Suddenly, someone stood in front of her, casting a shadow.
Lin Xiaoman kept her eyes closed, recognizing the voice, her mouth slightly curving up, “Are you sure you can do it?”
“
“Don’t underestimate me,” Wei Qinghuan raised her head, stepping back, twirling and rotating with a flourish, performing the move and laughing proudly, “How’s that?”
“Not bad,” Lin Xiaoman stood up, turned on the accompaniment, “Let’s see if you can keep up with me.”
As the grand accompaniment sounded, Lin Xiaoman moved slowly, Wei Qinghuan following with a sleeve flip and a glance back. As the music gradually reached its climax, their movements became faster, graceful and enchanting. As the rhythm accelerated, Wei Qinghuan could no longer keep up, but Lin Xiaoman seemed immersed in the music, each movement seeming to be born for this music.
Wei Qinghuan was mesmerized.
“How about it, want to try again?”
At the end of the song, Lin Xiaoman looked at the young girl, her eyes seemingly glowing with light.
Wei Qinghuan was infected and laughed: “Of course.”
She walked to the center of the dance room, and as the music played again, they began dancing once more. This time, Lin Xiaoman deliberately slowed the music’s tempo.
Although still somewhat awkward, Wei Qinghuan could now barely keep up with her movements.
After repeating this dozens of times, even without watching Lin Xiaoman, Wei Qinghuan could now complete the entire set of movements.
However, due to the long persistence, her stamina seemed to be failing.
“Want to continue?” Lin Xiaoman asked.
“I’ve just finished warming up,” Wei Qinghuan was not conceding, “Are you already tired?”
“Just getting into the groove.”
Lin Xiaoman’s mouth curved, laughing more happily. They repeated the dance over ten times, drenched in sweat, but moving like twins in perfect sync, their movements becoming increasingly consistent.
The night grew deep, and the radio tower’s lights gradually went out, with only the thirteenth floor’s dance room still illuminated. Like stars in the night sky, they remained bright until dawn.
When Lin Xiaoman awoke, she found her shoulder felt heavy. Looking sideways, she saw Wei Qinghuan soundly asleep on her shoulder.
