Chapter 86: Square Dance

On the other side, Hao Anqi was holding Shen Yan's arm, her eyes curved into crescents, laughing incessantly.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

"Shuai Yan, how are you so bold? You even dare to tease the counselor."

Having met him twice, Hao Anqi was not unfamiliar with Huang Shuren.

Shen Yan didn't care at all, "So what if he's a counselor? He's only a few years older than us. We all have one nose and two eyes; just treat him like an ordinary person."

"That's true!"

Since starting school, Hao Anqi had deeply realized the vast difference between university teachers and those in primary or secondary school; no one followed you around to urge you to study anymore, and the kind of university life you wanted depended entirely on your own will.

Hao Anqi added, "Shuai Yan, you were so funny just now, actually going to hook your fingers into the counselor's palm, creating the illusion that the girl was taking the initiative to express her feelings."

"Do you know how excited I was when the two of you held hands!"

Shen Yan said there was no help for it; Huang Shuren was just too timid, dawdling for ages just to hold a little hand, which was frustrating to watch.

If he didn't give him a push, who knew when it would ever happen.

Hao Anqi agreed deeply; she herself, a girl, had been thick-skinned enough to chase after Shen Yan, yet Huang Shuren, a grown man, was acting so timid—it really was quite unseemly.

After wandering around, the two drove to prepare to return to campus.

After several urgings, Hao Anqi finally seized the opportunity today and demanded that Shen Yan accompany her to record a dance video.

However, while passing a large supermarket, Hao Anqi suddenly stopped the electric scooter, staring with great interest at a group of young people dancing square dance not far away, among whom were a few middle-aged faces mixed in.

The sound system was playing a high-energy song, "Love" by the Little Tigers.

No wonder there weren't many middle-aged or elderly people.

Plans couldn't keep up with changes.

"Shuai Yan, shall we go and dance with them?" Hao Anqi suddenly said.

Shen Yan said he didn't mind; he had never tried square dancing before, and with so many people together, the atmosphere was even more hyped.

So the two parked the scooter and headed straight to the side of the crowd to join the line.

"Take your heart, my heart, string them together, string them into a lucky clover..."

Waving hands, stepping, chest expansion, crossing swings, turning left and right...

At first, Shen Yan didn't understand anything and just followed Hao Anqi, moving stiffly, but fortunately, his memory was astonishing; by the second time, he was already moving in a decent manner, showing full confidence and enthusiasm.

Coupled with his extraordinary physical coordination, every dance step and every turn was full of unique rhythm and cadence, making one feel the pulse of life.

Many people frequently cast glances at Shen Yan and Hao Anqi, amazed by the good looks of this young couple, and even more astonished by the standard of their movements.

Hao Anqi watched from the side with stars in her eyes, exclaiming, "Shuai Yan, it's such a pity you don't study dance; you dance really well."

Shen Yan laughed; as long as he wanted to, he could achieve a certain level of success in any field, it was just a matter of whether he was willing or not.

Next was a more hyped song, "Rhythm in the Wind."

As soon as the prelude began, before the melody had even played, the group of young people seemed to have been cast under a spell, involuntarily twisting and turning at will.

Hao Anqi wanted to record a video of the two of them dancing, so she handed the camera to a bystander uncle and asked him to help film it.

"The rhythm in the wind, just like your tenderness..."

Waving hands, clenching fists, swaying hips—accompanied by the cheerful rhythm, Shen Yan and Hao Anqi's bodies tilted left and right, every movement fluid and natural, their neat steps perfectly blending with the music.

Just like that, with a few songs on repeat, the group of young people danced over and over again, as if they didn't know what fatigue was.

Some people even secretly took out their phones and aimed them at Shen Yan and Hao Anqi; one tall and handsome in a white shirt and jeans, the other alluring and beautiful in a knit sweater and pleated skirt, her calves wrapped in socks, revealing fair, beautiful legs, her chest undulating with every gesture, occasionally bending over to outline an S-curve, attracting who knows how many gazes from men and women alike.

A few bold ones, completely ignoring that the other had a partner, came up to ask for Shen Yan and Hao Anqi's contact information, but were rejected on the spot.

At this moment, two vibrant young girls rode their bicycles, fluttering toward the supermarket like light butterflies; the impassioned music was like surging waves, instantly attracting their attention.

"Huh! Shanni, look, isn't that Shen Yan?"

Wu Yue'er immediately spotted the most conspicuous Shen Yan duo at the edge of the crowd with her sharp eyes, and was instantly astonished.

Following her finger, Chen Shanni also noticed the two of them.

The dance moves were so hypnotic and cheerful; she hadn't expected Shen Yan to have such a hidden talent.

"Let's go over and say hello," Wu Yue'er suggested.

Chen Shanni hesitated, "Is that okay? They're on a date."

Wu Yue'er said what was wrong with that; square dancing didn't count as a date. Someone with a personality like Shanni's must have never square danced before; let's go try it, after dancing, one becomes more cheerful.

Although she was timid inside, Chen Shanni did have the intention to improve her personality, and besides, there were so many young people on the field, surely no one would notice her; trying it wouldn't do any harm.

So the two girls locked their bicycles and walked together toward the direction where Shen Yan was.

"Shen Yan!"

Hearing someone call his name, Shen Yan, who was letting himself go, paused his movements and turned his head to find it was Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er.

Looking at the shopping bags in their hands, he understood instantly.

"What a coincidence! You guys came here shopping."

Wu Yue'er blinked and said, "I saw a handsome guy with hypnotic dance moves from far away; I didn't realize you had such a trick up your sleeve."

Shen Yan laughed and said he was just playing around. Hao Anqi also stopped her movements and stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically, "Hello! What a coincidence to run into you again."

When her gaze swept over Chen Shanni, Hao Anqi couldn't help but be stunned; what a plump and lovely girl. Chen Shanni's beauty was not just on the surface, but an elegance and temperament from within, like a magnolia in a courtyard.

Why did beautiful women around her little boyfriend always emerge one after another?

To be honest, Wu Yue'er's feelings toward Hao Anqi were a mixed bag, like a tangled mess. She knew well that Hao Anqi was a lively, cheerful girl without any schemes, but she felt inexplicably annoyed by her, just because she occupied Shen Yan's heart.

This annoyance was like a cup of bitter wine, unable to be swallowed or spat out, making Wu Yue'er suffer internally.

As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face, especially in front of Shen Yan, so Wu Yue'er greeted her with a smile, "It is quite a coincidence, this is the fourth time we've met; shall we add each other on QQ?"

Hao Anqi readily agreed and gave her QQ number.
