There was a summer vacation in between, and I don’t know if the rumors had spread or not. I was immersed in my own dance world, practicing every day.
My mother hired the best dance teacher for me, and every teacher I had put in a lot of effort in teaching me how to dance.
Of course, my mother also said that my success in practicing is also due to my own persistence and hard work. If I only had talent and a good teacher, I would be just another Zhong Yong.
So I kept my mother's words in mind and used my genius efforts to learn the dance that I loved most in my heart.
For a month, except when my family asked me to go out and play, I spent all my time in the dance studio. The only friend from high school I still kept in touch with was Li Mi.
Occasionally, Li Mi would ask me to go shopping, and I would buy some niche but comfortable and well-designed clothes like her.
Li Mi said I was a different kind of rich second generation.
Rich second generation? I have never used this term to measure myself. I have lived the life of an ordinary child since I was young. My parents did not let me consider myself as their daughter.
In addition, I have been attending ordinary public schools since I was a child, and my temperament is mostly common. I can only say that the difference between me and ordinary girls is that I have more choices in the future.
Just like the New Year’s Eve dinner in our family, it is also very warm. Dad cooks, Mom and grandma help, and Diandian and I make a lot of noise in the living room.
Occasionally we would go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year, or visit our grandparents, but most of the time we would spend it at home with our grandma.
Grandma was not like those old ladies from rich families who wore either this or that jewelry. She had nothing on her ears or neck, only a sandalwood bracelet on her wrist.
Grandma said that she was a doctor, and dressing too fancy would only delay her ability to provide treatment.
That's a very good point. For example, I'm a dancer and everything on my body is jingling, wouldn't that affect my performance?
After practicing dance for a whole month, I returned to school and had almost forgotten the little episode before the holiday. Who would have thought that it would suddenly come to my ears as soon as I stepped into the campus.
"That's Pei Xiaoxing from class xx. I heard that her name is fake. She's Pei Yuanzheng's daughter. Is there anyone who likes to show off more than her? The real Pei Yuanzheng's daughter is probably more low-key than anyone else."
"Yes, yes. A childhood friend of mine in their class told me the whole story. It was so thrilling. I heard that Pei Xiaoxing's father's belly was bigger than a pregnant woman's. Moreover, his last name was not Pei at all, but Wang."
"What kind of father and daughter are they? They have different last names, so maybe the father is a fake one? Who knows, maybe it's the godfather?"
…
Slanderous words kept coming out of the mouths of those students who were holding hands.
The almost forgotten memory hit me again. They were still talking about that thing. I frowned and pulled my suitcase towards the dormitory.
When I entered the dormitory, I found that my three roommates were also discussing this matter.
"Xinyan, come quickly, come quickly! I don't know who posted Pei Xiaoxing's incident on the Wall of Honor. It was so vivid. There were many things we didn't know, but that person acted as if he had seen them with his own eyes."
A roommate called me over to discuss it.
Another roommate asked me, "Xinyan, I see that your brother seems to be very familiar with Pei Xiaoxing's father. Didn't you stay there that day? What is the truth?"
Originally, they didn't ask, and I didn't want to say much. Whoever gets involved in this kind of thing will be in trouble, and rumors will not let anyone go.
But since they asked, and I was an insider, I told them and my roommates that Pei Xiaoxing was Uncle Wang's biological daughter, that she now had her mother's surname, that her mother and Pei Yuanzheng were distant cousins, and that she changed her surname because she admired Pei Yuanzheng.
"It's actually because of this, but she came two days ago and she didn't tell us."
"That's right. No matter what others say, she just sits there with a cold face and doesn't say a word. She will go if we ask her to go out, but she seems to be more silent than before."
"She lost face, but I think that her family can afford such a big villa, so they are not an ordinary family. Her starting point is already ahead of most people. What is there to be embarrassed about?"
I am very glad that my three roommates all have very positive values.
At the same time, I also told my roommates about my ideas.
"This matter has nothing to do with us after all. Pei Xiaoxing himself didn't come out to explain, so we shouldn't meddle in other people's business. We don't want to get into trouble in the end."
My roommates all agreed with what I said. They heard the truth that others didn’t know, and they felt particularly satisfied. They no longer discussed the matter in the dormitory.
My ears are finally quiet.
I took out the snacks my father prepared for me from my suitcase and put them together with those brought by my roommates, and several of us started sharing what happened during our winter vacation.
After knowing that I had practiced professional dance courses for two months during the winter vacation, they all found it incredible.
"Fourth girl, you are still working hard at home. Come on, get on the scale and take a look."
As soon as I got on the scale, they all despaired.
"No way, I gained four pounds!"
"Only four pounds? I gained six pounds!"
"Although I didn't gain weight, I haven't practiced basic skills for a month, and my flesh has become puffy...."
After they finished complaining, they all turned their eyes to me and said, "Xinyan, go to the dance studio now. We want to see your achievements in this month."
So I went back to school, and before I even had a meal, I was dragged to the dance studio by my three roommates to show off the results of my one-month "training".
When we arrived at the dance studio, someone had already arrived and was working hard to practice the connected movements.
We looked carefully and found that the person was actually Pei Xiaoxing. In fact, she was the one who was criticized the most by the teachers last semester. They said that her movements were stiff and she had almost no talent for learning dance. Some teachers even told her to find a way to change her major as soon as possible.
But she never gave up and kept practicing hard with gritted teeth.
Now we are all amazed to see her results. Although we can’t say how graceful and beautiful her dancing is, but at least her body is not as stiff as last semester, and her dance moves are also coherent and smooth.
It can be seen that a lot of effort was put in during the winter vacation.
A girl like this, who is pretty, has a good temperament, comes from a good family, and is willing to work hard, is just a little vain, just vanity. She hasn't committed any big mistake, so what's wrong with being a little vain?
