Everything was going smoothly for Cao Xiaoxia. As for Cao Xiaolan, she was also getting nervous.
The dean had asked her about the preparation for April's competition and told her that many industry insiders valued her very much. If she was in any trouble, she didn't mind mentioning it.
The pressure on Cao Xiaolian increased.
Fortunately, during this period, Cao Xiaoxia would go out early and come home late every day to practice dancing with Qin Xi. At home, she would also start drawing and writing. The stars in the night sky were like diamonds in blue velvet, unknowingly relaxing a lot.
Time passed by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the finals.
Cao Xiaolian and Li YuGeng did not go to school, specifically accompanying their younger sister.
She danced very well.
It had to be said that Qin Xi's arrangement was simply invulnerable. Every movement was intertwined and closely linked.
However, the final score was unexpected.
Cao Xiaoxia was only 0: 01, away from third place. She had missed the top three places.
She was a little disappointed, but she mustered her courage and forced a smile, "Wow, I'm actually fourth place. I can show off when I get back. I didn't expect to get a spot in the finals. Oh my god, what kind of luck have I gotten? "
Cao Xiaolian wanted to comfort her, but she didn't expect that she would be able to do so. Her mood immediately became better, "That's also a good result. The important thing is that you are dancing very beautifully. I was just thinking, wow, this is really my sister."
"Of course." Cao Xiao Xia held Cao Xiao Lian's neck and said proudly, "Look at their faces, who dares to say that they are different?"
Li Yuyi looked at him seriously and shook his head. "Don't say it, you two really don't resemble each other."
Normally, Cao Xiaoling wouldn't have reacted to it. However, after hearing the truth from her mother, her heart skipped a beat.
"Because I'm like my father, and my sister is like my mother." Cao Xiaoxia stroked her pointed chin. "Speaking of which, I really want to eat barbecue tonight."
"Alright, then let's go eat barbecue." Cao Xiaolian said with a smile, "I will have to trouble the driver."
Driver Li nodded, "It's good that you're going now. We don't need to wait. If you want to take a stroll on the streets, you can take a look first."
After some thought, he took out his wallet and handed it to Cao Xiaoling. "You guys go take a look later. I'll go order some dishes for you guys."
Of course, Cao Xiaolian would not take it. She was about to push it away when she saw a fast hand grab it.
Li Yuyi smiled and said, "Brother, they said that men who don't go shopping with their girlfriends are not good men. However, it's better for you to have a younger sister like me. Sigh! You can go rest now. I'll swipe the card in a bit. You just need to tell me your password and how much money is in it. "
"The password is for Xiao Lian and my birthday. If it's the sum, then …" Li YuGeng glanced at his sister and said faintly, "As long as you don't buy a platinum bag, it should be fine."
The topic of platinum bags, how did it become a topic that lasted for a long time.
Li Yuyi was a little unnatural. "I won't be buying bags these few days. Alright, then you just wait. I'll risk my life to accompany my sister-in-law."
After the competition ended, Lin Zimin thought for a moment, then gave Qin Xi a call.
"Qin Xi. The results of the competition are out. "
There was no reply, but he knew he was waiting for an answer.
"Morning Star, she's ranked fourth."
She had originally thought that Qin Xi would be angry, but unexpectedly, she calmly replied, "Okay, got it."
It was as if he'd long since known of this ending.
Lin Zimin was stunned. "You, aren't you surprised by this term?"
One had to know that Qin Xi had personally arranged that dance. During the folk dance, he believed that she was the authority of the entire country.
"The talent of this child is not bad, but it is a pity that he is only half-way out. Anyone who is able to reach the finals will not be able to do so easily." The fourth place is not bad either. "
Lin Ziming did not say anything. After a long time, he asked as if by some strange coincidence, "How have you been recently?"
"It's pretty good."
There was a long silence.
They were all people with status. Qin Xi was unmarried, but he had a family and children. No matter what, he shouldn't be Meng Lang.
"Good. If you have the chance, come out and have a meal. It's been a long time since we've had a good chat. Sometimes, we really miss the time ten years ago. "
"Children." Qin Xi suddenly changed his tone and sighed slightly. "I am no longer that innocent little girl from ten years ago, thinking that love is everything. We're all fine now, aren't we, and maybe that's the best ending. "
Lin Ziming subconsciously asked, "Can it be that you can forget about it?"
"If you can't, you have to force yourself to. What else can you do?" Qin Xi self-deprecated, "You will divorce your wife? Give up everything you have and stay with me? "
Lin Zimin was at a loss for words. He was suddenly at a loss for words.
As if thinking of his reaction, Qin Xi laughed: "See, ten years ago, I was still young and didn't understand. But then I read a book called "Red Rose and White Rose," and I understood our relationship. "
She paused, "Son, you have your own way of thinking. I cannot stop you, but I also have my pride and limits. Even if you did divorce me, I wouldn't agree. "
"In the future, other than work, don't contact me anymore. For people who have had feelings for each other, after separating, they are simply unable to be friends. "
After saying this, Qin Xi hung up.
Lin Zimin quietly held the phone, then quietly hung up.
