Love You Till the End-Chapter 976 - 975: Why Aren’t You Moving at All?

"Oh, I mean." Su Jiuyi suddenly remembered this matter too. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two, she hastily explained, "It’s really nice to find someone. I wouldn’t want to dance with anyone else. What if I accidentally stepped on someone’s shoe, and they asked me to pay? That wouldn’t be good."

She rambled on and then tried to skip the topic: "Why hasn’t the host announced the end yet?"

Just as Su Jiuyi finished her sentence, the piercing sound of a microphone being switched on came from the host’s platform.

"Time is up, many guests have probably found the dance partner they believe is right for them. Now, let’s ask the lighting engineer to turn on the lights. Everyone, please take a good look at the person opposite you, and see if they are still your original dance partner."

Beams of light slowly lit up along with the snap of the host’s fingers, layer by layer, like petals in full bloom, and finally, the colorful lights shone onto the center of the stage, casting dazzling colors on the floor.

Shi Aoju lowered his head to look at Su Jiuyi under the lights. Her mask was tinted with brilliant colors, her eyes filled with dazzling light, delicate and brilliant as if a galaxy had been placed within them.

Perhaps due to the joyful mood, Su Jiuyi felt that Shi Aoju looked more radiant than usual, and she had an inexplicably strong urge to embrace him.

As if the darkness once experienced were trials people on the quest for love must endure, only after overcoming those inscrutable difficulties and brushing past those with whom they have no fate, can they find their most precious match.

She somewhat understood the deeper meaning hidden behind this game.

At this moment, Su Jiuyi realized that Shi Aoju’s steps hadn’t moved at all.

"Why aren’t you moving?" she asked curiously.

Shi Aoju averted his face with a cool demeanor and said blandly, "Too lazy."

This person’s temperament was indeed peculiar, at times nice, and at other times treating you like a cold stranger.

Others on the dance floor also saw the person standing opposite them. Some cheered enthusiastically, while others gasped in surprise. Few people could find their real dance partner because their hearts weren’t truly connected.

Like Song Zhike, he symbolically took a couple of steps in the dance floor, met no one, and simply stood still waiting, ultimately, no one came to take his hand.

As for Su Manning, someone else had grabbed her hand. Though she knew it was definitely not Song Zhike, the moment the lights came on confirmed her thoughts.

"Sorry miss, you are not the person I am looking for."

Su Manning shook her head to indicate she didn’t mind. Looking past his shoulder, she happened to see Song Zhike not far away, watching her with a calm expression.

"But, could the lady leave her name?" The man seemed unwilling to let her go, "Perhaps we truly are as the host suggested."

Su Manning certainly understood what he meant, but she wasn’t interested in discussing that so-called legend with a stranger.

"Sorry, I have to go." She withdrew her hand from his and lifted her skirt to head in Song Zhike’s direction.

Xiao Chen’s hand hung awkwardly in mid-air. He smiled slightly and discreetly placed his hand back behind him, heading towards the garden outside the dance floor.
