Chapter 11: Meet Shen Qian
I noticed a girl with her skirt fluttering and her eyes like smoke ready to speak. The streamer is flying, and the whole person is like a flower through the fog, hazy and ethereal, flashing with beautiful colors, but it is so far away. She was a little short among the dancers, but her face was still outstanding under heavy makeup. I was sure she was a beauty, even though I couldn't see her face without makeup. I saw her lightly jumping into the air and posing with a move and a word horse, with a chic and graceful posture. Unexpectedly, her shoes slipped off her feet and tumbled on the stage and fell into the dark audience. The movements are slight, and if the eyes are not on her, it is not easy to notice. I saw her hesitate for a moment, then swept her eyes to the place where the dancing shoes flew out, and turned to pretend that nothing happened, and continued to blend in with the atmosphere of the dance barefoot. The shoe was not far from me, and I moved quickly, leaning forward and snatching the dancing shoe in front of my college classmates. "You can grab it all." I ignored his complaints, and held my dancing shoes tightly in my hand like a treasure.
It wasn't until after the end of the show that I sneaked to the backstage studio to look around, and at this moment these young girls had already taken off their makeup, and I couldn't tell the difference. There was a girl sitting in front of the mirror dressing up, and when her eyes were firmly fixed on the dancing shoes in my hand, I tentatively put the dancing shoes on with both hands. She turned to stand, my hands in the air for a long time. When she took off her makeup, she was even fresher, her face was delicate, and her eyes were as clear as a lake. She tried to get the shoes back from me and said thank you. However, my body was stiff as if it were frozen, and my heart was turbulent. She looked up at me slightly, opened her rosy lips and said again, "Thank you." Only then did I come back to my senses and let go, and Mu Ne replied politely. She saw that my handsome face and her eyes stopped for a moment, and there was a sudden silence in the air, and I could no longer find a word to talk to, and she did not have any more politeness and politeness.
I had to leave reluctantly, but luckily I had prepared before I came, and stuffed a slip of paper with my name and mobile phone number in my shoes. That night, my classmates and I were separated, and I stood alone outside the door of the theater, smoking a cigarette and waiting for her to call. My heart turned over the river and the sea, the waves were magnificent, it was difficult to suppress it for a long time, and it was difficult to calm my mind.
Late at night, I was anxious in my bed in my dorm room, tossing and turning, fantasizing about what it would be like for us to meet. Did she cry? The way she looked at me was distinctly strange, but her cold eyes seemed to be repelling thousands of miles away. For the first time, I was short of words in front of a girl who was different from the bookish classmates I had seen on college campus. She is so mysterious and lofty, and her eyes are so pure and clear. I couldn't sleep for a long time, and spent the whole night in my endless imagination until dawn.
There were no tasks at school, so I made up for sleep during the day and didn't go to the cafeteria until late in the evening. In the cafeteria, I received a strange call, and the voice on my phone was a girl, gentle and powerful, with a hint of nervousness in her voice. She asked me if I was Qin Yuan, and I said yes. I asked her if she was the girl I had returned her shoes at the theater last night, and she said yes. I was so excited, I had imagined so many possibilities in my dorm room last night, and I had thought of everything I was going to say to her. Then she said some high-sounding, general words of gratitude. When I saw the suggestion, the verbal thanks were insincere, so it was better to invite me to dinner in person, whatever you wanted. There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and I guessed that she might not have thought that such a small favor was not worth the invitation to dinner to express her gratitude. But she agreed to my offer, and we made an appointment to meet near the hotel where she was staying. Before I came, I went to the ATM and withdrew 300 yuan in my pocket, and I sat luxuriously and hurried to the agreed place in a hurry.
At her suggestion, we went to a small hot pot restaurant to eat shabu mutton. On that day, she plundered the powder, but the dress was very casual. I can't tell if she deliberately dressed up or whether she paid attention to this meeting, because I don't know what she usually looks like and how she lives. Anyway, I only go out after I have carefully selected my clothes.
We asked for not much meat and vegetables that day, but we ate for almost two hours. The first time I heard her name was Shen Qian, she was a dancer in the Inner Mongolia Art Troupe, and they often performed everywhere. She is two years younger than me, and she is just 21 years old, but she has been performing with the art troupe for three years. She only started to learn dancing at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and graduated from the art school of Inner Mongolia Technical College. Among the actors who learn dance, she learned dance late, but she is extremely diligent and diligent, she feels that diligence can make up for her clumsiness, only in this way can she integrate into the art troupe as soon as possible and keep her place. In the usual large-scale performance troupe, the main dance is ethnic dance, mainly our local Mongolian dance, and occasionally choreographs some youthful dance music suitable for the taste of young people. What I encountered that day was the newly choreographed dance music, because of the mistake of throwing shoes, she had been taught a lesson by the leaders of the regiment before I went backstage to find her, and she felt wronged so she was sad and cried.
I didn't expect to gain so much from the first meeting, I don't know if she is really innocent, has no scheming or is really unguarded and wary of me. In short, we talked very speculatively, and between the lines, you could feel the difficulties and hardships of her life since childhood. I can't help but feel a steady stream of admiration and pity for her. I told her that I was a law student and was about to graduate, and she was envious of my carefree life on the university campus and made me cherish my current life. At the same time, I learned that she is also a native of Hoh, she lives in the area of the Haidong Road Public Security Department, and we are in the north of the city and the west of the city, and we are not particularly far apart.
At the end of the meal, I quietly checked out while she went to the bathroom without paying attention. When I returned to the dinner table, I asked her bluntly, "Shen Qian, do you have a partner?" "I like to play a little trick, and I have a history of some flowers and plants. But I have a principle, if she says yes, or if she is silent, noncommittal, I will stay away and never talk again. She was a little cramped, and then shyly lowered her head and said, "No." She looked at the time and said, "We have to maintain a long period of basic training every day when we dance." I had to practice in my room at night before I went to bed, and I couldn't eat too much to stay in shape. Such words clearly meant the end, and I picked up her bag and prepared to send her home, making a gesture of please.
She said unhurriedly: "Our group lives not far from here, so we don't need to send it." Wait for me to settle the bill, and we'll go. ”
I said lightly, "I'm done." ”
"Huh? Have you knotted? Didn't you say I'm in for a treat? "She wanted to get her bag back and pay the bill, but I insisted on not returning it.
"How can you make a girl spend money, that's not my style. Let's go, I'll send you. ”
"What's so embarrassing about this, Qin ...... Far, you're still in school. ”
"Shen Qian, our meeting is fate, it's right that I'm in school, but I can't lack at least a gentleman's demeanor. Next time you please, okay. ”
"Okay, then I'll ask for it next time."
Shen Qian was insistent, no longer insisted, and obediently walked out of the restaurant and walked in front to lead the way. I chased her two steps and let her go to the side closer to the shop, and I walked side by side with her on the side near the vehicle. The two of us swung our arms, close at hand, as if we had a heart. Shen Qian smiled casually, the smile was very touching against the dim street lamp, and there was a hint of subtlety and shyness. My right hand grabbed her left hand, and she didn't resist, her obedient fingers clasped tightly.
