1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 216 Doubts and Expectations

On the campus path leading deep into the Beijing Dance Academy campus, there are lush shrubs on both sides, and tall trees blocking the drizzling rain from the sky.

Liu Xiaoli and the other two entered the school gate and found a two-meter-wide path leading deep into the campus.

Zhan Wenlei pushed the bike, Liu Xiaoli held an umbrella for her to protect her from the rain, while Wang Qiang was alone holding a black umbrella.

When they came in May, the teachers from Beijing Dance Academy took them on a tour, but Liu Xiaoli doesn’t have much impression of it now.

Liu Xiaoli was excited about entering the Beijing Dance Academy, the top dance academy in China known as the cradle of dancers. She looked around curiously with her bright almond eyes.

It was a bright day, and the campus was empty. It was raining and it was summer vacation, so there was basically no one outside.

Not far away, there are several six- or seven-story buildings, densely packed together.

The campus of Beijing Dance Academy is not very large. After all, there are not many subjects and the number of teachers and students is small. It only takes less than half an hour to tour the entire school.

Compared with the Beijing Normal University where Liu Xiaoli had been, it was quite small, but it was also bigger than the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater.

Liu Xiaoli didn't care about this, but looked towards the side of the playground, where there was a tall building, which was shaped like a U.

It consists of four buildings arranged in an orderly manner, and each building is connected by stairs.

This is the dance room.

The last time they came to train, they were impressed by the various professional equipment in the dance studio, including lighting, sound systems, soft wooden floors, and oversized floor-to-ceiling mirrors... There is no doubt that this is the most advanced dance studio in the country.

At that time, many sisters in the dance troupe couldn’t help but fantasize that it would be great if the Fantasy Theater could build a theater according to this standard.

As for owning a professional dance studio of their own, they dare not even dream of it.

And now, if nothing unexpected happens, Liu Xiaoli will get a dance studio of her own after passing the exam.

This is the gap in resources. Even a theater with a long history like Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater cannot compare with Beijing Dance Academy.

With longing in her heart, the girl followed Wang Qiang holding an umbrella. The dripping rain fell on the umbrella, splashing tiny water droplets and making popping sounds.

The sound is clean and particularly pleasant.

The air after the rain is very clean and fresh, and the temperature has dropped a lot.

The occasional breeze brought splashes of rain that fell on the girl's snow-white arms, making her shiver with cold.

After a while, we arrived at the office building.

The three of them came under the eaves.

"Okay, we're here."

Aunt Wang Qiang informed them, then she stomped the rain water on her feet, leaving a few wet footprints on the marble floor.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli and Zhan Wenlei also did it subconsciously.

"Luckily I didn't wear sandals today, otherwise it would have been impolite."

Liu Xiaoli looked down and saw her delicate ankles exposed, with a slight sheen of water on her fair skin.

In order to avoid her pants getting wet by the rain water brought up by the front of her shoes, she tucked in the legs of her black trousers before going out.

The fabric of the black trousers she was wearing was soft and elastic, which made them comfortable and light to wear, and did not affect her small dance moves.

Because he stomped his feet just now, the trouser legs on his two legs were one higher than the other.

Liu Xiaoli was a quick and decisive person, so she just did it all.

At this time, she found a female teacher wearing square-framed glasses, a shirt and trousers, walking towards her. She looked okay, but she had a stern face and a serious expression, and it was obvious that she was not easy to get along with.

When the female teacher saw Wang Qiang, she forced a smile on her serious face and greeted him, "Director Wang, why are you here so early today? There is a work meeting this morning regarding the end-of-month entrance exam. Director Wang, please come over then."

"No problem, Director Yu."

Wang Qiang nodded and then asked, "You just came down from upstairs, right? Is the dean in the office?"

"Of course. When I came down just now, the dean was having breakfast in his office."

The female teacher called Director Yu walked closer and glanced seriously at Liu Xiaoli and Zhan Wenlei who were standing behind Wang Qiang.

I was a little confused. The young woman with a mature temperament should be Wang Qiang’s eldest daughter, but who is the pretty little girl behind her?

