Wan Qiu got the opportunity to attend extracurricular classes and learn ballroom dancing.
Wan Qiu suddenly became busy. He had to attend Jiang Chengfeng's classes from Monday to Friday, go to the dance studio on Saturdays and Sundays, and have psychological counseling with Yan Hua twice a week.
But, it's fulfilling.
Wan Qiu felt satisfied because he knew what he should do and what he could do.
Before going to the dance studio, Wan Qiu followed Yang Xiaoyu to visit the sponsored professional ballroom dance studio.
And for Wan Qiu, that experience was even more shocking than the time Chu Zhang took him to visit.
Yang Xiaoyu said that all the dancers here are professional dancers, and they will be sent to various places to participate in competitions.
Wan Qiu saw the beautiful little skirt drawing beautiful arcs in the air, as if outlining the most colorful flowers blooming in the picture frame.
Wanqiu likes such warm and blooming colors and vitality.
Yang Xiaoyu said that the male in ballroom dancing is the support, supporting the beautiful flowers to bloom freely.
Wan Qiu looked at his male self in the mirror and suddenly felt a sense of responsibility towards dancing.
After Wan Qiu was sent to the dance studio, he met his teacher.
She is an extremely beautiful woman.
Long limbs, upright figure, and beautiful neck.
Wan Qiu stood in the classroom, looking at classmates of the same age as him. Their graceful dance steps made Wan Qiu very envious.
What Wanqiu has to do is the most basic foundation.
Wan Qiu works very hard, and he is always persistent when it comes to things that require hard work.
Fortunately, Wan Qiu is in good physical condition.
Perhaps because of the physique he had trained since childhood, Wan Qiu was very persistent even though he was thin.
Basic training for several consecutive weeks and classes every day.
Wan Qiu is busy every day.
But for some reason, Wan Qiu didn't feel sad about being so busy.
He doesn't need to wait all the time, but take the initiative to do something.
One morning when Wan Qiu woke up and washed up, he looked at himself carefully in the mirror.
My brother said, take a closer look at yourself.
Wan Qiu turned sideways and looked at himself in the mirror.
Did he secretly grow taller?
Or was it because he had been secretly lowering his head and straightening his bent back?
But he seems to be more energetic. Is this the result of learning that Chu Zhang mentioned?
Wan Qiu is a boy, and he stands out in the ballroom dance classroom where there are more girls.
Wan Qiu rarely spoke and always focused on practicing with his teacher.
Wan Qiu would occasionally receive curious looks from girls.
Looking at his own body shape which was completely different from the girls' in the dance costume, Wan Qiu seemed to have realized something vaguely.
There seems to be a difference between boys and girls.
Wan Qiu had a dance partner for the first time. When holding the girl's hand, Wan Qiu discovered that his hands were actually bigger than the girl's.
Girls are soft, just like their mothers.
And among all people, the one who was closest to Wan Qiu was a girl.
The girl's name is Zhou Peiyu.
Perhaps it was because Zhou Peiyu would be Wan Qiu's dance partner every time, Wan Qiu would be closer to this girl than to others.
She is fourteen years old, the same height as Wan Qiu, and has been a very good student since childhood.
But Wan Qiu seems to be thinner than Zhou Peiyu.
In Wan Qiu's eyes, Zhou Peiyu is very beautiful, even though Zhou Peiyu always tells him that she is fatter than others and wants to lose weight.
Even though Wan Qiu told Zhou Peiyu that she was very beautiful, Zhou Peiyu didn't quite believe it.
Zhou Peiyu was Wan Qiu's first female friend and also his first dance partner.
Wan Qiu unconsciously would always visit Zhou Peiyu more often.
Zhou Peiyu has long hair, which always falls down after she ties it into a ponytail. It is very long and looks very heavy.
Zhou Peiyu also has a good relationship with other classmates. She likes to talk and laugh.
Zhou Peiyu was always scolded by the teacher when she danced, and was discovered by Wan Qiu when she was crying secretly.
Wan Qiu looked at Zhou Peiyu crying and was at a loss as to what to do.
But after Zhou Peiyu finished crying, she was still the same, as if she was not affected at all.
Wan Qiu looked at her and thought that this girl was particularly bright.
Wan Qiu had Zhou Peiyu's contact information, and they would occasionally communicate by sending messages on their mobile phones.
