The force at her waist appeared suddenly yet securely.
Perhaps subconsciously aware that she was safe in Tan Palace, Tang Li wasn't frightened, and even guessed who the man behind her was.
When she turned around and truly saw Song Baiyan, it was another kind of faint joy.
In the man's deep eyes, Tang Li saw herself.
Then, she heard Song Baiyan ask, "Hiding here to practice dancing?"
Tang Li didn't deny it.
"Why the sudden impulse to dance?"
"It's not sudden." Tang Li found a reason: "There's a dance scene in the new play, and it's been a long time since I've danced. I thought I'd rehearse a bit on my own."
Song Baiyan looked at her gently: "Can you dance by yourself?"
At that, Tang Li turned around willingly.
"I still lack a teacher."
Saying this, her hands reached for Song Baiyan's broad shoulders: "Then teach me, you danced very well at the state banquet."
Song Baiyan's hand on her waist tightened: "You really want to learn?"
"Mhm." Tang Li nodded.
