Love You Till the End-Chapter 973 - 972: Seeking True Love
"It’s okay, if there’s nothing else after the dance, you can come find me again. I’ll be here waiting for you." He waved to her, politely bidding farewell.
"Alright."
Su Jiuyi lifted her dress and left the guest cabin, running toward the dance floor. From afar, she could hear the melodious and lingering music coming from the dance floor. The collaboration between the cellist and saxophonist was seamless, performing wonderful music piece after piece. The men and women on the dance floor gracefully danced to the accompaniment, occasionally tiptoeing, occasionally twirling.
She ran over, panting. Shi Aoju was looking at his watch with his arms crossed, wearing a white mask. Although she couldn’t see his expression, she knew that he, who usually disliked waiting for others, was surely upset.
"I’m sorry I arrived late." She continued to gasp for breath.
Shi Aoju fixed his gaze on her. It was evident that she rushed over. Sweat was slightly seeping from her head, and her hair was tousled by the wind. He furrowed his brow and raised his hand to simply help her tidy it.
Su Jiuyi was bewildered by his sudden intimate gesture, standing there dumbfounded, allowing his large hand to "do as it pleased" on her hair.
"Let’s go." After tidying up, he extended his hand, indicating for Su Jiuyi to place hers on top.
There were many masked people dancing in the dance floor; the two joined them. Su Jiuyi placed her hand on his shoulder, and Shi Aoju held her waist.
Su Jiuyi whispered, "If I accidentally step on your foot, will you dock my pay?"
Such a boring question.
Shi Aoju raised an eyebrow, "Follow my steps closely."
Step forward, another step, backward, twirl.
Su Jiuyi focused on her toes, staggering to keep up with Shi Aoju’s steps, afraid she would step on his foot.
"Lift your face and look into my eyes," Shi Aoju’s cold voice was as noble as his appearance, "Don’t be afraid."
Those words seemed to have a magical power. Su Jiuyi raised her head, earnestly looking at him. From his intense gaze, she saw the nervous expression in her eyes gradually disappear, replaced by sheer determination.
The dance ended, and she was surprised that she didn’t step on his foot.
"Isn’t that great? Seems like the video cramming yesterday paid off." He calmly praised.
To be praised by Shi Aoju was not easy at all. It took Su Jiuyi a few seconds to react.
She didn’t have time to speak before the host on the stage interrupted.
"Now, we ask the male and female guests to stand on opposite sides. After standing properly, our staff will turn off all the lights at the banquet. Conveniently, the moon is also covered by clouds tonight. Guests from both sides will walk forward and find their dance partner. Legend has it that if you can find your dance partner in complete darkness, the other person is likely your true love!"
Su Jiuyi frowned. What kind of legend is this? Such a cliché storyline could only be found in idol dramas.
Shi Aoju was unsurprisingly disdainful, "Who arranged this event?"
"Didn’t you review the event flow beforehand?" Judging by his expression, he seemed unaware of this.
"No," he spoke indifferently, then glanced at Su Jiuyi. "Just don’t fall down. I don’t expect you to find me."
To find true love, it’s impossible to find him.
Although Su Jiuyi felt this way, she really hoped she could grab Shi Aoju’s hand.
