——
The scorching heat that pressed against her in the rain that night seemed to still be branded on her skin, causing Wen Duo to shiver all over whenever she thought of it.
The warmth of Ji Huaishen's arms, the rise and fall of his chest, and the dangerous heat...these images lingered in her mind, and whenever she thought of them, the tips of her ears would become hot uncontrollably.
"Madam, breakfast is ready." The housekeeper's voice came from outside the door. Wen Duo suddenly woke up from her memories and looked at the wall clock - nine forty-five.
"Has the master gone to the company yet?" she asked the housekeeper in a low voice through the door.
"Yes, sir, he left home at half past seven."
The butler replied respectfully, "The master specifically asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite blueberry muffins."
Wen Duo breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt inexplicably lost.
It has been the seventh day. Ever since that stormy night, she felt very embarrassed whenever she thought about it, so she used various excuses to avoid meeting Ji Huaishen.
In the morning, she deliberately slept until noon and only dared to leave the bedroom after Ji Huaishen went to the company.
He always said he had no appetite during dinner and asked the servants to bring the food to his room.
She even had to tiptoe when leaving the bedroom, for fear that the wooden floor would make a sound and alarm the man.
Ji Huaishen didn't say anything and didn't ask. Wen Duo even suspected that Ji Huaishen had never looked forward to going to the island together.
What's more, she even had some doubts about Ji Huaishen's feelings for her. Was he really as fond of her as the comments said?
"Madam, would you like to eat now?" The butler's voice brought Wen Duo back to her senses.
"Hmm? Yeah, I'll come down now."
After Wen Duo responded, she opened the door and went downstairs directly.
[The girl has been hiding for a whole week! The hero is almost like a wife-starving man!]
[Hilarious, the male protagonist goes out early and comes back late every day just to leave space for his wife]
[He obviously loves it! Why doesn't he just go ahead and give it an A!]
【Because I love it so much, I didn’t give it an A. 】
[That’s right, if the girl is willing to take the initiative, the male protagonist will approach her, but if she hates him, he will stand far away, silently waiting for her next favor.]
【What the above said is good! 】
Wen Duo's cheeks turned red from the comments.
She did notice that Ji Huaishen went out early and came back late during this period, but she didn't expect that he was deliberately avoiding her.
What surprised her even more was that she learned from the barrage that Ji Huaishen did not indifferent, but wanted to give her space to be free.
If she was willing to take the initiative, he would approach her, but if she disliked him, he would stand at a distance, silently waiting for her next favor. This comment was like a fine needle, gently piercing Wen Duo's heart, causing a sour feeling of guilt to rise.
It turned out that he understood everything and knew everything, but he chose to respect.
He...is really nice.
This passionate love makes her feel guilty...
"No, you feel guilty about this? Didn't I tell you not to embarrass yourself because of him?"
Jiang Zuiyue was browsing his phone and said without looking up:
"Besides, he's been able to endure for almost a year, so this little bit of time won't be a big deal."
Wenduo leaned on her little face, holding a straw in her hand, and unconsciously drew circles in the lemonade:
“That does make sense, but…”
"Duoduo!" Jiang Zuiyue suddenly screamed and pushed the phone in front of her, "Look at this!"
A dance video is playing on the screen.
The dancer in a white ballet skirt twisted her body in front of the camera, with heavy makeup and occasional winks.
Although the background music was based on "Swan Lake", it was changed beyond recognition, with explicit lyrics and movements, completely losing the elegance of ballet.
"As far as I remember... ballet isn't danced like this," Wen Duo asked uncertainly.
Although she hadn't paid attention to ballet for a year, the basic skills and aesthetic standards that were engraved in her bones were still vivid in her body memory, but the video in front of her made her feel uncomfortable.
"Bullshit, is this even worthy of being called ballet?"
Jiang Zuiyue snorted coldly, "I understand how hard it is to make a living, but disrespecting dance for the sake of traffic is really too much!"
Wen Duo nodded, a pang of pain rising in her chest.
She was a ballet dancer and knew how much sweat and persistence were required behind every movement.
Seeing the once sacred art being so desecrated was like a knife stabbing her in the heart.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Wen Duo's cell phone suddenly rang, and the three words "Teacher Zhou" on the caller ID made her fingers tremble slightly.
Zhou Wanqing, a ballet educator, was once her most respected mentor.
She is not only a ballet educator, but also a principal dancer and a master choreographer. Her work "Moonlight Swan" has won many awards.
However, because my parents said that wealthy families care about face the most, just in case, it is best not to show up in public after the wedding, which annoyed Mr. Ji.
So she eventually left and stopped dancing ballet.
Although Teacher Zhou felt it was a pity, he still respected her choice.
When Jiang Zuiyue saw Wen Duo was about to answer the phone, he immediately turned his phone to silent mode.
After all, this inferior ballet cannot be heard by this strict teacher.
Wen Duo took a deep breath before pressing the answer button:
"teacher?"
"Duoduo, are you free recently?" A cautious voice came from the other end of the phone, completely different from the stern and powerful voice in memory.
"Teacher, what happened?" Wen Duo's heart was lifted.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Zhou Wanqing spoke with difficulty.
It turns out that since the internet celebrity ballet became popular, many students have turned to the Internet to dance this vulgar adapted dance, and many have even gone to learn this internet celebrity ballet specifically.
Zhou Wanqing publicly criticized this trend, but the other party took advantage of the popularity and directly issued a declaration of war to her.
If they lose, they will have to transfer the copyright of "Moonlight Swan" free of charge.
If she wins, their network will publicly admit its mistakes and return to orthodox teaching.
"Duoduo, you are my best student. Only you can fully interpret the "Moonlight Swan" I created." Zhou Wanqing's voice was choked with sobs.
After hearing this, Wen Duo was silent for a while and then spoke:
"Teacher, I need to think about this matter and give you an answer later."
Zhou Wanqing expressed her understanding and hung up the phone.
Jiang Zuiyue keenly sensed something was wrong:
"What's wrong?"
Wen Duo repeated the story, and Jiang Zuiyue immediately spoke:
"Of course we'll compete! This kind of internet celebrity ballet is problematic in the first place!"
"But I'm married, and as Mrs. Ji, I can't show up in public casually." Wen Duo whispered.
"He made that rule?" Jiang Zuiyue sneered, "He likes you so much, I don't believe he would restrict the hobbies and dreams you've always pursued."
Wen Duo remained silent.
What she didn't tell Jiang Zuiyue was that she might be allergic to ballet costumes, which was the real reason why she gave up dancing.
Every time I wear a ballet costume, I get red spots on my body the next day.
She thought it was a problem with her dance costume, but no matter which costume she changed or bought a new one, she would have an allergic reaction.
She wanted to treat the disease, but the doctor told her that it was incurable, just like her skin hunger.
How can she participate in the competition if she can't wear ballet clothes?
