Chapter 13: Sincerity

Five fifty p.m.

In the dance studio of the Hamamen Ballet, the pianist's fingers dance lightly on the black and white keys. Jiang Luosheng stands on tiptoe, rotates, and lands on one foot, and then repeats tiptoeing, spinning, and landing.

She controlled the movement of her limbs and toes, and by the fortieth lap she had her other foot firmly on her feet.

Wan Qi stood beside her and nodded, "It's good." The toe movement range is smaller. ”

"Okay." Jiang Luosheng replied as he raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Then, she re-faced the mirror and scrutinized her every movement.

Whether it is practicing basic skills or deducting details, she never feels pain. Dancing, for her, was the only silence in the noise.

At six o'clock, the bell rang slowly.

Wan Qi nodded to everyone in the classroom, "That's all for today, everyone has worked hard." ”

"Director Wan has worked hard."

Jiang Luosheng bent down and picked up the bottle from the ground to drink.

"Luo Sheng is really working hard today," the colleague came over to chat, "Forty whips turn, it's amazing." ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled bitterly, "Life is forced." ”

She was poor. She has 300,000 to pay. She can only work hard and take on more gigs.

If she pushes a little harder, she can turn a hundred.

"It's starving to death to study art." My colleague complained, "I will never let my children do this in the future." ”

The chief of the group also came over to chat, "You two, sign up for Olinna's spokesperson with me." Give me the base. ”

Jiang Luosheng was surprised, "Sister, you are so sincere." ”

The chief smiled evilly, and then began to say seriously: "But Luo Sheng, you are not hopeless. If you are chosen, your fame will go up directly. ”

Jiang Luosheng was helpless, "With you, Olina won't choose me." ”

The chief shook his head, "Secretly, according to the gossip in the chief circle, Olena has not only signed a star chief recently. ”

"Sign a group dance? Is my dawn coming? "My colleague was excited.

The chief was amused, "It's still a long polar night for the group dance. ”

"It's boring." Colleague discouraged.

Jiang Luosheng leaned on the top handle, "The new European/European chief signed by Olinna last year was so controversial at the beginning, and now it is so famous. ”

"Olinna is currently the head of this brand, and she is very bold in her selection, with a poisonous vision, and there is no set of fixed standards at all." "So I think if it's a good soloist, he'll probably sign it." ”

This is also what Jiang Luosheng is looking forward to, although the probability is very small.

"This person is in his early thirties, right? What's it called? A colleague asked.

"Lin Yubai." Jiang Luosheng took his phone and typed Lin Yubai's name in the search box.

The colleague looked at the photo that popped up, "Ah, yes, it's this person, young and handsome." Single? ”

Jiang Luosheng looked at the webpage, "The information says single." ”

"Why don't these men with a lot of money look for girlfriends?" The colleague was puzzled, "This Lin Yubai is too, and so is Director Wan." ”

Jiang Luosheng played with taste, "The happiness of their singleness, maybe you don't understand." ”

"Oh yes, speaking of which," the chief said with interest, "have you heard of the origin of Lin Yubai's name?" ”

"Nope. Let's popularize science. ”

He said in the interview that his father's surname is Lin and his mother's surname is Bai, and the two of them named their son Lin Yubai in order to show their affection.

Jiang Luosheng hooked his lips and smiled, "This mouthful of dog food is refreshing." ”

"Not really." The chief looked at the time and picked up his bag, "I have to go." I'll see you tomorrow. Take advantage of the fact that there is no performance today, and take a good rest. ”

"See you tomorrow." Everyone said goodbye to each other and walked out of the dance studio.

Jiang Luosheng changed his clothes in the locker room and prepared to leave. At six o'clock in the evening, the lights of Binmen City were probably on.

But she didn't expect it to be snowing outside.

This is the first snow of the year at Hamamon Castle.

When the foggy sky and fluttering snowflakes appeared in the field of vision, Jiang Luosheng was instantly stunned, and reflexively withdrew his left foot that was about to step out of the gate of the dance troupe.

She was about to take her mobile phone to call Xiao Qi.

Two familiar whistles sounded not far away. Jiang Luosheng looked over and saw that the black Land Rover had stopped at the intersection, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the roof of the car.

Jiang Luosheng immediately put his mind at ease. She straightened her hat, took a deep breath, and stepped into the snow.

In an instant, the snowflakes fell on her hat, scarf, and down jacket without saying a word, trying to get through every crevice, sticking to her warm skin, and then quietly melting, taking away her warmth.

She trotted her neck back, opened the Land Rover's co-pilot door, and sat in with a smile on her face, "Oops, it's cold." ”

Xiao Qi raised the car air conditioner by two degrees, and then reached out to help her brush the snowflakes off her hat.

"Why did Director Xiao pick me up?" Jiang Luosheng fastened his seat belt, turned his head to look at him, and smiled like a flower.

"Passing by after work." Xiao Qi started the car, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

Looking out of the windshield, the sky seemed to be covered with an extra layer of fog. The headlights go out, and the trail of every snowflake falling is nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Luosheng quietly looked out the car window.

The phone vibrated slightly, and a message popped up.

It is a transfer confirmation from the Hamato Police/Bureau. The compensation amount of 300,000 has been paid in full.

