"Haldir, everyone is watching. Think of how embarrassing it would be for her to return like this. Please." Vana begged as Shen Jiyu turned to go.
Shen Jiyu frowned and looked around. A lot of people were both blatantly and discreetly staring at the both of them. "One dance!" He said and stretched his hand to the young woman.
As they moved to the dance floor and began to move according to the music, the woman smiled charmingly, "Haldir, do you remember me? I.."
"No talking either." Shen Jiyu replied sharply, cutting her off even before she got the words out. A crestfallen look appeared on the woman's face as they continued to dance without conversation.
After the dance, Shen Jiyu nodded to the woman and walked away. He mingled in the crowd, those who wanted to talk to him were a little scared of the expression on his face, they moved away, creating a vacuum wherever he went.
Where was Basil?
"Xiao Shu, did you see Basil leave?"
