Fu Jingsheng wasn't as easy to talk to as Rong Yan. Apart from the few dads he danced belly dance with, he didn't add anyone else, only leaving their phone numbers.
The man sat among the parents, looking unapproachable, a stark contrast to his relaxed and composed demeanor on stage just moments before.
The grandparents' program was saved for last.
Everyone showed off their skills, but the most popular activities were square dancing and Tai Chi.
Lao Deng and Han Yue's unique performance has once again become a hot topic.
Everyone admires this family immensely. No wonder Fu Yunlei and his friends have their own special skills at such a young age and have won awards in national competitions.
Like father, like son.
Children from families like that are bound to be bad.
After watching the parents' performance, everyone stopped comparing their children to Fu Yunlei and his team, because they themselves had lost to Fu Yunlei's parents.
The teacher gave a concluding speech, thanked all the parents of the senior class, and finally everyone took a group photo.
The family-wide event concluded successfully, and Han Yue said they had to celebrate, so she would treat everyone to dinner that evening.
After obtaining her mother-in-law's consent, Rong Yan called Shen Xingzhi and the others over.
To make things convenient for Shen Xingzhi, they chose a restaurant near her home.
Shen Xingzhi was busy at the clinic all afternoon and didn't have time to watch the school's performance, so she didn't know that Rong Yan's family had become a hot topic.
When they arrived at the hotel, several people still had their makeup on.
"Wow! Fu Jingsheng's eye makeup is pretty good," Shen Xingzhi said. "Aren't you a belly dancer? Why are you wearing panda makeup?"
After the event, Fu Jingsheng washed his face several times, but he couldn't get his eye makeup off. What could he do? He wanted to go back first, but everyone said they were hungry.
So I had to come here with dark circles under my eyes.
"He smudged his eyeliner, don't laugh, or he'll get angry," Rong Yan whispered to her best friend.
"It's quite good," Shen Xingzhi said, though she didn't mean it.
"Auntie's makeup makes her look so young today," Shen Xingzhi changed the subject.
"I think so too, we should draw like this from now on," Han Yue said narcissistically.
"Aunt Xingzhi, would you like to watch our program?" Rong Shimo asked, seeking praise.
"Oh right, I'll take a look. I've been busy all afternoon," Shen Xingzhi suddenly remembered.
Before two minutes had even passed, Shen Xingzhi was already laughing out loud.
Yu Wenhao quickly took the woman's phone away: "Xingzhi, you can't be so agitated."
He watched his wife's swaying belly, fearing that something might happen to the baby.
Shen Xingzhi clutched her stomach: "That swan was hilarious! Everyone was just doing their own thing."
"Didn't you see Daddy? Daddy's belly dance was beautiful too." At school, everyone's attention was on Swan Lake, so how come even Aunt Xingzhi didn't notice Daddy's dance? Is Daddy so unremarkable?
"I haven't seen it yet. The number one most popular show is Swan. Wenhao, give me your phone," Shen Xingzhi said, reaching out her hand.
"It's okay, why are you so nervous?" The woman thought Yu Wenhao was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Before returning the phone, Yu Wenhao said, "Okay, then be careful."
Shen Xingzhi dared not look at the swans anymore, so she turned off the video and scrolled down.
When it came to Fu Jingsheng's belly dance, she laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Han Yue was worried.
"Stop looking," Han Yue said.
Shen Xingzhi laughed until she couldn't breathe. She put down her phone, realizing she really couldn't watch anymore. After a while, she started commenting: "The parents are all very enthusiastic, but has the kindergarten really gotten this chaotic?"
She glanced at Yu Wenhao, her face showing worry.
"We'll be parents too in the future. What are we going to do if Wenhao and I don't have any talents?" Shen Xingzhi worried.
"Things will work themselves out." Rong Yan comforted her best friend, seeing what she was thinking. "Look at me, someone who's completely uncoordinated and even runs with the same hand and foot moving in unison, but I still managed to complete a solo dance. Human potential is limitless, and besides, I learned quickly. If you feel like you don't have any talents, after your baby is born, enroll in an arts class and practice for two or three years. I guarantee you'll be able to do everything from music and chess to calligraphy and painting."
“That’s true, I can prepare in advance.” Shen Xingzhi suddenly felt relieved.
"Rongyan, it's so good to be born later in life. With the experience of seniors like you, I can avoid many detours." Just two days ago, Shen Xingzhi regretted not having a baby sooner because she had difficulty turning over in late pregnancy. She thought that the sooner she had a baby, the sooner she would be free. But now she has changed her mind.
Yu Wenhao added, "Then I have to start practicing too."
"The food is here, let's eat first," Han Yue said.
——
Lanshan Garden at night.
After coaxing the children to sleep, Rong Yan returned to her room.
Fu Jingsheng was still messing with his eyes.
I washed my face twice with face wash but it still didn't wash off. There's a dark ring around my eyes, like I've been indulging in too much sex.
He doesn't know how to use makeup remover.
Finally, I saw my wife come home.
"Honey, help me fix this," he said, pointing to his eye socket.
Rong Yan took some makeup remover from the dressing table, applied it to a makeup remover wipe, and had the man close his eyes. She gently rubbed it in, and in no time, the dark circles under his eyes disappeared.
“Okay, take a look.” Rong Yan said, standing behind her husband.
"You really have to use the right things. Those few tiny pieces of paper wiped it off in no time. I washed my face so many times and it didn't work," Fu Jingsheng said, touching his smooth eye circles.
“I told you to wait for me, but you didn’t believe me,” Rong Yan said, leaning on her husband’s shoulder.
"Honey, I really want to thank you today." The woman suddenly became emotional.
Fu Jingsheng didn't like hearing his wife say thank you, so he suppressed his smile and said, "Why do husband and wife say thank you?"
“Even between husband and wife, there are things to say, not only love, but also gratitude. Today, when I saw you belly dancing at school, I didn’t laugh at first. On the contrary, I felt like crying, so moved that I wanted to cry.” Rong Yan paused for a moment, recalling her feelings at the time. Fu Jingsheng was someone who valued his image so much.
But today, standing on the stage, in the front row, with so many phones pointing at him and taking pictures, he still finished the entire dance. For his family, he is truly willing to do anything.
“Wife.” Fu Jingsheng turned slightly to the side and held his wife’s hand. “I’m the father, shouldn’t I? Those fathers who dance the Swan Lake are all very happy to do it.”
"Although parents should consider their children's needs more, I'm still very touched. Really, honey, I love you so much." Rong Yan kept repeating "I love you" to herself.
Fu Jingsheng put his arm around her back and pulled her to sit on his lap: "I love you very much, I love you all very much, whether it's you or the children, you are more important than myself. Wife, actually I feel the same way as you. I was also very moved to see you dancing the folk dance today."
"Did I dance well?" Rong Yan got off her husband. "I'll dance it again. I find dancing quite fun."
Rong Yan stepped back and, before Fu Jingsheng could speak, began to sway her waist.
Without the dance costume and music, Rong Yan looked like she had reverted to her old, stiff self.
Fu Jingsheng grabbed her arm and said, "You dance very well, but I don't want to watch you dance right now." The man lied.
"Tch, you just think I dance badly." From her husband's expression, Rong Yan knew whether he liked it or not.
