[Comprehensive] The correct way to use the semi-cold and semi-flammable personality
Chapter 34 The Regency Dance
Hong Jiaodong was a little dizzy, maybe it was because the sun was too dazzling.He rubbed his forehead.
"You... what did you say?"
The title of Nanase suddenly returned to the original honorific title.Having said this, Hong Jiaodong wished he could beat himself to death.
It was so hard to meet again, why did he screw it up!
Nanase twitched the corners of her mouth, Hong Jiaodong always felt that her smile was very stiff.He knew that what he said just now made her sad, so he lowered his head obediently, wishing Nanase could scold him.
However, Nanase didn't say anything, just repeated the words, and specially slowed down the speed of speaking. Every word was pronounced with a correct accent. At first glance, it was like a primary school student reciting a text.
"So, are you free next Saturday?"
Nanase seems to have a relaxed face, but in fact, the fingers behind her back have long been entangled into a mess, and her eyes are unconsciously squinting randomly. If Hong Jiaodong can be more careful, he will be able to spot the flaws on Nanase's body. These little clues.
"Should be free...well, free." Hong Jiao Dong really had nothing to do that day.
Nanase breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, all the worries in her heart disappeared without a trace, and her brows and eyes were radiant.
"Then it's done, you will be my dance partner. Come to pick me up at my house at six o'clock next Saturday night... Oh, I remembered, you can't drive. Then meet at the school gate!"
Nanase seemed a little more excited than usual, and Hong Jiaodong guessed that it must be because she had been imprisoned by study for too long, and it was a rare opportunity to enjoy it.
Obviously, he didn't attribute Nanase's mood to himself at all.
He clenched the shoulder strap of his schoolbag tightly and nodded solemnly: "I understand, I won't be late!"
The serious look of Hong Jiaodong made Nanase couldn't help laughing.
"The dance will end at about ten o'clock in the evening. Remember to tell your family members not to worry them." Nanase's voice was soft, and seemed to be half a bit gentler than in memory. "There will be a Regency dance at the dance. Guess you probably won't. But don't worry, the school will have a regent dance practice course the day after tomorrow, if you have time, come and learn together."
"Ok!"
Coincidentally, the day after tomorrow is also free - but even if there is something, as long as it is harmless, he will definitely find a way to push it away.
After saying goodbye to Nanase, the pinnae of the ears suddenly became very hot, and the fingertips felt slightly numb. I don't know if it was due to excitement.He unconsciously fantasized about prom scenes.With lights, champagne and music, skirts flying and hilarity, it's sure to be a lot of fun.
He was already looking forward to it.
However, under the surging mood, there is an undercurrent called fear. He is worried that he will make a fool of himself. After all, this is the first time he is someone else's dance partner, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to do it.
After two days of anxiety with complicated thoughts, it finally came to the regent dance practice day.He woke up extraordinarily early, for which Andwar suspected that he was sick.
Hong Jiaodong thought, maybe he was really sick, but it was just some inexplicable intractable disease.
He drank a large bowl of miso soup in one gulp, forgot to say goodbye to his family, and hurried to school.But he came too early, not to mention Nanase, even the sparrow hadn't come yet.He kicked stones at the school gate boredly for half an hour before waiting for Nanase's arrival.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Nanase handed over a toffee, "Do you want to eat?"
"Yeah." He took the toffee, and realized something was wrong after responding. He hurriedly shook his head and denied, "No, I didn't wait long, and I just arrived."
He almost stuttered.
"Well, then let's go in, it is estimated that it will start soon."
They headed to the dance room, there were a lot of third-years, but luckily it wasn't too crowded.A tall boy whom Hong Jiaodong had never seen before greeted Nanase with a smile, showing quite neat white teeth.His eyes fell on Hong Jiaodong in the next second, and he looked at it with great interest.
"This is your dance partner." He laughed a few times, "I didn't expect you to reject my invitation, just because of this first-year boy?"
Nanase responded with a smile: "He is very cute."
Hong Jiaodong was a little confused, but before he could figure it out, the teacher came.
The teacher who taught the regent dance surprised Hong Jiaodong a little-it was midnight.He had always felt that Midnight's style was not very suitable for a classical court dance like the Regency Dance, but when she danced, it actually looked like this.
Regency dance is not a very complicated dance. During the midnight teaching, a few more difficult movements were specially deleted, and the rest is the overlapping of repetitive movements. The difficulty can be said to be quite low.When watching the Midnight demo, Hong Jiao Dong felt confident that he would be able to reproduce her movements perfectly, but who knew he would put them into practice, but his limbs became extremely stiff, and he forgot the next one after one move , The memory gradually moved closer to the goldfish.
There was a part in the middle where he needed to change his partner. This part of the dance was quite passable, but when he switched back to his partner, he returned to his stiff look, at a loss and extremely embarrassed, and he didn’t even dare to put his hands on it. Nanase's waist was only vaguely fixed in mid-air, if he accidentally touched it, he couldn't help but blush, and then apologized repeatedly, making it very hard for Nanase to hold back her laughter.
His gentlemanly hand was quickly spotted by Midnight.
"Student Hong, thank you for being a gentleman, but please don't think of dancing as something pornographic. Put your hands up! Respect your dance partner!"
Midnight said viciously, almost giving him a whip.
