’Hey, don’t push me in here too! I just want to watch quietly from the sidelines and spam "666," I don’t want to get involved myself!’ Shen Yibin wanted to cry but had no tears. He figured Hah’Er was just copying what he had done a moment ago when he pushed Sakai Kaori into the group. ’This is karma! Nope, I’ve got to get out of here. This is just too embarrassing.’

"Yo, Bin, you’re here to dance today too?" But it was too late. Mrs. Wang had already grabbed him. "It’s good for young people to get more exercise. Every time I go to your shop, I just see you sprawled on the sofa. That’s no good. Come dance with us after work every day. You’ll not only get some exercise but also meet some new friends."

’Meeting new friends? I think I’ll pass. I’m into cute girls, you know? If it were your daughters, maybe that’d be a different story. Besides, I already go to the park to exercise every morning! My body is in great shape now—I wake up pitching a tent every morning.’

"Mmph!" Before Shen Yibin could explain, Hah’Er started bouncing around on the side, imitating Egg. It wasn’t content just dancing by itself; it grabbed Shen Yibin’s hand, insisting he play along.

’Dude, how can you screw over your teammate like that? If you played League of Legends, people would hunt you down in real life and beat you to death!’ Shen Yibin wanted to cry but had no tears. With Mrs. Wang holding one of his hands and Hah’Er holding the other, he couldn’t run even if he wanted to.

Besides, he couldn’t get angry. He didn’t have the heart to get mad at Hah’Er, and he didn’t dare get mad at Mrs. Wang. Although the contract was signed, Mrs. Wang hadn’t moved out yet. If he made her unhappy and she delayed moving out by a few days, it would be a financial loss for him.

And so, Shen Yibin had no choice but to stiffly lift his legs and wave his arms, starting to dance along with the huge group of aunties. He quickly became the center of attention for all the onlookers. It couldn’t be helped. After all, he was the only man there, and on top of that, he was dancing so horribly.

"What’s with this young fellow? Not many young people are into this sort of thing these days, are they?" The idle onlookers started to gossip.

"I bet he’s here to suck up to his mother-in-law. Sigh, it’s not easy for young people to find a wife these days. Not only do you have to buy a car and a house, but you also have to butter up the mother-in-law. It’s not like back in our day when it was so easy. All you needed was a washbasin to bring a wife home," someone speculated.

’Damn it, I’m still single! What mother-in-law? And besides, Mrs. Wang’s daughter got married a long time ago, okay?’ The gossip from the crowd reached Shen Yibin’s ears, making him want to cry but have no tears. He could only shift his focus to Sakai Kaori, trying to distract himself.

As expected of someone trained in dance and martial arts, Sakai Kaori was worlds better than Shen Yibin at learning these dance moves. After just one or two songs, she already looked quite proficient. She was much better than the aunties, whose arms and legs were already a bit stiff.

"This young lady dances pretty well! Come on, come on, get to the front and lead the dance with Xiaowei for us." Seeing this, the fruit and vegetable shop owner’s wife quickly pushed Sakai Kaori to the front to stand with Sylvie. Yes, Sylvie’s name was a bit of a mouthful for them, so they shortened it to Xiaowei.

The moment her name was changed, Sylvie was instantly transformed from a noble foreign princess into a country bumpkin. Hearing this, Shen Yibin nearly choked on his own saliva and broke into a fit of coughing.

"Miss Sakai, you learn so fast!" Sylvie was extremely enthusiastic about this activity. It’s just that she usually danced with the aunties, so now that a young partner had finally shown up, she was naturally delighted. She eagerly pulled Sakai Kaori to the very front.

Hmm? Egg, who was on the stage, also saw Sakai Kaori. It was a little surprised. ’Why is this girl here too?’ But as the next song began to play, Egg tossed this minor issue aside and started dancing again.

’I’ve danced in front of this many people before, but that was always during ceremonies at the Shrine. A situation like this still feels a bit awkward!’ Like Shen Yibin, Sakai Kaori was still a little shy.

’But it seems Lord Raccoon Cat’s attitude toward me has softened?’ Sakai Kaori was overjoyed to discover that this time, Egg had actually given her a rare nod, as if encouraging her dancing. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

’The shopkeeper’s method really seems to be working!’ Seeing her chance to finally get closer to Egg, Sakai Kaori instantly forgot her shyness and eagerly started dancing, following Egg’s moves.

Egg’s dance moves were very exaggerated. One moment it was slapping its belly, the next it was twisting its waist and shaking its butt, then it was putting its hands on its hips and waving its arms. It was completely different from the street dancing and other styles popular with young girls. Sylvie and Sakai Kaori’s imitations were hilarious to watch. After watching for a moment, Shen Yibin was laughing so hard he couldn’t stand up straight.

’Sure enough, with a viral song like this and Egg leading the dance, anyone who joins in will turn into a total dork. Shit, what’s wrong with my arm? Why isn’t it listening to me? Help, I don’t want to dance with Egg!’ Shen Yibin was so busy making fun of others that he failed to notice he himself couldn’t help but start dancing to the rhythm.

"GAK?!" Seeing Sakai Kaori’s dancing become more and more proficient, Egg seemed to get extra excited and couldn’t help but speed up the tempo. Now, aside from the two young women, Sylvie and Sakai Kaori, the other aunties in the crowd couldn’t keep up.

"Alright, let’s take a break, a short break. Let’s just watch them perform for this song." After dancing for so long, Mrs. Wang and the others were tired, so they took the opportunity to rest. Shen Yibin was also able to escape the den of demons and quickly ran to the side to watch.

Things were about to get lively. To the addictive rhythm of "Dala Bengba," Egg busted out some difficult moves, doing the splits and somersaults one after another, finally having its fill of fun.

Both Sakai Kaori and Sylvie had received martial arts training, so their flexibility and agility were far better than the average person’s. After getting past their initial awkwardness, they quickly caught up to Egg’s rhythm, effortlessly performing difficult moves like the splits and flips, drawing waves of cheers from the crowd.

"Awesome! Do another one!" More and more people gathered around. It wasn’t every day you could see two beautiful young women performing such a sensational dance. Even Shen Yibin took out his phone and started recording nonstop.

"Huh?" Hah’Er was a bit stunned. It scratched its head in frustration. ’These moves seem a little too hard for me.’ But it wasn’t willing to stop. It clumsily tried to copy Egg and do a somersault. It leaped up with all its might, and then—DUANG!—it knocked Shen Yibin flat on his back.

’Dude, they can jump that high, but did your jump even clear ten centimeters? Some things can’t be learned just because you want to!’ Shen Yibin rubbed his aching tailbone, tears welling up in his eyes.
