She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.
Chapter 118 The Ball Ends
Jiang Lai had just finished dancing, and everyone's attention was still on her, so finding her wasn't difficult. After asking a few people and finding out Jiang Lai's approximate location, Sun Zhengyang and Shen Yi went to look for her. Sun Zhengyang's eyes were like searchlights, and he spotted Jiang Lai standing with several girls at a glance. He patted Shen Yi on the shoulder, "Master, the goddess is over there!"
Shen Yi followed the direction of his finger and saw Jiang Lai. Before the next dance began, he walked towards her, and Sun Zhengyang followed him.
"Goddess!!" Jiang Lai knew it was Sun Zhengyang as soon as she heard the title; only he would call her that.
She turned her head and saw him as expected. Helplessly, she said, "Senior, didn't we agree not to call me that?" It's so embarrassing!
Sun Zhengyang chuckled twice: "I forgot! My junior danced really well just now! We were taught by the same teacher, how come you're so awesome!"
Jiang Lai sighed, "Senior saw it too?"
"I saw it, but it was just a video. What a pity. My junior is really amazing. She truly deserves to be my goddess."
"video??"
"Yeah! Someone filmed a video of a junior dancing with someone else. Are you surprised? The photography department will film that too! Besides, the junior is a goddess-level figure."
Jiang Lai couldn't stand Sun Zhengyang's flattery any longer, so she turned to Shen Yi and asked, "Senior Shen, you actually participate in this kind of activity?"
Seeing her smiling with her eyes crinkled, Shen Yi swallowed and uttered a soft "Mmm".
Seeing that he didn't say much, Jiang Lai didn't mind: "Then I'll go first—"
Shen Yi stepped forward and blocked her way.
Jiang Lai looked at him, puzzled. "Senior Shen?"
Shen Yi looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Would you like to dance with me?"
"Does the senior like to dance?"
Shen Yi: "...Hmm."
001 suddenly popped up: "His affection for you goes up and down."
Jiang Lai could certainly see that Shen Yi had feelings for her.
She sighed and said to 001 in her heart, "What a tragedy!"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Yi felt a little uneasy. Just then, a new dance began, and he mustered up his courage and asked again, "Would you like to dance with me?"
Jiang Lai did not refuse: "Of course!"
Shen Yi revealed a relieved smile.
This was the first time Jiang Lai had seen him like this, and she smiled along with him.
When Jiang Lai put her hand on his shoulder, Shen Yi felt as if he wasn't his own body anymore. It was a feeling that made his soul tremble. He felt as if his heartbeat had been installed with a loudspeaker, revealing his feelings without any restraint.
As she drew near, that familiar scent enveloped him. He tried to stay awake, but to no avail. He could only succumb to the fragrance and to the way she was gazing at him.
This was the closest he had ever been to a woman, and also the closest she had ever been to him.
Shen Yi had never been so close to any girl before. He didn't like attending social events, and his daily life consisted mainly of attending classes and writing code. But because of her, he broke his habits. The fragrance was like an attraction; he couldn't escape it and didn't want to.
Shen Yi could feel that many people around him were looking at him. He didn't like being the center of attention, but now that he was with her, he felt that it didn't matter if everyone saw him.
Jiang Lai's hand was in Shen Yi's palm, their hands clasped together, and Jiang Lai could clearly feel the tension in the person opposite her.
"Senior Shen, relax a bit." Is she some kind of monster? Why do all the guys act like this when they dance with her?
Shen Yi looked at her and responded softly, "Mm."
He responded to her completely subconsciously. He had never imagined that shaking hands with a girl would feel like this. Her hand was much smaller than his own, soft and boneless, as if a slight exertion would hurt her.
Shen Yi didn't dare to use force, but just gently held her hand, feeling a little nervous, and even his breathing became rapid.
He tried to calm his breathing, not wanting her to see his embarrassment.
Shen Yi looked at Jiang Lai. The girl in front of him was wearing a pink gradient dress that outlined her perfect and moving curves. Her neck was elegant and beautiful, and her exposed skin was snow-white and flawless. The hem of the dress drew a perfect arc when she twirled.
As the music played, the distance between the two people shifted, and their bodies inevitably touched each other almost imperceptibly.
