Urging Marriage (1)
During the opening performance, I had an emergency on stage, and when I was halfway through the jump, my leg suddenly cramped, and I was almost out of my body of fear, but almost at the same second, I was at ease, and willpower is indispensable for a ballerina, trying to control myself and endure the pain in my muscles, and on the other hand, I grasped the emotional expression of the character more carefully. My support at that time was the sentence that Ye Ying wrote in his diary: "The white swan is a goose turned from a human." β
The show was an unprecedented success, especially after my Black Swan completed 32 spectacular laps, and thunderous applause flooded the entire theater. After the whole performance, the audience collectively gave a standing ovation and cheers, mixed with whistles from time to time, showing great enthusiasm and excitement, and the atmosphere was shocking.
I excitedly returned backstage, the long-lasting applause and cheers still echoing in my ears.
After removing my makeup and changing my clothes, I came out and saw Xiao Se waiting for me in the corridor. "You performed fantastic tonight, absolutely world-class!" He was not sparing in words of praise.
"I had cramps on stage." I complained to him coquettishly, "It's like when you suddenly appeared in the audition and were scared by your leg cramps, it's like history repeating itself, but fortunately it didn't affect the performance." β
He smiled, smiling leisurely. "It's true that I was scared during the audition, but your leg cramps in tonight's performance have nothing to do with me, on the contrary, without my assistance, how could you play the black swan so perfectly. When you are interviewed by reporters, don't forget to thank the man behind you. Journalists like to grasp the details the most, and I can help you remember how we trained hard together. β
This is clearly a naked teasing, I didn't obey his wishes, and deliberately sang a duet with him: "I want to thank and thank my dance partner, how can you have your share." I'm training hard with him, so what does it have to do with you. β
"It's immoral for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge." He put his arm around my waist and bit my ear, "I still have a lot of scars on my body, I can go to the examination as proof." β
There are people coming and going here, and he actually doesn't care about his image so much. "Go away." I pushed him, "It's not good for people to see it." β
"Kiss me and I'll walk away." He made rascalous demands.
Seeing that there was no one around, I was going to give him a peck in the face and deal with it. But just as I was about to touch him, he suddenly turned his head, and my lips slid over his cheeks and landed on his, and I was anxious to move away, but he held me tightly and stuck with me. At this moment, a familiar and surprised call came: "Xin Xinβ"
We were shocked at the same time, and we were abruptly separated.
I was so scared that my legs were weak, it was my mother's voice, she and my dad had come to me and Xiao Se, the two of them came without saying hello in advance, and they were in full view of the scene just now. What's worse is that it wasn't just my parents who saw that scene, they were also followed by my uncle, aunt, aunt, second aunt and aunt's daughter, except for my cousin who pursed her lips and snickered, everyone else looked at me and Xiao Se dumbfounded, and I really wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
"Mommy, Dad." I shouted nervously.
"Uncle, aunt......" Xiao Se was also frightened, it was the first time I had seen him look so red-faced and red-eared, and his hands and feet were at a loss.
Dad stared at Xiao Se coldly, his face tightened, and he was scaryly serious. Mom is gentle, but a pair of eyes also revolve around Xiao Se.
"It's ...... It's me...... My boyfriend...... I haven't had time to tell you yet...... "In the panic, I can only introduce it like this, if I don't admit his identity, the behavior just now will be even more unforgivable in the eyes of the elders."
"Tong Xin and I dated on the premise of marriage." Xiao Se also came to his senses, and hurriedly tried to save his image, "I am willing to accept any test from my uncle and aunt." β
Dad's face softened a little, and after looking at Xiao Se, Mom seemed to be quite satisfied with his appearance, and a smile appeared on her face. "This is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit together, and go to the hotel where we are staying, how about it?"
Xiao Se and I had no choice but to say yes. The hotel where they stayed was not far from the theater, and Xiao Se offered to drive everyone over, so according to my parents' request, he first drove his newly bought high-end luxury Audi A6, sent my uncle, aunt, aunt and second aunt back to the hotel, and then came back to pick me up and my parents and cousin.
I asked Xiao Se why he chose the Audi A6 for the car, and the car looked a bit old-fashioned and didn't quite match his fashion style. He actually replied brazenly, because he saw that the Audi A6 is the car with the highest earthquake rate in the world, and almost every Audi A6 has had a car earthquake incident, which should be especially suitable for playing this kind of game. This answer was naturally despised by me, but he laughed wantonly: "When your performance is over, we will also contribute to the global vibration rate of this car." β
Thinking of the new car that Xiao Se bought with bad intentions, and now carrying my conservative elders, I was so happy that I quickly covered my mouth so that I didn't laugh out loud.
