The dreamlike and beautiful music gradually stopped, and the people who were dancing also stopped and bowed politely to each other to express their gratitude.

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly changed, making the people on the dance floor look as beautiful as those in ancient paintings.

Soon, the strong lights were focused on the center of the dance floor, and the host received instructions to walk slowly under the lights.

Under everyone's gaze, the host picked up the microphone and announced in very standard Mandarin:

"Dear classmates, the last dance of the prom has ended. Judging from the smiling faces of the classmates, I believe everyone has fully enjoyed this evening.

This moment is the most anticipated part of every dance. Now I have the final list in my hand. Do you all want to know who it will be? "

“Yes!”, the students responded deafeningly.

At this moment, Wu Ziyao, full of confidence, lovingly embraced the girl in white beside him. He believed that he must be on the list in the host's hand.

From beginning to end, he danced with the girl next to him who he chose at first sight, and he acted like a person who fell in love at first sight and was devoted to her.

Although he deliberately acted like he was attracted to the girls throughout the dance, he also slowly became immersed in the process while seducing the girls.

In the end, after many interactions with the girl, which were sometimes sincere and sometimes pretend, he was really attracted to this mysterious girl who met his ideal type.

So much so that, when they were dancing the last dance, there was no element of performance on his part, and the way he looked at the girls was so ambiguous.

Therefore, he believed 100% that if he was truly interested, he would definitely be chosen, and his expression was more confident than ever before.

The girl in the white dress that Wu Ziyao was holding didn't care at all about whether she could be chosen as the best goddess of the ball. She only cared about Wu Ziyao.

She closed her eyes and tried to feel Wu Ziyao's gentle embrace. Everything that happened tonight made her feel like a dream, a beautiful dream.

The girl opened her eyes, looked up at Wu Ziyao, who was out of her reach before, but now so close, and then smiled sweetly.

She thought that even if she could never have any contact with Wu Ziyao again, she would have no regrets. Wu Ziyao's gentleness and consideration towards her tonight were enough.

As for Chen Yaxin and Han Yangxu, neither of them had any interest in the final candidate to be announced. They just waited for the host to make the announcement and then left.

Han Yangxu listened to the host's delaying words, not letting people know the answer clearly and whetting people's appetite. His curiosity was also aroused.

He looked at Chen Yaxin who was standing next to him as tall as his shoulders, bent down, lowered his head, leaned close to Chen Yaxin's ear, and asked softly:

"If I'm chosen, do I have to take off my mask? I've heard about this before, but I don't quite understand the process."

Suddenly, Chen Yaxin felt someone breathing into her left ear. She felt itchy and subconsciously shrank her neck.

Her ears were quite sensitive, and her auricles immediately turned red. She moved a small step to the right, covered her red ears, and patiently explained:

“No, whether you are selected or not, taking off the mask is voluntary, just like a pair of strangers can take off their masks now to let each other know.

The selected man and woman can choose whether to take off the mask. If they are unwilling to take off the mask, they will automatically give up the title of the best.

Then the second person will get it. If the second person is also unwilling to take off the mask, the selection will continue to the next person.

But the first person chosen for the ball was always willing to take off the mask, so there shouldn’t be a situation where someone is unwilling to take it off.”

Han Yangxu found it funny to see Chen Yaxin covering her ears, but he actually didn't expect that he would now want to understand the party rules that he had previously found boring. He smiled bitterly and continued to ask:

"Oh~ I see. What if we are chosen? Would you be willing to take off your mask?"

"Huh? Us?" Chen Yaxin had never thought about it, so she asked in surprise.

"Yes, I just want to ask, if we are selected, would you be willing to take off the mask?" Han Yangxu nodded and asked again.

Chen Yaxin immediately put herself into the scene of being selected, thinking about what her life would be like at school if she took off the mask.

She instantly got goose bumps all over her body, and said with fear and certainty:

"I don't want to! If you want me to take off the mask now, I am willing.

But if it's in front of so many people, I don't want to do it."

"Why?" Han Yangxu seemed to know the reason, but still wanted to hear what Chen Yaxin had to say, so he asked.

Chen Yaxin expressed her thoughts seriously:

“I don’t want to be noticed by all the teachers and students in the school. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t like it.

Being watched all the time is actually very stressful. I feel like I am not a character that can be perfectly presented to the public.

Hahahaha, I was so engrossed in what I was saying that I almost forgot there was no chance I would be chosen."

"They are the ones who have been chosen as the best goddess and best man of this ball! Applause!"

In an instant, as soon as the host finished speaking, several lights shone directly on Chen Yaxin and Han Yangxu.

Following the host's lead, even those students who were reluctant in the dance floor started to applaud, offering their congratulations either sincerely or falsely.

Chen Yaxin was startled and thought she had ascended to heaven. Suddenly, everything turned white and her body was glowing.

She was unable to open her eyes because of the dazzling light, but Han Yangxu considerately blocked her eyes so that she could see her surroundings clearly.

She realized later that she and Han Yangxu were actually chosen, and she suspected in disbelief that she was a jinx.

The host continued excitedly, "Wow! The boy's behavior is so sweet. The boy is handsome and the girl is beautiful. They are really a very elegant and well-matched couple. I am also impressed by them."

Okay, now the finalists for the dance have been chosen, and we are officially entering the next stage.

Would you two be willing to take off your masks and express your feelings for each other in front of everyone?"

"Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!" Before the host finished speaking, the students were already clamoring to take off their masks.

Everyone's attention was focused on Chen Yaxin and Han Yangxu, including Wu Ziyao who had an angry look on his face.

Wu Ziyao let go of the girl in the white evening gown. His face beneath the mask was distorted and hideous. He was furious and couldn't believe that he was not the one chosen in the end.

Especially when he saw that Chen Yaxin, who was selected as the best goddess, was the girl he had set his eyes on first, he regretted it so much that he regretted not choosing Chen Yaxin.

The girl in the white dress who was released saw that Wu Ziyao was unhappy, so she held Wu Ziyao's hand and comforted him softly:

"It's okay, you're great too. In my heart you're the best man. Don't..."

Before the girl could finish her words, Wu Ziyao shook her hand away.

After Wu Ziyao shook him off, he wanted to curse, but when he looked at the girl next to him who was sad because of his sudden action, he finally sighed helplessly and aggrievedly.
