"Lu Ke, can you give me your autograph?"
"How does it feel to stand next to those professional players and play in a game?"
"A group photo, I want a group photo, is that okay?"
"Oh my God, it's really him. He's much more handsome than he looks on TV! Oh my God!"
"Can I ask, what was going through your mind when you made 'that pass'?"
…
The chatter of questions was endless, surrounding Lu Ke and Julia. This really caught the two of them off guard. Faced with such a strange and chaotic situation, they had no idea how to deal with it.
Seeing the crowd gathered around him, which continued to increase and seemed to have no end, Lu Ke shouted, "Quiet, everyone be quiet!" Amidst the loud music, Lu Ke's shout finally broke out. Let the chaos calm down a little, "Thank you, thank you all for your... curiosity. Today is the homecoming dance. Please enjoy the dance. I am here as the male best friend. Please forgive me. I need to fulfill my duties as a flower protector. It’s my duty.”
The crowd of onlookers suddenly let out a meaningful and knowing voice, "Oh!"
The protracted ending was full of countless subtexts. Julia's cheeks were immediately stained with two blushes, burning hot, and she couldn't help but secretly gritted her teeth: Damn Lu Ke. She should know that Lu Ke likes to play pranks the most; and he can pull them off easily, even Logan has suffered a lot.
"Please give way, everyone, I'm going to invite a female partner to start the first dance tonight." Lu Ke said again.
"Oh..." The crowd of onlookers made a clear sound for the second time, and their knowing eyes were full of ambiguity. However, this time, the crowd finally dispersed and made way for a passage. It leads straight to the dance floor.
Obviously, this is not the planned arrangement, and the development of things is gradually going off track. Before they knew it, they were already riding a tightrope.
Lu Ke also smiled bitterly. He had to jump into the hole he dug. So, he politely extended his right hand and said, "Dear Julia, may I invite you to dance with me?"
Swishing, Julia could clearly feel the sights from all directions shooting at her like sharp arrows. If these arrows were tangible, then she would be a hedgehog now. The feeling of being in the spotlight is really weird.
Lifting her head, Julia saw the smile in Lu Ke's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said almost with a ventriloquist, "Are you sure? Didn't you just say that you can't dance?"
Lu Ke raised his eyebrows with an innocent look on his face, as if he was saying, "Do you have a better way?"; Wait, that joking look in his eyes was saying, "The audience is waiting, it's better not to let them down." "Okay." What does it mean?
However, Lu Ke didn't give Julia time to think, and his eyes fell on his right hand; involuntarily, Julia's eyes also fell on her hands. The palms were wide and big, and the slender fingers had clear joints, like spring. The green bamboos grow vigorously and powerfully, as if they can create a safe haven by just closing their fingertips.
Inexplicably, two blushes appeared on her cheeks. Julia realized her random thoughts and coughed twice exaggeratedly to cover up her embarrassment. But then she realized that her coughing action was actually a sign of Wu Yinsan here. One hundred taels, if you don't fight, you will get it yourself. This made Julia's whole face wrinkle up, and she gritted her teeth in annoyance.
All disturbing thoughts were cut off, and Julia put her left hand into Lu Ke's right hand. Thick and generous, with a touch of warmth, it seems that you can feel the beating of the pulse through your fingertips. Her mind is blank. Julia has no idea how things developed to this point. The next moment, her body follows Lu Ke guided by her and slid onto the dance floor.
Mark, who was standing outside the crowd, still didn't leave, looking at Lu Ke and Julia blankly. His dance partner seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and could not be found at all; his partners, all excited and excited, formed a half-moon shape around them, cheering for Lu Ke; even Francis also No exception.
Mark was alone, standing on the outside, as if he was exiled and no one cared about him. The whole dance was noisy and lively, but everything seemed to have nothing to do with him. Mark couldn't help but start thinking about it: How did things develop to this point? Where did things start to go wrong?
"Ho ho ho", the cheers and cheers were endless, so that the background music became noisy, interrupting Julia's thoughts, and she realized one very important thing——
"Didn't you say you can't dance?" Julia suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Ke, her eyes full of suspicion and surprise.
The smile at the corner of Lu Ke's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes drifted upward as if to avoid him, "No, I didn't say that."
Julia opened her mouth to refute, but thought carefully about it: indeed, Lu Ke had never said that. He simply said, "I am not responsible for partner duties tonight," which was misleading and ambiguous. After realizing her mistake, Julia bit her lip and glared at Lu Ke in annoyance.
