The cleansing water is cold, but Bai Jinyi's hands are warm through the cotton pad. In fact, he is not very proficient in his movements, but he can see it anyway. He won't be like Jiang Shen, who wiped himself into a big face .
Jiang Shen seemed to feel itchy when he was rubbed between his brows, but actually laughed "hehe".
Bai Jin looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Shen was not so scared at the beginning, he hid for a while: "itch..."
Bai Jinyi frowned again: "Why are you so delicate."
Jiang Shen didn't want to be called squeamish anymore, so he stood up straight and didn't move. He waited for Bai Jin to finish wiping his face with a cotton pad, and then rinsed it with water for a few more waves. After washing, he raised his head, approached Bai Jin and asked, "Is it clean?"
As soon as Bai Jin took the glove and just put it back, seeing his face was too close, he raised his fist against Jiang Shen's cheek and gently pushed it away. Jiang Shen was caught off guard, and pouted under the pressure of the fist: "...what are you doing?"
Bai Jinyi seemed to think it was more fun for him to do this, so he didn't put his fist down, and continued to ask: "Aren't you going to dance?"
Jiang Shen said vaguely: "Go after washing your face."
Bai Jinyi: "How old are you?"
Jiang Shen: "I will be 9 years old in June this year."
Bai Jinyi: "Oh."
Jiang Shen glanced at him: "Are you younger than me?"
"Who said that?" Bai Jin put down his fist, "I'm also nine years old."
Jiang Shen laughed. Although Bai Jinyi looked fierce, he was not bad to people. He waited in the corridor for Jiang Shen to pack up his things, and the two walked to the classroom together. Bai Jinyi seemed curious about his dancing shoes, kept looking down at them, and finally couldn't help asking: "Isn't the piece in front of your shoes sticking out?"
Jiang Shen raised his foot: "I was not used to it before, but I won't be able to wear it for a long time."
Bai Jin glanced at his shoes, but said nothing.
Jiang Shen seems to want to chat with him a few more words. After all, he is the only boy in the dance classroom, and he can’t participate in many topics and ideas of the girls. Even if he likes to dance, it is still very lonely without a playmate at an age that loves to play. thing.
Bai Jin didn't talk much, and listened to Jiang Shen's talk all the way. When he was about to reach the boxing ring, someone came out of it, and he was stunned when he saw Bai Jinyi and Jiang Shen together.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" The other party looked quite old, one head taller than Jiang Shen, "Who is he?"
This is obviously a question from Bai Jinyi.
"The little swan next door." Bai Jin replied, he looked at Jiang Shen, "You should go dancing."
Jiang Shen said "Oh", and he looked at the boy who was a head taller than him, who was also looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Song Xin shouted at the door of the dance room: "Jiang Shen! Come in!"
Jiang Shen ran over quickly: "Here we come." He couldn't help but look back while running, Bai Jinyi seemed to know that he would turn back, and raised his eyebrows with a great face.
Song Xin dragged Jiang Shen into the classroom, saying in an unhappy tone, "Didn't I tell you not to go play with them?"
Jiang Shen returned the makeup remover and cotton pads to Mr. Lin: "Just in time, who is that tall boy?"
Song Xin whispered into his ear: "This year's boxing champion in the city's juvenile group is called Lai Song." After thinking about it, Song Xin continued, "He is older than us. He is in the second or third year of junior high school. Don't worry." Go mess with him."
Jiang Shen agreed with "yes", and was surrounded by girls and stood in a row. Teacher Lin explained a few things to learn today, and then asked the students to disperse to warm up. She called Jiang Shen to her, and said gently: "Today I will start pressing my toes. If you feel uncomfortable later, you can tell the teacher."
Jiang Shen seemed to understand but half understood: "What is toe pressing?"
Teacher Lin explained: "Ballet dance has a foothold, but it can't be erected all at once." She motioned Jiang Shen to hold on to the pole and lift up one leg, "Straighten the calf... well, the instep is also straightened." Her palm Wrap Jiang Shen's instep, and slowly press in with his toes, "Keep tight, hold on, okay."
Jiang Shen held his breath and straightened his toes vigorously. He didn't know how long he persisted before Teacher Lin let go of his legs.
"You are really tolerant." Teacher Lin looked at him and smiled, "You can say uncomfortable things."
Jiang Shen blushed: "It's not uncomfortable..."
Teacher Lin shook her head, and she signaled Jiang Shen to sit down with her legs straight: "Take off your shoes."
