Salad Days

Chapter 36

Views:

The holiday arrangement of the dance school is a bit special. The winter vacation is only 10 days during the new year. At other times, even if Laiyi does not have classes, the dance troupe has to rehearse, not to mention the principals like Jing Luoyun and Liu Xingzhi. The year is full for them.

Jiang Shen was worried that Bai Jinyi was going to watch him dance, so he had the cheek to ask Jing Luoyun to buy tickets for the front row of the stage.

Jing Luoyun was a little surprised when he found out: "You bought it as a gift?"

Jiang Shen nodded, and said embarrassedly: "Well... send me a friend."

Liu Xingzhi split legs beside him, and said casually, "Just your friend who drives a Bentley to pick you up every day?"

Jiang Shen looked blank: "What is Bentley...?"

Liu Xingzhi wanted to roll his eyes, but he still said patiently: "If he is so rich, let him buy a ticket. At most, it will be difficult to grab a little bit. After all, Jing Luoyun's dance fans are either noble ladies in the capital or socialites in Shanghai."

"..." Jing Luoyun coughed shyly, "It's not all..."

Liu Xingzhi: "It's very hard for us to arrange a dance, how can we not earn this kind of money? Why are you so generous now?"

Jiang Shen wondered: "But Bai Jinyi is an exception...how can I charge him for dancing."

Liu Xingzhi looked at him incredulously: "Are you crazy? You will lead a choreographer yourself in the future, what? Will you never charge him for the rest of your life?"

"That's right." Jiang Shen's expression was serious and frank, "I don't charge him money, Bai Jin saw that I danced for free for life."

Jing Luoyun really took out a ticket for the first row and sold it to Jiang Shen at half price. The younger brother was naturally grateful, and he worked harder and earnestly in rewarding the dance choreography, which made Jing Luoyun feel embarrassed.

"You have to pay attention to your body." Jing Luoyun reminded him, "Normal training is enough. After training, it will only damage your body. You are still in the developmental period, and how your bones grow is the key."

She pointed to Liu Xingzhi: "Your senior brother got hurt last year, and he didn't come back after half a year."

Jiang Shen asked curiously: "Is the dance hall expensive for senior brother?"

Jing Luoyun nodded: "It's expensive, tickets to his VIP room are hard to find, and they are always popular."

Jiang Shen: "Does Mr. Pu have to pay to see him dance?"

"Of course." Jing Luoyun laughed, "Liu Xingzhi is not only interested in money, but also likes to kill acquaintances. The better the relationship, the more expensive it is. His loyal dance fans will be very happy."

"..." It was the first time Jiang Shen knew that there could be such a rule. It was really unheard of, and he was speechless for a long time.

Jing Luoyun patted his head: "Anyway, the relationship between Mr. Pu and him is not as simple as you think. You will understand after seeing more."

The weather in the south after winter is really cold and uncomfortable. Just a few days after the winter vacation, Jiang Shen will start making up cultural lessons again. Bai Jinyi’s villa is equipped with floor heating. It is usually as warm as spring, but for some reason It suddenly broke down a few days ago, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the repairmen all returned to their hometowns, and they would come to work at the earliest, so Jiang Shen got up shivering every day, brushing his teeth and washing his face while warming up.

In contrast, Bai Jinyi was much colder. Because of the cold weather, he was not as hot as before when he woke up. When he came back from his morning run, he looked steaming.

"Why don't you get a hand warmer?" He looked at Jiang Shen's fingertips huddled in the long-sleeved sweater, "Are you wearing socks?"

Jiang Shendong's teeth were trembling a little: "Put it on, wear it on."

Bai Jinyi: "Have you turned on the air conditioner at night?"

Jiang Shen: "Can't open it, my face will fall off."

As soon as Bai Jin took out the can of horse oil, he wiped some on his palm and raised Jiang Shen's chin: "Wipe it."

Jiang Shen tilted his head obediently, Bai Jinyi's hands were warm and dry, and his movements of wiping his face were also gentle. Jiang Shen's face became hot unconsciously after being wiped a few times.

"I'll do it myself..." Jiang Shen said with a blushing face.

Bai Jin put away the can of horse oil: "It's all wiped off."

Jiang Shen rubbed his face, it was really moist.

Bai Jinyi seemed to want to laugh, but held back, and said lightly while drinking porridge: "It's been too cold these days, let's sleep together tonight."

Jiang Shen was taken aback: "Sleep, where to sleep?"

Bai Jinyi: "You sleep with me or I sleep with you, you choose."

In the cultural class in the morning, Zhang Zhi is now Jiang Shen's regular deskmate. Because of Bai Jinyi's relationship, Little Swan listened to the class in a daze, until Zhang Zhi next to him pushed him several times.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Zhi asked, "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Jiang Shen came back to his senses and said vaguely: "The weather is too cold..."

Zhang Zhi: "Practicing at this time is too painful, you can practice again in the afternoon?"

Jiang Shen shook his head: "I have already practiced in the morning."

Zhang Zhi was stunned for a while, then surprised: "Have you practiced...?"

Jiang Shen: "I also need to practice late kung fu at night." He frowned, looked at Zhang Zhi and said, "Isn't this the foundation?"

