Gazing at the Rainbow - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Dance Together

Magnificent crystal lamps filled the large banquet hall with dazzling lights, and the waiters walked through the crowd with wine glasses and dinner plates as they waited to hand out sweet drinks and delicious snacks to the guests at any time.

In front of the banquet hall was a small stage with huge screens on either side.

The left and right sides of the banquet hall were arranged in a buffet style, with tables and chairs around the venue and a dance floor in the middle.

Since it was a masquerade, it was natural for people to dance.

The lights at the venue suddenly dimmed. At the same time, the music sounded, and rows of misty light lit up all around. The light was dim, so even though the lights were turned on, the room was still dim.

The ball had officially started.

Lin Yao had originally wanted to dance with Jiang Mingshu, but there was no way the male netizens would let the two goddesses dance together. They swarmed up and asked the ladies to dance.

Amid the chaos, Jiang Mingshu was the first led to the dance floor and left Lin Yao all alone surrounded by a group of male netizens. Panicking, she dragged Hot Pot Is Too Hot all the way to the dance floor.

The male netizens who failed to get a dance with the goddesses scattered around in search of other targets.

There were more and more people on the dance floor, and, perhaps due to the influence of the night sky and the lighting, their originally mediocre dance moves appeared as if special effects were added; they looked beautiful and dreamy.

Lin Yao glanced at the dance floor. She didn’t recognize who Jiang Mingshu’s partner was, but judging from his figure and fashion style, it was probably Like Spring Breeze.

Along with the fact that Jiang Mingshu had a shy expression on her face when she was invited, Lin Yao was more convinced that her dance partner must have been Like Spring Breeze!

Jiang Mingshu’s crush on Like Spring Breeze was way too obvious, but he was already taken. Otherwise, he and Jiang Mingshu would have made a great couple.

They were doomed to be star-crossed, but there was nothing wrong with dancing together.

Seeing her best friend’s wish come true, Lin Yao felt happy for her.

The only problem was that Jiang Mingshu would never think of her as long as she was accompanied by Like Spring Breeze.

Lin Yao’s partner was Hot Pot Is Too Hot. He wore a hood on his head and was dressed up as a reindeer. He looked a little ridiculous, but he was tall, had a great figure, and he danced well, so he was a very handsome reindeer.

After close contact, she couldn’t help but feel surprised. Why hadn’t she realized that Hot Pot Is Too Hot had a great figure before?

Lin Yao took the initiative to find Hot Pot Is Too Hot to dance together, but of course, it wasn’t because she had any feelings for him.

Lin Yao hadn’t been on the Hang City Forum for long, and she hasn’t participated in many events. Among the male netizens on the entire Hang City Forum, she was only familiar with a few people, such as Like Spring Breeze, Hot Pot Is Too Hot, and Fate Technetium Sky.

If she had to dance anyway, it was better to dance with him than to dance with a stranger.

Speaking of, Fate Technetium Sky was usually like a chatterbox, but today he was unusually quiet.

Lin Yao thought that maybe it was because he was wearing a hood and it was inconvenient to speak?

That was since she didn’t need to explain it.

The two of them danced the first dance in darkness.

At the end of the song, the lights around the banquet hall rose slowly.

Netizens obediently walked towards the dance floor, and the male netizens waiting there seized the opportunity to ask their favorite female netizens for a dance.

In the meantime, many of the male netizens came over to ask Lin Yao, but, for some inexplicable reason, Hot Pot Is Too Hot took the lead and dragged Lin Yao to the dance floor again.

Lin Yao didn’t like the idea of dancing with boys she didn’t know that much, nor was she interested in the idea of having a new partner for every dance. Hot Pot Is Too Hot was just right for her.

During the third dance, Lin Yao’s partner was still Hot Pot Is Too Hot. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Little Guliang, who was walking alone near the dance floor.

“Look over there.” Lin Yao stood on her tiptoes and whispered into the ears of her tall dance partner, “Little Guliang is all alone, so why don’t you use this golden opportunity to ask her for a dance?”

