Chapter 43: What's wrong with being like this?

  But she still had no choice but to follow Lai Ruiyi's lead and dance back and forth, her feet seemingly no longer belonging to herself: "Brother, I really can't..."

  She was still anxious and flustered, with a look of panic all over her face.

  Lǐ Jué yǔ huò zhe chún, xià bā dī de hú dù zhèng hǎo kě yǐ kàn jìn tā huāng zhāng de shuāng móu zhōng: "bù yào jǐn zhāng, gēn zhe wǒ jiù hǎo."

  Translation:

  Lijue's lips curled up, his chin lowered to just the right angle to see into her flustered eyes: "Don't be nervous, just follow me."

  Qin Nian Ge's brain had become a tangled mess, and in her panic, she accidentally stepped on Lai Yue Yi's shoe.

  "Ah——" As a result, the person who let out a soft cry was still Qin Nian Ge herself.

  Despite being stepped on, Li Huan Ying remained expressionless, with a hint of rare smile at the corner of his lips: "Lift your head, look into my eyes, don't be nervous, remember, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be nervous..."

  His low voice was like the best lullaby in the world, Qin Nian Ge involuntarily raised her head according to his words, looking into his deep eyes, and her heart also seemed to calm down gradually because of his words.

  Everything has its reason.

  As long as he is here, she doesn't need to panic, doesn't need to be afraid...

  After all this time, the place she most wanted to be was by his side.

  Because she came to this restaurant temporarily, Qin Nian Ge only wore a common dress, and even the shoes on her feet were ordinary flat shoes.

  She seems to be incompatible with people like this prince by her side, or even the three words "opening dance".

  But they slowly danced together in an embrace, and their appearance gradually evolved into a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

  Qin Nian Ge, who was also in the painting, seemed to be gradually lost in Li Xue Yang's deep and profound eyes.

  At this moment, all the onlookers outside the dance floor seemed to have ceased to exist, and even the gentle piano music flowing through his ears seemed to be background noise from another world. In the flickering light, only he was clearly visible.

  In a daze, Qin Nian Ge seemed to have returned to that silver-filled snowy day once again.

  Although it was only three years ago, now every time she recalls that fifteen-year-old dusk, she suddenly feels as if the memories from that time came from her past life.

  A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, while at the edge of the sky, these elf-like creatures from heaven continued to flutter down gently.

  Although the whole world was white and beautiful like a fairyland, she still couldn't escape her fate of being bullied that day.

  "You're shameless, you cheap thing! You'll end up just like your mother!"

  "Throw it at her! Harder! Hahaha... Look at me hitting her in the face with a snowball!"

  “……”

  A group of kids several years younger than her were able to knock her down with tightly packed snowballs, hurting her so much that she could barely manage to crawl back up from the ground.

  "Hey, what are you doing!" Just because of this shout, that group of mischievous kids scattered with the snowballs in their hands.

  Qin Nian Ge raised her head and saw that person who seemed as crystal clear as an ice snow prince.

  He didn't show her any kind expression, and even his eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.

  But amidst the fluttering snowflakes, he lowered his body and stretched out a hand to her: "Are you okay? How could you be bullied by a group of kids into this state?"

  At that time, she still didn't know that the person who stretched out a warm palm towards her was named Li Xueyi.

  But her heart, which had just begun to open up, sank into an abyss at that moment and could never go back to the way it was before she met him.

  Qin Nian Ge often thought that if he wasn't his mother's child, perhaps he could have kept his fantasies about him hidden deep within his heart for a lifetime, and also allowed the appearance of himself on that day to become the only not-so-bad impression he had of himself.

  But this world has no ifs, and the trajectory of fate still entwines them tightly together.

  Maybe being able to stay by his side is a good thing.

  At least at that time, Qin Nian Ge never dared to imagine that the god-like person would one day hold her shoulders like a real prince and dance slowly with her in this intoxicating music.

  The Goddess of Fate would never show her malice only to humans, precisely because there was a reason for Lianying to hate her.

  Now she can stay by his side and occasionally gain her own little happiness.

  Qin Nian Ge, who was originally timid and didn't dare to approach the dance floor, suddenly hoped that the piano sound would never stop at this moment.

  If she could keep spinning in the dance pool with Lixiao Yi like this forever, she would be willing to pay any price...

  But time cannot stop for anyone's wishes, even if it is a dance that intoxicates people's hearts, there will always be an end to the music and a dispersal of the crowd.

  The beautiful music finally came to a stop as the pianist's fingers slowed down, and Qin Nian's beautiful dream seemed to have also come to an end.

