341: Chapter 16: The Coward Rushing Forward for Love, CEO Cheng Saw the Stars and Ocean_2 341: Chapter 16: The Coward Rushing Forward for Love, CEO Cheng Saw the Stars and Ocean_2 At 60, he still charged into battle for love!

The girl of his youthful dreams stood at the turning point in his life, and despite traversing a thousand mountains, his heart still fluttered for her.

—————–

“Hongyan, though Elder Li might be a bit off in the head, he really has nothing but good intentions towards you,” the elderly ladies gossiped amongst themselves.

“Elder Li was quite the looker when he was young, a big talent with a diploma from a technical school, just a bit too introverted.

Hey, now that your old man’s gone, and his wife has run off…”

“Ah, look at that, Hongyan, you’re on the brink of a second spring in life, hahaha.”

“Pah!

Talking about a second spring when we’re practically one step in the grave, what’s the point?”

Jiang Hongyan awkwardly managed the banter from everyone, yet as she gazed in the direction where Elder Li had left, her eyes betrayed an inexplicable sentiment.

“Chan, are they talking about us?

Am I really that silly?

Their laughter is so loud…”

The blond foreigner wanted to make a run for it with Cheng Daqi, feeling that her intrusive behavior was silly, and her surrendering gesture even more so.

“No, they’re discussing a love story, a very interesting love story,” Cheng Daqi sighed.

“A love story?”

“Yes, the man who just rode off has been in love with this lady for decades.

He may be over 60, but he’s still yearning for love.” CEO Cheng held great respect for the warrior who charged into battle for love.

Though Elder Li’s method of exercising was defying heaven’s will, the way he bravely charged for love was no joke.

“Over 60 and still yearning for love?” The blond woman was touched by Cheng Daqi’s words.

One of the special things about humans as higher animals is that their love can exist without the desire for mating, and so love is a myth that will never fade.

The story of boldly pursuing love at the age of 60 was beautiful even in America; Lisa felt like she was witnessing something significant.

“Yes, look, he’s back, returning with a gift prepared for his girl.”

Elder Li’s home seemed not far from here; from leaving to returning, it took him less than five minutes.

“You must be out of your mind to ride that fast, why are you hurrying?”

Watching Elder Li speed down on his bike at 30 kilometers per hour, Jiang Hongyan cursed him.

“I wanted to come back quickly to see you, hehe.” Placing the Bluetooth boombox on the ground, Elder Li shamelessly replied.

“Yo, Elder Li, you sure are sweet-talking.

Did you marry a bunch of wives while you were in the city?” This was a backhanded compliment.

“Hongyan, I’m really envious of you.

Everywhere you go, people fall in love with you; you’ve never been short of admirers.” This, too, was a backhanded compliment.

Unmoved by the ‘teasing’ of the elderly ladies and gentlemen, Jiang Hongyan kept a straight face as she instructed them.

“Quiet down, everyone.

These two foreigners want to watch us square dance.

Pull yourselves together, don’t embarrass us later!”

“Who would’ve thought that after years of dancing, we’d actually have foreigners wanting to watch, haha.” These were jubilant seniors.

“Hongyan, you’re really impressive, being able to chat with foreigners.

After all, you used to be with a director; we can’t compare with you.” This was the old hand, indirectly taking a dig at Elder Li.

Lisa didn’t understand what these people were saying; she just saw smiles on the faces of these elders and thought everyone was enjoying themselves.

Elder Li stood up for Jiang Hongyan, but he knew that old lady Jiang wanted to organize a good square dance performance to show the foreigners, so he spoke very tactfully.

“This is our village’s first performance for foreigners, let’s get serious.

Let’s first start forming up.”

As the catchy ethnic tune played, CEO Cheng even started moving to the rhythm.

Under Jiang Hongyan’s lead, the group of elders managed to impress Lisa with a powerful display of square dancing.

“It’s a bit like aerobics, with a hint of modern dance, and some moves even have a jazz feel.

They may be amateur dancers, but the way they’re able to organize and dance together, maintaining a comfortable rhythm, is truly splendid!”

The blond woman’s feedback was somewhat professional, and she was right—the elders’ square dance was impressive from an amateur perspective.

“Hold my bag for me!” Shoving her handbag at CEO Cheng, Lisa strode forward.

In the astonished gazes of old lady Jiang and the others, the blond woman joined their rhythm.

This scene was perfect for a splash on social media, and CEO Cheng, ever the opportunist, immediately raised his phone, focusing the camera on Lisa amidst the seniors.

Soon enough, two songs ended—not because Jiang and her companions lacked energy, but because their stamina could no longer keep up.

After all, they were a group of seniors; dancing two rounds in a row was already an exceptional display, and any more would have been risky for CEO Cheng.

“Hello, did you enjoy our dance?

By the way, what’s your name?” Jiang mopped the sweat from her forehead as she asked.

“Cheng Daqi.

Auntie, just call me Daqi.

Your square dance was amazing,” CEO Cheng sighed appreciatively.

“Ha, call me old Jiang.

It feels strange to be called ‘auntie’ by a foreigner,” she laughed.

As many elderly people get older, their thought process and reflexes aren’t as sharp, and they’re not always articulately spoken, but Jiang Hongyan was different.

With a demeanor unlike other seniors, Jiang Hongyan was energetic and unaffected by age’s typical dulling.

“Well then, Auntie Jiang, I run a…

performance company, and I feel you’d make a great actor.

Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll send you the company address.

If you’re interested in a side job, come and take a look,” he offered.

In fact, CEO Cheng was very grateful to Jiang Hongyan.

Today’s exchange with old lady Jiang had allowed him to identify an important focus he had previously overlooked in the field of short videos.