Jiang Luosheng was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, "My father's compensation, you helped me pay it?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Qi responded, still looking ahead.

"When?"

"It's noon today."

Jiang Luosheng blinked, "When you read the agreement in the morning, you memorized the card number?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi replied expressionlessly.

Jiang Luosheng was silent for a while, and then asked, "Why did you help me pay back?" ”

Xiao Qi replied lightly: "If you have spare money, I will help you pay it back first." ”

"Then I," Jiang Luosheng looked at him, "I will return it to you slowly." ”

Xiao Qi was still expressionless, "No." ”

He said no.

These two words are like a pardon order, which makes Jiang Luosheng feel a burst of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Qi helped her pay back the money. Voluntary.

She doesn't mind saying thank you, though.

"Tell me, what can I do?" She stretched out her hand, gently pulled the fluttering earlobe, and looked at him with a smile, "You are so handsome, smart, and caring, do other men have a way to live?" ”

Xiao tilted his head to dodge, "Don't make trouble." ”

Land Rover stops at a red light. Jiang Luosheng leaned over and leaned into Xiao Qi's ear, "How can I thank you?" ”

Xiao Qi turned his head and looked at the delicate face that was close at hand.

His gaze shifted from the shiny fawn eyes to the tip of his small nose.

Move on to those red lips.

"It depends on your sincerity." His subwoofer was a little playful.

Jiang Luosheng thought for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "I can sell my soul a little." ”

Xiao Qi hooked his lips imperceptibly, "There is a chance for you to sell your soul." ”

"Say it." Jiang Luosheng looked at him. The tip of their noses touched lightly, but neither of them distanced themselves.

"Christmas Eve Rock Ball." Xiao Qi looked at her, "Be my dance partner." ”

Jiang Luosheng was silent.

Then, she leaned back in her seat, looked out the window again, and half-jokingly, "Is this to take your girlfriend to meet your friends?" ”

"Whatever you want." After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he asked again, "Are you coming?" ”

Jiang Luosheng pondered.

She didn't expect that Xiao Qi would make such a request.

They were both holding a knife in their hands, and now this distance was just right to stab each other.

Closer, as soon as you reach out, the knives can be plunged into each other's hearts.

Xiao Qi frowned, his tone was a little impatient, "Are you coming?" ”

"I ......" Jiang Luosheng hesitated to speak.

Xiao Qi interrupted her, his tone cold, "You said it yourself, thank me." ”

Jiang Luosheng turned his head and saw nervousness in the eyes of this always calm man.

She blinked, and finally smiled lightly, "Come on." ”

On the main road, the red lights at several intersections ahead turned green one by one. Xiao Qi stepped on the accelerator, and the Land Rover started slowly.

"But." Jiang Luosheng spoke slowly.

"But what?" Xiao asked, his left hand holding the steering wheel tightened.

"I'm missing a dress for the ball."

Xiao Qi chuckled and flicked the steering wheel slightly, and Land Rover walked from the straight road to the right turn. "I'll buy it for you."

At the beginning of December, the downtown shopping street is already in the Christmas mood. There is a delicate Christmas tree at the entrance of the mall, and there are Christmas ornaments hanging in the windows.

At the evening dress counter, Jiang Luosheng wore a silver bandeau dress and turned around in front of the dressing mirror.

The skirt is slightly raised, light and dreamy.

She knows that she is not a simple sister next door, but she has an ethereal temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world. This fairy silver dress makes her even more unstained.

She turned to face Xiao Qi, "Is it good-looking?" ”

Xiao Qi's gaze was always on her, "It's good-looking." ”

"That's it?"

Xiao Qi nodded to the waiter, "Check out." ”

"Yes sir." The waiter took Xiao Qi's card and smiled at him, "My girlfriend is very beautiful." The two are a good match. ”

Xiao Qi's voice was softer than usual, "Thank you." ”

Jiang Luosheng changed his clothes and when he came out of the locker room, Xiao Qi was already waiting with a bag.

"Let's go, dance partner." She used to stand side by side with Xiao Qi.

In the mall, there are young students chattering, a noisy family of three, and a couple like glue. Jiang Luosheng sometimes looked at them and couldn't help but wonder how long this bland or passionate happiness could last. If the happiness of the present is only planting the seeds of pain for the future, then is there any need for this happiness to exist?

Thinking about it, she felt that she was too pessimistic, so she restrained her thoughts.

At the entrance of the escalator, the waiter wearing a chef's hat enthusiastically handed over the leaflet, "Two, our store is 20% off in December." ”

Jiang Luosheng took the flyer. It is a hot pot restaurant on the top floor of the mall.

She turned her head and asked Xiao Qi, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xiao Qi looked down at her starry eyes, "Hungry." He took the flyer, looked at the location of the store above, and said, "Let's go." ”

"Let's go!" Jiang Luosheng stepped briskly on the ascending escalator.

It seems that it is not bad to go shopping and eat together in this way.

Xiao Qi stood on the escalator below her, watching her tilt her head in anticipation. The smooth jawline outlines a nice curvature.

He held out his hand.

When the two index fingers touched, Jiang Luosheng reflexively withdrew his hand.

But Xiao Qi grabbed her hand domineeringly and didn't give her a chance to escape.

Jiang Luosheng still looked ahead and didn't turn his head.

But he didn't break free.
