Li Yunxiao was determined to dance.
Chen Lijun, sitting beside her, pulled her hand.
"Yunxiao, don't go dance. Look at those people, they don't look like good people."
"Look, look, those two are pressed together, his hand is almost touching her thigh."
Li Yunxiao looked in the direction Jun Jun was pointing. The men and women on the dance floor were unleashing their natural instincts.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she might be groped.
But with Jiang Hua there, she wasn't afraid at all.
Just like the previous times, whenever she encountered danger, Jiang Hua always stood in front of her.
"But I want to dance."
She said, staring straight at Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua immediately understood.
"I'll go with you."
He said, taking Yunxiao's sleeve and walking to the edge of the dance floor. The two of them moved to the music.
Jiang Hua kept protecting her, fending off several men who tried to take advantage.
Although they were both somewhat disguised, Li Yunxiao's aura was different from women who frequented bars.
Suddenly, the music and lights stopped.
Damn, this bar really wasn't for decent people. This brief darkness created opportunities for many.
Jiang Hua quickly hugged Li Yunxiao, intending to leave the dance floor from memory.
"Jiang Hua, be good to Jun Jun in the future. She's very innocent, kind, and without guile."
As the lights dimmed, Li Yunxiao panicked a bit and hurriedly hugged Jiang Hua.
Several men had been eyeing her just now.
But her words stunned Jiang Hua.
What did she mean by be good to Jun Jun? Was this entrusting her care to him?
The two embraced, each able to hear the other's heartbeat.
"Jun Jun likes to sing Yue Opera. I hope you won't look down on her. Besides Yue Opera, she likes your songs the most."
Jiang Hua quickly asked, "What do you mean? What am I looking down on her for?"
Li Yunxiao sighed.
"She often performs, often in the public eye. Don't you men all like demure women? You fool, Jun Jun has never been in a relationship, she has little contact with men. She likes you."
Damn, Jiang Hua was stunned on the spot.
Sister, this information has completely bewildered me.
Jiang Hua blurted out.
"Then what about you?"
These words also silenced Li Yunxiao.
After a long while, the lights and music resumed, but the two were still in the corner of the dance floor.
She hurriedly pushed Jiang Hua away.
"I have Jun Jun, I have Yue Opera, I can also take care of myself. Let's leave it at that. I still want to dance."
With that, she started dancing to the music again. To be honest, Jiang Hua did really like Jun and Xiao.
The surrounding men were itching to make a move.
Jiang Hua quickly spread his arms, pretending to dance while protecting her.
He said, "Li Yunxiao, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Wait for me for a few years. I plan to become a global superstar, then promote Yue Opera. You don't need to bear such a heavy burden."
They were now the top stars of Yue Opera, taking the promotion of Yue Opera as their personal mission.
But promoting Yue Opera isn't something that can be done overnight, nor is it a one-person job.
This was the first time Jiang Hua actively took on responsibility, actively expressing his ambition.
Yes, the domestic music scene doesn't make money, and it's just an extension of the entertainment industry.
Capital runs rampant, big shots gather.
Jiang Hua didn't want to play with them anymore. He'd just release albums. In the future, he wouldn't attend any domestic events except those related to promoting Yue Opera.
As for releasing albums, that was because he couldn't stand the Korean Wave running wild.
"Global superstar?"
Li Yunxiao's eyes widened. This guy finally revealed his ambition.
"Ouch!"
Someone pushed Jiang Hua, and he quickly hugged Li Yunxiao.
They hurriedly let go of each other and left the dance floor.
This place really wasn't suitable to stay any longer.
....
"Oh, my head hurts so much. Ah, Jiang Hua, why are you in my room?"
The next morning, Chen Lijun rubbed her head, complaining of a headache.
She had drunk a lot last night.
She saw Jiang Hua sitting on the sofa in the room, watching TV.
She quickly lifted the blanket, saw that her clothes had all been changed into pajamas, and was completely bewildered.
"Oh my, Jiang Hua, you bad guy! Where are my clothes?"
Jiang Hua looked exasperated.
He said gently, "Look whose pajamas those are. She changed your clothes for you last night. I only came this morning. There's warm milk on the bedside table, drink it first."
Jiang Hua continued watching TV, but his heart was full of emotion.
He recalled Li Yunxiao pulling him aside last night and saying many things.
"Jiang Hua, don't think Jun Jun is strong on the outside. Inside, she's just a little girl. Don't hurt her. If you don't like her, please stay away from her."
"Let's just be good friends in the future, the best kind."
Chen Lijun breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the milk and started drinking.
She looked completely satisfied.
After finishing, she searched the room for Yunxiao.
"Huh, where's Yunxiao? I don't see her."
Jiang Hua composed his expression, then said with a smile, "Yunxiao, her mother called her home. Said there was something urgent. Oh right, I'm taking you all to the park today."
Chen Lijun looked unhappy.
"Oh, Yunxiao is really something. It was her idea to come play with you, and now she's gone home by herself. Hmph."
Jiang Hua explained with a smile, "She had something come up suddenly. Don't worry, I personally saw her off at the airport. We'll see her again after the New Year, right?"
Chen Lijun stretched lazily.
"Jiang Hua, go out. I need to change clothes."
"Oh, oh, okay. You change first, I'll wait outside."
Jiang Hua quickly got up. As he passed the sofa, he accidentally bumped into it.
Chen Lijun laughed and teased, "You fool."
The whole day, Jiang Hua took them to many attractions, especially the haunted house.
Chen Lijun clung to Jiang Hua's sleeve, completely terrified.
Even worse than Xiaoyuanzi.
Everyone else was laughing uncontrollably.
"Oh, stop laughing. What's so funny? I'm really scared."
"If Yunxiao were here, she definitely wouldn't laugh at me."
Qingqing rolled her eyes at her. Old married couples really were different.
"If Yunxiao were here, she'd laugh even louder."
"Hmph, she wouldn't."
Jiang Hua interrupted their teasing.
"Sisters, let's move on to the next attraction. How about we go see the pandas?"
Everyone unanimously agreed.
"It's so cold, will the baby pandas come out?"
Jiang Hua shrugged.
"They probably should. It would be too disrespectful to me if they didn't."
"Alright then, let's make a bet. If they come out, Jiang Hua, we'll ask you to sing. If they don't come out, you ask us to sing."
In the end, it still came down to Jiang Hua singing for them. They were quite clever in their planning.
Jiang Hua now charged by the hour for his singing.
"Alright, Jiang Hua, you sing a song first. We didn't get enough yesterday."
Jun Jun now had a new hobby, which was listening to Jiang Hua's songs.
She listened when going to sleep, to help her fall asleep.
