What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

After this successful performance, Lin Yuelin seemed to have emerged from her cocoon and her life has since embarked on a series of colorful and meaningful new journeys. On this vibrant and energetic campus, the friendship between her and her classmates is like a vine growing vigorously in spring, becoming closer and more tenacious, and the interaction between them is like a blooming flower, rich, diverse and warm.

During the short and precious break between classes, Lin Yuelin was often enthusiastically surrounded by her classmates like a shining star. Once, Xiaoxuan, who was graceful and curious about dance, blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously: "Yuelin, how did you do those amazing and difficult rotations during dance rehearsal and always maintain such a graceful and charming posture? It feels like you are an elf flying freely on the stage." Lin Yuelin pursed her lips slightly, revealing a humble and friendly smile, and patiently answered: "In fact, the key is to find the inner balance point of the body with your heart. This requires constant attempts and explorations, and you have to practice repeatedly and unremittingly. Speaking of which, when I first started practicing, I always fell down like a little duck just learning to walk." The classmates around her were infected by her honesty and hard work when they heard it. They were all fascinated by her, their eyes full of admiration and yearning, and they all expressed their desire to learn some basic dance skills from her, hoping to appreciate the unique charm and confidence in the world of dance.

As the preparations for the campus cultural festival unfolded like a grand painting, Lin Yuelin naturally became the focus of everyone's attention with her bubbling imagination and excellent organizational skills. At the important moment of discussing the arrangement of the event process, the calm and capable class leader Zixuan looked at her expectantly and said, "Yuelin, you always have a lot of ideas and your thinking is very active. How do you think we should design and arrange our opening show this time so that we can firmly grasp everyone's attention and become the most dazzling highlight of the whole audience?" Lin Yuelin raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with agility and wisdom. After thinking for a moment, she responded confidently, "I think we can boldly try to cleverly combine multiple art forms. For example, first invite the students in the painting group to create a painting on the stage that is in line with the theme of this cultural festival. The closely related and profound paintings allow everyone to intuitively feel the process and charm of artistic creation. Then, our dance club improvised and performed a smart and infectious dance based on the unique artistic conception conveyed by this painting. Such a combination not only has visual impact and novelty, but also can show the rich and diverse artistic atmosphere of our campus. It will definitely amaze the audience and immerse every audience member in it. "After hearing this, Zixuan's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a bright star in the dark. He immediately adopted her wonderful suggestion without hesitation, and was full of infinite longing for the success of the opening show of the cultural festival.

Another time, when Lin Yuelin and her classmates were busy preparing for a campus charity sale, they were working together to sort out the donated items in the storage room. Chen Yang, a classmate with a somewhat impetuous personality but a kind heart, accidentally dropped a box of items on the ground with a loud crash, and the items were scattered all over the floor. Chen Yang's face flushed red instantly, his eyes were full of regret and self-blame, he said somewhat frustratedly: "Oh, why am I so clumsy, I always fail to accomplish anything but make trouble." Seeing this, Lin Yuelin hurriedly walked to his side, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a gentle and comforting tone: "It's okay, Chen Yang, it's just a trivial little accident, everyone is careless sometimes. Let's all clean up together, we can do it quickly." After that, she bent down first to pick up the items on the ground, and other classmates responded one after another. Everyone teased each other, and laughter echoed in the storage room. The atmosphere that might have been embarrassing instantly became relaxed and happy, and in the process of working together, the friendship between the classmates became deeper.

During the preparation for the campus charity sale, Lin Yuelin and her classmates, with their warm and kind hearts, passionately threw themselves into the intensive rehearsals of the opening show.

In the dance studio, bright lights sprinkled on the smooth floor. Lin Yuelin stood tall in the front, her eyes firm and bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, shining brightly. She looked around at the students gathered around her, and said in a firm and infectious tone: "This opening show is of great significance. It is not just a performance, but also a bridge for us to convey love and hope. We want to combine dance and music in the most perfect way, so that every audience can deeply feel the warm power of charity, so as to inspire the kindness and love in everyone's heart." When the students heard this, they all nodded, with the same expectation and determination flashing in their eyes, as if at that moment, their hearts had been tightly gathered together.

The rehearsal officially kicked off. Lin Yuelin first led everyone to practice basic dance movements in an orderly manner. She was like an elegant dancer instructor, demonstrating each movement accurately and beautifully. She gently raised her arms, slowly demonstrated the movements, and patiently explained in a soft and clear voice: "For this hand-raising movement, you can't just raise your arms mechanically, but feel it with your heart, as if we are gently holding up hope. The movement should be slow and graceful, pay attention to every subtle feeling of the arm in the process of stretching, and integrate emotions into it." The students watched her demonstration intently and imitated every movement carefully. However, due to the uneven dance foundation of the students, some students' movements were a little stiff, and Lin Yuelin immediately noticed this keenly. With a smile on her face, she gently walked to the student and gently adjusted the angle of his arm with her slender fingers, encouraging him: "Don't worry, dance is an art that requires patience and persistence. Practice a few more times, and you will find that your movements will become more and more natural and graceful. Believe in yourself, you can do it." With her patient guidance and encouragement, the students' movements gradually became smoother.

