There is no melodious accompaniment or pleasant tones, but it can penetrate the heart and hit the deepest weakness.
Why did the girl on the stage, who was clearly smiling, burst into tears, and why was it so distressing?
In the silence without applause, Shen Dapeng held his guitar and reached out to ask Wang Xueying to step off the stage with him, but Wang Xueying avoided his hand for the first time.
"I sing so hard, thank you all for liking me, thank you."
Wang Xueying's voice was still a little hoarse, and she bowed deeply. When she lowered her head, she took the opportunity to wipe away her tears. A smile appeared on her face again, and she walked backstage without paying attention to Shen Dapeng behind her.
Shen Dapeng shrugged helplessly, waved goodbye to his classmates off the stage, carried the guitar back behind the curtain, handed the guitar back to a boy, and chased Wang Xueying, who was striding straight.
Walking all the way to the back door of the dressing room backstage, in the dark night, I found Wang Xueying squatting in the corner of the bushes.
"It's cold outside, go back inside!"
Shen Dapeng walked slowly and squatted next to Wang Xueying.
"You don't have to worry about it."
Wang Xueying replied angrily.
"Xueying, we are classmates, deskmates, and good friends. Shouldn't we care about you?"
"Shen Dapeng, I warn you, we are classmates and sit at the same table, but we are not good friends and we will never become good friends, because you are destined to be my man, and I will definitely become your woman, definitely!!"
Wang Xueying's eyes were always fixed on the ground, without looking at Shen Dapeng. Her tone of voice was unquestionable, as if she was speaking to Shen Dapeng, but it was more like an oath, more like an explanation given by herself.
"Some things can't be forced, why bother? You are a good girl..."
"I know that I am a good girl. You don't need to send me a good person card. My dad and my sister have nothing to do with my affairs, let alone you. You just need to be prepared to become my man."
Wang Xueying suddenly stood up and walked towards the house. When she came to the door, she did not forget to emphasize again, "Remember, I will never let go in this life, my whole life, never!"
"call!"
Staring intently at Wang Xueying's lost but determined back, Shen Dapeng could not think of a better way to reject Wang Xueying except for taking a deep breath.
The blunt rejection before, the tactful lyrics just now, and even the unfair and ungentlemanly behavior toward Wang Xueying failed to break Wang Xueying's heartstrings. What else could he do except remain silent?
Having experienced the vicissitudes of a plain life, and experiencing the life and death of his relatives, Shen Dapeng can deal with many things with a mature mind, and he can also persist with the creed in his heart.
But with the word 'feeling', he can't say 'not surprised by favors and humiliations, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court', nor can he 'not be careless about leaving or leaving, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky'.
He cherishes his precious love with Cao Mengyuan, but he doesn't dislike Wang Xueying's madness and cheerfulness. People's hearts are full of flesh. How many people can turn a blind eye to sacrifices without expecting anything in return?
In the sub-zero cold wind, Shen Dapeng squatted for more than ten minutes until his feet became numb. Then he slowly stood up and rubbed his legs that were unable to walk due to paralysis.
He put away his dazed gaze, patted his cheeks with both hands as if slapping him, trying to stay awake as much as possible, then rubbed his cheeks as if washing his face, and sighed deeply.
He knew very well that what he was about to do now was a "four-year agreement." As an upright man, he could not break his oath, and he was not good at liking the new and hating the old. If he could, he would prefer to "win with someone and stay together for a lifetime."
When we returned to the auditorium, the performance on the stage had long ended. There were no more boring three-and-a-half lines, and no hot modern dance. Under the dim light, a slightly lazy waltz came out from the speakers leisurely.
Although Shuimu University is a national first-class university, there are only a few students who can dance ballroom. Most people are gathered around, talking and laughing, exchanging gifts, and chatting.
"Hey, Dapeng, I didn't expect you to sing quite well."
Shen Dapeng was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and when he looked back, Qu Yina was smiling sweetly, looking up at him.
"When did you come? Did you hear me singing?"
"I happened to see you being pushed onto the stage by your good brother, haha!"
Qu Yina covered her mouth and snickered, but she couldn't stop the laughter that came from her heart and was stuck in her throat.
"Well……"
Shen Dapeng looked a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "I didn't expect you to come. Aren't you tired enough from the work in the laboratory? Why don't you go home and rest early?"
"Today is Christmas Eve, and it will be Christmas in two hours. It is a festival that only happens once a year. Of course, we have to have fun all night long. When we were in the United States, a group of people would have a carnival every Christmas. The scene was much bigger than what we have here.
Nothing worse than that.”
Qu Yina did not wear her usual professional attire today, just a normal girl's jeans and a sweater. Under the light brown outfit, her plump figure could not be concealed, especially when she swayed her body slowly to the music, the bulge on her chest swayed.
It doesn't stop, it becomes more attractive.
"Shen Dapeng, can you dance?"
While Qu Yina was asking, her green and white jade hand had already been handed over to Shen Dapeng, and she was just waiting for Shen Dapeng to take another step forward.
"I...can't."
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly awkwardly. In his past life, he had rarely been exposed to such dance parties. Even in his previous life, he discussed business with many bosses, and it was a nightlife of drinking and drinking. If he was allowed to dance to a disco or slow rock, that would be fine.
He really doesn't know how to ballroom dance.
"I can teach you, come on!!"
Shen Dapeng didn't take the initiative, and Qu Yina was about to drag Shen Dapeng into the dance floor. At this time, Qifeng came out from nowhere and stood in front of the two of them, with a smile on his face and a gentleman's big hand.
"Ina, I guess you will come to the dance. Can we dance together?"
"I don't want to dance!"
Qu Yina was a little surprised by Qifeng's sudden appearance, but she quickly regained her composure and refused Qifeng's invitation without hesitation.
"You were dancing with Shen Dapeng just now, why don't you want to dance anymore? He can't, but I can!"
"I don't want to dance now, can't I?"
Qu Yina does not hate Qifeng. After all, she has been her classmate and friend for many years. She does not want to give Qifeng too many ideas. Since there is no possibility of being together, she will not play ambiguously.
"Ina, tonight is Christmas Eve. We have been friends for many years. Can't we just dance? Are you too cruel to me? I came here specifically to have the first dance with you..."
"Ina said she didn't want to dance, why did you force her? You are so ungentlemanly."
Qi Feng still wanted to persist, but he heard sarcasm coming from the side, and the tone was a bit strange, and his words were a bit jerky and awkward. When he turned around, he saw two foreigners looking at Qu Yina with a smile.