Wan Qiu can do it too. Ever since being taught by his elder brother, Wan Qiu has learned to reply to messages.
Wan Qiu told Yan Hua about Zhou Peiyu.
Yan Hua just listened with a smile and gave Wan Qiu some advice on making friends.
"Who are the people who come with you every time?" Zhou Peiyu was curious about why Wan Qiu always followed him to class.
"Today is the second brother." During the break, Wan Qiu sat in the dance classroom and chatted with Zhou Peiyu.
"Who was it yesterday?"
"It's mom."
Zhou Peiyu tilted his head: "What about last week?"
"It's my younger brother, and Uncle Bai." Every time Wan Qiu went out, he would be followed by someone.
"Why do your family members always follow you to class? You are so old and you still want your parents to follow you? I hate my parents controlling me."
Zhou Peiyu’s words made Wan Qiu think for a long time.
After every dance class, Wan Qiu sat in the passenger seat and asked Yang Ze, "Second brother, am I too old?"
Yang Ze calmly replied: "Wan Qiu is not young anymore."
"Then can't you guys take care of it?" Wan Qiu asked.
Yang Ze was stunned when he heard it, and slowly stopped the car on the side of the road and asked, "Did your classmate tell you that?"
Wan Qiu nodded: "Zhou Peiyu said so."
"Hmm." Yang Ze covered his face slightly, thinking about what to say. It was indeed inappropriate for a fifteen-year-old boy to be surrounded by his family all the time.
Yang Ze also knew about these minor problems in their family, and they could not feel at ease unless Wan Qiu was surrounded by reliable people.
"The situation in every family is different, so we can't generalize," said Yang Ze.
Wan Qiu asked, "Isn't what Zhou Peiyu said wrong?"
Yang Ze thought about it and said, "She is right, but... Second Brother follows you because he wants to accompany you."
Wan Qiu nodded to show that he understood.
Yang Ze knew that the relationship between Wan Qiu and Zhou Peiyu was gradually improving, or rather, everyone in the Chu family knew it.
Thinking of the things Zhou Peiyu would occasionally say to Wan Qiu that Wan Qiu didn't understand always gave them a headache.
For example, last time Zhou Peiyu asked why Wan Qiu asked others to help him put on his clothes.
For example, Zhou Peiyu asked why the teacher always praised Wan Qiu even though he was not doing well.
Almost all of these directly exposed their little selfish motives towards Wan Qiu.
I don't want Wanqiu to think this is strange, but I also don't want to distort Wanqiu's normal concept.
Wan Qiu asked his eldest brother on the phone, but the message he replied was the same as what Zhou Peiyu said.
——Not normal, of course not normal, you are already 15 years old, are they treating you like you are 5 years old? You are already a mature teenager, you should learn to ask your girlfriend out to play by yourself!!! Ask her out!!! Ask Zhou Peiyu out!!!
Wan Qiu didn't understand why he had to make an appointment with Zhou Peiyu.
What does this have to do with not letting mom and dad follow?
Wan Qiu was able to keep up with the progress in dancing because everyone in the Chu family knew how to do it, and Yang Xiaoyu was the best among them.
Wan Qiu practiced dancing at home, most of the time with Yang Xiaoyu.
Every time I dance with Yang Xiaoyu, Yang Xiaoyu will wear an extremely beautiful dress.
The gorgeous skirt, the long sleeves that shone with star-like light and wrapped around the slender arms, and the hair tied up high, all of these were beautiful in Wanqiu's eyes.
When Wan Qiu looked at Yang Xiaoyu who was wearing a beautiful dress and saw the hem of her dress curved beautifully due to his guidance, he felt a subtle and happy feeling in his heart.
Will Zhou Peiyu look as good as her mother if she wears a skirt?
Faintly, Wan Qiu's gender consciousness, which he had never paid attention to before, was stirring.
The dance steps for men and women are different, the clothes for boys and girls are different, and different genders are different.
But it was after this that Jiang Chengfeng discovered Wan Qiu's concern and gave Wan Qiu his first physiology and hygiene lesson.
Wan Qiu seemed to understand what he heard, but not quite.
It seems like I understand, but it also seems like I don’t understand.
It seems like it can be applied to life, but it also seems like it can’t.
After that, Wanqiu had final exams and winter vacation.
Wan Qiu's final exam results were better than his midterm exam results, and he was praised by Yang Xiaoyu, which made him very happy.
