Yu Meng took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the small idyllic fabric sofa next to the bed, this sofa was thrown away when a soloist left the dance troupe last year, the actress married a rich man, and when she left, all the furniture she purchased in the single apartment was gone, the sofa was originally a complete set, I liked it very much, but the dormitory could not fit it, so I could only pick up the smallest single sofa.

"Do you still remember the first time we went on stage, wearing thin tights and leggings" Yu Meng sighed, "At that time, I felt uncomfortable, every pore was waiting for the audience's critical eyes, and we did not hesitate to torture ourselves in various ways in order to wear tights to look good." ”

"Of course I do." I have a kinship at heart. At that time, when we were ten years old, we lost weight in the summer, obviously we were already very thin, and we had to control our weight at all costs, and our ideal face shape was a thin layer of skin on our facial features. The happiness of eating can be forgotten, and thinness is the fundamental happiness.

I remember not eating a staple food for a semester, and I always symbolically went to the cafeteria with a plate to spend the difficult meal time. Our way of losing weight is to wrap plastic wrap tightly around the parts that we think need to lose weight, wrap them in several layers back and forth, wrap them tightly and then put on a diet suit, and run dozens of laps in the playground on a hot day. Slimming clothes are not breathable, and as soon as the temperature is high, the sweat will naturally come down, so that you can successfully lose a pound in one day. If you don't go for a run, wrap it in plastic wrap when it's hot, and wear two sweaters and a down jacket to cover your sweat, but this will be less effective than exercising.

Yu Meng and I recalled the painful weight loss experience back then, and smiled bitterly at each other. Later, we all strictly controlled our weight, and we have not experienced such a "devil's weight loss" for many years.

"It's not a big deal, just sweat a little more and get more prickly heat." Yu Meng comforted me, "I used to be able to endure it at such a young age, but now that I am an adult, I can endure hardships even more." And if you endure hardship, you will become a superior person. ”

"You're quite right." I have never been afraid of hardship, there is a dialect saying "hardship is as a supplement", I have always been well aware of the truth.

"Let's talk about something funny, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in another month, I heard Zhu Zunyi say after the rehearsal just now, he plans to dance the swan dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival in the troupe, and also pry Zhuo Yichen and Li Sumiao to dance the four little swans with him." Yu Meng said and smiled, "Zhu Zunyi, that living treasure, has a lot of bad ideas. ”

I couldn't help but laugh just by imagining a couple of men in tutus. "Aren't there four little swans, but there's another one?"

"There is also a Zhu Zunyi who is looking for a candidate. There are so many male actors in the dance troupe, any one of them can play, but Zhu Zunyi wants to use non-professionals, and it is okay to say that it is a security uncle, which can create an unexpected comedic effect. Yu Meng pursed the corners of her mouth, "But Zhuo Yichen and Li Sumiao are not happy, Zhuo Yichen is ashamed, Li Sumiao is too naïve, and then it depends on whether Zhu Zunyi has the ability to convince them, I am looking forward to seeing the male version of the Four Little Swans." ”

"I'm also looking forward to it" I also had the same curious expectations, but thinking that one month was the deadline given to me by Qin Feng, my mood sank again, and my mood was like the rain and fog outside the window, hazy and confused. A month later, I saw the antics of the male version of the Four Little Swans, can I laugh out?

From the second day, I tried my best to lose weight and train hard in the hot and scorching heat to keep my position as the heroine. Starchy food can not be touched at all, often hungry, in addition to the practice of wrapping plastic wrap and slimming clothes to the playground to run dozens of laps when I was a student, I also kept kicking my legs, jumping rope, rolling on the floor I gritted my teeth, telling myself not to cry. But two weeks later, when I stood on the scale again and saw the hands pointing quickly to 53 kilograms, the unforgiving reality finally made me slump on the ground and burst into tears.

"Are you sad about the soaring weight?" the familiar voice drifted with the night breeze. It was late, and I was the only one left in the practice hall still fighting stubbornly against my weight. In the dead of night, I was startled by a sudden sound. When I turned around, I saw Xiao Se standing

At the entrance to the practice hall, with his hands in his trouser pockets, he stared at me with a smile on his lips and burning eyes. Listening to his tone, it was obvious that he had been standing for a long time, and he could see it when I weighed it.

I was wrapped in a thick layer of plastic wrap, dripping sweat from head to toe, looking very embarrassed, and my mood was persistently depressed, and at this time, in the face of his annoying smiling face, the already terrible emotions suddenly exploded. "Get out," I yelled at him, and then broke down and cried bitterly, touching my swollen feet as I cried, as if to vent the depression and pain of studying ballet in the past few years.

