Counterattack 1988

Chapter 159 Don't Go Home Tonight

When Wang Lin went downstairs, he saw Zhang Meiyun with her legs spread apart, sitting on the steps like a big horse with a golden sword, blocking most of the steps, with her head slightly raised, with a cigarette in her hand, puffing.

He didn't tell her to make way, and went downstairs carefully from the side.

"Wang Lin!" Zhang Meiyun called out to him.

"Huh?" Wang Lin responded.

"where are you going?"

"none of your business?"

"Take me out for a drive, okay?"

"Not good. I have something to do."

"You men are all like this! There is no good thing!"

Wang Lin originally wanted to talk back, but he thought about it, why bother with a frustrated woman?
He came downstairs, opened the car door, and drove to Little Bailing Art School.

The first performance of the evening is not over yet.

Seeing him coming, Shen Xue came forward with a smile, "Wang Lin, you're here!"

Wang Lindao: "I promised you, can I not come? You haven't gone backstage to prepare yet?"

"I'm still early!" Shen Xue said, "Sit for a while, it will be over soon."

Wang Lin saw many thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls in the office, and asked, "Why are there so many children?"

"They are all students of our school. They are a group of students with solid background. They have studied in the Youth Palace before and transferred to us." Shen Xue said, "I arranged for them to be on a program and let them exercise .”

"That's right, the purpose of learning art is to perform on stage, and the more you go on stage, the more you perform, the better you will be."

"They are a group program, and each person can get a salary of ten yuan! So you can see that they are very happy, and everyone is laughing."

Wang Lin murmured: "Actually, this is pretty good. Arranging a program for the students every week can not only exercise them, but also allow them to earn back part of the tuition. Most of the children are from working families, and the parents are also frugal , Sending them here to learn art, it is also a good thing to earn tens of dollars a month."

"Well, I think so too. I have consulted with the parents, and they all support this event." Shen Xue said, "Also, when the children perform on stage, their families, relatives and friends are also more motivated to come and buy tickets Watch the show. So, it’s a win-win event.”

While speaking, there was warm applause from the theater.

"The curtain call for the first performance." Shen Xue said, "Let's go there!"

She said to the students: "The first program is your performance, everyone is ready to go."

The children had already put on their make-up, put on their performance costumes, and wore tiaras on their heads. Like a group of lively flowers, they chattered and went to the theater.

Wang Lin and Shen Xue came out, and Shen Xue went backstage to get ready.

Wang Lin found a seat in the middle of the front row and sat down.

The audience for the second performance quickly filled the theater.

The audience was noisy, and after about ten minutes, the lights of the theater dimmed suddenly.

The audience knew that the performance had officially started, so they all fell silent.

The spotlight hit the stage, and the actors on both sides exited, and a group of little girls like flowers ran out.

The audience's eyes lit up, and applause rang out.

The little girls danced an opening dance, and the soundtrack was "Labor is the Most Glorious".

"The sun is shining golden, the rooster sings three times, the flowers wake up, the birds are busy dressing up...the green leaves are red and the flowers are red, the little butterflies are eager to play..."

This children's song is lively, vivid, and full of children's appeal.

The dance music has been adapted, and the rhythm and drum beats are more lively, which is convenient for the actors to step on the spot.

The children's dance was cheerful and lively, which won the applause of the whole hall.

Wang Lin thought, many of the audience present must be the parents and relatives of the children on stage, right?The applause was obviously too warm!

He looked back and saw that many audience members were holding up their cameras and taking pictures. Some of them hated that the seats were too far away and stretched their arms to the front seat.

After dancing, the little girls stood neatly and bowed to take the curtain call.

There was a flood of applause from the audience.

Next, there are solo dances, group dances, two-person dances, and three-person dances. There are actors from the City Song and Dance Troupe and actors from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

The program was brilliant. There was a dance called "Flying Apsaras" imitating Dunhuang murals, which was performed by two actors, a man and a woman. There was a movement in which the actor lifted the actress up, and the actress danced while standing on the actor's palm. This show won the unanimous favor of the audience, with constant applause.

Wang Lin was also amazed to see it, thinking that the ancients said that the Chu waist is slender and palm dancing, but he didn't expect to see it today.

As soon as the spotlights dimmed, all the mood lights on the stage were also extinguished.

Soft erhu music sounded.

