Chapter 221: News Broadcast
On the way back, Hao Anqi was there incessantly complaining about the driver's atrocious behavior.
Don't drink and drive, don't drive and drink.
It would be one thing if he only put himself in danger, but to drag a whole family along with him—what if he caused accidental harm to others?
Hao Anqi hated this kind of drunk driving behavior the most and told Shen Yan not to do it in the future; Shen Yan naturally agreed readily.
Having lived a second life, he cherished life more than anyone else.
Returning to Danqingyuan Residential Complex, Shen Yan happily took a hot shower, but unfortunately, it coincided with Hao Anqi's period.
The two did nothing, just affectionately hugging each other to sleep.
Snuggled in Shen Yan's arms, the room was pitch black, a warm current flowing, and the bright moonlight shone on the head of the bed through the curtains; Hao Anqi only felt a sense of peace in her heart.
She said pitifully that being a girl was truly troublesome; once her period came, it lasted for several days, and her stomach was uncomfortable too.
Shen Yan couldn't experience that feeling, so he placed his hand on her lower abdomen, rubbing it gently, and said, "Watch my move, the Great Universe Shift, transferring the pain to me."
Hao Anqi was immediately amused, "You might as well use another move, Shape-Shifting, so I can experience the fun of being a boy."
If he could, Shen Yan would actually like to be a girl for a day.
The problem was he didn't know how.
The two chatted aimlessly, their topics wild and imaginative, from trivial life matters to life philosophy and prospects for the future, finally returning to the present.
With New Year's Day approaching, Hao Anqi asked Shen Yan what plans he had, whether there were work arrangements or if he was going out to play; Shen Yan said, "How about I take you to Beijing for a tour?"
Hao Anqi widened her eyes; she naturally wanted to go to Beijing, but her cousin was getting married right on New Year's Day, so she had to rush back.
Sob sob sob!
Time passed quietly, the night grew deeper, and the surroundings were as quiet as a pool of water, leaving only the soft voices and occasional laughter of the two.
Unknowingly, drowsiness surged like a tide, her eyelids became incredibly heavy, and listening to the steady and powerful breathing beside her, Hao Anqi raised her hand and traced over those features that were like a sculpture one by one.
"Good night!"
As the words fell, Hao Anqi closed her eyes and entered a sweet dream.
The next day, the square dancing was still in full swing, and the scale was getting larger and larger; looking out, it was a sea of black heads, all people.
With a little observation, one could see that it wasn't just students who came, but also counselors and course instructors.
Everyone was like a beast that had just broken free from a cage, letting themselves go on the playground, their dance moves bizarre and varied, presenting many scenes that made one laugh or cry.
Additionally, there were reporters on-site for interviews.
It was said that in order to fully implement the "National Fitness Program Outline," they were preparing to launch a special report on the introduction of square dancing in universities to accelerate the popularization of square dancing.
At the time, Shen Yan was not on the scene, and when he learned about this from Chen Xiaowei afterward, he was completely bewildered.
Why did it feel like there was a hand behind the scenes pushing this process?
It was just universities introducing square dancing; was there a need for such a big production?
Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it; anyway, it didn't have much to do with him.
The third day, which was December 27th.
At six o'clock in the evening, a news program on Zhe Province Satellite TV suddenly broadcast a video.
It attracted widespread attention.
Not long after, Shen Yan received a call from Shen Nainai, and after learning the ins and outs of the matter, Shen Yan specifically went online to search for the relevant video.
At the beginning of the video, Shen Yan, Hao Anqi, Wu Yueer, and Pan Weisen were seen standing in a row, with hundreds of youthful and vibrant students behind them.
Amidst the cheerful and impassioned music, hundreds of people performed various poses, their whole bodies exuding vigorous vitality.
The most conspicuous among them were the four figures in the front row: one with mesmerizing dance moves, one with casual and free-spirited actions, one with a tall figure and long legs that invited endless imagination, and the last one with a bewitching and charming appearance and a hot, sexy figure.
Any one of them taken out would be an absolutely explosive presence.
In the video, the news anchor specifically pointed out Pan Weisen's identity and intentionally or unintentionally praised Pan Weisen's behavior.
As the president of Hangzhou University, Pan Weisen had no airs; in order to vigorously promote fitness activities for college students, he went deep into the student body and led by example—this kind of behavior was worth everyone learning from.
Without a doubt, after this, Hangzhou University became popular once again.
Along with it, Pan Weisen also became famous.
Although most people couldn't remember the name, when Hangzhou University was mentioned, the public's first reaction was that the school's president was very approachable and had upright character.
Seeing her dear grandson dancing the square dance so well, Shen Nainai laughed from ear to ear, the wrinkles on her face seeming to laugh along, saying that when Shen Yan returned, she would have him lead the dance for those old men and women.
Toward the grandmother who raised him from a young age, Shen Yan was naturally compliant, saying, "Grandma, just you wait; I will definitely perform well when the time comes and make those grandpas and grandmas envy you for having such a good grandson."
"Good, good, good! Then Grandma will be looking forward to your return."
The grandmother and grandson chatted for a while longer.
Hanging up the phone, Shen Nainai, who was at the convenience store, happily pulled over passing neighbors to proclaim that Shen Yan was on TV, that his square dancing was top-notch, and that he even taught the president how to dance.
The neighbors didn't believe it, saying how could that be!
Then several people stood up to testify.
Including the convenience store owner, Li Shen.
Come to think of it, Li Shen was the first to discover this news and tell Shen Nainai.
At the time, she was sitting in the convenience store, eating while paying attention to current news hotspots. For her, running a business, this had long since become a habit.
Operating a convenience store was like establishing a special bond with the neighborhood; to attract customers to shop, providing goods was only the most basic element, and one also needed to possess certain social skills.
Constantly paying attention to social trends so as to find common topics with customers—this kind of interaction was a manifestation of human warmth; when customers felt the sincerity and care of the owner, they would naturally develop a good impression of the shop and be willing to become loyal customers.
When Li Shen saw Shen Yan's familiar face on the TV, she was dumbfounded, her hand unsteady, and her rice bowl fell to the ground.
It wasn't until the news anchor uttered the four words "Hangzhou University."
Now it was completely confirmed.
Li Shen hurriedly called over the neighbors who were chatting at the shop entrance to watch together.
And so, the scene before them came to be.
