Jolene despised her for being spineless, and when her brother gave her a bicycle, she forgot all about his bad habits. Although it is only five minutes away, she rides her bicycle to and from school every day, usually taking Zhao Linlin with her. Zhao Linlin was envious, and said that Qiao Nan is the best brother in the world, and it would be good to marry him in the future.

Jolene could only roll her eyes silently.

After entering high school, Jolene trained regularly with the dance team. The dance team trained twice on Wednesday and Saturday nights, and there were only 10 people in total, except for Qiao Lin, the others were all art students from the second middle school. Teacher Meng of the dance team is a graduate student majoring in aerobics, don't look at her wearing glasses like a scholar, but she is extremely strict with these students, and Qiao Lin is terrified when she sees her.

The dance team of the No. 2 Middle School mainly has two tasks, one is to produce programs for the school's large and small parties, but in the No. 2 Middle School, a school rich in students, there may be two or three large-scale theatrical evenings a year; the other task is to prepare for the provincial middle school students' aerobics competition every spring, if it can win a prize in this competition, it is a very favorable opportunity to publicize the all-round development of the No. 2 Middle School's "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor". Therefore, it is imperative to win in the second competition every time, and the training of the dance team is also very strict.

In junior high school, Jolene was the absolute main force of the dance team, but she only represented the school in municipal competitions and won several awards, so she was already booked by the No. 2 middle school dance team before she entered high school. But after entering high school, the team became more and more professional. Moreover, among these ten people, half of them are sophomores in high school, and Qiao Lin doesn't dare to fight with them at all. Originally, she was standing in the C position, so she could only silently retreat to the side to play soy sauce.

It's like a few players who played the main role in the Chinese Super League, after going to Europe, they could only play as substitutes, or even sit on the cold bench, and finally returned to China gloomily. Jolene always had a foreboding feeling - if she couldn't get along in the dance team, would she be kicked out?

Jolene remembers very well that in late October, they began to train an English song called "She's Back", and the dance moves had a strong jazz style, which Jolene had never been exposed to.

After all, in the past art performances, most of the teachers were choreographed according to the mountain songs sung by Aunt Song Zuying, Qiao Lin memorized "Little Bamboo Basket", dangled on the stage, and also waved the red ribbon with the melody of "Good Day", when did she come into contact with such a foreign style?

So, she could barely memorize the movements, but she couldn't stretch her hands and feet, and no one else danced in a dashing way, and she looked out of place in the group.

Teacher Meng also didn't have a good face for her, and had to call her name every time she trained. Especially when she changed formations, she was like a gray ground mouse, scurrying around. Qiao Lin was trained by Teacher Meng so that she couldn't raise her head, her posture was worse than before, she was more timid, and the error rate increased greatly.

Teacher Meng was so angry that he dropped his notebook and criticized: "Look at you, shrunk your neck and shrug your shoulders, like a turtle with a shrunken head, where is the temperament of a dancer?"

Jolene lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything, tears dripping on the back of her hand. Teacher Meng didn't have so much patience to see her shed tears, and said impatiently: "If you drag your feet like this again, then quit the dance team!"

Teacher Meng said categorically, there was no room for negotiation, Qiao Lin was half frightened, she hurriedly said: "I won't hold back! I promise to follow!"

Those big eyes were full of fear and longing for the stage, Teacher Meng sighed, let the others continue to practice, and called Qiao Lin out of the dance studio.

"Do you want to follow the path of an art student in the future?" asked Mr. Meng straight to the point.

Jolene was at a loss: "I don't know, I just heard that it takes a lot of money to study art, and I don't have that much money at home." ”

Teacher Meng was amused by her simplicity, and then said seriously: "The standards of the No. 2 Middle School Dance Team are very strict, and as you can see, the people who come here to dance are all art students, which is very helpful to them and to the school to win honors." If you don't want to follow the career path, I advise you to quit the team early and devote all your energy to studying. ”

Teacher Meng said very sincerely, but Qiao Lin was frightened, she hurriedly begged: "Teacher Meng, I know that I still have a lot of shortcomings, but I will be ashamed and brave, and I will work harder than now......

"It's not a question of whether you work hard or not, but all things considered, if you don't follow the path of an art student, it's not much use for you to stay in the dance team. ”

"I didn't stay here to be useful, and I didn't practice hard to get extra points in the college entrance examination...... I just like the stage very much, I'm very average in other aspects, and I can only feel my value when I dance. Teacher Meng, I beg you, don't drive me away!"

Jolene said as tears flowed down her cheeks. Teacher Meng thought to herself, she is a persistent child! She said: "In this case, let's practice here first! But I will recruit a few people recently, so that you can compete with each other, survival of the fittest, and only those who perform well can stay." ”

"Okay, I'll accept the challenge!" Jolene's unyielding spirit was aroused, and her whole body was full of fighting spirit.

Teacher Meng admired her attitude and said, "I advise you to find a training institution to train more, your foundation is much worse than others." ”

Jolene said embarrassedly, "I... I only studied dance in elementary school for two years, and the rest of the time I spent my own thoughts. ”

Teacher Meng was so surprised that she couldn't stop talking: "If you haven't received professional dance training, then how can you stay in the dance team all the time?"

