Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Show Begins
"I was just wondering if you would come over today. Bai Lexue said to Qu Fan, and then greeted Bai Qingqing, "Hello aunt".
Bai Qingqing picked up the wine glass and said to her, "Xiaoxue, you are here, help me take care of Xiaofan, I will meet a few people." After finishing speaking, Bai Qingqing left, leaving Qu Fan and Bai Lexue here.
Qu Fan spoke first and said, "Today is your birthday, and I didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift for you, but don't worry, I will make it up for you next time I see you." ”
"You've grown so much taller. Bai Lexue didn't care about the gift at all, and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and I feel that you have grown ten centimeters." ”
Qu Fan smiled, it is true, this is true of this, this half a year of training has made Qu Fan's height jump from 1.75 meters to 1.88 meters, a full length of thirteen centimeters.
Bai Lexue looked at Qu Fan and just smiled, didn't speak, and after a while, she asked, "Can you accompany me to the first dance when the dance starts?"
Qu Fan heard Bai Lexue's words, was silent for a while, and after a few seconds, said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, I can't dance." ”
As soon as Qu Fan finished speaking, Su Xuan walked over with several rich sons.
"Xiaoxue, happy birthday, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here. Su Xuan glanced at Qu Fan, "This is a birthday gift for you, take a look, do you like it?"
Bai Lexue took the gift, thanked Su Xuan, and then handed the gift to the waiter behind him, "Help me put it in the room, thank you." After finishing speaking, he introduced the five of them to Qu Fan.
"This is Young Master Su Xuan of the Su Group, this is Young Master Lin Anchen of Huamei Entertainment, this is Young Master Jiang Yeming of Chenghua Communications, this is Young Master Ye Ling of Adam Fund, and this is Young Master Yin Lang of Boan Investment, known as the Five Young Masters of the Southwest. ”
Qu Fan wanted to say hello to them, but seeing that most of them were arrogant and ignoring him, he only nodded and smiled, and took a sip of wine alone.
"Xiaoxue hasn't introduced us to who this person is. Lin Anchen reminded.
After Bai Lexue took a sip of wine with Qu Fan, she said, "This is my aunt Bai Qingqing's younger brother, Qu Fan." ”
After finishing speaking, Su Xuan on the opposite side carefully observed the person in front of him, and he did look very similar to the kid on the day of the banquet, but he was much taller.
When these people saw Bai Qingqing, they had to call Aunt Qingqing, this Qu Fan was her younger brother, and they had to call him uncle according to their generation. However, when they saw Bai Lexue calling Qu Fan's name, they also called him Qu Fan.
Lin Anchen and Qu Fan touched the wine and asked, "Is Mr. Qu Fan interested in joining the entertainment industry, our Huamei Entertainment will definitely be able to put you on the front line." ”
Qu Fan smiled, "It's better to be an ordinary person than to be a star, thank you Young Master Lin for your kindness." ”
The other three people also gave him a few simple greetings.
Su Xuan remembered the slap last time, directly ignored Qu Fan, and said to Bai Lexue, "Xiaoxue, can I ask you to dance the first dance later?"
Bai Lexue rejected him, "Young Master Qu Fan has invited me, and I have already agreed to him, Young Master Su should find someone else, there are quite a few celebrities here today." As he spoke, he looked at Qu Fan.
Qu Fan knew Bai Lexue's hint and said to Su Xuan, "I'm really sorry for robbing Young Master Su first." After finishing speaking, he was taken elsewhere by Bai Lexue.
The other four people laughed at Su Xuan, Su Xuan drank the remaining half of the champagne in the glass in one go, and said angrily, "Wait for me, I definitely want him to look good." ”
Qu Fan followed Bai Lexue to a lounge, and after entering, Bai Lexue locked the door.
Bai Lexue said, "The dance will start at half past seven, it's seven o'clock now, there is still half an hour left, I will teach you some simple ballroom dance steps, and there should be no problem with the first dance by then." ”
Bai Lexue's first dance was cowboys, she didn't like slow and elegant dance steps, and preferred light and free cowboy dance.
There are only a few basic movements of cowboy dancing, as long as you master these basic movements and repeat them.
Bai Lexue put her hand on Qu Fan's right hand and left shoulder, waiting for Qu Fan to put his other hand on his waist, seeing that Qu Fan didn't move for a long time, he opened his mouth and reminded, "Put your hand on my waist." ”
Seeing that Qu Fan was a little embarrassed, Bai Lexue directly picked up his hand and put it away, saying, "If you don't want me to make a fool of myself for a while, study hard." ”
Qu Fan replied "um" and began to listen carefully to Bai Lexue's footwork and techniques of cowboy dance.
Qu Fan's movements are flexible enough, and he is fast enough to draw inferences, the simple movements of this cowboy dance have been learned, Bai Lexue and Qu Fan put together the tune, and there was basically no problem, so they took him to the ball hall.
The time has reached half past seven, everyone has arrived, except for Bai Qingqing, all the young descendants of the major families and celebrities in Yudu are present today, and the whole dance party exudes the fragrance of mixed male and female, and men and women are tired of being together.
