Chapter 13 Dinner Together_1
Before it even started, countless young men began whistling.
Chi Xingye nodded to the girl next to her, who readily started playing the prepared music.
Suddenly, a lively and fiery dance track filled the air.
Once Chi Xingye struck her first dance pose, the cheers began to rise.
She was dancing the Latin.
No, it was an exceptional freestyle Latin dance!
Under the strong rhythm, every step she took was wide, every dance move was eye-catching and stunning. Swinging, swirling, shaking her shoulders, opening her arms, twisting her waist - every movement was filled with energy, making her waist seem boneless. She was nimble and at ease like a fish swimming freely in the sea.
Yet, behind the softness was a rigid strength. Every dance pose was brimming with flexible power. Outgoing and bold, sexy and charming, yet in perfect control.
At that moment, the water ball seemed to be her dance partner, or a piece of her dance equipment, perfectly integrated with her. With the swaying of the body, the water ball flowed smoothly on her like water.
Under Chi Xingye's interpretation, the intense, awe-inspiring freestyle Latin dance, left the onlookers impassioned and deeply fascinated. A sequence of 38 consecutive high-difficulty spins directly shocked everyone.
What was even more incredible was that the water ball on her body rotated quickly along her enchanting shoulders as she spun...
Her dazzling freestyle Latin dance performance ended amidst waves of applause and astonishment on the training site.
Chi Xingye made a standard thank-you gesture.
She took a slightly heavy breath, a thin layer of sweat covering her body.
She lifted her beautiful chin, her light yet confident smile under the sunshine was even more dazzling, exuding an irresistible sexiness that left people entranced!
Both of them had succeeded in their challenges, but with completely different visual impacts.
Without a doubt, Chi Xingye's performance was more shocking and eye-catching. People seemed to forget this was a competition. They were so enamored, they hollered for her to dance another round.
Today, Chi Xingye made a name for herself.
Countless people from the Royal Academy of DK remembered her name.
Just 5 days after the start of the semester, she topped the campus official website's hot search list. Afterwards, her popularity remained high, solidifying her status as a… campus celebrity!
She was also crowned with several number ones.
The first person in the history of the Royal Academy of DK to dare to challenge an instructor!
The undisputed leading dancer among the new students at the Royal Academy of DK!
The number one goddess most wanted by the male students of the Royal Academy of DK!
But that's a story for another day.
...
Back at the present.
Chi Xingye had just finished performing when someone with sharp eyes noticed that Instructor Han had suddenly disappeared!
Han Xishi was in the bathroom, looking at the unstoppable nosebleed in the mirror, somewhat dumbfounded.
What happened to him?
He surely hadn't contracted a terminal illness, had he?!
——
"Is Miss Chi in a good mood today?"
The butler noticed Chi Xingye humming a tune with a look of joy on her face as she returned to the castle, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, a very good one."
Chi Xingye didn't hide her pleasant mood. She was rejuvenated by her fortunate turn of events.
The butler seemed infected by her smile, and he smiled: "You're so happy, Miss Chi, why not share what happened, so I can join in the joy."
"It's nothing really. Just some freak instructor at school. I don't know which greater freak is behind the scenes ordering him. These past days of military training, he has been harassing me every day. Today, I finally couldn't stand his bullying anymore and showed my power against the evil force."
Which greater freak?
On hearing her words, Helian Chengyan, coming down the stairs, suddenly halted, his chilled gaze falling upon her.
His handsome face instantly tightened, his eyes icy cold.
"Oh? What was the result?"
Given how happy she looked, the outcome was more or less predictable, but the butler still asked with interest.
"Of course, I taught him a profound lesson. It's not so easy to mess with me. In the end, I defeated him completely!"
Chi Xingye talked about it simply, but when she thought of the cheers that rang out for her at the time, her voice was tinged with a hint of pride.
"Well, that truly is a reason to be happy. I'll arrange for two extra dishes to be added to the dinner menu tonight in celebration!"
"No need, Mr. Wang",
Chi Xingye was a bit embarrassed as the butler took it so seriously.
No sooner did he mention food, than she realized she was hungry. She couldn't help touching her belly.
"Are you hungry, Miss Chi? His Highness is dining at home tonight. Dinner will still be a while. I'll have a servant bring you some snacks to hold you over."
"Ah, he's here too?"
Chi Xingye immediately picked up on the key point and exclaimed.
Why did he keep coming back so frequently these past couple of days?
"Mr. Wang, I'm not hungry at all. In fact, I planned to diet tonight, so I won't be eating."
"Does Miss Chi fear His Highness a lot?" The butler had noticed that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding Helian Chengyan.
"His Highness may seem a bit cold, but he's actually quite nice. The two times you fainted…"
It was His Highness who personally carried you home, then watched as the doctor checked you over before finally leaving at ease…
The words of the butler faded, cut short by an icy command from above the stairs: "Prepare dinner!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The butler bowed and headed off quickly to prepare.
...
Chi Xingye politely greeted him and then prepared to sidestep and move past him, upstairs.
However, no sooner had she started to move when Helian Chengyan's icy yet somewhat fiery voice came from the top of the staircase: "You treat this mansion like a hotel?"
So whimsical!
Chi Xingye looked at him, not understanding his words. She replied honestly: "Your Highness's castle, I wouldn't dare treat it like a hotel."
If only she could treat this place like a hotel!
She wouldn't have to feel so ill at ease every time she saw him, like facing a formidable enemy!
He snorted coldly: "Then you already treat this place as your own home?"
She was shocked!
Why would he say that?
"I have already said, I am just a tenant…" Chi Xingye smiled and reiterated.
"Tenant?" Helian Chengyan looked down at her coldly, "Do you have the manners of a tenant?"
Chi Xingye: ...
How should a tenant behave?
She couldn't help but feel that, today, there was something strange about the way Helian Chengyan looked at her. Yet she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Just as the two of them were in a standoff, the butler broke the embarrassing silence with timely news: "Your Highness, Miss Chi, dinner is ready, please move to the dining room."
Chi Xingye was about to make an excuse to avoid having dinner with him.
The butler seemed to anticipate her intentions. Whether by design or not, he added: "Miss Chi, there is one dish tonight that the old king specifically called and ordered for you. He said that since you started school, you must be using your brain a lot. He wanted us to prepare something to help replenish your noggin…"
Helian Chengyan's eye twitched.
Using her brain a lot?
What did she use it for?
