White Swan

Chapter 75

After learning a new dance for a week, it finally came to the first rehearsal of Qiao Fei and a dozen backup dancers. This was the first time he went to the dance studio with Shi Xubai, and he was so excited the night before.

"You're so slow, aren't you ready yet?" Qiao Fei waited for Shi Xubai at the gate of the apartment, bouncing around on the spot with small steps, waiting impatiently.

Shi Xubai rushed outside from the kitchen and shouted, "What are you doing so early? Waiting for the actors to arrive."

Qiao Fei muttered in a low voice: "...I still need to warm up." And you have been in the kitchen for more than half an hour.

After entering the dance room, Qiao Fei walked back almost subconsciously, looking for the most inconspicuous corner in the dance hall, intending to squeeze herself into it.

The studio's dance hall is much smaller than City Ballet's, it's not so spacious, but it has a bit of warmth.Qiao Fei spotted the position next to the curtain on the left, and was about to go there.

This is a habit he has developed over the years without even realizing it.

But before he got to the back today, Shi Xubai hugged him by the waist, pulled him back and pressed him beside him.

"Stand here." Shi Xubai leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't run away."

After everyone arrived, Shi Xubai almost couldn't wait to introduce Qiao Fei to all the actors.He flaunted him in front of all the dancers, short of saying, look, my wife.

"This is the lead actor of our dance drama. He was injured a little earlier, and we will start rehearsing with everyone today. Be nice to him. Bullying him won't do you any good. You might as well bully me."

There were several friendly laughs from the crowd.

Qiao Fei half-hid behind Shi Xubai, watching him talking and laughing happily with a group of dancers, she felt a little admiration in her heart.

When all the actors' eyes were on him, Qiao Fei suddenly felt that she should say something to say hello, but it seemed that there was nothing to say, and the phrase "Hello" stuck in her throat.

Fortunately, Shi Xubai didn't make him suffer for long, and announced the start of rehearsal.

The rehearsal went smoothly. Qiao Fei had already practiced and memorized all the dance steps at home, and now it only took a little time to get familiar with the walking position and the distance between herself and other actors.

In fact, he didn't realize until now that he, the protagonist, is really the most central role. He is included in more than 90.00% of the dances, and he is almost always in the center of the audience's sight.

Shi Xubai was still as demanding as ever, and if there was something he was not satisfied with, he would never continue to rehearse. One movement can be carefully picked out for more than half an hour.

Luo Ziwen also came, and Shi Xubai gave him a moderate role, patted him on the shoulder and said that there are no small roles, only small actors.

He was sincerely happy for Qiao Fei, saying that if they go abroad to get married in the future, he must have his share of the wedding candy.

More than four hours of rehearsal flew by, and when all the actors left, Qiao Fei and Shi Xubai sat on the ground in front of the mirror to rest.

Ji An said that it is best to apply ice to Qiao Fei's legs after dancing, and Shi Xubai magically took out a thermal bag from the bag beside him, which contained a piece of ice in a fresh-keeping bag.

The ice had melted a little, forming a puddle of water at the bottom of the bag.

"I didn't expect the rehearsal time to be so long today. Next time I will need to pack several layers of insulation bags." Shi Xubai handed the ice to Qiao Fei, opened the insulation bag and glanced at the brand.

Qiao Fei took the fresh-keeping bag, and unceremoniously placed it under the calf. The calf suddenly felt cold, and then the tired muscles gradually relaxed.

He only realized later that Xu Bai was probably waiting for the ice cubes to freeze solid when Xu Bai stayed in the kitchen slowly this morning.

Qiao Fei began to feel a little bit reluctant to let the ice under his legs melt. If possible, he would rather keep the ice as a treasure, put a picture frame on the wall, and read: My boyfriend gave me a gift, I love it so much he.

The scene seemed familiar, and he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Shi Xubai, he was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the dance room, it didn't take long, but his world changed a lot.

Qiao Fei blurted out: "Shi Dao."

Shi Xubai was leaning on the floor-to-ceiling mirror with his eyes closed to rest his mind, he chuckled when he heard it, and opened his eyes a little: "I don't like it, change the name."

"Then... Brother Shi."

"Why don't you call your husband to listen?"

"Don't bark." Qiao Fei turned red from neck to ear tip, she didn't dare to look at Shi Xubai, and lay down on the ground pretending to be dead.

Shi Xubai fiddled with him lightly, curling his hair for a while, pulling his ears for a while, and finally poked the soft flesh on his face with his fingertips.

"Don't you think it's a pity that you don't have a dance training class?" After a while, Qiao Fei raised her upper body, put her elbows on the ground, and her eyes began to wander, "How much money can I make?"

"Money fan." Shi Xubai scratched the tip of his nose, "I didn't open the studio for money."

Qiao Fei asked him curiously: "What is that for?"

"I originally thought that in a large ballet company, being the choreographer and director of dozens or hundreds of people, and arranging a ballet with thousands of people rushing to buy tickets is the pinnacle of life, but now I don't want to do that."

Shi Xubai hugged Qiao Fei like a doll, and stuffed her into his arms.While Qiao Fei retracted into his arms, she still didn't forget to take the ice cubes and continue to compress her legs.

Shi Xubai said that I am very happy today, watching you dance is a kind of enjoyment, and I may be happier than when I was the chief.If possible, I would like to watch you dance for the rest of my life, until you don't want to dance anymore.

Qiao Fei raised her hand to touch the corner of his lips, and promised, "Then I'll dance for you for the rest of my life, okay?"

"I want to dance for you during the day and have sex with you at night. Love, listen to the piano music you play and make up a dance for you." He finished tracing the corners of Shi Xubai's lips, and went on to touch his eyelashes and Looking up at him while lying on his lap.

"I'm still jealous when I watch others dance for you, I just want you to see me."

"I don't want others to dance the dance you choreographed. It would be great if only I could dance alone."

"Sorry, I'm selfish, but I love you more."

Shi Xubai took Qiao Fei's hand and kissed his fingertips, "Then when I earn enough money, I will retire early, and from now on I will only watch you dance alone. The choreographed dance is only for you to dance alone."

Qiao Fei nodded, "That's a deal."

The ice cubes under his legs gradually melted, and it was almost time for the cold compress. The two of them packed up their things and went outside.

While waiting for Shi Xubai to lock the door, Qiao Fei looked up at the blank wall behind the dance room, pondered for a while, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, did the studio have a name? I think many dance studios are Their names are plastered in big letters on the back of the wall, which looks super like that. You don't plan on getting one too?"

The venue of the dance studio is rented and has never been named.Before Qiao Fei mentioned it, Shi Xubai had never thought of naming him.

"I didn't name it, I haven't figured out what to call it."

Qiao Fei let out a groan, but said nothing.

The lock on the door was a bit rusty, and it was difficult to insert the key. Shi Xubai took a long time to fix it, then turned around and raised his hand to rub Qiao Fei's hair, "Think about it for your husband?"

Qiao Fei dodged his hand stretched out to her head, and walked towards the motorcycle parked on the street, "No, I don't want to waste my brain."

Shi Xubai shook his head with a smile, followed and picked up his black helmet and put it on the lively little thing's head.

"Then it can be called Little Yellow Duck Studio."
