Chapter 371: Chapter 181: For All Tastes, Lu Mingzhe Prepares a Big Surprise

As the song concluded, the music faded to silence.

Chen Mo approached Shen Qingying in her qipao, wrapping an arm around her slender waist and pulling her exquisite figure into his embrace.

"Your solo dance was good. Now, let’s see how you do with a duet."

As she watched him with anticipation, Chen Mo lowered his head and captured her tempting red lips in a kiss.

Afterward, Chen Mo and Shen Qingying turned the spacious living room of the large apartment into their dance studio.

After dancing a few duets together, the two had already established a perfect rapport.

Now, a single movement from one was all it took for the other to respond in perfect sync.

As their duet progressed, a new piece of music began to play at just the right moment.

The music today was exceptionally melodious and lyrical, soothing to the soul.

Listening to the lyrical music, Chen Mo gradually increased the difficulty of their duet.

He began to attempt some high-difficulty dance moves.

Thanks to Shen Qingying’s extreme flexibility, she handled all sorts of difficult maneuvers with ease.

Whether it was doing the splits or bending over to touch the ground.

Or high leg lifts, standing on one foot while raising the other over her shoulder, and so on.

To her, these were all just the most basic of fundamentals.

With the support of her solid foundation, the duet between Chen Mo and her was exceptionally smooth and harmonious.

The experience of their duet was utterly sublime.

When the lyrical music ended, their duet was finally over.

After the intense performance, the two lay on the large sofa to rest.

Shen Qingying nestled tightly in Chen Mo’s arms, her long black hair, which had been neatly tied up, now slightly disheveled.

Her delicate, pretty face was flushed from the dance, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on her fair, smooth forehead.

"Not bad. Your foundation in duets has gotten even stronger. You’ve improved a lot."

Chen Mo dotingly tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, planted a kiss on her flushed, delicate cheek, and praised her with a smile.

’Improvement deserves praise. That’s what provides the motivation to keep moving forward.’

"I’m just so glad you liked it."

Hearing Chen Mo’s praise, Shen Qingying was like a student who had just received an award, leaning in to kiss him with a charming smile.

Her beautiful face was brimming with a happy, radiant smile.

From their recent duet, she could feel Chen Mo’s love for and satisfaction with her qipao.

This made her very happy, feeling that the surprise she had so carefully prepared had satisfied Chen Mo.

And if Chen Mo was satisfied, then she was satisfied too.

She had a few other beautiful qipaos in her wardrobe and planned to wear them for Chen Mo next time.

After resting for a while, Shen Qingying’s remarkable physical gifts allowed her to quickly recover her stamina.

So she began to perform another solo dance for Chen Mo.

This time, she deliberately turned off the lights, leaving only a projector on to cast light and shadows onto a lowered screen.

As her slender figure danced in the projector’s beam, the screen displayed a graceful, fluttering silhouette of light and shadow.

This was accompanied by a perfectly chosen background track.

It was a dance performance that offered Chen Mo a true audio-visual feast.

He was captivated, both visually and audibly.

’What a feast for the senses. Classical dance is the real deal; I was so uncultured before.’

Chen Mo thought to himself, impressed, after watching the dance Shen Qingying had so carefully prepared for him.

In the past, when he watched holiday galas on TV, he always found the classical dance segments boring.

Instead, he preferred the more mainstream, popular dances, like K-pop.

But after seeing a classical dance performed right in front of him, he realized how unrefined his tastes had been.

It was mainly because he’d never had the opportunity or the standing to enjoy something so elegant before.

Now that he had truly experienced elegance, he realized just how crude his previous tastes had been.

’No wonder those big galas always like to feature classical dance performances.’

’They must have seen it in person. They scheduled it because they knew just how elegant this stuff really is.’

’Unfortunately, the effect on television is nowhere near as good as seeing it live.’

’But I can appreciate both. I like the elegant stuff, but I want the low-brow stuff, too!’

’Then again,’ Chen Mo thought, ’it’s not like I have to choose between high-brow and low-brow.’

’I can totally enjoy both.’

’Enjoy the elegant for a while, then switch to the popular to cleanse the palate. Not a bad idea.’

’With Shen Qingying’s solid foundation, she can even perform the most difficult classical dances this well. Learning those suggestive K-pop routines would be a piece of cake for her.’

"So... was it beautiful?"

Shen Qingying turned the lights back on. Panting slightly, she threw herself into his arms and looked up at Chen Mo with eyes full of anticipation.

"The dance was beautiful, but the dancer is even more beautiful."

Chen Mo pinched her flushed, pretty cheek and praised her without reservation.

"As long as you like it, I can learn other dances too."

Seeing how much Chen Mo liked it, Shen Qingying’s mood instantly brightened even more.

"Mm, when you have free time, you can practice some K-pop dances."

Chen Mo smiled, nodded, and mentioned it casually.

"That’s easy. I can just watch them a few times, practice for an hour or two, and I’ll have it down."

At his words, a confident smile appeared on Shen Qingying’s delicate face.

She had practiced K-pop dances before, but she felt they were too vulgar, so she hadn’t continued.

She hadn’t wanted to perform such vulgar dances for other people.

But now that Chen Mo wanted to see them, the question of whether they were vulgar or not was irrelevant.

As long as it was something Chen Mo liked, she was willing to learn and practice it.

"Come on, time to give you your allowance."

Chen Mo patted her perky rear, then sat up straight on the sofa.
