Only one step away

Sunan exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Lang for a long time before turning his attention to Li Yuan and Fan Jie. He seemed to have not noticed the doubt and uneasiness revealed in Li Yuan's eyes, but was just enthusiastic. He introduced Xiao Lang to the two of them.

"This is Xiao Lang, a friend I met when I was studying in Argentina." Sunan smiled and patted Xiao Lang on the shoulder.

Li Yuan glanced at Xiao Lang, and found that the other person's figure was much better than his own - the abdominal muscles can be described as perfect - Li Yuan thought of the circle of flesh on his stomach, although he still thinks he pays attention to his figure on weekdays Well maintained, but in front of Xiao Lang, his figure pales in comparison.

It seems to be a good exercise.Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

Xiao Lang stretched out his hand and smiled at Li Yuan: "Mr. Li, we met before, do you remember?"

Li Yuan shook his hand back: "I remember, we met once in a bar."

"It's really good that you remember. If you can't remember that incident, I really feel a little embarrassed." Xiao Lang said with a smile.

Fan Jie was confused and asked, "What? What? You guys still know each other?"

"This is a chance meeting in a bar, Li Yuan and Xiao Lang don't know each other." Sunan explained from the side.

"But no matter what you say about this world, it still feels very small. And..." Fan Jie said, looking at Li Yuan meaningfully, "I always feel that there seems to be some secrets that I don't know about flowing between you two. !"

Li Yuan was a little frightened by Fan Jie's words, he cast a glance at Sunan, who looked calm and couldn't see anything wrong, so he could only cough twice in embarrassment, and said: "It's just a coincidence , and there is no secret to hide."

Fortunately, Fan Jie was not interested in pursuing his slightly rough remarks, but turned her attention to the topic that Sunan said next, so Li Yuan suddenly felt relieved.

"After we met last time, I discussed with Xiao Lang, chose suitable dance music for you, and made an arrangement." Sunan took out his mobile phone while talking, pressed the play button, and the dance classroom began A familiar melody echoed.

Por Una Cabeza.

It's just the song that Li Yuan is most familiar with. It originated from the first time he and Sunan danced together. This was the background music at that time. Therefore, for Li Yuan, this song is special, it is Exclusively for him and Sunan.

So when Li Yuan heard this piece of music, his expression was a little terribly serious.

Sunan didn't seem to notice Li Yuan, he just waited until the end of the song, stood aside and continued to explain the reason why he chose this song.

"This song is PorUna Cabeza, Chinese translation, one step away, also called just one step away. It was created in 1935 and became the ultimate representative of Argentine tango dance music." Sunan slowly narrated the origin of this song, "But We usually listen to the music accompaniment most of the time, and today we are playing Carlos Gardel's singing version, in order to understand what the song is about before teaching you the dance steps."

As Sunan spoke, he took out a page of paper that was put aside, read the entire lyrics in fluent Argentine, and then translated it to them:

Only one step away

Slowly widen the distance between us

noble racehorse who won a race by a single step

When it turned around, I heard it say to me: 'Brother, don't forget, you know you shouldn't bet'

just one step away

A burst of love from that provocative, joyful woman

It seems that there is nothing / not / not / hanging on her body except for smile and love.

Let all my love burn fiercely

just one step away

Full of madness, her kissing lips

swept away all sorrow

soothed all the pain

just one step away

If she forgets me, I will die a thousand times

If she forgot me, why should I live

Trick, trick, one step away

I swore a thousand times and told myself not to sink in again

But as long as she glances at me and chuckles as she walks by

Makes me want to kiss her passionate lips like fire again

If love is like a horse race, that's enough

I don't want to gamble anymore, I don't want to wait for that farewell photo

But if next time a horse wins as sure as it comes Sunday

What else can I do?

I'll still bet everything

After translating the complete piece of music, Sunan continued: "This Tango-style piece is in the form of ABAB. The piece is full of inconsistencies and well-arranged styles. Therefore, this time, we also want to create a dance based on the dance. A perfect rendition of the song, dancing to the interpretation of the lyrics, about love/rejection and obsession.”

"Su..." As soon as Li Yuan opened his mouth, he was shocked by the look in Sunan's eyes. He had never said that Sunan had such an expression, serious and serious, and an undeniable awe.

Sunan glanced at Li Yuan and continued: "The reason why I chose this song is not only because it is the representative song of Argentine tango, but also because Li Yuan always used this song as an accompaniment when he was learning to dance with me. Since Li Yuan is a beginner, I think that instead of choosing new dance music, it is more appropriate to use the songs he is familiar with as accompaniment."

Fan Jie listened from the side, and nodded: "Although Li Yuan's current dance steps look fine, if you really want to change to other unfamiliar songs, it's really not that easy to get used to it. The days are numbered."

"The above is my explanation." After finishing speaking, Sunan looked around at the people in front of him, "Do you have any other suggestions or opinions?"

