Chapter 385: Emergency Mission

The leaders left, actually for two reasons.

First, as teacher leaders, they can't be hugging students to dance; that's inappropriate.

Secondly, with the leaders present, the students can't let loose.

The second reason is considering current policy regulations; although on the surface it's still not allowed to dance Social Dance in public.

But it's obvious it's not as strict as before; the public's tolerance has increased and they're less opposed.

So the leaders just turn a blind eye.

As the leaders and some students left, the Da Litang lights dimmed, leaving only a few small bulbs for illumination.

This dim environment immediately lifted the thoughts of the men and women present.

They are just young students, at the peak of their energy.

Before entering university, whether from academic pressure or ideological suppression, they could, that night, shed all burdens and fully immerse themselves in the ball.

Many boys were already eager, their eyes like hungry wolves, searching everywhere for desired prey.

The girls, of course, were shy; some even wanted to leave, but damn legs wouldn't move.

Even if they didn't go on stage to dance, just sitting here was enough to make them feel excited and nervous.

Of course, while the boys were looking for ideal partners, only a few were bold enough to actually invite.

This added a sense of taboo to the scene.

Lu Cheng saw this as unacceptable; the new freshmen were like little chicks, not daring to dance, and even the senior brothers wouldn't, which would be too shameful.

In the end, Lu Cheng stepped forward first, invited a female classmate, and set an example for everyone.

Then Zheng Guoping followed, and gradually more people took the initiative.

Only the newly enrolled male classmates sat in their seats, watching others hug girls to dance, feeling both envy and regret.

Even some female classmates' minds changed at this moment.

They thought, why can she be invited? No one invited me.

The girls dancing on stage became the public enemies of the girls below, and the girl invited by Lu Cheng became the biggest public enemy.

Getting to dance with Lu President became many girls' wish.

Fortunately, Lu Cheng didn't forget his role as president; he was elected by all students, so he naturally must serve them all.

Thus in dancing, he wanted to be equitable.

Regardless of height, weight, or shape, Lu Cheng would step forward to invite them to dance for a while.

Lu Cheng thus earned many girls' favor, not only for his excellent dancing but also because he treated every girl equally.

Unlike those other jerk boys who only pick the pretty ones to invite.

Only Yang Yin sat in her seat, angrily tugging at her hem.

Why are the girls beside her invited, but not her?

What does that mean! Isn't this making her embarrassed in public?

Don't you think about how you became president!

I even smuggled cigarettes for you! You big bad wolf in sheep's clothing! Scoundrel! Street prowler!

Yang Yin, in her mind, cursed Lu Cheng back and forth.

When Lu Cheng finished another dance and walked toward her seat, Yang Yin turned her head aside.

This time you come to invite me, I still won't dance, it's too late!

But Lu Cheng went to a girl behind her, making Yang Yin even angrier, and she couldn't help standing up to question.

"What do you mean? You're deliberately provoking me, aren't you?"

Lu Cheng felt puzzled: "Auntie, I haven't bothered you tonight."

The girl's temperament changed like weather, sunny one moment, cloudy the next, and Lu Cheng consciously kept his distance.

"You still say you didn't bother me! Then why didn't you invite me to dance? It's fine if you don't invite me, you could go over there and invite other girls, but you specifically invited the one next to me; you're clearly targeting me on purpose."

Lu Cheng exclaimed in protest: "You're really wrong about me; every time I come, you deliberately turn your head away, so I thought you didn't want to dance."

Besides, I was clearly doing it for your sake, taking better care of the students in your class; if they see me, they won't bully you.

Yang Yin stared, doubting the truth of his words.

"Would you be so kind?"

Lu Cheng smiled: "Of course I have an agenda; the cigarettes you brought last time were good, I almost finished them, why don't you steal some more?"

Yang Yin pursed her lips: "That depends on your performance. I'm telling you, I have plenty at home, all given to my dad by others."

Yang Yin's temper flares up quickly and fades just as fast.

The ball's atmosphere, compared to the initial tension, relaxed noticeably after a while of dancing; people could chat while dancing.

What surprised Lu Cheng was that Yang Yin could actually dance Social Dance, and she did it quite well.

Earlier he had taken a few female classmates; their moves were clumsy, some couldn't even do anything, but they were interested and wanted to dance, so Lu Cheng could only patiently teach.

Holding Yang Yin's slender waist with one hand, the two gently shifted their steps.

"Sure, Tang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be not only good at studies but also so proficient at dancing."

Yang Yin was proud: "Of course, my parents always dance at home, so I naturally learned it."

Lu Cheng nodded lightly: "Hmm, that's indeed pretty good."

"What do you mean 'pretty good'? Is there anyone better than me?"

Yang Yin's tone held a hint of dissent; she had been watching, and the other girls' moves were clumsy, clearly she was the best.

Little did she know Lu Cheng wasn't referring to the girls on stage; Yang Yin could indeed dance among the students, but compared with another woman…

Just as Lin Qingyan's image began to surface in Lu Cheng's mind, the Da Litang suddenly plunged into darkness.

The scene turned chaotic, with many shouting that the power was out.

Lu Cheng knew it had to be Wei Shu, and per the agreement he pulled the electric switch down.

It was a rotten idea from Zheng Guoping; Lu Cheng had even already heard his voice in the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, big brother is here, hold tight to big brother, I will protect you…"

The voice was cheap and sleazy, making Lu Cheng almost laugh out loud, and when he looked at Yang Yin there was no particular reaction to the blackout.

"Aren't you scared?"

"What's there to be scared of."

Since it was dark and no one could see anyone, Lu Cheng deliberately seized the hand that was on Yang Yin's waist, pulling it hard, and at once a fragrant aroma wafted into his face.

Yang Yin, not noticing, ended up pressed tightly against Lu Cheng.

If it were other female classmates, Lu Cheng believed the other party would surely be too shy to move.

But Yang Yin was different; after quickly reacting, she twisted hard at his waist.

"You still want to bully me! You really think this young lady is that easy to bully!"

"Sss, that hurts, be gentle, that's the kidney…"

"Lu President, Lu President, are you here? Why is there still a power outage! The Security Department has your phone, saying it was the Train Police that called, quite urgent…"

Lu Cheng heard his classmate's shout, let go of Yang Yin: "I'm here, coming right away."

Lu Cheng felt a bit puzzled; why did the Traffic Police Unit still call the school, and it was night—could it be another urgent mission?
