And she had danced! One the entire song!! In front of so many people!!!
Before Ying Xuan had time to celebrate, or do anything for that matter, another song started on the speakers. This one was also a slow song for couples to dance to, and Xuan and Jingyu were joined by about a dozen couples on stage as they began dancing once more.
Once the music was in full groove and all the attention was off them, Wei Jingyu leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "You wanna sit down for a minute?" Ying Xuan let out a broad smile and shook her head. Now that her stage fear was gone, she could dance with Wei Jingyu for hours and hours.
Jingyu seemed satisfied by the answer as he let out a smile and pulled Xuan a little closer to himself. Ying Xuan steadied herself as she slowly swayed to the music.
A couple of minutes later . . . .
"Don't fall asleep down there." Xuan looked up upon hearing these words. She had slipped off her heels in the middle of the song while they had been dancing, so now she came up to Jingyu's shoulder.
And she had been resting her head on his chest as they lightly swayed while he said this. Though she tried to pout and stick out her tongue to tease him, Ying Xuan had a broad smile on her face. Wei Jingyu was so comfortable, she easily could fall asleep. In his arms.
"Hey." The man she had been thinking about called out, bringing her out of her thoughts. "Do you remember the first time we couple-danced?" he asked. Xuan blinked as a loving smile came upon her lips. Of course she remembered the first time they had couple danced. It had been on Jingyu's birthday party, before either of them had really voiced out their feelings.
It was also before a time when Ying Xuan was comfortable being this intimate with Wei Jingyu. Xuan chuckled as she thought back to that dance, all she was trying to do at that point was to make sure her heart did not beat fast enough for Jingyu to hear. She was once again brought out of her thoughts by his voice. "What are you laughing about?" he asked.
Xuan shook her head with a smile, but it disappeared the next instant upon seeing Wei Jingyu frown. Seeing the questioning look in her eyes, he replied, "I hate that we can't have a proper conversation here." 'Do you want to leave?' Xuan managed to sign with difficulty, lifting her hand that was on Jingyu's shoulder and signing with it.
Her heart positively melted upon seeing Jingyu's face brighten up. He quickly let go of her right hand and with his right hand still on her back, he gently steered her away from the dance floor.
"What are you thinking?" Wei Jingyu asked once the two were in a less crowded part of the hall, seeing that Xuan's eyes were clearly very far away. Ying Xuan blinked. She let out a guilty smile and signed, 'I was thinking that I could really eat a whole tub of ice-cream right now.'
"Ice-cream?" Wei Jingyu was very confused. He never would have expected Xuan to say that. Xuan shrugged with a smile.
