Chapter 39 Dancing
Lu Mingfei rejected all the girls who invited him to dance and drink, and just drank and ate meat by himself.
Caesar stood high on the steps of the dance floor, on a circular platform that allowed him to look at everyone and attract everyone's attention.
Lu Mingfei's situation made him smile. He was unmoved by money or beauty, and he was quite shameless. Although he had been drinking, he was still quite a character.
Fingel confidently tossed his head and struck a rather dashing pose as he invited the beautiful women on the steps to join him.
But everyone has someone to dance with. Before, trying Lu Mingfei was just a gamble, so who would want to dance with him now?
Who will dance with me?
Even if you stretch out your hand like that, I won't jump.
Lu Mingfei stared blankly at Fingel, who was currently eating a huge Australian lobster with wasabi and some kind of oil—it tasted pretty good.
He had drunk enough wine and was about to eat something to tide him over. The side effects of the secret technique would last for a while, depending on how fast he ate; the more he ate, the faster the side effects would end.
"I'm not asking you to dance, I'm just asking you to do something. As long as you attract most people's attention, I can pull out my camera and sneak into the photographers' team to continue eating."
Lu Mingfei took off the crown and tucked it under his arm. He didn't have long hair and didn't know the point of wearing this thing, so he just shook his head.
"I don't know how to pull off any tricks. What, are you going to go and perform a sword dance and then assassinate Caesar? This is a trap he set. By the rules, I can only leave through the side door at most."
"Then you have to find a way to save your senior brother!"
Fingel lowered his voice, and then he saw a beautiful woman walk straight toward him, across the dance floor, ignoring everyone's gaze, drawing all eyes to her, and extending her hand with an icy aura.
Oh no, I'm still here for Lu Mingfei.
There's a saying that even the most virtuous woman can be won over by a persistent suitor, and another saying that a woman pursuing a man is as easy as piercing a thin veil. But Lu Mingfei felt that his relationship with Ling was neither of those things.
This is the way this iceberg-like girl does things: I just do what I want to do, I just keep moving forward, and I'm never afraid of anyone stopping me.
Even a giant ship like the Titanic would sink if it hit an iceberg.
Moreover, Zero is inexplicably good at taking advantage of him. When Lu Mingfei came to the school, he rejected Caesar and Chu Zihang, but unfortunately, he couldn't refuse Zero more than three times.
The same thing is happening now. Lu Mingfei rejected the first group of girls, then he rejected Fingel, and now he's done it again.
"Just asking, if I don't agree, will you keep coming here and reaching out?"
Zero looked at Lu Mingfei without saying a word. Lu Mingfei was about to glance at Fingel beside him.
Unfortunately, the other party is quite stealthy; they've already infiltrated the photographer team that was supposed to meet them. Yes, which student department is in charge of the photographer team? It's hard to guess.
So an ancient person and a foreigner held hands and danced together. The girl with light golden hair wore a silver dress inlaid with crystals, like a silver butterfly dancing under the lights.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as exaggerated as Lu Mingfei's. His moon-white silk robe was like billowing clouds, and the black robes underneath made Lu Mingfei look like a dragon in the clouds.
The black dragon and silver butterfly spun and leaped, more like a spectacle than a dance, tearing apart all the dancers on the dance floor, leaving them only able to watch silently and marvel.
"That's S-rank! I didn't know he danced so well. You should learn from him!"
A young girl playfully scolded her male companion, making the boy in a suit nervously look at Lu Mingfei, wanting to learn his dance steps, but he accidentally stepped on Lu Mingfei's foot.
The two almost got into a fight.
The boy complained, his face covered in sweat.
"I didn't step on you, it's just that the S-class clothes were too big and I couldn't see you, so I stepped on you."
"What's the difference?! Their clothes are designed to complement the dance moves!"
Lu Mingfei heard the sound and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He spoke up.
"Luckily, it's a long robe, so no one can tell whether I made a mistake or not."
"You've already made more than ten mistakes on this section. Follow me."
So, just like the protagonist in Ratatouille, Lu Mingfei let Zero manipulate his body, and then he could perform a perfect dance that reminded the picky connoisseur of his mother's dance moves, making him burst into tears and give the judge a perfect score.
At least that's what's on Lu Mingfei's mind right now. He suddenly felt he should put on the hat on the table; that way, he'd look even more like Ratatouille.
Are you thinking about something bad?
"No, I just remembered a movie while I was idling. Why did you insist on having me dance?"
Lu Mingfei felt that it didn't seem like the other person had feelings for him. It was more like something else. The feeling the other person gave him was closer to that of family than romantic feelings.
It's like being in a blizzard, in the freezing cold, he would try to hold this ice sculpture-like girl to prevent her from actually freezing into an ice sculpture, while telling her how hard it was for him and how he was giving her all the warmth he had.
The tone was like a parent who has prepared a table full of dishes and then serves you the best parts while simultaneously picking out the less desirable parts for themselves, all while serving you the same value.
"I like dancing."
While Lu Mingfei was lost in thought, Ling spoke without any emotion.
"That's why I asked you to dance, because everyone else has a partner."
"Oh! So you chose me because Fingel is a dog, right? Haha."
Lu Mingfei and Finger's relationship can be described as a platonic friendship, because one is a scoundrel and the other is an alcoholic.
After becoming acquainted with Finger, Lu Mingfei immediately declared that there is always someone stronger and there is always someone better. He added that after meeting Finger, he realized that his reputation as a despicable dog was undeserved.
Fingel then said that after meeting you, the vice principal's reputation as an alcoholic is truly undeserved.
So, in the dormitory, Lu Mingfei and Fingel begged each other on their knees to get a whole table of exquisite food that they had obtained using Lu Mingfei's campus card. After clinking glasses, the two laughed heartily, truly worthy of being called equals.
Zero couldn't understand; she had originally meant to say that Fingel's height didn't match hers... never mind.
The music is beautiful; it's a theme song from the movie "Scent of a Woman," also known as "One Step Away."
The blind old soldier was full of energy when he put his arm around the beautiful woman's waist, as if for a moment his eyes had not gone blind and he had returned to the past, proudly dancing with his beloved after giving a speech.
At that moment, the girl in front of them suddenly spoke.
"As the music is about to end, I will spin 3,600 degrees."
He spoke with zero composure.
But Lu Mingfei was still in a daze.
"Wait, how many laps is that? Won't you get dizzy?"
