Chapter 216: Relaxing Body and Mind

On the noisy and bustling playground, hundreds of young people were dancing and singing along to high-energy music; many spectators stood at the front of the crowd, their eyes burning with intensity, their legs dancing involuntarily, looking as if they were eager to give it a try.

There was also a group of people holding phones to record videos.

They were preparing to share this grand spectacle at school with their friends, family, and elders at home.

"Holy crap!"

Having had his fill of dancing, Shen Yan picked up his down jacket from the ground, preparing to go to the side to rest for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yue'er suddenly twisted her body and kicked backward.

The sudden kick caught Shen Yan squarely, causing his body to tilt forward involuntarily.

He fell face-first.

Although he managed to catch himself on the ground in time to avoid too much embarrassment, his disheveled appearance still made people unable to help but chuckle.

The people around covered their mouths and snickered; the dashing Brother Rice Noodle actually had a moment of clumsiness.

Wu Yue'er was stunned and just about to go help him up.

However, the next second, they saw Shen Yan push off the ground with his hands, using his left knee as a pivot, straightening and raising his back leg, and then pushing upward with his hands, presenting a smooth and fluid rise to his feet.

The people around rubbed their eyes, all wearing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Damn! Did you guys see how Brother Rice Noodle got up?"

"My eyes are blinded!"

"I watched it with my asshole."

"My god! Brother Rice Noodle is so cool!"

"Who recorded the video? Please share it!"

They had never seen a Scorpion Rise before; after falling, he used a clever move that not only eased the awkwardness but also displayed his extraordinary skill and technique.

Visually, it gave people the impression that it was done on purpose.

Tsk tsk! Shen Yan really nailed that show-off moment.

A brilliant light flickered in Wu Yue'er's eyes as she grabbed Shen Yan's arm and asked, "Old... Shen Yan, how did you do that move just now? Logically speaking, there was no point of leverage; you shouldn't have been able to get up just by pushing with your hands."

In her excitement, she had almost habitually called him "hubby."

Shen Yan raised his hand to touch his nose, calmly breaking free from the intimate gesture, and said it was too complicated to explain in a few words, intending to brush it off.

Wu Yue'er pouted unhappily.

What is this! Clearly, this morning he was still being lovey-dovey with her, calling her "little cutie" and "little baby."

Now that his official girlfriend was present, he was acting like a righteous gentleman.

Dog of a man!

Hao Anqi didn't pay attention to this detail, just equally curious about how Shen Yan had managed it.

As the square dance group continued to grow, one expert after another emerged; they were skilled and experienced, and any one of them could have taken the lead dancer's position.

With others taking over the post, the three of them were naturally happy to be idle.

So they ran to the lawn nearby to sit and rest.

Among the onlookers, there was no shortage of Shen Yan's little fan girls; seeing this, their eyes lit up, and they crowded around to ask all sorts of questions.

Some even wanted an autograph.

"Brother Rice Noodle, you dance so well, can you teach me?"

"Can you give me an autograph?"

"Brother Rice Noodle, is this your girlfriend?"

"I thought you and Wu Yue'er were a couple; I'm a fan of your CP."

"Sob sob sob! Me too!"

On the day of the Welcome Gala, Shen Yan and Wu Yue'er had rocked the whole venue with a hot, spicy dance; the exclamations from the crowd were constant, and everyone was very optimistic about this CP.

Now hearing Shen Yan's affirmative answer, the girls couldn't hide their disappointment. However, to be fair, Hao Anqi was charming and moving, not losing to Wu Yue'er at all, and was more than enough to match the male god.

It was just a pity for such a screen CP.

Hearing these words, Shen Yan looked at Hao Anqi; she was smiling brightly the whole time, as if she had a heart as vast as the ocean, and in fact, that was the case—Hao Anqi was an optimist who always looked at things from a positive perspective and was very tolerant of everything around her.

But all of this was based on the premise that her bottom line hadn't been touched; the reason Hao Anqi was so calm and composed now was simply because she believed Shen Yan and Wu Yue'er were innocent.

If a scandal were to break one day, no one knew what she would do.

Looking at Wu Yue'er beside her, her expression was as still as an ancient well, her peach-blossom eyes deep as the sea, making it impossible to guess her true thoughts.

At this very moment, Shen Yan suddenly wanted to test the edge of courting death, so he draped his arms over the shoulders of Hao Anqi and Wu Yue'er, one on each side, and said in a half-joking tone, "Who says you can only have one girlfriend? This is girlfriend number one, this is girlfriend number two, and there will be number three and number four in the future."

The girls' faces turned slightly red, and they spat lightly, calling Shen Yan a scumbag.

"You're asking for death! Look at what kind of occasion this is." Hao Anqi gave him a big eye-roll.

Wu Yue'er, on the other hand, said sweetly, "Then do you need girlfriend number two to help you play matchmaker? I can let Youwei be your mistress, Shanni the fourth, and Qiqi the fifth."

"Wu Yue'er!"

Just then, a roar suddenly came from the front.

They saw Yu Youwei running over aggressively, cursing, "I'll let you talk nonsense! I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"

Behind Yu Youwei followed a group of people; Chen Shanni's pretty face was slightly flushed, and Luo Qiqi shook her head and sighed.

The others couldn't help but laugh.

This Wu Yue'er really would joke about anything.

Seeing this, Wu Yue'er stuck out her tongue cutely and then took off running; Yu Youwei chased closely behind, clamoring that if she had the ability, she shouldn't run, and to see how she would deal with her.

"Nyah nyah nyah! If you have the ability, come and catch me! If you catch me, I'll let you hehehe."

When it came to running, Wu Yue'er wasn't afraid at all; she kept looking back to taunt her while running, making Yu Youwei scream in anger, yet she couldn't catch Wu Yue'er.

It was just so infuriating!

Seeing this, the others laughed until they were doubled over.

Lin Yang said, "Old Shen, don't make jokes like that next time; what if your girlfriend gets angry?"

"It's not like everyone is the same as Youwei; An Qi has a great personality." Shen Yan didn't care at all.

Being praised like this in public by her young boyfriend, Hao Anqi was naturally overjoyed, her eyes curving into crescents as she gently rested her head on Shen Yan's shoulder, as obedient as a little lamb.

This scene made everyone envious; Hao Anqi really did have a good personality, and she was beautiful with a hot figure, so it was no wonder Shen Yan chose Hao Anqi over Yu Youwei.

They really weren't on the same level!

With nothing better to do, the group sat on the lawn chatting without a care, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Tang Song said that today's dance was exhilarating and that he felt his whole body had relaxed.

The others nodded in agreement.

During high school, teachers would always earnestly nag, "Grin and bear it, just hold on a little longer; once you get to university, you'll be free and easy!"

This sentence had become their spiritual medicine, supporting them through one grueling night after another.

However, only after truly stepping through the university gates did they realize it was all nonsense; the burden of their studies had not lightened, but had instead become even heavier due to the in-depth study of their major courses.

The expansion of their social circles brought more interpersonal relationship problems, and the confusion about the future made people anxious and uneasy...

The older one gets, the more worries one has; over time, the negative emotions accumulated in the heart cannot be effectively released or resolved.

And today's lively square dance was undoubtedly an excellent outlet; that unconstrained atmosphere allowed everyone to put down their burdens, express their true selves, and thereby relieve stress and regain confidence and passion for life.

It was truly relaxing!