Xiao Lang shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he had no objection, and Fan Jie naturally had no objection.As for Li Yuan, he looked at Sunan seriously, without saying a word, expressing neither approval nor disapproval.

Sunan didn't look directly at Li Yuan's face, he just turned his eyes to another place, then clapped his hands and said, "If you have no other opinions, then I will start the next choreography demonstration."

Li Yuan clearly regarded indifference as an objection, but Sunan regarded it as acquiescence, which made Li Yuan very depressed. However, in terms of love, Li Yuan is no longer what he used to be. His attitude towards Sunan He is obedient and obedient, and he will not question, let alone object.

"Considering that Li Yuan has always been in charge of me, Xiao Lang is the choreographer with me this time. I dance the female step, and Xiao Lang is the male step." Su Nan said, pulling Xiao Lang's hand. He walked to the middle of the dance classroom with his hands, and the two hugged each other. Sunan held his shoulder with one hand, and pressed half of his body to the other's body.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan's eyes were about to burst into flames - he really wanted to rush forward and take Sunan off that man - even if it was necessary, he couldn't see Sunan hugging another man. What's more, the other party is a man who never hides his love and is passionately pursuing Sunan.

"Miss Fan, please, press the play button."

"Ok."

The music slowly flowed in the dance classroom again, and Sunan and Xiao Lang started dancing to the rhythm of the music. Li Yuan was very jealous, but he had to admit that the dance steps of Sunan and Xiao Lang looked like that Fit, each step of the cross step and look back, accompanied by the rhythm of the song, is perfectly interpreting the love rapped in the lyrics "It's just such a step difference, full of enthusiasm, her kissing lips, sweeping away all Soothes all pain; just one step, if she forgets me, I would die a thousand times, if she forgets me, why should I live? Trick, trick, one step .”

When the dance music ended, Sunan and Xiao Lang's dance also ended. When the dance was frozen at the last movement, Li Yuan had completely forgotten his jealousy and was completely immersed in the other party's dance. ——He has seen Sunan dance, but he has never seen Sunan dance with other people. The tension in Sunan's dance steps is something he has never seen in Fan Jie and others' dances——Li Yuan knows the women of tango The steps should be lingering, but Sunan's female steps are not only lingering, but also a little distant, and the eyes and demeanor she looks at Xiao Lang are even more repulsive, this is a step away.

This is the Sunan he is unfamiliar with, the Sunan he has never known before.

If, as the song says, love is only one step away, then how many steps are Li Yuan and Sunan apart?

Li Yuan asked himself this question in his heart, but he couldn't give himself an answer.

He suddenly remembered those days and nights that he had been lingering with, and the uneasiness and emptiness that surged in his heart when the body was handed over, and he suddenly understood something.

I have never known Sunan before, so no matter how many times I have hugged and kissed, no matter how fit my body is, I can't close the distance between souls.

It is precisely because I understand that the distance between souls cannot be melted into one body no matter whether it is only one step or the end of the world, so I yearn for the body even more. However, the fusion of souls and the connection of bodies seem to be a paradox. , the more you yearn for it, the more painful your heart will be because the soul can't get close.

Love Sunan.

Just three words, why is it so difficult to do?

Sunan walked up to Fan Jie and Li Yuan, took a sip of coffee, calmed down a bit, and said, "It's been a long time since I skipped a complete Argentine tango dance, what's wrong with that?" Miss Fan, please take care of me."

Fan Jie smiled and said: "Su Nan, what you said is too foreign. I don't know what kind of person you are? Although I seldom see you dancing women's steps, I must admit that you are dancing today. It was really good."

Xiao Lang interjected with a smile on the side: "Su Nan is right, he has not skipped the women's step for a long time. In my memory, the last time he danced the women's step was in Buenos Aires with me. At the dance competition in Siares, in the final show, the men's tango was drawn by lottery."

Hearing him talk about the past, Sunan couldn't help but blushed a little: "I know, it was all on purpose."

Xiao Lang laughed and hugged his shoulders: "But you didn't dance very happily that time. Although it is clear that both men and women dance in the men's tango, you want to dance the women's step. At that time, you scared a group of people. , but that dance was really amazing, it combined the femininity of a woman and the strength of a man, it was in that dance that I deeply realized that you are the indispensable other half of my life!"

As Xiao Lang said, he took Sun Nan's hand and wanted to put his lips on the back of his hand.However, Sunan withdrew his hand quickly, then turned to Li Yuan's side, coughed twice, and said, "Let's not gossip, let's start explaining the main points of the dance?"

Li Yuan looked at Sunan who was standing beside him, and his heart that was originally down suddenly warmed up a little bit. At least at this moment, he still firmly believed that Sunan chose himself, not the moment before him. A man who loves talking.

