Escape From the Library

【Masquerade-04】

There were a lot of staff busy backstage at the party. At first glance, these people were NPCs arranged by the library. Jiang Pingce walked in the corridor with Yue Xingwen, not worried about being seen. No one will pay attention to the fact that two boys "interlocking fingers".

Jiang Pingce looked calm and walked calmly.

However, Yue Xingwen's heart beat faster. He always felt that holding hands like this was too intimate, which made him feel guilty for no reason.I have shaken hands and hugged Jiang Pingce before. For example, when Yue Xingwen won the National College Debate Competition, Jiang Pingce would hug him when Yue Xingwen walked off the podium; Jiang Pingce won the trophy of the Mathematical Modeling Contest. Yue Xingwen will also go to the scene to congratulate.

The classmates around me all know that they are good buddies, and the action of "hugging" is too normal for them. Yue Xingwen has never thought about it, but today...

Yue Xingwen's palms were covered with sweat, he followed Jiang Pingce forward as stiffly as a piece of wood, his head was blank, and all his attention was on the hands held together by the two of them.

It wasn't until the "Preparation Room" sign appeared in front of him that Yue Xingwen suddenly withdrew his hand.

Jiang Pingce turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Yue Xingwen said with a dry smile, "Well, although we both have a clear conscience, if we go in hand in hand, we might be misunderstood if our classmates see us." He paused, and then explained, "During the school sports meeting, we still I was sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and many people on the forum joked that we were a couple, and some said it was ugly, I just..."

Jiang Pingce interrupted him in a low voice: "Do you mind what others say?"

Yue Xingwen was taken aback, then subconsciously shook his head and said, "I have a thick skin, and I never mind how others scold me, but I hate seeing those who say you are not good."

Jiang Pingce's heart warmed slightly, and his gaze on Xingwen became more gentle.

The person he likes has always been confident and brave. He has always believed that one day when they are really together, Xingwen will definitely be willing to stand side by side with him, face all doubts from the outside world, and bear all the storms together.This is the person he chooses to be with him for the rest of his life. Although he is a bit dull, his subconscious behavior of "protecting his weaknesses" always softens Jiang Pingce's heart.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, gently helped Yue Xingwen tidy up his hair, and said in a low voice, "I never mind what others think of me... as long as you recognize me, that's enough."

Yue Xingwen looked at him blankly.

Both of them wore masks, but he could clearly see the tenderness in Jiang Pingce's eyes, which was like vines wrapping around his heart, making him unable to break free.

Yue Xingwen heard the sound of his heart beating violently, and even his breathing became rapid.He stood in the corridor and looked at Jiang Pingce. After a while, he suddenly realized, his ears were red, and he said in a joking tone: "So, I am so important to you?"

The corners of Jiang Pingce's lips twitched lightly: "Well, aren't you quite proud?"

Yue Xingwen always felt that this scene was a bit strange, and the heat spread from his ears to his face. He coughed lightly, looked away uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "No matter what choice you make, I always believe in you .”

Jiang Pingce rubbed his hair lightly: "Me too."

When Lin Manluo and Luo Feng came over after changing their clothes, they happened to see this scene——Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen were standing face to face at the door of the preparation room. Their faces were covered by masks. Their eyes were facing each other. Chatting softly, the harmonious atmosphere seemed to form a strange isolation zone, so that outsiders could not get in at all.

Lin Manluo always felt that there was something wrong between these two people, maybe it was her intuition as a girl. Over the years, every time the student union held an event, there would definitely be Jiang Pingce wherever there was Yue Xingwen, even if the event Yue Xingwen participated in was not Jiang Ping Whatever Ce likes and is good at, he will go with him.

Of course, on the surface, they seem to be close friends. They have been classmates for three years in high school, and it is normal for them to be a little closer to others in college.However, are they really just "friends"?

