Only one step away

Standing in the dance classroom, Li Yuan felt a little at a loss.

It was the first time for him to come to this place. If he hadn't attended a dance held by a young lady because of business, he thought he would never have come here.

He has always thought that dancing is something that only women like. He is a serious man, so he naturally disdains such things.

However, now, socializing has changed this idea that has been ingrained since childhood...

It's really frustrating...

Thinking about it, Li Yuan impatiently took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and lit it, took a deep breath, and then let it out in a long breath.He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He had been here for almost an hour, and four or ten minutes had passed since the appointed time, but a few days ago, the teacher who had made an appointment to teach him dance steps still didn't come.

"This Miss Xiao really has no sense of time..." He said, putting the cigarette to his mouth and taking a deep puff.

He never liked dealing with women very much.

Of course this doesn't mean he likes men, in general, he just doesn't like dealing with people who are not punctual, both men and women.

So, for the above reasons, he is in his thirties and has not yet found a wife, because every girlfriend will have a big fight with him on the issue of time, and then the final ending is "bye bye". .

Remembering something bad...

He took one last puff, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it out with his foot, took out another cigarette, lit it, smoked it, and exhaled the smoke ring.

Very good, although he doesn't like to wait for others, but he really likes the feeling of smoking.

With a "crash", the door was opened, and a man who was half a head shorter than him walked in. He looked very young, with short black hair trimmed beautifully, and his head was slightly lowered, revealing a beautiful fair neck, four limbs He was slender, wearing black clothes and trousers, which made his body look a little thinner.

Li Yuan was a little puzzled, because this person didn't say a word when he came in, he just walked straight in front of him, then lowered his head and stared at his feet.

He also lowered his head and looked down, and found that his feet were full of shaken ashes, as well as cigarette butts that he had crushed into a flat shape. These things formed the floor with the clean floor Great contrast.

"Smoking is not allowed in the dance classroom." The man said, raised his head abruptly, reached out his hand unceremoniously and tore off the half of the cigarette that Li Yuan was dangling from his mouth, and then used his slender fingers to extinguish the trash thrown aside cylinder.

Li Yuan watched him dumbfounded as he completed the above actions.

After finishing all this, the man turned around and pointed at him, and shouted: "You! Now! Get a mop and a broom immediately, and clean this place up!!!"

Only then did Li Yuan come to his senses, and he retorted: "It's true that it's wrong for me to smoke, I just apologize, but why do I have to clean!?"

The man raised his eyebrows, raised his chin to look at him, and answered him in a very contemptuous tone: "Apologies are not convincing. Compared with empty words, actual actions can explain your apology better!"

Looking at his expression and listening to his tone of voice, Li Yuan only felt his temples tighten. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked, "Who are you!"

"Me?" The man laughed, "The boss of this dance training class! I'll be back in 10 minutes, I don't want to see this place remain the same!" After speaking, he slammed the door hard and walked out.

The owner of the dance class! ?

Li Yuan froze for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

He did know that the boss of this dance training class was a young man, but he didn't know that his temper was so weird.

He lowered his head and glanced at his "masterpiece" on the ground. That kid was not very flattering, but speaking of it, he was indeed not good...

After spitting, he took off his coat and hung it behind the door, then searched around and left the classroom, found a broom and mop, and carefully cleaned up the ash and cigarette butts.

Looking at the clean floor, he was a little proud, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: I am a good person, so I did it, not because I was afraid of you, a kid.

After making sure for the last time that there were no traces of soot on the ground, he put away the bag of the trash can and carried it out of the classroom. He didn't want to go back to this place and see that kid with a clean freak.However, when he threw away the garbage bag and was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to take his coat.

After secretly scolding himself "idiot", he turned angrily and entered the elevator.

The elevator was going up at a constant speed. He looked at the beating numbers on the floor and felt that it had been a long time. He finally reached the floor he was going to. The moment the elevator door opened, he rushed out with one stride, and at the fastest speed He rushed to the classroom at a fast speed, he didn't want to meet that kid with a clean freak again.

The lights in the dance studio were on and the door was closed, but from a distance, Li Yuan could still clearly hear the music with a very strong sense of rhythm flowing from it.

He secretly yelled that he was not good. These messages showed the fact that there was someone inside, maybe it was that clean freak.But when he thought that the coat was his favorite, he immediately quickened his pace without hesitation, and comforted himself: Maybe, maybe, it's not that kid?

