Flowers and dances

Chapter 30

"Have you put shoes on for other girls before?"

As soon as I finished my first dance, I regretted it.The room suddenly fell into silence.Xi Haoze frowned slightly, his eyes slowly fell on Chuwu's feet, his eyes were narrowed, and he fell into deep thought through her shoes.

That year, on a summer afternoon, the campus was rarely quiet.The girl was wearing a long white dress, with her shoes casually littered, sitting on the horizontal bar, her slender legs dangling leisurely, humming a song softly, and the singing sound flowed slowly.The breeze blows and lifts the long hair like a waterfall, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lavender.

Xi Haoze was sitting on a stone bench beside him flipping through a book, and with a "plop", a black object hit his feet.He tilted his body to look, pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, and picked up the shoes.Looking at the girl, there was a bit of softness in her eyes.

"Xi Haoze, I'm going to perform in Italy next week, and I won't be back for a month, why are you still reading?"

"It's not that I won't come back." Xi Haoze walked over and grabbed her feet, and put her shoes on gently. "It doesn't look like it. If your mother sees it, it's time to train you again."

The girl giggled, and put her arms around his head, "Xi Haoze, you can only wear shoes for me in the future."

Chu Wu looked at Xi Haoze from her angle, he lowered his head slightly, at this moment she couldn't see his expression clearly, but could only see the faint shadow under his eyes.

"Xi Haoze—" Chu Wu called him softly.Xi Haoze raised his eyes and quickly recovered his emotions.

Chu Wu twitched the corners of her mouth, compared to her pure white emotional world, how could someone like Xi Haoze be like her, but it's over, a mature man like him, with a good family background, doesn't have a few romances The past may not be justified.Although she was curious, she didn't want to be obsessed with it. It would be of no benefit except to increase the pain, "Go to eat, the food will be cold."

Xi Haoze breathed a sigh of relief, took her hand, and tightened it.

After dinner, Chu Wu practiced dancing in the living room as usual, with Xi Haoze at the side for a rare moment, the TV played silently, and the screen kept cutting.He watched Chu Wu repeating a certain movement, his slender chin raised slightly, Chu Wu is indeed a young dancer, and he was also sad that when he went to the art troupe to hand over materials for Chu Wu, the leaders there were so happy mouth.

"Hey, I'm exhausted." Chu Wu walked to his side, sat down, and rubbed her calf.He kept looking at her, not knowing what he was thinking.Glancing at the TV, it was playing "Discovery" on the CCTV Science and Education Channel. Both of them liked watching this program.

There were a lot of snacks on the coffee table, and Chu Wu ate a bag of potato chips without knowing it.Hearing the creaking sound, Xi Haoze stretched out his hand to take it over, "Don't eat too much of this food, if you eat again and gain weight, the pain will decrease again later." He said and took a tissue to wipe her hands.

In fact, Xi Haoze is very careful in taking care of others. It is really good that Chuwu wants to marry a man who is 8 years older than her.

She pursed her lips and smiled brightly.But for a moment, just at the corner of his crotch and mouth, he touched his waist, "Recently, I have been training intensively, and my daily food intake has increased. I often feel hungry after practicing." After a pause, he looked at Xi Haoze, his eyes With a sly look in his eyes, he asked with interest, "You usually train very hard, what if you are hungry?"

Xi Haoze half-lyed on the soft sofa, amused in his heart, "What can I do, bear with it."

"Does this make a body like iron, and it's not invulnerable." Chu Wu patted his chest with great interest.

He looked up at her, smiled suddenly, and the corners of his eyes softened slowly.

The next day, Chuwu went to work with another pair of dancing shoes.Looking at the two pairs of shoes in the cabinet, my heart was slowly filled with happiness.

She came early, and there were not many people at this time.After changing her dance skirt, she turned around and saw Suy.

"Mr. Su, good morning."

"Chuwu, you came so early." Suy saw that she had already changed her clothes.She took out her dancing shoes from the cabinet, and Chu Wu took a closer look at her dancing shoes. The shoes should be old, yellowish in color, and several places around her feet were worn out.

Suy leaned down, changed her shoes, stood up and saw Chu Wu's eyes fell on her shoes, and slightly bent her mouth, "These shoes are a gift I bought for myself when I was admitted to the dance academy. Where do I go?" Wherever you take it, so many years have passed without knowing it." She sighed softly.

Chu Wu didn't say anything, she intuitively felt that Su Yi was a person with a story, but everyone had secrets that she couldn't tell.

During the rehearsal, Wang Chen also became interested in Su Yi's shoes, "Chu Wu, why doesn't Teacher Su change to a new pair of shoes?"

"I can't bear to wear it for a long time."

"I don't think so, maybe it was given by her boyfriend." Wang Chen curled his lips, his voice slowly lowered, "However, I heard that Teacher Su is still unmarried. She must be 29 this year."

Chu Wu was surprised, "Is she 29?"

Wang Chen glanced contemptuously, "That's the actual age."

"It's really well maintained." She always thought that Su Yi was only about 25 years old.

When I went to the cafeteria for lunch, Chu Wu and Wang Chen sat in their old seats as usual, the sun came in from the window, and I felt comfortable for the rest of my life.At this time, there were a lot of people eating, and Chu Wu saw Su Yi carrying a lunch box looking for a seat from a distance, and waved to her.

Suy came over, "Don't bother."

The three ate their lunch in silence.

Wang Chen saw that Chu Wu's meal had bottomed out, and asked in surprise, "Chu Wu, why are you eating so well recently?"

Their dancers care most about their body shape. Xi Haoze just read it last night. Now, Wang Chen's words hurt her deeply again.