Why didn't the two of them find a girlfriend? Jiang Pingce always rejected people thousands of miles away with an indifferent attitude. No girl dared to chase him; even if Yue Xingwen was enthusiastically pursued by many beautiful women, he would still politely refuse?

From freshman year, they seemed to have only each other by their side.

Is it normal for a top student from the mathematics department and a top student from the Chinese department to go to the library for self-study together every day?

Are they...

Lin Manluo was startled when she thought of a possibility.But after thinking about it, Yue Xingwen looked like a straight man of steel. When he was with Jiang Pingce, his eyes and movements were very frank, without any sign of guilt.

Even some time ago, because he and Jiang Pingce were imprisoned in the Civil Affairs Bureau, many people on the forum made jokes, and Yue Xingwen responded generously, saying that he would give everyone happy candy.

He is so calm and upright, but people can't think wrong.Is it because I think too much?

Lin Manluo scratched her head in doubt, but Zhuo Feng walked up to say hello, "Is it Xingwen Pingce?"

Yue Xingwen turned around and said with a smile, "Brother, where are the others?"

Zhuo Feng said: "We're all queuing up in the locker room to change, let's go first."

The four of them entered the room and sat down to rest. After a while, other students also changed their clothes and came in.There is still half an hour before the official opening of the party. Yu Xin seriously told everyone: "Let's go through the action again from the beginning to deepen the impression. The space here is limited, everyone be careful not to bump into each other."

Because there was no soundtrack in the preparation room, Yu Xin recited one, two, and three beats for everyone.

Everyone danced from the beginning without any mistakes.Yu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just took a look at the stage, and that stage is three times bigger than our training room, so when we go on stage later, we need to adjust our positions, and each other's One meter wider than in the training room."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Time passed quickly, and soon, a staff member in charge of prompting knocked on the door of the preparation room and said, "The next program, "Vienna Woods Waltz", please get ready."

Everyone stood up from the sofa collectively, and tidied up their costumes for each other.

When dancing just now, Xingwen's bow tie was a little loose, Jiang Pingce naturally reached out to help Yue Xingwen tidy it up.Yue Xingwen smiled at the other party, and stretched out his hand to help Jiang Pingce straighten his collar.

Laughter came from the other side of the stage, it should be that the previous show was being performed.

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, and whispered to Jiang Pingce: "I've never been nervous arguing with people in a venue with thousands of people, but it's the first time I've danced on such a big stage. I won't forget later. Don't forget to take me with you."

Jiang Pingce nodded: "Don't worry."

The last program ended soon, the host came to the stage to give a speech, and the staff took them to stand behind the curtain.

The clear voice of the hostess rang in my ears: "Please enjoy the dance brought to you by the 183 Song and Dance Troupe—Viana Forest Waltz!"

There was warm applause from the audience, and on the stage, Senior Brother Liu Zhaoqing laughed straight away: "183 Song and Dance Troupe, the library really knows it."

With his smile, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed. Yu Xin whispered: "Everyone, don't be nervous, dance to the rhythm of the music, I believe everyone will be able to complete it!"

The curtain was drawn, and dazzling lights streamed down from the roof.

Usually the lights in the training room are not so strong, but now standing on the big stage, Yue Xingwen's eyes subconsciously squinted under the strong light, and when he opened his eyes again, he met those familiar deep eyes .

Jiang Pingce looked at him tenderly, bowed slightly in front of him, and stretched out his right hand.

Yue Xingwen put his hand on it, and the boy said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, I'm here."

The familiar music accompaniment sounded in his ears, Jiang Pingce exerted a little force, held Yue Xingwen's hand with his right hand, and gently wrapped his left hand around the other's waist, and walked into the dance floor with Yue Xingwen.

The dance steps of the two were specially modified by Yu Xin. Although Yue Xingwen danced women's steps, the dance posture Yu Xin adapted for him was not as soft and beautiful as other girls, but instead revealed a sense of wantonness and freedom. , partnered with Jiang Pingce, who has a steady pace, the two are evenly matched, very attractive.

