The ballerina in the theater swirled and jumped in the center of the stage, and the beams of light quietly followed her, enveloping her, and the audience in the theater followed the actress's steps with their eyes, reveling in her superb performance, until the * part of the Swan Lake music sounded, the ballet finally came to an end, the actors came out in turn for a curtain call, the performance was completed perfectly, the actress finally breathed a sigh of relief, all the performances in the city ended successfully, and finally her wish was fulfilled.

The ballerina is called Xiaoli, this year has passed the year of confusion, and she is also a small achievement in her career, although she has not reached the status of being well-known and one of the best, but she is also well-known in the circle, and has accumulated a small number of fans, although this city is only a third-tier city in the west, and there may not be any development when performing here, and there are no big benefits to her career, but this is her hometown, so it is understandable that she insists on returning here to hold a ballet performance thousands of miles away. And the people in this city are not low in love with ballet.

After the ballet performance, Xiaoli came backstage, there was already a woman of about the same age as her waiting where, the woman saw her coming over, with tears in her eyes and gave her a big hug, and then stuffed a large bouquet of flowers that had been prepared into Xiaoli's arms, and said to Xiaoli excitedly: "You have realized your dream instead of the two of us, and you danced so well." ”

Xiaoli also hugged her tightly and said, "Thank you for coming to see my performance, I thought you hadn't received the tickets I sent you, and I was lost for a long time." ”

The strange woman pretended to be dissatisfied and glanced at her, and pushed her side as before: "Then how can it, I don't want to think about what our relationship is?" Xiaoli also gently pushed her and said with a smile: "That's right, we have known each other for more than ten years." ”

The strange woman's name is Xiao An, she is indeed Xiaoli's best friend, they have known each other for more than ten years, in the first ten years of their relationship, they are like glue, good like a person, until 7.8 years ago, after the two embarked on different life trajectories, they gradually reduced contact, but the feelings are still there. They met when they were young when they were studying ballet, and from elementary school to university, they both grew up together, and both have always held on to their ballet dreams. Xiao An got married 7 years ago, so she gave up ballet.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li Chao Xiao An glanced behind her back, and then asked with some confusion: "Didn't Zhou Cheng come?" I've got two tickets for you. Zhou Cheng is Xiao An's husband and Xiao An's first love, seeing Xiao Li ask about Zhou Cheng, Xiao An's eyes flickered, a little uncomfortable, and then she smiled and said: "What is he doing, he is working overtime, today is the day when the two sisters meet again after so many years, let's get together." ”

Xiaoli curled the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Xiaoli and Xiao'an's party ended, it was already evening, Xiaoli said that she would stay in the city for a while, and the two agreed to meet often during this time, so they said goodbye to each other.

When Xiao An returned home, her husband Zhou Cheng had already taken a bath and was leaning on the sofa in the living room to watch TV, Xiao An looked at Zhou Cheng, more than ten years of comfortable married life has made the once suave and talented Zhou Cheng become a vulgar man, without ambition, he knows that his wife and children are hot all day long, which makes Xiao An look irritable, although his appearance has not changed much, but Xiao An feels that he is tired of him, thinking that in a few years, this person will enter middle age again, and will become more aging and vulgar, Is this the person you fought with Xiaoli back then? Xiaoli felt that she was in a bit of a trance.

Zhou Cheng didn't realize his wife's dislike of him, and when he saw his wife coming back, he happily took out the freshly cut fruit from the refrigerator, put it in front of his wife like a treasure, and let his wife eat it quickly, Xiao An felt that he was the most annoying thing about him, and he sat on the sofa without saying a word, Zhou Cheng realized his wife's unhappiness, and asked cautiously: "Wife, what's wrong with you, what's the trouble, tell me about it." Xiaoli remembered that she was still careful to hide the ballet ticket today, and did not tell Zhou Cheng about Xiaoli's return, just because she was afraid that Xiaoli would have any thoughts about Zhou Cheng again, it seems that she is really self-inflicted, Zhou Cheng is like this, even she can't look down on herself, how can Xiaoli, who is dazzling and has a successful career, be interested, Xiaoli thought of this, and impatiently told Zhou Cheng: "Xiaoli is back, today I went to see her ballet performance." Zhou Cheng let out an unconcerned "oh", and then asked his wife strangely: "Xiaoli is back, you should be happy, how can you be sad." Xiao An felt irritated and uneasy when her husband saw her emotions, she forked a piece of apple from the cut fruit bowl on the table, chewed it a few times, and then said lightly: "I'm not unhappy, I just see that their ballet dancers are still in such good shape, but I'm so fat, I'm just a little worried." In fact, Xiao An is indeed fatter than Xiao Li, because of the comfortable life, she also has some flesh on her body, but it is not ugly, due to the low pressure of married life and easy work, she looks like a comfortable and rich appearance, definitely not ugly, sure enough, when he saw his wife talking about his bad figure, Zhou Cheng smiled and said: "Why are you fat?" I think you're good at looking like this, and I like it. ”

Xiao An thought of Xiaoli's slender waist, girl-like arms and eyes full of vitality, and felt ashamed of self-harm, she didn't pay attention to Zhou Cheng, but ate the fruit on the plate angrily, and thought to herself, was my choice really wrong?