Shen Yi's face, ears, and neck were all red. He thought for a moment and started a conversation: "Is your junior still doing voice acting?"
"Huh?" Jiang Lai didn't expect him to ask this. After thinking for a while, she said, "I haven't had any recently because I've been busy with the school anniversary celebration!"
Shen Yi's voice was much calmer than before: "The game that my junior voiced before still has a lot of users and the revenue is quite good. I heard that they are planning to release new characters. If my junior wants to do voice acting for games again, she can give it a try."
"Okay!"
The two were talking quietly, and around them, there were many others like them, embracing each other, dancing and talking in hushed tones.
Ambiguity is growing.
However, Shen Yi and Jiang Lai only talked about work-related matters, and the atmosphere between them was much more innocent than that of others.
Jiang Lai was wondering what she should do if Shen Yi suddenly confessed to her, but she didn't expect him to have no such thought at all.
Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Yi did not. He felt that no matter what he said to Jiang Lai, he could not concentrate. His mind would always wander to other things, such as her hands, her pert nose, her two bare arms, and the gentle breath she breathed when she was close to him.
Their bodies would occasionally touch due to the movements of the dance, and with each closeness, Shen Yi could smell her faint fragrance.
What was even more stimulating than the fragrance was her warm, close-fitting body.
The difference between the male and female bodies is so obvious that he can feel the other's softness with every embrace.
Shen Yi felt he shouldn't have acted this way; even thinking for a second longer would be disrespectful to her.
But he also desperately wanted to embrace her, to get to know her, and didn't want to let go.
The dance music had reached a climax.
Jiang Lai moved to the music, her arms around Shen Yi's neck, and looked up at him, saying, "Senior, put your hands on my waist. Don't be nervous, it'll be over soon."
Hearing her say that, Shen Yi realized that he should change his movements.
Shen Yi was also taller than Jiang Lai. She wrapped her arms around him, hooked his head down, and the two looked at each other in the dim light.
At this moment, Shen Yi felt as if everyone around him had disappeared, leaving only him and her.
When their eyes met, Shen Yi felt as if there were countless stars in her eyes, mysterious and beautiful, and he couldn't help but be captivated by them.
The atmosphere between the two of them was truly extraordinary, and many people around them were drawn to them.
"Damn! You have to watch real couples date, so why do you have to watch real couples dance too?"
"Isn't that a computer genius?" "Isn't the other one our minister???"
Are they a couple? No, right?
"If we weren't having any romantic feelings or we weren't actually together, I'd do a handstand while washing my hair!"
"Damn! What a perfect match! A super match, a match made in heaven!"
"Take a picture! Take a picture!"
Qin Yifan also saw the two dancing, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. She thought it was great when Jiang Lai danced with her brother, and she thought it was great when Jiang Lai danced with another male college student.
Is this what they call having a "go-with-all" physique? Looking good with everyone?
"Brother! Don't you think she's gorgeous?" Qin Yifan shook her brother's hand. "She dances so beautifully!"
Qin Yijian had wanted to leave earlier, but his younger sister saw Jiang Lai dancing and insisted on watching until the end. He had no choice but to stay. He couldn't just leave his sister behind, could he?
And so, he stood not far from Jiang Lai and watched her dance the entire way with another boy.
For some reason, he found the two people dancing a bit of an eyesore.
What kind of dancing is that! It's not pretty at all!
As Qin Yijian watched, she made comparisons. When she danced with her, she didn't have so many small movements and mistakes. Her dancing with her was much smoother! The two of them had perfect chemistry!
Ha! Why are they hugging each other here? It's completely unnecessary! Isn't this just taking advantage?
This woman clearly came for me, so why is she flirting with other men?
She really is a restless person!
I only gave her a couple of warnings and said a few words, and she's already targeting other people?
How can you accomplish anything great if you give up halfway through things like this?!
Qin Yifan watched her brother's expression change and cautiously asked, "Brother? What's wrong?"
Qin Yijian was interrupted by her younger sister. Coming back to her senses, she said, "It's nothing."
Qin Yifan: "Nothing? You've been staring at my sister for ages! It was the same at the club last time, you were staring at her too, do you have a crush on her?"
You're interested in her? What a joke!
Qin instinctively refuted this point using the simplified and traditional Chinese characters, but instead calmed down.
