As soon as Liu Tao returned from the practice room, she learned the news that Su Niannian was transferred to the choreography team. The news was spreading in the troupe, saying that Su Niannian was promoted to deputy captain of the choreography team. Some were happy while others were worried. It is not an exaggeration to say that this operation was like killing the donkey after it has done its work.
When Su Niannian packed her things and came out of the dance team's dormitory, someone kept asking, "Niannian, were you really beaten? Otherwise, why did you ask for leave?"
Su Niannian's expression remained unchanged throughout the whole process: "Because of getting married."
"What? Getting married?!"
"Yes, I took some time off to go back to my hometown and get married. You don't have to pay too much attention to me in the future. I'm married and won't pose any threat to you."
The air fell into dead silence for a moment.
Choosing to get married at this critical moment, isn't that just courting death? It would ruin all your future. No wonder Deputy Director Zhang sent Su Niannian to the choreography team.
The choreography team is deserted, and it is common for them to not produce any works for three to five months. This is completely different from the lively dance team who are on long business trips. At this moment, Su Niannian feels like she has been banished to the cold palace and her future is ruined.
As good friends, Liao Yu and Liu Tao immediately became anxious.
"Don't pack your things yet. I'm going to discuss this with the deputy director right now. Even if you made a mistake this time, it was a minor one. Your efforts are seen by everyone, Nian Nian. The dance team is your final destination. You are destined to shine here. You can't fail. I'm going to talk to the deputy director right now!"
"Yes, Nian Nian, no matter how serious the injury is, there will be a day of recovery. Just hold on." In public, Liu Tao didn't dare to say it too bluntly and could only advise her friend secretly.
Unexpectedly, Su Niannian declined everyone's attempts to stay and help. Su Jianshan, who was waiting outside the door, helped her carry her luggage and left the dance team without looking back.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone said sourly: "Look, even if she is married, it doesn't affect her ability to attract men. Why do you have to worry about such a person? Since Deputy Captain Zhang dealt with her, it means that Su Niannian was also wrong in the incident in the provincial capital. She is not as innocent as you think. Everyone has some selfish motives. I guess she..."
"Shut up!" Liao Yu, who always has a good temper, smashed the empty lunch box heavily on the ground and glared at those members of the second team who said sour words.
"I know some of you are unhappy about not being chosen to go to the provincial capital, but if Su Niannian wasn't there, could you replace the team and go to the provincial capital? As members of the same art troupe, I hope you can be united and friendly, instead of being ignored. With this mentality, you will only fall to your death even if you climb high!"
Liao Yu left angrily, and even Liu Tao looked unhappy. She glared at He Bi and others who were causing trouble.
…
Jiang Xiaofei usually lived in the staff quarters. It was already evening when she learned about Su Niannian. Jiang Xiaofei, who was always impetuous, had no worries and immediately found Deputy Director Zhang to ask him about it. When she learned that it was Su Niannian's idea to join the choreography team, she felt complicated.
He turned around and went to the choreography team's dormitory to look for Su Niannian. At that time, Su Niannian was still cleaning the dust in the cupboard. There were few people in the choreography team, with only three people living in the dormitory. Many things were covered with a thick layer of dust. Obviously, the other two were missing.
When Jiang Xiaofei came to call for help, Su Niannian was completely confused. She followed the other party to an open area in the yard, and was bombarded with questions from Jiang Xiaofei.
Maybe it was the feeling of mutual admiration that was at work.
Su Niannian chose to confess: "Because I'm pregnant."
Jiang Xiaofei swallowed to ease the dryness in her mouth: "I know, but then... wait?! You mean the child is still..."
"Um."
After receiving Su Niannian's affirmative reply, Jiang Xiaofei slapped herself in a hurry: "That day! The female doctor clearly said that you had a miscarriage, so I told Gu Zhiye... about you. He wouldn't be unaware of the existence of this child, right?!"
Gu Zhiye left decisively and tried every means to keep Su Niannian in Ning County. Jiang Xiaofei almost suffocated when she thought of this fact.
Su Niannian seemed to find it funny as well, and she looked into the distance.
After a while, he said, "This is my child."
"..."
"Oh, are you planning to piss off Gu Zhiye to death? And then inherit his family compound?" Jiang Xiaofei couldn't help but grit her teeth. She narrowed her eyes slightly and even thought about how to inform Gu Zhiye of the good news. But the next second, Su Niannian's words dispelled all her thoughts.
"I don't have that idea, Comrade Jiang Xiaofei, I hope you can keep it a secret. Divorce may not be far away, and you have plenty of opportunities to get Gu Zhiye."
Jiang Xiaofei was overwhelmed: "But he likes you."
"It's not me."
Su Niannian emphasized again: "The person he likes is not me. If Xiao Zhang hadn't let it slip, I might never have known about the pocket watch. He respected all my ideas, whether it was not going to the family compound or not going to Nanhai. From the beginning to the end, he never thought of being with me."
Jiang Xiaofei realized belatedly: "Indeed, he has a very precious pocket watch."
"Five or six years."
"It's extremely rare."
Su Niannian was startled, then smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me these things. You'll scare the baby in my belly..."
Ask yourself, if this kind of thing happened to Jiang Xiaofei, she would definitely make a big fuss and would never let the man have an easy time. But Su Niannian is different. She is always gentle and has a strong character in her bones. For the sake of her children, she can resolutely give up her career in the dance team and join a choreography team with nothing. Jiang Xiaofei was moved again and began to feel sorry for her.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly patted Su Niannian's shoulder and said, "As long as your marriage exists, I will not have any intentions towards him. From today on, Su Niannian, you are my key protected person. As long as I am in the art troupe, I will not let anyone bully you. The baby in your belly may even call me mom in the future..."
"..."
The more she talked, the more outrageous she became. Su Niannian was too lazy to pay attention to her nonsense and said calmly, "Apart from you, who else can walk sideways in this art troupe?"
Jiang Xiaofei's smile faded slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural.
"Well...well, that psychopath in the choreography team!"
