In winter, it gets dark very early, especially in Lucerne, and it is cloudy today, it is only four o'clock, and it is already dark, and this gloom will continue until six o'clock, when it is completely dark.

The buildings along the route are already lit up, and they look like stars twinkling in the sky at night. Against the backdrop of the lake and mountains, it looks very beautiful.

Switzerland is a country with abundant water resources, and before the First World War, countless small hydropower plants were built throughout the country, so there was no shortage of electricity in the country, and it was also exported to Germany. Even many parts of northeastern France buy electricity from Switzerland, which is cheaper than the cost of their own electricity.

The sound of the horses' hooves ticked very rhythmically, and the groom fell silent in the night. He sat at the front of the carriage and lit a pipe, the smell of which came in along the cracks in the carriage.

Smelling the smell of tobacco, Zhou Nan suddenly realized that this world was in the human world, unlike the mountains where he served, and it seemed to be an alien planet.

has never been on the battlefield, and Zhou Nan does not have any war syndrome, but his mentality is still in the barracks. It was only at this time that he realized that he was no longer a person within the rules, and that he was free.

The carriage walked to the passage behind the house, and when he saw the lights coming from the house, Zhou Nan couldn't help but open the window of the carriage and shouted, "Kelly, Audrey, I'm back!" Kelly, Audrey, I'm back! ”

Soon, there was a sound of response from inside the house, and the carriage passed quickly, and he did not hear whose voice it was.

But when the carriage went around the gate, I saw that Audrey didn't even wear a coat, so she put on a sweater and ran out. Seeing Zhou Nan getting down from the carriage, she jumped up crying and laughing, and hugged Zhou Nan. "Jonas, my Jonas, I can't believe you're back in my world all of a sudden."

Zhou Nan was a little out of breath by her, and through the sweater, she could feel that her chest had a slight scale, and it was no longer the same pitiful situation as Xiaolongbao in the past.

Before Zhou Nan could speak, her somewhat cold lips were pressed up with burning breath. Zhou Nan also enjoyed her intimacy and dependence, and rubbed her body into her own body.

The gray-bearded groom watched their affection, smiling and smoking his pipe, waiting for them without the slightest impatience.

Kelly and a girl Zhou Nan didn't know also ran out from behind, and when she saw Zhou Nan and Audrey kissing each other affectionately, Kelly laughed happily, touched John, who kept wagging her tail, and looked at Ollie again, and then began to move her luggage down, and settled the fare with the groom.

The kiss's tongue was numb, Zhou Nan and Audrey finally separated, the two looked at each other stupidly and smiled, and couldn't help but get together again. But this time it's just a shallow taste, and after separation, I laughed again, and then kissed again, but I couldn't kiss enough.

The girl couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, it seems that we have all become superfluous people today, Aunt Kelly, I'll help you." ”

Zhou Nan stopped intimacy with Audrey at this time, turned around and hugged Kelly who had already helped him take off his luggage. "Kelly, I'm back."

Kelly's eyes were also moist, and she stroked Zhou Nan's face with her hand and smiled: "In my heart, you have never left." ”

Audrey pulled the girl and introduced, "Jonas, this is Stephanie Buch, and her father is Hunter Lear, the same Mr. Buch who used to help us build the docks. She and I both attended high school in Lucerne and are now my best friends. ”

"Hello, Miss Bucher. Nice to meet you. ”

"I'm also glad to meet you, for the days I knew Audrey, her world was almost entirely you. You can call me Stephanie. ”

"Okay, Stephanie. In fact, my world is all about her. ”

"I see." She pursed her lips and laughed. Her appearance was average, there were many freckles on her face, but she was in good shape, but this smile immediately filled her relatively thin three-dimensional facial features with an intellectual charm.

After sending off the groom, several of them began to move their luggage into the house, and the mouths of the women did not stop, asking him why he did not tell them when they had returned, asking him how he had come back, asking him if his affairs in the army had been taken care of, and asking him where Ollie was from.

For half an hour, Zhou Nan was being questioned by two women in turn. Audrey kept holding Zhou Nan and pestering him like a conjoined baby, making Stephanie laugh all the time.

Then, Kelly got busy, looking at the kitchen materials and planning to make a hearty meal.

The fireplace at home was burning, and the house didn't feel cold at all, so Zhou Nan also took off his coat and heavy boots, and replaced them with a pair of light slippers.

Moving his luggage to the second floor, as soon as he put down his things, Audrey put it up again and handed him a towel to wipe his hands. "Tomorrow I will go to school again, and it will not be too late for you to clean up, and now your task is to accompany me."

