The Urban Dao Child

Laohu Bai's sudden appearance surprised the students. They were all used to facing her ice-cold glare till this morning. Suddenly the lady acting like a gentle girl next door, they cannot help but gulp at her. 

Yang Dao turned to face her and said, "Sister Baibai, I don't know how to dance."

His calm and gentle tone made Laohu Bai very happy. She said, "Young Master, I will teach you. Now you come along." she directly held his hand. 

Yang Dao, "What did we talk about in the evening?" his tone was calm but the voice was deep. 

Laohu Bai let go of his hand and said to the classmates around, "Boy and girls, I am Laohu Bai, cousin of Yang Dao. Pleased to meet you. If you all do not mind may I borrow him for a few minutes?" 

The guys all nodded dumbly. Yang Dao shook his head and was about to stand up when Kiya mustered up her courage and asked, "Y...Yang Dao, can I also dance with you?" her voice was almost like a whisper. Yang Dao smiled and said, "Okay after I learn some, we dance."

The boy stood up and walked to the center of the hall. There was an orchestra playing gentle music. Laohu Bai walked to the center and turned to face Yang Dao. She used her hand to place Yang Dao's left hand on her waist while used her left hand to hold his right hand. 

She turned to the orchestra and the music changed. The change was abrupt and attracted everyone's attention. Laohu Bai started to guide Yang Dao. The two bodies sway to the music in tandem. Nobody thought that Yang Dao was dancing for the first time. His steps were steady and the back was straight. 

He was able to follow the whole process with ease. After three minutes the music stopped. The surrounding audience clapped. Yang Dao scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. Silently he walked back to his table calmly. When he saw Kiya gazing at him with expectations, he could not help but bite a bullet.

The boy walked over to her and said, "Would you like to dance now?"

The girl blossomed with a smile and nodded as she said, "I'd be honored."

Yang Dao extended his hand and Kiya placed her palm over it. The pink-haired her had a casual yet elegant one-piece dress draped on her. She said to Yang Dao as the two walked toward the center, "Would you like to do the same dance as you did with Instructor Bai?"

Yang Dao nodded as he replied, "I would prefer to take baby steps. Learning too many things can make it bad."

Kiya nodded, "But I thought you have four subjects in the college. Why not learn dance in multiple styles as well?"

Yang Dao replied, "Let me first learn how to deal with women. This is something no one in the world could complete." although the boy was mumbling, it still fell into Kiya's ears and she chuckled. This was probably the best joke from Yang Dao in his life. 

The two stood facing each other and started dancing to the music. This time it was slower and the boy was being led by Kiya. The two people danced very much similar to the way Laohu Bai taught him earlier and still some steps were modified by Kiya. 

The people thought that Yang Dao was a sucker for pretty girls. They began to see hope, let the girls in their family seduce this wealthy Young Master and rule. But the next moment, they saw Feng Yun walking up to Kiya who was enjoying her dance and whispering something in her ear. 

Kiya smiled and nodded, then with a bow to Yang Dao she walked back to her table while Feng Yun took on Yang Dao's hand. She said with a smile, "You have two more people to dance with young master."

Yang Dao tilted his head and asked, "Who two?"

Feng Yun spoke as the two people danced, "Mary, and Jelena. They are gazing at you with hope."

Yang Dao rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Yun, you don't tease me okay. Sister Bai already threw me under the bus." he made an aggrieved expression and continued, "All the business big shot want me to fall into a honey trap."

Feng Yun chuckled as she said, "A few months ago they wanted their kids to entrap me. Now they have set their eyes on you, Young Master. How will you handle it?" 

Yang Dao replied, "I will go and hide, they cannot trap me if they cannot find me." a smirk rested on his lips. 

Feng Yun could not help but chuckle at his acts. He was really different in front of her. Like a child almost. The two kept dancing slowly for the next five minutes and occasionally chuckling and joking with each other. Then Feng Yun beckoned Mary to come over. 

The secretary adored Yang Dao a lot, he was always respectful and nice to her. The main reason was that even though he was the brother of her boss, the boy called him MADAM. That sense of superiority made her swell, Yang Dao was her spoonful of honey. 

Yang Dao then danced with Mary and the music was a bit more fast-paced now. The boy handled the pressure with ease. Even the people nodded. The boy was able to keep up with Mary as if it was very easy but when the music picked up the footwork did too. It may not be as smooth as that of a professional but it was indeed very soothing to watch.

The dance ended and Yang Dao bowed to Mary. The boy then walked up to the table where Jelena was sitting with her grandma. He was surprised to see that now a young man was sitting at the table as well. He did not bother and came to the old lady. The old lady was called Melissa Riaz. She smiled at Yang Dao. 

The boy asked her if the arrangements and the food were to her liking. Melissa nodded and thanked him. Yang Dao then turned to Jelena and asked, "Miss Jelena, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

Jelena smiled and was about to agree when the young man said, "Mister, you have been dancing with a lot of beauties, why bother with Jelena too?"

Yang Dao smiled and asked, "May I ask, who might you be sir?" he did not show any discomfort on his face at all. 

The young man smiled and replied, "I am Jelena's cousin and her agent. My name is Zac."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Please enjoy your meal." then he turned to face Jelena and said, "Come, let's have some fun." this time he did not ask, but told her. His words slapped the guy right across his face and it was a loud slap. 

Yang Dao's earlier words were like, 'SHUT UP AND EAT. THIS IS MY PLACE AND I AM THE BOSS.'

The boy took Jelena's hand and took her to the dance floor. The girl followed him with big sparkling eyes. She liked his chivalry and the guts not to let the others meddle in his affairs. The two stood facing each other and started dancing. 

Yang Dao spoke suddenly, "I apologize for offending your cousin."

Jelena shook her head and said, "He is always like this, nosy in my affairs. Ever since my parents let him be my manager, I have become nothing but a workhorse yet all my income is monitored by him."

Yang Dao asked as he spun Jelena twice, "Is there any reason for such operation? Your parents do not stop him?"

Jelena nodded, "My father owed his dad a big favor so. They have to tolerate. What is more, this person even had me write a contract that if I fire him then I have to pay him ten times the salary amount at that moment. But how do I pay? All of my money is held by him and used at his discrimination as well?"

Yang Dao shook his head as he said, "This is a bit too much. How about I ask my sister to deal with it for you? That way it will solve your crisis, you can be free. What do you think?"

Jelena thought for a bit and then said, Give me some time to think about it and then I will tell you."

The boy nodded after he put himself in her shoes. The person was her family member. The two then danced in silence. Yang Dao and Jelena danced for 7 minutes. Then they stopped. After bowing to the audience Yang Dao took the beauty to her table and after a polite exchange with her grandmother, he left. 

Yang Dai had just turned away when he sensed a cold gaze aimed at his back but did not take it seriously. Laohu Bai and Feng Yun had already noticed the young man, who introduced himself to be Jelena's cousin, glaring at their Young Master. 

Feng Yun said, "Deal with it."

Laohu Bai said, "Rest assured, this guy will regret it."
