Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Face-Slapping Group Online 2

Qin Jinyu’s sharp voice, like a duck being strangled, was piercing and then abruptly stopped.

Xixi blinked her eyes in astonishment at the man before her.

Qiao Nancheng, dressed in a simple black uniform, extended his palm to her.

His eyes glistened with wetness, his speech stuttering, reddening his honey-toned skin.

But his gaze was so firm.

He knew that he had always been concealed in the shadows, protecting Xixi.

This time, he didn’t want to see Xixi being wronged!

Even if he was mocked, he didn’t care.

"Can I?" He repeated in a faltering voice, his head hanging down a little dejected, like a large wronged canine.

Many girls around became excited.

"I really want to pat his head, whimper..."

"Xixi, say yes quickly!"

"If she won’t dance with you, I will!"

Xixi looked around, then laughed silently to herself.

So Qiaoqiao was this popular; he probably didn’t even realize it.

"Mhm." She nodded vigorously, her smile blooming like a flower.

Qiao Nancheng’s face turned redder.

Warm and dry palms holding soft and delicate little hands, they began to dance to the music.

Both of their dancing skills were mediocre, so they danced the simplest social dance.

Even with simple steps, it was captivating.

The dance ended.

"Qiaoqiao, thanks, I’ll treat you to some meat!"

"No need to thank me."

It was expected to step in for her.

Xixi smiled, her eyes curving, and on her baby-fat cheeks appeared two small dimples.

As she tried to withdraw her hand, Qiao Nancheng’s palm suddenly tightened, enveloping her small hand.

Xixi was startled, "Let go."

Qiao Nancheng’s Adam’s apple moved, and he quickly released her hand.

In a corner she couldn’t see, he clenched his palm, as if trying to retain the lingering warmth for a bit longer...

Just a bit longer...would be enough...

Qin Jinyu glared at Xixi fiercely, as if she wanted to swallow her whole.

The taste of being publicly shamed was not the least bit pleasant!

However, what followed was a voice as gentle as water, hitting her like a thunderbolt—

"Xixi, may I have this dance?" Yan Yichen gave a classical, elegant bow, bending down to invite Xixi.

The auditorium erupted, people’s expressions varied, some were in disbelief, some stunned, but most of all—envious!

Xixi frowned slightly, but Yan Yichen had already taken the initiative to hold her waist and whispered by her delicate ear with a voice as soothing as a spring breeze, "Being lenient to enemies is being cruel to oneself."

Xixi smiled.

With her smile, her eyes seemed to sprinkle with starlight, so clear and bright, making one want to give her the whole world just to preserve this moment of her smile.

Yan Yichen’s eyes could not conceal his admiration, genuinely exclaiming, "You are really beautiful tonight."

He led Xixi in a graceful dance, the two of them like an elegant earl and an elf that had fallen to earth, each movement photo-worthy at any moment.

"Ah, how can the President be so gentle!"

"So handsome! Wuu... Xixi is so lucky!"

"..."

The dance ended.

Qin Jinyu’s face had completely turned pale.

With lips lacking any color, she bit them as she heard another phrase like a nightmare—

"Xixi, may I have this dance?"
