Gong Yi Mo wasn’t sure why….he suddenly wanted to dance, but regardless of it she took a Pipa off the walls of the music hall as well as a stool and sat down, smiling.
“Although I don’t know why you’re so excited, how could you dance without music? Let me play music for you!”
Jin Yun extended his hand and took off the golden crown* on his head, staring straight into her eyes. As their eyes met, it was as if time had gone back to the first time he saw her, giving her a mix of looks!
TN*: a hairpiece
“When we first met, I asked you to accompany me, but you said you didn’t know how to play!”
Jin Yun whined, surprised that he’d be revealing such a childish side to himself.
Gong Yi Mo rubbed her nose. “This is the only instrument I can play, and I only know one piece. Consider yourself lucky to hear this!”
Jin Yun suddenly flashed a smile!
The crown had been carelessly tossed onto the stage, leaving his black hair freely flowing messily.
Even though he wasn’t wearing makeup, his exquisite facial features were a gift from God. A single smile was enough to make a pearl lose its gleam. In that moment, Gong Yi Mo clutched the Pipa in her hands a little tighter. In her head, the words stylish and beautiful passed over.
She hurriedly returned her attention back to the Pipa, starting from the first note, Gong Yi Mo felt the aura from Jin Yun change! It had become free and flowing!
In front of others, he was the thorough and careful second prince, while on stage, he was a flying petal, blooming into a flame. His entire person had changed!
Gong Yi Mo didn’t know why Jin Yun suddenly became like this. She simply played the Pipa while watching him twirl and leap, feeling like her heart began to fly along with his steps!
His clothes as white as snow, as he turned from side to side, was much prettier than that of a dancer’s multi-colored costume! This was the first time Gong Yi Mo had realized that casual clothing was even better for dancing than dance costumes!
No…not that they were better for dancing, but because of the dancer’s strength. As he raised his leg and spread out his arms, moving to the beat of the music, the reason Jin Yun’s dance was so alluring was because of the way he used his strength to display beauty. It was the perfect balance, immersing the audience in, refusing to let go.
What Gong Yi Mo didn’t know was that he was only able to express the dance so well due to her accompaniment. Her every note, to Jin Yun’s ears, was as if her soul was joining in the dance, giving him energy!
He only wanted to give the best to Gong Yi Mo, but, he didn’t know what romantic meant!
So he turned to dance. Something he had utmost confidence and mastery over!
His mother consort had once told him he’d touch thousands of people alone with his dance. Later on her statement was only proven as he was named the number one beauty. But he didn’t need to touch thousands of people! He only wanted to be able to touch Gong Yi Mo alone! He was dancing this dance to a point of perfection!
Gong Yi Mo indeed became entranced. Even when the Pipa’s sound broke off at times, she didn’t even notice.
When Jin Yun finished his dance, she was so immersed that she couldn’t remove herself from the performance. This was a true dancer. He had been able to touch her spirit, and she had been able to feel his feelings of joy, happiness, shame, and determination!
Jin Yun watched Gong Yi Mo as the dance ended as he tried to catch his breath. His face was red, his head was covered in a line of sweat, but his eyes were bright and gleaming!
Taking one step at a time, he walked to the front of the stage. He saw Gong Yi Mo frozen in front of him, without even smiling, his black hair messily flowing, truly breath-taking, even making Gong Yi Mo feel as if her heart had skipped a beat!
In this moment, his beauty was truly impactful! No one could defend against it!
From his pocket, he took out the brocade box. As he did this, he could feel his heart beating faster and faster!
He looked into her eyes, the first time he expressed his true feelings without any restraint!
Gong Yi Mo…I like you…
I’ve liked you for a long time…
Just as he opened his mouth, someone suddenly rushed in, loudly exclaiming:
“Sire, bad news! Soldiers have surrounded the area!”
