Although he went back to Bai Jinyi's bed at night, Jiang Shen couldn't help but feel sad the next day when he thought that he was going to America sometime. He went to the dance room early in the morning, finished practicing, and danced the rehearsal dance, but he was thinking about sad things.
So much so that because of her poor condition, Shen Junyi couldn't help but look at him several times, frowned and called his name severely.
When it was getting lively outside, Shen Junyi went out to pick up people, Jing Luoyun and Liu Xingzhi were also very excited, calling Jiang Shen: "The ancestor is here, take a look."
Jiang Shen wasn't very interested, but he didn't want to spoil the interest of his brothers and sisters. The three of them hid behind the door with their heads folded, and saw Ren Hui and Shen Junyi hugging a person up from left to right.
"That's the second master of the ancestor." Jing Luoyun lowered his head and whispered with his head on top.
Liu Xingzhi quickly tied up his dreadlocks, and knocked Jiang Shen's head with his chin: "You have to be more confident later, don't lose face of Master."
Jiang Shen rolled his eyelids to look at him, a little unhappy: "I won't."
Shen Junyi was the first to see the three of them, beckoned, turned her head to the people around her and said: "You have seen Luoyun and Xingzhi before, they have grown up a lot."
The man nodded. He was wearing a wide-brimmed round hat, which was obviously a very feminine style, but it was not at all unsuitable for this man to wear. He turned his face halfway, revealing a round and elegant jawline.
Shen Junyi: "This is my new apprentice, Jiang Shen."
Jiang Shen came closer, Shen Junyi pulled him, and introduced: "This is your second master, Ai Lai."
Ai Lai didn't speak, he raised his hand and slowly took off his hat.
Different from Shen Junyi's cold and handsome, nor Zhou Luoxiang's peach blossom femininity, Ai Lai looks just right everywhere, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, darker and gaudy and vulgar, lighter and bland as water.
It's not that Jiang Shen has never seen someone as handsome as Bai Jinyi, but Ai Lai is good-looking in another sense.
He doesn't seem real, more like an illusory dream.
"Zhou Luoxiang showed me this kid's dance." Ai Lai said, his voice sounded like a jade ring, he looked at Shen Junyi and laughed, "You found a good seedling."
Shen Junyi didn't like Zhou Luoxiang's name: "Why do you mention him?"
Ai Lai turned his eyes and said lightly: "You are the only one who remembers the things in the past."
Shen Junyi frowned, and said in a sarcastic tone, "After all, some people have poor memory."
Ai Lai seemed to think he was stubborn, curled his lips in disdain, and put the hat back on. He looked at the children and said kindly, "I haven't been back for a long time, let's see how much you have improved."
After Ai finished speaking, Liu Xingzhi and Jing Luoyun looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Liu Xingzhi was even more nervous and sweated on his forehead. Said: "Second master is not fierce at all, he speaks so softly."
Jing Luoyun gave him a lifeless look, and his voice was softer than usual: "You'll find out later... Every time he comes back, all the students in the school have to cry for three days."
Jiang Shen: "...?"
Liu Xingzhi added with a dark face from the side: "I was scolded and cried by him."
Jing Luoyun sighed: "The ancestor didn't call it for nothing, he really is the ancestor."
Ai Lai sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a gentle and gentle expression on his face, and occasionally said a few words to Shen Junyi next to him, Jiang Shen really didn't see anything scary, until Liu Xingzhi and Jing Luoyun finished their respective dances part.
"I told you five years ago." Ai Lai folded his arms, his eyes fell on Liu Xingzhi's face, "Don't land so hard, and hold your toes. After five years, are you still a pig?"
Liu Xingzhi: "..."
Ai Lai smiled: "No, pigs should have a better memory than you after all these years."
Liu Xingzhi didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal, bowed his head to be scolded, Jing Luoyun trembled as if he couldn't protect himself, there was nothing he could do to help. After scolding Liu Xingzhi, Ai Lai continued to scold Jing Luoyun, from "the waist is not soft enough" to "dancing like a marionette, you can't get feelings", he seemed tired of scolding at the end, and sent Shen Junyi to pour tea for himself.
"Jiang Shen." Ai Lai said lightly, "It's your turn."
The brothers and sisters in the front were scolded so badly, Jiang Shen didn't have any hope that he could hide from it, he bit the bullet and put on a posture, and when the music started, he quickly entered the state, but only after dancing a bar, Ai Lai called out stop.
Jiang Shen was panting, not understanding where he jumped wrong.
Ai Lai squinted and stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Are you broken in love? Jump out of this stupid thing?"
Jiang Shen: "..."
All of them underestimated Ai Lai's ability to curse.
The ancestors did not dance, the ancestors only cursed.
For about half a month in the future, the fifth floor will be filled with Ailai’s 360° three-dimensional surround-type non-stop and non-repetitive machine gun scolding mode. Everyone will live under high pressure.
Finally, at the end of the day, the three brothers and sisters were all dead, lying head to head on the floor of the dance room.
Liu Xingzhi was miserable: "Why did he stay so long this time? When will he leave?"
Jing Luoyun lay facing the sky, almost out of breath, and said quietly: "The ancestors come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want..."
Of course, the worst one is Jiang Shen, who is chased by Ai Lai almost every day and asks, "Are you still broken in love?" "Who do you have a crush on?" "Have you confessed?" Use?", so that the senior brothers and sisters couldn't stand it anymore, and asked him quietly in private: "Did you jump into Swan Lake?"
