"Do you know how embarrassed I am when I go out shopping with them and I want to buy a piece of clothing, I have to carefully look at the tag first, and find out that the dress is my living expenses for a month?"

Du Ruo sneered, "But they can't see my embarrassment, they will only encourage me, saying that they look good, cooperate with the clerk, let me buy this dress, and will pretend to be sorry when I hang the clothes back on the hanger, and even buy the dress, hang it in the dormitory, and wear it in front of me from time to time to show off." ”

"It's nice to say, if I want to, I can borrow something from them." Du Ruo let go of one of his arms and caressed the practice clothes he was wearing now, "They just know that I will never ask for help, so they pretend to be generous." ”

"As for the things I buy, whether it's snacks or cosmetics, they never look down on them."

"Yes, I really can't afford to buy a few thousand pieces of powder, a few thousand dollars a bottle of perfume. But so what? They didn't want to try it out, and I didn't bother to share it with them. ”

"No......" Si Ying seemed to no longer know the person in front of her, and said incoherently, "Why do you think so?!" Cosmetics or something, it's because everyone's skin type is different, and some more private cosmetics, lipsticks or something, if you don't say it, we can't take the initiative to try it......"

"Everyone praises you because of your figure, you really look good in whatever you wear, everyone is just telling the truth!"

"And except for me, the rest of them don't know your family situation, their family conditions are very good, so I take it for granted that you should be able to afford those things, and you will feel sorry when you don't buy them......

"Truth?"

"That's right...... It's all truth or ......."

"But I don't need to."

“……”

Du Ruo reached out and opened the window.

In the early spring afternoon, the sun was warm and fell on the girl's slender fingertips.

"Of course I know my own conditions, and I don't need them to repeat to me in that barren vocabulary, to remind me of the gap between the rich and the poor between me and them, to tell me the fact that I can't afford what they can take at will."

“……”

"Si Ying, you and I are both from ordinary families, maybe because of your family harmony and the love of your parents, you can still retain a piece of innocence."

"But I'm telling you, I've been less naïve for a long time."

"My confidence is given by money."

Perhaps because he found that Si Ying was really not aggressive, he would only be stunned, Du Ruo took off his defensive posture.

"You see, I've only been in the circle for such a short time, but the amount of money I got has reached this amount. I have enough shirt now to buy an entire hanger of clothes that they once wanted me to buy. ”

"If there is still a chance to go shopping together in the future, maybe I will learn to be like you and try to understand their fire as kindness."

"As for what you said, Captain Li values me very much......" Du Ruo smiled confusedly, "Maybe...... If it weren't for that, I might still be one of her men, or maybe like you, at least when someone dares to despise me, and get her help......"

Du Ruo's face was a little empty, so much so that Si Ying's accusation to his lips swallowed back.

At yesterday's banquet, Lin Feng's flying and domineering were vividly remembered.

Without the blessing of the dance theater and the favorable family conditions, it is difficult to move forward in this flashy entertainment industry.

Du Ruo is a proud person, but in his bones he has a strong inferiority complex born from his original family.

Even their original unintentional words would be misunderstood like this by Du Ruo, not to mention Lin Feng's behavior of pointing at people and scolding.

Thinking that Du Ruo usually lived in Jing Nian might be this kind of day, Si Ying still explained for Li Niantian.

"No, the head of the regiment is not the only one who defends me, she is also protecting you......"

"Du Ruo, come back...... Isn't it good to come back and be a dancer? Just like the head of the regiment, no matter where he goes, he is a respected ......"

"No, I'm not going back." Du Ruo was gentle but resolute, "Si Ying, you are really, too naïve." The regimental commander promoted me, but so what? What can I do if I stay in the troupe and become the chief in the future? ”

"Can she give me the confidence I want? Even if he becomes the chief, it is only a salary of a few thousand dollars a month. It's glamorous to say, but only you know how much you have suffered behind it. ”

"Now, there are faster and easier ways to make money, obviously you can just pose two poses on stage, and even sometimes when the menstrual period comes, you can just stay on the stage without moving, why do I have to practice desperately? Why watch the money fall into the hands of a group of people who are not as good as me? ”

"Si Ying, I'm not convinced."

"But they ...... you like this" Si Ying couldn't figure it out, "Humiliate you, why do you still ......"

"I've said it all," Du Ruo interrupted her, "it's the same everywhere." ”

"What's more, I'd rather be like this, straight to the point of humiliation, than that kind of forced praise and flattery."

"At least one day when I want to take revenge, no one will force me to explain their kindness to me like you do now."

The conversation ended in failure.

It was not only Si Ying inside the door who was shocked, but also Li Niantian outside the door.

She didn't expect Du Ruo to be such a measure in her heart.

However, when I think about it at this time, I can figure out why she has mentioned to Du Ruo many times before that she wants her to dance well and make great achievements in dance in the future, Du Ruo did not show much surprise.

Because those things are of little value in Du Ruo's opinion.

There was also a large part of regret in the shock, she finally understood the complicated eyes of the dean when she resigned in the previous life.

But she covered up all these emotions.

After all, listening to the matter of the corner, except for the time when caught/raped, the other times are always not so glorious.

Li Nian tilted his index finger and knocked lightly.