Hot Pot Is Too Hot glanced at her nonchalantly, and she couldn’t read the expression in his dark and tranquil eyes.

Lin Yao was a little surprised by that. She clearly remembered that Hot Pot Is Too Hot and Fate Technetium Sky had been trying to steer Little Guliang away from Lifelong Love For Her.

Yet now Hot Pot Is Too Hot was dancing with her, and Fate Technetium Sky was nowhere in sight. Even Lifelong Love For Her, who was usually inseparable from Little Guliang, seemed to have disappeared.

How could this be?

After a short pause, the lights dimmed again, and the soulful magnetic male voice slowly sounded with the music.

“Love me tender, love me sweet

Never let me go

…”

Deep, gentle, romantic, affectionate… like a whisper between lovers, there was an unspeakably ambivalent vibe in the dark.

Lin Yao was momentarily distracted, and her steps were slightly out of order.

Perhaps feeling her inattentiveness, Hot Pot Is Too Hot slightly tightened the grasp of the hand he had placed on her waist.

With one’s vision temporarily shielded by darkness, one’s sense of touch became particularly sensitive.

Speaking of this, this was the first time she had been so intimate with men, and in such an environment, but fortunately, no one could see her blushing in the dark.

“…

For my darling I love you

And I always will.”

After the three dances, the music stopped, the lights slowly turned on, and the banquet hall gradually returned to its previous brightness.

A well-known host from Hang City’s TV Station took the stage and announced, “Next, an even more exciting moment has come. Tonight we will select the Hangzhou City Star and the Hangzhou City Lucky Star!”

The scene was filled with cheers and screams.

“Now we will invite our sponsor, the representative of the Orlando Group, to come to the stage and draw out the one and only Hang City star for us tonight!”

The banquet hall was briefly in an uproar from the appearance of the host and the representatives of the Orlando Group, but soon they were quiet again, and everyone waited for the results to be announced.

Lin Yao knew before participating in this masquerade that a “Hang City Star” would be selected during the masquerade, and Jiang Mingshu carefully prepared two people’s clothing and props for this purpose.

It’s just that Lin Yao didn’t think it had anything to do with her, so she didn’t pay attention to the specific selection method.

Affected by the anxious mood of the crowd, she also began to feel nervous, and even unconsciously grabbed the arm of the person next to her.

The person who normally stood next to her was usually Jiang Mingshu, but today…it wasn’t Jiang Mingshu, but rather Hot Pot Is Too Hot!

Lin Yao was surprised to find that Hot Pot Is Too Hot froze at her touch.

Lin Yao looked up at him, but Hot Pot Is Too Hot still had on that funny reindeer headgear so she couldn’t see his expression, but, judging from his stiff muscles, Lin Yao thought he seemed really nervous.

How strange, they had just finished three dances together, and, when dancing the third dance, he had grabbed her waist nonchalantly… but right now he was starting to get nervous?

Or perhaps he had been sleepwalking before, and now he was sober?

Or was it that he didn’t want to be seen getting too intimate with Lin Yao in front of everyone present?

It made no sense. He was dressed up as a reindeer, so who else would recognize him?

If it weren’t for the fact that they stood close to each other when providing their signatures, and Lin Yao had watched him write down his ID name, there was no way she could have guessed that the reindeer was Hot Pot Is Too Hot!

She made an indignant sound, and then let go of his hand indifferently.

Hot Pot Is Too Hot silently took a few steps back and kept a distance from her.

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment. She couldn’t figure out what trick he was playing, so she silently looked away.

The female netizens who came to attend the Hang Citynight Masquerade were all dressed to the nines, and the male netizens all spontaneously followed their favorite goddess around.

For example, the enchantress Little Guliang had countless male netizens surrounding her.

For example, Jiang Mingshu, the sexy and seductive cat girl, also had a group of people gathered beside her, and almost rivaled Little Guliang.

Glutinous Rice Candy, Snow Angel, and other attractive, well-known female netizens were also quite popular.

Lin Yao glanced around, but couldn’t guess who would become the Hang City Star.