As he was driving, he ran into Xinhua Bookstore and suddenly stopped to buy a book.
When he returned to the house, Bai Zhen was dressing a cucumber mask and watching TV.
"You're back?" Bai Zhen Zhen looked at him and said, "It's the two of us again tonight. Your son won't be coming back."
"If he doesn't come back, then he doesn't come back." He put down the plastic bag and took off his coat.
"Eh, what is this?"
Just as he was about to stop him, the book came out from the tape and said, "'Red Rose and White Rose'. Yo, since when did our musician start reading about Zhang Ailing? You used to laugh at me when I was looking at you. "
"Didn't you like it? I bought it especially for you to see."
Lin Zimin sat next to her, holding her soft body in his arms. His eyes, for some reason, flashed past the thin woman who always stuck out her chest and raised her head like a princess in a jungle.
"I lost my copy when I moved, but I don't really like this story. It's too sad, too helpless. If only you had been like Zhenbao, I would have cried to death. "
Lin Zimin didn't know who Zhenbao was, but to be mentioned by Qin Xi, he definitely wasn't a very good character. Therefore, she gently kissed the corner of Baizhen's mouth. "I've been sitting here for the whole day. I'm going to take a shower."
"Alright, go ahead." Bai Jinzhen called out, "Gao Ma, prepare the meal. Mister is tired."
She was thinking about what she would prepare for her husband, so much so that she didn't see Lin Zimin enter with a book.
Lying in the bathtub, surrounded by warm water, he slowly opened the book.
In a conspicuous place, there was a line of words.
"In the heart of every man, there are two roses, a red rose and a white rose. If you get a red rose, the white one becomes the moonlight in front of the bed and the red one is the mosquito's blood on the bed. If one obtained the White Rose, the Red Rose would have a cinnabar mole on her chest and the White Rose would have rice grains on her chest. Based on the general meaning of his memory, I hope Zhang Ailing and her fans won't scold me.)
Lin Zimin closed the book.
He thought that he understood what Qin Xi meant.
The dinner was delicious, as the competition had finally ended. Even Cao Xiaoxia had eaten quite a bit.
"Oh no, I ate too much today." Cao Xiaoxia said, holding her stomach, "I'm so happy today."
"Xia Xia, let me tell you, you are a fairy today, the fairy in my heart. This is too awesome. " Li Yiyi held up his big thumb. "Especially that last movement. It was practically the Peacock Princess."
"How could I have that kind of ability?" Cao Xiaoxia smiled embarrassedly, "This was originally a dance created by Teacher Qin Xi. She was the one who made it up. My foundation is not good, so I didn't get that feeling."
Of course, Li Yuyi knew who Qin Xi was, but Cao Xiaoxi was a good sister of hers, so she added, "Don't say that. Qin Xi might not have been a good person to you when you were young. At her age, your achievements might not be worse than hers. "
Qin Xi was Cao Xiao Xia's idol and immediately defended her: "No way, Teacher Qin Xi is a talent that is hard to come by. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to keep up. I already feel honored to be able to dance with her. "
Li Yuyi looked at her with disappointment. "You really …"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle.
It was still cold on the night of early April. It was only eight o'clock and the sky was already completely dark. There weren't many people on the streets. Therefore, the sound of the motorcycle came through the window.
"Who is it that's so annoying?" Li Yuyi frowned. "Making noise at night."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a bright light flash in front of his eyes and a few motorcycles came flying towards him.
At first, Li YuGeng didn't pay much attention to them, but as they got closer and closer, he noticed that these motorcycles were charging straight into the cars without any regards for their lives. He then felt that something was wrong and stepped on the accelerator. However, there were still two motorcycles that still crashed into each other.
The four of them could only see a blur before their eyes. Then, their bodies fiercely crashed into each other as the car came to a halt.
Li YuGeng was the first to react. After confirming that the three of them were fine, he unbuckled his seat belt and went down to check.
It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. Just by looking at it, one could tell that their heads were starting to hurt.
The two people on the motorcycle seemed to have drunk some alcohol and smelled slightly of alcohol. They didn't seem to be hurt, but one of them had lost two of his front teeth, so his face was covered in blood.
Li YuGeng asked a few questions first. When he found that there were no major problems, he quickly took out his phone to call the police.
The police would be here soon.
First, he asked around. It turned out that these two people riding motorcycles were two junior high school students. They were watching some brain-damaged television dramas, and they also learned from others to race around. Since he didn't have money, he would make his own motorcycle and take advantage of the fact that there was no one around tonight. Unexpectedly, the car didn't stop and directly hit the car.
"What about the wine?" The police officer was very serious. "Driving while drunk, do you know what kind of mistake this is?"
The senior high school student was on the verge of tears. He said that he didn't drink any alcohol, that the wine was for dinner, that he would drink some wine at a neighboring table, that he accidentally spilled it when he walked over to his side, and so on.
In the end, he was caught criticizing and taught a lesson, but luckily Li Yugeng didn't find fault with them and finally let him go.
The false alarm was not dangerous at all.
On the way back, Li Yugeng slowed down.
Who knows if any brainless kids will get out of the cars.