"Xin Xin, your boyfriend is so handsome." While we waited at the theater, my cousin praised Xiao Se's appearance.
"What's the use of being handsome, a man who is too handsome can't be trusted." Dad, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
"You said that because you weren't handsome." Mom objected. My mother was a big beauty when she was young, and my father was not amazing, and my appearance was mainly inherited from my mother.
Dad was silent again when she said this.
After getting into the car, I sat in the passenger seat, and Xiao Se scolded me in a low voice: "Why didn't your parents tell me when they came, I wasn't prepared at all, it was too rude." β
I reluctantly told him that I didn't know beforehand. I called them before and asked if they wanted to come to the Swan Lake show and could keep their tickets, but they were still working and said they would tell me when they had to arrange a time. I thought they would only be able to watch the later performances, where did they expect to appear at the opening ceremony. I heard that her cousin who was working in the field took a vacation to return to her hometown, and she had a good friend who was the title sponsor of the opening ceremony, and she still had some tickets left, so she was invited to Haicheng to watch the performance, and there was a bus to pick her up, she
I simply brought a few elders to me to cheer for me, and after watching the performance, I used the weekend to play in Haicheng for two days. Now that the arrangements have been made, my parents didn't call me again, and they were going to surprise me after the show.
Who knew that their so-called surprise became a shock for me and Xiao Se, I never mentioned Xiao Se to them, if they came to the show this time, I would not arrange for Xiao Se to meet them, after all, there are uncertainties between me and Xiao Se, whether in the past or now, and the future is unpredictable. My cohabitation with him was also temporary, and I originally planned to move back to my apartment after the performance, but they "suddenly attacked", which caught me and Xiao Se off guard, and I had to expose our relationship.
When I arrived at the hotel room, not only my parents wanted to talk to Xiao Se, but also my uncles and aunts all came.
At the beginning, it was my father who asked questions, mainly in terms of academic qualifications and work, and I heard that Xiao Se was a returnee doctor and also worked in an internationally renowned architectural firm, and a smile slowly appeared on my father's extremely serious face.
Mom is concerned about his family background, as well as whether his future mother-in-law gets along well, Xiao Se truthfully explained the family situation, and especially emphasized that he does not rely on the family, he has always lived independently, and he will not live at home after marriage. My mother asked another question that I also want to know the answer to: "Xin Xin is now in the middle of her dance career, she wants to keep dancing, and we don't want her to give up her future because of marriage and children
Don't think about having children for a while after getting married? β
"I will support Tong Xin unconditionally." Xiao Se immediately said, "If she wants to have a child, she decides when she will give birth." If she doesn't want to have children, I'm okay with that. My deceased mother was also a ballet dancer, my dad and I are very able to understand the hardships of ballet dancers, I will never ask Tong Xin to make any sacrifices for me, I love her, understand her, respect her, and of course support and encourage her, and do my best to help her realize her dreams. β
I believe that Xiao Se's words must have come from the bottom of his heart, and he had already thought it through, not on the spur of the moment. Tenderness and emotion stirred in my heart, and my eyes were a little moist.
Mom was obviously moved, and her eyes flashed with maternal tenderness when she looked at Xiao Se. And although Dad still didn't smile, his eyes were much softer than before.
My uncles and aunts also began to take turns to ask about their monthly salary, their work, their real estate, and their father's career. I couldn't even listen to it anymore, but I couldn't interfere with it. Xiao Se responded politely and decently, as long as it was clear and convenient for him to reveal, he would answer them one by one.
Later, my parents probably thought that this would make Xiao Se feel that the quality of our relatives was low, so they spoke out to end this chaotic Q&A. "It's not early, Xin Xin still has to rehearse and perform tomorrow, Xiao Xiao, you can send her back." Dad's "Xiao Xiao" shouted quite kindly.
"Good!" Xiao Se agreed a little flattered, and then remembered something, "Tong Xin hasn't seen you for a long time, there must be something to say, I'll wait outside first." β
As soon as Xiao Se closed the door from the outside, the room exploded, and my uncles and aunts all agreed with me finding this boyfriend, and they wanted me to marry immediately.
