Chapter 245 "Extra 2" She is the Chief

Jingzhi and Yuye are happily married.

The Central Ballet Company granted Li Zhi three days of wedding leave.

But Li Zhi did not rest.

She had taken a long leave for the romance variety show and had just returned to the troupe. She was chosen to star in her first play as the lead actress of the Jinsheng Dance Company - "Fairy".

Therefore, rehearsal is still a top priority for her.

The entire dance troupe received wedding candies from the two, even Qin Shuang, who had previously made Li Zhi feel bad, got some.

The news of Li Zhisheng's appointment as the lead actress was officially confirmed before their wedding, and was announced simultaneously on the dance troupe's official homepage and Weibo as a congratulatory message on her wedding day.

Fans all came to congratulate——

"Congratulations to Miss Zhizhi for being promoted to the top actress!"

"Great! Double happiness!"

"The National Ballet of China has finally seen through the situation this time! They are not trying to bury our Kyoto Little Swans again!"

"I heard that the first play in which Meijin Taeda will star as the lead actress will premiere on Christmas day!"

"Oh my god... I'm so excited! But it's going to be hard to get tickets!"

"Even if we don't talk about how popular Li Zhi is now, based on what Mr. Lou said on a dating variety show before, if you bring his wife's performance ticket stub, you can redeem it for a free meal at any restaurant under Lou's, everyone can't help but want to try it!!!"

"Ah! I'm going to buy a fascia gun to practice my hand speed!"

Li Zhi's starring dramas have attracted a lot of attention.

Not only were fans worried that their thumbs were too slow to buy tickets, but even the Qi family was anxious, fearing that they would not be able to see her performance.

Fortunately, Li Zhi kept them in her heart.

The troupe would reserve some internal ticket quotas for the leading actors in each performance, so Li Zhi specifically asked for a few more and brought them to them when she returned to Qiyuan for the weekend.

Lou Yanjing couldn't help feeling jealous.

He picked up Li Zhi and sat her on the sofa, then pressed her into his arms. He lowered his eyelids and looked at her unhappily: "Mrs. Lou, didn't you think of leaving a ticket for me?"

Li Zhi blinked her eyelashes and looked up at him.

There was a hint of innocence in her clear, watery eyes, and she was even a little surprised when she heard these words.

Lou Yanjing lowered his eyelids and observed her reaction.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't seem to want to coax him, he couldn't sit still anymore and frowned: "You really didn't keep it?"

Li Zhi just looked at him obediently without saying anything.

Lou Yanjing took a deep breath, as if to comfort himself, and was about to argue with his heartless wife with a light sigh.

But it was Li Zhi who took the initiative to hug his neck and kissed his cheek with her soft lips: "What are you thinking about? How could I not leave a ticket for you? I can forget anyone, but I can't forget you."

She winked mysteriously: "I have already secretly put the ticket in the pocket of the suit you will wear tomorrow."

I originally wanted him to discover it by accident tomorrow.

It was a surprise.

Who would have thought that he would be so restless.

Lou Yanjing, who had been gloomy just now, suddenly relaxed his brows and felt secretly happy: "Did you do it on purpose? You deliberately want to make me jealous."

He held Lizhi's waist, turned over and pressed her down on the sofa.

His eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes lowered to the tip of her nose: "Mrs. Lou, you seem to have gone astray again recently."

There was a sly smile in Li Zhi's eyes.

She took the initiative to hook her arms around Lou Yanjing's neck, raised her body and gently pecked him on the lips.

Lou Yanjing's dark eyes dimmed in an instant.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman under him, then simply picked her up and turned around and rushed upstairs.

Winter came early in Kyoto this year.

It didn't even take November for a few heavy rains to wash away the summer heat, and the temperature dropped sharply, as if winter had suddenly arrived.

Li Zhi's premiere date is set for Christmas.

The stage design plan had been finalized earlier and sent to the set design factory for intensive production.

Whenever Lou Yanjing is free, he will go to pick up Lizhi from get off work.

Several times, colleagues saw the Bugatti Sur Nuit parked outside the China Ballet Building and the man in a black coat with a stern aura, and they were all jealous and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The National Ballet of China has its own performance theatre.

