Chapter 112: Coercion
During this time, Li Xin, who was holding shares to rise, felt a little bored in his spare time in addition to doing his own work in the office.
Especially at night, the feeling of emptiness and loneliness enveloped his heart as the night fell, making him really unable to stay in his dormitory.
Whenever this happens, he always thinks of the gentle ten thousand waters. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the more I think about it, the stronger the feeling of loneliness and loneliness becomes
On Saturday night, Li Xin, who had been bored in the dormitory for a long day, drove to Jiangnan University, and he wanted to relax at the dance here. Every Saturday night, the Jiangnan University Student Union holds a ball, which is usually held on the second floor of the cafeteria next to the dormitory building of the Chinese Department.
Most of the women at the dance are students from Jiangnan University and nearby universities, most of the men are students, and many are young people from outside the school like Li Xin, doing everything, most of them are employees of enterprises and institutions.
Compared with off-campus dance halls, girls at campus dances are much simpler, which is why many young people outside of school like to dance here.
When Li Xin entered, the dance party had already started for a while. The ballroom was full of people, and only about a third of the women were women, as always, there were more wolves and less meat.
The dance music being played in the stereo is "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love", the volume is turned up relatively loud, and the sound is a little deafening. This is a rumba rhythm dance music, and the movements of the rumba are a little more complex than the slow three and slow four, so not many people enter the dance floor to dance, and most of them stand around the dance floor to watch.
Li Xin used to be a frequent attendee at the dance when she was in school, and she was familiar with the atmosphere of the campus dance hall.
He went to the bar and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola, then went to the other side of the ballroom to find a seat by the window, where the music was relatively quiet, and it was convenient to observe the whole dance floor, which was conducive to choosing a favorite dance partner.
Li Xin smoked a cigarette while listening to familiar dance music.
The breeze outside the window, the indoor lights are swaying, the dance music is melodious, and the noise is filled with the restlessness of youth.
After Li Xin finished smoking, she walked to the dance floor and invited a girl next to her to dance two dances. This girl is a freshman, she doesn't know much about dancing, and she is in her beginner stage.
Although Li Xin's dancing skills are good, the two of them still stumbled and danced. After the dance, the two briefly chatted a few words, and the girl smiled and said hello, turned around and went to find her companion.
This situation is very common at college dances, where Li Xin often dances with her classmates and friends at campus dances such as medical universities, ethnic colleges, and art colleges, both in school and after graduation.
The lights in the ballroom dimmed, and it was disco time, indicating that the dance party was halfway over.
Li Xin found a place to sit down, he doesn't like to dance very much, but he likes to watch others dance, and he also likes to listen to music with this rhythm. "Shy Like An Angel" was playing on the stereo, and it had a strong sense of rhythm.
Li Xin lit a cigarette and quietly listened to familiar music, while observing, paying attention to the selection of dance partners. Some girls come with their boyfriends or male classmates, and there is little chance of inviting them to be dance partners, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.
At this time, he saw three girls coming in at the door of the dance hall, they stood on the dance floor and watched for a while, probably because they didn't like to dance disco, so they turned around and sat down next to Li Xin, chattering and laughing.
Through the flickering lights, Li Xin saw that the girl sitting in the middle was wearing a dress, shawl hair, and a braided hair on each side, which was stuck together with a hairpin at the back of her head, and there was a pink flower on the hairpin.
When they walked all the way just now, Li Xin noticed that her figure was very slim, but not very skinny, but belonged to the bodybuilding type, and the dress was tightened just right at the waist, showing off a well-proportioned figure. Under the skirt is a graceful calf, and a pair of white high-heeled leather sandals are worn on the feet.
Even among the many girls in the ballroom, she is very conspicuous. Li Xin noticed that there were already a few boys walking towards this side intentionally or unintentionally, standing nearby, probably having noticed her and planning to invite her to be a dance partner.
After the disco dance, the lights in the ballroom change again, and it's ballroom dance time again.
When the dance music just started, Li Xin got up, preempted the other boys, came to the girl in the dress, stretched out her hand and invited her, "Classmate, please dance!"
She looked up at Li Xin and said, "Wait a minute, the dance music has just begun, and I don't know what to dance yet." ”
Li Xin said: "It's 'One Day When We Were Young', a three-step dance music, three slow steps, and it's easy to dance. ”
She hesitated, looking at the two female classmates beside her, as if asking for their opinions. The two girls next to her smiled and pushed her and said, "Go jump." ”
So she stood up, agreed to Li Xin's invitation, and followed Li Xin to the dance floor. A few boys standing next to him, seeing that Li Xin took the lead, were still unwilling, originally wanted to wait for Li Xin's invitation to fail, and then take advantage of the situation, but now that they have no chance, they have to leave in a huff.
