The Stars In Your Eyes - Chapter 188
Bai Yutang has never ever danced in public before, not even to mention that his lover asked him to dance on the dance floor, along with the sea of colorful butterflies and bees. The only dance he ever performed was when he gave his lover the birthday gift, the incredibly ugly striptease.
If this is someone else than his lover asking him, he will absolutely refuse. But Bai Yutang saw his lover, with a flustered face after doing some kind of piggy dance with his sister and the girls.
Jian Kang Lu’s face is not red, but the thin sweat layering his skin glistening like crystal in a dark cave. The green laser light occasionally passed by, biased by the beads of water on his temples, brightened the sparkling stars inside the peach blossom eyes of him.
His lips slightly opened, pursued for more oxygen, illuminated with intermittent light, it was pink tinted with the dilated blood vessel from the night exercise.
Jian Kang Lu slightly bowed in front of Bai Yutang, his top two button was opened, slightly revealing his strong collarbone. A masculine aura emitted from his whole body, enveloped Bai Yutang with warmth and expectation.
How could Bai Yutang reject this man? Even though reluctantly, he still grabbed those slender hands that used to carefully examine patients everyday.. Without words, he stands up and follows his lover to the dance floor.
Sun Hongjia shouted, “The mighty emperor!!!”
Jian Kang Lu raised his eyebrow once he heard that, not knowing that his naughty kitten just mentioned him as the mighty empress.
The DJ is now playing Like I Do from David Guetta, a very popular song in the club. Unfortunately Bai Yutang and Jian Kang Lu weren’t familiar with it, but the tune is easy to follow.
Bai Yuren hopping to her brother’s side, and soon the girls circling around them. Her face is red and sweat drops from her temples to her cheek. Bai Yutang could only stand and follow his lover’s lead.
Sometimes Sun Hongjia who sat like a king on the sofa will throw peanuts at them, and Jian Kang Lu sometimes even opens his mouth to try to catch the peanut. This leads the girls to laugh out loud and clap their hands if Jian Kang Lu manages to catch one.
Bai Yutang could feel the energy circled around him. He really admired his lover. Jian Kang Lu knows when he needs to be a reserved gentleman, strict mature man, respectable teacher, and also a clown to entertain the crowd.
The people near their table looking at these crowds who didn’t really stand out for their appearance, yet clearly now shining out from the others with their fun energy. Some people came to the club to try to be someone popular and stand out among these beautiful butterflies and bees. Yet the most stood out is this humble dressed person.
If someone looks clearly, they will also notice the big muscled men with black suits and black shirts standing unnoticeably few steps from this fun hopping danced people, guarding them, making sure no one makes funny movements and disturbing these young masters and ladies.
The song changed into another one, and they noticed Luo Yan and Song Lixia walking towards them, join the fun.
“Long time didn’t see you sweep the dance floor, Jian Ge!” Song Lixia shouted to them.
The DJ next played Calvin Harris’s song, One Kiss. The beat is a bit sexy. This lead Song Lixia shows her glory days moves on the dance floor with her husband.
Jian Kang Lu shouted back, “Come TangTang, shows these two expired uncle and auntie how to dance!”
While the pair of husband and wife do a sexy dance with Song Lixia’s hips wrapped tightly on Luo Yan’s arms, Jian Kang Lu holds Bai Yutang’s hand and does the silly tango style dance. Bai Yutang who didn’t even know how to tango clumsily just walk to the left and front, following Jian Kang Lu’s steps.
Their dance is so silly yet Bai Yuren and YingYing soon follow them. Feng Mian and Fei Hong do the three people tango dance with Tang Yuxuan. They laughed yet didn’t stop their steps.
The result of this unsynchronised dance with the music led to the chaotic movement. Even though it’s ugly, people who saw it clearly felt their happiness. Unrestrained wave from pure ecstasy.
They danced for the next five songs, and then Jian Kang Lu said he wanted to go back upstairs. “This uncle is already old, can’t dance anymore.” He waved his hand to the girls.
The girls are also tired even though they are still energetically hopping. YingYing softly said to Bai Yuren, “Let’s go back upstairs too, RenRen.”
These bunch of people then walk upstairs and gulping glass after glass of iced mineral water. Jian Kang Lu topped up his alcohol, and offered his kitten to drink some.
