Chapter 169 Dancing Solo
In a girls' dormitory.

Two tall girls were struggling to drag another petite and thin girl towards the door.

"Oh, Xin'erbao, you've been curled up in bed crying for several days. You don't go to class every day and don't eat much. How can your body bear it if you continue like this?" Tang Qingning hugged the girl's left arm tightly.

Lei Yan hugged the girl's right arm and advised: "Yes, there is a Yuanchu Gala at school this year. Let's go and see it together. Xin Baoer, you are not allowed to isolate us!"

At this time, Lu Xin was wearing a white dress. Her big, lively eyes looked a little red and swollen, her cheeks were a little swollen, and her hair was messy on her forehead. She looked completely devoid of the gentle and beautiful temperament she had before.

The fact that Qi Sui was left in the Yushan Secret Realm forever was no secret to the students of the Apocalypse Department.

Lu Xin is a very emotional and kind person. Even if an ordinary friend encountered such a thing, she would feel very sad, let alone Qi Sui, who holds an inexplicably important position in her heart. She suddenly felt her emotions out of control and her heart was broken.

She was sick in bed for several days and her weight dropped by ten kilograms from 85 kilograms. She looked so weak that she seemed like a gust of wind could blow her down.

As roommates, how could Lei Yan and others not know about Xin Baoer's situation? They also felt very sorry about what happened to Qi Sui, but life must go on after all, and people cannot always be trapped in the past.

"Xin Baoer, do you know that there is a super handsome sports student performing martial arts boxing at the school celebration tonight?"

"Hey, Director, that boy you're talking about couldn't be Wang Bin from the Sports College? I saw him from a distance before, and he's really handsome, just like a movie star!"

"..."

While using verbal attacks, several people dragged Lu Xin out of the dormitory.

At this time, Lu Xin stopped resisting.

She rubbed her red and swollen eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go to Qinglong Martial Arts University to watch the evening party!"

"what……"

The other three girls looked at each other in confusion.

"Xin Baoer, in your current state, going to Qinglong..."

Tang Qingning's face was full of worry. She was really afraid that the girl would be reminded of the past when she went there, making her already bad mood even worse.

Finally, it was the dormitory head Lei Yan who nodded and said, "It's also good to go to Qinglong Martial Arts University. I heard that the New Year's Day celebration they hold is more unique than ours. Every year, many students from other schools go in to watch."

Just as Lei Yan expected.

The four girls entered the playground of Qinglong Martial Arts University with the campus cards of Shenhua University. Looking around, they saw a sea of ​​people. A rough estimate showed that there were more than 100,000 people, which was much larger than their school.

"Are there so many people at Qinglong's New Year's Day party? There are only a few thousand students in school!" Tang Qingning said in surprise.

In the extremely crowded crowd, it was very difficult for several people to move forward one meter.

Lei Yan said: "Qinglong's New Year's Eve party is always very exciting. It is considered a special project of their school and is very famous among the college students in Tianfu City."

"It's just that I didn't expect so many people to come. It's too much. One-tenth of the college students in Tianfu City must have squeezed in, right?"

"Only Qinglong's playground is big enough to accommodate so many people."

"Head of the dormitory, come with me. I've been here to play before. There's an observation deck in the southwest corner of the playground with a great view!" Lu Xin, who had been feeling depressed, spoke in a low voice.

Everyone agreed and followed her towards the southwest corner of the playground.

Soon, we saw the viewing building with seven platforms that the girl mentioned.

But they arrived a little late, and the place was already crowded with people, most of whom were wearing the green Qinglong school uniform, and they were all students of the school.

"I'm sorry, classmates. Today's situation is special and there is a shortage of seats on the observation deck. Only students from our school can go up there!" Several young boys in the audience said apologetically.

Under normal circumstances, they would have loved to have more contact with the four beauties in front of them, but today it was really not possible. If they dared to put anyone up there, they would just have to wait to be dealt with by their seniors.

Lu Xin didn't argue too much. She said in a low voice with red eyes: "Sorry for bothering you. We can just find another place."

Just as the women turned around and prepared to leave, a shout was heard from the observation deck.

"Um, may I ask your classmate Lu Xin from Shenhua University?"