Li Xin's hand wrapped around her soft and boneless waist and led her to dance to the music. After only two or three steps, Li Xin knew that she danced well, not only grasped the rhythm of the music well, but also could well comprehend the message conveyed by Li Xin's hand.
"You're dancing so well!" Li Xin said.
"It's you who bring it well. She replied with a smile.
"Are you from Jiangnan University?" asked Li Xin.
She chuckled and didn't speak.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" asked Li Xin.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "Are all you boys like this?
Li Xin suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's not a household registration check, the two of them dance together, if they don't talk about something, they are silent with each other, their brows are furrowed, people who don't know see it, and they think that the two are enemies, isn't it even more embarrassing?"
She smiled and said, "Then we can't talk about anything else?"
Li Xin said: "I think this kind of Chinese-style chat actually makes sense. You think, if I come up and ask you, 'Tonight's good?' How would you feel? You must think, 'What's the matter with this man, is there something wrong with him?' Don't you know if the weather is good today? ”
She laughed and said, "You're funny!"
Li Xin said: "Listen to your accent, it's from the Northeast, right?"
She said, "Yes, from Harbin." ”
Li Xin said: "It's a good place, but it's too cold in winter. ”
She asked, "Where are you from?"
Li Xin said: "I am from Jiangnan. ”
She smiled and said, "No wonder I'm afraid of the cold." ”
Li Xin asked, "What major do you study?"
She said, "Guess. ”
Li Xin smiled and said, "How can you guess this! The girls who look very literary and artistic on campus are actually engineering women, and the girls who look like engineering men are actually the top students in the foreign language department." ”
She laughed and asked Li Xin, "Then what kind of category do you think I belong to?
Li Xin looked at her very seriously and said, "You are such a literary fan, you will definitely not be an engineering girl." ”
She smiled and said, "Let me tell you, I'm from the Department of Computer Science." ”
Li Xin asked, "Department of Computer Science of Jiangnan University?"
She said, "No, Shida." ”
Li Xin said, "Oh, the future teacher. ”
She said: "I don't want to be a teacher, teaching primary and secondary school students, it's a headache to think about!"
At this time, the dance music ended, Li Xin and her walked back to the place where they were sitting just now, and saw that there were already people in the seats, and her two classmates were not there, so they were probably invited to dance, so Li Xin stood on the dance floor with her and chatted.
"You're a sophomore, right?" asked Li Xin.
"How do you know?" she said.
"I guessed, but judging by your expression, I should have guessed correctly. Li Xin said with a smile.
"How do you guess?" she asked.
"It doesn't feel like it's as big as the juniors and seniors, and it's not as small as the freshmen, so it's a sophomore. Li Xin joked.
The dance music sounded again, it was a slow four-step dance. Li Xin looked at her and made a gesture of invitation, she smiled knowingly, and walked onto the dance floor with Li Xin.
"You don't look like a student, do you?" she asked, looking at Li Xin with her big pretty eyes.
"How can you say that I don't look like a student?
She smiled and said, "Not really." It's that you're much more experienced than your students, and you're a teacher at Jiangnan University, right?"
Li Xin pretended to smile mysteriously and did not speak.
Seeing this, she continued to ask, "Are you really a teacher?
Li Xin decided to make a joke with her and said, "I won't say it yet, anyway, I know what courses your computer science department is going to take, do you believe it or not?"
She blinked wide, looked at Li Xin and said, "Tell me, I see if what you said is right." ”
Li Xin cleared his throat and said as a teacher: "This, the basic course, not to mention high mathematics and college physics in the freshman and sophomore years, there are also linear algebra, discrete mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics. Professional courses, C language programming, operating systems, data structures, assembly language programming and compilation principles are indispensable, am I right, classmates?"
She was surprised and asked, "No, are you?
Li Xin said: "Do you look like it?"
She hesitated and said, "It's kind of like." ”
Li Xin smiled: "Congratulations, you guessed wrong, classmate." ”
She smiled and said angrily, "Then what the hell are you doing? You are neither a student nor a teacher, and you know our curriculum, and you also learn computer software?"
Li Xin said: "I guessed it right, I used to learn this." ”
And she said, "So what are you doing now? doing software development at a computer company?"