The two people in the practice room got up from their stools as if they had been poked by needles.

In the conditioned reflex of the troupe, as long as you hear Li Niantian's rhythm of knocking on the door with two long and one short, you know that the rest time is over, and you will immediately stand in the figure-eight position.

Elsewhere, this reflex can't be changed.

Li Nian poured into the practice room.

Compared with the rehearsal room of the theater, the practice room of the variety show looks a lot cramped.

The area is not large, there are too many tables, chairs and benches around, the mirrors nailed to the wall are only half the size of a wall, and the ceiling is not high enough.

The overall sense of space is much smaller than that of the troupe, so much so that Li Niantian felt that he was in a cage as soon as he walked in.

"It's good to be a little star," Li Niantian sighed with Gu Yuheng behind her, "This practice room, replaced by actors in our group who are tall enough and have good bounce power, can kick the roof down when doing skills." ”

She muttered casually, but after Si Ying and Du Ruo had just collided in values, they were extremely sensitive to this sentence.

Si Ying was okay, but she was afraid that Li Niantian would think that she was forcing Du Ruo to do something she didn't want to do, so she rubbed her toes against Li Niantian's side.

She was a little shorter than Li Niantian, and she just put her chin on Li Niantian's shoulder, as delicate as Samoyed, "That's it, that's why I persuaded Xiaoruo to come back to the troupe, where are the conditions here suitable for dancing, and there are so many snobs." ”

"You......" Li Niantian took her and rubbed her chin, "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't just because you like to dance, you can't ask others to stay with you in the troupe for the rest of your life, right?" ”

"No, I'm really envious of her conditions, and besides, you didn't ...... before"

"Alright, stand still." Li Niantian blocked Si Ying's next words, pushed Si Ying on the shoulder, and pushed Si Ying away from his shoulder, "Tell me, what is your show this time?" Have you assigned any tasks now? ”

"We are an old song," Si Ying pushed her to the bench and sat down, turned on the projection screen in the practice room, and whispered while waiting for the camera to start.

"It's a song that was more popular in the ancient style circle in the early years, and I heard it when I was in high school. It's quite imposing, and I also like the timbre of that singer, it's the kind of voice that is very rare, even if it's a high pitch, it's rare. ”

As he was talking, the machine had finished starting, and a painting with blue and cyan as the main color appeared on the pitch-black screen, and in the middle of it was two big characters with a brush full of ink.

"The Dawn of the World"

The lyrics are written magnificently, and they do not deliberately describe the psychology of the protagonist, but instead spend a lot of space writing about what the protagonist in this song does.

Write about the dark wind at night, write about ghosts and ghosts, write about three-foot Qingfeng, write about things and go to your clothes, regardless of merit and fame.

The whole song takes about three or four minutes, and it sings a river and lake heartily.

"How's it going?" Si Ying clenched her fists in her fists and hugged her collarbone, and after the screen went out, she revealed the infatuation of a little fan girl, and ran from the projector to Li Niantian in small steps.

"It's really good, it's very charlatan." Li Nian poured out praise.

"Really, really, really!" Si Ying turned her expectant gaze to Gu Yuheng, who was silently guarding aside.

Gu Yuheng: ???

"Ahem......" Gu Yuheng, who was cold-faced in front of the person, met this eager gaze, held his right hand weakly, put it to his lips and coughed lightly, "Not bad." ”

"Yay! I'll just say I can't be wrong! I've loved this singer for a long time! Si Ying's eyes lit up, "I can finally cooperate with him on the public stage!" ”

Li Niantian was amused by her hesitation, "I haven't heard of any boy you like before, it turns out that you like this style, why don't you see if you can invite him to the scene on the day of the performance and arrange for the two of you to meet?" ”

"Harm, that's not necessary," Si Ying waved her hand arrogantly, "The main thing is that you like songs, so people don't need to." ”

"What's wrong?"

Si Ying was heartbroken, "Alas, the main thing is that I'm still a dog." ”

"......" Li Nian poured out her brain, "You, you are so heartless every day." ”

"Hehe, how can a girl not love beauty." Si Ying closed her chin, glanced up at Li Niantian at forty-five degrees with her small eyes, and shook her eyes in Gu Yuheng's direction halfway, "Brother-in-law can take you down, don't you have some light on your appearance?" ”

"What do you say? What brother-in-law? Li Niantian twisted the tip of her small nose, half embarrassed and half threatening, and felt that Gu Yuheng beside her was moving and didn't dare to look over there.

"Ahhh Si Ying fluttered like an octopus.

Gu Yuheng's hand reached over from the side and rescued her.

The slender big hand wrapped Li Niantian's slender fingertips and held it in the palm of his hand.

"You're right, there's a part." Gu Yuheng actually hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and her phoenix eyes were full of warmth, "But she doesn't admit it, save some face for your head of the regiment." ”

"Poof!" Si Ying couldn't hold back her laughter.

"......" Li Nian was sullen, "I won't have face if you say this!" ”

"Hmm." Gu Yuheng took her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, and smiled lightly, "Don't talk about it next time." ”

"You ......"

"Commander......" In their joyful atmosphere, Du Ruo's voice interjected weakly, "Can I talk to you alone?" ”