When he reached the door, he stopped and threw his glass over the door to look in.In fact, everything did not go as he wished. There was a person dancing inside. This person was the man who ordered him to clean up just now. At this moment, he was dancing very rhythmically and vigorously to the beat of the music.

He raised his hands to the top of his head and patted vigorously, his body bent slightly, and his feet kept stepping on the floor very vigorously, keeping pace with the beat and constantly adjusting the speed of his feet. The movements of his body and hands were very There was tension and appeal. After repeating this, Li Yuan watched him turn around vigorously, and stopped abruptly.

The other party's shout brought Li Yuan back to his senses. He laughed at himself. He knew what this dance was, it was Flamenco. What he didn't expect was that many years later, he would Still will be fascinated by this dance.

What a ridiculous habit...

The music stopped at some point, and the man dancing inside walked towards the door, opened the door, looked at him and said, "It turns out that besides smoking and throwing cigarette butts, you also have peeping eyes." Habit."

"I came back to pick up my clothes." Li Yuan ignored his mocking tone and pointed to the black coat hanging inside.

The man glanced back, smiled, turned around and took the clothes and handed them to him.

After Li Yuan thanked him, he turned to leave, but the man stopped him behind him.

Li Yuan turned to look at him, wondering what he wanted to do.

"If you don't mind, have a cup of coffee before leaving."

The man said, showing a very bright smile.Li Yuan wanted to refuse but couldn't. By the time he realized it, he was already sitting in the dance classroom watching this strange man and his skillful movements brewing coffee, and breaking the off-white powder in the cup with hot water. At that time, a strong, sweet smell unique to coffee instantly filled the whole room.

The man smiled and handed him the cup: "Sorry, only instant ones."

Li Yuan took the cup and sniffed it. It smelled very warm, although he didn't know how to drink coffee.

"You looked very serious at the dance just now. Are you here to learn the dance?" The man sat on the table, holding the cup in his hand, but he did not forget to point his index finger at him to speak.

Li Yuan frowned. He didn't like being pointed at. He put down his glass and stood up: "I'm sorry for what happened before. But I think it's time for me to leave."

The man didn't keep him, just smiled faintly, and looked out of the window, Li Yuan followed his gaze and looked over, it didn't know when it started to rain outside the window.

"I came by car, it's okay if it's raining." Li Yuan said as he looked away.

His words made the man smile even brighter: "But I didn't."

After understanding the meaning in his words, Li Yuan's face turned dark immediately, he didn't know how to refute his words.Basically, he is not very good at the other party suddenly stating his purpose so bluntly.

"Continue with the topic just now. Are you here to learn dancing? I remember seeing you here a few times, and the one who danced with you should be Miss Xiao."

His words made Li Yuan a little surprised.In fact, he has only been in this dance class for four days, and the practice time for each time is only two hours. However, he did not expect that this man would have an impression of him.

Seeing him talking, the man took a sip of coffee and continued: "Miss Xiao seems to be going to meet her boyfriend's parents today, so she asked for leave and left early, didn't she tell you?"

Going to meet my boyfriend's family! ?Li Yuan's complexion became even worse.

The strange expression on Li Yuan's face made the man smile even more happily: "It seems that she forgot to call you to tell you, but she has this problem."

It's a shame...he waited like an idiot for an hour alone...

And I still came here half an hour early to wait for that woman...

The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more he felt ashamed. He stood up abruptly and wanted to leave, but his hand was held by the man in front of him.

When touching the opponent's hand, Li Yuan felt a little dazed.

It was a very special feeling. This man's fingers were very long, not like ordinary men's, with protruding joints. On the contrary, his fingers were long and soft, as if they had brought a new life, conveying a strange emotion. , passed through the slightly warm fingertips...

"Your course should only be for one week. If you just leave like this, I'm sorry for the tuition fee?" Sensing his strange expression, the man let go of his hand, "If you don't mind, I can teach you. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Sunan."

"Li Yuan." Li Yuan said his name politely.

Sunan moved his fingers and said, "Mr. Li, you should report Tango, right?"

"Ah, yes." Li Yuan answered his question, but wondered why he didn't reject his proposal.

"Well, I'll take the role of a woman, and I'll take you." Sunan said, walked to the side of the CD player, picked out a record and put it in, pressed the play button, and a slow second song played stand up.