Rotate, synchronize, exchange...

The muscle memory formed by three consecutive days of practice made Yue Xingwen's legs subconsciously take a smooth dance step with the accompaniment of the music. In his mind, there was a picture of staying up late practicing with Jiang Pingce for the past three days; It was Jiang Pingce's gentle and deep eyes when he looked at him.

At that moment, Yue Xingwen ignored everything around him, and he even felt that there were only the two of them left in the whole world.

He could see a miniature of himself in Jiang Pingce's eyes.

Their distance was so close, their eyes met, and even their breathing seemed to blend with each other.

The next moment, the accompaniment of the music came to a climax, Yue Xingwen took a step forward, spun around quickly, then turned around suddenly and grabbed Jiang Pingce's hand that was stretched out to him, and was brought into his arms by Jiang Pingce.

Jiang Pingce's strong arms firmly hugged Yue Xingwen's waist. The tailored suit fabric was very soft, but Yue Xingwen felt that the place where his waist was held by him seemed to be slightly hot. .

The music with a strong sense of rhythm in his ears merged with the frequency of his heartbeat.

bang bang bang...

His heart was beating so fast that he couldn't control it. Being held there by Jiang Pingce's arms, Yue Xingwen felt that his legs were inexplicably weak and his ears were hot. At that moment, he didn't even dare to look into Jiang Pingce's eyes.

It was fine during practice, but today, Ping Ce looked at him with such gentle eyes that Yue Xingwen had the illusion that Jiang Ping Ce regarded him as a lover in a trance.

Is it because you are too involved in dancing?

Yue Xingwen's mind was in a mess. Fortunately, he had practiced the basic skills solidly these days. He didn't forget the movements from beginning to end. Yue Xingwen danced the whole dance with nervous nerves, and he was relieved until the music stopped. .

When everyone came forward to call the curtain together, Jiang Pingce took his hand again naturally, and the two walked to the edge of the stage, bowing to the audience in tacit understanding at the same time.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Yue Xingwen's palms were covered with sweat, and his heart was still beating ridiculously fast.

The curtain fell, and everyone returned to the backstage to wait for the points to be settled. Yu Xin couldn't help but praised: "Xing Wen and Ping Ce danced so well, it exceeded my expectations! You two really have a good understanding."

Xu Yishen also smiled and said: "That's right, I think after Yu Xin's adaptation, the movements of the two of you became the highlight of our whole dance. I never thought before that boys and boys can dance the waltz so beautifully. "

Yuexing Digest took off the mask and turned to look at Jiang Pingce, who also took off the mask with a tacit understanding and was looking at him.Because of the strenuous exercise during the dance, Jiang Pingce sweated a lot, the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, making him look handsome and sexy.

Yue Xingwen forcibly controlled his violent heartbeat, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Senior sister Yu Xin made the adaptation well, and the two of us danced very well, as long as there are no mistakes."

Jiang Pingce echoed: "Well, I should be able to pass."

The final score surprised everyone——

Their group waltz this time actually got a high score of 90 points!

Yue Xingwen said excitedly: "That's great!"

As if to celebrate, Jiang Pingce stretched out his arms and gently hugged the excited Xingwen into his arms.

Yue Xingwen's back stiffened slightly. Both of them were sweating because of dancing at this time, and their body temperature was higher than usual. He only felt that he was surrounded by a mass of warm breath, and Jiang Pingce's deep voice rang in his ears. :"very nice."

Yue Xingwen didn't know what he said was really good, was it really good to get 90 points, or it was good to dance together?

The students around are hugging and celebrating. Isn't it strange that they hug each other?Yue Xingwen hesitated for two seconds, and gently stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Pingce. At that moment, he seemed to hear Jiang Pingce's heartbeat obviously accelerated.

Jiang Pingce's arms tightened even more.

Xing Wen, it's great to meet you when I was young and walk such a long road with you.
