After dancing two songs in succession, Qi Jingyi was a little tired. She quit the dance floor and came to the bar to rest for a while. As soon as she ordered a drink from the waiter, a man walked towards Qi Jingyi.
"Beautiful lady, can we have a drink together?"
Qi Jingyi looked up and saw a well-dressed man. She did not refuse. The man sat down next to Qi Jingyi and ordered the same drink as Qi Jingyi.
Li Wei danced with the crowd, and the more he played, the more excited he became. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before he felt that he was covered in sweat and his clothes were sticking to his back, which was very uncomfortable. She walked out of the dance floor and saw Qi Jingyi chatting with a man at the bar. She was smart enough not to disturb him, but quietly returned to her previous position, sipping the cocktail in the goblet alone.
The music vibrated the eardrums, and the legs on the table couldn't help but beat the beat.
Ten minutes later, there was movement at the bar, and Qi Jingyi poured all the wine in the glass onto the man. The man was annoyed and wanted to argue with Qi Jingyi. When the waiter saw this, he tried to mediate, but it didn't work at all.
Li Wei couldn't sit still anymore and walked towards the bar. The man was entangled with Qi Jingyi and wanted to hit the woman in public. Before his outstretched hand could reach Qi Jingyi, he was stopped by Li Wei.
"Sir, why are you so angry? Can you please be a gentleman?"
"You stinky bitches, what are you saying about being noble?" The well-dressed man said dirty words when he saw that the hookup was not working out. Li Wei couldn't bear it any longer and attacked the man. She was so strong that the man staggered, blood came from the corner of his mouth, and said angrily: "You rotten bitch!"
Qi Jingyi took out two pieces of money and put them on the bar, then pulled Li Wei out of the bar.
The market was still noisy, and Qi Jingyi felt unhappy. After drinking some wine, she became even more depressed. She needs someone by her side. Qi Jingyi and Li Wei said, "Can you come to my house tonight?"
Li Wei noticed Qi Jingyi's strangeness and nodded: "Okay." She waved to a taxi.
Qi Jingyi now rents a single apartment. It is a small one-bedroom apartment with only about 40 square meters, but it is enough to accommodate a single woman.
"Come in, the house may be a little messy. It's more casual for me to live alone, and no one will care about me." Qi Jingyi smiled helplessly.
Li Wei changed his shoes at the door. Qi Jingyi threw her backpack into the sofa as soon as she entered the room. She turned around and asked Li Wei what he wanted to drink. It's not good to drink tea late at night, so she said: "A cup of boiled water will be fine."
Qi Jingyi walked into the kitchen, picked up the thermos bottle and shook it. There was no boiling water in it. She had no choice but to open the refrigerator and throw a bottle of refrigerated mineral water to Li Wei.
"There's no hot food left. It's warm weather and you can drink something cold."
Li Wei unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few sips of cold water. The burning feeling in his stomach was immediately relieved.
Qi Jingyi turned on the TV, then went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then went to the bedroom to change into cool and convenient clothes.
Li Wei's eyes naturally looked at the row of shelves against the wall, where trophies of various sizes were displayed.
Qi Jingyi followed her gaze and said calmly: "No matter how beautiful and glorious it is, it is a thing of the past."
"But after all, it is truly glorious. Many people have never reached such heights in their lives."
Qi Jingyi sat down on the sofa, drank some water and said: "When I was your age, I was in my prime. I traveled everywhere with the group all the year round and never had a few days of rest a year. At that time, I felt that I got married to the stage, and I thought I could dance for more than ten years, but God played a big joke on me. Before I was thirty, my stage career was over. You know I was the first person after the operation. How did you feel when you went to the ground for the first time? It was really painful, from the inside out. When the doctor said that I could not return to the stage even if I recovered, I felt like a waste. I had never graduated from high school, except for knowing how to do it. I can't dance, I can't find anything suitable to do. I gave up on myself for a long time. I thought that my whole life would be over, I closed the door and refused to see anyone, and even thought about committing suicide. Thanks to meeting Director Fang, he helped me get out of the haze and regain some courage to continue living. "
Li Wei finally understood why the outstanding Qi Jingyi took the initiative to quit the dance troupe and come to this children's palace to become a dance teacher.
"Sister Qi, is it difficult to live alone?"
Qi Jingyi smiled and said: "How could it be? I feel very relaxed. I can eat when I want and sleep when I want. Although I can't make a fortune in my job, I can't starve anyone to death. There is not much pressure and I feel relaxed. I enjoy it very much. The current situation. I plan to live like this forever.”
"It's really cool to hear you say that, and I'm very envious of you. Then I'll follow Sister Qi's example."
When Qi Jingyi heard about it, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, you still have a bright future, don't be as negative as me. Young people still have to be full of hope for the future and live a more energetic life."
Li smiled. There was a sketch on TV, which was full of baggage and full of laughter. However, neither of the two people in the room was amused by the sketch.
Li Wei wanted to ask Qi Jingyi why she didn't get married, but she was afraid of stepping on Qi Jingyi's minefield and making her unhappy, so she was cautious and didn't dare to speak.
Qi Jingyi found a set of pajamas for Li Wei and asked Li Wei to change into them after taking a bath.
I was sleeping on a mat, and there was an electric fan on the bedside table opposite me. The wind was turned to the minimum, but it wasn't too stuffy.
Qi Jingyi let Li Wei sleep in it. Not long after he lay down, she took the initiative to care about Li Wei: "Wei Wei, have you ever been hurt by a boy?"
"Hurt? I learned two moves from a master. I shouldn't suffer much loss in a one-on-one confrontation." Li Wei was still very confident at this point.
Qi Jingyi said with a smile: "I'm not talking about just this kind of harm, but emotional harm."
"No, I have never had any emotional entanglements with those boys, so why should I hurt them?"
"You're not in love?"
"Yes, Sister Qi, who did you hear to say that I have a boyfriend?"
Qi Jingyi thought to herself that she was worried for nothing, it looked like everything was fine.
Having made a start on emotional matters, Li Wei followed Qi Jingyi's topic.
"Where's Sister Qi? You always say you are more than ten years older than me, so why are you still single? Haven't you met a suitable partner after all these years?"
Qi Jingyi said helplessly: "What kind of men do I attract? Today you also saw what kind of virtue that stinky man is, and he attracts all kinds of rotten romances."
Li Wei said: "It's impossible for a person not to meet someone who meets his eyes in this life, right?"
"Yes, I also met someone once, that was ten years ago."
Qi Jingyi fell into memories of the past.