"Oh, I am. What's the matter?"

Lu Xin turned around in confusion and looked at the handsome yet familiar face.

"Student Lu Xin, bring your friends up here. My name is Zhou Shentong, and I'm Qi Sui's classmate!"

Afterwards, Zhou Shentong said to the sophomores guarding the gate, "Senior Liu, let them come up. That girl is Qi Sui's friend. I saw them hanging out at school before."

"So you're Brother Qi's friend. Let's go up quickly. The seventh floor has a great view and you can get a complete view of the night performance stage." Several boys immediately put on eager smiles.

Although they have never come into contact with Qi Sui, the influence of the name Qi Sui in Qinglong Martial Arts University has already surpassed that of their big sister Shen Luoyan.

Everyone in the school looks respectful when they mention this legendary figure who won the title of "Rookie of the Year" and was able to be crowned "King" of martial arts in his freshman year.

The four girls thanked him politely, and then, led by one of the boys, went to the seventh-floor observation deck.

Zhou Shentong immediately walked over and chatted with Lu Xin. He had no desire for her, only concern for her as a friend.

Seeing that the girl had no interest in communicating, he tactfully shut his mouth and stepped aside. He looked at Lu Xin calmly, wondering in his heart what kind of relationship there was between her and Qi Sui.
Looking at this look, they don't seem like ordinary friends!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shentong couldn't help but marvel at the thought. The captain is the captain. Although he is not as handsome as himself, he is much more charming.

Not only is he close to the school's mysterious and noble girl, Gu Xiyue, he is also very close to the big sister Shen Luoyan. Now, a quiet and well-behaved beautiful girl from Shenhua University has appeared.

It's just a pity...

His mood couldn't help but sink.

When he first entered school, he was indeed arrogant as a genius and wanted to compete with Qi Sui. However, at the Hundred Schools Martial Arts Conference, the king's almost invincible attitude really defeated him.

Before I knew it, the sky had become completely dark.

The playground was blocked and no one was allowed to enter at will. People from the student union began to maintain order and the chaotic crowd on the playground soon quieted down.

The lights on the huge party stage lit up, making the night look magnificent.

Two hosts, one male and one female, walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Welcome students from Qinglong Martial Arts University and students from other schools. We are all gathered here and hope to have a wonderful and unforgettable night!"

"Qinglong's New Year's Day celebration party begins now!"

The atmosphere in the playground was instantly pushed to a climax, with cheers like a tsunami and thunderous applause.

"First, let us enjoy the Zhu Xian Sword Dance performed by the third-year students of the Kendo Academy!"

Dozens of boys in flowing white robes walked onto the stage, holding long swords with concentrated momentum, and wielded their swords to the background music, perfectly blending the swordplay with the rhythm of the music.

It has both masculine sword spirit and elegant beauty.

"Wow, so handsome!"

"I really like that little brother who's leading the dance. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?" "Wow, I can't take it anymore. I'm so wet!"

"..."

The girls' ear-piercing screams were so loud that they even drowned out the sound waves on the stage.

At Qinglong Martial Arts University, where the male-to-female ratio is as high as ten to one, there was a strange sight that there were more girls than boys on the playground tonight, which is enough to show the appeal of Qinglong Martial Arts University among female college students.

As for the students of Qinglong School on the observation deck, they were full of teasing and kept pointing out some embarrassing actions of the sword-dancing students, and even more remarks were made about the girls from other schools.

They are all young men who have practiced martial arts for many years and are full of vigor and vitality. How can they resist the temptation of these beautiful bodies of the opposite sex?

But they soon realized that there were other people on the observation deck, and they immediately shut their mouths, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull for a while.

Lei Yan and the others seemed very excited, dancing and screaming constantly, which was in stark contrast to Lu Xin, who was sitting quietly beside them with her beautiful eyes deep and no one knew what she was thinking about.

After a few minutes, the sword dance performance ended.

The second program was a poetry recitation by several burly boys from the Kung Fu Institute.

It must be said that this program was a bit disappointing in the eyes of students from other schools, but the response among students from our school was surprisingly good.

The third show...