Hong Jiaodong bit the bullet and put his hand on it.
He felt an unprecedented sense of frustration, and over time, he even felt a little inferior, especially at midnight when he asked them to stare at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of him to observe the shortcomings of his actions, which made Hong Jiaodong feel ashamed.
For him, staring in the mirror was a public execution.
It is true that he knew that he was not good at dancing, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. If it was still like this, he might embarrass Nanase.On the other hand, Nanase, she danced very well from the beginning.Standing together, the two of them are completely the typical gap between an excellent student and an inferior student.
Hong Jiaodong doesn't know what happened to him...
The only thing to be thankful for is probably that he hasn't stepped on Nanase's feet yet.Otherwise, he would really feel ashamed.
"Don't be nervous, Jiao Dong. Take your time, it's still a long time before the prom." Nanase saw his anxiety, and comforted her, "And I'll teach you too."
Hong Jiaodong let out a long sigh of relief and nodded vigorously: "No problem."
After two seconds, he realized that Nanase's name for him seemed to have changed.
Under the three hours of Regency dance teaching at midnight, Hong Jiaodong can tentatively memorize all the dance moves at the prom.But the dancing posture didn't improve at all.Midnight even said that the elementary school students danced half a point better than him.
Hong Jiaodong didn't know what to do.
The graduation prom is approaching day by day, and the nervousness of Hong is rising exponentially.It is no exaggeration to say that he is much more nervous than those third-year students.
Sure enough, he still didn't want to embarrass Nanase, and he was also afraid of being seen by her in a stiff dancing posture.
This thought made Hong Jiaodong decide to stand up.He stood up abruptly, pushed aside the tatami mats and cushions, dragged the bed to the bottom of the wall, and tried to organize a small space.Before the prom, he wanted to practice again.
He closed his eyes, raised his right hand, and imagined that Nanase was standing in front of him at the moment, while playing the bgm in his mind, trying to put himself in the dance situation.
The tension seems to have eased a little.
After the song was over, he stopped.Opening his eyes, he found that his second brother Hong Xia Xiong was outside the door, half of the bananas in his hand were oxidized, God knows how long he had been at the door.
The four eyes met, which was very embarrassing.
"Jiao Dong, what are you doing?" Xia Xiong looked around the room.
Hong Jiaodong stood up straight, stiffly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and replied in the same stiff tone: "I didn't do anything."
"Hey... I just saw you dancing." Xia Xiong put on a malicious smile, "Why, are you interested in this?"
Hong anxiously caressed his neck, stopped talking, and muttered in a low voice: "Well... just... just jump around..."
"It's a pretty good dance."
Hong Jiaodong didn't know whether Xia Xiong's words were purely polite compliments or the truth from the heart.He responded casually, not taking the words to heart.
Xia Xiong took a bite of a banana and was about to leave, but Hong Jiaodong suddenly stopped him.
"Brother Xia Xiong, when you graduated from high school, did you hold any big events like the prom?"
Hong Xia Xiong rubbed his chin in thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No. But there was a dance in the university, it was quite grand, quite interesting."
Xia Xiong said, and naturally sat down beside his bed.
"Then... did you invite the girl you like to participate?" Hong Jiaodong asked cautiously.
This question has been tormenting him for some time.He really wanted to know why Nanase invited him to be her dance partner. It was clear that he was only a first-year student, and there were so many people to choose from, and there were even handsome boys who invited her, but she pulled down her face and invited herself. Why? what?The answer he could think of was liking, but he was afraid to think of it.
He didn't dare to ask Nanase, so he had to ask Xia Xiong, let's just save himself.
"That's not true. Jiao Dong, you have to know that inviting someone to be a dance partner does not mean that you like it."
Xia Xiong's words made Hong Jiaodong's enthusiasm cool down by half.
"At that time, I didn't have a girl I liked, but I really wanted to go to the dance party to join in the fun, so I invited a relatively withdrawn girl in the class, thinking that she could be a little more active. But she thought I liked her, and there was He was very warm to me for a while, which made me feel very embarrassed."
Hong Jiaodong's mood sank to the bottom, his head was dizzy, and Xia Xiong couldn't listen to what he said.
"So, inviting to be a dance partner is not a way to express your affection, right?" His voice was extremely dry, "It may also be because we can't find anyone..."
Xia Xiong nodded: "That's correct. But..."
Hong Jiaodong sighed again and again, and before Xia Xiong finished speaking, he walked out of the room dejectedly, deciding to borrow wine—ah no, it was milk—to relieve his worries.
But no matter how sad he was, he would still go to the ball.Because he wanted to go, wanted to go with Nanase.
As soon as Hong Jiaodong left, Xia Xiong was left alone in the room.Sitting alone, Xia Xiong was a little confused, and couldn't figure out how his words made Hong Jiaodong become like this.He really couldn't figure out what his little brother was thinking.
He just wanted to tell his baby brother that now that withdrawn girl in the same class has become his girlfriend.
"You... what did you say?"
The title of Nanase suddenly returned to the original honorific title.Having said this, Hong Jiaodong wished he could beat himself to death.
It was so hard to meet again, why did he screw it up!
Nanase twitched the corners of her mouth, Hong Jiaodong always felt that her smile was very stiff.He knew that what he said just now made her sad, so he lowered his head obediently, wishing Nanase could scold him.