The Central Ballet Theatre is just a few blocks away from the National Ballet of China building.

There are countless flower shops next door.

Whenever Lou Yanjing passed by, he would always bring a flower to Lizhi. Today it was a lychee rose, tomorrow it was a small orchid, the day after tomorrow it was an ice beauty lily, and the day after that it was a Dutch lisianthus.

Or hand it directly to her.

Or put it on the passenger seat and wait for her to take it herself.

Li Zhi was always in a good mood because of his coaxing. She gently pinched the oversized peony flower with her fingertips and turned her head to look at Lou Yanjing: "Classmate Lou Xiaojue."

Lou Yanjing, who had just put his wrist on the steering wheel, felt his fingertips soften in an instant when he heard her call her name.

He squinted his eyelashes to suppress his restless heart.

Turning to look at Li Zhi: "What?"

"Do you feel like you're digging a hole for yourself?" Li Zhi looked at him with her head tilted proudly.

White imported peonies were placed on her cheeks.

Her face, lightly blushed, looks even prettier than a flower.

Li Zhi said cheerfully, "If you send me flowers every day like this, I will be upset if you don't send me flowers one day. I might even suspect that you don't love me anymore."

Lou Yanjing said with a smile: "Okay, since Mrs. Lou has said so, I will definitely remember to send it every time in the future."

He turned the steering wheel absentmindedly.

After driving on the right track, Lou Yanjing turned to look at Li Zhi. His eyes were steady as he looked into hers: "Also, there is no need to doubt. There will never be a day when you stop loving me."

Li Zhi curled her lips and smiled sweetly.

She held the big white peony flower that Lou Yanjing gave her today against the window, took a photo of the night view with the lights just coming on outside the car window, and sent it to Weibo.

Qi Yuzhi v: "Today is Nancy's Peony Flower."

Fans were waiting in anticipation of the news.

After all, it has been more than a month, and almost every day at this time, Li Zhi posts on Weibo as if checking in.

yesterday.

Qi Yuzhi v: "Today is the Dutch lisianthus."

The day before yesterday.

Qi Yuzhi v: "Today is the Ice Beauty Lily."

The day before yesterday.

Qi Yuzhi v: "Today is Starletta Little Canglan."

…

Sharp comments in the comments section——

"Ok, flower science blogger."

"Every time I click in, I think I've gone to the wrong channel, if she hadn't also recognized the leading actress of the National Ballet of China."

"It's the first time I've seen the diversity of flowers here at the Bibibi Bibibi. These flowers are so rare! It's an eye-opener!"

"They must be gifts from the landlord to please his wife!"

"Ahhh this is too sweet! It's driving me crazy hahahahahahaha (turns into a monkey) (steals bananas from passers-by) (flies into the jungle) (swings around in the vines) (roars loudly)"

"I want to get tickets for the premiere of Fairy! I don't believe that the host won't go to see his wife perform! He will definitely send flowers, and I can enjoy the show right there!"

The fans were overjoyed.

I give a big thumbs up to the after-sales service of the couple Kyoe Tamae.

Even Fu Yanxia ran over screaming and sent WeChat messages to Li Zhi frantically: "Help! This bastard Lou Yanjing is too good! He sends you flowers every day? I surrender, I really surrender to him! Now I accept that he has snatched you away from me! For a stage actor, this is too lethal!"

Giving flowers to actors seems to be a ceremonial part of live performances.

Especially during the first and closing performances, the dancers often receive flowers or even more grand flower baskets from friends who come to support them.

But Fu Yanxia had never seen anyone like Lou Yanjing who gave gifts every day as a ceremonial gesture.

Even though she still threatened to stab him on the wedding day.

But in her daily life, she increasingly understood that there was a reason why her little Lizhi fell in love with this man.

[Fu Yanxia]: Hey, Xiao Lizhi, tell me, what kind of flowers will Lou Yanjing give you on the day of your premiere?

Li Zhi really likes Nancy Ruola's peony today.

