Chapter 33: Homecoming Dance (4)
An old brass bell struck twelve in the ballroom, as if to remind the unfinished teenagers and girls of the arrival of midnight.
DJ Andrew's excited but somewhat hoarse voice came out of the microphone: "Now, I announce the last show of the night - the Homecoming King and his dance partners will present the last dance ...... of the night."
Before he could finish his words, there was a round of applause in the hall.
William put on the golden ribbon again, solemnly picked up the delicate crown from the table and put it on his head, the crown's highest honor for this year's Homecoming. He took Yu You's hand with affection and walked proudly to the center of the dance floor.
All the noise fell silent, and under a bright chasing light, two long figures stood opposite each other in the circular glass dance floor, the girl held her chin slightly, and the boy was as resolute as a mountain, slightly bowing his head.
Elegant and soothing music played again, and the two danced lightly in the middle of the dance floor. The colorful laser lights stopped flickering, and there was only a moonlight chasing light on the dance floor, following the dance steps of William and Yu, two beautiful figures, one white and one blue, cast a long shadow under the light, so beautiful that they were like a pair of fairy couples.
Maybe it's the passionate tune that infects everyone, or maybe it's the dancing of the pair that is too wonderful, and the usually noisy classmates are silent, and everyone's eyes are focused on the center of the dance floor, and their eyes are full of appreciation and envy.
At the end of the dance, the two saluted the onlookers, and everyone responded with screams, applause and cheers as if they had just woken up from a dream.
William took the microphone from Andrew's hand and said affectionately: "Today happens to be my eighteenth birthday, I have spent four unforgettable and wonderful years in School A, please allow me to complete a junior coming-of-age ceremony here." β
Everyone quietly looked at the direction of the dance floor with bated breath, William turned to Yu You, stared at her for a long time, seemed to gather the courage in his heart, and only after a while did he speak: "In the last year of School A, I met you, and every day of my life was suddenly full of meaning. Today is my eighteenth birthday, and from today on, I am an adult, so every word I say to you now is no longer a confession of an ignorant teenager's whim, but a solemn promise. Cynthia, I want to know everything about you, I want to accompany you every day in the future, I want to hold your hand to the end of my life, so that I have no regrets in my life. I hope you will grant my request and be my girlfriend. This will be the most perfect gift I have received in my eighteen years of life. β
William's affectionate confession, like a drop of water dripping into a hot oil pot, once again detonated the atmosphere of the audience. There are many girls in the school who have had a crush on William for many years, some of them glared at Yu Yu angrily, and some sighed regretfully, Eva didn't care about so many people around her, hid her face and cried loudly, and Elizabeth had fainted in Rogers' arms......
There was a commotion, and as a supernumerary minions of the student council, Steven was the first to rush out of the ballroom to find Miss Ferson, the school doctor, while most of the students were still looking at the heroes and heroines on the dance floor with intent.
Bai Xinrui saw that the male god she admired the most actually confessed to Luo Yuyou, and there was a burning jealousy in those beautiful eyes, and there was a feeling of turning the river and the sea in her heart, surprised, suspicious, shocked, angry, and even hateful, she felt that the end was coming.
Today's eye-catching public confession scene, shouldn't it be taken for granted that Bai Xinrui is the only one who belongs to her? She is recognized by the school as the most beautiful, richest, most lively and cheerful, most versatile, and most distinctive girl.
At this moment, the strong, tall, and domineering Kevin was standing next to Bai Xinrui, and she still stubbornly believed in her heart that boys all over the world should like her. Although William hadn't noticed himself yet, sooner or later, her male god would come to her without hesitation.
After all, the majority of students who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement are in the majority, not to mention, there are still a large number of people who are friends with William or worship William.
At this time, many people began to heckle and shouted, "Say yes!" say yesοΌ β
DJ Andrew handed the other microphone to Yu You, and everyone gradually quieted down, waiting for her response.
Yu You said calmly, "William......" As soon as her words began, many boys had already begun to whistle and cheer, and they felt that the answer would be happy for the next.
It wasn't until the surroundings were a little quieter that Yu You's cold voice sounded again: "...... Tonight has been wonderful because of you, but, sorry, I can't respond to your feelings, we will always be friends. β
The crowd returned to their seats like a low tide, accompanied by countless sighs.
Leaving behind William standing in the middle of the dance floor and the crowd looking around, Yu Youjing walked out of the hall from the crowd, her eyes inadvertently met Bai Xinrui's resentful eyes, her face returned to her former arrogance and coldness, pushed open the heavy wooden door of the dance hall, and disappeared from people's sight without looking back......