Jiang Shen obediently took off his shoes, and when Teacher Lin saw his toes, he said "huh", "What's wrong with the big big toe?"
Jiang Shen: "I knocked it down at home today, it doesn't hurt."
Teacher Lin sighed, and rarely became serious: "From now on, your toes will be your life, so you must protect them."
Jiang Shen nodded quickly, and he continued to tighten his toes according to Teacher Lin's request, bending his toes inwards as much as possible.
"I will practice like this every day from now on." Teacher Lin supported his heels, and said slowly, "Eat more chicken and beef when you get home, boil it for nothing, don't put oil, eat less salt, eat more eggs, eat less sugar, and eat more. Drink milk...remember?"
Only then did Jiang Shen react: "Ah?"
Teacher Lin laughed: "Forget it, I'll talk to your mother."
Tan Lingling came to deliver food in the afternoon, and went to the dance room to watch her son practice dancing. Teacher Lin brought a laptop and played the dance clips of "The Moon Reflected in Two Springs" to teach the children basic body posture.
Jiang Shen studied very seriously. His arms are soft and powerful, and the arc of rotation is beautiful. After practicing a few times, he really has such a look. Tan Lingling looked at the window for a while, and couldn't help laughing. She went to the door and called Teacher Lin several times in a low voice. The teacher saw her and came out.
"This is a dish just received at home today." Tan Lingling enthusiastically pushed a few packets of seasonal vegetables in her hand, "Teacher Lin, take it home and try it."
Teacher Lin was really embarrassed: "Sister Lingling, you send such a lot every time you come, how can I be ashamed."
Tan Lingling: "I'm so sorry, our family really needs you to take care of me."
"Jiang Shen is so obedient, I am happy to take care of him." In order to reassure Tan Lingling, Teacher Lin still took away the food, and then told the other party what to ask Jiang Shen to eat. Tan Lingling looked surprised: " Want to eat so much?"
Teacher Lin couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not that I eat so much in one meal, but I will focus on these in the future."
Tan Lingling frowned thoughtfully, and Teacher Lin persuaded: "Dancing also requires strength. Only by eating these boys can you grow strength and muscles. Jiang Shen must persevere."
After the class ended in the afternoon, Jiang Shen took the initiative to stay and clean the dance room. He would take advantage of these times to practice the basic skills again every day, humming and stepping on the beat, and finally saw Bai Jinyi when he passed the boxing gym to return the bucket.
Lai Song was also there, and both of them got into the ring. Lai Song held the bar in his hand, and Bai Jin swung his fist extremely fast. The sound of hitting the bar was scary. As for the others, Jiang Shen also Unable to understand, he leaned forward and looked inside for a while, and Lai Song spotted him first.
"Little Swan." Lai Song smiled and showed two obvious canine teeth, "Why are you here?"
As soon as Bai Jin turned his head, his face was covered with sweat again, he raised his arm and brushed it away with his sleeve.
Jiang Shen: "I'm cleaning up and getting ready to go."
Lai Song walked to the edge of the boxing ring, hung half of his body on the rope, and beckoned him to come over.
Jiang Shen put down the barrel and walked over slowly.
Bai Jinyi took a kettle to drink water, and asked, "You are the only one."
Jiang Shen looked at his kettle curiously: "Yes."
Lai Song smiled: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Shen looked away in embarrassment, Lai Song understood, and joked: "Have you never seen such a kettle? Bai Jin's family is rich, and they drink water from branded products."
Bai Jin kicked him: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Lai Song didn't hide, and scolded with a smile: "I'm your senior, show some respect."
Jiang Shen saw that he couldn't get into the conversation, and was standing dryly. Lai Song suddenly looked at him: "Looking at your family's situation, it should be normal, right?"
Jiang Shen's face was a little hot. He actually spoke with a bit of an accent, and he didn't dress well. He knew what was going on at home, but he never cared about it, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with being poor, but The situation is different when Lai Song puts it on the table so bluntly.
"You and Bai Jin are both quite strange." Lai Song was not malicious, he pointed at each other, "As the saying goes, children from rich families don't punch, and children from poor families don't dance, but you are the other way around. gone."
Bai Jinyi said: "Why doesn't he love dancing?"
Lai Song: "Boys jumping into Swan Lake? Have you seen it?"
"Yes, yes." Jiang Shen stammered suddenly, "I, I checked."
Bai Jinyi and Lai Song glanced at each other, and their eyes fell on Jiang Shen's face.
Jiang Shen blushed again, and said very seriously: "In the future, I will learn it and show you the dance."
