Chapter 174 Clingy Gu Huaichen
For a period of time after Lin Youning officially started working, his life was very regular.
On weekdays, I don’t go anywhere except to work. On weekends, I sometimes rest at home with Gu Huaichen, and occasionally go on short trips nearby.
After adapting for a period of time, Lin Youning was arranged to rehearse.
The dance troupe had many performances at the end of the year, so Lin Youning became very busy. Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year.
Lin Youning did not have any time during the three-day New Year's Day holiday. She had a performance on New Year's Day in a song and dance troupe in Beijing North.
After hearing the news, Gu Huaichen and Ji Nutu both said they would come to the theater to watch her performance. This would be her first official performance on stage after returning to the theater, and they must come to support her.
After asking a few people who came, Lin Youning wanted to arrange tickets for them, but was rejected by Gu Huaichen.
He said they could do it.
Lin Youning thought about it and decided to let them do as they pleased.
Considering that Ji Nutu and the others would be coming, Lin Youning hesitated for a moment and called Zhao Tinglan to ask her if she wanted to go to the theater to watch her performance.
Zhao Tinglan said that she had made an appointment with her friends to celebrate the New Year somewhere else and couldn't go.
Hearing her cautious voice, Lin Youning was startled for a moment, then hummed softly, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually, you can have fun."
She pursed her lips and paused before asking, "Who are you going out with?"
Zhao Tinglan mentioned a name, an auntie that Lin Youning had met before. She was not a figure in the rich circle, but a college classmate of Zhao Tinglan.
But Lin Youning vaguely remembered that Zhao Tinglan and she had a falling out a few years ago and they had not been in contact for a long time.
But she didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Okay, then please be careful."
Zhao Tinglan responded: "I know."
She pursed her lips and whispered, "You too, be good to Huaichen, and have a happy new year."
Lin Youning hummed, "Happy New Year."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Youning curled up on the sofa for a long time. When Gu Huaichen came to find her, she came back to her senses and looked at him.
Seeing her pitiful eyes, Gu Huaichen's mind moved slightly. He reached out and touched her head, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with mom?"
"No." Lin Youning answered him, her lips pursed into a straight line, "She's going out to play on New Year's Day."
Gu Huaichen was stunned and understood what she meant.
He raised his hands, picked up Lin Youning, curled her up in his arms, and said softly, "We are all here."
Gu Huaichen's breath penetrated her nose. Lin Youning lowered her eyelashes and rubbed gently against his chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace.
She knew what Gu Huaichen meant. In fact, before calling Zhao Tinglan, Lin Youning had guessed that she might not be able to come. But she still made the call and got a negative answer.
Guessing is one thing, and finalizing it is another.
Deep down, Lin Yu-ning still hoped that Zhao Ting-lan would be able to see her performance. She had not performed on stage for more than a year, almost two years.
When she was a child, Zhao Tinglan always accompanied her to dance practice. She was also there when she performed on stage for the first time.
But I don’t know when it started, but Zhao Tinglan appeared less and less in her performances.
Obviously, she wasn't the one who did something wrong.
Thinking of this, Lin Youning sighed softly, and rubbed Gu Huaichen's neck like a kitten, "Gu Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen patted her back gently and replied in a deep voice: "I'm here."
Lin Youning smiled softly, "I know."
She absorbed the warmth he gave her and was reluctant to leave.
Gu Huaichen didn't say much to comfort Lin Youning. He knew that it would be futile to say anything at this moment. All he could do was to accompany her.
The two of them nestled on the sofa and hugged each other for a while. Lin Youning suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Huaichen with energy, "Are you done with your work?"
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He was not surprised by Lin Youning's change. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's over for now. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lin Youning said, "I'm going to work."
Gu Huaichen raised his eyes: "Hmm?"
Lin Youning: "I will be performing on stage in a week, I need to practice more at home."
Because Lin Youning likes dancing, a bedroom on the third floor was converted into a dance studio shortly after she moved in. Recently, when Lin Youning is free or on vacation, she practices dancing in the dance studio on the third floor.
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you want an audience?"
Lin Youning looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "...not for now."
She still wanted to leave him a surprise, but now that he had finished watching it, there would be no surprises in the actual performance.
Hearing this, Gu Huaichen smiled helplessly, "Okay."
He pinched Lin Youning's fingers and whispered, "Then I'll go to the study."
Lin Youning nodded, raised her face and kissed him, "Okay, Mr. Gu, go ahead and do your thing."
She is busy with her own things.
Gu Huaichen nodded and pulled her up from the sofa, "Don't be too tired."
Lin Youning responded obediently, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
She doesn't work as hard as she did when she first entered college.
The two separated and each went about their own business.
After changing into her dance costume, Lin Youning went to the third floor. When she was practicing, the servants of Yun Gu Mansion, including Gu Huaichen, would not go up to the third floor. They would give her enough private space.
After practicing for a while, Lin Youning picked up the camera and recorded a video.
After recording, she sent it to Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu is professional and she needs Zhao Fu's opinion.
A few moments after she sent the message, Zhao Fu sent her many thumbs-up emojis in return.
Lin Youning laughed and went to rest beside her with her phone in her arms: [Teacher Zhao, I came to ask you for your comments.]
Zhao Fu replied immediately: [I am just commenting. ]
Lin Youning: [No other comments?]
Zhao Fu: [You have practiced this dance very well. Whether it is the strength or the emotional involvement, there is nothing wrong with it. If I must say something, I can see that you are a little nervous.]
Zhao Fu was right. Lin Youning was indeed a little nervous. She hadn't officially performed on stage for a long time. Although she was confident in herself, it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all.
Thinking about this, Lin Youning sighed: [Teacher Zhao really has a keen eye. ]
Zhao Fu: [I understand you.]
Zhao Fu: [Relax, it's okay, you have to believe in yourself. ]
Lin Youning: [I believe it, but being nervous is another matter.]
Zhao Fu: [That’s true.]
After chatting with Zhao Fu for a few words, Lin Youning continued to practice dancing.
After practicing for several hours, she finally felt tired.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, Lin Youning's phone vibrated again. This time it was a message from Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen: [Mrs. Gu, are you still not going to call it a day? ]
Lin Youning chuckled: [Just about to call it a day, is Mr. Gu done with his work? ]
Gu Huaichen: [I'm done. I'll be waiting for you at the staircase. ]
Lin Youning: “…”
Seeing what Gu Huaichen said, she couldn't help but laugh and thought, we are all in the same house, what are we waiting for at the staircase?
But inexplicably, she really likes this clingy Gu Huaichen.
