Chapter 6: The Prom
After the sorority performance, it was the dance party, and everyone moved from the auditorium to the gymnasium. The gymnasium has long been properly arranged, the lights and sound have been ready, the music has started, and the students have begun to invite their favorite members of the opposite sex to dance in the center of the dance floor. Peng Bo, Zhang Chu, and Lu Xiaojun in our dormitory all invited the girls in Lin Qian's dormitory to dance, Zheng Xu and I couldn't dance, so we had to stand by and watch, Lin Qian said to me: "You should also learn to dance, there will be a lot of such occasions in college, if you don't learn, who will I find to dance." I scratched my head and said, "This is too difficult, I really can't learn it, it's not like you haven't taught me in your house before." ”
At this time, Fan Rupeng came over and said to Lin Qian: "Lin Qian, can I invite you to dance." Lin Qian said, "No, Thanks." Fan Rupeng said: "Beauty, just give a face, we have all married a friendship dormitory." Lin Qian leaned closer and said, "I just dance with the people I like." Fan Rupeng didn't react at once, he was stunned and pondered for a while, as if he understood what she meant, so he had to leave in disgrace.
After today's stunning appearance, Lin Qian naturally became the focus of attention of the boys, and boys kept coming to invite Lin Qian to dance, but she politely refused. Lin Qian said to me: "Hey, you should hurry up and dance with me, it's not a problem for me to keep rejecting people like this." "My head shook like a rattle. Lin Qian said: "If you don't go, then I'll really dance with someone else." I grabbed Lin Qian's hand and said, "Isn't it good to take a look here, why do you have to jump." Lin Qian came up to me and said with a smile, "Why are you pulling me?" Do you want me to jump with others? I didn't want to deny it, but I was too embarrassed to admit it, so I turned my face away and pretended to look somewhere else. Lin Qian held my face with her hand, turned my head and said, "Ask you, don't pretend not to hear." I reluctantly said, "Yes." Lin Qian smiled: "It's pretty much the same, since you are reluctant to let me go, then I won't accept anyone's invitation tonight, except for you." I didn't know how to answer her, so I smiled awkwardly at her.
At this time, when the song was over, everyone came back from the dance floor, and Peng Bo said, "Why don't you two go to dance?" Wu Jing said, "Yes, Xu Xuan, why don't you invite Lin Qian to dance?" I said with an innocent face, "I can't jump." Wu Jing said, "I can't learn." Lin Qian said: "This person is too lazy to die, I want to teach him, but he refuses." As soon as these words came out, I was immediately condemned by everyone. Dai Lili said: "Lin Qian, don't pay attention to him, there are people over there who want to invite you to dance." Lin Qian said: "Which of you can take Zheng Xu, he doesn't know how to jump." Dai Lili said, "I'll come." Zheng Xu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and slow to learn." Dai Lili said: "What's polite, we have all married a friendship dormitory, and we can't help each other." ”
At this time, the music sounded again, and Lin Qian said, "Since you're here, why don't you dance with me?" I said, "I can't jump at all, how embarrassing it is for so many people to watch." Lin Qian said: "The easiest way, you just follow me slowly, don't care about footwork." I was still hesitating, Lin Qian took my hand and dragged me directly to the dance floor, I held Lin Qian's small hand with one hand, and wrapped Lin Qian's waist with the other, and followed her slowly on the dance floor stiffly, my nervous palms were full of sweat. I was afraid that my sweaty hands would wet Lin Qian's best-looking skirt, so I had to clench my fists and hug Lin Qian's waist.
