White Swan

Chapter 13

When they arrived at the villa, He Haoyun sent Qiao Fei upstairs and watched him get into the quilt and wrap himself in a ball.He still wanted to say something, but the phone rang, and He Haoyun answered impatiently after hearing the words on the other side of the phone.

"Stay here for me, I have something else to do."

Qiao Fei didn't answer, just curled herself up tighter.The bedroom door was closed softly, and the sound of He Haoyun's footsteps going downstairs gradually faded away.

When he came out of the dance troupe, he was pushed into the car by He Haoyun. He thought he would be taught a lesson, but He Haoyun didn't do anything to him. He just stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

The surroundings were quiet, and Qiao Fei played a piece of Schubert's "Serenade" and gently rubbed her temples under the covers.His head hurts so much, anyone he wants to accompany him can do it.

He Haoyun, you lied, you agreed to have the last cup.

Finally, Qiao Fei couldn't help being exhausted and fell asleep. It had been several hours since she woke up, and the pain in her head was finally gone. She was still a little dizzy, but she didn't want to vomit that much.

He raised his hand to touch the phone on the bedside, squinted his eyes and glanced at the screen.

There were a few messages with Shi Xu's white hair, which were not sent to the group of the dance troupe, but to him alone.Said that the dance troupe had something urgent to discuss, so he had to go there.

Seeing Shi Xubai's name, Qiao Fei's eyes suddenly turned red.Why should I be seen by him when I am most embarrassed.He is the darkest pebble in the mud, how can he dream of approaching the brightest sun.

Qiao Fei threw the phone back to the bedside table, and buried herself in the quilt again, trying not to cry out.After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang, and Qiao Fei touched the phone, fearing that He Haoyun was looking for him.

The message was sent by Shi Xubai, only three words.

【I'm waiting for you. 】

After staring at the information on the screen for a while, Qiao Fei dragged herself out of the quilt and went downstairs.He took the key and was about to go out, but was told by the housekeeper that the second young master asked him to stay at home.

"Master Qiao, you should rest at home. The second young master said that you are not feeling well today."

"I have something to do with the dance company, I'm going to go." Before the housekeeper could say anything, Qiao Fei had already left the door.

I don't know how it was so unlucky today, the taxi driver drove harder than He Haoyun, and finally arrived at the dance troupe, Qiao Fei's head, which was feeling better, began to faint again.

Shi Xubai leaned in front of the mirror in the dance hall, flipping through his phone.A message from Qiao Fei was displayed on the screen: [Sorry, I have to be late].

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the corridor, Shi Xubai raised his eyes and saw Qiao Fei pushing open the glass door of the ballroom and coming in.

The boy looked around, seemingly wondering why he was the only one: "Is something wrong?"

The ugly duckling seemed to come here in a hurry, breathing a little fast, with fine sweat on his forehead.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't say it was a matter of urgency.

Shi Xubai didn't answer his question, but handed over an orange-yellow orange, the same variety as the one he gave him the first day he met, and asked, "Do you want to eat oranges?"

Qiao Fei took a look and shook his head, he was not in the mood.

There were only the two of them in the dance hall, Qiao Fei calmed down a little, and asked Shi Xubai with some doubts: "Where are the others?"

"I don't know, it seems like it hasn't come yet." Shi Xubai peeled the orange and ate it by himself.

Qiao Fei sat down on the floor in the center of the dance hall, wrapped her arms around her knees, and rubbed the fabric of her pants with her fingertips.He couldn't raise his head, and he didn't dare to face Shi Xubai's eyes looking at him.I don't know if he will look down on him like everyone else and think he is dirty.I thought maybe Shi Xubai would never see the relationship between himself and He Haoyun, so that he could be his orange-flavored sun, and he would be satisfied just looking at it from a distance.

But it was still seen.

"Are you still feeling bad?"

Qiao Fei looked up at Shi Xubai.

There was no expression on Shi Xubai's face. This problem might just be due to the choreographer's concern for the career of an actor.

"It's okay..." Qiao Fei shook his head lightly.

Time passed by, but still no one came.

Shi Xubai saw that the time was almost up, he pretended to glance at the phone, and said regretfully, "They all have something to do, so they can't come."

The Ugly Duckling seemed a little angry, his face gradually darkened, his eyes were lowered, he refused to look up at him, and his voice was a little annoyed after being deceived: "Then I'll go first."

Shi Xubai walked up to him, and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "You said you've come here, and it's hot, do you want to have an ice cream?" How could it be hot.

But the ugly duckling obviously didn't care.His eyes obviously brightened, but he lowered his head immediately, not wanting to let the expectation on his face be too obvious.The drooping little rabbit's ears stand up, and the ears are not deceiving.

He didn't seem to be angry either.

The ugly duckling is really innocent and can't hide anything in his heart.An ice cream can buy him, so can he be kidnapped with a meal?

Qiao Fei gently held Shi Xubai's hand, stood up from the ground, and whispered a thank you.

Shi Xubai nodded: "Let's go."

