables could be filled.
Moreover, they were not familiar with each other, so they sat sparsely and far apart, no one talked, and they were as lonely as a dog.
The table in front of Shen Yu had already eaten a bunch of melon seed shells. Looking at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and he could go home in half an hour.
Rika Asaba just won the prize. Now she was holding the winning ticket and couldn't wait to go backstage to receive the prize.
An international student from Russia was as strong as a bear and not handsome. Such a sturdy figure was not very popular among young girls, so he ended up alone in embarrassment.
He walked towards Shen Yu with a glass of light yellow ice water, and then sat down next to him.
"Hey man, do you mind if I sit here? (English)"
“Sit anywhere. (English)”
Shen Yu's English level is still very good. When studying, many materials are in English. Compared with reading the translated version, Shen Yu prefers to read the original English version. After all, everyone's translation understanding will be different. If you read the original version yourself, , it feels more accurate.
Shen Yu looked at this elder brother and thought that there was a reason why he couldn't find a dance partner.
Putting aside everything else, just his appearance makes him look like an uncle.
He observed the men and women who had not found a dance partner and discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
Needless to say, men are basically not good-looking, and they don’t have any unique temperament. They are just ugly, and girls will think you are poor.
On the contrary, 70% of the girls who have not found a dance partner are very beautiful and have a good temperament, giving people a very cold feeling.
This phenomenon reminds Chen Yu of the marriage issue that is often mentioned now.
In big cities, older leftover women are very common. Their own conditions are good, but they just don’t have a partner. The reason is very simple. Men’s mate selection is downward compatible, while women’s mate selection is upward compatible.
If men and women are equally divided into the four levels ABCD, excluding the normal horizontal marriage, that is, the kind where they are well matched, then D women can accept ABC men, C women can accept AB men, and B women can accept A men. There are not enough men, so there are many A women and D men left. As a result, high-quality women in first-tier cities cannot find boyfriends, and poor men in remote mountainous areas cannot find wives.
After Wei Wei sat down next to Shen Yu, he felt much more comfortable. At least the feeling of being as lonely as a dog amid the bustle of the venue was much lessened.
"Dude, come and have a drink."
Vicky raised the light yellow ice drink in her hand and looked at Shen Yu.
Shen Yu didn't dislike this cheerful young man and raised his own drink to clink one with him.
"What's your cup?" Shen Yu asked.
"Like soda water with lemon juice," Veitch said.
"Is it sour?"
"Not sour."
"Do you want melon seeds?"
"good."
Chen Yu poured some melon seeds on his table, and Vicky was stunned. He rarely ate such melon seeds with the skin on.
So a pair of big hands worked hard to squeeze such a small melon seed, and finally peeled out the melon seed kernel, put it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Man, it's too much trouble to eat this food. It doesn't have as much meat as mosquitoes." Vicky said distressedly.
Chen Yudunima was dumbfounded.
This was the first time he saw someone with hands peeling melon seeds. He was such a strong man, and the action of peeling melon seeds looked like pinching an embroidery needle.
"Crack it with your teeth."
After Shen Yu demonstrated it once, Vicky suddenly realized it and imitated Shen Yu in eating melon seeds.
So I had a mouthful of shells.
The two chatted casually, and Vicky felt that she had found a partner and was no longer alone in this lively dance.
"Dude, have another drink."
Vicky raised his glass of lemon soda again, and Shen Yu had no doubt that if it were replaced by wine, he could drink a bottle.
Shen Yu was about to pick up his glass and clink it with him, when a gust of fragrant wind blew in front of him, and both he and Vicky raised their heads.
"Hello, I am Lee Hyun Jung from South Korea, can I ask you to dance? (English)"
The girl was very beautiful, with extremely white skin. She bravely stretched out a hand in front of Shen Yu and looked at him with a smile.
As one of the remaining girls from the dance, Li Xianjing naturally received many enthusiastic invitations from boys, but she rejected them all. Now that there were fewer people, she could see the depression here.
Shen Yu's good-looking appearance is not the kind of effeminate thing that looks like a young girl. His facial features are deep and three-dimensional, giving people a very strong and sunny feeling.
Although the big guy next to him is also very 'steel', their temperaments are completely different. They are melancholy, with a softness in the steel, and they look very intelligent.
Pretty girls have a very good eye for people. Li Xiang often says that Shen Yujun looks fierce but is actually very gentle, like an uncle in a killer who is not too cold.
Vicky looked at the girl and then at Shen Yu. As for Asians, he was face blind and couldn't tell how good-looking the two of them were.
"Sorry, I can't dance."
Shen Yu refused.
Vicki breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the glass and continued to clink glasses.
"Shen Yujun! Look at our headphones!"
After exchanging the prize coupon for earphones, Asaba Rika happily ran back and showed the earphones to Shen Yu. Then she looked curiously at the girl standing next to him, and the girl who stretched out her earphones before Shen Yu had time to take them back. hand.
So Lixiang subconsciously acted like a lady, straightened her chest, and slowed down her hurried pace.
Like a vigilant kitten, he put away the naughty look on his face, put the headphones into his bag, and then took the gloomy hand:
"Let's go dance!"
"Hey...! I..."
Shen Yu was pulled away by her.
Wei Wei and Li Xianjing were left stunned.
"How about I dance with you?" Vicky asked.
"Thank you, I can't dance." Li Xianjing smiled, turned and left.
"If you don't know how to dance, why would you come here and invite others to dance? There's something wrong!"
Vicki complained and looked at Shen Mo who was dancing with a cute girl over there. He felt as lonely as a dog. He pinched a melon seed and chewed it. Then he dried a mouthful of shells, spat it out with two spitting sounds, and took another sip. soda water.
It wasn't sore just now, but now I'm so sore that my eyes are squinting.
…
On the dance floor, Shen Yu stared at Asaba Rika with a straight face.
Asaba Rika blushed and looked down at her toes.
The two held hands.
The palms of my hands were filled with sticky sweat, mingling with each other.
To the rhythm of the music, two people who couldn't dance twisted their bodies stiffly.
Holding her hand, feeling the pink softness, Chen Yu's heartbeat was fast, and the rhythm of her breathing was a little chaotic.
He held it in for a long time and then said two words:
"Nonsense..."
"I… "
Asaba Rika didn't know what happened just now, so she bravely dragged Shen Yu to the dance floor.
At this moment, I felt that my little hands were surrounded by warmth, and I could no longer hear the music in my ears, only the thumping of my own heartbeat.
His generous palms wrapped her little hands, and the heat came from his palms, flowed into her body, along her neck, and rushed up to the tips of her ears, bringing out a layer of crimson color.
Are all boys’ hands so hot?…
Lixiang felt dizzy and numb. She seemed drunk even though she hadn't drunk a single bit of wine.
"Is it fun?"
"Um… "
"?"
Shen Yujun must be very angry that she dragged him onto the dance floor, but...
She suddenly raised her head bravely and looked into her gloomy eyes:
"Shen Yujun is my dance partner."