  As the last note faded away, Qin Nian's skirt fluttered with a beautiful swirl, causing her entire person to slowly lean into Lai Yue's embrace.

  And at this time, Lü Wēi Yì, who had been gazing deeply at her, seemed to be enchanted by the magical atmosphere as well. He slowly lowered his face and gently pressed a kiss onto her trembling red lips.

  Although many people surrounded the pool, no one made a sound. They seemed to be enchanted by this dreamlike scene as well.

  Crack——

  A sudden shutter sound broke the silence in the room and awakened everyone who was lost in their dreams.

  Lian Yiwu and Qin Niange also woke up from the curse, hastily turning their heads in the direction of the sound.

  The store manager, who had just acted as the host, suddenly had a Polaroid camera in his hand. He smiled at the two people and held up the photo that had just come out.

  "Sorry, I don't want to disturb this beautiful scene either, but I think if I don't capture this moment, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. You two... really are a perfect match."

  Although this sudden movement was the culprit that woke up her beautiful dream, Qin Nian Ge still smiled with curved lips after receiving the photo.

  Even without the sound of the shutter, that kiss would have ended anyway. But with this photo that freezes the scene, she can see her happy self from just now at any time.

  Qin Niange stretched out her hands and took the photo, bowing to the shop owner: "Thank you!"

  The second piano piece has slowly started, and the guests who have just been stirred up by their emotions are pouring into the dance pool.

  The store manager smiled at Qin Nian Ge and said, "No need to thank me, it was just a small effort. The Valentine's Day set meal for the two of you is already prepared, you can go and have dinner anytime, of course, if you want to continue dancing with everyone here, the chef will remake a portion for you later."

  Qin Niange held up the photo and looked at Li Xueying with a raised head.

  Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere tonight, Lai Rui's smile at the corner of his lips never disappeared: "It's good to come up now, let's go eat first."

  The dance he had just performed was merely a sudden whim of his, intended to tease the little woman in front of him.

  But unexpectedly, he himself was also deeply intoxicated by her intoxicating appearance.

  But now, he didn't have the enthusiasm to continue dancing with this group of people.

  Upon hearing his words, the store owner smiled and nodded: "Alright then, Mu Mu, please show our two guests to their seats."

  "Alright, shopkeeper, please follow me." The doll-faced waiter quickly led them to a couple's seat with a smile, and the prepared dishes were also brought out one by one in front of them.

  Thanks to her recent experience, Qin Nian Ge finally didn't have the timid and fearful attitude she had before when she was beside Li Xiang Yu.

  She carefully put the photo into her bag and then picked up the cup in front of her, taking a sip of the drink inside.

  Lai Yue saw her action, and without changing his expression, he hooked the corner of his mouth and asked: "It's just a photo, is it worth putting it in the diary on purpose?"

  Unexpectedly, Liang Yi had been paying attention to her movements all along, and Qin Nian Ge's face suddenly flushed with a hint of red.

  She hesitated for a moment before stuttering out a rebuttal: "It's not a diary, just ordinary notes."

  Was that the point of what he just said? Liang Yiwu couldn't help but laugh, but didn't say anything more.

  After all the commotion, he was hungry too. Although the food in this restaurant couldn't satisfy his fastidious taste, he still lowered his head and ate with concentration.

  Qin Nian Ge sat across from him, watching as he lowered his head to eat, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart once again.

  Even if it's just for tonight, Lei Ying's attitude towards her will become like before again, she is still very happy.

  The memories she has tonight are enough for her to cherish from time to time.

  Qin Nian Ge took a deep breath, and his smiling gaze also slowly turned towards the dance pool not far away.

  The guests in the ballroom are still swaying gently to the beautiful piano music, and even if everyone can't be the protagonist in someone else's eyes, the happiness overflowing from the dance floor will still make people feel moved.

  Hearing Qin Nian Ge's breathing, Li Xue Yi naturally lifted his head to look at her and also saw her smiling face towards the dance pool in the first time.

  Lethwei Wing turned his head strangely and glanced at the group of people.

  In his eyes, the dance floor was nothing special.

  Compared with the dance parties he had attended, this humble stage and non-standard dance moves were really nothing to mention.

  He turned back with a puzzled expression and asked Qin Nian Ge: "What's so funny? What are you smiling at?"

  Qin Nian Ge still stared at the crowd dancing slowly, but subconsciously replied to his words: "I feel so happy."

  "Happiness?" Lei Ying's eyes narrowed as he looked in that direction again: "Because of them?"
