Chapter 107 Beyond the Standard Sewing (Ch 107)

Yu Xingxing seemed to be very pleased with the title of senior. He smiled and nodded, shaking his head and said:

“Junior, I know you came to our dance for the Elite Cup.”

“But I have to remind you that although there are many members in the Red Heart Group, only a few can be selected to participate in the Elite Cup.”

He suddenly revealed a sly smile: “So, if you know how to please the leaders of the Red Heart Group, you won’t take detours!”

Zhou Ke smiled and said nothing.

He disdains to do anything that would please his superiors.

He hadn’t even decided whether to join the Red Heart Group.

But in order to obtain more information, he pretended to cooperate and said:

“Senior! I really want to improve! Please teach me!”

The little senior student showed a satisfied look for a moment, and his eyes seemed to say, “Junior, you are very smart.”

He then began to introduce himself seriously:

“The number one figure in the Red Heart Group is naturally Chairman Zhuang Xingyao.”

“Chairman Zhuang is the only gold-level god card in the entire school. He is the heir of the Red Heart Family, one of the four major families. At the same time—”

“She was also the one who led our Red Heart Team to win the last Elite Cup championship!”

Yu Xingxing said with a smile:

“Just from this one reason, you can tell how powerful the Red Heart Group is!”

“If you are going to qualify for the Elite Cup after joining the Red Heart Group, you must win the appreciation of Senior Sister Zhuang!”

Yu Xingxing paused:

“Of course. I heard that it was Senior Zhuang herself who invited you. You should have passed the chairman’s test.”

Zhou Ke continued to ask:

“Where’s that tall boy standing with Senior Zhuang? He seems to have a high status in the Red Heart Group?”

Yu Xingxing glanced at the foreground:

“Oh, him. His name is Sun Qiren, and he is the vice chairman of the Red Heart Group.”

“He entered the Red Heart Group earlier than Senior Sister Zhuang Xingyao, and is one grade higher than her.”

“Although he had more experience, he lost in the election for chairman and only became vice chairman.”

“However, Senior Sister Zhuang’s strength is obvious to all. Although Vice Chairman Sun is a senior student, he has no objection. He is even happy to be the vice chairman and has become Senior Sister Zhuang’s right-hand man.”

“You know, Senior Sister Zhuang is usually a bit cold and reserved. Vice Chairman Sun is the boy closest to her.”

“Chairman Zhuang usually lets Senior Sun take charge of all the activities of the Red Heart Group.”

“So…” Yu Xingxing lowered his voice again:

“You’d better please the vice chairman.”

“Yeah.” Zhou Ke agreed and kept the information in mind.

These are rare pieces of information. Through the description of this young senior, Zhou Ke roughly understood the power structure of the Red Heart Group.

As they were talking, Vice Chairman Sun Qiren at the front desk stood up, picked up the microphone, and coughed twice:

“Everyone, please be quiet.”

The students in the dance hall stopped talking and looked at him.

Seeing that everyone was focusing their attention on him, Sun Qiren said:

“I am Sun Qiren, vice chairman of the Red Heart Group. First of all, thank you all for participating in the dance party held by the Red Heart Group.”

“We know that many of you came here just to get the chance to join the Red Heart Group.”

“But today’s dance is just an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other. Don’t feel pressured, just have fun.”

He raised the microphone in his hand slightly:

“Now that everyone is here, we will proceed with the [Noble Opening Dance] as per custom.”

“After waiting for the Red Heart Group Chairperson to lead the dance, all students who are interested in dancing can enter the dance floor.”

Hearing this, Su Chenxi on the side said softly:

“Ke Zhou, we are the special guests invited by Senior Sister Zhuang. Do you want to dance with us later?”

Zhou Ke nodded gently: “Of course, how can we not dance when we come to the dance? But… I still have a question.”

Before Su Chenxi responded, Yu Xingxing quickly responded:

“Junior, what’s the problem? Come, let the senior help you answer it!”

Zhou Ke asked in a low voice:

“Waltz, tango, cha-cha… I can dance all of these, but what kind of dance is this [Noble Opening Dance]? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.”

Senior Yu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, and then a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face:

“Indeed, Junior! I heard that you come from a commoner family and don’t know much about our world.”

“I didn’t expect…you really don’t know anything!”

“Ha, this [Noble Opening Dance] is actually a customary activity in our aristocratic world that is performed before major social occasions.”

“There are no requirements for the way you dance, just follow the music! Feel free to do it!”

“But…” Yu Xingxing suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously:

“What’s more interesting is… before the show starts, there’s an [extra segment] that needs to be performed by the two dancers who are ready to dance!”

“This [extra session] is a classic custom in the aristocratic world, passed down from generation to generation. It is a display of the nobility’s [bloodline status].”

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since Zhou Ke was attending the Red Heart Group’s dance party, he wanted to follow the host’s customs as much as possible, so he quickly asked:

“What’s the extra step? How do I do it?”

Yu Xingxing blinked slyly: “You will know later!”

Zhou Ke was a little confused for a moment.

Su Chenxi seemed to see some of Zhou Ke’s emotions, so he lowered his voice and comforted him:

“Don’t worry, the [extra step] that the senior mentioned is [fully automatic]. You don’t need to do anything.”

……

Beautiful and elegant background music gradually becomes louder.

Zhuang Xingyao and Sun Qiren, the two presidents of the Red Heart Group, walked shoulder to shoulder and were the first to walk onto the dance floor.

As the masters and hosts of the dance party, they are the lead dancers and must be the first pair to enter the dance floor.

The two stood in the middle of the dance floor, looking at each other silently, waiting for the rhythm of the music.

As the first dance music arrived, Zhuang Xingyao slightly extended a hand towards Sun Qiren.

He seemed to be inspired by something.

He suddenly bent down, bent his knees slightly, then held one of Senior Sister Zhuang Xingyao’s hands with one hand and lifted it in front of him.

Then, he placed a gentle kiss on her and said these words as if reciting a poem:

“Dark Night Rose of noble blood, please allow me to invite you to dance with me.”

Then he lowered his head and waited silently for Zhuang Xingyao’s answer.

He bent over without moving, and his body paused, as if he couldn’t hear Zhuang Xingyao’s answer and didn’t stand up.

During the whole process, Zhuang Xingyao’s face remained as cold as ice. He only nodded expressionlessly after hearing Sun Qiren’s words.

“In the name of the burning red heart, I accept your invitation.” She answered with the same chanting lines.

Afterwards, the two of them danced gracefully to the melody of the background music in an aristocratic dance style that Zhou Ke had never seen before.

“Did you hear the conversation between the two seniors before the dance? That was the [extra segment] I mentioned before!” Yu Xingxing still stood next to Zhou Ke and said in a low voice.
