22. Half-sister

The next night, at the end of the season, the driver asked her to take her to the performance site that she had made an appointment with Teacher Zeng, and when she got out of the car, she saw a photo of a ballet dancer wearing a dance dress that looked a little similar to the end of the season was enlarged and hung at the door, with two big words written on it: childlike! And that person is the half-sister of the end of the season, and she is also the current principal of Shenyang Ballet.

"It seems that the development of childlike innocence has also been very good in recent years." Zeng Qiu is familiar with Tong Xin, when she takes the end of the season to often compete with Tong Xin, Tong Xin is recognized as a ballet dancer with high talent and aura, she is two years younger than the end of the season, and she is a star who has just been poached from Germany by Shenyang Ballet this year.

"yes, she's always been good." Childlike innocence is more of a competitor for the end of the season, and the blood relationship that they can't break if they want to break it is a topic that both of them try to avoid.

"Let's go, it's almost time to start."

The Shenyang Ballet performed Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, which has been repeatedly adapted as an old ballet work, has challenging significance.

Sitting in the audience at the end of the season, watching the music play, the dancers' graceful bodies moving with it, fingers unconsciously beating the beat, the Nutcracker ...... She also danced in the past, and the dance picture in front of her and the scene of her own dance practice in the past alternately appeared in her mind, Zeng Qiu, who was sitting on the side, had already felt the irrepressible excitement in her heart at the end of the season, and she knew how deep this girl's love for ballet was in her heart, although she always denied her feelings for ballet.

When Childlike Innocence appeared, the tears at the end of the season fell uncontrollably, and Childlike's dancing skills improved a lot, what was she doing when she worked hard for her dreams over the years?

Chasing an unrealistic marriage, she is envious of releasing her childlike innocence on the stage, as if she saw her happy self on the stage in the past.

When the curtain ended, applause rang out, and at the end of the season, he quietly walked to the sidelines alone to settle his thoughts.

"End of the season!"

At the end of the season, I looked back and saw a childlike innocence who didn't even have time to change his dance clothes.

"Something?"

"Why are you here today?"

"My teacher is Teacher Zeng Qiu, you should have heard that she came back from abroad and wanted to watch a ballet performance in Shenyang."

"Yes...... So? Childlike eyes that were originally full of anticipation gradually dimmed, she laughed at herself in her heart, when she was on the stage, she saw Ji Mo sitting below, and immediately felt very happy, she thought she was coming to see her on purpose, but I also wanted to know how she could come to see her.

"Well, you danced very well, congratulations!" The lukewarm tone doesn't show how close they are at all, but it's not as unbearable as someone else's half-sisters who want to tear each other apart.

"You, did you really give up ballet?"

"Miss Tong, it seems like I've given up for two years."

"I had only recently returned to China, when I heard in Germany that you had been accepted into the Royal Ballet and thought you would stay there." At that time, Tong Xin was really happy when she heard that she was admitted to the Royal Ballet at the end of the season, and told her father that she would go to the UK like the end of the season in the future, but it didn't take long to hear the news that she had given up her place to know that she was going to get married.

"It's all old things, don't mention it, there should be something else on your side, I won't bother." At the end of the season, I really don't like to talk to the child, every time I talk to her, I feel very difficult, and it seems that it is not right for her to use any attitude. Knowing the past of adults, I know that I shouldn't count all those negative emotions on the childlike head, but every time I see her, I remind her of how sad her mother's struggle in marriage is.

At the end of the season, I simply said goodbye politely, and just wanted to turn around and leave here quickly.

"Sister."

"Miss Tong, I said, don't call me this title, I'm not your sister, okay?" When Tong Xin knew that there was such a person, she had already identified Ji Mo as her sister, she liked Ji Mo, I can't say why, maybe it was Ji Mo's forbearance every time she made her uncomfortable, and the faint guilt in her heart made her want to get close to Ji Mo.

"Right...... I'm sorry! It's just that we've only seen each other for a long time. ”

"Yes, we've seen each other again in a long time, and I thought most of the time, it's better for us not to see each other, don't you think? Miss Tong. ”

"I understand."

"It's good that you really understand, today's performance is wonderful, you dance very well, and I look forward to seeing your better work."

This time, the end of the season really ignored her, walked to the door hall, waited for the teacher to come out, and didn't arrive until she walked out of the hall, and the original suffocation in her chest would feel better.

She doesn't know how other people's children would react if they encounter such a bloody thing as half-brother, but she is completely unacceptable, in the past she didn't understand why her father didn't love her, and never hugged her, and one day she understood the meaning of the word "dad" and had no expectations for the term "dad".

