As usual, Gray brought Shaida to the studio, reclined on the couch, sat her beside her, and massaged her right leg with her ointmented hand.

It doesn't matter if the leg hurts or not, this time of the day is somehow the softest and most relaxed moment in the heart.

Because he liked it so much, he didn't even dare to tolerate such a pleasure for a long time, and always sent her away within half an hour. Of course, it was also so that she would not be too tired and affect the next day's lesson.

But today is special, she looks lost, she depends on herself, and she needs herself.

Shaida tried hard to "straighten out" her mentality - the one in front of her, but the one who hadn't slept well for two days! The night before, he was still busy rehearsing the dance drama for the principal, and he has been busy until now, can he not be tired?

And I actually think about him crankily, it's so hateful!

She was concentrating, intending to concentrate on the work at hand, but listened to Fantasia's voice whispering and lazily chatting with her.

Vantacia never talked much, and he was usually quiet at such moments, not knowing what he was thinking. Today, though, he seems to be a little different.

"I just went to Holden and looked at the rules of that game, and it was interesting."

"Race?"

As soon as the words came out, Shaida already realized that he must be referring to the game he was going to participate in. Sure enough, he called himself over at this time, not just because he was tired and needed a massage, but because he wanted to talk to her about the competition.

So, did he deliberately look at the rules? …… For her?

The hand involuntarily stopped, but Vantaxia apparently didn't really care if she was massaging it attentively.

"In this competition, there is a special rule, that is, you can use assistant actors. I don't ask what the identity or origin of this assistant actor is, and I don't even need to report the name of the assistant actor. If there is such a rule, it is a good thing for you. ”

Shaida looked at him puzzled, only to hear him continue: "So this time, I suggest you choose a pas de deux - a pas de deux with a male partner. Although you don't have the experience, there are two main advantages to choosing this option: one is that if the partner is good enough, he will know how to help you cover up the flaws and perform at the best level, and the other is that I have a ready-made pas de deux that is perfect for you. ”

Shaida was dumbfounded when she heard it - that is, everything that bothered her, the way she competed, the choice of dance codes, had he already thought about it for her?

He has no such responsibilities and obligations at all, but he has always helped and cared for her silently with a gentle heart.

What a blessing and gratitude for everything!

I feel more and more that a "thank you" is too empty and pale, and there is no way to express the gratitude in my heart. So when I looked at Fantaxia, I couldn't say the word "thank you".

It is as if the emotion of gratitude, like a snowball in the heart, rolls bigger and bigger, and becomes more and more solemn, and finally it becomes impossible to express in words.

Looking at her jaw-dropping appearance, Gray found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Well, don't worry about it anymore, just take it as a good opportunity to improve. The worse you get, the faster you run, isn't that what you're best at? ”

In Gray's heart, this guy seems to have always been the desperate Saburo who can't be defeated and overwhelmed, even if his face is full of self-doubt now, it's still her.

Seeing her gritting her teeth and desperately pursuing a goal that seemed out of reach, it always made people want to gently push her from behind.

Now, the expression of this guy changed with his words, from frustration to surprise, and began to regain his original vitality little by little, and Gray's heart was like a seed slowly germinating, growing with a faint joy.

However, there are still some unspeakable things that cannot be told to her at all. Such a thing, even Gray himself could not explain at all.

For example, how could there be a sequence that was perfect for her to perform a dance?

It's still a pas de deux?

When Gray heard about what happened during the friendship with Nanming School Park tonight, and imagined the wavering and frustration in her heart, he decided to give her this newly created pas de deux.

Only she can play this dance to the fullest, and only she can present the most beautiful part of her body as a dancer through this dance. There is still a month left, and with her diligence and understanding, it is not impossible to overcome all the difficulties in the dance section.

As long as it is under your own guidance and help.

The so-called miracle, she has not created it!

It's just that Gray doesn't want to mention the creation of this pas de deux at all, because even he doesn't quite understand what he's doing.

This is a rare occurrence.

Shaida sat on a small stool, crouched beside Gray's couch, her head tilted, her black grape-like eyes staring at him from the bottom up.

"I'm a little confused, and today, I suddenly don't know whether I've improved or regressed during this period of time." The gratitude was incomprehensible, and Shaida, who was so excited in her heart, finally decided to tell him what was in her heart.

"Well, how?" Gray slouched in response.

Shaida tried her best to tell her what had happened today, what the red-haired boy in Minami had said to her, and what she had thought of herself, and the part about Gray that had been cut out. The more she talked, the more depressed she became, the more she talked about her self-doubt, but she didn't expect to talk for a long time, but in exchange for a sneering smile from the male god on the couch.

"In your heart, is he powerful, or am I powerful?" Gray asked with a light smile.

It's a weird question, because Gray Fantaasia never tries to compare himself to anyone, and it's not at all like what he would ask. But when he spoke, he looked very calm, without emotion, nor competitive, and he didn't mean to be better than anyone.

But the answer to this question is absolutely certain in Shaida's heart.

"You're amazing." She replied without hesitation.

The smile in Gray's eyes was even greater.

"To be exact, I know you better than he does. So, have I ever asked you the questions he mentioned? ”

Not really. Shaida thought about it carefully, and it was true that there had never been.

In this world, she trusted Gray Fantacia more than anyone else in the depth of her insight. The question that bothered her, Vantacia didn't point it out for her, it wasn't possible that Vantacia didn't find out, and more likely, he didn't think it was a problem at all.

"He doesn't know how you're practicing." "You're now taking everything you had and rebuilding it, like you're reinventing your own flesh." This process will not happen overnight, in the middle of the process, it is easy to lose control at both ends, you are at this stage now, everything at the moment, is unavoidable. ”

Although Vantacia's meaning affirms Andy Silva's observation to a certain extent that Shaida's current state is indeed in various stages of collapse, and it is self-evident that she jumps poorly, his words can calm people's hearts and make people feel grounded.

"So what should I do?" Shaida asked.

"Again, when you don't know what to do, just stick to it." Gray Fantacia replied.
