Chapter 217: Necklace

The small group gathered together, chattering away about the significance of square dancing.

Before long, Wu Yue'er returned to the scene, looking triumphant, followed by a breathless Yu Youwei.

Without a doubt, Wu Yue'er had won this battle completely.

Next, it was unclear who started it, but the group began to tease each other about their dance moves; Lin Yang said Zhu Baoping's butt was as big as two pomelos, and it looked truly awful when he wiggled it.

Zhu Baoping said Lin Yang's dancing was like a reenactment of Dong Shi, unbearable to look at, and added that Shen Yan danced in a sissy way, not like a real man.

This immediately poked a hornet's nest.

Hao Anqi and the other girls jumped out one after another to accuse him of not knowing how to appreciate things and not to mistake his own ignorance for common sense; after a barrage of criticism, Zhu Baoping felt his head spinning and apologized repeatedly.

Lin Yang almost choked with laughter.

A bumpkin is still a bumpkin!

"Looking at the sky with a bare butt—blind as a bat," Zhu Baoping had certainly played himself into that one.

The topic shifted to Pan Weisen.

Luo Qiqi asked Shen Yan, "Who is that middle-aged uncle dancing so provocatively? He looks a bit familiar."

"That's our principal!" Shen Yan said straightforwardly.

"So it's the principal!"

"What the hell? The... the principal?"

Luo Qiqi didn't react at first, but then her eyes widened like crystal balls, her face filled with disbelief.

The reactions of the others were exactly the same.

None of them had expected that the middle-aged man with the enchanting dance moves would be the principal.

In their imagination, a university principal should be steady and serious, capable of maintaining a straight face even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

However, that enchanting and mesmerizing figure completely overturned the inherent image they held in their minds.

Tang Song gave Shen Yan a thumbs up, "Old Shen, you are truly awesome!"

"Hahaha! Just thinking about it feels incredible; if this gets out, I can brag about it for a lifetime. After all, we are the people who taught the principal how to square dance."

The group chuckled.

The world is vast and full of wonders; there is nothing you cannot imagine, only things that are impossible to happen.

They would never forget this experience for the rest of their lives.

Lin Yang was more curious about the move Shen Yan made when he fell and got back up; it was so smooth and fluid that it looked like he had fallen on purpose just to show off.

Seeing that everyone was so interested, Shen Yan explained, "That was the use of a dance technique, combined with some knowledge of mechanics. The move is actually not difficult; first, support yourself with both hands, use your knees as a pivot, and extend your back leg high..."

Although the group didn't quite understand, they felt it was impressive nonetheless.

Anyway, it was enough that Shen Yan was awesome.

At this moment, Chen Shanni suddenly noticed a silver necklace peeking out from the collar of Wu Yue'er's sweater and asked curiously, "Yue'er, when did you buy a necklace? I don't think I've seen you wear it before."

"I just bought it yesterday, what do you think?" Wu Yue'er touched the compass on the necklace, the corners of her mouth curling into a beautiful arc involuntarily.

Chen Shanni nodded gently; the necklace was indeed very pretty, but she was just curious why Wu Yue'er chose a compass. Wu Yue'er's smile grew even brighter, and she said meaningfully, "That's because someone once said that a compass suits someone like me who can't tell left from right."

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's scalp tightened, and his little heart began to beat rapidly and uncontrollably.

"Ooh!"

Upon hearing this, the group started jeering, and Luo Qiqi asked, "Who is this 'someone,' Yue'er? Don't tell me you're secretly dating someone?"

Lin Yang looked at Wu Yue'er with a nervous expression, his fists clenched tight, emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds.

Yet, amidst the passionate and cheerful music, such sounds were like a single grain of sand in the vast ocean—so small, so helpless.

Wu Yue'er knew she couldn't go too far, otherwise, the next time they met, Shen Yan would definitely strip her pants off and give her a "bamboo shoots fried in meat" beating first.

And the merciless kind at that.

That feeling... just thinking about it made one shudder.

"Dating? Dogs wouldn't even date; men are all trash," Wu Yue'er said with a look of disdain.

"Ahem!" The person involved coughed twice.

He felt offended.

Lin Yang quietly breathed a sigh of relief; this was the Wu Yue'er he knew.

Fiery and straightforward!

Hearing this, Yu Youwei raised her delicate eyebrows and said pointedly, "Since you think men are all trash, why are you so close with Shen Yan?"

Speaking of this, Yu Youwei only felt sour in her heart, as if it had been soaked in vinegar. Before entering university, she was Shen Yan's only good friend, and their relationship was inseparable; Shen Yan would think of her first whenever anything happened.

But now, not only had Hao Anqi appeared, but she felt that in Shen Yan's heart, even Wu Yue'er was more important than her.

This made Yu Youwei very uncomfortable!

So she deliberately tried to stir up trouble for Wu Yue'er in front of Hao Anqi.

Who knew that Hao Anqi would act like nothing happened, still smiling silently upon hearing this, which made Yu Youwei so angry her chest ached.

How could she be so thick-skinned!

Wu Yue'er was rough but observant; she immediately sensed Yu Youwei's little scheme. While secretly sighing at Yu Youwei's childishness, she said with a grin, "Shen Yan is my sister; of course, it's different from ordinary people."

Shen Yan couldn't turn a deaf ear to this.

"Who's your sister? I'm a real man, okay? And didn't you just say you wanted to be my second girlfriend and help me play matchmaker? How come you're turning your back on your words now?"

"Hehe! A woman's mouth is a deceiving ghost." Shen Yan looked at Wu Yue'er, feigning anger.

Hao Anqi reached out and patted Shen Yan's leg, chiding him for talking nonsense; she was a woman too, wasn't she? Shen Yan grabbed that little hand and kneaded it gently.

It was delicate, smooth, and soft as if it had no bones!

Wu Yue'er glared at Shen Yan and provoked him, "You dare to think it? I'm sitting right here, and I won't resist at all. If you have the guts, come over and kiss me."

There was no way to respond to that.

Play is play, and joking is joking; with so many people around, Shen Yan dared not take it seriously, so he could only retort that Wu Yue'er was a female hooligan who was destined to never get married.

"Look at how pathetic you are!" Wu Yue'er raised her middle finger at Shen Yan.

The provocation was maxed out.

The others shook their heads and chuckled, while Zhu Baoping egged him on: "Old Shen, you can actually tolerate being looked down upon like that?"

"Go for it!"

"If you're so capable, you go, instead of just running your mouth," Shen Yan rolled his eyes at him.

Zhu Baoping would have liked to go, but the little chili pepper's deterrent power was too great; if he dared to make a move, the little chili pepper would likely scold him until he was like a grandson, leaving him unable to step down on the spot.

He did not doubt this at all!

After all, Wu Yue'er's eloquence was plain for all to see.
