Teacher Meng was very strict with Qiao Lin, but he never reprimanded him so harshly as he did today. Qiao Lin was greatly wronged, and was frightened by Teacher Meng, and picked her fingers at a loss.

The others had no opinion on Jolene's role as the lead dancer, or rather, they didn't give their opinion in person. One of the team members said it well, now that he has just entered high school, even if he is a special student, his level is not necessarily high. Jolene has a solid foundation and most importantly a stable mentality, so she may be the best candidate to be the lead dancer.

Jolene still didn't have the confidence and didn't have the courage to look up. Teacher Meng's gaze stayed on her several times, she knew all of this, but she couldn't face it directly. She knows that self-confidence does not come easily, and since she was a child, what she lacked most was self-confidence.

Seeing that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to finish practicing for another hour. At this time of the day, it is usually Mr. Meng who summarizes. Qiao Lin and another team member went to buy ice cream for everyone, and everyone listened to Mr. Meng while eating. After summarizing, practice two more times, and the day's practice is over.

Today is no exception, but Teacher Meng didn't let them go, she wanted to go by herself. Teacher Meng explained: "You are all tired these days, I'll buy you ice cream, you hurry up and practice again!"

Qiao Lin hurriedly stood up: "Let's go, I'm used to it." You're no easier than us, and your voice is hoarse......"

"No, it's rare to buy it for you once, you practice hard, even if you are worthy of me. ”

Mr. Meng is a very simple person, and he has always been the same. She went to buy ice cream, and the other members of the team who went to the toilet came back one after another, so everyone discussed taking Jolene as the center and practicing first.

Jolene stood in the middle with sincere trepidation and formed a formation. The moment the music started, a scream came into my ears.

Qiao Lin's ears were sharp, and she heard it at once: "It's Teacher Meng's voice!"

The seven girls ran out together, and it turned out that Teacher Meng had fallen down a flight of stairs and was squatting in the corner with his ankles covered. She has always been free and capable, but she is extremely embarrassed at this time.

"Teacher Meng, are you alright?"

In the face of the girls' gossiping questions, Teacher Meng stood up strongly, shook his ankles, and said, "It's okay, you can still move." ”

Jolene felt a little guilty inexplicably, and she muttered, "If we hadn't bothered you so much, you wouldn't have wandered and fallen......"

"What are you muttering, be louder!" Teacher Meng didn't like this kind of unconfident way of speaking, and every time she heard this kind of mosquito call, she would interrupt impatiently.

Jolene plucked up her courage and said loudly, "It's all our fault, we're distracting you!, otherwise how could you fall down the stairs?"

Teacher Meng couldn't cry or laugh: "Just your little, and you still want me to wrestle? I was slipped by something!"

The girls looked at each other, and Teacher Meng said casually: "Upstairs is the physical chemistry laboratory, maybe someone accidentally dropped the steel ball on the stairs! Fortunately, you didn't step on it, we don't have a substitute now, if one of you is injured again, then I will really explode on the spot!"

A sophomore in high school joked: "Qiao Lin, you have to thank Teacher Meng, Teacher Meng helped you stop the disaster!"

Qiao Lin kept thanking Teacher Meng, but Teacher Meng thought they were slimy, and with a wave of his hand, he drove them all away.

Qiao Lin didn't think too much about it, but after returning to the practice room, the senior sister's words have been haunting her heart.

Their practice room is on the third floor of the Science and Technology Building, in a classroom on the westernmost side. Going out of the practice room, there is the west staircase, and the staircase is just the commissary. Jolene went down this staircase every time to buy ice cream for everyone.

Jolene has always been in a hurry, running fast. If she went shopping today, then her fate would definitely be much worse than that of Teacher Meng, and it is very likely that she would withdraw from this competition, let alone be the lead dancer.

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back, and subconsciously glanced at Shen Chunxiao. Shen Chunxiao didn't have any abnormalities and was concentrating on pressing his legs. Jolene thought to herself, maybe it was really a coincidence, the big war was coming, she couldn't just wronged her teammates, unity was the most important thing.

On this day's practice, I was almost tired and broke my bones, and when I walked to the wonton restaurant, Jolene didn't have any strength. She was lying on the table and pretending to be a corpse, and her friend Xu Na called her, saying that she wanted to give her a gift.

Jolene was so tired that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't walk a step. Anyway, Xu Na's house was nearby, so she asked Xu Na to send it over. Xu Na was full of promises and quickly delivered, which turned out to be a black T-shirt.

The T-shirt looks bland, but with three lines printed on the front, Jolene pronounces "Dance or Die" (Dance or Die).

Xu Na raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Zhao Linlin and I pooled money to customize it, specifically to help you go out to requisition." How's that, cool?"

"Thank you, I like it very much!" Jolene looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "It's cool, but it's too murderous!"

