Chapter 1261: Chapter 1165: Dance with Me

Xia Yangyang walked into the crowd.

Amidst the scent of elegant attire and whispers, men and women were exchanging private words, talking about love.

Some were dancing gracefully on the dance floor.

Others were holding wine glasses, admiring the seascape from the deck.

Xia Yangyang had no interest in the scenery, her only desire was to weave through the crowd to find Phoenix’s trace.

Lu Haotian trailed behind Xia Yangyang, never too far nor too close.

But despite searching for quite a while, Xia Yangyang hadn’t caught sight of Phoenix, nor had she seen Li Zhiqian.

It seemed they hadn’t come to this dance party.

Xia Yangyang felt somewhat disheartened.

They had searched through the most enjoyable sightseeing spots on the cruise ship that day.

But in the end, they hadn’t found the slightest clue.

Where could they possibly be now?

If they weren’t out for fun, then what was Phoenix’s purpose for boarding this cruise ship?

The more Xia Yangyang thought about it, the more worried she became.

Unconsciously, she had walked to the edge of the deck.

Xia Yangyang gripped the railing,

Looking out at the boundless sea.

The sea was truly vast, with waves surging.

Even a cruise ship as large as this seemed as small as a leaf in the ocean’s expanse.

And above, the sky was filled with countless stars.

Like numerous shards of silver, scattered far and wide.

Where sky met the sea was dyed as though ink was spilled, deep black turning to blue.

That profound color was like a bottomless black hole in the depths of one’s heart, filled with fear and darkness.

Lu Haotian brought over two glasses of red wine, "Don’t worry too much. The chances of finding them on the first day were slim anyway, and not finding them isn’t a bad thing—it means nothing has happened yet."

Xia Yangyang glanced at Lu Haotian, took the glass of red wine from his hand, and said, "But by the time something does happen, it’ll be too late. What can be done then?"

To be honest, they really couldn’t think of a better strategy at the moment.

It was entirely up to luck now.

Xia Yangyang sipped her red wine.

Lu Haotian said, "The view here is beautiful, isn’t it?"

The scenery was indeed beautiful, but Xia Yangyang had no interest in admiring it.

"Yangyang, dance with me,"

Lu Haotian put down his glass and unexpectedly struck an inviting pose.

Xia Yangyang was slightly taken aback.

Then she declined, "I can’t dance."

Lu Haotian laughed lightly, "How can you not know how? I taught you the waltz."

"I’m sorry, it’s been too long, I don’t remember it. If you really want to dance, there are plenty of single women on the deck."

Lu Haotian retracted his hand, "You really haven’t given me any face at all."

Xia Yangyang didn’t say anything more.

At that moment, Xia Yangyang’s phone rang.

She hurriedly took out her phone from her handbag.

It was a video call from Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

Then she said to Lu Haotian, "I need to take a call."

Xia Yangyang walked a few steps away to a relatively quiet corner of the deck and then answered the video call.

After the video call connected,

Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang and suddenly asked, "What are you wearing?"

Xia Yangyang smiled, intentionally holding the phone a little farther away, and said, "It’s an evening gown. How does it look, nice?"

Gu Qichen replied, "It looks nice, but why are you wearing an evening gown?"

Gu Qichen also noticed that Xia Yangyang’s current background was out of the ordinary.

The video showed elegantly dressed men and women passing by.

There was a mix of various loud music.

Most importantly, Gu Qichen saw the stars and sea in the background.

Gu Qichen’s brow furrowed, "Yangyang, where are you right now?"