Bai Yuren and the others also raised their glass and toast. Next they used the karaoke facility in the private room and showed their ungifted voice. Surprisingly, the only people with acceptable voices are only Bai Yutang, Bai Yuren, and Liu Xiang.
Bai Yutang can’t help but cover his face yet laughter slipped from his lips when he heard Jian Kang Lu and Sun Hongjia sang an old song from Guang Liang titled Tong Hua (Fairy Tale). Even Bai Yutang knows this very popular ballad song, with sad lyrics and flowing melody which guaranteed your tears flowing when you hear it at your lowest moment.
I started to panic
Have I done something wrong?
You said to me with full of tears, told me that all fairy tales are just illusion
I will never be your prince
Perhaps you won’t understand
Ever since you said you love me
The stars in my sky has lightened up
I’m willing to become an angel
Of the fairy tale that you love
The song is sad, yet these two men sing it with their screeching voice and out of tune, their gesture also comedic, completed with Sun Hongjia flapping his hands everytime the word angel shows up. The ballad song turns into parody, even Bai Yuren almost cries hearing them.
The song should make people shed tears from sad emotion, yet the people in this room shed their tears due to laughing too much.
Song Lixia then grabbed the microphone from these two old men who didn’t act according to their age. She said with a solemn face, “Let me educate the youngsters here with an eternal song from our fairy, Miss Teng Li Chun.”
Teng Li Chun or known as Teresa Teng is a legendary singer. Song Lixia chose I Only Care About You. She sang it together with her husband. The crowd soon raised their hands and waved along to the music, singing together.
Who doesn’t know this song? Their parents and their grandfathers will often sing this song in the New Year or in the wedding party. An eternal song depicted the eternal love between lovers. The lyrics are so beautiful, simply an adoration to their partner.
Mu Xiaoya then grabbed Yu Dong, “Don’t let them beat us. Let us show them our vast knowledge in art and culture!” Both of them sing Jay Chou, Love Confession.
Yu Dong can’t sing, but he can’t refuse. His life is on the verge of danger if he ever refuses Mu Xiaoya in this kind of circumstances.
They sing until it shows 10 minutes past 2 in the morning. They are all exhausted and then going home. Tang Yuxuan and Liu Xiang politely refuse Sun Hongjia’s offer to send them home. No matter what, it was overkill to have the business prince of this country to send them home.
Bai Yuren and YingYing politely say thank you to these bunch of people who came to accompany them, then they go home together with Jian Kang Lu and Bai Yutang.
Once they reached home, Jian Kang Lu told the girls to wash their face and went to bed.
Once they were inside the room, Bai Yutang stretched his arm, circling Jian Kang Lu’s waist from behind. “Gege.. Thank you very much..”
Jian Kang Lu turned his head, planted a soft kiss to his kitten’s soft damp hair. “I’m the one who should thank you. I had so much fun today.”
Inside the next room, YingYing already washed her face and changed her clothes. Jian Kang Lu told them not to take shower at this hour, and better go to sleep early.
“RenRen.. I feel bad for Jian Ge tonight.. It’s my fault..” Her voice muffled from the pillow she hugged.
Bai Yuren turns her head and smacks her best friend’s butt. “Silly girl. Let’s talk with Jian Ge tomorrow. And it’s not your fault, remember that.”
“By the way..” YingYing didn’t continue her words.
“Hmm? What?” Bai Yuren looks at YingYing with a puzzling face. Her best friend seems to want to say something but seems too afraid. Bai Yuren thought YingYing still felt uneasy and uncomfortable for Jian Kang Lu taking care of them tonight.
The cost of their drink and private room itself must be very expensive. Bai Yuren sneaks to see the prices of the alcoholic drink they have tonight, and the price surely out of her imagination. Each bottle is more expensive than her monthly allowance.
In reality, that’s not what YingYing wants to say. She wants to ask about Bai Yutang’s extreme closeness with Jian Kang Lu, but she doesn’t know how to bring this topic to her best friend.
Girls are okay to be seen hugging each other, or even kissing each other. But not the same with boys. Moreover, YingYing saw how Jian Kang Lu hugged Bai Yutang from behind when they danced, even though it was very brief.
Their face at that time clearly showed it was not the intimacy between brothers, but the gentle sparks between lovers. A soft wave of amorous look and gentle understanding between two souls bind with the red strings of fate.