Not being angry is the limit of what she can do.

Zeng Qiu also walked out of the performance hall not long after, and exchanged feelings about the whole performance with Ji Mo, when they were chatting at the door and waiting for the driver to drive over, a familiar middle-aged man figure walked by face to face with them, the man was about 40 years old, dressed quite decently, his hair was neatly groomed, and he was holding a beautiful bouquet of lilies in his hand, and when she walked past Ji Mo, she didn't even pause and walked straight in.

I thought that there would be no more heartache for this man, but when it really appeared in front of him, Ji Mo's heart was still stung.

"Xinxin, my darling, I'm so sorry Dad didn't make it to your show."

"Daddy! Why are you here now? ”

"The plane was delayed, and it was a pity that I couldn't go on stage to send flowers to our little princess."

This is the childlike heart who saw that the end of the season standing with Zeng Qiu did not go far, they ...... I guess I've already had a photo, right?

"Daddy...... Today, my sister came to see me. Ji Shuyun paused for three seconds to understand who the sister Tong Xin was talking about, and saw the two people with their backs to them along the childlike gaze, the girl's back was so familiar, she had obviously walked face to face before, but he didn't know that she was standing there.

“…… Xiao Mo "seemed to be a difficult sound coming out of his throat, and Ji Mo only thought it was ridiculous, probably thinking about her name for a long time.

"Professor Ji, long time no see." Ji Mo turned around and the face that was somewhat similar to the childlike heart appeared in front of Ji Shuyun, and he was stabbed hard in the depths of his heart, I don't know when it started, this daughter, who was also related to him by blood, had already called him Professor Ji coldly.

Ji Shuyun was furious back then, and the news that he didn't want Jiangshan and his wife and children for the sake of women spread throughout Shenyang City, and Ji Zuyi forced him to resign as Ji's president if he had to be with Tong Li.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shuyun really did what he said when he was 8 years old at the end of the quarter, resigned from the position of president, left China with Tong Li and Tong Xin's mother and daughter, and went to the United States to become a university professor, and did not return to China until Tong Xin was 12 years old.

Occasionally, Ji Shuyun will also allow to visit Ji Mo's mother Yao Qinyin in the sanatorium, but basically only for the divorce, he knows that he is destined to be sorry for Ji Mo and Yao Qinyin in this life.

"Xiao Mo, you seem to be doing well."

"TOEFL." Doing well? The end of the season wants to ask if he is joking? No one in the entire Shenyang City knows that she, Mrs. Tang, has done a lot of inconsistencies, and I don't know where he got the conclusion that she is "doing well".

"Your mother'......"

"It's also good, you can go and see her when you have time, I think she'll be happy."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go to see her when I go back this time."

"I appreciate you going, but if it's out of time, please don't say it, just take it as your kindness." Ji Mo refers to Ji Shuyun every time he looked for Yao Qinyin a few years ago, he mentioned divorce, and when Ji Shuyun took Tong Li's mother and daughter to leave Shenyang City, he and Yao Qinyin were almost only left with disputes, one strongly asked for divorce, and the other refused to divorce, Ji Mo didn't dare to say it all, but she knew that a big reason why her mother would go crazy was the pressure of Ji Shuyun to divorce.

"I know."

The scene was cold for a while, in fact, there was no need to remind Ji Shuyun at the end of the season that he would not mention the divorce with the current Yao Qinyin again, so many years have passed, although he regrets that he has never given Tong Li's mother and daughter their due name, but he has never been able to continue to force his wife to say that he wants to divorce.

Even though they got married out of a business marriage, they did well in the first few years, until Tong Li's appearance destroyed the family, which was not united by love in the first place. Ji Shuyun made a mistake that all men in the world are prone to make, and if he wants to make a mistake, he will never look back.

For the end of the season, Ji Shuyun really loved her from the bottom of her heart, after all, it was his blood and bones, and when she was a child, she really hugged her and hoped that she would grow up healthy and happy.

It's just that the love between him and Tong Li came too suddenly, and he thought that it should end here for the sake of the family, but he knew that he could never forget Tong Li, otherwise he wouldn't let the 3-year-old go to ballet at the end of the season, just because Tong Li was born in a ballet art troupe and loves to dance.

An unmarried woman was easily discriminated against when she was alone with a child in that era, when Ji Shuyun saw that her eldest daughter could dress up like a little princess in Ji's house every day and eat exquisite cakes, her other daughter even grabbed food with her hands, just because she was too hungry, and from that moment on, the better he was at the end of the season, how much guilt he felt.