"You, you can do anything, it's just too cowardly at the critical moment!" Xu Na said mercilessly: "As long as you are a little domineering, you will not be as useless as you are now!"

"I'm not like you, where do you find domineering?" Jolene curled up in her chair and hugged her legs sullenly.

Xu Na leaned closer and said bitterly: "Do you think that domineering is written on your face? Wrong! Domineering is melted into your bones! Like the first time I saw Sister Qiao Lu, although she was quiet, I could immediately feel that she had a momentum that dared to fight; the first time I saw Brother Qiao Nan, although he was leading a group of children to play, I could feel that he was strategizing and would definitely be a good leader in the future. What about you... With all due respect, I've been friends with you for so many years, and I really don't feel the slightest threat from you!"

Qiao Lin wilted even more and said, "You are very right, today Teacher Meng asked me to be the lead dancer, I have no confidence, I always feel that it is difficult for me to take on heavy responsibilities. ”

Xu Na's eyes lit up: "My good man, are you going to be the lead dancer?

"Shhh

Xu Na slapped Qiao Lin on the shoulder twice, with a look of hatred: "My aunt, if you miss such a good opportunity, then I won't be good friends with you in the future!"

"When I wasn't allowed to be the lead dancer, I didn't have any distractions, and as soon as I was asked to be the lead dancer, I panicked, for fear that I wouldn't be able to do it well!"

Xu Na said eagerly: "Classmate Qiao Lin, are you a fool to be a teacher? Especially Teacher Meng, she is a master's degree from Nanjing Normal University! Who can be the lead dancer and who can't, doesn't she even have this ability to judge? Now she wants to promote you to be a general, you have to hide in the corner and be a soldier...... Don't talk about Teacher Meng, I'm disappointed in you!"

As soon as Xu Na spoke, Qiao Lin suddenly understood that maybe Teacher Meng didn't want to be angry with her, but was too disappointed in her. After figuring out this layer, Jolene was also disappointed in herself.

"Nana, if I don't do well, wouldn't Teacher Meng be even more disappointed?"

Xu Na sighed and said: "What do you want to do with all that nonsense? Although you are timid and unconfident, you have a sense of responsibility! Just because of your sense of responsibility, you have to risk your life and lead everyone to win a good result?"

Jolene turned her face away, not wanting her best friend to see it, and she was moved to tears. She had seven or eight points in her mind, but she still confirmed with her friend: "Can I do it?"

"Okay, it must be done! I've never been wrong!" Xu Na was excited, so she picked up Qiao Lin's little face and said emotionally: "Come on, you won't let anyone down!"

Jolene nodded heavily.

While waiting for the traffic light with Xu Na, Xu Na suddenly remembered something and said: "On the day of the holiday, I saw the boy in Class 7 giving Shen Chunxiao a string of beads, and I always felt weird. What kind of gift is this? Shen Chunxiao, a girl who is so vain to the core, will look at ordinary beads in her eyes? In the afternoon, I watched an idol drama for a while, and the heroine who danced ballet caused her ligament to tear because she stepped on the beads on the stairs. Maybe I'm overthinking, but you have to keep an eye on it. ”

There was no doubt that Qiao Lin suddenly remembered the fall where Teacher Meng fell, and her anger suddenly surged to the top of her head. She has never been willing to speculate on others with a vicious mind, and perhaps because of this, every time she is calculated, she always sighs - why would a person who looks like her come up with such a vicious trick?

Early the next morning, Jolene arrived at school and wanted to practice a little earlier. She entered the science and technology building and asked the uncle in the duty room for the key, but she didn't expect Teacher Meng to be there. Teacher Meng was watching the surveillance with her uncle, and she didn't expect Qiao Lin to come to school before seven o'clock, so in a hurry, she immediately turned off the video.

But Jolene could already see clearly that the long-haired girl had bent down and placed something in the middle of the stairs after looking left and right.

Teacher Meng was holding a bead in his hand, which was larger than a normal bead, but smaller than a glass ball. She saw Jolene staring at the bead, put it in her pocket uncomfortably, and handed the key to Jolene as if nothing had happened.

"First, let's go up and practice first, I'll go up later!" said Teacher Meng.

"Hmm. Jolene was distraught, but didn't intend to ask, and turned and stepped up the stairs.

"Jolene, you...... Didn't you see anything?" asked Teacher Meng uneasily.

"Hmm. Jolene told a lie against her will.

Teacher Meng caught up and said in a low voice: "I will go to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow, and I will protect you." We'll get back to the rest. ”

Jolene didn't know exactly what "the big picture meant," but she nodded obediently. For her reasoning, Mr. Meng praised her very much.

The stairs were about to end, Qiao Lin suddenly turned her head, pointed to the black T-shirt she had just put on, and said with all her strength: "Teacher Meng, I want to be the lead dancer!"

"I must be the lead dancer!"

"I must, I must do it better than everybody!"
