The elevator reached the first floor, and a person got on and pressed the button.
"Your hands are really at the right time," Jiang Shiyu thought as he put away his phone and glanced at Yun Li, who was huddled in the corner of the elevator.
When they reached the nineteenth floor, Yun Li stepped out without looking back. Jiang Shiyu stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her, then skillfully maneuvered his long fingers to capture her fingertip and scan her fingerprint.
"I was supposed to do this yesterday, but you ran off halfway," he said.
Yun Li remained silent, walking ahead. Jiang Shiyu poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her. She took it without a word, like a wooden doll, expressionless and mute.
Only after she finished drinking did Jiang Shiyu explain, "I went to Yuan Ye; it was for drinks."
Yun Li shot him a glance that seemed to say she didn’t believe him. Receiving the girl’s resentful and distrustful look, Jiang Shiyu smiled lazily and teased, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Qin Nianzhe. That guy often goes with me; wherever I am, he’s sure to be there."
The heavy stone in Yun Li's heart lightened a bit at that. "Oh."
Jiang Shiyu had no intention of lying; he could accept that he had many ex-girlfriends in the past. But he couldn't accept him going to nightclubs.
Men go to nightclubs for nothing more than that kind of thing. Even if she didn't understand it well, she had heard enough about it, especially since Shu Ran often went to nightclubs and described how alluring the women there were. Any man would find it hard to resist.
Yun Li's mood improved slightly but still maintained her pride as she said, "I want to go to school."
Jiang Shiyu chuckled, "Not angry anymore but still want to go to school?"
Yun Li pursed her lips. "I still need to practice."
Jiang Shiyu lazily led her to a door marked with a wooden sign on the white wall beside it: Haohao Exclusive Dance Room.
He opened the door to reveal a clean and transparent mirror inside, clearly reflecting the buildings outside. In the center stood a dance pole, with another pole along the side.
Yun Li stepped inside, the floor covered with specially designed non-slip mats. Turning around, she faced a wall entirely covered with mirrors, reflecting her image.
Soon, a tall and slender figure appeared in the mirror. Yun Li glanced to her left and noticed a yoga mat in the corner, along with thick pads for practicing techniques and some bricks. She placed her hands on the bar, leaning slightly as it bent under her weight before gently returning to its original form when she let go.
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with delight as she turned around. Behind her, the sky was shrouded in a thick gray mist, enveloping several buildings within its heavy embrace. Her bright eyes twinkled like scattered stars, shining brilliantly in that moment.
"You built a dance studio here? It must be for the winter break, right?" Her voice was lively now, free from the earlier daze and gloom.
Jiang Shiyu leaned lazily against the mirror, hands tucked into his pockets, raising an eyebrow in playful acknowledgment.
Experiencing such care and attention during her first relationship was undeniably touching. She rushed over and wrapped her arms around Jiang Shiyu's neck. "You're so thoughtful. I feel like I'm not good enough as your girlfriend."
Jiang Shiyu wrapped one arm around her, his hand resting on the thick down jacket she wore. "Stay over tonight; I'll cook for you."
The suggestion carried a hint of implication, but Yun Li understood that his intention was simply to share a meal he prepared.
She tilted her head to look at him. "Why do you enjoy cooking for others so much?"
Jiang Shiyu lowered his gaze, one arm still around her while he gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear, remaining relaxed against the mirror. "Others don’t have this privilege; this privilege is only for us and Hao Hao."
"But I have classes this afternoon and again tomorrow morning. How about we do it tomorrow instead? My class ends at three."
Jiang Shiyu agreed.
Yun Li practiced in her designated space with Wu Fang, a smile playing on her lips as she kicked with noticeably more strength than before.