The smooth, elegant and pure sound of music flows in the theater.

Together with the tune, Wang Lin recognized it. This is the erhu tune "Good Night" by the famous modern musician Mr. Liu Tianhua.

With the sound of music, the spotlights are turned on and shine in the middle of the stage.

A graceful and charming back slowly swayed up from the spotlight.

She was wearing a taupe-green performance dress with fluttering skirts. She had a slender figure, her joints were as soft as if she had no bones, but her center of gravity was extremely straight and stable.

Just looking at the back, Wang Lin also recognized that it was Shen Xue.

This is the "Lotus" dance composed and performed by Shen Xue.

Shen Xue's dance was the first time she performed on stage, and it was also her first public performance.

The audience was stunned and forgot to applaud.

People who don't know how to dance also know what is true beauty.

A beautiful dance can cultivate sentiment and elevate people's aesthetics.

Every dance move of Shen Xue exuded a sense of professionalism.

When you lift your legs, you can draw a word vertically, and your legs are straight on a vertical line!

This action is to imitate the middle-through-outward straightness of the load bar.

She uses body language and dance movements to express the various forms of lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus stems, which are so vivid that it is amazing.

And her charming and bright smiling face is like a fresh and charming lotus.

The song of a good night gradually faded away.

Shen Xue's body was frozen in the shape of a blooming lotus flower.

The spotlight shone on her, as if covering her with a layer of golden light. She was like a lotus in the morning light, astonishing the world.

Wang Lin applauded and took the lead in applauding.

Only then did the audience wake up from the shock brought about by the beautiful dance, and let out bursts of exclamation and cheers.

Sitting in the middle position, Wang Lin could see it most clearly.

He never let go of Shen Xue's every expression and every movement.

She looked at Wang Lin and smiled, then bowed and left the stage.

The host came to the stage to announce the curtain.

Wang Lin got up, leaned forward, walked quickly from under the stage, and came to the backstage door.

The staff guarding the door saw that it was Mr. Wang and let him go with a smile.

Shen Xue had just stepped off the stage, panting slightly, and there was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

Three minutes on stage, ten years off stage!
"Shen Xue!" Wang Lin smiled and waved to her.

Shen Xue came over and asked with a smile, "Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Lindao: "Want to hear the truth?"

When Shen Xue heard this, her heart skipped a beat: "Is it not good? No wonder I didn't hear the applause at all! It's over, did the dance program I made up with all my heart fail like this? I also specially invited you to come and watch me. Make a fool of yourself?"

The old god Wang Lin smiled: "Well, this dance should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to see it in the world!"

"Ah?" The expression on Shen Xue's face changed instantly, from anticipation to disappointment, and then from disappointment to surprise, "You scared me to death! I thought you would give a bad evaluation!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "I understand now that the ancient emperors were obsessed with singing and dancing all day long, and they didn't want to care about government affairs. I watched your dance, and I also have the feeling and thought that the emperors will not go to court sooner. "

That's an extremely high rating.

Chen Xueyan smiled and said, "Is it really that good?"

Wang Lindao: "Don't take off your make-up, don't change into costumes, come on, let's find a place, and you can show me a performance alone, I haven't seen enough just now."

Shen Xue said: "This dance doesn't have a lot of movement, so I can dance it for you in your office."

"Then go to my office. I want to watch it a million times!"

"Look again?"

"One hundred million times!"

"..."

Shen Xue smiled shyly, held up her skirt, walked out with him through the back door, turned to the office, and then went upstairs.

"You really want me to dance?" Shen Xue giggled, "Dance here for you alone?"

"Can't you?" Wang Lin said, "You promised me a long time ago that you would dance for me to enjoy alone. Now is the time. Can you do it without music?"

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes."

After she finished speaking, she jumped up in Wang Lin's office.

Dancers have music in their hearts!
She knows when to dance and which move to match the rhythm.

After dancing once, Wang Lin said: "I still need to make music to make it feel better. I agreed to buy a TV for you. I will buy it tomorrow, and I will buy it together with the stereo."

"Isn't this a waste? There are both in the theater and in the training room. If you want to watch me dance, come over tomorrow during the day. When there is no one, I will go to the training room and dance for you for a day." Shen Xue said, "Okay, I'm going to change clothes first. You wait for me."

Wang Lin said hello.

