The next day, she received a short-notice performance assignment. Unfortunately, the time happened to be in the evening, and she still went to Lincoln Center. Jiang Ningyu could only apologize to Lin Xuyue and complained about the coincidence of the time.
Lin Xuyue expressed regret.
As for what a pity it was, Jiang Ningyu realized it deeply when she received the video he sent before the performance: Under the light of the lights and wine, the boy in suits and ties held a mobile phone in one hand and made an inviting hook gesture towards the camera with the other.
, and then the scene turned to the party venue, where handsome men and beautiful women pushed glasses into cups and drank wine, filled with the sensual pleasure of the rich and powerful.
He only appeared in the scene for two seconds. His slightly raised chin and neck were extremely elegant. A slight smile on his lips added a touch of sentimentality to his noble eyebrows.
At that time, Jiang Ningyu had just finished her makeup and looked at the progress bar several times. Suddenly an idea came to her and she walked to the backstage corridor, chose an angle with soft lighting, and took a selfie of herself.
Her long, wavy hair was brushed to the side of her shoulders, and her thin bangs slightly framed her eyebrows. Her face was slightly tilted to the side, not deliberately concave, but revealing her beautiful and white neck, which looked proud and straight.
After Jiang Ningyu finished sending, she realized that her eyes were a little sweet, which must be a problem with her makeup. She wanted to withdraw, but then thought about it and felt it was unnecessary, so she sent another sentence:
【Dance together next time!】
Then I went to prepare for the performance.
The grand orchestral symphony kicked off. As Brahms' First Symphony sounded, the huge concert hall was instantly enveloped in an exciting atmosphere.
Jiang Ningyu stood in the C position of the string section this time. Wearing an elegant and holy white dress, she was able to perform many variations of the tune, double-note plucked strings, double-overtone continuous bows, etc., and completed the main melody eye-catchingly.
So when she finally left the stage, she received the biggest applause and the first bouquet of flowers in her life - from a very supportive professional teacher. The teacher even excitedly brought a handsome young man backstage and introduced her, "This is the Weill Foundation
Member of the Weill family, Burton, the eldest son of the Weill family." As the largest donor family supporting the music education wing, the Weill Foundation is renowned.
The personable young man spoke pure British English and politely invited her to attend the Will family's charity party next week.
Jiang Ningyu was flattered and exchanged a few polite words with him. When everyone left, she breathed a long sigh of relief and stared at her slightly trembling left hand.
"Are all fairies so popular?"
At this time, a clear voice with a smile sounded from behind.
Jiang Ningyu turned her head in surprise and saw Lin Xuyue walking in. She couldn't help but joked, "Are you a backstage professional? No one stopped you?"
There was something different about him today. Perhaps because he was wearing a suit, his figure became taller and neater. Taking another step forward, his entire face was shrouded in the ambiguous light.
He smiled and didn't answer, but made a gesture to invite a dance, "It's already time for the next time." He meant it, and he was as elegant as a handsome nobleman.
Jiang Ningyu happily put her hand into his palm, blinked and said, "Can you jump?"
"Try it."
They danced the waltz slowly in the background without music. To her surprise, Lin Xuyue danced very well, and she could see the basics of dance steps. She guessed that he should have been born and raised in a good family, so that he could move with ease.
Dress calmly and meticulously.
There is no music around, but there seems to be music quietly flowing out from the bottom of my heart. Like an insignificant seed that has just been buried in my heart, no one knows what kind of magnificence it will grow in the future.
Turning her waist around, Jiang Ningyu was brought back from her thoughts by a sudden force on her waist. As if surprised by her soft figure, Lin Xuyue was stunned for a moment before she apologized softly.
After dancing, Jiang Ningyu suddenly felt the strangeness of the atmosphere. She didn't answer the "sorry", as if she hadn't heard it, and asked about other topics, "Is it over over there?"
"It's almost done. I'm leaving first." Lin Xuyue seemed to be troubled by the heat and oppressiveness. She loosened her tie and unbuttoned her collar. Seeing that she put the violin into the cabinet casually, she asked again, "
Won’t Qin be taken away?”
"My piano is in the dormitory. The school's performance tasks are basically here. These pianos are universal." Jiang Ningyu picked up the flowers and said, "Let's go, I'm ready."
"your clothes……"
"Go back and change it." Jiang Ningyu pulled off her earrings with one hand as she walked out, sighing, "Our teacher often does things at short notice, and my pile of costumes now can fill a suitcase.
.”
Then he noticed Lin Xuyue's surprised gaze and couldn't help but shake the silver earrings in his hand at him, "It's an ear clip. I didn't pierce my ears because I was afraid of pain." After saying this, he said in surprise, "Oh, put the rhyme on it."
Already."
Lin Xuyue was amused by her, "Are you talking about stand-up comedy?"
Jiang Ningyu didn't take it seriously. After leaving the concert hall, she suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I haven't seen Lu Li in the past two days? What is he busy with?"
"Work-study." Lin Xuyue explained, "He found a part-time job at a nearby Chinese restaurant and didn't go to the dance today."
"Is he off work?"
"That store closes at eleven o'clock, there's still half an hour left."
"Then let's go find him now?"
Jiang Ningyu is the kind of person who will act on a sudden idea. When she throws out her ideas, her eyes are clear and clear, with the innocence of not knowing the world.
Lin Xuyue took off his suit, handed it to her and said, "Okay, you put it on first."
Her skirt is not short, but rather slim-fitting, which complements her extraordinary growth. She is also holding a warm and delicate flower, which is too eye-catching.
Considering that it was not peaceful at night abroad, she did not refuse. She just said with emotion, "Why do I feel that I have an indissoluble bond with your coat."
She gave him the flowers and put on his suit. There was a clean and clear smell on the clothes, which actually smelled very attractive... After realizing what she was thinking, Jiang Ningyu was shocked and quickly took out her mobile phone.
cover up.
I just saw the message he sent back two hours ago:
【I'm already looking forward to it.】
—— Let’s dance together next time!
——I'm already looking forward to it.
The tone always seemed like a joke, but Jiang Ningyu suddenly felt her cheeks heat up, and she felt a restless and boiling mood. It must have been that the dance just now consumed too much energy.
The boy walking next to him was wearing a shirt and tie, with tall shoulders and a walking clothes rack.
She glanced at it and typed silently:
【Did you dance with anyone else today?】
Hearing the beep, he took out his phone and took a look.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ningyu.
She just pretended not to notice it, acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't squint her eyes.
After a while, the phone vibrated.
She clicked it and took a look:
【Who said dancing has to be a must at prom?】
He didn't answer directly, but asked her a question instead.
Jiang Ningyu typed back immediately:
[Yes! Your cafeteria is so delicious, the snacks should also be delicious...[crying]]
Then she heard a chuckle.
The boy who tilted his head and held the flowers lowered his head while typing, with a smile on his lips, which was really charming.
[I’ll take you to eat delicious food soon, ascetic monk.]
It's like playing a secret tacit understanding game. The person is obviously around, but the dialogue that can't even be heard in the air is even more enjoyable.
Finally, she couldn't help but murmur to herself, "It's indeed almost as good as an ascetic..."
When Lin Xuyue heard this, she laughed and said, "Didn't you say that love is the source of all motivation? You will definitely be a successful violinist in the future."