Zhang Zhi: "..." He was a little surprised, "You work so hard."

Jiang Shen: "Senior Sister's dance rehearsal is very important, don't you want to go on stage too?"

Zhang Zhi nodded: "Except for me, half of the class has been selected. Everyone likes Chief Jing. He has a good temper."

Jiang Shen: "Senior sister is also very strict, and the second seat has not been selected yet."

Zhang Zhi laughed: "There is no need to choose the second seat, it must be you."

As expected, Jing Luoyun's dance rehearsal will formally select the second seat in the afternoon. Jiang Shen and two other dancers are participating in the election. Liu Xingzhi and Jing Luoyun are both present, sitting upright and serious in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Come and jump.

The group dancers who didn't need to run for the second place circled around the floor and sat on the floor, but they started sneaking around to gossip about the second place.

"What's the point of this pretentious selection?" A female dancer complained softly, "There are only three people on the fifth floor. If Chief Liu doesn't dance, it must be Jiang Shen's."

Someone retorted: "Not necessarily, he is not very old, maybe he lacks stage experience and can't perform well."

Another person sneered: "What does it matter, the fifth floor only depends on talent, the chosen one, this so-called election is just a show, even if he can't dance well, it must be him."

Zhang Zhi couldn't listen anymore, and turned his head and said seriously: "Jiang Shen is very desperate, and he can't dance well with his practice intensity."

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them convinced: "Didn't you say he was a genius before?"

"He's a genius." Zhang Zhili said confidently, "But genius doesn't contradict his hard work, it's both genius and hard work."

After Jiang Shen's last move, Jing Luoyun couldn't help showing a smile, Liu Xingzhi stretched slowly, and tapped the roster with the pen in his hand.

"Second seat." He announced, "Jiang Shen."

Although the other two dancers looked regretful, there was nothing unconvinced. Liu Xingzhi asked Jiang Shen to come to him. He glanced at the crowd and asked suddenly: "It's cold, have you practiced well?"

Unlike Jing Luoyun, Chief Liu put on a stern face when he questioned and reprimanded him, which was not much different from the pressure Shen Junyi gave people, so sometimes when Shen Junyi was not around, the job of supervision would fall to Liu Xingzhi.

Seeing that no one answered, he smiled sarcastically: "I have heard a lot from the third floor recently, and you are quite free."

Jiang Shen blinked, and seemed to understand, just about to open his mouth, but was held down by Jing Luoyun's hand, and the senior sister made a "shh" gesture to him, signaling him to listen.

"You." With the pen in Liu Xingzhi's hand, he randomly clicked on a girl, "How long do you practice in a day?"

The other party was obviously very afraid of him, got up and answered tremblingly: "4, 4 hours?"

Liu Xingzhi snorted and said, "Hands raised for more than four hours."

Most of the people on the third floor raised their hands.

Liu Xingzhi: "Six hours."

Only a dozen or so people raised their hands this time.

Liu Xingzhi continued to ask, "Eight hours."

Few people still raised their hands.

Liu Xingzhi couldn't help laughing: "You are at this level, do you dare to label us with big words?" He looked around, put away his smile, and said coldly, "Jing Luoyun used to be your third floor Senior Sister, don’t you guys know why she was promoted to the chief position on the fifth floor?”

Everyone was silent, and they didn't even have the courage to look up at Liu Xingzhi.

"Be vigilant day and night, and the merits are not in vain." Liu Xingzhi said calmly, "What does this mean, I don't need to repeat it."

"When you went to cultural class in the morning, Liu Xingzhi went down to supervise a few times." Jing Luoyun waited for everyone to leave before explaining to Jiang Shen with a smile, "You are too easy to bully, so you just listen to what they say Well, don’t come back and talk to us.”

Jiang Shen scratched the back of his head, embarrassed: "They didn't say anything...and I have rebuttals."

Liu Xingzhi couldn't help laughing at him: "As far as your retort level is concerned, let alone my junior brother in the future, the fifth floor can't afford to lose this guy!"

"..." Jiang Shen was so trained that he had no temper at all, so he had to kneel on the ground and rub the floor obediently.

Jing Luoyun said gently: "Shen Shen's junior is cute, and besides the dance is so good today, don't you think they dare not say anything?"

"What else do they dare to say?" Liu Xingzhi stepped on the pole like a master, and said arrogantly, "It's fine to say that I'm a genius, but how can I be a genius, my stupid junior? I'm only at this level after practicing for 12 hours a day. far!"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Although it was rare for Liu Xingzhi to be the master for him, Jiang Shen didn't think it was a very happy thing to be ridiculed so mercilessly for his talent.

Especially after practicing the evening exercises, after taking a shower, I came out shivering from the cold, and the bed was also chilly, and I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Jiang Shen was thinking about dancing, and after thinking about it, he thought about his brothers and sisters, but finally he thought of Bai Jinyi, his mind was full of anxiety about "why didn't he come to sleep when he said he wanted to sleep together in the morning", he raised his body and looked at the door After several times, he finally gritted his teeth and tiptoed out of the room with the quilt and pillow in his arms.

"If he doesn't come, I'll go there..." Jiang Shen muttered to comfort himself, "Man, you have to count on what you say, and you can't care about so much."
