In the dance studio, Shen Ruo stopped.
The dance steps that Chu Xiao taught him were not too intense, they were soothing, but he still broke into a thin sweat.
Shen Ruo sat on a stool to rest, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he gently fanned himself twice with his hand.
It has been getting hotter these days. Even if the temperature in the dance studio is not high, you will still feel very hot if you keep moving.
It was also at this time that the walls of the dance studio began to move, and a slight wind began to blow, making Shen Ruo feel the slightest bit of coolness.
He was a little surprised, and even thought that the Chu family's dance studio was also smart.
The optical brain vibrated. Shen Ruo lowered his head and opened the communication. It was Chu Xiao.
Watch virtual images
Subconsciously, Shen Ruo raised his head. The virtual image had been standing there. When his hand was placed on the image's hand and was detected by the sensor, Chu Xiao's virtual image would move and practice with him.
The virtual image that was standing there, no different from the real person, slowly raised its head and looked at Shen Ruo on the stool.
"Chu Xiao?"
Shen Ruo realized that this was Chu Xiao's communication image projected onto this image.
"It's me." Chu Xiao smiled gently at him and walked over.
"Is it a communication image?" Shen Ruo asked him.
"Um."
When he walked up to Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao looked exactly like a real person.
"Why don't you drink water?"
That low magnetic sound sounded indescribably pleasant.
"how do you know?"
Shen Ruo opened his eyes slightly in surprise. He knew that Chu Xiao's communication was not connected here before.
"There is surveillance."
Chu Xiao pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner, smiled and said to Shen Ruo: "I want to see you... how are you practicing? I turned on the surveillance camera and saw you resting and not drinking water. I just finished the graduation certificate procedures. ”
When he said this, Shen Ruo also felt a little thirsty, so he stood up and took a glass of water. He drank a few sips, then turned back here and gave Chu Xiao a shallow smile.
"What about the wind just now?"
Shen Ruo glanced at the wall. There was still a gentle breeze blowing into the dance studio.
"I see you are fanning with your hands and turning on the low setting."
Chu Xiao smiled, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.
"How are you practicing? I didn't see it just now. Turn on the monitoring and you are taking a rest." In order to prevent Shen Ruo from noticing anything, Chu Xiao changed the topic.
"I don't know either." Shen Ruo frowned in distress and looked up at Chu Xiao.
"I still remember it now, but if that night passes, I worry that I will be nervous and forget what to do."
Shen Ruo looked nervous. Chu Xiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you forget. I'm here, just follow me."
His slightly deep magnetic voice sounded very reliable, which finally gave Shen Ruo, who had been worried, some comfort.
"If you really forget when you are dancing, I will remind you."
Chu Xiao comforted Shen Ruo again.
Obviously, this sentence made Shen Ruo more relieved. Also, when the time came to dance, they would be very close. Chu Xiao quietly reminded him that it was completely okay. Why didn't he think of it before.
Seeing that Shen Ruo's expression finally relaxed, Chu Xiaojun kept smiling.
Recalling that Chu Xiao said just now that he was resting when he turned on the surveillance camera, Shen Ruo's voice was soft and he said, "Then I'll dance it again and you can see."
The virtual image is completely tactile. Thinking of this, Chu Xiao rejected Shen Ruo.
"I'll go back in time for lunch, and we'll practice together then. You should rest more. Your face is red. Have you been practicing for a long time?"
The thoughtful and gentle words made the warmth in Shen Ruo's heart expand again.
"You should drink water and rest now. I have no other plans this afternoon and I still have a lot of time."
Looking at Shen Ruo who looked up at him with soft eyes, Chu Xiao wanted to touch his head again. The hand hanging by his side moved slightly, but in the end he did not make this move, and now he couldn't touch it.
When he gets back, he can take this opportunity of dancing to hold the person in his arms, but unfortunately, the most he can do is touch his head, and he can't do anything else for the time being.
Sometimes, the more unobtainable something is, the more people will miss it. If left unchecked, it may even become an obsession.
Hearing that Chu Xiao would come back, I had to say that Shen Ruo really felt that he wouldn't be so nervous if he was around.
"Then see you at noon."
Chu Xiao smiled gently and said to Shen Ruo.
Seeing that Chu Xiao was about to cut off the communication, Shen Ruo hummed obediently and subconsciously waved to him slightly.
Shen Ruo disappeared in front of him, and Chu Xiao, who was sitting in the school lounge, still saw his appearance just now, waving goodbye very well. The hand was also white and soft, and of course, he knew how to hold it. How it would feel to hold that hand.
―――
Just before lunch, the housekeeper came to the dance studio.
"Master Shen."
The housekeeper and Shen Ruo became familiar with each other, but their attitude was still respectful.
Shen Ruogang stopped for the last time. After talking to Chu Xiao, he was still practicing. If he felt tired, he would take a rest. It was different from the nervousness just now. He also remembered Chu Xiao's words and would drink some while taking a break. Replenish the water.
When he relaxed, he found that he had actually mastered it and remembered every step clearly. It was just because he was too nervous before and all he thought about was practicing more before he could remember it. His nerves were too tense.
After seeing the housekeeper, Shen Ruo smiled at him. The hair on his forehead was a little wet with sweat. He had been in the dance studio all morning.
The housekeeper came to call Shen Ruo for dinner, and the two of them walked out. He looked hesitant on his face.
"Butler, what's wrong?"
Shen Ruo asked him subconsciously, because the housekeeper looked a little worried.
