Chapter 57- Cheat

After everyone settled down in their seats, the host began his speech.

Host: Thank you everyone for attending the party tonight. I am honored to have all of you as my guests tonight. In tonight's party, we will have a dance competition. For those who came with companions, you two will be dance partners. For those who came alone, we have set you up with the person next to you to be your partner. Only those who came alone would have the choice to opt out from the dance part of tonight's party. We will be giving the best dancing partners a special gift! Enjoy the fun!

After the host raised for a toast, many tables sighed in relief and some tables had noises of arguments. Zhi Hei looked at Shi Xue's dazed expression and decided to excuse themselves to the host. Shi Xue held onto his arm and shook her head indicating she wanted to stay. Even though he wanted to ask her what happened in the bathroom, he didn't dare do it at the party. He glanced at Shi Xue who had her eyes on another table. When he followed her gaze, his eyes constricted... she was staring at Shi Qi Wing and Ku Ze Yang who were laughing heartily to each other. Zhi Hei's hands clenched to a fist as his heart began to race.

"Shi Xue, are you alright?" he whispered

"Yeah..." her eyes focused on the laughing couple.

"Do you want to go home?"

"No. not for now."

Zhi Hei sighed softly as he stared at Shi Xue who was acting strangely.

Most guests at the party attended alone so when one partner is unwilling to participate in the dance competition, the other has no choice, but to sit and watch. There were 15 pairs who walked up to the center of the room while holding their partners hand waiting for the signal to begin dancing. The rules of this competition is to dance until the music ends in the most elegant posture and the pair is eliminated once the partner makes the wrong move or steps onto the others foot.

Zhi Hei: "Are you sure you are alright to dance?"

Shi Xue "Yea.. don't worry" she smiled gently

He smiled back and held her in place.

After the music began, couples began to twirl around the room. Some pairs lacked chemistry and had already been eliminated the first 10 minutes of the competition. Over the next 20 minutes, some pairs tripped over another, some got tired and forfeited and some lost interest in dancing. Soon, there were only two pairs remaining. Shi Qi Wing and Ku Ze Yang. Vs. Shi Xue and Zhi Hei.

Shi Xue noticed that they were the only two pairs left in the competition. She whispered followed by an enchanting smile to Zhi Hei " I want that prize" He chuckled seeing his wife requesting that she wanted to win. He whispered back "As you wish"

At first, Zhi Hei was worried that Shi Xue would have trouble in following the dance moves since they didn't practice it at home after she woke up from their coma. Since she forgot her past, her dancing techniques may have been forgotten. To both of their surprises, Shi Xue managed to match Zhi Hei's rhythm perfectly.

Shi Qi Wing kept her glamorous smile since the beginning of the dance and would talk to Ze Yang as they go. Nobody heard what they were speaking about, but Shi Xue's sharp ears picked up their voices. At first their conversation were just mushy talk and kind of disgusting. Then, it slowly became small tricks to make other pairs trip and make mistakes. These small tricks such as rolling a bead from one of their hands were so quick that barely anyone would be able to see it. The lightings were dimmed so it made it harder for people to see clearly even if they did see a bead on the floor.

Shi Xue gave a wicked smile that lasted for a few seconds that only Zhi Hei noticed. Seeing his wife having fun and their rival is the dog couple, his interest rose.

Shi Xue: "Follow my movements from this second onwards"

Zhi Hei smiled "Sure"

People were amused by Zhi Hei and Shi Xue's dance as they no longer remained in the small areas where they've been dancing in. Shi Xue would take large steps and twist her body to the left and right making an elegance appearance. People began to cheer for their magnificent dance with excitement.

On the other hand, Qi wing clenched her teeth as all her small tricks failed to eliminate Zhi Hei's pair. Her expression no longer remained calm as she heard cheers from the guests for the other pair.

Qi Wing whispered "Ugh, we must win! must become tonight's best dancing couple!"

Ku Ze Yang "Qi Wing, we don't need to do that to gain the spotlight."

Qi Wing: "No, at first this was for fun and I would quit after all couples were eliminated. but this bitch keeps avoiding my beads successfully that it pisses me off!!"

Ku Ze Yang sighed inwardly as he knew how jealous Qi Wing could get when it comes to other females who seemed better than her. He took a quick glance at Shi Xue and a sense of familiarity distracted his attention.

Qi Wing: "Why are you looking at that woman? Your partner is me"

Ku Ze Yang: "She looks familiar"

Qi Wing: "Every girl to you is familiar does that mean you want to flirt? HUH?"

Qi Wing had a small habit of tapping her foot when she gets angry. Shi Xue saw how Qi Wing was raising her foot a bit too high for a dance move, so she kicked the bead that Qi Wing had used earlier to where she's about to stomp onto.

*Whooosh* Qi Wing's world spun upside down. Her dress flipped up and her lingerie was exposed as Ze Yang stood there blankly. Zhi Hei gave a small laugh that only Shi Xue saw. She smiled heartily and hugged him by his neck as she wrapped on leg around his waist and spread her other arm out. Her face was full of confidence as she looked Zhi Hei in the eyes.

-DING DING DING-

Host: "We have a winner! let's give both pairs a round of applause as both did very well in dancing for that long. especially mr.huang's pair, your female companion is very smooth in dance moves. very elegant and noble."

Ze Yang quickly helped Qi Wing up and brushed her dress back down. She was so embarrassed that she could die.