Zhou Cheng looked at his wife who behaved strangely and felt that the woman's mind was becoming more and more difficult to guess. Night had fallen, and in the darkness everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and the arrival of ballerina Xiaoli broke the silence of everyone.

Although there is a trace of subtle emotions for Xiaoli, the obligation of being a good girlfriend is still fulfilled, and after dawn, a good girlfriend is still a good girlfriend, as if the filth that exists in the dark has never existed.

Since Xiao An got married, most of the time has been staying in this city from a small to a big city, except for traveling, never stayed away from the city for a long time, the city is as familiar as his own home, and Xiao Li left this small city many years ago, she has never returned, she has no relatives, so many years have been working hard outside, there is nothing else to the city except the image in the memory, Xiao An is naturally the friendship of the landlord, take out his own time to take Xiao Li to familiarize himself with the city, After all, since resigning from the unit, as a full-time wife, she has the most time.

Today the two of them made an appointment to go shopping, but the time between the two of them was not so good, because they would be interrupted all the time. When the countless times she was interrupted by an enthusiastic fan who recognized her and asked for an autograph, Xiaoli smiled apologetically at Xiao An: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, otherwise we will find a private place to sit." ”

Xiao An smiled at her reluctantly and said, "It's okay, after all, your identity is different now than before, and it is also appropriate for fans to ask you for an autograph." ”

Xiaoli smiled embarrassedly and asked tentatively, "Now?" Where do we go? Can I go to your house? ”

"Huh?" Hearing Xiao An's sudden request, Xiao Li felt a little overwhelmed, she didn't know what Xiao Li's purpose was, she didn't want Xiao Li to go to her home at all, she didn't want her to see her husband who had become mediocre, she didn't want her to see her naughty child, and she didn't want her to see her ordinary and ordinary home, which was too far away from Xiao Li's glamorous and interesting life, she felt that this former sister had gone far ahead of her and made herself unable to catch up anymore.

When she hesitated, Xiaoli asked again: "Is it okay?" ”

Xiao An looked at Xiao Li's eager gaze, and didn't want to look too stingy, so he had to smile at Xiao Li reluctantly: "Of course, let's go." ”

The decision was made, and soon they came to Xiaoli's house.

It's really a weekend, my husband Zhou Cheng and the children who came back from kindergarten are at home, looking at the children who are playing around at home and making a mess of the house, Xiao An deeply feels that it is really an unwise decision to bring Xiaoli to his home without saying hello to them.

As soon as Xiaoli walked into the house, the bag in her hand had not been put down, and the youngest girl rushed over with her little short legs to hug her thighs, tilted her head and pulled the corners of her clothes, and muttered: "Mom, sugar." Xiao An sighed, hugged her aside, and said, "You have worm teeth, you can't eat candy anymore."

The little girl pouted and was dissatisfied and was about to go to her father, Xiaoli looked at Xiao An's two children, and said enviously: "Your child is so cute." Xiao An shook his head and said, "That's because you haven't been a mother yet, and when you have a child, you won't think so." ”

At this time, Zhou Cheng, who was wearing an apron, poked his head out of the kitchen, sweating profusely on his forehead. Said with some surprise: "Xiaoli is here?" Xiao An, why didn't you know to tell me in advance, and I didn't prepare for it. With that, he walked into the kitchen again, and did not forget to explain: "You wait a little longer, I'll make a few more dishes." Xiao An looked at her husband who was busy in the kitchen with an apron, and sighed in her heart, always this picture is not on the table, my life is really a mess, if Xiaoli thinks of what happened back then, I am afraid that I will laugh off my big teeth.

Xiaoli looked at everything in front of her, and suddenly really hoped that her life could start all over again, she didn't feel it when Xiaoli didn't come back, but with Xiaoli's comparison, she felt that she was really a failure.

Standing in front of Xiaoli, who has a successful career and is young and beautiful, she feels that she is really ashamed of self-harm, remembering the legend of a pawnshop in this city that she overheard, she made up her mind to go there.