Wan Qiu shared with Zhou Peiyu the fact that he had obtained a high score in the final exam.
Zhou Peiyu sent a message: Which middle school are you in? What's your ranking?
Wan Qiu: I take classes at home.
Zhou Peiyu: Don’t you go to school?
Wan Qiu: I was taught by a tutor.
Zhou Peiyu: Is that so amazing? Is your family very rich?
Wan Qiu thought about the several pieces of money he had placed under the bed and replied: Yes.
Zhou Peiyu: Are you on winter vacation then?
Wan Qiu: Let go.
Zhou Peiyu: I'm on vacation too. I've finished my exams and my grades are pretty good. Do you want to come out and celebrate the holiday?
Wan Qiu was stunned.
Zhou Peiyu: I also called other classmates to join us, it was more lively with more people.
Zhou Peiyu: Are you coming?
Zhou Peiyu: Where are the people?
Wan Qiu held the phone, at a loss.
Wan Qiu wanted to reply to Zhou Peiyu, but his mind went blank.
He got an invitation from a friend to hang out.
This is an invitation from a friend in Wan Qiu's life to go out and play.
Can he go?
Wan Qiu: I don’t know.
Zhou Peiyu: What’s there to not know? Don’t your parents let you go out during the holidays?
Zhou Peiyu: Just go and ask.
Wan Qiu held his cell phone and wanted to find other people, but they had not returned from get off work yet, so Wan Qiu knocked on Chu Yigui's door.
Chu Yigui also had a holiday, and Jiang Chengfeng deliberately arranged for Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui to take the exam on the same day and have a holiday on the same day.
"Brother?" When Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu, Wan Qiu was excited because of the invitation from his friends.
Wan Qiu hugged the phone.
He carefully opened the phone and showed it to Chu Yigui.
Behind the phone, Wan Qiu's eyes were flickering with anticipation, like the stars in the middle of the night, illuminating the darkness.
Chu Yigui operated Wan Qiu's mobile phone and saw the cause and effect clearly.
Chu Yigui smiled: "Brother, are you here to ask if I can go out and play with my friends?"
Wan Qiu nodded.
"Well, why not?" Chu Yigui said to Wan Qiu affirmatively, "Of course you can go."
Wan Qiu, who received affirmation, felt as if all the stars in his expectations were pouring out and turning into joy.
"Well, you need to tell Mom and Dad first, let them know where you're going, and then discuss with Butler Bai which day you want to use the car. It would be best if you know when you'll be back."
Chu Yigui pushed Wan Qiu's phone back, thought for a moment, and added.
"Bring some extra money with you. You might need it. It's also important to treat your friends to food. You can't always ask others to pay."
"If you don't understand, just keep silent. You don't need to answer all the questions."
Wan Qiu listened, but his eyes were still fixed on Chu Yigui.
From anticipation, to impatience, to confusion.
Chu Yigui stopped talking and waited for Wan Qiu to speak.
Wan Qiu held the phone in both hands and asked, "Aren't you going?"
Chu Yigui was stunned: "Of course I won't go, this is your friend, brother."
"But my brother is my friend." In Wan Qiu's opinion, if friends go out to play together, shouldn't everyone be left behind?
"A friend of a friend is not necessarily a friend."
Chu Yigui’s words were a bit confusing for Wan Qiu, but he also knew that Chu Yigui was refusing.
Chu Yigui said: "I can't go, your friends didn't invite me."
Wan Qiu didn't quite understand.
But looking at Chu Yigui, Wan Qiu suddenly felt that Chu Yigui was very cold when he refused.
Although the house was warm in winter, it seemed as if a cold wind was blowing through the gaps in the window and sneaking in.
Wan Qiu returned to his room and replied to Zhou Peiyu.
Wan Qiu: I can go.
Zhou Peiyu: Okay, I’ll send you the location at 12 o’clock the day after tomorrow, don’t be late.
Wan Qiu held the cell phone.
Chu Yigui’s words kept echoing in his mind.
Wan Qiu: Can I take my brother with me?
Zhou Peiyu: Your brother? The brother who was waiting for you at the door?
Wan Qiu: Yeah.
Zhou Peiyu: Okay, of course! He must come, and I will invite more of my sisters.
Wan Qiu looked at Zhou Peiyu's message and seemed to see the overflowing joy on the screen.
Wan Qiu blinked and dismissed this strange thought.