Jiang Shen lay on the floor not wanting to move, and after a long time he said in a low voice, "I probably won't be able to dance anymore..."
Liu Xingzhi turned his head to look at him: "Why? They don't want you anymore?"
Jiang Shen lowered his eyes, pitifully: "That's not true...but he's going abroad soon..."
Jing Luoyun lay beside him, and pushed him with his elbow: "What's wrong with going abroad, you will have a lot of opportunities to go abroad in the future, confess first, maybe you will succeed?"
"Really?" Jiang Shen raised his head, finally had some hope, and asked longingly, "Can I go abroad too?"
Liu Xingzhi: "We have to go abroad for competitions. I have been to Europe many times, but the food is not good."
"Europe..." Jiang Shen muttered, "It's not America..."
Jing Luoyun couldn't help gossiping: "America? Is the person you like going to America?"
Jiang Shen said "hmm", sighed several times in annoyance, and said, "Let me think about it again."
Liu Xingzhi and Jing Luoyun still had dance rehearsals, so Jiang Shen stayed alone to clean up, he knelt on the floor and wiped the floor, and was about to put away his dance shoes when he suddenly heard someone behind him saying: "Aren't you leaving yet? "
Jiang Shen turned his head and saw that it was Ai Lai, his head grew big again: "Second Master." He said cautiously, "I'll leave right away."
Ai Lai didn't say anything. He took off his shoes and walked in barefoot. When Jiang Shen lowered his head, he saw a large scar on the upper and rear of the other's left ankle.
"Achilles tendon rupture." Ai Lai noticed Jiang Shen's gaze, and shook his leg indifferently, "Olympic champion Liu Xiang also has this problem."
Jiang Shen didn't know what to say, so he could only sit upright and kneel.
Ai Lai: "Athletes and dancers are prone to this problem, so pay attention to training." He seems to recall, "I was young and vigorous at that time, knowing that my talent was not as good as Shen Junyi and I was unwilling, and I was overloaded with practice. That's the price."
Jiang Shen thought of the previous love affairs of Lai Yichuan again. He secretly glanced at Ai Lai. Even if he was instigated by his senior brothers and sisters before, after the baptism of gunfire for a while, he didn't have the courage to ask.
Ai took a look at him and seemed to know exactly what he was thinking: "Are you curious about my relationship with Shen Junyi?"
Jiang Shen didn't expect to be exposed so easily, blushing with embarrassment, and honestly said "um".
Ai Lai laughed: "No wonder Shen Junyi likes you, it's really cute."
"..." Jiang Shen thought about what's the use of being cute, isn't he still being scolded by you every day...
Ai Lai propped his chin and thought for a while: "Then have you confessed to the person you like?"
"Not yet." Jiang Shen had no choice but to say, "I just finished practicing in Swan Lake, and I didn't find a suitable opportunity..."
"Swan Lake." Ai Lai was a little surprised, but after a while, he seemed to understand again, "This is indeed Shen Junyi's style, Laiyi's tradition and so on, he is the only one who can keep it so old-fashioned."
Jiang Shen: "?"
Ai Lai, "Shen Junyi probably asked you, why did you dance?"
Jiang Shen nodded.
Ai Lai asked, "How did you answer?"
Jiang Shen stammered: "I said... because I like it."
Ai Lai waited for a while, then opened his eyes wide, and asked him, "No more?"
Jiang Shen said honestly: "No more."
Ai Lai: "..."
Jiang Shen: "..."
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Ai Lai finally couldn't help laughing. He laughed so hard that his eyes were red from laughing. After wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said out of breath: "No wonder Shen Junyi Let me come back and teach you."
Jiang Shen frowned and looked at him puzzled.
Ai Lai breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were gentle, like the soft water plants at the bottom of the lake: "When I was the same age as you, I knew that Shen Junyi was the kind of technical genius, he could not think about anything, just concentrate on dancing, and dance everything Template, same template."
"I also imitated him at the beginning and took him as a role model. I thought I should be like this." Ai Lai gestured, "But I found that it was not possible. I will never catch up with him."
Ai said, "I just like dancing."
Humans are animals with emotions, and I have too many emotions. When I dance, I will never be able to concentrate on it like Shen Junyi. I like to dance, I like to be infatuated with my dance fans, I like my dance partner, and I even liked him at first.
After Ai finished talking, he was silent for a long time before saying again: "But Shen Junyi is an idiot, my liking is worthless to him."
Jiang Shen called out "Second Master". He wanted to defend Master, but was interrupted by Ai Lai.
"I'm not that specific." Ai Lai said with a smile, "He rejected me, I like others, I need empathy when I dance, I fell in love with my dance partner many times, so in the end I was not sure about myself The liking for him at the beginning was the empathy for dancing, and it was just for him.”
Jiang Shen shook his head and said firmly: "I am very specific, I only like one person."
"Then tell him." Ai Lai looked at him and said calmly, "Shen Junyi doesn't love me, but he once tried to save me. After I finished repairing the Achilles tendon rupture, he changed the name of the studio. As Laiyi, using the Swan Lake I danced for him as a tradition, all he did was to respond to me, to let me find empathy and stand on the stage again, but I failed."
Ai Lai showed a self-deprecating smile, and he said lightly: "I can't find the place where my soul lives. After I really have the so-called free soul of a dancer, I have completely lost my love for dancing forever. .”
"So." He held Jiang Shen's hand, and said in a low voice, reverently, "Your like is extremely precious, no matter what, don't lose it."
