36. 'Special'

Under the cover of a smooth graceful waltz, Li Zhilan and Qi Longwei's childish quarrels continued.

''Damn. Are you not straight? Or are you not healthy enough? Should I recommend some specialist on this area?'' Li Zhilan said in an aspirated voice.

And her words hit Qi Longwei as a great shock that his lips just won't stop twitching.

''Which normal girl will think in such a direction? Are you kidding me? You think I'm not straight and I'm unhealthy in that particular department huh? Should I prove it to you?'' Qi Longwei said as he pulled Li Zhilan's waist closer until the distance between them was a big fat zero.

Feeling it quite uncomfortable being so close to someone of the opposite gender other then her family members, Li Zhilan squirmed in Qi Longwei's arms to create some distance.

''Why are you pulling be so much. Move before I make you. Though I don't doupt you will do anything due to your 'preference' it's still uncomfortable.''

''What do you mean preference?''

''Well you can't be straight after all which straight, healthy boy dresses as a prince from a fairytale? Don't worry. We live in the modern world and people don't judge for your 'uniqueness'. Infact I also have quite a few friend who are 'special'. Why don't I introduce some to you. You might feel comfortable talking with them after all.'' Li Zhilan continued her teasing after seeing that Qi Longwei was really affected. The sense of satisfaction was far greater than when she won the competition for the first time.

''Why don't I prove how straight I am to you. I guess practical is better than theory in such cases.'' Qi Longwei said as he leaned dangerously close to her ears.

Feeling the hot breath on her ears, Li Zhilan couldn't help her ears from turning red. Her heartbeat increased and her body stiffened but due to years of practice, her body didn't shut down completely and continued its movement on its own.

Just when Li Zhilan was panicking due to Qi Longwei's words, the song came to an end so she quickly freed herself from what suddenly felt like a cage and speed walked towards her friends.

Her normally fair face was now pinkish but it didn't make her look awkward. Instead the blush on her cheeks increased her charm to the next level.

No one suspected Qi Longwei to be the reason for Li Zhilan to blush. Everyone thought it was because she seldom got a chance to perform like this at the center with hundreds of pairs of eyes watching.

''Wow Orchid. I didn't know you could dance so well. At first, seeing how you were so reluctant to dance, I thought you were dead seeing you being paired with great Qi but when you guys started all my worries disappeared. How can you dance so well. Can you teach me?'' Shi Qiaolian was the first to come to her senses and also the one who had a lot to talk about when Li Zhilan joined them next to the food corner. The rest only stared at her but their bright shocked eyes clearly told that they were feeling the same as Shi Qiaolian.