"Of course......" Zhou Nan wiped his hands and threw the towel directly on the sofa. I'll be with you now. ”

When going down the stairs, Zhou Nan couldn't help but ask, "Yannick, did they have a letter?" ”

"No ......" Seeing that Zhou Nan was a little worried, she comforted: "Maybe it's not their problem, it is said that the German border has not been opened yet." ”

Zhou Nan nodded. "When I find out about the situation, I will accompany you to the Netherlands to find your mother."

Audrey snorted, nodded heavily, and smiled.

During the meal, Zhou Nan found that Stephanie and Audrey had a really good relationship, and the two of them were not only in the same class, but also learning modern dance at the same time.

In this era, modern dance was considered deviant and not a mainstream art form.

The teacher who taught them was a classical dancer from Belarus, who was initially reluctant to teach Audrey modern dance, believing that it would tarnish her reputation.

But in order to survive, she agreed to give guidance on some technical skills after Audrey paid a large amount of tuition. And according to some of the representative movements that Zhou Nan painted for Audrey, a set of dances called the goddess Olympus was choreographed.

Audrey's choice of modern dance is also a helpless move, because her original dream since childhood was to become a ballet dancer, but unfortunately she is now taller, and no ballet company will recruit a female dancer of 1.7 meters, and she doesn't want to give up her dream, so she studied modern dance at the suggestion of Zhou Nan.

The genre of modern dance was introduced from the United States more than 30 years ago, and not many people in Europe agree with it. Because Europe has always been known for being conservative in its acceptance of new things.

Classical dance generally has rigorous procedures, standardized movements and relatively superb skills, and the requirements for the image of the characters are simply harsh.

Like Audrey's height of 1.7 meters, it was not a problem at all in later generations, but now in Europe, girls who dance ballet are required to be less than 1.65 meters tall, and some of the more famous ballet companies require a height difference of no more than two centimeters.

For example, if their requirement is 1.65 meters, then if it is higher than 1.66 meters and less than 1.64 meters, they will not ask for it.

Audrey and Zhou Nan give her advice, but Stephanie can only bear the injustice of fate. Like Audrey, she also studied ballet since she was a child, and was once a well-known little ballet dancer in Lucerne, performing on the big stage.

But after entering puberty, she has also grown very quickly, and now she has grown to 1.75 meters. Even Audrey's 1.7 meters is not suitable for ballet, and her height makes her have no chance at all.

When she was distressed, she met Audrey, a person who shared her illness. She is also now studying modern dance with Audrey and dreams of getting back on stage in a different way.

Zhou Nan is also the reason why he mentioned modern dance, but in fact, he does not know much about dance, and his understanding of modern dance is only limited to the evening performances and videos that he has seen in another life. But some classic movements are deeply impressed in his mind.

In the past, the two exchanged letters between the two people, and it was difficult for Zhou Nan to explain clearly, but now that he is back at home, the two of them are face to face, and Zhou Nan also told her in detail about the two modern dances that he was more impressed with from his own perspective.

These two modern dances, one of which is a solo female dance, describe the difficult process of a butterfly turning from a silkworm chrysalis into a butterfly. The whole dance requires a very high level of basic skills, and there are many difficult movements that require not only strength, but also a very high degree of flexibility in the body. Accompanied by small movements such as convulsions, stiffness, shaking, tension, relaxation, and etherealness, a memorable dance is formed.

The other is a pas de deux, which shows rigidity and softness. Men and women are paired together, showing the rigidity of men and the softness of women on the stage. Zhou Nan has a deep memory of this dance because it was the first time he felt the charm of dance, and some of the coordinated movements between the two were very exciting.

Although Zhou Nan doesn't know much about himself, his insight has traveled through more than half a century of history, and has fully demonstrated the essence of the development of modern dance for such a long time.

The two girls were so fascinated by it that they couldn't even take care of eating, so they wanted to dig out a little more knowledge from Zhou Nan's brain.

Whether it is the action implication of the psychological expressionist school or the action conflict of the symbolist school, although Zhou Nan cannot summarize it with some theories, it has opened a bright window for the two girls, so that they will no longer explore alone.

It wasn't until Kelly looked at the table full of food in displeasure and urged them to hurry up and eat that Zhou Nan quickly ended the relief and let them eat first.

Audrey was excited, glanced at Kelly, and said secretly: "Wait a minute, I'll show you the dance, let you see my results this year." ”

Zhou Nan also laughed. "I can't ask for it."