At this time, the dynamic dance music stopped, and the tender love songs flowed slowly. The teenagers who were twisting enthusiastically on the dance floor hugged their dance partners, slowly swayed, and stepped on the waltz steps, Wander in the gentle melody and quietly enjoy the small world of two people.
Originally, Lu Ke and Julia just entered the dance floor hand in hand and swayed to the rhythm before they had time to get involved; now, the music suddenly switched to a different mode, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle - everything was originally No, but the group of people standing nearby who kept making noises restrained Julia's movements.
"Wicked witch, may I have the honor to invite you to enjoy this dance?"
Lu Ke's familiar voice came to her ears. There was a bit of relaxation and humor in the serious voice. Julia couldn't help but laugh. She raised her head and looked at Lu Ke's smiling eyes. Feeling relieved, he also let go of his hands and feet, then politely pulled up his skirt, squatted slightly, and returned an uncharacteristically aristocratic thank-you gift.
"Honored Royal Knight, of course, it is my honor." This was Julia's answer.
The two people started the waltz in a decent manner, and then started to spin and dance along with the melody.
The smile on the corner of Julia's mouth fell deep in her eyes. She looked at Lu Ke in front of her and said sincerely, "Thank you." After saying it, Julia laughed out loud, "Not just thank you today. He accompanied me to the dance in the evening, and he was of great help just now, not letting me embarrass myself in front of Mark and Jenny."
"You're welcome." Lu Ke was not polite, but nodded with a smile, and then said, "Thank you."
Julia's expression was slightly stunned, and she couldn't react for a moment: Why did Lu Ke want to thank her?
Then, Lu Ke said seriously, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the treatment of a superstar."
From the corner of his vision, he could still see a large group of people standing next to the dance floor, dancing and beaming with joy. They seemed to be actively promoting the wonderful experience tonight to other friends. The scene looked really full of... …vitality.
Julia couldn't help but smile, "If this is considered superstar treatment, then what should the cheers and shouts received at Candlestick Stadium be?"
"Adrenaline." Lu Ke's clever and cunning answer made Julia think about it carefully, and then laughed brightly, and her whole face became brighter, truly showing the girl's brightness and joy. , the shadow of temporary replacement of dance partners finally completely disappeared.
"Julia, you deserve better." Lu Ke said. Julia showed a puzzled look, and then Lu Ke continued to explain, "I am serious, you deserve better."
There are no unnecessary explanations, no nagging philosophy, and no chicken soup for the soul. It was just a sentence of "You deserve better", but Lu Ke's eyes were so sincere and sincere. Julia's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment, and the music in her ears and the neon lights in her eyes seemed to disappear in an instant. The whole world fell silent, and the sound of the heart pounding could be clearly heard: Plop, plop.
But, the next moment, there was a pain in Julia's calf, and all the tingling and ambiguity disappeared. Her whole face couldn't help but wrinkled, she bared her teeth, and looked at Lu with confusion. Ke, "I thought you could dance!" The kick just now was Lu Ke's masterpiece. With one turn, her calf bone suffered damage.
Before Lu Ke could speak, he immediately started to retreat, but he was still a little slow and stepped on Julia's toes. Then Lu Ke saw Julia open her mouth and make an exaggerated expression. , as if the pain was penetrating into his bones, and along with it, Lu Ke couldn't help but bared his teeth, and his facial features wrinkled together, "But I never said that I am good at it."
Julia's breath was blocked in her chest, stuck neither up nor down, feeling frustrated and funny at the same time.
Then I saw Lu Ke's cautious movements, his muscles stiffened, and he looked a little clumsy. It seemed that two consecutive mistakes made him confused, and he was completely without the heroic appearance of killing everyone on the court. Julia couldn't hold it back any longer, she chuckled and said jokingly, "Tell me, who won the dance competition between you and Logan?"
Lu Ke opened his mouth and thought about the dance scene, which could be called the scene of a large chain car accident. Then he closed his mouth and replied seriously, "I think we should talk about national affairs."
"Pfft", Julia didn't hold back and laughed out loud. Seeing Lu Ke closing his eyes with a look of death on his face, welcoming the "baptism of saliva", Julia originally wanted to defend herself: she didn't squirt. Export water.
But Lu Ke's expression was so lifelike that her shoulders quickly shrugged. Smiling sullenly was too hard, so she deliberately remained silent and stared at Lu Ke. After a while, she saw Lu Ke carefully opening his eyes. Julia stopped holding on and laughed loudly.
The homecoming dance was much more fun and joyful than I imagined. Julia felt that it was a good start to start her final year of high school in this way.