Xiao Se looked at me in some surprise, the smile on his face disappeared for some time, and his voice was much lower: "Tong Xin, I didn't mean to make fun of you, don't look like enemies." ”

I didn't pay any attention to him, and in the rushing tears, the stinging in my heart expanded, expanding into a sad and sad emotion. I have been a strong child since I was a child, no matter how hard and tired I am, I rarely shed tears, and the last time I broke down and cried, it has been six years now, and it is all thanks to Xiao Se. Now he appeared again when I was at my worst, causing me to cry again.

Xiao Se walked over to me.

"There's a security guard downstairs, and I can hear him when I shout" My hostility towards him was rekindled.

He paused, his eyes revealing a bit of helplessness. "I don't want to do anything, I just have a few words to tell you."

"What," I looked at him warily.

He crouched down to look at me. "Learning ballet is hard, physical pain, physical challenges, the monotony of childhood and flowering, but only the pleasure obtained in the limit of suffering is the most unforgettable, therefore, the real pleasure of a ballerina.

It was obtained through hard work. ”

I stared at Xiao Se in amazement, unable to believe that these words had come from his mouth.

"This is the words of a once very good ballerina, written in a diary." Xiao Se saw my surprise and explained.

"Who is that actress?" I asked curiously.

There was a spasm at the corner of Xiao Se's mouth, and he lowered his head, and he quickly stood up. I was stunned, and intuitively felt that he was hiding some kind of emotion.

"It's time for me to go." He raised his eyes, his gaze lingering on my face for a few moments, "I have no ill will towards you, and I hope you don't think of me as an enemy again." ”

He turned around and strode out of the practice hall.

I watched with some daze, and after a while, wiped the tears from my face and stood up again. At that time, I had already questioned myself, this kind of selfless weight loss hard training, can I practice the fun of dancing the heroine Since I was ten years old, for ten years, my life has never been inseparable from practice. When I first entered the dance school, I was not good in the eyes of my teachers. My bounce and muscular qualities weren't very good from an athletic point of view, and I wasn't explosive enough. Although I feel very good at dancing and have a natural sensitivity to music, in the eyes of my teachers, it is far less important than muscle and strength.

In the first two years of dance school, our training program and intensity were similar to those of gymnasts, with lots of running and skipping rope, and high-intensity abs and back muscle training. There are also indispensable kicks, splits, and spins, which are boring and boring, and the life route at that time was dormitories, classrooms, and practice rooms, three points and one line, every day. Even though I have been training hard, I am still one of the students who are relatively backward in my class. The school has a rule that students who fail to pass the exam every semester will be returned to a regular elementary school, so for a long time, I often dreamed of being kicked out of the dance school.

It wasn't until the third year that a new ballet teacher came from the Beijing Dance Academy, and she recognized my dancing sense and expression skills, and she helped me regain my self-confidence and lead me to the right course. At the same time, as I grew older, my physical fitness and physique have also made great progress, and I finally transformed from a "poor student" on the verge of dropping out to one of the best students in my class.

Xiao Se's words turned out to be like the teacher who guided me back then, and instantly enlightened me. "Only the pleasure that can be obtained in the limit of suffering is the most unforgettable", I don't know who the once excellent ballerina that Xiao Se is talking about, but I have a strange feeling that she may have some kind of inextricable fate with me.

I wiped away my tears and continued to practice. It was late at night when I left the practice hall, and as I walked out of the company's building, the security guard downstairs called out to me and said that a gentleman had sent me a package to open it and look at it. I asked what the gentleman looked like, and the security guard said that he was not from the regiment, but he had often seen him recently, he was very tall and handsome.

I immediately thought it was Xiao Se, and I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. The package was soft-packaged, I took it back to the dormitory, unpacked it with scissors, and a piece of paper fell out, still in a bold and chic font: a friend brought back a weight loss suit from France, it is said that the effect is very good, I will lend it to you first, and there is no need to return it in a hurry.

I opened up the weight loss suit and it was a full set of white clothes and pants. The weight loss clothing we wear for sports is a sealed pull-in top and pants, and the limbs, waist, and neckline openings are fastened to the human body with drawstrings or elastic bands. This diet suit is somewhat similar in appearance, but it comes with a wire plug and an adjustment device. The packaging bag is accompanied by an instruction manual, which is densely packed with French, and there is a printed Chinese instruction paper inside, which is printed after Xiao Se's own translation, the content is that this set of slimming clothes only needs to be worn on the body, plugged in, and manually adjusted, it will produce the effect of sauna detoxification and weight loss, green and healthy, and will not cause any harm to the body.