Lin Qian said: "It's okay for you to relax, don't be so straight." I said, "I'm afraid to step on your feet." Lin Qian said: "Don't think about your steps, be natural, just like you usually walk with me." I said, "There is no such thing as a face-to-face walk." Lin Qian thought for a while and said, "If you hold my waist tightly, just hold me and walk around." I withdrew the hand that was around her waist, wiped it on my clothes, and said, "I sweat on one hand." Lin Qian smiled: "You are so nervous." ”
After jumping for a while, I still stepped on Lin Qian's toes, Lin Qian screamed softly, the sweat on my forehead flowed down, and said, "Does it hurt." Lin Qian wiped the sweat on my forehead and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, just jump like this, it's good, come on." "There's a lot of people on the dance floor, and occasionally people bump into each other. After a while, I saw that another pair of dance partners were about to bump into us, and they flashed around, but they stepped heavily on Lin Qian's instep, Lin Qian screamed in pain, squatted down and rubbed her feet. I squatted down and said, "Are you okay, why don't we jump." ”
Lin Qian rubbed her feet twice, pulled me to stand up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, keep jumping." I said, "That foot was quite heavy just now, find a bright spot to see if it's swollen." Lin Qian said: "I'm not so squeamish. ”
It was easy to get to the end of the song, and we came to the sidelines, and I was already sweating profusely. Zhang Chu glanced at me and said, "Aren't you, dancing and sweating so much." Lin Qian said: "He was nervous, and his hands were full of sweat." As he spoke, he grabbed my hand and wiped the sweat from my palms with his palms.
At this time, Peng Bo and Wang Ying came over, and Wang Ying said, "You can't see it, Peng Bo is dancing well." Li Xuan said: "Yes, I also danced with him just now, and it was indeed very good." Peng Bo laughed: "I used to take a dance class. Dai Lili said: "Then I'll dance with you and learn from you." Peng Bo said, "Yes, it's an honor." ”
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice coming from the stereo: "Hello everyone, I'm Luo Jiajia from the music department." Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see Luo Jiajia carrying a guitar on her back, standing next to the mixer with a microphone, and said: "Today is our school's annual freshman ball, just now because I want to be the host, so I didn't have the opportunity to perform for everyone, this is just taking this opportunity, I will give you a song I wrote myself, this song has a bright rhythm, very suitable for dancing, the song is called "First Time I Met You". As soon as the words ended, the audience burst into applause and the screams of the girls.
Luo Jiajia paused and said: "In addition, I also want to give this song to Miss Lin Qian from the Department of Literature, she is also my high school classmate, I want to say to her, the first time I met you, it is my best memory." When everyone heard this, they all applauded and coaxed, and looked around to see where Lin Qian was. Several girls in Lin Qian's dormitory were going crazy, and shouted one by one: "Wow, Lin Qian, the handsome guy specially sent you a song!" Lin Qian glanced at them and said, "Don't be a nymphomaniac, go and dance." ”
Luo Jiajia's voice playing and singing came from the speaker, not only the song is good, the lyrics are also very beautiful, and the singing skills are not to be said. As soon as he raised his voice, the audience burst into applause.
I looked at Lin Qian, Lin Qian pulled my arm expressionlessly and said, "Let's go, let's continue to jump." I said, "Spare me, for you see my sweaty clothes are wet." Lin Qian said: "If you don't jump, it is estimated that other boys will come to invite me to jump." I said, "Why don't we go to the mixer and listen to him sing, and he will give you the song by name, and you have to go over and thank you." Lin Qian looked at me with an incredible look and said, "Hey, when did you become so big-hearted, you used to look down on me being with him the most." I said, "Didn't I have a bottom in my heart before?" Lin Qian pointed to my nose and smiled: "Oh, I see, you now think that you have chased me anyway, so it doesn't matter." People send me songs, and you let me send them to the door myself. I said, "What do you mean, am I like that?" Lin Qian smiled: "You are!" You actually plan to sell me in order not to dance, you conscienceless. I pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Heaven and earth conscience, I haven't thought about it like that, don't you know how good I am to you?" Lin Qian smiled: "But what you just said makes sense, I have to go over, otherwise it will seem that we are too small." I said, "Do you want me to go with you?" Lin Qian said: "Nonsense, can you rest assured that I will go alone?" ”
I followed behind Lin Qian and came to the mixer. When Luo Jiajia saw Lin Qian coming, she immediately restrained her contemptuous expression, unconsciously showed a smile on her face, and sang even harder. Lin Qian nodded and smiled at him politely, stretched out her hand and applauded him a few times to show approval, I stood behind Lin Qian, put my hands in my pockets, and pretended to look around boredly.
