Chapter 26: A Solo Dance Just for Him
A dance?
What dance?
Was it a performance at the cultural event?
Fu Chengque’s words left Wen Yu somewhat unable to react.
Was it the dance he had watched from afar in his previous life, unable to see Fu Chengque’s expression from such a distance?
In this life, was he going to see it early in Fu Chengque’s bedroom?
Just him?
A solo dance just for him?
At this moment, Wen Yu’s heart pounded fiercely, and his breathing became rapid. His feet seemed to root themselves, the whole room felt magnetic, drawing him to find a place to sit down and never leave again.
Happiness came too suddenly, and Wen Yu didn’t dare to believe it.
“Are you serious?”
“Really…” Fu Chengque took a deep breath and made up her mind: “Really!”
Wen Yu became joyful, his smile couldn’t be hidden. He quickly moved the small table and chairs, then sat on Fu Chengque’s bed, gesturing for her to sit down.
“First, let me make it clear,” Wen Yu preemptively said, “I know nothing about dance, so I can comment on whether it looks beautiful, but I can’t correct any mistakes in the posture.”
He waved his hand, “I don’t understand that stuff, and I can’t correct it.”
Fu Chengque couldn’t help but complain, “So you have shortcomings too. I thought you were good at everything. I was even thinking of getting sick on the day of the dance and letting someone else dance for me.”
Wen Yu wasn’t the least bit upset.
“Empress Fu, I’m ready. Let’s begin.”
Dancing wasn’t scary. Fu Chengque had always desired to perform on stage since she was young, but dancing in her own bedroom, just for one person!
Never before!
Fu Chengque’s mind buzzed, echoing a few questions:
Why did I agree to this?
Why am I dancing alone for Wen Yu?
Why am I trying so hard to celebrate his birthday!
***
Fu Chengque didn’t move for a while, making Wen Yu a bit anxious.
“What’s wrong, do you need to change clothes?”
Fu Chengque’s eyes widened.
“I’ll go change clothes.”
She left a sentence and walked out of the bedroom.
This way, she could delay for some more time and calm herself down. Otherwise, she didn’t know how to start, feeling stiff all over.
Fu Chengque put on her long skirt in her parents’ bedroom.
Returning to the bedroom, her nervousness improved a lot.
Seeing Wen Yu staring at her intently, Fu Chengque suddenly relaxed—
I’m Fu Chengque, just dancing to please a friend.
***
Fu Chengque was beautiful, confident.
With a well-proportioned figure and fair skin, every inch of her skin was displayed up close as she moved, showing perfection. There was no accompaniment, but her dance movements were beautiful, and her soft breathing was the most exciting music.
Her expression was calm, her confidence elegant.
It was her, the girl who once shone brightly on the stage in the past.
Wen Yu was completely intoxicated.
After a dance, Fu Chengque shyly exited the stage, changed clothes, and returned to the bedroom. Wen Yu was still in a daze.
“Hehe, how was it?”
“Very beautiful.”
“…”
Fu Chengque didn’t expect Wen Yu’s praise to be so straightforward, leaving her momentarily unsure how to respond. She could only bow her head and awkwardly say, “Thank you.”
Just then, Fu Chengque’s phone lit up.
She checked it and saw a message from Xiao Gua:
【Xiao Gua】: Done! Tell him to come back!
Fu Chengque’s eyes brightened.
“Wen Yu, is your mom at home?”
“Yes, she said she’s not working this afternoon.”
“Let’s go, let’s have dinner at your place.”
Wen Yu felt that Fu Chengque was suddenly seized by an impulse, and that strange feeling kept recurring.
Regardless, after watching the beautiful dance, he was indeed hungry.
Going home for dinner!
The corridor light was broken, pitch black.
Wen Yu said to Fu Chengque behind him, “This light is always broken. I suspect someone’s stealing light bulbs.”
“It’s just a short walk, are you afraid of the dark?”
“I can’t find the keyhole…” The door clicked, “Oh, got it.”
“Mom, I’m back and I’m hungry.”
Wen Yu shouted into the house without looking up.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, several voices suddenly exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then various colored pieces of paper rained down from above.
Wen Yu jumped in shock. Before he could react, he suddenly saw a group of people in front of him, singing “Happy Birthday,” while Fang Ling and Lu Min approached with a candlelit cake…
Playing a prank, huh? Wait a minute…
Cake?
Candles?
Birthday song?
Is this… for my birthday?
Today does seem to be my birthday.
Wen Yu’s mind raced, quickly piecing together the situation.
Thinking of Fu Chengque’s various strange behaviors: no wonder Fu Chengque had invited him over early to study, no wonder she had danced alone for him regardless of shyness…
So, all of this was to surprise him at this moment.
Several people crowded around and handed the cake to Wen Yu, shouting in unison, “Happy birthday, Wen Yu.”
***
So, he made a wish, blew out the candles, cut the cake…
And then happily ate and drank.
An experience never had in the past life, but now fully experienced in this life.
As soon as the meal started, Xiao Gua couldn’t wait to take out the gift and start giving it.
“Wen Yu, this is a gift from me and Fan Liming. Hope you like it~”
Wen Yu hurriedly accepted it and thanked Peng Hui and her boyfriend.
Lu Min and Fang Ling also presented their respective gifts.
Finally, even Wen Yu’s mom brought out a gift, which surprised Wen Yu greatly.
“Mom, how come you have one too!”
“What do you mean? How can I not have one?” Mother Wen was displeased.
“You used to just make me noodles with an egg.”
“Wasn’t that because our conditions were poor before? Really, here, your dad and I chose it together, quite precious.”
“Thank you, Mom…”
Wen Yu carefully accepted it, a gift that had never existed in the past life.
Finally, everyone’s gaze turned to Fu Chengque.
“Of course, I also have a gift, but Wen Yu, mine will be given to you after the party.”
Everyone: “Oh~”
Lu Min teased, “What kind of precious gift is it that you have to give it secretly?”
“Who knows, maybe it’s something we can’t bear to see.”
The girl was embarrassed, “What can’t you bear to see? Just an ordinary gift…”
“Then why not give it now?”
“Well… I’ll give it later!”
After some teasing, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Halfway through the party, Wen Yu finally woke up. This birthday party was proposed by Fu Chengque and mainly participated in by several girls in the group, with help from his mom and Xiao Gua’s boyfriend.
They had planned it for two weeks.
Wen Yu didn’t like being pretentious, but at this moment, he had to sincerely express his gratitude.
“Oh, we actually gave a gift and had a nice meal for free,” Fang Ling said.
“Yes, you should thank Fu Chengque more, she really cares,” Lu Min added.
Fu Chengque: “…”
She was teased again.
It wasn’t until nearly eleven o’clock in the evening that everyone dispersed.
Wen Yu sent them off one by one, then returned home and was immediately scolded by his mom:
“Xiao Yu, go and take Qiao’er home, and then… buy a bottle of detergent on your way back.”
Wen Yu was speechless.
Could it be any more obvious?
But he didn’t argue back.
Fu Chengque picked up the gift and went downstairs first. Wen Yu thought for a moment, went back to his room to get his “Knowledge Consolidation” notes, and caught up with Fu Chengque.
