Chapter 729 - 581: Second Update
As everyone on the field danced more and more freely, they also got happier and happier.
Ning Youguang felt a tug at her heartstrings as she looked at them. Her gaze shifted slightly to Shi Wangyue, "Shall we join in and have some fun too?"
Then, she quickly got up and extended her hand to Shi Wangyue, who was sitting steadily on a folding chair, looking at her with raised eyebrows and confusion, "At a time like this, dancing well isn’t important. What matters is participating, being involved."
It’s also healing.
With Ning Youguang’s proactive invitation, it was indeed very easy to bolster the courage of the "Starry" elites who were dancing.
When they saw Ning Youguang inviting Shi Wangyue to dance, they only stayed quiet for a moment before bursting into even louder cheers.
Shi Wangyue didn’t stand up, so Ning Youguang simply pulled him into the crowd, "Let’s experience what it’s like to dance in the wild together."
Shi Wangyue looked at her, a deep helplessness appearing in his eyes, but he did not resist.
The dancers immediately made way for them to create two spots.
Once Ning Youguang pulled Shi Wangyue in, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Ning Youguang smiled and made the first move, "Come on, let’s dance together."
The sun was setting over the western hills, with its afterglow enveloping the earth.
In the distance, the mountain tops were a green pile, adorned with vivid and colorful clouds.
The intoxicating sunlight fell on the delicate and fair face before her eyes. Shi Wangyue watched her radiant and bright smile, and with the cheers around them, he joined in the dance.
The crowd, though initially cheerleading, seemed to tone down their enthusiasm once Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang joined in.
Because with them there, it was truly hard to continue dancing with abandon.
At this moment, many were shocked and thought in complex ways: "The always quiet and reserved Mr. Shi, who never participates in company activities beyond work, actually went to dance with his wife!!!"
——"Teacher Ning is really so considerate! While dancing, she had all her attention on our Mr. Shi."
On her stunningly beautiful face, her expression was gentle enough to capture all souls.
Her smile was charming, and her dance moves graceful.
Seeing her like this, and reflecting on the interaction between her, Mr. Shi, and everyone from yesterday to today, the ’Starry’ elites seemed to understand on a deeper level why in their eyes, in terms of looks, temperament, talent, and wealth, such an admired figure would be so devoted to her alone.
This team-building event for "Starry."
Ning Youguang’s participation greatly satisfied the staff’s curiosity about Shi Wangyue.
After the dance.
Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue briefly said goodbye to the people playing happily around them and headed back to the inn first.
Because the racetrack wasn’t far from the inn, they decided to walk back.
On the way back, while appreciating the surrounding scenery, they saw from afar the white houses of "Shinozawa No" nestled in the lush forest. The exterior design and outdoor scenery were both beautiful.
Time always flies by quickly when you’re walking with someone, and it doesn’t feel tiring.
When Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue arrived at the inn, they found almost no one outside.
"Everyone probably went out to play and couldn’t bear to come back yet."
She shared her guess with him, meanwhile, her gaze was deeply attracted to the lawn lying in the woods ahead.
In the morning, when Ning Youguang stood on the upstairs terrace, she saw that the lawn hidden in the woods below grew well, was lush and dense, and emerald green.
In this weather, it was amazing to maintain such a thriving lawn.
She wondered at the time, "I wonder how the gardeners managing this area do it?"
In the morning, due to the heavy dew, she didn’t come to play.
Now, after a day of sunshine, the lawn, though at a slight distance, looked dry and soft.
For, in their broad embrace, two little cuties lay quietly and lazily.
One white and one black, two particularly beautiful cats.
...
When the "Starry" team-building squad, who were playing outside and couldn’t bear to come back, returned, they witnessed this scene——
In the woods ahead, Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang lay on the grass, using one hand each as a pillow and the other holding each other.
Two small white and black cats from who knows where lay at their feet.
Sunset rays cascaded from the sky, casting colorful spots on them and the cats.
Time seemed to stand still.
The two of them in white, lying directly on the grass, glowed all over.
They and the beautiful natural surroundings blended into one, akin to heavenly immortals coming down to linger over earthly beauty, inadvertently being glimpsed by a few fortunate humans before returning to the heavens.
But even that brief glimpse was enough to leave a lifelong impression on the beholders.
Everyone involuntarily held their breath and quieted down.
They wished for the beautiful scene before them to linger even longer.
Unexpectedly, just then, a young and pretty girl’s phone rang in the group, startling the phone’s owner, surprising the crowd, and waking Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang, who were resting with closed eyes on the lawn, also frightening the two cats lounging by their feet into lifting their heads.
...
The day was leisurely and slow, while the night was quiet and tranquil.
In the deep night with insect chirps, outside "Shinozawa No," only faint shadows remained. Sometimes the clouds passed, revealing bright moonlight, while other times, the wind seemed louder.
Wrapped in a robe, sip some hot tea; the night is cool as water. Whisper to the mountains and let the wind carry away the scenic vistas always visible through the bookstore’s "inside windows" with lush greenery seen through small transparent glass panes.
Upstairs, capsule rooms would open on the hour for guests to rest, and downstairs, a cup of coffee allows for a leisurely afternoon.
Coming downstairs, they discovered Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang silently sitting by the study’s floor-to-ceiling window, watching the stars and moon outside, with a few small candles on the table, creating a warm and dreamy atmosphere.
Feeling reluctant to approach, they intended to leave and give the place entirely to them.
Unexpectedly, Ning Youguang had already noticed their arrival, "Come on over and sit with us," Ning Youguang invited.
Shi Wangyue got up, "I’m going to check on Ze Wu."
Ning Youguang smiled, "Go ahead. It’s chilly at night, put on an extra layer before you head to the room."
Shi Wangyue nodded.
The girls chirped and crowded around Ning Youguang.
Before long, Shi Wangyue returned.
He gently draped one of Ning Youguang’s cashmere blankets over her.
"Thank you."
