Chapter 39: Care
She is not something that outsiders can provoke casually, the professor can always do this because she is irrational in the face of the professor, and secondly because the professor knows her very well, and the place she steps on is full of minefields.
"Let me see if your dancing style has words that are so aggressive." Wang Xizhi put down his wine glass and said with a smirk.
"King?" Ji Qing asked.
"What else can he do? It's just a dance. The lady reassured her. The owner of the ball, even if he is not gentlemanly enough, will not do anything to make things difficult for the guests. ”
Reinhard smiled and said, "You're right. ”
He speaks Chinese.
When the lady talked about him that day, she found out that he would, so even if she had just chatted with Ji Qing in her native language, she didn't shy away from him, not to mention that sentence was not only said to Ji Qing, but also to him.
"Mlle, that's a beautiful pendant." His dancing steps were unhurried, and he really didn't mean to make things difficult, staring at the pendant on her chest.
The other party's scrutiny made her feel offended, and said lightly: "Someone else sent it." ”
"I guess so, you're not like the one who ordered Sephiroth ornaments, and watches." He chuckled.
Wang Xizhi was really about to explode in his lungs, but it was a very tasteless thing to be angry with him, so he had to perfunctory him with the attitude of "mmmmmmmm
"Is the evening dress also borrowed?" He said malicious things in a gentle tone.
"I think you ought to be pleased, sir." She is unhurried, unangry, and unaltering. "At least in the face of your invitation, the ugly duckling doesn't mind pretending to be a white swan."
The lady may not have his malice, but she can also be sharp.
"But she's not pretending to show you."
Reinhard laughed, laughed a few times, and whispered, "Is that Mr. Lanchester?" That's interesting, ma'am. You know that you are an ugly duckling, how can you match the noble swan? Look around him, look, Anna, Carla, Christel...... Which one is not a lady who is in and out of high society. ”
"You probably don't know any of the topics they're talking about, do you? Or how many of those nouns do you know? If it weren't for the fact that there was only one lady in the room, would that gentleman choose a fake swan that would sooner or later turn back into an ugly duckling? Look at his smile, the smile he has on those ladies, is it the same as he is for you? Such a gentlemanly man, maybe after knowing each other for a long time, what else would he give to Anna? What to give to Kara? What to give to Cristel? ”
"You're right." The lady smiled and said.
The woman seemed to look invulnerable, his fist striking the cotton, and the needles pierced the surface of the tea, making it difficult to make ripples.
In fact, the lady genuinely agreed with most of the he said.
When all goes well, her mistaken encounter with the old gentleman will come to an end.
The lady finished the dance, without a single mistake or flaw, and slowly walked back to the bar, picking up the glass of rum that had not yet melted the ice.
She finished the wine, ordered another glass, and said to Ji, "He's a scumbag." ”
"I can see it." Ji Qing said.
The lady picked up the glass and looked in the direction of the professor, who was not there, on the dance floor, and a lady in a red evening gown.
She drank quietly.
"Are you going to be boring?" The lady asked him.
"Of course." Ji Qing said. "I don't fit here, I don't fit in, and I don't want to fit in."
"I understand." The lady said, taking a sip without a sip, and quickly bottomed out.
She asked for another glass of wine, and when she was drinking, she looked around the dance floor, he was really a gentleman, and he smiled at everyone like that.
Ji saw her look in that direction for the third time and said, "The professor is very popular." ”
"That's how he used to be." Wang Xizhi said lightly. "I'm used to it."
"Really?" Ji Dou said bravely. "Maybe you used to see it, but now?"
Wang Xizhi was stunned for a moment, drank the wine, and said, "You will get used to it when you look at it." ”
Most of the things they discussed, not to mention their opinions, she had never even heard of their names, and their way of life was different from Wang's, and Wang could occasionally give the professor a valuable thank-you gift, but it was indeed "not cheap" for her, as the professor said.
And she doesn't pay attention to those.
"You ......" Ji Qing wanted to say something, but gave up, he didn't say much from that position, just said from the perspective of friends and colleagues who have shared many hardships: "Actually, it's not bad to see it." ”
"Do you understand?" Wang Xizhi smiled and asked with raised eyebrows. Then she took a sip of wine, she couldn't drink any more, but she needed unnatural movements to lower her anxiety, as if she was slowly insuming alcohol now. It's the same as looking around when you're nervous, and your eyes are wandering, and it's an unconscious compulsive action.
"I ...... Of course not, it's just ...... I have a little personal opinion. Ji Qing said with a red face, the lady was wearing a pure white off-the-shoulder evening dress with her black hair, and it looked good to smile like this, especially for a little boy.
"Do you know how to dance?" The lady asked, putting down her glass.
Ji Qing's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, he shook his head woodenly, and the professor glanced in the direction where the lady was sitting, Ji was on the side, she might not be so boring, but Ji was flushed, even on the other side, he could see it.
Lanchester frowned.
"I can teach you." Wang Xizhi said with a smile.
Ji's crampedness is that he can't dance, and he is worried about giving the impression of a "nerd" to the lady; The second is because such a question as the lady is likely to mean an invitation, and he will not. When the lady wanted to teach him, he was even more cramped.
"No, I don't have any ...... Interest. He said with a slur.
"Don't you even have an interest in learning?" The lady shook her head and picked up her glass, then took a sip.
Ji Qing lowered his head, he wanted to take the first step, at least don't even dare to learn, he finally nodded and said 'Okay', the lady put down the wine glass with a smile, and said, "Then while I haven't changed my mind, I'll teach you." ”
The lady pulled the little boy to the dance floor and took his hand, Ji was so stiff that he didn't even dare to really hold the lady's waist hard, she smiled and taught him his steps, he was very nervous, and stepped on the lady's foot several times.
"Take it easy, Kei." She said softly, Ji Qing took a deep breath, slowly calmed down in the dance steps, and finally no longer dared to look down at the footsteps of the two people, he raised his head, and the lady looked at him softly, very patient, and with encouragement in his eyes.
Ji Qing let out a sigh of relief, and finally dared to look at her, holding her waist, although he stumbled and made mistakes, he finally entered the state.
Until Ji stepped on her foot for the nth time, he didn't dare to continue with a red face, he fled back to the bar, and the lady also sat back, seeing that he was panting heavily, asked for a soda and handed it to him.
"Thank you." He quickly sipped the iced drink to ease the embarrassment and embarrassment, and the lady asked for a new cocktail, shook her head and smiled, "Did I force you?" ”
"No, I'm grateful that you're willing to teach me and so patient." He looked tired, but he was actually nervous, "This opportunity is something I will never forget, but I didn't study well enough." ”
"You can't expect to do it best the first time." The lady shook her head, Ji looked at her, her cheeks were a little rosy, I don't know if it was the dance steps that consumed her physical strength or she drank the wine on her face, Ji Qing persuaded: "You are the fifth cup, right?" Madame, don't drink it anymore and change the soda, right? ”
The old man on the dance floor was wearing a black suit, a red shirt and a blue-purple tie, and the lady in the red dress was swaying.
