The White Swan Falling into the Mortal World (5)
ο»Ώ
We stood quietly, but there seemed to be a natural barrier between us, which made people feel very awkward.
After a while, Xiao Se broke the embarrassing silence. "Let's go, go to the turntable."
The night was late, and the night breeze carried a chill. Luckily, I changed into a long-sleeved shirt, but Xiao Se was still wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt.
"Are you cold," I blurted out.
"If I said it was cold, would you take off your clothes for me to wear," Xiao Se's voice was smiling.
I shut up and cared about him with good intentions, but I was teased by his words, and I was adding to my own blockage.
Xiao Se smiled at me and walked up the open staircase to the third floor.
On the turntable on the third floor, Xiao Se stood against the railing, and his figure was clearly reflected on the glass curtain wall opposite.
"This glass curtain wall is good as a mirror." He also discovered the function of the glass curtain wall, and then he stood facing the wall, and he didn't look back for a long time, and he didn't speak, I couldn't bear it, and walked to him, his eyes were looking ahead, he was pondering something, and the expression on his face was very depressed.
"You" I rarely saw him look like this, I wanted to ask the truth, but the words came to my mouth but couldn't spit out.
Xiao Se narrowed his eyes and smiled unnaturally. "I'm studying the glass faΓ§ade of this building, and I have a task for you to complete."
"What task" I'm curious.
"You ballet dancers, you have to deal with the mirror every day, you pay attention, when someone looks in the mirror, they don't behave normally." "Don't ask why, I'll tell you then." β
I have other questions: "What do you mean by not behaving normally?"
"Like looking in the mirror, you're a little scared or something." Xiao Se smiled, "I'm sure you'll find out." β
I was full of doubts, but I believed that Xiao Se must have a reason for this task, so I didn't get to the bottom of it.
Xiao Se sent me back to the dormitory, and met Yin Jingshu and Yu Meng on the way, under the street lamp, I could see that their eyes were red, as if they had cried.
"Xiao Xinxin, what are you doing, you were abducted and run away silently, you are really a heavy color and a light friend. I didn't even notice that you were gone, and then Yu Meng and Brother Chen rushed to the hospital and asked about you, only to hear that Head Yu said that you and Xiao Gongzi left first. Yin Jingshu hummed and complained. Don't look at her usual heartlessness, she is actually very emotional.
I'm ashamed and speechless. Xiao Se defended on my behalf: "I dragged Tong Xin away, I want to wash away her grievances and prove that she has nothing to do with Ye Zihan's fall." β
"It can't be related in the first place, don't listen to the security guard's nonsense, there is no evidence. I think he's suspicious of himself, because I used to like his pectoral muscles. Yin Jingshu smacked her lips, "I think you are making excuses and want Xiao Xin Xin to accompany you to bask in the moonlight." β
Xiao Se coughed lightly. "Tonight's moonshine doesn't seem to be very good, and I won't choose to bask in the moonshine tonight. Let's get down to business, did Ye Zihan have surgery?"
"Zihan's parents, mothers, and aunts are here, and surgery will be arranged later. The rest of us couldn't help much, so we came back first. Yin Jingshu's expression suddenly became solemn, "The doctor said that if the recovery is good in the later stage after the operation, walking should not be affected too much, but severe comminuted fractures are difficult to anatomically reduce, the ankle bone is facing weight-bearing, and the fracture is accompanied by ligaments, joint capsule tearing, and the stability of the reconstructed posterior joint will definitely be affected." Ballet kung fu is on the feet, so the possibility of returning to the stage is basically zero. β
Although I had expected such a result, after hearing Yin Jingshu say the doctor's conclusion, my heart still twitched, and my eyes immediately became hot and wet.
"The future is too bleak." Yu Meng's sad voice came lightly, "No one knows what will happen tomorrow, maybe an accident, an accident, our efforts for so many years will be in vain, and we will lose all our money." β
I understood what Yu Meng was referring to. The dancers of our dance troupe often joke that after studying ballet for seven years, it is enough to dance for more than seven years. But in fact, most people don't have enough to dance, and there are many people who dance for one, two, or three years, and there are those who don't have the opportunity to wear ballet shoes after graduation. Yu Meng and I are still four years away from Ben. And when she was in dance school, Yu Meng almost lost her money because she had serious bone spurs on her ankles.
Sad, I don't realize that my eyes are wet. And Yu Meng quietly shed tears and sighed sadly. "I hope Zihan can also be like me back then, betting to win God. However, just because I won this bet doesn't mean I'll win next time, and I don't know what kind of bet I'll run into. β
"What happened to you back then" Yin Jingshu looked at Yu Meng and asked, she didn't know what happened to us at school back then.
"It's nothing, the past, don't mention it." Yu Meng wiped away her tears, and could see that she was trying her best to calm herself.
Yin Jingshu saw that she didn't want to say, so she didn't want to ask again.
Xiao Se left silently, and Yu Meng and Yin Jingshu and I also returned to the dormitory, silent all the way.
