Chapter 150 - Grow Up A Little More (2)
When the two returned to the banquet hall, the other students had already taken the dance floor. Applause echoed through the banquet hall as the speaker stepped down from the podium, indicating that the party had officially started.
Instead of joining the others, they found a seat in a corner. Lu Qingfeng had just given Su Xiaofei a plate of sweets when he was found and dragged away by his teammates from the basketball team.
Su Xiaofei smiled at them and didn't bother Lu Qingfeng when he silently asked her for help.
"Come on, there's someone who wants to meet you." One of his teammates said. "You should really socialize more and meet a lot of girls."
"It's bothersome. I'm not interested."
Su Xiaofei didn't comment, but oddly, the thought of Lu Qingfeng having an unknown woman that wasn't her by his side, bothered her. She had this uneasiness in her heart. She shook her head in an attempt to clear her thoughts away. There's no reason for her to monopolize Lu Qingfeng's attention.
Wasn't it because of her that he had led a lonely life in her previous life? How could she let that happen today?
Su Xiaofei knew that he should probably meet and consider another woman, but it just didn't sit well with her.
'You're becoming more selfish and unreasonable, Su Xioafei." She berated herself inwardly.
There's nothing else that could be done by now. She was certainly too young to consider dating and marriage at this point, as she still had a lot of things to figure out. Lu Qingfeng was also too young to worry about such things.
Lu Qingfeng sighed, but he politely declined his teammates' request. There was no way in hell he would choose another woman in front of Su Xiaofei. Not in their past lives, and certainly not today nor in the future.
His teammates left in disappointment as they failed to convince Lu Qingfeng to join the group of girls that were excited to see him. Alas, without the star of their team, how would they be able to face them?
Just as soon as they left, Song Yiran came and smiled brightly towards Su Xiaofei.
"Could I have the honor of dancing to this song with this beautiful young lady?"
Perhaps the bright lights within the banquet hall made Song Yiran look exceptionally dashing tonight.
Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow, but didn't budge from her seat. Compared to Lu Qingfeng's cold countenance, Song Yiran's aura was very warm and welcoming.
Obviously, Lu Qingfeng wasn't pleased with Song Yiran's appearance. He was Su Xiaofei's escort, and yet he hadn't had the chance to dance with her yet. There was no way he would allow another man to snatch her away from him yet again. Also, how can he not know the interest Song Yiran had towards her?
"Feifei, considering I came with you, won't you give me your first dance?" He asked, taking Su Xiaofei's attention away from the other man.
Su Xiaofei blinked and turned to face him. She could see that he was somewhat upset because of Song Yiran. She briefly thought that she had no idea what Lu Qingfeng looked like when he was jealous. Seeing him like this, she thought that perhaps that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Huh? You two haven't danced yet? What were you doing earlier?" Song Yiran laughed.
"Okay, I think I should let Lu Qingfeng have your first dance then. I'll see you around, Classmate Su." He said before winking at Su Xiaofei.
The young woman scoffed and allowed Lu Qingfeng to take her hand, leading her to the dance floor. Surprisingly, even after not being able to dance for a long time since she became crippled in her previous life, her body was able to move naturally with Lu Qingfeng's lead. She was a little worried that she might step on Lu Qingfeng's foot, but it never happened.
Other attendees stopped to stare at the pair. Unlike some other young students' lack of skills, Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei danced as if they had done this for a long time as they were focused on each other's movements, eyes fixated on each other.
They moved in sync, in time with the music, and Su Xiaofei had no trouble keeping up with Lu Qingfeng's pace as the beat of the rhythm progressed faster. The couple continued to dance, ignoring the other pairs, and maneuvered around the increasing number of occupants on the dance floor.
By this time, they naturally attracted the judges for tonight's Queen Fairy of the Night as well as Ye Mingyu, who had managed to shrug Feng Yumeng out of her hair. She had this confused expression on her face and wondered if this was yet another difference between her and Su Xiaofei.
Because Su Xiaofei was raised as an heiress, it was only natural that Yun Qingrong would try to provide her with the best education she could get, including the etiquette of a proper young miss in the upper circle.
Ye Mingyu gritted her teeth and grasped her billowing skirt tighter. She couldn't see Cai Lin anywhere and no one wanted to accompany her after her confrontation with Su Xiaofei and Feng Yumeng earlier.
Initially, Ye Mingyu wanted to kick Su Xiaofei off the pedestal and make others ignore her with her brilliance. Su Xiaofei was supposed to be a foolish villainess who was harboring hatred towards her.
It should be easy to provoke Su Xiaofei, as she was known for her bad temper, together with Ye Mingyu's? alluring face, it should be easy to annoy Su Xiaofei, but why was she the one getting the shorter end of the stick then?
She was the one who kept losing face, making a fool out of herself. The more she thought about it, the more she hated Su Xiaofei.
Now, Su Xiaofei even wanted to take away the title 'Queen Fairy of the Night' from her?!
