Chapter 188 Joining the Dance Troupe
"Senior Qiao, you don't have to comfort me, I know." Su Man looked at the willows on the other side of the river, a little absent-minded.
"If you do this, I will regret telling you this."
"Senior."
"Um?"
"Can you sit here with me for a while?" She didn't want to go home now.
"good."
Qiao Shiyan agreed immediately.
He felt sorry for Su Man's wild thoughts and wanted to accompany her when she was unhappy. At the same time, he also wanted to stay with Su Man for a while longer.
Even just sitting like this quietly, saying nothing, doing nothing.
After finishing this topic, Su Man fell into silence.
She wants to be quiet now.
Think about the whole thing for a moment.
Now she finally understood what Xiao Beisheng meant by "owing" Luo Yan when he kept saying in his diary that he owed her.
If Su Man were Xiao Beisheng, she would probably feel that she owed Luo Yan.
Such a debt may even take a lifetime to repay.
It didn't seem so ridiculous that he wanted to adopt a child for Luo Yan.
If you want to blame someone, it's Suman herself who broke into their relationship and became the cannon fodder of their love.
As the sun sets in the west, the waves on the river surface are also dyed with a layer of orange-yellow gold.
Su Man has no intention of leaving yet.
Qiao Shiyan did not speak to break the silence.
It wasn't until the night wind suddenly started to blow that Su Man asked apologetically, "Dinner time is almost here. I've kept you here for so long. Are you going back?"
"It's okay. It's a rare opportunity to meet up with friends today, so it doesn't matter how late it is. Now that Shi Xin has gone to university, I feel much more relaxed."
Suman only took his words as a compliment.
Farewell.
The night wind blew Suman's hair, and in the hazy night, there was a kind of melancholy beauty.
Qiao Shiyan couldn't help but ask, "Su Man, I feel like you have a lot on your mind today. You're very different from when you were free and confident before. Did Bei Sheng do something to make you sad?"
"No," Su Man smiled, "I'm just digesting what happened with Luo Yan."
Qiao Shiyan didn't believe it.
If there was really nothing wrong, Su Man would not have suddenly contacted him and asked him these questions.
He said, "You are husband and wife now, and husband and wife should be one, but if he still does things that hurt you, you can always come to me. There will always be a place for you here."
In the dark night, Qiao Shiyan's eyes were firm and warm.
Su Man suddenly felt that he didn't seem to be being polite.
If there really comes a day in the future when she wants to ask him for help, he will really lend a hand to help her without hesitation.
Perhaps influenced by him, Su Man did not refuse, but half-jokingly said: "Thank you, then I will accept your kindness. If in the future, I really have nowhere else to go and seek refuge with you, you must not break your promise."
"It's a deal."
Qiao Shiyan was very serious.
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan parted ways, and on the way home, Su Man was a little hesitant.
She didn't really want to go home.
Just then, she received a call from Xiao Beisheng.
She thought the man came to look for her because he didn't see her when he got home from get off work. Unexpectedly, when the phone was connected, Xiao Beisheng's apologetic voice came: "Su Man, I probably won't be able to go home tonight. I have to go on a business trip abroad in the next few days. You have to eat dinner by yourself."
"Ah...it's okay, you should focus on your work."
Su Man was relieved instead.
She was still wandering outside because she didn't want to face Xiao Beisheng.
Xiao Beisheng didn't know what had happened to Su Man's mood today. On the other end of the phone, he still felt very guilty:
"It's just that I can't take you to work at the dance troupe tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Your first day at work has a different meaning. Don't worry, your husband will give you the sense of ceremony that you should have when going to work."
“…”
"I've contacted the housekeeper and she'll be home on time to cook for you. Don't just focus on dancing. Remember to eat on time every day. I'll supervise you. Also, rest on time, and don't forget to check in with me before going to bed. Okay?"
Xiao Beisheng was chattering on the other end of the phone, and Su Man began to get distracted.
Before today, she would have probably found it really sweet.
"Beisheng, I'm a little tired. After dinner, I plan to take a rest. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I need to stay in good spirits." Su Man said.
Xiao Beisheng on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then said sympathetically, "Okay, you have a good rest. I've already told the driver to take you to work tomorrow."
"Um."
The two were silent, the topic ended, but neither of them hung up the phone.
After a while, Xiao Beisheng called her, "Su Man."
“Hey.”
"I love you."
Su Man smiled weakly: "Me too."
After hanging up the phone, Su Man finally returned home.
The next morning, Su Man was woken up early by the alarm clock.
She got up with dark circles under her eyes and sat at the dressing table to put on makeup.
Downstairs, the housekeeper had already prepared a sumptuous and nutritious breakfast and left.
These are the flavors Xiao Beisheng recommended, and they are Su Man’s favorites.
On the living room table, there was a large bouquet of fresh flowers, sprinkled with crystal water droplets. A greeting card was inserted in the middle of the flowers, with Xiao Beisheng's handwritten words on it:
Happy first day at work!
Congratulations to my wife for joining her favorite dance troupe, taking the first step towards realizing her dream.
Love your husband]
I don’t know when it started, but when Xiao Beisheng was in a good mood, he would call Su Man "wife".
Su Man didn't find it strange before, but now she feels that this title doesn't seem to belong to her.
She put the flowers down, went to the dining table, ate a few bites of breakfast, and put the leftovers in the refrigerator.
This meal is enough for her to eat for a whole day.
Suman has a small stomach and has to strictly control her diet in order to dance.
Now that Xiao Beisheng is not here, there is no need to do so much.
Su Man calmed herself down and came to the opera house, where her dance troupe worked.
The team leader took her to formally meet with the team members.
In addition to colleagues, Su Man also met with the troupe's director, producer, and some behind-the-scenes workers.
Everyone was friendly and welcoming, except the young director.
From the moment he saw Su Man, he looked like he hadn't woken up yet and was still a little grouchy. After saying a few polite words, he became impatient.
A colleague in the troupe whispered to Su Man, "This is our director Fang Zhiming. Director Fang just returned from abroad. He's usually in charge of choreography and artistic coordination, and also serves as artistic director. He's just like that, with a bit of a strange temper and personality. You'll get to know him the more you get to know him."
Director Fang glanced at the member who was whispering, and the member quickly shut up and sat down obediently.
Su Man has a good dance foundation and is a professional dancer, so she integrated into the dance troupe very quickly.
It only took one day to catch up with everyone's pace.
The dance troupe is preparing for the rehearsal of a large-scale ballet. Starting next month, the troupe will go on a nationwide tour. If all goes well, they will also tour abroad.
Suman wants to seize this opportunity.
One, because this is her dream.
Second, once on tour, she would be traveling in other places for more than a year, and she could hide from Xiao Beisheng for a while.
However, mastering all the dance moves and reaching a level suitable for touring performances in just two months is simply unrealistic. Even the experienced veteran dancers in the dance troupe with many years of performance experience can't do it.
After Suman proposed this to the team leader, the team leader was a little hesitant, but decided to give Suman a chance.
Director Fang Zhiming suddenly exploded.
He stormed out of the studio, rushed to the front of the stage, and interrupted everyone's rehearsal: "I don't agree, Su Man can't participate! She just joined the company and wants to participate in the ballet. She doesn't have the qualifications yet!"
The troupe leader's face was a little embarrassed. "Director Fang, Su Man's situation is special. Her ability is stronger than many actors in our troupe..."
