Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

It's probably because he drank alcohol.

Chen Chen was unusually sentimental today.

Lin Muxi slightly raised her head, her cheeks flushed slightly from the food and red wine, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation:
"How come it's different?"

Chen Chen gently took Lin Muxi's hand, which was resting on the dining table, and tenderly stroked the back of her hand with his thumb:

"In the past, my life was simple and mundane, and I followed the routine every day."

But since you came into my life, it has been filled with surprises and warmth.

Just like now, having a meal with you makes me feel incredibly happy.

Lin Muxi felt as if a feather had gently brushed against her heart, leaving her with a tingling, numb sensation.

She lowered her head slightly, concealing the overflowing emotion in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile:

"Senior, me too. I feel so happy every moment I spend with you."

Chen Chen smiled and gently squeezed Lin Muxi's hand:

"From now on, no matter what happens, let's always stay together like this, okay?"

Lin Muxi nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with determination: "Okay, definitely!"

At this moment, the music in the restaurant changed to a more soothing and romantic tune.

Upon hearing this music, Lin Muxi immediately became interested.

Lin Muxi tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at Chen Chen, her gaze full of anticipation. Her voice was soft yet brimming with excitement as she asked:

"Senior, would you like to dance?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously repeated:
"Dance?"

Lin Muxi nodded vigorously, and added with a smile:

"That's right, ballroom dancing. Come to think of it, we've never danced together before."

Chen Chen showed a slightly troubled expression and frankly said:
"But I'm not very good at ballroom dancing."

Speaking of basketball or other sports, Chen Chen is quite skilled and adept at them.

However, dancing... did pose a challenge for him.

Lin Muxi didn't care at all. She gently took Chen Chen's hand and said in a light and gentle tone:

"What does it matter, senior? I can teach you, I guarantee you'll learn quickly."

Looking at Lin Muxi's expectant eyes, Chen Chen couldn't bear to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.
"Okay, let's give it a try."

Lin Muxi happily stood up, walked to Chen Chen's side, gently took his hand, and placed her other hand on Chen Chen's shoulder, her eyes focused and earnest:
"Senior, first of all, you need to relax and not be too nervous. Just follow my rhythm."

Chen Chen took a deep breath and tried his best to relax, but his body still felt stiff involuntarily.

Lin Muxi sensed his nervousness and chuckled softly:
"Senior, just treat this as a fun experiment and relax."

Guided by Lin Muxi, Chen Chen slowly took his first step.

Although his steps were a little clumsy and awkward, with Lin Muxi's patient guidance, he gradually found his footing.

However, the two had only taken a couple of steps when Chen Chen's foot accidentally stepped on Lin Muxi's foot in a panic.

Fortunately, Chen Chen reacted quickly. As soon as his foot touched Lin Muxi's foot, he hurriedly pulled his foot back as if he had been electrocuted.

After all that trouble, Lin Muxi was thankfully unharmed.

Chen Chen looked at Lin Muxi somewhat awkwardly and smiled helplessly:

"See? I'm really bad at dancing."

Seeing Chen Chen's embarrassed and self-reproachful expression, Lin Muxi couldn't help but chuckle. She gently took Chen Chen's hand and comforted him:
"It's okay, senior. This is just the beginning. Everyone has their moments of confusion and disarray. You see, when I was learning to dance as a child, I often fell and got injured all over."

Looking at Lin Muxi's radiant smile, Chen Chen's embarrassment gradually dissipated, replaced by a feeling of warmth and gratitude.

He took a deep breath, a renewed determination rekindling in his eyes, and said:

"Then I'll try again. I can't keep being so clumsy in front of you."

Even the stream would go to the fields for him, wash its hands, and cook for him.

He could naturally keep up with the rhythm of the stream.

A hint of approval flashed in Lin Muxi's eyes. She took a small step back, assumed a dance pose, and said gently and patiently:
"Okay, senior, follow my rhythm. First, step out with your left foot, yes, like that, then turn your body slightly to the right..."

Under Lin Muxi's careful guidance, Chen Chen worked hard to adjust his pace and movements.

Although he occasionally made some minor mistakes, he was always able to react quickly and try his best to keep up with Lin Muxi's pace.

Gradually, the two began to work together more seamlessly. To the sound of romantic music, their figures moved slowly across the dance floor, as if they had become one.

Fortunately, Chen Chen had booked a private room.

Otherwise, it's easy to become the center of attention.

Lin Muxi looked up at him with a smile and asked:

"Senior, how are you feeling? Don't you find dancing not so difficult after all?"

Chen Chen lowered his head slightly, his gaze meeting Lin Muxi's, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, returning her a bright smile:

"It's not difficult at all, probably because I have such an excellent teacher like you by my side."

As he spoke, he gently grasped Lin Muxi's hand and led her to spin around in the dance floor.

After finishing the dance, the two returned to their seats, both with satisfied smiles on their faces.

At this moment, the waiter brought over a delicate little cake and placed it on the table:

"This is a dessert from our restaurant for you two. We hope you enjoy your meal."

Lin Muxi looked at the pretty little cake in front of her with delight, while Chen Chen smiled and thanked the waiter.

Then he picked up a spoon, scooped out a small bite of cake, and brought it to Lin Muxi's lips:
"Try it."

Lin Muxi took a small bite, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth:

"Mmm, it's delicious. Senior, you should have some too."

As she spoke, she scooped out a spoonful and fed it to Chen Chen.

In this sweet atmosphere, time seemed to slow down.

They continued to enjoy the beautiful night, savoring every moment spent together, as if this moment could last forever, without end.

Before we knew it, night had quietly fallen, and the inky sky was like a huge piece of silk, gently wrapping all things in the world.

Lin Muxi said to Chen Chen with reluctance, "Senior, let's go home."

She thought to herself, "I really can't let Chen Chen stay up all night again tonight."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and lightly squeezed Lin Muxi's hand in return, saying:
"Okay, let's go back then."

The two walked out of the Western restaurant hand in hand.

The streets at night were bathed in a warm yellow light from the streetlights, and a few gentle breezes occasionally swept by, bringing a touch of coolness.

They walked side by side to the car, just as the designated driver leisurely rode up on his scooter. (End of Chapter)