As the rehearsal progressed, the music coordination link became a difficult problem. Although Xiaoze, who was responsible for playing the music, had tried very hard, he always found it difficult to accurately match the music to the rhythm of the dance. For a time, the atmosphere of the rehearsal became a little solemn, and everyone's faces showed anxious looks. However, Lin Yuelin always remained calm and optimistic. She smiled and said to Xiaoze: "Xiaoze, don't be discouraged. This is just a temporary difficulty. We just need to run in a few more times. You play the music alone first, and let us clap our hands to find the rhythm of the music, and then slowly match the dance movements with it. As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." So everyone tried again and again according to the method she proposed. Xiaoze's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He stared at the music player tightly and concentrated on adjusting the rhythm of the playback. The other students did not dare to slack off at all. They clapped their hands to the rhythm and silently memorized the rhythm of the music in their hearts. Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, Ozawa gradually found that subtle feeling. Music and dance were like two matching gears, running perfectly together. At that moment, the students cheered excitedly, and their excitement was beyond words.

When the rehearsal progressed to the dance formation choreography, Lin Yuelin gave full play to her creativity and imagination and proposed a very contagious idea: "We can try to form a heart-shaped formation to symbolize the love and strength that we all gather together. Then, slowly disperse from this heart-shaped formation, as if this love is gradually transmitted from the initial condensation to every corner of the campus, and even to further places, so that more people can feel this warmth and strength." When the students heard this idea, they were deeply moved and responded positively, eager to try to move. However, there is always a certain gap between ideal and reality. Due to the complexity of the formation, there are often collisions and confusions in the process of moving. Xiaoyan, who is lively, cheerful and quirky, looked at the chaotic scene and jokingly said: "Oh, are we dancing a 'collision dance'? Why do we feel like a group of headless flies bumping around?" Her humorous words caused everyone to laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere was instantly relieved. Lin Yuelin was also amused by her humor, but soon calmed down. She cleared her throat and said, "Don't panic, this is a normal situation. Let's first identify a few key points, just like marking important coordinates on a map, and then walk slowly one by one. I will direct everyone." After that, she stood in the middle of the classroom, her eyes focused and firm, like a general commanding thousands of troops, directing the students' actions in an orderly manner. Under her careful command and the tacit cooperation of the students, everyone gradually became familiar with the rules of formation changes, and the rehearsal of the entire opening show became smoother and smoother. Every movement, every rhythm, and every formation change gradually became perfect.

After each rehearsal, everyone would sit together like a family, sharing interesting stories and inner feelings during the rehearsal. Classmate Chen Yang rubbed his sore arms, but his face was filled with a satisfied smile and said: "Although this rehearsal is a bit tiring, when I think about the fact that we are working hard for such a meaningful charity event, I feel full of strength and a sense of accomplishment." Lin Yuelin looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of recognition and relief, and responded: "Yes, the efforts of each of us will converge into a powerful force. I believe that our opening show will definitely make a wonderful start for this charity sale, attracting more people to participate in charity, and let this love spread further and wider." In this way, with the joint efforts of Lin Yuelin and her classmates, the rehearsal of the opening show gradually went well, and everyone was looking forward to the wonderful performance at the charity sale, as if they had already seen the bright lights on the stage and the warm applause from the audience that day.

Jiang Tingyan silently pays attention to every detail of his daughter's life on campus. Seeing her getting along so harmoniously with her classmates, he is filled with relief and emotion. He deeply realizes how narrow-minded and wrong his excessive tension and restrictions were. Now, he has begun to take the initiative to share his profound insights and experiences in the process of educating children with other parents, and actively advocates giving children enough free space to bravely explore the world, pursue their dreams and achieve self-growth. He is no longer the overly nervous father who sets limits everywhere, but has learned to silently support his daughter's every decision and action behind her back, and give her appropriate and warm guidance and encouragement at critical moments, just like the lighthouse that guides the ship in the night sky. Although it is not dazzling, it can give his daughter the most solid support and direction when she is confused.

Lin Wanyi pays more attention to cultivating Lin Yuelin's comprehensive quality and moral cultivation from the inner cultivation aspect. On quiet nights, with soft light shining on the desk in the study, she often immerses herself in the world of classic masterpieces with her daughter. They will discuss the profound philosophy of life contained in the book, analyze the character's personality and destiny, and guide Lin Yuelin to establish correct values ​​and worldviews, so that she can understand what is truly worth pursuing in this complex world, and what are the bottom lines and principles that should be adhered to. In daily life, Lin Wanyi also actively encourages her to participate in various public welfare activities, so that she can learn to care for others and understand the true meaning of gratitude and dedication in the process of helping others, so as to cultivate a kind, tolerant and compassionate heart.

As time passed quietly, Lin Yuelin stood at an important crossroads in her life - the decision of further study. She looked at the two completely different but each full of temptations and challenges, and fell into deep hesitation and entanglement between artistic expertise and academic pursuits. On one side was the dance art that she loved and was good at, which was the sustenance of her soul and the stage of her dreams; on the other side was the vast academic ocean, which contained endless treasures of knowledge and wisdom.

Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi knew the importance of this decision to their daughter's future life. They did not make the decision for their child directly like many parents did. Instead, they chose to stay by her side, and together with her, they deeply understood the development prospects of different paths and patiently analyzed her strengths and interests.
