I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 245 Hui Niang, Let’s Dance Together

Even though Shen Lang had just hugged Hui Niang, Yang Chongwu did not drive him out of the house.

When Yang Chongwu learned that Shen Lang was Hui Niang's classmate and friend, he not only warmly invited him to sit inside the house, but also thoughtfully served him steaming hot tea.

Hui Niang was still in a state of confusion. She looked at the man who called himself Jacky with suspicion and asked in confusion, "Are you really Jacky?"

It was because she felt that the person in front of her had nothing in common with the Jacky in her memory. The difference between the two was so huge that they were like two completely different people!
How could she believe it easily with such a huge contrast?
Facing Hui Niang's questioning, Shen Lang looked confident.

Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded vigorously, responding with conviction, "Yes, have you really forgotten me completely? Back then, we were close friends who could talk about anything!"

At this point, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face. "Although time flies, and we haven't met for many years, your every smile, voice, and appearance are always deeply engraved in my heart. Even if it's only for a moment, I have never forgotten it."

Hearing this, Yang Chongwu on the side was so shocked that he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk.

He choked and started coughing violently. As he coughed, he thought to himself, "What on earth is going on? Could it be that when my wife was in a foreign country, some unknown story happened between her and this guy?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

At this moment, Hui Niang hurriedly explained, "Oh, don't let your imagination run wild! There were only a few Chinese students studying abroad at that time, and everyone in a foreign land naturally supported each other and clung to each other for warmth. Don't worry!"

He looked at Shen Lang again, "By the way, Jacky, do you still remember my English name?"

Shen Lang confidently replied, "Why ask? Of course I remember! It's Diana, after all. I've always remembered this name and never forgotten it. Did you forget your English name after you got married?"

After hearing what Shen Lang said, Hui Niang felt even more confused.

Although her name was indeed Diana, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not find any trace of memory about Shen Lang.

However, she returned to China early, and due to the inconvenience of communication, the two lost contact and never heard from each other again.

Hui Niang added, "But you look so different from what I remembered."

"After so many years, your appearance has changed." Shen Lang replied, "But you are still as beautiful as ever. There is no sign of aging at all. You really know how to take care of yourself."

At this time, Yang Chongwu next to him asked, "Brother Shen, are you married?"

"Of course I'm married." Shen Lang said with a smile, "My wife is also in Hangzhou now, but I didn't bring her to visit because I didn't know if I could see Hui Niang."

Hearing this, Yang Chongwu felt relieved.

It’s good that he has his wife. It seems that he just came to reminisce with his wife.

At this moment, someone outside shouted: "Master Yang, Master Yang..."

Yang Chongwu stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look. Madam, you and Mr. Shen can continue to chat about the past."

"Okay, you go and get busy first." Hui Niang nodded.

After Yang Chongwu left, she turned to Shen Lang with a serious expression and said slowly, "Jacky, is your last name really Shen? Why don't I have any impression of it? I can't remember your last name Shen."

Shen Lang sighed softly and replied slowly, "My surname is Shen. Could it be that you have forgotten me to such an extent?"

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh again, and continued, "But now that you're married to someone else, if you still dwell on the past, it would damage your reputation and be inappropriate."

Hui Niang frowned slightly and said softly, "Since you know I'm a married woman, you shouldn't hug me like that anymore. Otherwise, it will only make me feel uneasy and uncomfortable."

Shen Lang's face was filled with shame, and he quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm truly ashamed. Perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other for so many years, and I couldn't control myself for a moment, and my emotions were agitated. Please don't blame me."

After a brief pause, he added, "However, over the years, I have never forgotten you for a single moment." Hearing this, Hui Niang remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "As you just said, we are both married now, and the past is ultimately a thing of the past. I'm afraid dwelling on the past isn't a good idea."

Shen Lang nodded, expressing his agreement, and said, "What Hui Niang said is absolutely right."

He then took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and continued, "I came here this time, firstly, to meet you again, and secondly, to dance with you once again, so as to put to rest the longing I've been holding in my heart. I wonder if you can grant me this request?"

"Dance with...dance with me?" Upon hearing this, Hui Niang's face instantly flushed and she looked a little flustered and awkward.

Shen Lang smiled and nodded gently, then said slowly, "Yes, I am very much looking forward to dancing with you again. I have been waiting for this dance for more than ten years. I sincerely hope that you can agree to my request."

Hui Niang raised her eyes to meet his gaze full of sincere affection, and a ripple appeared in her heart, but she did not try to delve too much into whether the man in front of her was really her former classmate and friend.

She also secretly thought that maybe it was because time had passed so long that she had forgotten him in the long river of memory.

After a brief and tangled hesitation.

Hui Niang finally opened her red lips and said slowly, "Since you've taken the trouble to come all the way here, and since we haven't seen each other for many years, it's difficult for me to refuse your request. However, it's not convenient here with so many people around. How about we move to the backyard?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang quickly responded, "Please lead the way, Hui Niang."

Hui Niang felt a little uneasy, fearing that this action would cause Yang Chongwu to have unnecessary misunderstandings or thoughts.

She walked extremely carefully along the way, taking light lotus steps, leading Shen Lang through the winding path to the relatively secluded backyard.

This place is full of colorful flowers and shady green trees. The breeze brings bursts of delicate floral fragrance.

After the two of them stood still, Hui Niang took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the fragrance in the garden into her nose, in order to calm her heart which was a little panicked by Shen Lang's arrival.

After a slight adjustment, she opened her red lips and said softly, "You came to visit me today. To be honest, I am really happy. Let's dance together to put an end to the past."

A sincere and unreserved smile immediately appeared on Shen Lang's face.

He quickly responded, "For a gentle and charming beauty like you, Hui Niang, I have only respect and admiration for you. How could I dare to harbor even the slightest evil thought?"

After that, he bowed slightly, put his right hand forward in a standard invitation gesture, and said, "Please."

Upon seeing this, Hui Niang nodded slightly to show her agreement.

She gracefully extended her jade hand, placed her left hand on Shen Lang's right hand, and gently placed her right hand on Shen Lang's shoulder, then responded softly: "Please."

Shen Lang held Hui Niang's soft hand firmly with his right hand, and carefully embraced her slender back with his left hand.

Although music is absent, it does not affect the tacit cooperation between the two at all.

Following each other's light steps, they danced in this quiet courtyard like two dancing butterflies.

Whether it is the graceful steps when moving forward or the light and elegant steps when moving backward; whether it is the graceful steps when walking sideways or the agile and graceful steps when turning, every movement is so harmonious and smooth, it can be said to be seamless.

As she was dancing, Hui Niang suddenly felt something was wrong.

I felt as if an electric current was flowing through my body.

Crispy and numb...
