White Swan

Chapter 79

The first act of the ballet shows Amel pulling turnips in his small vegetable garden.

Qiao Fei stepped on the brisk music and danced around the prop cabin in the center of the stage.The dance is dominated by jumps and kicks in small steps, pirouettes and trots across the stage, the main purpose of which is to present the set for the audience.

The stage scene is mainly light brown and camel, which sets off Qiao Fei's light green costume brightly and clearly.

The rhythm of the music gradually accelerated, and the actors came on stage from both sides of the stage one by one to accompany Qiao Fei.

Shi Xubai was pacing backstage. He was supposed to monitor the lighting and sound, but now he couldn't take his attention away from Qiao Fei.

Many people who understand ballet describe it as a circle, centered on the body, and use this range to plan dances.

Now Qiao Fei is free of the constraints of the circle. Contemporary dance focuses on the stretching and extension of the body. Every movement seems to want to catch something, hook the hearts of the audience, and tell people stories with life and soul.

He seemed to bet everything on himself, injecting his soul into every movement.He is disappointed, happy, angry, sad.Everything Qiao Fei feels on stage is presented in his jumping and spinning.

The best dance performances are so full of detail that even the light in an eye and the tiny bend of a fingertip seems to be choreographed.

It's hard not to be drawn.

During the whole hour of the dance drama, Xu Bai barely moved, his gaze always followed the boy on the stage.He couldn't remember who said the sentence, which was just right for Qiao Fei.

You can always see a glimmer of light in those who have been through the dark.

When he danced, it seemed that it was not Qiao Fei, but the boy named Amel in the ballet, and he found beam after beam of light on the way he passed.I lost my small vegetable garden and the scenery of the setting sun, but found the sea and the morning glow of the red clouds.

Qiao Fei's body is very light, and it seems that she does not need any effort when she jumps up, and she seems to be able to spread her wings and fly if she is taller.

The world lacks dance, and Shi Xubai feels that he is a gift from God to people.

Qiao Fei never looked at the floor, her gaze was always above the auditorium, her delicate chin was slightly raised.

He can attract light, perhaps because he is light himself.

The one-hour dance drama passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the solo dance. Shi Xubai stared at the stage intently, his legs became a little stiff due to tension.

In the darkness, Qiao Fei appeared from the left side of the stage.He changed into a light gold light performance costume, which was close to his body, showing his slender and straight waist.

Qiao Fei stood in front of the stage, took off the black silk scarf around her waist, covered her eyes with it, and tied a knot behind her head.

Shi Xubai paused, the dance he taught did not include this detail, it was added by Qiao Fei himself.

An actress enters from backstage on the left, holding a burning candle and placing it in the center of the stage.

He is the only one on the huge and spacious stage, but he alone is enough.The muscles of his back are smooth, containing strength but at the same time soft, with an indescribable beauty.

Qiao Fei spun and danced around the candle in the center of the stage, and every dance step carried a yearning for light.Amel was also looking for his own light, and he tentatively extended his fingertips towards the hot candle, but retracted it with hesitation.Longing for light, but also afraid of light.

The spotlight only followed him, leaving a bright and dazzling light wherever he danced.

The music was approaching its climax. After a fouette twirled and jumped, Qiao Fei stepped on a few notes, took off the gauze blindfolded, and walked a few steps closer to the candles in Taichung.

These few steps carry hesitation, but also firmness and confidence.

He was wearing a golden costume, like a fire burning in the desert, as if a pair of wings were about to emerge from his butterfly bones.

Shi Xubai couldn't believe that this was the boy he fell in love with. He bowed his head and cringed on the stage half a year ago, but the gray hard shell that once wrapped Qiao Fei disappeared at some point. He is a shedding cocoon. The butterfly that emerges is also a white swan spreading its wings.

The gray down on the body finally faded, and white and clean white feathers grew.

He is his lover, the brightest light on the stage.

Qiao Fei is like a lonely white swan on a cold lake. The white feathers on her body have been stained by mud, but it is the mud that wipes the feathers clean.

A boy doesn't need wings, he can fly.

Qiao Fei used a jeté to span the last distance between herself and the candle, and gently picked it up from the ground.The candle was flickered by the air current, and Qiao Fei protected it with one palm.

At the last few notes of the accompaniment, Qiao Fei held the candle in both hands and slowly raised it above his head. The beam of light was like the rising sun.

The curtain fell and the spotlights on the stage went out.

Shi Xubai opened his arms, caught Qiao Fei who was running towards him in the background, picked him up and turned him around a little.

The boy's body was soaked with sweat, but Shi Xubai rubbed him tightly into his arms without hesitation, wanting to hug him and never let go.

his little swan.

his.

After 1 minute, the actors took the stage to call the curtain one by one.

All the lights on the stage were turned on, and the music blared along with thunderous applause.

According to the usual practice, the protagonist bowed at the end and received applause from not only the audience, but also applause from all the actors on the stage. He was honored to accept everyone's admiration and admiration.

Qiao Fei leaned close to Shi Xubai's side, her chest heaving due to tension and excitement.

Xu Bai could understand even when he didn't have to speak, he stretched out his hand to shake Qiao Fei's sweaty palm, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid."

The boy turned his head to look at him, the corners of his lips curved further.

"I'm not afraid, not at all." He asked again, "Will you go up with me?"

Shi Xubai shook his head lightly: "No baby, their applause belongs only to you."

Qiao Fei stared at his face for a while, then raised her hand to touch his cheek, her fingers were slightly wet when she left.

Only then did Shi Xubai realize that he was crying.

Qiao Fei carefully wiped away the tears on Shi Xubai's face, and smiled at him. Amid the thunderous applause, he turned around and ran up the stage at small steps, waving to the audience with the most sincere smile on his lips.

He stood still in the center of the stage and bowed deeply facing the audience, but the applause did not tend to calm down at all, but was mixed with whistles and more enthusiastic shouts.

Qiao Fei had no choice but to bow again, waved to the audience to thank, then moved a small step to the right of the stage, vacating the most central position, and stretched out her hand evenly to the place where Xu Bai was on the left backstage.

This is the dancer's gesture of thanks for inviting the choreographer to come on stage.

Shi Xubai didn't expect the boy to come out like this at all, and he didn't even think about going on stage, so he brushed his hair, walked onto the stage and bowed ninety degrees to the audience.

The audience and actors applauded even louder.

It's been too long since he stepped on the stage, and it's been too long since he stood in the middle of the stage and watched the audience cheering for him. His legs felt weak for a while, but Shi Xubai's trembling fingers were held by something, he turned his head sideways, Meet Qiao Fei's smiling eyes.

Qiao Fei held his hand tightly, and when the curtain fell, she got closer to him, and at the end of her eyes was a light that Shi Xubai had never seen before, with pride and pride.

This boy was his from beginning to end, the most precious treasure in his heart.

Surrounded by the cheers and mutual celebrations of the actors, Shi Xubai stretched out his hand and hugged Qiao Fei tightly into his arms, and said in his ear, you know, you are also the one who ignites their dreams.

Qiao Fei shook her head: "I'm not that good, I'm just a dancer, I just want my dance to bring a little bit of happiness to the audience, to make them happy, that's my honor, I just need a little applause Just in return."

"I didn't ignite their dreams, I just did what I wanted to do since I was four years old."
