Chapter 116 Dancing Together
The final performance was a chorus, after which the main event—ballroom dancing—would take place.
Even on the playground, they would organize their own ballroom dancing.
A special ballroom dance party just for them.
Before the ballroom dancing begins, the party will set aside some time for everyone to find a dance partner.
Yan Weixi searched for Li Yao's whereabouts on the playground.
hall.
Li Yao wore a white off-the-shoulder knee-length dress, adorned with tiny rhinestones, simple, sweet, and exquisite.
She searched the auditorium for a long time but couldn't find Yan Weixi.
She wondered to herself if Xixi had something to do and hadn't arrived at the hall on time.
She didn't see him until the ballroom dancing was about to begin.
Just as she was about to call Yan Weixi, her phone rang, perfectly timed to match her thoughts.
When Li Yao saw that it was Yan Weixi calling, she didn't dare to delay. After answering the phone, she hurriedly walked out to avoid disturbing the other people in the room who were enjoying the atmosphere of the party.
"Xixi, aren't you in the auditorium?"
The other person quickly replied, "Huh?"
"I was on the playground. I thought you would come to the playground, so I came here."
Li Yao stopped in her tracks: "What are you doing on the playground?"
"I heard you say you don't like wearing formal attire, I thought you'd come to the playground..."
"I didn't expect you to be in the auditorium. I'm sorry... I was just overthinking it."
Li Yao's expression softened, and she smiled gently: "No, Xi Xi didn't think much of it, it was me—"
“When I heard you say you were going to wear a formal dress, I thought you would come to the auditorium party, so I changed it to the auditorium party.”
Upon hearing this, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
"What a beautiful missed opportunity."
"Yes."
Li Yao's gaze was gentle and tender, and the voice coming from the other end of the phone was enough to make her happy for a long time.
Li Yao walked quickly forward; she was going to find Yan Weixi, and she wanted to see Yan Weixi right now.
I want to tell her—
Tonight, I want to dance with you.
Yan Weixi's voice echoed in her ears: "Yaoyao, is it fun where you are?"
"good."
"It's a lot of fun here! There are all sorts of shows!"
"Hmm, did you have fun today?"
She quickened her pace, wanting to reach Yan Weixi before the call ended.
The wind whistled past her other ear, and her long, flowing curls swayed gently as she ran, carried by the evening breeze.
The moonlight illuminated the path ahead, and she, carrying the silvery glow of the road and the anticipation in her heart, rushed towards her predetermined destination—
Beside Yan Weixi.
But she stopped before she reached the finish line.
She held up her phone, staring blankly ahead.
Yan Weixi, who shouldn't have been there, appeared unexpectedly and without warning before her eyes, bringing her immense joy.
Yan Weixi waved her phone at her, smiling brightly: "I thought I could run to the auditorium first and give you a surprise."
At this moment, her destination has come for her.
After a brief moment of surprise, Li Yao smiled and waved her phone along with Li Yao: "Thank you for the surprise."
Li Yao put away her phone, reached out to Yan Weixi, her smile undiminished, her eyes sparkling with laughter, like a bright and beautiful flower in full bloom.
"My dear Miss Yan."
Would you like to dance with me?
Yan Weixi placed her hand in her palm, not feeling there was anything wrong with it at all; on the contrary, she felt very happy.
"of course can."
Li Yao gently pulled her in front of her, put her arm around her waist, and awkwardly started to dance the male steps.
Yan Weixi followed her movements, stumbling as she completed this unremarkable but unique dance.
As the moonlight veil fell, they danced together on a forest path where only the two of them were present.
They didn't need an audience, but became each other's audience, imprinting each other's most beautiful moments into their memories, keeping them in their precious memory boxes, wishing they could treasure them forever.
After the dance ended, Li Yao was reluctant to let go of Yan Weixi's hand, but she knew that she couldn't do anything that would make Yan Weixi feel disgusted and think she was perverted.
Although she had long since become so obsessive as to be almost yandere and perverted, she did not want to frighten Yan Weixi, who was like a treasure and a rose in her heart.
She will restrain herself.
After a brief moment of satisfaction, she let go of his hand. Looking at the hand she had to release, her gaze was tender and lingering, yet secretly concealed a hint of reluctance and longing.
The moment she let go, her hand, which had just felt empty, was suddenly grabbed.
Li Yao was taken aback.
Yan Weixi pulled her towards the playground: "Let's go! I'll take you to the playground!"
Li Yao, who was being pulled along, stopped. "Xi Xi, it's not appropriate for me to go to the playground in my formal dress."
Yan Weixi didn't react immediately: "Why?"
Li Yao smiled wryly: "The playground party is meant for students who don't have the money to rent expensive dresses or don't want to go to the auditorium."
“Every student who went to the playground party followed the established rules and didn’t wear formal attire. How could I suddenly go over and interrupt them? What if it affected them who were having fun?”
"But...I think they're all very nice people, they probably...won't mind this, right?"
The students at the playground party were very enthusiastic and friendly. They would keep praising her for being cute, put cat ear headbands on her, and pull her onto the stage to dance.
This made Yan Weixi subconsciously place them in a position of being understanding and considerate.
But now, Li Yao has corrected her mistake:
“Xixi, in my opinion, we should not assume that others should act the way we want them to, based on our own impressions of them.”
"When you think that the other person doesn't mind, you've already subconsciously projected your perception of them onto the real person, assuming that they would not mind the dress as you imagine."
"That's wrong. We shouldn't expect the other person to be very forgiving."
"From my point of view, if you want to integrate into someone else's circle, you should at least put yourself in their shoes and think from their perspective. At the very least, you should respect them."
"Of course, when the other person integrated into my circle, he didn't respect me. Instead, he assumed that I should be magnanimous to him and not mind his impetuousness, and just casually squeezed in."
“In my opinion, this is not good, and I don’t want to be forced in like this, Xixi.”
Li Yao smiled gently at Yan Weixi: "Of course, I know that Xixi believes everyone is kind and friendly and didn't think too much about it."
Yan Weixi lowered her head: "I'm sorry, Yao Yao... I didn't think that much about it. In that case, I did not consider things thoroughly."
Li Yao shook her head, gripping Yan Weixi's hands tightly, as if trying to pass on the warmth of her palms to comfort her and tell her not to be sad.
"Everyone's opinions clash, and you don't need to get hung up on who's right or wrong because of my opinion."
"Everyone's viewpoints grow and are constantly revised and improved step by step. How can thinking of a stranger you like as a good person not be a good viewpoint?"
There is no absolute right or wrong, and being right or wrong at one time does not mean being right or wrong forever. Who knows, maybe wearing formal attire to a school party on the playground won't necessarily lead to being ostracized, but rather being treated equally and celebrating the party together?
"Nothing can be generalized or consistently applied."
"I'm just expressing my opinion to let you know that this is how I think, so I've decided to change my clothes, hoping to get our lovely Xixi's consent."
"My consent?" Yan Weixi asked, puzzled.
