C272 Before He Could Finish His Sentence
Slowly, one hand stroked Lin Ruoxi's back, feeling the softness under the silk dress, the fingers of the other intertwined, looking at each other.
It would be a lie to say she was not nervous. Lin Ruoxi shuddered instinctively, forgetting what the waltz was all about.
In fact, although there has been an upper-class etiquette education since childhood. She learned the necessary steps. However, the person who taught Lin Ruoxi had always been a woman. Therefore, it was Lin Ruoxi's first time dancing with a man.
She had danced with this man for the first time, and they had not been having a good time just now. Lin Ruoxi felt a little sarcastic.
Because Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi were too eye-catching, many people stared at them from the beginning of the dance.
Lin Ruoxi had a calm personality. She had never attended such a banquet before, not to mention being watched dancing by others. As a result, her body became stiff and her movements became irregular.
"If it's stiff, it's ugly." Yang Chen said with a smile that was not a smile.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips and said, "You'd better mind your own business."
Lin Ruoxi finally relaxed after this simple exchange. It didn't matter if she was hugged by him since it was a dance, since everyone was hugging each other on all sides. There were even some youngsters who took the opportunity to kiss each other occasionally.
The ballroom dance was a traditional dance technique recorded in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, but until the seventeenth century it had always been an ornamental dance of the European royal family.
After the French Revolution, it gradually flowed into the people, gave rise to all kinds of more visible dance steps, and was later spread by the American society, gradually formed today's national standard, namely waltz, rumba dance.
Because there were so many kinds of dance moves, the people who learned them were also different. There were more or less different kinds of dance moves.
Lin Ruoxi was taught the orthodox Chinese standard dance, which was used for social etiquette. She didn't dabble in social etiquette, so even though she performed well, most of her movements were restricted by the dogmatic framework.
Yang Chen jumped around with Lin Ruoxi for a while and then couldn't help but laugh, "Dearest, do you know what it feels like to dance with you?"
"What?" Lin Ruoxi asked in a low voice, wondering if she had skipped the wrong jump because she hadn't studied for too long.
"I felt like I was back in medieval Europe, dancing the most traditional ancient ballroom dance with a noble lady at a royal ball. Although the steps were elegant, it was like a puppet, completely without tension." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi was not stupid and rolled her eyes at Yang Chen, "Just say that I am inflexible and there is no need to beat around the bush. That's what my teacher taught me when I was learning, so how do you think I should jump? "
"Do you want me to teach you?" Yang Chen blinked at her.
Lin Ruoxi was not convinced and said angrily, "You only know how to jump, what right do you have to teach me?"
"Who said that I can only dance? I can only dance with your dance moves. Actually, even if it's the most traditional dance, as long as you change the details slightly, it would still be very pretty." Yang Chen said playfully.
Lin Ruoxi naturally did not believe him. In her opinion, Yang Chen being able to dance was already a very strange thing. She didn't think Yang Chen was very professional.
Thus, she held onto the thought of watching him make a joke and said, "Okay, tell me what to do. Let me warn you first. If it's a very foolish action, I won't cooperate with you."
"It seems that our Director Lin is a timid woman. At least in terms of dancing, you are very reluctant." Yang Chen sighed.
Lin Ruoxi mockingly said, "You don't need to provoke me, I don't like to jump."
"Then relax a little. If you use so much strength, how am I supposed to guide your movements?" Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment. She was slightly concerned about the situation, but as she moved, she relaxed her mind. Gritting her teeth, she relaxed her body's movements.
Suddenly, just as Lin Ruoxi was about to step back, she felt one of Yang Chen's hands release from her waist. Immediately after, she felt a strong force pull her other hand and her body smoothly took two steps back!
"It's about to begin."
Yang Chen muttered as he followed up with a series of actions!
Lin Ruoxi felt that Yang Chen's hands were constantly performing all kinds of movements skillfully, sometimes coordinating with the slaps on his legs. He made his steps follow the rhythm and increase in amplitude.
The music on the accompaniment just started to accelerate, and the original waltz seemed to have become more like a tango.
Lin Ruoxi felt the giant crystal chandelier above her begin to spin rapidly. Her body followed the control of Yang Chen's two hands, following different paths. As long as she stretched out naturally, she could do all sorts of movements that she had not thought of before.
Their steps were suddenly completely different from those of the male and female partners around them, especially the occasional exaggerated movements, which were like professional skating, a perfect combination of high-speed rotation and division. From time to time, Lin Ruoxi would feel Yang Chen's arm around her waist, and her body would rise into the air in a short period of time …
In fact, because Yang Chen's movement frequency was too fast, Lin Ruoxi didn't have the chance to feel what she was doing. She just followed the commands of various forces and her body danced naturally.
Many of the dancers around them stopped in their tracks and looked at the two of them with interest. They were performing a varied, relaxed waltz.
Many of those present had been to many Western countries, so it was easy to tell that the dance between the two had a rich Western folk dance style. It was casual and natural.
Lin Ruoxi's black silk evening gown looked extremely tight at this moment. Many times, Lin Ruoxi had thought that her dress would be ripped apart.
Her skirt was like a blooming black lotus, dancing along with her steps, revealing a small, tender, and white calves below.
Many young ladies looked at the two who were dancing excitedly, while many men subconsciously decided not to dance tonight, because their dance moves were a bit too old-fashioned.
The person with the strangest expression was Liu Yun, who had intended to embarrass Yang Chen. At that moment, Liu Yun had a smile on his face, but it was ashen white. His eyes reflected the figures of the man and woman on the dance floor, as if he wanted to burn them down.
Tang Wan who was drinking cocktail in the corner watched for a while, as well as the two Cai Family sisters, with some astonishment in their eyes. Yang Chen, whom they knew, had never revealed this side of his face.
When a waltz ended, many people at the side saw that it was not enough and shouted for Yang Chen and his partner to dance another song.
Lin Ruoxi was panting, her pink cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were moist. This was the first time she danced like this. In the end, she even threw herself onto Yang Chen's body with her soft body. It was all thanks to Yang Chen's strength that she was able to make such difficult moves.
After she stopped, Lin Ruoxi realized how bold she had been. Her face became even redder, and she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen didn't feel too burdened. In fact, Lin Ruoxi's basic skills were pretty good. He only needed to give her a bit of pointers and most of her moves would be done smoothly.
"Do you still want to jump?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and shook it lightly.
"Is this dance more interesting than a rigid route?" Yang Chen asked happily.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Do you dance with a lot of women?"
Yang Chen was at a loss for words. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"You're very good at it. You used to do that a lot when you were overseas, right?" Lin Ruoxi raised her head, her expression unreadable.
Yang Chen answered carefully, "It's in some bars. You know, bars overseas are more open. It's normal for us to dance together and our movements are much more exaggerated."
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "I seem to understand why you did that. You must have been living abroad in the past …"
"Very what?" Yang Chen asked.
Lin Ruoxi sighed and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Go back out. I'm tired."
Yang Chen felt helpless. Why did she stop halfway through her sentence? What kind of habit was this? Isn't this making everyone anxious?
However, from the looks of it, Lin Ruoxi did not want to argue with him. This could be considered as good news.
However, no one danced on the dance floor after Yang Chen's interruption. Everyone felt that their dancing moves were not very eye-catching, so they simply started to drink and chat, pretending to be very busy.
As the host, Liu Kangbai saw the situation was already like this. He walked on stage and announced the end of the ball early, and then entered the main event of tonight, the charity auction.