How can we tell from the text that Zhou Peiyu is very happy?
Wan Qiu knocked on Chu Yigui's door again.
Chu Yigui stood in front of him, and this time, Wan Qiu once again opened his cell phone in front of Chu Yigui.
After seeing this, Chu Yigui did not smile at Wan Qiu as he did in the past.
"Brother, why do you have to take me with you? You're obviously looking forward to going out with your friends for the first time, right?" Chu Yigui asked.
Wan Qiu held the phone and looked up at the other person secretly.
Are you unhappy?
It seems not.
Wan Qiu didn't know how to answer this question.
It's not conscious, it's just subconscious.
Because it is a happy thing.
Wan Qiu also hopes that Chu Yigui can have something happy.
After a long time, Chu Yigui sighed.
"Thank you, brother." The smile returned to that handsome face. Wan Qiu saw Chu Yigui smiling, "I will go with brother."
Wan Qiu was not very happy.
He still couldn't see Chu Yigui's happiness.
Even though Wan Qiu always hoped to infect Chu Yigui with happiness when he was happy, he always seemed to fail.
And Chu Yigui seemed to have noticed it.
To Wan Qiu.
"I'm looking forward to it, brother." Chu Yigui tapped Wan Qiu's head, and Wan Qiu subconsciously closed his eyes.
And when Wan Qiu closed his eyes, he heard Chu Yigui's laughter.
It seemed as if Chu Yigui was really happy.
Wan Qiu was sitting at the door. Because of his little habit, Butler Bai simply placed a small stool at the door for Wan Qiu to wait for people to come home.
The first one to come back was Yang Ze. Yang Ze brought back a gift again today. It was a pair of thick gloves. It was very cute. There were two little rabbits hanging on the back of the gloves, which looked very cute.
In the warm room, Wan Qiu put on bunny gloves and said to Yang Ze, "Second brother."
"Hmm?" Yang Ze looked at Wan Qiu wearing gloves with a very soft expression.
"My friend invited me out today."
Wan Qiu didn't know whether he was asking for advice or sharing his joy with others.
Yang Ze was stunned and thought of the outgoing and lively girl.
Wanqiu's little expectations are like the winter sunshine shining on the intact snow, reflecting a little fluorescence.
Yang Ze smiled at Wan Qiu and said, "That's great. Wan Qiu is going out to play too. What time is it? Do you want my second brother to take you there?"
"The day after tomorrow." Wan Qiu said, blinking.
"The weather is cold, you should wear more clothes. I will tell the housekeeper to match you with a set of clothes for going out."
Yang Ze reached out and ruffled Wan Qiu's hair.
It was rare that Wan Qiu finally found a friend in the class after attending so many extracurricular classes.
He is very happy too.
Yang Ze no longer remembers whether he was looking forward to meeting his friends at the beginning.
But looking at Wan Qiu, those emotions from his younger years seemed to reappear.
Yang Ze walked in and saw Wan Qiu sitting on the chair staring at the door, and couldn't help laughing.
Butler Bai also smiled at Yang Ze and said, "I hope the gentleman and the lady can come back earlier today."
Yang nodded.
"It's great to be young." Butler Bai also sighed secretly.
Yang Ze raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Bai, you are not that old."
"Second Young Master, what you mean is that I'm old?" Butler Bai's words made Yang Ze look embarrassed, and the embarrassment made him look even more serious. Butler Bai was overjoyed.
Yang Ze touched his nose and felt that Butler Bai seemed to like teasing them more and more.
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu came back together.
The first thing the two people saw when they entered the door was Wan Qiu wearing rabbit gloves.
"Baby, mommy is back." Yang Xiaoyu bent down immediately, and Wan Qiu got down from the chair familiarly and hugged Yang Xiaoyu.
Wan Qiu could still smell the scent of wind and snow on Yang Xiaoyu's body, which was a little chilly. It was snowing outside again.
"Mom and Dad." After being released by Yang Xiaoyu, Wan Qiu took the initiative to say, "My friend invited me to go out and play."
Yang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow: "Zhou Peiyu?"
Wan Qiu nodded.
Yang Xiaoyu had a deep impression of Zhou Peiyu.
Wan Qiu's dance studio is not a dance studio under her name, so she chose a more famous place with more students, which was recommended by Chu Zhang.