No one will come over to invite Lin Qian to dance, because everyone is still more knowledgeable, and they know that if Lin Qian is dragged to dance at this time, they will definitely offend Luo Jiajia.
After singing the song, the audience burst into applause and applause, and many girls were shouting: "One more!" Luo Jiajia picked up the microphone and said: "Thank you, thank you, today is a ball, it can't be my personal concert, I will have the opportunity to sing to everyone in the future, thank you." The audience burst into applause.
Luo Jiajia put down the microphone and guitar, walked over to Lin Qian gracefully, bowed slightly in front of Lin Qian and said, "Do you still like the song just now?" Lin Qian bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, the song is very good, and she deserves to be a great talent in the music department." Luo Jiajia said: "I'm smiling, I haven't seen you for more than a year, are you okay." Lin Qian said: "It's good, I didn't expect you to be in this school." Luo Jiajia said: "Yes, such a coincidence, when I was preparing to host the speech, I saw your name on the program list, I thought it was who had the same name and surname as you, but I didn't expect it to be you." Lin Qian said: "Yes, when I saw you on stage just now, Xu Xuan and I were very surprised, you are also in this school." Luo Jiajiaqi said: "Xu Xuan? ”
When I heard him mention my name, I turned out from behind Lin Qian and said, "Luo Jiajia, hello." Luo Jiajia was shocked when she saw me and said, "Why are you here?" I smiled and said, "You can come here from all the way from Beijing, why can't I come?" Luo Jiajia didn't want to talk to me, and said to Lin Qian: "Lin Qian, let me ask you to dance." Lin Qian smiled and pointed at me and said, "I'm sorry, I want to dance with him." ”
Luo Jiajia already thinks very highly of herself, and she has just been sought after by the audience, and she is even more fluttering. And he used to get along well with Lin Qian, he thought that as long as he opened his mouth to invite, Lin Qian would gladly agree, who knew that Lin Qian actually rejected him in front of everyone, he suddenly felt very embarrassed, and his face was a little unnatural. However, he reacted quickly, adjusted his state in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll wait for you to finish dancing this song and then invite you." Lin Qian simply took my arm and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear, I promised him just now that I would only dance alone with him tonight." ”
Hearing Lin Qian say this, many people around who watched the excitement were stunned, they didn't know the relationship between the three of us, so no one would have thought that Lin Qian would reject Luo Jiajia so directly. In the eyes of many people, especially girls, it should be an honor to be invited by Luo Jiajia, and no one will refuse.
Luo Jiajia was suddenly embarrassed and stunned, at this time the music sounded, Li Xuan didn't know where to come out, ran to Luo Jiajia and said to him: "Luo Jiajia, why don't you show your face and dance with me." Of course, Luo Jiajia would not let go of this opportunity to make him go down the steps, so he smiled awkwardly at Lin Qian, took Li Xuan's hand and walked towards the center of the dance floor.
I saw that everyone next to me was discussing, and it probably meant that Lin Qian actually rejected Luo Jiajia in public, it was incredible, what is the relationship between Lin Qian and the boy next to her. Lin Qian never cared about other people's discussions, and said to me, "Let's go, let's continue to dance." I said, "Ah, you're still jumping." Lin Qian glared at her and said, "Nonsense, if you don't jump, I'll go to Luo Jiajia." I looked aggrieved and said, "Okay, I'll jump." ”
After another dance, I wiped the sweat from my head and said, "Why don't we go out and take a walk, I really can't dance this dance." Lin Qian smiled and said, "Okay, if you don't jump, you won't jump, and I won't be able to bear my feet if I jump again." I said, "If your feet hurt, I'll carry you out." Lin Qian said: "So many people, do you dare?" I looked around for a moment and said, "Forget it, I don't dare." Lin Qian laughed and scratched my nose with her hand and said, "I know you don't dare, let's go." "After that, I took my arm and walked outside the gymnasium, countless people watched us along the way, and my heart was full of pride and happiness, as if I had returned to the time when I walked the red carpet after graduating from high school.