Back in my room, I sat quietly on the edge of the bed, feeling that my heart was haunted by an unspeakable emotion, restless, restless. As soon as I turned my head, I saw a diet shirt hanging on the simple hanger, I got up and walked over quickly, took off the diet clothes and put them on, and put the electric plug into the socket. The heat began to sweep through the body, and gradually all the distracting thoughts disappeared, and the mind was cleared.
The next day, an emergency meeting of the leadership was held in the regiment to discuss the next steps. During the lunch break, Yin Jingshu revealed to me in advance that due to the urgency of time, several leaders comprehensively considered various factors such as personal level and tacit understanding, and finally decided that Group B would be at the top, that is, Zhuo Yichen and I would replace Ye Zihan and Zhu Zunyi as the heroes and heroines of the public performance. Although this is what I dreamed of, I didn't feel excited at all, this is not a fair competition result, but at the cost of one party's withdrawal, I would rather continue to be a B corner, and I don't want Ye Zihan to suffer such a misfortune
"What did Qin Feng say," I asked sullenly, thinking that he must be biased towards Lan Jingyu.
But Yin Jingshu's answer was beyond my expectations: "I think it's quite strange, I think that Qin Feng and that sassy fox are so close, they will definitely speak for her." Unexpectedly, he was the first to propose, directly from Group B. However, Paul said that at present, the level of group B and group C is about the same, and two groups can compete and the winner can participate in the performance, or the two groups take turns, and there will be a total of three performances, one group can jump two times, and one group can jump once. Everyone thought Paul's proposal was reasonable, but the problem was that there was only one week left before the performance, and the number of rehearsals for groups B and C was too small, so they could only concentrate on pushing one group. If you want to compete, you have to wait until after the performance. β
I was also quite surprised, it is true that as Paul said, the level of our two groups is about the same, and Lan Jingyu has been improving, this is undeniable, if Qin Feng is biased towards Lan Jingyu, there is nothing wrong with it, but he did not do it. Could it be that he and Lan Jingyu were just playing on the spot, and they didn't really want to help her, if so, wouldn't Lan Jingyu suffer a big loss.
But I don't have the energy to care about the relationship between Qin Feng and Lan Jingyu anymore. Before the results of the leaders' meeting were officially announced, I fell into the whirlpool of rumors. When I went to the bathroom, I heard two group dancers outside talking secretly in the booth. One of them said: "You heard that no, it was someone who looked at the A corner of Ye Zihan, so I pushed her downstairs and wanted to replace her."
"I heard that it is said that people have wanted to be a corner for a long time, and it has been said that Ye Zihan is an insurmountable mountain. It is too despicable to use such vicious means," said the other person, "Also, Paul's translator is the son of the chairman of the Shaw Group, and they took the initiative to give him a hug, just to climb the high branches and pave the way for his future." It's really unscrupulous to achieve the end, it's too shameless.
The initiator of the rumors, I don't have to guess that I know it's Lan Jingyu, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she overheard what I said to Zhuo Yichen, I said that I dream of becoming a corner, that Zihan is an insurmountable mountain, she wrote it down word for word, and Xiao Se was seen by her overnight in my dormitory. Now she can't wait to spread the rumors, I really want the world to mess up, I put my wrist to my lips, opened my mouth and bit down hard, my teeth sink deep into the muscles, I was so hard that my whole body trembled, and my fighting spirit was also raised in pain. Don't be knocked down, I say to myself, the more you mess up, the more proud the enemy becomes
During the intervals in the afternoon, I sensed that everyone looked at me differently. However, Qin Feng only let Group B and Group C take turns, and did not say a word about the decision to hold the meeting, and I began to suspect that it was the leaders who changed their minds because they heard the rumors, and the uneasy and chaotic emotions continued to increase in my heart.
"Tong Xin, just be yourself." Zhuo Yichen sensed that I was in a bad mood and whispered to me, "I didn't want to mention it, for fear of affecting your mood, but your mood has been affected." Don't pay attention to what others say, rumors stop at the wise. β
I smiled wryly. "But what if the wise man doesn't appear?"
"It's going to happen, don't worry." His warm and trusting eyes have the power to calm people's hearts, and I tried my best to calm my nervous mood and play steadily in the platoon.
Today, Paul has not come, and Xiao Se naturally has not appeared. I didn't forget the task assigned by Xiao Se, I secretly observed when I was resting, and when someone looked in the mirror, they didn't behave normally. But today it was a row of rows, and I didn't see anything in front of the mirror all the time like I usually practiced.
In the evening, the head of the troupe, Yu Xingpei, came, and announced the results of the leadership's research and discussion in public, and Group B went all out to prepare for the performance. As soon as Captain Yu's words fell, countless eyes were projected at me, accompanied by whispered discussions. I don't know if it's psychological, but I think those eyes are cold, angry, and reproachful. As long as the police do not find out the facts for a day, my grievances will not be cleared.