There are more female students than male students learning ballroom dancing, but Wan Qiu's personality and psychological problems make him somewhat out of tune with the people around him.
Because of Wan Qiu's silence, his problems were not exposed, but it was also difficult to make friends directly.
Zhou Peiyu was the first one. Because of her cheerful personality, she was chosen as Wan Qiu's dance partner, and because of this, their relationship gradually became better.
"When are we leaving?" Chu Jianshu handed his coat to Butler Bai and asked Wan Qiu directly.
"The day after tomorrow." Wan Qiu replied.
"What time?" Chu Jianshu asked straightforwardly.
Wan Qiu shook his head and said that the time had not been decided yet and he would notify them later.
"Where is the location?"
Wan Qiu still shook his head.
"Remember to come to me when you're sure. I'll give you some pocket money." Chu Jianshu expressed his support for Wan Qiu's behavior of making friends.
"We have to find someone to follow us." Yang Xiaoyu said. If it was the day after tomorrow, she could put off work and follow us, but Wan Qiu was very sensitive about her. Although she didn't want to leave Wan Qiu alone, she also didn't want to ruin Wan Qiu's date.
It would be awkward to have parents present at a gathering with friends.
What's more, Yang Xiaoyu couldn't bear to see Wan Qiu looking happy and expectant at a glance.
Chu Jianshu frowned and said to Yang Xiaoyu: "After all, it's a children's activity..."
Wan Qiu said, "My brother will go with me."
Chu Jianshu was stunned.
Yang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Why does Yigui want to go with us?"
"Brother is also a friend." Wan Qiu said.
Isn't this what hanging out with friends is supposed to be like?
Why do mom and dad behave differently?
"If Yigui follows..." Yang Xiaoyu still trusts Chu Yigui very much, "then there should be no problem."
Chu Jianshu didn't know why, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you chosen what to wear?" Yang Xiaoyu immediately took Wan Qiu's hand and went straight to Wan Qiu's closet.
Chu Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Xiaoyu's back.
Wan Qiu is gradually becoming cheerful.
In other words, after he had tested his position in the family, he was willing to let go of his own personality.
Yang Xiaoyu was also more or less affected. At least now he is not as reluctant to let Wan Qiu go out as before.
Friends.
Wan Qiu also made friends.
Chu Jianshu had most of his child’s social circles in his mind, and he also wrote Zhou Peiyu’s name in Wan Qiu’s circle of friends.
Wan Qiu lay quietly on the warm bed in his bedroom with the lights off.
I'm going to go out and play with my friends tomorrow.
Those things that belonged only to others in memory now belong to oneself.
What do you do when you go out with friends?
Although he asked Zhou Peiyu, she said she had already booked the trip and told him not to worry about it.
Wan Qiu had an image of Zhou Peiyu's appearance in his mind.
It was as if he could see the cheerful girl standing in front of him if he closed his eyes.
Suddenly a message came from his cell phone, and Wan Qiu turned around to look at the light of the phone in the dark.
Wan Qiu took the phone under the quilt and opened it.
It’s news from Chu Zhang.
Chu Zhang: I’m going out with my friends tomorrow. Are you too nervous to sleep?
Wan Qiu held the phone, not knowing how to reply.
Wan Qiu didn't know if he couldn't sleep because he was too nervous, but at least it was true that he hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Chu Zhang: Remember to send me some photos of you going out tomorrow! I really need the lovely Wan Qiu to send me some photos to keep me alive!
Whenever Wan Qiu needed to do something, he would think of sending a message to Chu Zhang, even though Chu Zhang replied very slowly, usually only once every few hours.
Wan Qiu: Yeah.
Chu Zhang: I knew you didn’t sleep.
Chu Zhang: Will there be a lot of people tomorrow?
Wan Qiu counted and said: Nine.
Chu Zhang: Oh, there are small groups in the same classroom.
Chu Zhang: Are all these people girls?
Chu Zhang: Does Wan Qiu know how to treat girls?
Chu Zhang: Do you want me to teach you how to be nice to girls?
Chu Zhang sent many messages in succession, but Wan Qiu did not reply.
Wan Qiu’s always regular biological clock prevented him from holding on for long, and he fell asleep in bed.
His cell phone was always lit with messages from Chu Zhang.
Chu Zhang: Wanqiu should have a good sleep.
Chu Zhang: I hope tomorrow will be a happy day for Wanqiu.
Chu Zhang: Good night.