Qiao Lin said: "I practiced dance in the first and second grades of primary school, and I performed on stage at every art show. After the third grade of primary school, some changes happened in my family, and I had no money to go to the training class. However, when the other students danced, I watched it two or three times and learned the movements, and the teacher thought it was quite rare, so he left me in the dance team and let me participate in any performance. ”

I see!Teacher Meng nodded, and there was even a hint of relief in her eyes - if what she said was true, then she was a self-taught dance genius!

After talking to Teacher Meng, Qiao Lin practiced harder than before. When she came home in the evening, she controlled her legs while reciting questions, increasing her soft opening all the time.

When Li Lanzhi saw her lying on the ground "tearing her legs", the boss was unhappy in her heart, and nagged: "If I could use all this energy in studying, I would have been in the top ten of the grade long ago." ”

Qiao Lin was already grinning in pain, and she was nagged by her mother, and she couldn't control her anger: "Can you stop letting me study all day? Am I not studying hard enough? Are you happy to wait for one day to learn suddenly?"

Li Lanzhi smashed the pots and pans to a clanging sound, and her face was as cold as a snowy mountain: "How can you talk to adults? I'm telling you, if the ranking of the monthly exam drops this time, then you won't go to the dance team. If you don't do your job all day, do you have any reason to talk back?"

Jolene was about to explode in pain, gritted her teeth and persisted, muttering, "The more you don't think well of me, the more I have to prove it to you!"

In the dead of night, the more she thought about her mother's words, the more aggrieved she felt, and she couldn't help but send a message to her brother: "What do you do every time you encounter an obstacle?"

I waited for a few minutes, but didn't wait for my brother's reply. She heard that her brother went to an unknown ravine and did special training.

Jolene didn't know, so she had to ask her dog-headed military advisor for advice. Sun Ruiyang told her that it was probably the special forces training set!

Will my brother want to be a special soldier in the future? The doubts in Qiao Lin's heart became bigger and bigger, but the brother never communicated these things with his family, and always made decisions silently by himself, and never revealed a word without making a decision, so that Qiao Lin could only speculate wildly.

The boys in the class like to read magazines such as "World Military", and they are full of yearning for the so-called "special forces" profession, and they are even more envious after learning that Jolene's brother is in a military school. But Jolene knows that this profession is not as cool as it is rumored, it is almost synonymous with danger and sacrifice. As a family member of a military member, she didn't want her brother to take this risk.

Sun Ruiyang saw that she was worried, so he comforted: "I heard that when their command class students are assigned, they are all a radish and a pit, where are there so many pits for special operations posts? Don't worry, Brother Qiao Nan will be assigned to an ordinary company nine times out of ten." ”

Regardless of whether what Sun Ruiyang said was true or not, he knew a lot, and no matter what he said, he was the truth, which could make Qiao Lin feel at ease. Qiao Lin showed two little tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Thank you, you are worthy of being my dog-headed military advisor." ”

Sun Ruiyang smiled helplessly again - since Qiao Lin learned the word "dog-headed military advisor", she turned this word into a dog skin plaster and firmly attached it to herself. However, he enjoyed Jolene's admiration for him, and he didn't care so much about this nickname.

Qiao Lin recalled Sun Ruiyang's words, clenched her mobile phone, and slowly fell asleep with a sense of apprehension. Even in her sleep, she kept praying - may God bless her brother and make him all right.

Teacher Meng had to admit that Qiao Lin did have a tenacity, but after a few days of hard work, the jazz feeling came out. But she was afraid that Jolene would be proud, so she buried the praise in the bottom of her heart and did not show it. For Jolene, the teacher stopped criticizing herself, which was already a great improvement!

What is the skin of the toe worn out, what is the pain of the ligament like a tear, as long as the effort is rewarded, all the effort is worth it!

Qiao Lin thought she had passed the test, but she didn't expect Teacher Meng to really find a few girls. On this day, they were still changing clothes in the dressing room, and a few girls came. When the last girl walked in, Qiao Lin almost didn't scream - Shen Chunxiao?

It is undeniable that among this group of girls with positive figures and good looks, Shen Chunxiao is still the most conspicuous one. Her head and face are small, and her facial features are as delicate as a doll. If she is asked to play those vase-like roles, even if she has no acting skills, she can gain a large number of fans.

Teacher Meng asked them to introduce themselves briefly, and finally it was Shen Chunxiao's turn, she stroked her hair, and said generously: "Hello everyone, my name is Shen Chunxiao, and I am a freshman in the tenth class of high school. I started learning dance at the age of four, and I never stopped in between, and when I was in junior high school, I won the provincial runner-up in the Xiaohe Cup Dance Competition. Of course, I know that I still have a lot to offer, so I would like to ask for your advice in the future. ”

When he said the last sentence, Shen Chunxiao's gaze happened to fall on Qiao Lin, the eyes were charming and powerful, Qiao Lin panicked all of a sudden, and grabbed the schoolbag belt tightly.

Just then, her phone vibrate. While everyone else was walking towards the practice room, Qiao Lin quickly glanced at her phone and confirmed the text message.

"There's no obstacle that I can't overcome, unless it's me. ”

The sender is shown to be "brother".

Jolene was suddenly full of strength, she packed her things, and stepped into the practice room in high spirits - from today on, she will also be like her brother, and knock down all the obstacles!