"No way, I usually eat so much." Chu Wu said in a buzzing voice, she used to eat very little.Since getting married, every time she goes back, Ms. Chen always makes up for her in different ways.I can't live up to my mother-in-law's kindness if I don't eat it. The more I eat, the more I feel like I'm addicted.

"Oh." Wang Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

Su Yi smiled faintly, and when she glanced at the ring of Chuwu's ring finger, she was dazed for a moment, her eyes dim and painful.

Xi Haoyue sat in a far corner, biting her chopsticks tightly, her brows were furrowed, her heart was already boiling, she couldn't help but lament that the world was too small, and everyone got together again after going around.She looked at Chu Wu's corner, with indescribable worry in her eyes.

During dance practice in the afternoon, a small episode happened.Su Yi's pair of dancing shoes was finally honorably sacrificed. Chu Wu looked at Su Yi's eyes with a touch of loneliness, and couldn't bear it, "Mr. Su, I still have a new pair of shoes. Why don't you wear mine first."

Suy nodded after being absent-minded for a moment.

Chu Wu gave Su Yi the pair that Xi Haoze gave her before.At that time, she didn't ask Suy what size she was wearing, as if something was pulling her, those shoes were surprisingly suitable for Suy.

"The shoes are beautiful."

"My husband bought it as a gift." Chu Wu didn't think much, and she spit out the words. After she finished speaking, she was surprised at what happened to herself. Maybe it was because of a little reluctance in her heart that she reacted so strongly.

Suy paused, and slowly slid her fingertips across the shoe, caressing it pitifully, as if she was looking for something or reminiscing about something.Suddenly, she stood up, "Okay, let's continue rehearsing."

On August [-]st, the decoration in the auditorium was full of joy.Chu Wu stood in the backstage, looking carefully at the audience through the curtain. Her father-in-law, Xi Zhenghong, was sitting in the middle of the front row.

The arrangement of fate is so wonderful, on New Year's Day, she is also on this stage.I thought it was an accident in her life, but I didn't expect it to be called her long stage career in the future.That night, there was an intricate intersection between her and Xi Haoze.Without that dance, perhaps, she and he would not meet, she and him could only be the most ordinary strangers.Xi Haoze can only exist in her childhood memory forever.

"Chuwu, we'll be here in a while, you don't want to change your clothes yet." Wang Chen walked up behind her and patted her on the shoulder. "What are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything." Chu Wu pulled Wang Chen over, "Hurry up and put on your makeup."

"Cut. Look at your husband. I can't stand you. What kind of military wife is you?"

Chu Wu was overwhelmed by the guess, her cheeks were flushed, "It doesn't hurt to talk while standing."

The cultural performance was very successful. After the performance, Chu Wu still did not participate in the final commendation ceremony.Standing at the exit of the auditorium, soldiers came out one after another, Chu Wu leaned against the corner, waiting for Xi Haoze to come out.

The soldiers were almost gone, and Xi Haoze came slowly, talking with a man in military uniform beside him with his head bowed, without noticing Chu Wu at all.

Chu Wu stood there, watching him and a man whispering and passing by her, feeling so angry. "Xi Haoze." She called out with a clear and melodious voice.

The two men in front stopped and turned around. Seeing that she was still wearing that dress, Xi Haoze frowned, walked over, and took off her hat with a wave of his hand, "It's a hot day and I don't want to change my clothes again. I want to cover my prickly heat."

Chu Wu curled her lips and asked expectantly, "How was my performance today? Didn't I embarrass Mr. Xi?"

"Hurry up and change your clothes." Xi Haoze raised his hand to look at his watch, "I'll give you 10 minutes."

Jiang Yixian looked at the scene in front of him with interest, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and Xi Haoze, who has always been calm, will also have this side.He strolled over, "Sister-in-law, you danced really well today, with a lot of momentum. Hao Ze was still praising you just now."

Xi Haoze glared at him, talking nonsense.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Jiang Yixian. When you got married, I happened to be practicing in another place. I didn't participate in your wedding. You have to treat me well."

The temperature outside was 39 degrees, and Chu Wu was wearing a thick military uniform. Her face was red from being covered, and sweat was layered on her forehead. She smiled and said, "Okay."

"Han Chuwu, you still have 8 minutes."

"Xiaoyou, head of the bureau, my wife is not your soldier, she is for love, not for training." Jiang Yixian has a slippery mouth.

When he said this, Chu Wu immediately ran away, complaining in her heart about Xi Haoze's overbearing.Why should she listen to him?
Xi Haoze looked at the light blue voice that was running in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

Jiang Yixian glanced at him, and smiled maliciously, "Hey, can you stop laughing like that? It's really - seductive."

Xi Haoze glanced at him coldly.

After Chu Wu quickly changed her clothes and came back, she saw only Xi Haoze standing under the elm tree not far away.

Seeing her, Xi Haoze didn't show any expression, and raised his hand to look at his watch, "I'm late by one minute and 12 seconds."

Chu Wu was stunned.

"If you go back late, you will be punished!" Someone said without favoritism.

"Master Xi, this is my fastest speed. My heart is about to jump out of my running. If you don't believe me, listen, I can't breathe right now. I have never been a soldier or trained. You It can't be measured by your standards." She took his arm, and acted recklessly.

Xi Haoze was just bluffing her, there would really be no punishment.He suppressed a smile, and wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead with his fingers.

But they didn't know that this sweet scene between the two completely fell into the eyes of others.Su Yi's eyes were full of desolation, and she looked at the two of them with dead silence.She was only a dozen meters away from them, but she found that she could no longer go any further.
