Chapter 265: I Love Ballet Ballet Don't Love Me
Natalia was silent, her head bowed and looking straight in a certain direction, not knowing what she was thinking.
Beibei's nerves were already more sensitive, and she followed Natalia's line of sight, only to see that she had been staring at her feet, with a look of envy and jealousy, which was unprecedented.
The two biggest fears of dancers are nothing more than gaining weight and leaving the stage, and Natalia is a dance fanatic, and it is only one situation that can make her so emotionally exposed. Thinking of this, Bei Bei probably made a decision in her heart, she must have a big problem with her body, otherwise she would not have chosen to retire during this time period.
Sure enough, she didn't let the two of them wait too long, she raised her head to look at Beibei, and then took a deep breath and said what she had never mentioned to anyone, her expression was so sad.
"Everybody says I'm lucky because I've made it a success and made me known to all the people in the world who love ballet, but who knows the sweat I put in, the hardships I faced and the pain I endured. How glamorous the appearance is, how painful the heart is, is talking about us ballet Wu actors. Her brows tightened, as if she remembered some painful memories, and the smile on her lips became bitter.
Lisa looked at the dancer she had always admired and stroked her shoulder comfortingly: "Who says it's not." Ballet is not as elegant as outsiders think, her suffering is wrapped in gorgeous dancing shoes, and all kinds of tastes are only known to herself. ”
Then she looked at Bei Bei and continued: "But diligent practice, isn't it a necessary cultivation for dancers? No matter how hard and tired you are, as long as you stand on the stage and perform, you can forget all the sweat and tears, and listen to the applause, it is worth it. Everyone has to go through that boring pain in the first stage, compared to those who are unknown. You are indeed lucky. At least I still adore you. ”
Natalia smiled approvingly at her and continued: "I started ballet at the age of five, and at the age of 16 I started my dance career on the big stage. I always knew that I had bone spurs on both ankles, and I always endured the pain when I practiced, and I didn't want others to know; Every day, my feet and dancing shoes are silently fighting, and the pain is increasing day by day. ”
Lisa and Natalia are about the same age. Although all were once dancers of the Paris Ballet. But the time has diverged, one person has joined the group and one has left, although they know each other, the relationship is ordinary, and they can't even nod their heads. In the past few years, because of Beibei's relationship. The two became familiar with each other a lot.
People who have a common experience have a common language, and they can empathize with it when they say it, and Lisa is also uncomfortable when she hears Natalia's words. She was late in her initiation. The jump was not long, but there were also a lot of injuries on both legs.
Bei Bei bowed her head in silence. Thinking about it that way, she should be grateful to Lisa for protecting her, except for some bump sprains, there are no major problems with her legs.
Natalia gently held her feet and said, "A few years ago, I had a major surgery. In fact, these feet are already scarred and cannot bear it. The last time I had surgery, the doctor told me not to dance anymore, but I was not reconciled. I love ballet so much, and I haven't fulfilled my dream since childhood. How can you not jump? I wanted to complete this world tour, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. ”
Looking at Natalia who broke down and cried, Bei Bei and Lisa were silent, looking straight at her legs, wearing thick clothes, but still thin.
When she first saw Natalia, Bei Bei knew that this was such a proud and elegant but extremely stubborn lady, if she wanted her to submit defeat and show weakness, I am afraid that she would be better than Ascend to the Heavens. But at this time, she was like a lost child, crying helplessly and sadly.
People have to go through a lot in this life, but how many of them are unspeakable pains.
Lisa hugged her without saying a word, tears in her eyes.
Bei Bei looked at the dancing shoes and practice clothes that he threw in the room at will, and his heart was extremely depressed. She thought of Zhou Jing, Liu Huiwen, and even Xu Jie, these people have paid a lot for ballet, just like Natalia in front of her.
The leg is the life of a dancer, and he always tries his best to protect but can't avoid injury. The heart is broken, time can slowly heal, but the dancer's leg is injured, so there is no point in qiē.
Bei Bei saw that her feelings calmed down a little, and asked cautiously, "Did the doctor say what is the worst outcome?" ”
"Two months ago, the doctor suggested that I have surgery, but I have been dragging it out, and during this time, as soon as I changed into my dancing shoes, I felt that my feet hurt badly, and I knew that I could not delay any longer." She said with a sad face: "The doctor said that if I succeed, then I can walk like a normal person, but I can no longer dance; If the surgery fails, then I will lose my left leg forever. ”
Lisa was shocked to hear the news and began to pray.
Natalia was unusually calm, perhaps resigned to her fate, and muttered to herself, "But for me, who can no longer dance, what difference does it make if both legs are crippled at the same time or one leg is kept." ”
Lisa folded her hands on her chest and sighed, "I love ballet, but ballet doesn't love me!" What a hurtful sentence, but it is the truest portrayal of this circle. ”
Bei Bei kept muttering this sentence in her mouth, and her heart was clear for a while, because she always knew what her pursuit was, and she was not paranoid or fanatical.
Ballet is as important to some people as life, but for her, it is a profession, just do your best, and do not insist on perfection.
Lisa has always said that her dancing is casual but spiritual, perhaps it is because of this mentality that she has not rigidly polished her spirituality, and can still innovate unscrupulously.
She raised her head and looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "It's great to like one thing all your life, but it's stupid to dedicate your whole life to this thing." The world is so big, you can't stay stuck in this little circle all the time. I admit that dancing ballet is addictive and the applause on stage can be intoxicating, but we live in this world, we only have one life, and we should not live so singlely. At least, I won't. ”
The two were stunned for a moment when they heard Beibei's argument, and looked at the girl in front of them blankly. In their concept, if you like it, you should contribute a qiē, which is worthy of the art of ballet. But why didn't this girl, who is called a ballet genius by many, follow such a code? Is it because of this mentality that she can be so good?
"So, all these years you go out on adventures whenever you have time?" Lisa still has a lot of opinions about Beibei's activities, and she never thought that she would like those dangerous sports, and it was useless to stop them.
Bei Bei stuck out her tongue and shrugged: "That's a good channel for me to vent my stress, you won't want to deprive it." ”
Lisa looked at Bei Bei who was staring at her with wide eyes and blinking, and poked her head with a smile: "Don't hide it from me if you want to play in the future, pay attention to safety." ”
Bebe playfully performed the Boy Scout salute and looked at the smile on Natalia's lips with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