The flower was bigger than her face. If Lou Yanjing hadn’t introduced it to her, she would have thought it was a peony or something.

She put the peonies in the vase.

The roots are soaked in nutrient solution in the vase.

Seeing Fu Yanxia asking on WeChat, Li Zhi tapped the glass vase, tilted his head to think for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "I don't know either."

The different flowers every day raised her expectations.

And she couldn't wait to start hoping that time would pass faster and Christmas would come early.

December 25th.

Christmas is here as promised.

Kyoto's central business district lit up Christmas lights, replicating the Angel Lights on London's Photography Street, with strings of lights lit up in the air.

The festive atmosphere at the Central Ballet Theatre is also strong.

After all, there is a performance tonight, and it is a Danish classic, "The Fairies", which belongs to the Western genre.

It is to welcome Christmas.

It is also to give the audience a stronger sense of immersion.

Li Zhi was putting on makeup backstage. Tonight was her first performance on stage after being promoted to the leading actress.

Staff members came in and out behind her.

Chatting——

"The theater is so beautifully decorated today!"

"Yes, I saw a lot of Christmas-themed things hanging outside the blackout curtain at the entrance."

"Many audience members came early this morning and took photos at the Christmas tree outside the theater."

"Many fans also sent flower baskets to Teacher Zhizhi!"

"You came in too early. You didn't see how exaggerated Mr. Lou and the Qi family were. The flower baskets almost filled up the corridor! The dance director was so worried that his head was buzzing. He had no choice but to have the flower baskets moved outside."

"Ahhh, this is too indulgent!"

The makeup artist couldn't help but look down at Li Zhi and smile: "Teacher Zhizhi, you are so lucky. Your husband and family love you so much."

"Is that so?" Li Zhi smiled softly, "But my family sent so many flower baskets over. It must be my childish second brother competing with my husband again."

The main goal is not to lose in any aspect.

When the staff around heard Li Zhi's comments, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking it was quite reasonable.

Li Zhi finished her makeup quickly.

All departments are in place.

The audience also checked their tickets and entered the venue one after another.

A ballet is not a concert, drama does not encourage fan clubs, and all cheering props are prohibited from being brought in.

Qi Jiashu originally wanted to hold up a sign for his sister.

But he was held back by his always steady elder brother Qi Yubai, and finally entered the venue obediently, honestly and quietly.

Lou Yanjing is located at row 1, number 1.

Judging from the position of the gifted tickets, her husband seems to have considerable influence in the eyes of the leading actor.

Qi Jiashu, who was sitting in the second row, was very dissatisfied.

After he sat down, he saw the silver hair in front of him shining brightly under the lights and kicked his chair in annoyance.

Lou Yanjing straightened up slightly with a dignified manner.

He tilted his head and glanced at Qi Jiashu with his peripheral vision, but ignored him with the magnanimity of a queen and turned his gaze away calmly.

The solemn and resounding field bell rang.

The lights are turned off.

The red subtitles at the top are lit.

The audience, who had just been noisily discussing which Lou's restaurant they would go to for Christmas after the show, involuntarily fell silent in this atmosphere.

The curtain opens and the performance officially begins.

Li Zhi, wearing a long snow-white ballet skirt, stepped on tiptoe gracefully and danced briskly onto the stage.

Dreamy lights are scattered on the stage.

The setting is full of temptation and seems dangerous, like a pink and purple daydream.

She is noble and proud, elegant and light.

She raised her slender white arms and stretched them outward, with her beautiful shoulders and neck standing just right. In the dreamy and romantic changes of light and shadow, the title of this dance drama really came true, and the dancing Li Zhi was given a beauty that was not of this world.

Big jump, spin.

She danced every move to perfection.

From the passionate display of love in the first act.

The charm and aesthetics she displayed when seducing James, who already had a fiancée.

To the death destruction in the second act.

The feeling of brokenness when the fairy's wings fell off touched the hearts of all the audience present.

The witch's scarf took the fairy's life.

James lost both his money and his life because of his greed. He listened to the ringing of the bells as his fiancée married another man and watched the fairy he was following fall to the ground and die slowly.
