Chapter 836: Chapter 6: Competing
As Yiyi mechanically stretched out her hand, Zhou Ziang followed suit, bowing extremely gentlemanly, and softly asked, "May I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady to dance?"
The silky smooth waltz melody ushered in the welcome ceremony.
Whether it was the brand new foreign experience or the overly gentle eyes across from her, Xiao Xian felt as if she was immersed in warm water in winter, her whole body was warm, her hand was held in his, taking unfamiliar and completely unknown dance steps, elegantly dancing in the grand hall.
"I can’t dance," Xiao Xian slowly reacted after entering the dance floor.
"I’ll tell you a secret, I can’t either," two people who couldn’t dance, yet entered the dance floor so early?
"You’re joking, haven’t you been studying at Cornell University all these years, participated in such occasions even once?" Xiao Xian had already noticed that most of the exchange students from the East were awkward in their movements, appearing somewhat clumsy. Wang Shuai couldn’t escape this, his dance steps were more like marching. Western exchange students, however, were much more skillful, knowing several different dance steps.
It’s just one dance, yet it revealed different cultural backgrounds and the differences between East and West.
"I’m a typical homebody, during my studies, I mostly stayed around the teaching building, research lab, and library. Such dance parties, I’ve only attended them ceremonially at the welcome party and graduation ceremonies, mostly just watching," Zhou Ziang showed a bit of embarrassment.
To Xiao Xian, these few hints of awkwardness were a brand new understanding. Is there something Zhou Ziang doesn’t know?
She had known Zhou Ziang for several years, although they were apart at times, they had never officially been together. But each reunion, Xiao Xian’s understanding of him grew a little, and those little new insights pieced together a complete picture of Zhou Ziang.
They first met in Guizhou, just strangers who passed by on the street, the only connection was the corn stall set up on the street. He saw a thief and intervened to help. He was a person with a sense of justice, that was Xiao Xian’s initial impression of him.
Still in Guizhou, at the hospital, he and his parents left a very important hospitalization fee and ginseng for the Zhu Family grandfather and grandson at the time. He was a generous person.
They met for the second time at the "Knei Cup" basketball game, that time they were opponents, and when her spiritual power was out of control, he caught her with his body.
How many times has it been, Xiao Xian almost couldn’t remember, those images of Zhou Ziang saving her overlapped, but it couldn’t compare to the vivid and embarrassed big boy in front of her admitting that he doesn’t know how to dance.
The earlier displeasure brought by Aisha slowly settled down, Xiao Xian glanced at Aisha and her dance partner who occasionally passed by them.
Aisha was a smart person, though Zhou Ziang slipped away, she quickly adjusted her emotions, coaxing that Australian male student with great proficiency, and she unexpectedly found that this seemingly ordinary Australian male student was actually a typical party guy, proficient in various dances.
Entering the dance floor with him, both put in all their effort, quickly becoming the focus of the room.
"We can’t lose too much face, let’s stand up for our people," Xiao Xian unexpectedly wrapped her hands around Zhou Ziang’s neck, whispering something softly by his ear.
That gentle voice like a singing oriole seemed like a feather, causing Zhou Ziang’s ear to itch, the peculiar feeling spreading from the ear to his heart.
The pink little dress turned into a circle on the dance floor, Zhou Ziang understood, his feet coordinating with Xiao Xian, their dance steps weren’t really dance steps, but extremely light. The pink was a butterfly, the silver-gray was the breeze chasing the butterfly.
Melodious laughter, hearty male voices, brushed past everyone’s ears.
Xiao Xian’s feet followed the steps of the Cloud Ascension Technique, a set of steps every disciple entering the Yunteng Sect must be thoroughly familiar with.
The Cloud Ascension Technique’s steps, when used by a woman, are like a fluttering butterfly; when used by a man, as surprising as a wandering swan; when used together by both, Xiao Xian wasn’t worried that Zhou Ziang couldn’t keep up, she believed that with Zhou Ziang’s intelligence, he would surely understand her meaning.