Sunan and Xiao Lang began to explain the essentials of each dance step to Fan Jie and Li Yuan respectively.Although Li Yuan listened to Xiao Lang's explanation, his eyes were fixed on Sunan.

Regarding this point, Xiao Lang could see clearly.

Men's steps are generally much simpler than women's steps. After explaining the movements, Xiao Lang leaned into Li Yuan's ear and whispered, "How far have you and Sunan developed?"

Li Yuan froze for a moment, then frowned—he really didn't like being questioned about such personal matters, especially by his rival in love.

"Why do you know? Sunan told you?" Li Yuan asked.

Xiao Lang shook his fingers: "He's not the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk about private matters, so I guessed this. When we first met, I had already determined that you and I were the same kind of person."

"The same kind of people?" Li Yuan shook his head, "I'm not gay, I just like Sunan, and it just so happens that Sunan is a man."

Xiao Lang smiled, noncommittal: "I've heard this saying from many straight men. In fact, why do people care about the definition of sexual orientation? Like me, I only care about whether the person I like is compatible with my soul. As for the The gender of the person, that's not my concern."

"Gender is not an obstacle between me and Sunan." Li Yuan emphasized.

"Perhaps?" Xiao Lang looked at him, still smiling, "In your opinion, it is true, but Sunan doesn't think so."

"What do you mean!?"

"I don't mean anything." Xiao Lang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm just reminding you that Sunan is not the only suitor of you, or he belongs to you now, but life is still very long, Who will Sunan's future life belong to? It's still uncertain, Li Yuan."

The conversation between Xiao Lang and Li Yuan ended with the instruction of Sunan and Fan Jie, followed by the step-by-step dance instructions of Sunan and Xiao Lang.Every time Sunan and Xiao Lang finished dancing a section, Li Yuan and Fan Jie would repeat the section, and then Xiao Lang and Sunan would come to correct and demonstrate their mistakes or non-standard movements.

This process was extremely difficult and slow. The four of them spent several hours in the dance classroom, and only made a small correction to the first bar of the dance, which was far from Fan Jie's goal of winning the championship at the party. It's not even close.

Seeing that the hour hand had already pointed to 23 o'clock, the four had no choice but to end their dance training.Seeing Sunan skillfully put on his coat and scarf, Li Yuan took the initiative to say, "I'll take you home."

Sunan stopped putting on the scarf, glanced at Fan Jie, and said, "Although I like your behavior of respecting teachers and morals very much, on this occasion, I suggest that you should be a gentleman first and escort the lady It’s better to go home.”

"There's no problem for the four of us to ride in the same car." Li Yuan didn't give up on Sunan's rejection.

While talking, Xiao Lang smiled and grabbed the motorcycle helmet and put it on Sunan's shoulder, saying: "It's your responsibility to send the lady home. It's my duty to send Sunan home."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lang didn't wait for Sunan's answer, but forcefully put the helmet on Sunan's head, then grabbed Sunan's hand, and quickly left the dance classroom.

Seeing the two of them leave together, Li Yuan felt very uncomfortable.However, he didn't have much choice, but smiled awkwardly and said to Fan Jie, "Miss Fan, I'll take you home."

Fan Jie smiled and said, "I drove here myself."

"Really?" Li Yuan felt that the current self was like a joke, and he didn't even have the courage to smile wryly, so he just sighed and said, "I'm so sorry."

Fan Jie looked at him, sighed, took out the key from her bag, and handed it to him: "You can take me back. Your car is parked here today, but you will pick me up here tomorrow. .”

Li Yuan couldn't refuse Fan Jie's kindness.He took the key, put on his coat and escorted Fan Jie out of the dance classroom, and drove Fan Jie's car on the way to send her home.

Along the way, both of them were silent.

The car was parked downstairs at Fan Jie's building. Li Yuan stood outside the car and watched Fan Jie enter the building. He wanted to turn around and return to the car, but he heard Fan Jie calling his name behind him.He turned around and looked at Fan Jie, who was frowning at him with undisguised worry in her eyes.

"Be careful on the way back, and call me when you get home." Fan Jie gestured with him in front of the gate.

Li Yuan nodded, waved at her, then got back into the car, and drove away from Fan Jie's downstairs.

Back home, Li Yuan threw himself on the bed.

Li Yuan was lying on the bed, took out his mobile phone after a while, and found Sunan's phone number in the communication bar. After looking at it for a long time, he only dialed Fan Jie's phone number. After a brief exchange of peace and good night, he Hastily hung up the phone.

The moment he hung up the phone, he suddenly remembered that today he planned to confess to Fan Jie, he had the opportunity to talk about it in the car, but his mind was full of thoughts about Xiao Lang and Sunan leaving together Son, now he has missed the opportunity to be alone in the car, and Li Yuan doesn't know if he will have a suitable opportunity to talk about this matter again in the future.

Sunan...

Li Yuan sighed, threw the phone aside, and curled his body into a ball.
