At this moment in the hall, there was no uproar or commotion. The silence in the hall was also somewhat terrifying, eerie to the extreme. Countless eyes were on the two as questions began to emerge in their hearts.
They never expected this scenario, they all thought that Lin Lan would choose to go back to Si Guo after she was threatened by the demonic brothers but it seems like they underestimated her decision.
Was Lin Lan's mind influenced by something that made her choose the wrong choice?... This question kept on troubling their hearts, since Lu Shang was crippled he doesn't have the power to influence anyone thought to do to his will… Then what was happening?
Si Guo had been trying for years to make her accept him but all his trial was to no avail despite that he never gave up on her. He canceled the thought of going hard on her but here she got to meet Lu Shang for the first time and they had already started to hold onto each other's hand. This was a slap to the face of the almighty Si Guo.
Si Guo's eyes had turned bloody red out of anger while his heart was holding onto the hatred he now has for Lu Shang and Lin Lan. He clutched his hand and his finger pierced into this flesh, making blood pour freely from the injury but he ignored the pain.
The pain in his heart was greater than the one in his hand. He could feel everyone's gaze on him and he couldn't help but wanted to find a hole to hide himself. He if had the chance to kill Lu Shang, there was no doubt that he wouldn't hesitate to do so, and then for Lin Lan, he would make sure he would make life miserable for her.
"Is something wrong with the head of Lu Shang?"
"He decided to offend no other person than the demonic brothers, even though he is part of the Lu Clan. Is he going to remain inside the clan without stepping his feet outside?"
"Does he not know what the demonic brothers are capable of doing?"
"What an interesting show! This is my first time seeing the almighty Si Guo being scolded by a cripple… Hahahahaha."
Different voices resounded in the hall, but none knew the exact reason that Lu Shang was doing this. Was he intentionally offending the demonic brothers or was he interested in Lin Lan?..... But most people think that why he was doing so was to offend the demonic brothers because they witnessed him asking Lin Lan why she was following after him but when Si Guo infuriated stood up and yelled at Lin Lan, it was then that Lu Shang stepped in to offend the two brothers.
Si Guo was hesitating whether to go back to the platform or continue his way toward the two. He sighed and then breathed in relief before turning back towards the platform without uttering a single word.
Some of the elders in the hall were amazed by the things done today by Lu Shang.
"He does know how to talk to a lady, indeed talented" an elder commented, making everyone muse.
Lu Shang didn't care about what others thought about him, it was none of his business. He gently held Lin Lan's hands as he began to lead her towards the dance floor under the gaze of everyone.
Lin Lan willingly followed along with him. There was no regret in her eyes for the choice she made.
Within the mind of Lin Lan, she was confused. 'What's wrong with me? I can't believe that I couldn't control and blocked his part, trying to start up a conversation with him… This is unbelievable, I have never felt like this towards anyone, then why now? Forcing myself to talk to a guy, and the worst part was he wanted to ignore me but why did he retaliate when Si Guo furiously shouted at me?' Her thought was blooming with questions he had no answers to.
She stole a glance at Lu Shang's face. 'Did I lose control of myself or did I act out of intention?... Well, I can't regret my actions now'
Finally, Lu Shang and Lin Lan got to the dance floor.
Lu Yi, who had been looking at his son with a smile on his face, recovered and then slowly addressed the crowd there. "Please everyone sorry for the commotion. You know how the young generation behaves, so I hope everyone understands," Lu Yi said, cupping his hand, apologizing to everyone.
Everyone in the hall wasn't angry, in fact, the show put up by Lu Shang was kind of entertaining. They nodded their heads, agreeing with Lu Yi.
"Thank you all for understanding. Now everyone can return to celebrating with us" Lu Yi said as he held the hands of Zhou Xiao.
Soon the cool and slow-emotional music started to sound in the four corners of the hall which made everyone return to what he or she was doing before the commotion between the demonic brothers and Lu Shang broke out.
