Chapter 62 Warm Current
Xiao Beisheng was close, so she could feel his body temperature and breathing after exercise, the texture of his skin, and the sweat full of masculine characteristics...
His hormones were like an invisible big hand, gently grasping her heart and then letting go.
"This passage leads directly to the gym," said Xiao Beisheng.
He half-closed his eyes and looked at Suman.
Su Man was dressed in a dance training suit. She had a well-proportioned and slender figure, a waist that could be pinched with one hand, and a curvaceous figure that was perfectly formed in all the right places. She was also very fair, with delicate skin, without a single blemish, like smooth, delicate milk satin.
Especially when she was practicing dancing, every movement fully demonstrated the beauty of her body. The morning light fell on her, like Venus descending from the sky.
His towering Adam's apple rolled up and down. He supported Su Man and pushed her a little further away with his gentlemanly hand. "I'm all sweaty."
Su Man wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm not much better than you."
"I'm done with my workout and ready to go get breakfast. Want to join me? I see you've been dancing for quite a while too."
Su Man glanced at the time. It was already past seven o'clock. "Well, it's time for breakfast. I have to go to the venue today to familiarize myself with the competition venue in advance."
His eyes were still glued to her face, staring straight into hers. "Then I'll take you there after breakfast."
"No need, the venue is very close here, I can go there by myself."
Xiao Beisheng said calmly, "I don't have anything to do anyway, so I might as well go over and take a look. I'll just try to get in touch with an area that I can't normally touch."
This reason was perfect, so Su Man stopped refusing.
They had breakfast together, and Xiao Beisheng accompanied Su Man to the competition venue. Perhaps because of Xiao Beisheng's company, Su Man felt particularly safe and more confident.
After returning home, Su Man practiced dancing for another afternoon, but she was obviously less anxious.
In the evening, Xiao Beisheng took Su Man out to a restaurant for dinner.
"This is a very famous local restaurant with a history of a hundred years. The food is very authentic. Gao Xun had to wait for several days to get a table." Xiao Beisheng introduced her.
The waiter came up and poured a glass of red wine for each of them. Xiao Beisheng raised his glass and said, "I wish you good luck in tomorrow's competition and hope you win the championship."
Su Man smiled, raised the red wine glass beside her, and gently touched his glass, "Thank you for your good words."
The atmosphere was relaxed until Suman's cell phone rang, interrupting the pleasant atmosphere.
When Su Man saw the caller, her whole body tensed up.
Xiao Beisheng took a curious look and saw that it was Shen Qing who called.
"If you don't want to answer it, don't answer it." Xiao Beisheng said.
"Yeah." Su Man hung up the call, turned the phone upside down, picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece of steak and put it in her mouth. The food that was delicious just now suddenly became tasteless.
The light from the phone screen kept peeking out from under the tablecloth, and Shen Qing's calls kept coming in.
There was no way to escape, so Su Man finally picked up the phone, "Auntie."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Qing's powerful voice came flooding over: "Where are you now?"
"Country F."
"Alright, you ungrateful bastard! I've raised you for so many years, and this is how you treat me. I've poured my heart and soul into you all these years. How much money have I spent on you? I trained you just to let you participate in such a lowly competition and become a poor actor?"
Su Man clenched her palms, trying her best to control her emotions, "I have done a lot for my aunt over the years."
"More?! Are you kidding me? Without the Shen family and me, are you worth that price? Do you think it's all because of your own ability? Su Man, auntie gives you two choices. You can compete, but when you come back, get married immediately."
Su Man was silent.
When Shen Qing heard that she didn't respond, his tone, which had just softened a little, became sharp again. The ugly abuse made Xiao Beisheng frown.
He signals Suman to give him the phone.
Su Man didn't know what he was going to do, but she did it anyway.
Xiao Beisheng took the phone and turned on the speaker, "Boss Shen, it's me, Xiao Beisheng."
Shen Qing's endless scolding suddenly stopped, "...Xiao, Mr. Xiao."
"Suman is with me now. I think she would not want to go back and get married. A woman's full value cannot be realized only through marriage."
"Boss Xiao, this is our family affair. You are an outsider, so it's easy for you to talk. You support our Su Man in her career, but in the end, Su Man can't get married and can't get greater benefits. Who can be responsible for her?"
"If she doesn't mind me, I can cover this for her."
Xiao Beisheng's words not only left Shen Qing on the other end of the phone speechless, but also surprised Su Man.
Xiao Beisheng added: "I'm not satisfied with what you said. I'm pursuing Su Man now and want to be with Su Man."
Shen Qing smiled awkwardly: "Please don't make such jokes. Whether you and Su Man are just playing around or just getting carried away, it's not a relationship that can last."
"Why not?"
Xiao Beisheng asked back in a resounding voice. The oppressive feeling that came with being in a superior position made people feel that he was determined to win.
Su Man's eyes were a little vague.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Qing didn't say anything else.
She probably didn't expect that Su Man not only had Qiao Shiyan's help, but also asked Xiao Beisheng to intervene.
What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Beisheng actually went to Country F with Su Man and stayed with Su Man the entire time!
Xiao Beisheng said, "Su Man has a competition tomorrow. I hope you won't push her too hard and put unnecessary stress on her. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone for Su Man."
He was humble and polite, but his tone and expression were actually cold.
How could Shen Qing dare to object, so he had to let Xiao Beisheng hang up the phone.
Xiao Beisheng handed the phone to Su Man and said, "Don't take what your aunt said to heart."
Su Man picked up the red wine glass and took a sip. "I'm used to it. She's always said the same thing since I was little. I'm not afraid of what she says, I'm just afraid of her doing something behind my back. Things like locking me up, going to my workplace without my knowledge and resigning on my behalf... Sometimes, I feel like I'm a plant she keeps, and I have to grow the way she wants me to. If I grow any other branches, she'll immediately come over with a pair of scissors and cut them off."
"But I think you are tenacious in life. As long as there is sunshine, you will be able to grow."
Su Man clinked her wine glass with his and said proudly, "Growing wildly!"
Xiao Beisheng smiled and looked at her, with a gleam in his eyes.
That night, Su Man did not continue practicing. Instead, she watched videos of previous competitions and then repeatedly watched the videos of her own dancing to find out the imperfections in every detail of her movements.
The next day, the dance competition officially kicked off.
Gao Xun drove her and Xiao Beisheng to the venue to prepare.
Su Man was going to the dressing room to get ready, and Xiao Beisheng said to her, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."
Su Man nodded, feeling warm in her heart.
Others were accompanied by their relatives and friends, or their own instructors, but Su Man had no relatives or friends. Xiao Beisheng and Gao Xun were by her side, which gave her a lot of strength.
Su Man put on her makeup, changed into her dance costume, and came out from backstage, but she didn't see Xiao Beisheng and Gao Xun.
A staff member came to the waiting area and received a notice that she was ready to go on stage. It was almost her turn.
Su Man subconsciously looked for Xiao Beisheng.
This time, she really found it.
Xiao Beisheng has a superior appearance, and he stands out among people of all skin colors and nationalities.
Now he was blocked by several young girls in the waiting area of the stadium. A girl with a lively appearance was standing in front of Xiao Beisheng, as if asking for his contact information.
Behind her, several female companions were accompanying her and cheering her on.