No, he could never be interested in her. Although she is young, beautiful, charming, sexy, and bold, she is scheming and he doesn't like women with such a mind of their own!
Being physically attracted to her is a man's instinct. Not to mention men, even women like beautiful things. It's normal for him to be attracted to her because she's pretty. But psychologically, he wasn't interested in her.
He was only interested in her because she was pretty and smart; to say he liked her or had his eye on her? That was absolutely impossible!
Ye Kongxing watched the whole thing from the side. He touched his nose, and thought, "Hmm—Old Fu's in trouble!"
Qin Yijian said to Ye Kongxing, "I'm leaving now. Where's Young Master Ye?"
Ye Kongxing: "I should be leaving soon too."
The two nodded to each other, and Qin Yijian turned to look at her younger sister, "Let's go."
Qin Yifan: "I want to play a little longer!"
Qin Yijian asked, "What about your living expenses next month?"
"Let's go, let's go, I'm sleepy, let's go home!" Qin Yifan said obsequiously, taking her brother's arm and turning to Ye Kongxing, "Brother Ye, let's go! See you later!"
Ye Kongxing smiled happily: "See you later!"
Qin Yifan texted Jiang Lai from the car, saying that she had already gone back and was a little unhappy: "At least let me watch her dance!"
-
Meanwhile, Jiang Lai and Shen Yi finally finished their dance and separated.
"Senior Shen danced quite well," Jiang Lai said.
Shen Yi knew his own body, and when he heard her say that, his face turned red: "I'm sorry, I think I stepped on you."
"It's nothing!" Jiang Lai waved her hand dismissively.
Sun Zhengyang ran over and exclaimed, "Master, junior, you guys danced really well!"
He shook his phone: "I recorded a video, junior, do you want it?"
Jiang Lai nodded: "Sure! Let's see how well my senior took the picture of me."
"My junior is naturally beautiful; I can't capture even a fraction of her beauty in a photograph!"
"No need to laugh so hard." Jiang Lai was amused by Sun Zhengyang.
Shen Yi pursed his lips as he watched the two chatting and laughing.
Jiang Lai didn't notice this, and instead said to the two of them, "Senior? I'll go find my roommate first. I'm a little hungry, so I won't dance anymore. Have fun, you guys?"
"Do you want us to come with you?"
"Ah, no need! The seniors can play by themselves, don't worry about me."
Hearing her say that, Sun Zhengyang didn't say anything more and watched Jiang Lai leave with Shen Yi.
Sun Zhengyang sighed, "Alas, your love journey is long, my sir!"
Shen Yi: "Send me a copy of the video as well. I need both videos."
Sun Zhengyang: "You pervert!"
Shen Yi glanced at him, and Sun Zhengyang immediately backed down: "I'll send it right away!"
-
Jiang Lai said goodbye to Shen Yi and Sun Zhengyang and went to find her roommate. Along the way, she rejected several boys who wanted to invite her to continue dancing and went straight to the buffet area.
Ye Kongxing saw her and walked over, "Sister Jiang!"
Jiang Lai found it a bit strange. The Qin siblings had all left, so why hadn't Ye Kongxing left yet? She said, "Brother Ye, why haven't you left yet? I see that many people from outside the school have already left."
Ye Kongxing: "I've been drinking. I'm waiting for someone to pick me up. I also have something to discuss with you."
"what?"
Have you been neglecting your live streams lately?
That's true. One reason is that she's been busy lately, and the other is that 001 hasn't been pushing her to collect favorability points much, so she's become a bit lax.
Seeing that she seemed a little guilty, Ye Kongxing said, "I'm not blaming you. Although I know you won't treat live streaming as your career, don't give up completely. After all, we still have a contract. The learning zone model is still being explored, and we still need the streamers to be more active. Once the shortcomings of each channel are adjusted, you can bring up any other ideas you have."
To be honest, the conditions Ye Kongxing offered were quite good, and they were also very beneficial to Jiang Lai.
One should never forget one's roots. After reflecting on her actions, Jiang Lai assured him, "I understand. I'll pick up the live stream again when I'm less busy."
"That's good." Ye Kongxing checked his phone. "Now that they're here, I'll be leaving?"
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Ye!"
Jiang Lai watched him leave, then turned to find her roommate. The dance party didn't end until 11 p.m.
