Chi Yan left Duan’s house and walked to the nursing home, where he glanced at the cat from a distance. The kitten seemed to be getting better and was trying to stand up unsteadily.
Several old people snorted softly when they saw him coming, not hiding their disgust for him at all.
Chi Yan bowed and left.
The old lady who complimented Jiang Sui on her good looks that day was surnamed Cui. She said funnily: “You are all very old. It’s not his fault that you are arguing with a young boy.”
The old veterinarian tapped his cane hard: “Looking at him like that, does he have any backbone and his own ideas?”
Old Mrs. Cui said: “You are the only one who has backbone! Backbone is the excess of people who don’t know how it feels to be hungry or cold. This kind of food cannot be eaten or warmed. What is he going to do? Do you think that at his age, he should be proud and strong? If there are no difficulties, wouldn’t he also be happy to be driven by others!”
The old veterinarian snorted and stopped talking.
When Chi Yan walked to No. 19 Changqing Road, school had already finished at noon for a while.
He stood across the street for a moment, then stepped towards the other side.
In May, the characters “Morning Dew Dance Class” shimmered slightly in the sun, and the street trees were blown by the summer wind, as their green leaves swayed slightly.
He looked up and saw the little girl standing in front of the mirror.
The girls laughed and teased her: “Sui Sui, you are not doing this right, you should raise your legs a little higher.”
“Still not right…Hahaha Sui Sui, stand still.”
The little girl was pressing her legs, her dancing shoes were placed on the pole, her slender legs were straight, and the pink shoe tips were tight.
However, she staggered and swayed here and there, and several girls laughed so hard that they slapped their thighs.
Jiang Sui’s face turned red from suppressing it, and she said, “Stop laughing, I’m going to collapse.”
The girls helped her remove her soft legs.
The eldest girl, Chen Yu, was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She said angrily: “The teacher said you are not allowed to help her. She still falls when she walks. It’s because you guys are used to helping her. It’s been almost two years. She must learn to control her balance today.”
Everyone suddenly stopped laughing and joking.
Chen Yu pointed to the small ladder: “Sui Sui, climb up, and then get down from the balance beams. Use your brain to control your thinking, and you must keep up with the rhythm of your body.” She said to the other girls with a tigerish face, “No one is allowed to help her, everyone go upstairs to practice!”
The girls touched Jiang Sui’s head sympathetically and went upstairs one after another.
Jiang Sui climbed up the ladder using her hands and feet.
Chen Yu removed the ladder and pointed to the three-finger-wide “interval balance beam” on the side. She said, “Come down from there.”
Jiang Sui’s face turned green.
Her feet were about two meters above the ground, and the three-finger balance beam was thin. Chen Yu removed the thick cushion to prevent falls, which really forced her to master her balance today.
This kind of difficulty was not high. For other girls learning to dance upstairs, they could get down easily in a few steps, but it was very difficult for Jiang Sui. Moreover, Chen Yu was too young, had a hot temper, and did not think carefully. It was easy to cause trouble if the cushion was removed like this. Chen Yu also looked over anxiously, wishing that the next moment Jiang Sui would be like other girls, as light as a little butterfly.
“But I……”
Chen Yu ran upstairs in a hurry, leaving Jiang Sui there, carefully watching the balance beam.
No, she knew she would definitely fall. It was okay if there was an anti-fall mat, as it won’t hurt if she fell, but now Chen Yu while trying to help her, had left her in a dilemma.
However, if she didn’t go down, she wouldn’t be able to go to class in the afternoon.
The tip of Jiang Sui’s small shoe stuck out and then retracted.
“Sister Chen Yu!”
There was no response from upstairs, and the sound of music could be faintly heard.
Chi Yan had no intention of coming in, but they were just messing around. He walked in and held out his arms to her.
Jiang Sui sat on the stage and looked at Chi Yan blankly.
She was wearing dancing shoes and her feet were still outside the beam.
The young man looked at her with a cold expression and frowned.
Jiang Sui shook her head: “No need.” She couldn’t understand why Chi Yan appeared here, which made her a little wary. She said seriously, “Does Duan Ling still want the cat? But the kitten is not here with me. It’s…dead.”
The corners of Chi Yan’s mouth twitched and he looked at her silently.
“Really.” Jiang Sui emphasized, “It’s dead.”
Even if Chi Yan wanted to please Duan Ling, couldn’t he find another way?
The little girl had bright peach blossom eyes, while in the past, she always smiled when she saw him, but this time she talked nonsense with a serious face.
He walked forward with a cold face. Jiang Sui didn’t know what he was going to do, and she was a little panicked. She kicked her legs wildly, trying to retract her hanging calves.
The pink shoe on her right foot accidentally kicked Chi Yan in the face. She was less than thirteen years old, and her feet were short and small, leaving a mark on his face.
The young man touched his cheek, pursed his lips and looked at her.
Jiang Sui was also stunned. She had never stepped on someone’s cheek before. She was so panicked and embarrassed that she was speechless for a long time.
He stretched out his hand to hold her calf. The girl’s calf was slender, but soft to the touch under his palm. He pulled out, and Jiang Sui screamed in fright: “Sister Chen Yu! Help!”
The little girl fell off the stage and fell into the boy’s arms.
Like a child, he protected her waist and back and lifted her off the beam.
Jiang Sui was so nervous that she grabbed his hair and Chi Yan frowned in pain.
He knelt down and put her on the ground without removing her hand.
The little girl’s response was really slow, and it took her a long time to let go of his short black hair, as if she was electrocuted.
Then the tips of her soft ears turned red.
Chi Yan looked at her and said, “I’m not that bad, and I’m not her dog.”
After he finished speaking, without looking at her reaction, he wiped the small shoe prints on his face in front of the dancing mirror, and then strode out.
Chen Yu came down from upstairs: “Did you just call us?” She looked at Jiang Sui standing on the ground intact in a daze and said in surprise: “Sui Sui! You are awesome, you are down! Look, I just told you that none of you should spoil her, my method was the most effective!”
The girls nodded in realization.
Jiang Sui: “…”