There was a Haagen-Dazs store not far from the dance troupe, Shi Xubai opened the door for Qiao Fei and let him in first.He didn't look at all kinds of ice cream on the counter, but looked at Qiao Fei's cheerful expression with interest.The ugly duckling is leaning down, carefully studying the ice cream in the freezer.

The boy's attitude is really good, and he hasn't been unhappy for long.

There were not many people in the store, and the clerk came to enthusiastically recommend the latest flavor to them, which is caramel cookies. Shi Xubai didn't even think about it, and ordered a portion directly.

Then asked Qiao Fei: "What kind do you want?"

Qiao Fei whispered to the chocolate ice cream in front of him: "I want chocolate."

Shi Xubai imitated his way of speaking in a low voice, and asked him: "Why are you talking so quietly?"

Qiao Fei was embarrassed, straightened up, her cheeks flushed slightly: "It's hard for me to eat ice cream once, what if I scare the ice cream away by talking loudly."

These words directly made Shi Xubai laugh, the boy is so cute, he comforted Qiao Fei with a smile: "It's okay, I'll catch you back after I run away."

Shi Xubai asked the clerk to dig out two chocolate ice cream balls, and asked Qiao Fei if he wanted a waffle cone or a cup.Qiao Fei chose the waffle cone.

He insisted on paying for Qiao Fei, saying that the compensation made his trip for nothing.

The two left Haagen-Dazs, licked ice cream and wandered aimlessly on the street. It was almost evening, and the number of people on the road gradually increased.

The ice cream was a bit too sweet. Shi Xubai had never eaten something with such a high sugar content, and he was a little uncomfortable. Moreover, he found that he hated caramel very much, and he didn't know why his head suddenly had cramps. this.

"Are you a prince?" Qiao Fei suddenly broke the silence.

There was no beginning or end to this sentence, but Shi Xubai was stunned for a moment before he realized it.He put his hands in his trouser pockets, did not answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked him: "What? Does the little swan like the prince?"

Qiao Fei froze: "I'm not a little swan."

No, you are an ugly duckling who has not yet turned into a swan.

Shi Xubai seemed careless: "Then I'm not a prince either."

Qiao Fei was silent for a while.It was a bit hot, and the ice cream melted quickly. He licked off the ice cream juice that dripped on his fingers, and wiped it off with a paper towel.

He remembered eating a kind of ice cream when he was a child, and the taste of the wooden stick and spoon was more distinctive than the ice cream itself, but now that he thought about it, he didn't remember the taste of the ice cream at all, only the taste of the spoon.

Shi Xubai is the ice cream, and He Haoyun is the spoon.

The ice cream will be finished, but the spoon will always be there.

"Can't you dance anymore?" Qiao Fei felt a little impolite after asking this question. It seemed too straightforward. He just wanted to apologize, but Shi Xubai responded.

"Well, I hurt my knee a little, so I won't dance anymore." He said flatly, without looking at Qiao Fei, but looking around, as if looking for something.

"Then you will be a choreographer in the future?"

"Well, that's what I plan to do recently." Shi Xubai really couldn't eat this caramel-flavored ice cream, so he found the trash can and threw it away.

After careful consideration, Qiao Fei said, "I like your dance very much."

Shi Xubai turned his head, smiled and asked Qiao Fei: "What do you like?"

Qiao Fei paused for a moment while licking the ice cream, but didn't make a sound.

He stuffed the waffle cone into his mouth and ate it before throwing the napkin in the trash.But after he threw it away, he suddenly regretted it, sticking his sticky fingers and didn't know what to do.Shi Xubai handed him the tissue that he hadn't had time to throw away.

Qiao Fei took the tissue, her fingers trembling imperceptibly, "That...the person who came to see me today..."

"It's okay, you don't need to say anything." Shi Xubai interrupted him softly, he didn't need Qiao Fei's explanation, nor would he comment on him, "Don't tell me if you don't want to say it."

A couple walked past them talking and laughing, the girl was hanging on the boy's arm, her eyes never left his face.

For a moment, Shi Xubai felt that the world is very unfair, why some people can get the people they look up to so easily, while others can only watch innocent people get hurt, but they can't do anything.

"You danced really well today." Shi Xubai turned his head to look at Qiao Fei, waited for him to turn his eyes to himself, looked into his eyes and assured him seriously, "Really, I won't lie to you, if I am sure I chose you."

Qiao Fei smiled, and the frustration in his eyes seemed to disappear. He thanked Shi Xubai and told him that it was helpful to give him instructions before the interview.

Shi Xubai noticed that Qiao Fei had two small dimples when she smiled, and her eyes were also crooked, making her look very obedient.

He sent Qiao Fei to the taxi and closed the door for him.As the car drove away gradually, the corners of Shi Xubai's mouth curled up a little, recalling what Qiao Fei had said to him before getting into the car.

I love dancing because I have fantasized about it making me grow wings.I want it to fly away with me and never come back.I love your choreography because it makes me feel like I can fly.

The ugly duckling was not very happy today, so Shi Xubai cheered him up again with an ice cream.
