Their dates could see their partner's eyes wandering around Nana. They looked at her in jealousy and hatred.
One of the dates said angrily, "You should be careful about her. This is what is called seducing. Another word of them is a howrecker."
Almost everybody found her beautiful. They couldn't help but admire her even in those plain clothes.
Suyin hadn't expected this. They were so srized with her that her background was not even the part of their discussion.
---
Chen Jianyu took her hand and gently held her by her waist.
Nana stiffened.
"Don't be nervous. Just do as I say."
"Okay."
"When I take my right leg back, you bring your left leg forward. And then the sa with the opposite leg. Got it?"
"I think so."
They started dancing and Nana tried to follow Jianyu. She was clumsy at first, but then she slowly got the hang of it.
Mother Chen was very happy to see them.
Suyin tried hard not to distort her face in anger.
Huian was also surprised to see them.
"I didn't think I would get to see this day. Jianyu dancing with another girl."
"En."
Suddenly sobody vigorously started shaking Jinhai's shoulder.
"Hey hey. Do you know the girl who is dancing with Jianyu?"
Jinhai turned and said, "Dad. Are you finally done eating? Are you even hungry for dinner?"
"Well yes. I have a big appetite. But don't divert the topic. Tell who is she?"
Suddenly so took his arm. "What are you doing here! Are you not going to ask for a dance? You have already wasted so much ti eating, which I admit was delicious but still!"
He said sheepishly, "Hehe. I was going to ask you now." He took her, kissed it and said, "May I have the honor, my dear wife?"
"After I reminded you?", His wife glared.
"Please give so face." He pleaded.
"Hmph. I will have to. And Huian and Jinhai. You to go for another round. How could just one dance be enough?"
Jinhai said, "Okay."
Both couples started dancing.
After so ti, the emcee ca and announced.
"Alright, ladies and gentlen. Now it's a fun ti. We will play a little ga. From consensus, we have decided to trouble our couple a little."
Everybody cheered.
"So here are the rules. The music will start playing. First, everybody will dance with their own dates. After a minute, the male partner will twirl his female companion, and in whoever arms, she ends up with, that new pair has to dance. Then again after another minute, the new male partner will twirl the new lady. This will go on until the music stops. Mr. and Mrs. Liu's aim is to anyhow co back together after being separated to have the last dance when the music stops. And the music won't be tid for them to co back together. It will just stop randomly. So let's see how strong our couple's luck is!"
Everybody clapped loudly.
"Such an interesting ga!"
"This will be fun!"
Nana said in a panic, "How will I dance with other n?"
"It's alright. Your teacher has taught you everything. You will pass with full marks.", Jianyu chuckled.
"Is everybody ready?", the emcee asked.
"YES!"
The music started playing. Everybody started dancing.
After one minute, the n twirled their partners.
Jianyu got paired with Mother Liu. Huian with Father Chen. Jinhai with Mother Chen.
And Nana with Father Liu.
"Ho ho ho, we et again!", he cheerfully said.
Nana raised her head to look at the man.
And was dumbfounded.
The cab driver? What is he doing here? Andhow co he has worn so nice clothes?
"Youuncle!", Nana exclaid.
"Yes. Glad that you rember-"
"The cab driver uncle! What are you doing here?"
Cough cough cough! I see you still rember that.
"Well, forget about . And what about you?", Father Liu tried to change the topic.
"Oh. I am in charge of the catering here.", she said.
He widened his eyes. And left his mouth hanging open.
"What? You...you are the caterer?", he asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
After a long pause, he laughed heartily.
"So you are the one! No wonder I found the starters so delicious and familiar.", he praised. "Now I'm even more excited about dinner!"
"Thank you, Uncle."
Nana then accidentally stepped on his left foot.
She widened her eyes in horror and imdiately apologized, "I'm so sorry uncle. I'm really new to this dancing. Are you hurt?"
"Its alright lad. Don't worry at all. I have been more hurt than this. By my wife's hands.", and he laughed at his own joke.
Her mouth twitched.
Father Liu took slow steps for her to dance easily.
"And by the way, will you please make that delicious ran for again? I am so in love with it. I had craving for it so many tis already.", he sulked.
She giggled. "Anyti uncle."
His eyes shone.
"Thanks! Oh, and did you think about it?"
"About what?"
"My second son! Didn't I tell you that ti that you both would be such a great match!"
""
"The one who is younger than you. Rember?"
"" I do now!
"Well you see", she was in a serious crisis now!
Just then the minute was over and they had to twirl their partners.
Father Liu scowled. Such bad timing! Again!
Nana was relieved. Phew! That was a close call.
After the switch took place, Jianyu ended up with Suyin.
