After the performance, Paul, who was sitting on the judges' seat, whispered something to the man who had caused me leg cramps, and the man looked at me with a smile, his thick eyebrows slightly raised and a little uninhibited. "Mr. Paul asked you what's wrong with your leg." His metallic magnetic voice is transparent and mellow, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mr. Paul's translator, Xiao Se." ”

Suddenly, my blood became as cold as ice. Xiao Se, it's really him! My legs were trembling, and this tremor immediately spread from my legs to my limbs, and I was already unsteady on my feet, and subconsciously grabbed Zhuo Yichen's arm.

"Tong Xin's calf cramps, it's not easy for her to keep jumping." Zhuo Yichen's clear voice was like a spring breeze blowing in his ears.

Xiao Se translated Zhuo Yichen's words to Paul, who smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.

I was supported by Zhuo Yichen and took a seat in the seating area behind the judges' seat. In fact, my calves no longer hurt, but I felt uncomfortable and weak, and I sat down in a chair, my hands and feet were weak. Zhuo Yichen also had to be a dance partner for the other actors who participated in the audition, and returned to behind the curtain.

Xiao Se sat close to me, he didn't look back, and seemed to be very attentive to the actors' performances. I forced myself to focus on the actor on stage, but his back kept shaking in front of my eyes, I was dizzy and flustered, and finally I couldn't sit still anymore and quietly got up and left the rehearsal hall.

I went upstairs to the practice room alone, habitually sat on the floor with my legs crossed, took out the sewing kit, and began to thread the needle and thread. Girls who learn ballet, basically from the age of 10, carry a sewing kit with them, and study and transform their ballet shoes before practice or during rest time. I stared at the flesh-pink ballet shoes in a daze, my hands moving mechanically, but my mind drifted back to many years ago.

I was 17 years old and I was 14 years old. When I was 10 years old, I was admitted to Haicheng Dance School, which is diagonally opposite Haicheng Science and Technology Middle School. Seventeen-year-old Xiao Se is a "bully" at the middle school of science and technology, and often gathers a group of boys who are as uneducated as him to come to our dance school to hang around. There are many beautiful girls in the dance school, and they are looking for targets to talk to and flirt with, and if anyone offends them, they will definitely be "repaired". And I fell into their clutches.

I still don't understand how I, who was so thin and inconspicuous at the time, could get the attention of those bastards. That day, I was buying ballet pointe shoes at a small ballet shop next to the school gate, and the salesperson handed me a new pair of flesh-pink shoes, which I took and sat on a small stool in the store to try them on. When you get a new pair of ballet shoes, you must try them on, this is an extremely important procedure, and a pair of ballet shoes that do not fit will never be worn on stage.

"You studied ballet?" A young, slightly flirtatious male voice rang out.

I turned my head and saw that it was a tall, thin boy, who was Xiao Se in high school. At that time, he had a small parted head, leaning on the edge of the counter, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he looked quite handsome, but he was so angry that I looked disgusted and ignored him. I tried on my shoes, paid the money, didn't look at Xiao Se again, and walked towards the door of the small shop.

As soon as he took a few steps, his wrist was grabbed by Xiao Se. "Why don't you ignore people." He leaned down to me, and a piece of soot fell right on the back of my hand, and I was so hot that I wanted to shake my hand, but he held me tightly, and snatched my ballet shoes from my hand with the other hand.
