Chapter 37: Chasing Dreams
(First Person Statement)
I don't understand why I embarked on the path of dancing, but I love it from the bottom of my heart, and I fell in love with dance at first sight.
- Nanshi
Since I was a child, I grew up being held. My parents always spoiled me in every detail, and they always held their heads high when they went out, proudly saying that I was their good daughter.
At that time, I would always smile shyly and feel happy in the face of praise and encouragement from others.
Because the more you know, the more you don't know.
As I grew up, I realized that people were really weird. Why do they say they want me to get better and better, and there is always an unknown light in my eyes? What is it? Why Dirty Gray?
Gray can also be pure, as clear as water.
It's a trip to troubled waters, and I continue to be myself and leave them alone.
When I was a child, Aunt Xia Yi always came back to the house as a guest, saying that she was talking to my mother about her heart. The two of them are very good friends, and they always smile from ear to ear when they talk about things, and I am happy for them from the bottom of my heart.
However, one day, I actually saw Aunt Xia Yi sobbing alone in the room, and there was no one to comfort her.
What about Mom? Aren't they friends? Why isn't she by Aunt Xia Yi's side?
I couldn't help it, and I stepped forward to ask.
I thought that my footsteps were quiet, and I couldn't see my figure in the dim light, but I didn't expect that just a few steps away, Aunt Xia Yi grabbed the corner of my clothes and called me.
"Don't leave! Where are you......" Aunt Xia Yi never cried. In my eyes, she has always been strong, even if she is tired and uncomfortable, she will not cry.
But now I'm not just crying, it's more like I'm telling some sad things that I didn't want to remember in the past.
I was startled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw my hand, but when I saw the tears in the corners of her eyes and her swollen eyes from crying, I finally couldn't bear it.
I sat down and placed my hand on hers. I know my hands aren't that warm, but they're warmer than one, right?
Although this warmth is small, it does not mean that there is no warmth and no hope.
I don't know if it has anything to do with me. After a few minutes, Aunt Xia Yi's sobbing voice slowly became quieter, lowered, and disappeared after a while.
Probably the best way to comfort is silent companionship......
I felt it at such a young age, but it was not a feeling, and it was a small gain.
This silent companionship is the secret of Aunt Xia Yi and me, and no one said it, including my parents, Yi Rui Hao, and Mu Dongqian.
"I'm sorry, I didn't scare ......" Aunt Xia Yi was about to apologize, but was immediately stopped by me.
"No, everybody gets sad sometimes." I shook my head, my head bobbing from side to side like a rattle, "We are all human beings, not gods. ”
"Yes to ......," she sighed, and although she said she wasn't crying, it still sounded sad, even worse than crying.
At the very least, crying is a form of catharsis.
"Aunt Xia Yi, is there anything I can do?" I really want to help her, but now I don't even know why, how can I help so much?
"You ......," she looked at me, then a flash of joy and hope. I think maybe I can really help her.
"So, you try to imitate my movements." Aunt Xia Yi stood up directly, spinning in circles, tiptoeing, and jumping......
Later I learned that the combination of those movements was dance.
"Come, it's your turn." Aunt Xia Yi smiled at me, probably worried that I hadn't understood it yet, and added, "Didn't you understand?" ”
I thought I could imitate these movements, so I shook my head: "I'll try." "To be honest, I don't know if what seems like a simple move becomes extremely difficult to get started with.
Fortunately, I did it coherently, but the downside was that there was a place in the middle of the middle that I added by myself, and I thought it would be more appropriate.
I thought I didn't do a good job, and I felt a little lost: Actually, looking at Aunt Xia Yi's actions before, I liked it very much. It's been a long time since I've had that kind of fire and enthusiasm burning in my heart.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.
"You haven't studied, have you?" She asked me.
"I haven't learned." I answered truthfully.
"What about you...... Interested in learning from me? ”
Of course I would like: "Hmm! "That's probably the most I've ever nodded my head.
This accident has made the future inevitable.
One day, Aunt Xia Yi came to our house as a guest, and the two of us had agreed to practice together.
"Why are you so mysterious, what are you doing?" I was found by my mother.
I jokingly replied, "Aunt Xia Yi is my teacher now, and I want to practice dancing!" "Full of pride, you know, I am the only "closed disciple" accepted by Aunt Xia Yi.
However, my mother's reaction surprised me, or rather puzzled.
"Why don't you talk to me? Dance, that's going to ......" Halfway through, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, but the voice was still unfamiliar to him that he had never heard before.
"Why not?" My voice rang out.
"No, you know that...... Hey, forget it, you're in for a treat. "Mom's attitude today is very abnormal, maybe she is not in a good mood.
"Hey, long time no see, I just happened to tell you something, Nannan is now my closed disciple! There is only one place for a closed disciple......" Aunt Xia Yi came and brought such a "blockbuster**" to her mother.
"Harm, why don't you talk about it? Xia Yi, you can really ...... now" Mom immediately began to look at me with pretended disgust, and said hello to Aunt Xia Yi.
Mom is just very abnormal today, I can't understand it, but I know that one day I will.
"Don't worry, it's all Nannan's credit, I think she is quite talented, she can become if she practices seriously, no, she can become herself! Just like me back then......" Aunt Xia Yi began to sigh again about what happened to her back then.
It was only during the practice not long ago that I learned that Aunt Xia Yi used to be a dancer and the top flower in the country! just retired from the stage because of some force majeure factors; And now, she has decided to start teaching herself.
I feel like I'm lucky.
"It's easy to say, it's good to say, then you ...... now" Mom started again.
"It doesn't affect you, does it?" Aunt Xia Yi's head was bad again, and she began to think of this question, "Do you have something to do in the afternoon?" ”
"It seems that there is a point, when the time comes, there will be a teacher in Nannan who will come to class in the evening, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to come out now." Mom shook her head and sighed, "There's no meaning that it's not allowed, it's really that Nannan needs to learn a little more now." ”
"Okay, let's talk about that another day." Aunt Xia Yi was a little disappointed, which can be seen completely.
And I was even more curious about what my mother was stopping me for.
Classes start at eight o'clock in the evening, and now it's just over one o'clock in the afternoon, so it's just a simple practice, and it doesn't take four or five hours, right? I believe this, my mother also understands, but she knows why she wants to stop it.
Inexplicably, I always feel that I and Aunt Xia Yi are people who are kept in the dark and don't know the truth.
Curiosity drove me to practice today, and for the first time I wanted to defy my mother's words.
In the evening, after having dinner, I went upstairs.
"Mom, I'll go up and review the content of the last class first."
"Well, remember to listen carefully." Now my mother's smile seems extremely hypocritical in my heart.
I went upstairs, turned on my communication equipment, and notified Mu Dongqian of the coward.
Remember to pick me up under the window!
He quickly replied: How to pick up?
I almost didn't give him a big roll of the eye: what do you think? My mother won't let me go, you come and pick me up and take me to your house.
Although it was very strange, Mu Dongqian still arrived on time.
He especially likes to delve into small things, and when I saw a drone in front of the window, I knew it was him.
So, when I looked down the window, sure enough, he was bent over with his head down; Keep looking, there's a rope.
I was a little scared, but for some reason, I was willing to risk my life to climb down.
When you climb, half your life is scared away.