Li Yuan listened to the music for a while, and said a little puzzled, "Don't Tango all use dance music with a faster tempo?"

"Most of the songs used in competitions have a faster rhythm, but for beginners like you, 1234 is better." Sunan said as he walked over to him, put his hand on his waist, and put it on himself He touched his shoulder, and the other hand took his.

Li Yuan let him manipulate him in a daze, still struggling with the question of why he didn't reject him.

"Miss Xiao should have taught you the simplest dance steps, right?" Sunan raised his head and looked into his eyes and asked.

Li Yuan glanced at him, then turned his eyes away: "As I said, turn left in an open way, and then slide out like walking on a freshly paved asphalt road."

What he said made Sunan suddenly raise his head and burst into laughter, which made him almost out of breath. After a while, he rested his head weakly on Li Yuan's shoulder, and said, "This Miss Xiao is really interesting. But, just follow what she said, start, and slide out like walking on a freshly paved asphalt road. "

Before Li Yuan could react to his words, he felt his feet turn suddenly. Under the leadership of Sunan, he felt as if that foot was not his own, and it would slide over automatically along the dance steps.Sunan's expression became very special from the moment the two of them started dancing. In Li Yuan's view, it should be a state of extreme devotion.

He watched Sunan squinting his dark eyes and looking at him, then breathed heavily close to his ear, and the hand on his shoulder...

"pain……"

Su Nan's exclamation suddenly came from next to his ear, causing Li Yuan to tremble suddenly, and let him go quickly.

Sunan stood on one leg with the foot he stepped on huddled, Li Yuan saw the muscles on his face twitching, and hurriedly apologized.

"Let me tell you, when you are dancing, you should pay more attention. I am just a person who teaches you how to dance. At the dance, you are a man. If you step on your partner, it is very rude!!! "Su Nan said, knelt down and rubbed his feet. He didn't expect this man to be so big. If he accidentally stepped on it, it hurt so much that his tears almost fell out.

He said that, Li Yuan felt a little ashamed.In fact, he didn't know how to dance in the first place. In order to avoid the situation that Sunan said, he chose to participate in the dance training class.

Sunan looked at him with his hips on his hips, frowned, and after a while, he said, "Come on. Go on. Today's two hours is still early."

So, the two hugged each other again.Li Yuan hugged his waist, suddenly remembered the sound of Sunan's snorting in his ear before, couldn't help but stiffen his body, and slightly pushed his body away.

Sunan curled his lips and said: "Don't act like you are going to the execution ground, your waist, give me a little softness!" As he spoke, he slid the hand on Li Yuan's shoulder to his waist, and then patted him waist.

His actions did not make Li Yuan relax, but made him more nervous.Su Nan suddenly understood something, so he started laughing again, his dark eyes were shining like stars: "I said, Mr. Li, don't think too much, okay? I really want a woman to be your dance partner , but I have no choice right now. Besides, Tango is a flirting dance, and I can't do anything about it. Some movements and expressions are all dance needs."

Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed when the other party talked about the central matter.But after Sunan said this, he felt a little more balanced in his heart, because he felt that he could regard the certain charming expression that Sunan had when dancing as an "occupational disease".

After he affirmed this again in his heart, he continued to dance with Sunan.This time he was free and danced easily, while Sunan was teaching in pain and depression.

Before the two-hour practice time was over, Sunan raised his hand and surrendered, because he didn't want to be unable to come here to teach students the next day because of his swollen feet.

Li Yuan apologized, while Sunan spread his hands to express his helplessness.Today he understood thoroughly why Miss Xiao was always complaining to himself, asking to change her student, and being trampled on by men all the time, what kind of a thing was that?The key is why such a man with no sense of rhythm would choose such a dance that requires rhythm and coordination! ?

Seeing the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Li Yuan suggested that he send Sunan home as an apology for stepping on the other party's feet N times today.For such a proposal, Sunan reluctantly agreed. In fact, he really wanted to take the opportunity to rip him off and let this man invite him to dinner, but unfortunately, his stomach was not feeling well in the past few days, and he couldn't eat anything. awkward.So after the two reached such a consensus, Li Yuan helped Sunan close the classroom door and sent him to the garage downstairs.

Su Nan stood in front of Li Yuan's car and whistled in admiration. Li Yuan glanced at him, opened the car door, started the car, moved in front of him, and opened the car door for him: "Teacher Su , please get in the car."

