Jiang YuYan : “W…we were kids when I last saw you and now we are….” She wanted to ease the awkwardness she was feeling, so she just continued speaking. She herself didn’t know how the words were coming out of her mouth.
Lu Qiang : “Adults??” He whispered in her ear before she could complete her sentence, taking the advantage of her slow and fumbling speech.
Jiang YuYan : “Cough**Cough! I mean grown ups.” She said while moving her face away to avoid his lips from touching her ear, which was affecting her efforts to keep herself calm and composed. She then said, “So many years have been passed and you are looking very different.”
Lu Qiang : “Or way more handsome than before?” He said in a teasing way
Jiang YuYan : “I didn’t notice.”
Lu Qiang : “Really? Hmmm!! Are you nervous?”
Jiang YuYan : “N..No! Why should I be?”
Lu Qiang : “Then why your heartbeats are so fast?” He said it while caressing inner side of her right hand’s wrist with the thumb of his left hand.
Jiang YuYan : “Huuu?” She moved her head up and looked at him in a surprised way. She was absent minded that she couldn’t notice what he was doing with her wrist. She was just busy in matching her footsteps with his.
He held her wrist tightly in his hand, circling his fingers around her wrist and pressed them lightly on the inner side of it. He looked at her wrist and said, “It feels good to feel your heartbeats like this.”
She moved her eyes in the direction of his sight and looked at her own wrist which he was holding quite tightly. She then looked back at his face straight in his eyes and said mockingly, “Are you nervous too?”
Lu Qiang : “Huuu?” He looked at her raising his one eyebrow in a questioning way.
Jiang YuYan : “When my hand was resting on the left side of your chest moments before, I too felt your heartbeats. They were running faster than a bullet train.” She said without any hesitation. The usual Jiang YuYan was back now. But she didn’t know that it will not last for a long.
He just smiled wickedly and whispered in her ears again. “That’s because….” He took a long pause.
“Huuu?” She was waiting for what he was going to say further.
“…..Of you. You make my heart beat faster everytime I see you.” He said it in a very seductive voice almost touching his lips to her earlobe. He inhaled deeply smelling the scent of her long hair strands which were tucked behind her ear. He really wanted to bite her ear but controlled his desire. He just smiled and moved his face away to look at her. Her eyes were wide open with her lips little parted. It looked like she had forgotten to breath. He kissed her forehead gently, then smiled and said, “Breath!”.
She came back to her senses and inhaled deeply but didn’t know how to react. Just then the song finished and she gave a sigh of relief. Both walked out of the dance floor together. As they reached few meters away from it, Lu LiJun came to his brother with his cousin Wang Peng.
Lu LiJun : Brother Lu Qiang, where were you? He asked while holding the hand of his brother, looking upward at his face.
Lu Qiang : “What happened? I too didn’t see you. Where were you?” He said holding his hand, looking at him while resting his other hand on his small shoulder.
Lu LiJun : “I waited for you. When you didn’t come, I chatted with cousin Wang Peng and told him about my new gaming beast.”
Lu Qiang : “Hmmm.”
Lu LiJun : “Then we went together to search for brother Lu Feng as he too was not here. I asked him to come back here but he said that he will be back after some time.”
Lu Qiang : “Hmmm” He listened everything patiently whatever Lu LiJun wanted to say. It was Lu LiJun’s habit to say everything in one breath to his brother and Lu Qiang too had an habit to listen it patiently.
Lu LiJun’s sight then shifted to Jiang YuYan who was standing next to Lu Qiang. He didn’t say anything just kept staring at her. Lu Qiang noticed it and said, “Lu LiJun, this is Jiang YuYan. My childhood friend.”
Lu LiJun didn’t react much. He then looked back at his brother and totally ignored Jiang YuYan. She thought why she was standing there and was about to leave, suddenly Jiang Yang appeared beside her.
Jiang Yang : “I am sorry to leave you alone there but it was a very important call.” He said apologetically
Jiang YuYan : “It’s ok.”
Jiang Yang : “Thank you for accompanying my sister for the dance, Lu Qiang.”
Lu Qiang : “It was my pleasure.” He looked at Jiang Yang and said it with a smile.
Jiang Yang then gave his sister a teasing look. She rolled her eyes on him and looked in the other direction.
Jiang Yang : “Hi! little man. You must be Lu LiJun?”
Lu LiJun : “Huuu!” He nodded with a smile as saying yes.
Jiang Yang : “You were a cute little baby when I last saw you. You have grown up now.”
Lu LiJun smiled just like his brother and didn’t say much. His behaviour was friendly towards Jiang Yang but he was quite cold towards Jiang YuYan.
Soon, other Lu Siblings joined them.
Lu Lian : “Both of you looked too adorable while dancing.”
Wang Shu : “Yeh! You are right.”
Lu Bao : “Yeh! I really like to see the couples dancing intimately.” She said and winked at Wang Shu and Lu Lian.
“Cough**Cough!” Jiang YuYan Coughed and looked at Lu Qiang but there was no change in his expression as nothing can affect him.
Jiang Yang : “Yeh! I too. What a lovely site to see.” He looked at Jiang YuYan who frowned back at him.
Wang Peng : “Ya! Count me in. It was the first time when brother Lu Qiang took someone to the dance floor.”