Lu Shang looked at the eyes of Lin Lan before saying, "I know you're not going to be familiar with the dance stance I will be taking. So, just follow my step and you're going to enjoy it," He proceeds by holding Lin Lan's right hand with his left hand while placing his right hand around the waist of Lin Lan.
A confused expression could be seen on Lin Lan's face, she could feel the hand of Lu Shang around her waist which caused a red tinge to appear on her cheek, flushing with embarrassment which she tried to hide from Lu Shang. She had never been intimated with any boy less more of a boy touching her.
Lu Shang felt like laughing out loud but he forced down the urge to do so. "Why that type of look on your face?" He teases her.
Lin Lan lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.
Lu Shang chuckled to himself. "Don't feel shy, place your left hand on my shoulder and trust me, you are going to enjoy this wonderful dance stance that the others are going to be jealous of," He assured her with a smile on his face.
Lin Lan slowly placed her left hand on his shoulder but not after hesitating for some seconds. After all, a lot of eyes were focused on them.
"Now, what you have to be doing is follow every step I take," Lu Shang said as he shifted his right leg to the side, and Lin Lan mirrored him by shifting her left leg to the side.
Lu Shang smiled and nodded at her. He then brought his left leg close to his right foot and moved his body to the rhythm of the music.
Lin Lan followed every step of Lu Shang carefully without missing out on any. 'What type of dance stance is this?' She questioned herself without voicing it out.
Many people were observing the movement of the two and found it strange. Normally, everyone here was holding each other's hands while moving slowly to the music but the dance stances of Lu Shang and Lin Lan were different from the others.
Si Guo, who was looking at the two had an evil grin on his face, "What type of useless dance stance is that? Well, a retard will always remain a retard. He is going to lose a lot of face, who does that by choosing that unusual step?"
Lu Shang and Lin Lan were unaware that they were slowly gaining the attention of everyone in the hall with their unusual dance steps. People thought that Lu Shang was only trying to bring up a dance stance without knowing the proper way to dance.
Unknown to these people that the soul occupying Lu Shang's body wasn't from this world but from a strange world that has never been heard by them. When Lu Shang was still alive on earth, he loved watching and practicing new dance steps, so it is not strange that he could unleash one of his dance steps here. He was proficient in formal dancing.
"You're a fast learner, not bad. Now let's go over it again and then we're going to shock the entire hall with our dance steps" Lu Shang said looking at the eyes of Lin Lan.
Lin Lan smiled and then nodded her head.
Lu Shang moved his right foot to the side while Lin Lan reacted by doing the same with her left foot.
Right after that, Lu Shang brought his feet together by moving his left foot close to his right foot while moving his body in a strange but pleasant manner. Lin Lan gracefully followed along but she was slow in taking her steps.
With a smile on their faces, they repeated the same movements, keeping on moving alongside each other while their upper body gracefully got closer to each other.
"Where did you learn of such dance steps?" Lin Lan asked while avoiding Lu Shang's eyes. While she was enjoying every step of the dance, she felt her body light while performing the dance stance.
"I figure out this dance steps myself" "Why are you avoiding looking at my eyes?" Lu Shang asked while they continued repeating the move again and again.
Lin Lan slowly lifted her head and looked at the eyes of Lu Shang shyly.
"That's more to it, this way it will become more wonderful," Lu Shang added.
Hearing his words, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Looking at the eyes of Lu Shang, she felt something within her that she couldn't explain. Her heart was brimming with excitement over nothing.
Soon, looking at the gaze of Lu Shang. She felt as if they were the only ones in the hall, the surrounding had slowly faded making them feel all alone in the hall.
She felt as if a thunderstorm ran through her body because of the connection between her and Lu Shang. 'What is this strange feeling? Is this the effect of the dance or the connection of our hands?..... Well, it's not bad'
Lu Shang also felt the same but he didn't think much about it. "That's the wonderful effect of the dance stance. Is it not wonderful?" Lu Shang said as if he could read the thoughts of Lin Lan.
