Chapter 25: Learning the Waltz
Through the glass wall of the ward, Cheng Xiaoyue looked at Cheng Wei lying on the hospital bed in the room, there were a lot of tubes inserted in his body, and the doctors and nurses were busy around him, which seemed to be very serious.
This hospital is the top in S City, she believes in the doctor's level of treatment, but in her impression, her father is only a little gentler when he doesn't drink, but he also yells at his mother and herself, she has never seen her father so weak, and her mood is a little complicated. No matter how scummy he is, he is also the only relative in the world here.
Lin Yichen looked at her lonely back, his eyebrows furrowed, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, he approached Cheng Xiaoyue's side, and also glanced at the situation in the ward, but he retracted his gaze and locked his eyes on Cheng Xiaoyue.
Suddenly said: "What, regret it?" ”
"What?" Cheng Xiaoyue didn't keep up with his thoughts for a while, looked at Lin Yichen with a blank expression, and asked softly, "What did you say?" ”
Lin Yichen looked at her dazed appearance, inexplicably thought of the cute little rabbit, and he couldn't say it a second time, so he rarely repeated: "Let me ask you, do you regret saving your father?" ”
"No, why go back?" Cheng Xiaoyue shook her head.
The answer he got was as unpleasant as he thought. Lin Yichen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's good that you don't regret it, now you have to go back with me to prepare for the banquet." ”
When Cheng Xiaoyue heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Is the banquet today?" ”
Lin Yichen shook his head and replied, "The day after tomorrow!" ”
Day after tomorrow?
Cheng Xiaoyue tilted her head, a little puzzled, isn't there still two days left? What's in a hurry? What else do you need to prepare for a banquet? Is it because you are afraid that you will run away? Then he said: "Don't worry, I promised you, I will definitely not regret it, and I will definitely participate when the time comes." ”
Her thoughts were written on her face, Lin Yichen saw through it at a glance, he was about to speak with his hands in front of him, when he saw the secretary Amy coming over out of the corner of his eye.
"Miss Cheng!" After Amy approached, she greeted Cheng Xiaoyue with a smile, and then looked at Lin Yichen and said, "President, I have already checked the matter you asked me to investigate." ”
Lin Yichen's expression became serious, he glanced at Cheng Xiaoyue, motioned Amy not to say anything yet, and then walked to the other side of the corridor with his long legs.
Lin Yichen's avoidance of her eyes made Cheng Xiaoyue feel a little depressed, but she thought about it, it might be some secret, official business or something, and it was natural not to disclose it to an outsider.
After a while, in less than ten minutes, Amy came back, and Lin Yichen was gone.
Amy noticed Cheng Xiaoyue's searching gaze behind her, and explained understandingly: "There is an urgent matter in the company, the president went back first, and before the president left, he specially instructed me to serve you well." “
Cheng Xiaoyue's face was slightly red, she was not a child and did not need to be taken care of by others. But under Amy's gaze, she couldn't speak, so she changed the topic and asked, "That, what does Lin Yichen mean by asking me to prepare for the banquet just now, do you know?" ”
"I know, that's the case, it's a banquet where high-end business celebrities gather, and the people who go are all high-class figures, the banquet is more advanced, and there will be some processes such as the opening dance, and the candidate for this year's opening dance is the president, and there have been presidents every year in the past, but they were rejected by the president."
"Dancing?" Cheng Xiaoyue's eyes widened, "I can't dance." ”
When Amy heard this, she was stunned, Miss Cheng's focus was really strange. You must know that the president chose him to participate in this banquet, which means announcing to the woman who covets him in the whole S City: He Lin Yichen has a master, and this hostess is her Cheng Xiaoyue.
Does Cheng Xiaoyue really not understand, or is she pretending to be simple? Amy doesn't know, she just knows that if she changes to any other woman, she will faint with excitement, right?
"What can I do? I promised him, but I really don't know how to dance at all, what if I embarrass him when the time comes? No, I have to call Lin Yichen and ask him to choose another one who can dance. ”
Cheng Xiaoyue muttered to herself anxiously, and was about to take out the mobile phone in her bag.
"Miss Cheng, don't call yet." Amy hurriedly interrupted Cheng Xiaoyue, who said that one came out and one came out: "That's exactly why, that's why the president asked you to prepare?" ”
"That's right!" Cheng Xiaoyue reacted one step later. But she was still a little worried, in just two days, would she be able to learn?
Amy saw the worry on her face and comforted, "Miss Cheng, you have to believe in yourself." ”
Cheng Xiaoyue reluctantly responded with a smile, thinking that Lin Yichen still had to say it and let him make a backup plan.
At this point, Amy urged: "The president has hired the best dance teacher for you, Miss Cheng, let's go back to practice first, the car is already waiting outside." ”
"Alright, alright, let's go back." Cheng Xiaoyue replied hurriedly.
This is the equivalent exchange he promised Lin Yichen, no matter whether she can do it in the end or not, she must try hard first, otherwise she will have no way to explain to herself.
She walked as soon as she walked, stopped before she could take a few steps, and looked back worriedly at her father in the ward.
She's just gone, is it really okay?
