Upon hearing Liu Hun's words, Hu Qingdie's heart not only settled down, but it also felt like it had been placed in a pile of honey. Whether it was the effect of those words or the influence of the alcohol, many of the restraints in her heart were temporarily let go.
Hu Qingdie stood up, turned on the gramophone that belonged to an older era but was treasured by her to this day, and then, with a swaying grace, walked over to Liu Hun and extended her hand, saying, "May I invite you for a dance?"
Liu Hun smiled. It was Hu Qingdie who had first taught him to dance, of course, there was no reason to decline the invitation from a beauty who looked bewitching with her eyes misted with drink and face flushed like peach blossoms in spring.
Accompanied by the melodious jazz music, Hu Qingdie and Liu Hun, as dance partners of many years, spun gracefully around the spacious living room.