"Master Shen, it's like this. The young master of the Kester family is coming to the Duke's Mansion as a guest." The housekeeper said. He looked at Shen Ruo, still a little worried.
Shen Ruo looked at the housekeeper and nodded. He did hear the housekeeper say it during breakfast.
"Master Ari also stayed for lunch. You will see him soon. However, Master Ari is spoiled at home and has a bit of a temper..."
The housekeeper didn't continue, but Shen Ruo probably knew that the other party might be a very spoiled young master. He smiled and said, "I understand the housekeeper, I won't make him angry."
Shen Ruo doesn't seem to be a troublemaker, and the housekeeper naturally knows that, but if Shen Ruo doesn't trouble others, it doesn't mean that others will be as good-tempered as him.
"Master Ari has been more dependent on the young master since he was a child. They have grown up together. They are very interested in women and Asians who are close to the young master..."
Seeing that Shen Ruo didn't take this matter to heart, the housekeeper couldn't help but remind him that what he said was a bit excessive, so he didn't go any further. It was enough here.
Shen Ruo didn't expect it to be like this, and he was stunned for a moment.
When the housekeeper said this, it seemed that he and Chu Xiao had indeed become a bit close recently.
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the old lady and I will be here."
Seeing Shen Ruo stunned, the housekeeper quickly comforted him.
Shen Ruo could only nod. As for the young master who might be quite spoiled, it would be better if he didn't mess with him.
Even if the other party really said something, he would pretend that he couldn't hear it, as long as there was no conflict. After all, this was the Chu family, not his home, so there was nothing wrong with being patient.
Thinking like this, Shen Ruo put a slight smile on his face again and followed the housekeeper to the main building.
When Shen Ruo saw the blond boy in an exquisite suit, his eyes lit up. Ari Kester was a beautiful and dazzling little Asian.
In the small garden in front of the main building, Ari was sitting on a wicker chair swing under the flower stand, with a servant slowly pushing him behind him.
Those blue eyes looked at Shen Ruo, they were very clear blue.
He slightly raised his delicate chin, which immediately revealed the arrogance in his character. But for such a noble and beautiful little Asian, even Shen Ruo felt that pampering him seemed to be a matter of course. What should be done.
"Are you Shen Ruo?"
Ari stood up. As a demi-human, he was not short in stature and looked similar to Shen Ruo.
When the housekeeper heard this, his intuition was wrong, because he and the old lady had not mentioned Shen Ruo's existence to him until now, and planned to wait until they met before introducing them.
It is enough to say that Shen Ruo is also a guest of the Chu family. In order not to embarrass Ari, Shen Ruo will not say anything else. Ari can't get to the bottom of things. This would be too rude. Unexpectedly, Ari knows now. .
Shen Ruo nodded and said, "It's me."
He looked at Ari, his eyes still bright, without any timidity or uneasiness, because Shen Ruo had already planned it. No matter what Ari said, he just didn't care, and the other party would never embarrass him.
Coming to a strange place would make Shen Ruo feel uneasy, but he had been at the Duke's Mansion for two weeks, and Chu Xiao took him everywhere to play all day long, and he had a very good temper, so Shen Ruo was in front of Chu Xiao. Very relaxing.
No matter what he doesn't know how to do, Chu Xiao not only teaches him, but also often encourages and praises him. If there are many things Shen Ruo doesn't know, Chu Xiao always comforts him. There is nothing he can't do, as long as he learns it. , nothing is difficult, and he often says that he doesn’t even know how to do it at the beginning, and he has to learn everything.
Encouragement and praise are important to many people. Even if some people think these are not important, for Shen Ruo, they are.
He had just arrived at Emperor Star and was afraid that he would do something wrong, but Chu Xiao would never reprimand or blame him, even if Shen Ruo did something wrong.
Words like scolding and blaming will always make people lose confidence if they are used too often. Chu Xiao has never treated Shen Ruofo like this once.
So even Shen Ruo himself didn't realize that he was already a little different from the timid Asian who just came to the Emperor Star. He was slowly becoming more confident. When faced with strangers who might be looking for trouble, he Not showing any timidity is a big improvement.
"I know the reason why you came to the Chu family, but you better not think like this. I won't embarrass you, as long as you stay away from Chu Xiao."
Slowly walking up to Shen Ruo, Ari's tone was full of condescension. He was kind to such an Asian from the countryside and would not embarrass the other person. As long as he knew what he was doing and left the Emperor Star, it would be fine.
Shen Ruo didn't say anything. He glanced at the proud Ari and lowered his eyes because he didn't know how to answer Ari.
Although Chu Xiao once told him that they would try to get along for a while, no one knew what would happen next. The two of them were just friends now.
If there is really no result with Chu Xiao, he will go home, but now, he doesn't know what Chu Xiao is thinking. As for himself...
Shen Ruo thought for a while, but was still a little confused. Chu Xiao was very good, but he said at the beginning that he would need to get along for a while, and if possible, he would consider the next step. What was the premise of "if possible"? He seemed a little confused. At a loss.
In Shen Ruo's understanding, if you want to get married, you must have feelings, that is to say, you must like each other before you can get married.
Before Shen Ruo could think of anything, Ari saw his silence and thought that he had successfully convinced this Asian man from the countryside. A slightly satisfied smile appeared on his beautiful and delicate face.
"Also, you don't have to go to Chu Xiao's graduation party this time. I will accompany him."
Hearing these words, Shen Ruo, who was originally silent, suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ari.