Amy quietly covered Cheng Xiaoyue's gaze, and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng, don't worry, the VIP medical service here is the best in the whole S city." ”
Cheng Xiaoyue nodded, she didn't know anything, she just couldn't help but want to care.
The driver quickly sent Cheng Xiaoyue and Amy to Lin Yichen's private luxury apartment.
In the yoga room of the apartment, the dance teacher invited by Lin Yichen was already waiting.
The dance teacher is a little old, just by looking at it, she knows that she is a strict teacher, she greeted the people who came in with a smile, but the smile was not distracting at all, and Cheng Xiaoyue was a little stunned in her heart.
"Teacher, Miss Cheng will be handed over to you, I will be in the living room outside, if there is anything, let the maid find me"
Amy left after speaking, and only Cheng Xiaoyue and the dance teacher were left in the yoga room. After Amy left, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, and the dance teacher had a very serious face.
Cheng Xiaoyue stammered and greeted: "Dance teacher, you, hello!" ”
Although her grades were not bad when she was in school, because her family was poor, her father took it out to gamble whenever she had money. The school often has to pay some money such as tuition and miscellaneous fees, and she always delays paying it until the last day, and she is often sneered by many teachers, so she has some shadows on the teachers.
The dance teacher didn't mean to greet at all, and asked, "Miss Cheng, do you have dancing skills?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyue shook her head.
"Do you know yoga?"
Cheng Xiaoyue shook her head again.
"You'll always split it, right?" The dance teacher's tone was a little impatient.
Cheng Xiaoyue thought about it and shook her head again, her head was about to bow her head to the ground, it can be seen that she is really ashamed, in fact, she will not split herself, I only remember that she would when she was a child, but she didn't have the opportunity to split when she grew up, so I don't know if she will.
"Then try to split a fork against the wall for me first." The dance teacher looked at Miss Cheng's pitiful appearance, and felt a little unbearable, and her tone became a little gentle.
"Good!" Cheng Xiaoyue immediately did so, but fortunately, her body flexibility was relatively good, and she successfully did it.
Her success is okay in the eyes of ordinary people, but according to the strict nature of the dance teacher, the level is not up to par, but the dance teacher just frowned and said: "It's enough to learn ballroom dancing at this level, you stand up first, I'm going to hand over your ballroom dance today is a waltz, I'll dance it first, you look at it carefully, and I'll take a look at it later." ”
This is not a compliment, but Cheng Xiaoyue was very happy when she heard it. She stood up obediently, carefully watching and reciting the dance teacher's movements.
The dance teacher's dancing posture is as elegant as a white swan, and her every move is as light as a ballet dancer on Broadway, Cheng Xiaoyue is unconsciously immersed in it when she looks at it, forgetting what she was going to do.
At the end of the dance, the dance teacher asked Cheng Xiaoyue to dance according to her memory, and she naturally either stepped on her left foot or forgot her dance steps, dancing nondescriptly, like a clumsy and sad duck.
The dance teacher immediately got angry and shouted, "Stop, stop, stop, what are you dancing?" It's just ballroom dancing, there are not a few complicated dance steps, are you serious! You only have two days to study, you can't do that! ”
"I'm sorry!" Cheng Xiaoyue stopped hurriedly and apologized guiltily.
The dance teacher thought about the reward, took a deep breath to calm himself, and said, "Next, you follow me, you can do whatever I do, and we will split the dance steps step by step." ”
Cheng Xiaoyue nodded hurriedly, and began to learn with trepidation and fear following the dance teacher's movements.
Some people are more resilient to pressure when they study, and stress can become their motivation. But there are still some weak ability to resist pressure, the more strict you are, the greater the pressure on him, obviously very simple things, read them a few more times, maybe you will understand, just because the pressure is great, but it will not be.
Cheng Xiaoyue is undoubtedly the latter, she actually gradually memorized the dance steps in her mind, but the yoga room sounded from time to time,
"No, that's not right, the hand is elevated, the neck should be stretched out, it is elegant, not the neck."
"What are you looking at me, look in the mirror, follow the mirror and learn!"
"What are you looking in the mirror! Look at me, look at how I dance. ”
……
In the back, Cheng Xiaoyue was sweating profusely, and she didn't know what she was dancing, she should play with her left foot, she should leave her right foot, and when she should turn right, she turned left. In just one afternoon, her self-confidence was hit to an all-time low.
"It's almost time," the dance teacher looked at the time and said, "That's it for today, Miss Cheng, you still have to practice more, if you still look like this tomorrow, you can't do it." ”
Cheng Xiaoyue nodded to indicate that she knew, and after sending off the dance teacher with Amy, her mood that had been sluggish today was only a little better.
Amy looked at Cheng Xiaoyue, who was covered in sweat and looked like she had been salvaged in the water, and suggested, "Miss Cheng, do you want the maid to prepare bath water for you?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyue naturally nodded in agreement, she was sore all over her body now, and she urgently needed hot water to relieve some tired muscles. After the break, she had to practice again.
"Hey, Amy, what is this?" Turning around and walking back to the living room, Cheng Xiaoyue saw a beautifully packaged rectangular box on the coffee table in the living room.
Amy smiled and encouraged, "This is given to you by the president, you can open it and take a look." ”