Sunan replied with a smile: "What a good student." Then he sat down unceremoniously.After closing the car door, he moved around, feeling a little uncomfortable, and then reached out to feel under the seat.

Li Yuan originally stepped on the gas pedal, but seeing that he didn't know what he was touching, he released the gas pedal and asked, "What are you doing?"

"The seat is uncomfortable." Sunan replied, the movement of his hands really didn't mean to stop at all, "This seat was used by women before, right? Why is the back of the chair leaning back?"

Li Yuan frowned, because Sunan hit him right where it hurts. His girlfriend broke up with him half a month ago, but she has been busy with work recently, which made him have some doubts about that woman's life. Some imprints were not eliminated in time.But he didn't intend to adjust the angle of the seat back because of this, he just stepped on the accelerator and drove the car out of the garage.

The car drove on the road for a while, and Sunan said: "Mr. Li, don't you ask where my family lives?"

After his reminder, Li Yuan suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask this crucial question, coughed in embarrassment, and asked for the address of his residence.Sunan answered his question, leaning against the car window with his head resting on his arms, watching his face change for a while, he found it very interesting, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

Sensing that the other party was looking at him, Li Yuan felt a little unnatural, he couldn't help reaching out and unbuttoning his clothes, and then complained that the heater was turned on a little too loudly.Sunan smiled hehe and didn't reply to his words.

Then, he turned his gaze to the outside of the car window, and the rainwater slid down the car window in wisps, and the wind blew past, breaking into particles and flying away.Pedestrians outside the window are holding umbrellas, fastening their collars and rushing in the rain. The lights of this city look charming and dreamy in the rain, like a weird and beautiful dream.

After driving for 10 minutes, the car came to the downstairs of the apartment that Sunan said.Sunan took his coat from the back seat of the car, put it on, looked at Li Yuan, and smiled: "Mr. Li, do you want to go up and have a drink?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "No need, I've already had coffee before."

"Really?" Sunan was not angry at his refusal, but smiled more happily, "Then I'll leave, I really troubled Mr. Li." After finishing speaking, he took his own things and opened the car. The door got out of the car, and the moment he closed the door, he knocked hard on the window as if he suddenly remembered something.

Li Yuan rolled down the car window and looked at him: "Is there anything else?"

Sunan smiled at him: "Miss Xiao will be here on time tomorrow, Mr. Li, don't forget."

Li Yuan watched the rain fall on his coat, which was fluffy and very beautiful, but his jet-black hair became even blacker under the soaking of the rain, which made him suddenly a little distracted.He collected himself, and replied, "Thank you for reminding me." Then he paused, and continued, "Mr. Su, you should go in quickly, your hair is wet." Then, he pointed to Sunan's hair.

Sunan touched his hair, said "thank you", then turned around with a smile and went upstairs.

Li Yuan watched him enter the corridor, then glanced at the apartment, rolled up the windows, turned on the lights, reversed the car, and drove the car onto the driveway.

Back at his residence, Li Yuan didn't turn on the light, he threw the coat in his hand on the sofa in the living room, then fell on the sofa himself, took out a cigarette and lit it.In the dark, he watched the little red dot on his fingertips flickering on and off, thinking deeply.

Suddenly, the phone rang. He searched around for a long time, but couldn't find it. He had to stand up and look for it, and finally found the phone in his coat pocket.When he took the phone out of his pocket, the ringing stopped again.

"~ When you hit it, you will be killed, and when you pick it up, you will be blamed^"

Li Yuan complained in his heart, glanced at the number on it, then closed the phone with a snap, and threw it aside. He has never been interested in going back to such a disconnected phone.

If the other party has something, they will always call again.

He has always had this idea.

Sure enough, before the cigarette in Li Yuan's hand was finished, the phone rang again. Li Yuan picked up the phone, squinted his eyes to look at the number for a while, and then answered it.

On the other end of the phone was a voice he used to be very familiar with, saying something he didn't like very much.

Throughout the phone call, he said very little, mostly words like "en", "ah" and "oh", or words like "okay", "yes" and "can".And then ended the seemingly not so long phone call in "Goodbye".

Li Yuan put down the phone, and realized that the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out, he got up and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, hummed the song from the previous dance, twisted his waist, took off his clothes like a convulsion, and went into the bathroom .