Shen Xue changed into casual clothes and came out, and asked, "I'm serious, do you think my dance is really okay?"

"That's great." Wang Lin said, "A lot of dances imitate animals, because animals have different shapes and are easier to imitate. But few people imitate flowers to dance. In fact, flowers are more delicate and beautiful, more like you girls, You imitate flowers and dance, you should be more beautiful."

Shen Xuedao: "Flowers also have appearance, movement, and flower language. If you observe carefully in a garden of flowers, each flower has a different shape. When the flowers are still or swaying, their postures are even more changeable. I used to In summer, I love to go to the park to see the lotus, and when you asked me to choreograph a solo dance, I thought of the lotus dance."

Wang Lindao: "Shen Xue, I think your program can be listed in the evening party."

"No."

"Why not? Report it first, and let's talk about whether you pass it or not!"

"This year's gala program list has been determined long ago and cannot be changed."

"Is that so?" Wang Lin said, "That's a pity. But it's okay, you dance in our theater first, and I will promote it for you, and you will become famous."

"Wang Lin, in fact, I don't care whether I'm famous or not, and I don't care whether I can go to the party or not. Now I don't even care whether I lead the dance or not. I just want to dance, that's all. You gave me a stage to express myself freely. This is better than everything, even better than going to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

Shen Xue seldom confessed her heart like this: "I never told you, but I am very grateful to you in my heart. I know that you did all this for me. You are a businessman, and you can do other things if you have money. But you opened this art school for me, because you know me, you know me, you know that I am not happy in the troupe, and you know that I will not give gifts and curry favor just for a role Others. So, you gave me a separate stage! You regard me as a confidant, and I will also introduce you as a confidant."

This is her inner monologue, which has been hidden in her heart for an unknown period of time, until now, she is desperate to express it.

Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Let's be honest, on March [-]th Women's Day, you came to our factory to perform. From the first moment I saw you, I was deeply impressed by your demeanor. I thought at that time, if the world There really is a fairy, and the appearance of that fairy must be your appearance."

Shen Xue lowered her head coquettishly.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!" Wang Lin shouted.

Su Jin walked in and said with a smile: "Principal Shen, where are you here? The performance is over, and many audience members asked to take photos with you. Do you see?"

Shen Xue said softly: "You go and tell them that I have already left school."

Su Jin said: "Okay. All the little girls are very happy, and they are all taking pictures with the audience."

Shen Xue said with a smile: "Those are their parents! You go!"

"Hey!" Su Jin left with a smile.

Wang Lindao: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'm going home."

"Well! Good night, Wang Lin."

"Good night, Shen Xue." Wang Lin walked out of the office, closed the door, and stopped at the door for a few seconds.

He could feel that from Shen Xue's mood swings tonight, coupled with what he saw and heard in the park during the day, there was a special kind of affection growing between the two of them!

However, he didn't know how to face her, so he chose to ignore her.

Back downstairs, Wang Lin parked the car and went upstairs.

The steps of the stairs were covered with cigarette butts, that Zhang Meiyun had smoked at least two or three packs of cigarettes!
Wang Lin frowned.

When I got home, I saw Li Wenjuan curled up on the sofa alone, watching TV with a blanket in her arms.

"Wenjuan!" Wang Lin asked, "Is your sister back?"

"No." When Li Wenjuan saw him coming back, she immediately jumped up and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I'm just waiting for you to come back! Let's continue watching ghost movies."

Wang Lindao: "It's so late, let's see it tomorrow?"

Li Wenjuan pursed her lips: "You lied, you said you wanted to watch it with me? I've been waiting for you for more than two hours!"

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you let go first, I'll take a shower and then come out to accompany you."

"Well, I won't be afraid if you are at home." Li Wenjuan continued to watch the video.

After watching the ghost movie, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

Wang Lindao: "Your sister will definitely not come home tonight, let's sleep!"

Li Wenjuan stretched her waist, yawned and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm asleep."

Wang Lin turned off the lights and the TV, and went into the bedroom.

He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and always felt that something was missing.

Yes!

By his side, Li Wenxiu was missing.

For six months, Li Wenxiu would sleep next to him every night.

Before he knew it, he had long been used to her being by his side.

The night when she didn't come home suddenly, Wang Lin felt endless loneliness, loneliness and desolation!