Time passed quickly, and one wonderful performance after another brought the atmosphere of the party to a climax.

After more than ten seconds of applause, the young female host walked onto the stage again. She looked at the card in her hand and read, "The next show is presented by..."

Suddenly, her expression became a little strange. She stopped reading and immediately ran off the stage to discuss in a low voice with a few people next to her.

This situation, which had never happened before, aroused the curiosity of all the students present.

A few minutes later, the hostess walked onto the stage again.

This time she did not hesitate, and announced in a clear and loud voice: "The next program is a dance performed by our school's newcomer Wang Qisui and Gu Xiyue, who performed well in the freshman team - the bell in the opposite direction!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into a violent uproar.

Students from other schools are more looking forward to seeing this year's "Newcomer King", but only students from this school know that it is impossible for "Newcomer King" Qi Sui to appear here.

"Sister Lin, did you read the program list wrong?" a boy near the stage asked loudly.

"Yeah, Brother Qi, isn't his show cancelled?"

The host Lin Rong said firmly: "This is the news I just received. The show will go on as usual. Please enjoy it quietly!"

After saying this, she slowly stepped off the stage.

The entire playground fell into an eerie silence.

The girls from other schools also realized that something was wrong and their screams became much quieter.

Suddenly, the huge light used for illumination was turned off.

In an instant, the playground was shrouded in darkness.

A beautiful and dreamy blue light lit up, covering a tall figure below the stage, making her the focus of everyone's world in an instant.

The facial features, which were already so delicate that there were no flaws, became even more stunningly beautiful after a little light makeup.

Her temperament was cold and indifferent, like a flower on a high mountain that could not be desecrated, and there was an indescribable air of nobility between her brows, as if a goddess was walking in the world.

Everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes widened, not willing to blink, for fear of missing out on this beauty that shouldn't belong to this mortal world.

A pair of white and tender feet wrapped in crystal high heels walked on the cold steps all the way to the center of the stage.

Gu Xiyue pursed her lips tightly, adjusted her mood, and under the gazes of countless people, she bowed gently to the air in front of her, then gently extended her hand and made the starting posture for the dance.

The atmosphere in the conference hall exploded again.

Everyone realized one thing: tonight Gu Xiyue would be performing this dance alone, which was supposed to be performed by two people.

The students from other schools were full of confusion and asked, "Where's the Rookie of the Year? We want to see the Rookie of the Year!"

The students of our school felt even more upset. Qi Sui had an accident. Logically, Gu Xiyue could have canceled the performance, but she chose to insist on completing it. Could it be because...

Ignore the outside noise and don't care about what other people think.

Gu Xiyue, who had been in a irritable mood for a long time, miraculously calmed down the moment the melodious and sad dance music sounded.

"Qi Sui."

Gu Xiyue murmured.

The slender legs under the noble pure white dress took a step forward, and the right hand drew a beautiful arc in the air. Every movement was impeccable and natural, as if there was a real partner dancing with her in front of her.

In the past few days, she has spent a lot of time practicing dancing alone, and her feet have become red and swollen.

It seemed that only in this way could she temporarily forget the carefree smile in the boy's eyes at the last moment and soothe the pain in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"I always thought that I didn't have the feeling of a lover towards you."

“I always thought we had a lot of time.”

"I always thought that ..."

The girl cried and complained, but only she could hear what she said.

Suddenly, she remembered what Qi Sui once said, that their dance seemed to lack some artistic conception.

Now, she understood what Shao’s original intention was.

That is the feeling of a dancer.

The audiences were all immersed in the girl's graceful dance, especially those who were familiar with her. Because the dance was so perfect, they could even imagine Qi Sui's figure in the dance, feel the emotions that the dancer wanted to convey, and were deeply moved by it.

Before we knew it, the dance reached its climax.

Gu Xiyue's dance was extremely passionate yet elegant, like a proud and beautiful peacock spreading its tail. The scene of that night appeared in her light pink pupils again, and Qi Sui's mouth pressed towards her almost rudely.

Amid the heartbreak of countless boys and the screams of girls, Gu Xiyue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she shyly but with great determination made a gesture for a kiss towards the air.

If she could do it again, she would never choose to escape.