Bai Qingqing, as the only elder present today, naturally has to play a leading role. She took Bai Lexue and Qu Fan to the stage and addressed everyone, "Today is the eighteenth birthday ceremony of my niece Bai Lexue, thank you for coming, my Bai family will extend a warm welcome and thanks." ”
Then Bai Lexue stepped forward, held a glass of wine, said a few polite words, and drank it all.
"Today, there is another thing to announce to everyone," Bai Qingqing said and invited Qu Fan forward, "This is my Bai Qingqing's younger brother, Qu Fan. ”
Qu Fan looked around for a week, and for the first time he stood on the stage, he was not stage frightened at all. Even people who have experienced tigers and crocodiles, what else is there to be afraid of, just have a group of pigs sitting in the audience.
Qu Fan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and signaled to everyone.
Some of the young and glamorous celebrities at the bottom couldn't bear it anymore, "I just said that he can't be Bai Qingqing's good looks." "There's Bai Lexue next to them, can you compare?" "Maybe he likes me like this." "I heard that he was going to dance his first dance with Bai Lexue in a while. "Are you going to throw yourself into your arms?" ......
The five young men in the southwest stood quietly behind and looked at the three people on the stage, only one of them glared at Qu Fan.
Then, the dance began, Qu Fan glanced at Bai Qingqing, Bai Qingqing smiled, and said, "Go quickly, don't let the girl wait for you." ”
Qu Fan thought that Bai Qingqing didn't know, and it turned out that there was nothing to hide from his sister. Qu Fan walked up to Bai Lexue, bent down and stretched out his right hand, "Beautiful Miss Xiaoxue, can I ask you to dance the first dance?"
Bai Lexue elegantly put her hand in Qu Fan's hand and followed Qu Fan to the center of the dance floor. With the cheerful music sounding, Qu Fan took Bai Lexue to dance an enthusiastic cowboy dance.
A third of the way through, others joined in.
Bai Qingqing took a glass of wine, sat on the chair next to the dance floor, looked at Qu Fan and Bai Lexue in the center of the dance floor, and said in her heart, "Why is Xiao Fan so slow in terms of feelings. ”
A person came over and said something in Bai Qingqing's ear, "No need, Xiaofan can handle it himself." Then Bai Qingqing went directly to the suite on the top floor.
After a song, Qu Fan and Bai Lexue cooperated quite perfectly, although it was only the simplest movements, but with the cooperation of the two, it can be called a classic. The whole dance party burst into applause.
Qu Fan led Bai Lexue out of the dance floor, picked up a glass of wine and sat at a small table. Qu Fan looked around, but didn't find Bai Qingqing.
"Auntie went upstairs just now," Bai Lexue said, "You can stay a little longer, help me block some people I don't want to see." ”
Qu Fan turned his head and saw Su Xuan, "Young Master Su Xuan may hate me to death." ”
Bai Lexue snorted and said, "Don't you want me to help you block those boring peach blossoms?" Bai Lexue said and squinted at a few girls not far from Qu Fan.
"Then let's help each other. Qu Fan picked up the wine glass and touched it with Bai Lexue and said.
"It was a pleasure to work with. "It's a pleasure to work with. ”
Soon, the second dance was over, and most of the people were off the dance floor, and only a few were still dancing.
"After the third song and the cake, I'm ready to go. Bai Lexue said lazily.
"How can the protagonist go first?, you are gone, what will happen to this ball?" Qu Fan said to her.
"This kind of gathering is nothing more than socializing with each other and consolidating each other's friendship between big families, I would have been lazy to participate, if it wasn't for my father's insistence, I would have been in Australia now. Bai Lexue looked at Qu Fan and said.
Qu Fan suddenly laughed and said, "I'll make a bet with you, something will definitely happen in a while." ”
"Okay, what are you betting on?" Bai Lexue suddenly became interested when she heard Qu Fan say this.
Qu Fan thought for a while, and said with a smile, "A barbecue, I'm not used to eating snacks today." ”
"I've sent you away so easily, well, no problem, then if nothing happens for a while, you'll answer me a question. Bai Lexue said happily.
"Okay, that's a deal. "Qu Fan thought in his heart that you were doomed.
Bai Lexue is very calm, today is the Bai family's ball, if someone dares to be presumptuous today, then he will definitely be too long.
Besides, Bai Qingqing is still in the hotel, and there is nothing to hide from her aunt, if someone really wants to do something, Bai Qingqing will never sit idly by.
Qu Fan looked at Bai Lexue, drank wine, and waited quietly for the show to come on.
The third song was about to end, and Bai Lexue and Qu Fan entered the dance floor again, ready to do the final touches.
Two waiters pushed a cake cart towards the center of the dance floor, a seven-tiered cake in the shape of a princess, the princess was covered with chocolate, and the princess's dress consisted of a white cream cake surrounded by seven layers of rose petals.
"Alas, it's a pity. Qu Fan sighed quietly.
Bai Lexue looked at Qu Fan and asked, "What's the pity?"
Qu Fan didn't speak, just laughed silently. At this time, a person slowly walked to Qu Fan and Bai Lexue, and Qu Fan knew that the show was about to begin.