Director Yu's inquiring eyes caught Wang Qiang's attention. She turned sideways and introduced:
"I forgot to introduce you, this is Director Yu from the Academic Affairs Office."

"Hello, Director Yu."

Liu Xiaoli and Zhan Wenlei said hello.

"I know Wenlei. Who is this pretty girl?"

Director Yu asked with a frown.

"This is Liu Xiaoli."

Wang Qiangyi said it succinctly.

"Liu Xiaoli, is she the one who used the backdoor to find connections?"

Director Yu's already serious face quickly turned cold, and he spoke bluntly while looking Liu Xiaoli up and down with a scrutinizing and questioning gaze.

Her tone and eyes revealed a hint of doubt and contempt.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and her heart sank.

Even so, she did not lower her head to avoid the other person's gaze and undisguised displeasure.

Liu Xiaoli looked at the other party confidently. He did not respond angrily. After all, the other party was the director of the school's Academic Affairs Office.

But she looked at him confidently, showing no fear or backing down.

"This face looks good, and the figure is quite tall. It seems that he has a potential for dancing. No wonder he was recommended by Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater.

But she is from a small place after all, and the dance teaching system is not perfect. I have seen too many unconventional people like her in this period of time. Although she has some insignificant talents, it is still difficult for her to become a great talent. It seems that Director Wang will have a hard time finding such a student. "

Director Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise at Liu Xiaoli's confident gaze, and commented on Liu Xiaoli in a light tone, then teased Wang Qiang without even looking at her.

"Hehe... not necessarily."

Aunt Wang Qiang didn't say anything when she heard this.

Liu Xiaoli on the side took a deep breath. Although the girl was usually gentle, she was always proud in the field of dance.

This Director Yu simply looks down on me!
The girl calmed down and replied coldly, "Isn't what Director Yu said too absolute?"

"Oh? You seem a little unconvinced, little girl. I'm not belittling you, I'm just stating the facts."

Director Yu seemed surprised by her courage, but he still explained, "It's normal for young people to be arrogant, but you also know that the Beijing Dance Academy is open to recruit undergraduate dance students during this period.

Young people from theaters, art troupes, and literary and artistic units from all over the country, anyone who thought they had some talent, came.

Although you are not bad, I have seen a few lesbians who are similar to you in this period of time, and there are also some who are stronger than you. "

"Then Director Yu, please wait and see."

Liu Xiaoli calmed down, shook her head, and explained in a flat tone.

Director Yu’s words were not pleasant to hear, but they also reminded her not to be careless.

Teacher Jiang Ling’s special training over the past few months was not in vain, she is not inferior to anyone.

"hehe."

Director Yu saw her like this, and smiled for the first time on his serious face. He said nothing, "Director Wang, I'm leaving first. Remember to come for the meeting at ten o'clock."

After saying that, Director Yu turned and left, his back disappearing from sight.

"Isn't this Director Yu too mean? Xiaoli hasn't said anything yet, but he actually belittles her like this."

Zhan Wenlei couldn't help but stand up for Liu Xiaoli and said unhappily.

Liu Xiaoli was also feeling somewhat dissatisfied and angry.

"Director Yu is such a person, but there is a reason for it."

Wang Qiang thought for a moment and explained, "Xiao Li, you also know that you have a special training quota, there are many competitors for this quota, and this quota is not unique.

Director Yu’s daughter Lin Xingjie is one of the only two girls who have received a place this year. Lin Xingjie previously studied at the Vaganova Ballet Academy for two years.

In addition, Director Yu came to me before and said that he wanted Lin Xingjie to study with me, but I refused. Maybe it was because of this that he was so mean to Xiaoli. But Xiaoli, you don’t have to take it to heart, just do your best. "

"Hiss! Mom, you're not talking about the Vaganova Ballet Academy in the Soviet Union." Zhan Wenlei took a breath and exclaimed.

"What dance academy? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Xiaoli's pretty face was full of confusion and bewilderment. She had a great talent for dancing, but she had no knowledge of the subject.

Wang Qiang paused, as if worried about something, and finally explained it to her.

Liu Xiaoli's face turned a little serious.

Vaganova Ballet Academy, located in Saint Petersburg, Soviet Union.

The school was founded in 1738, and has a history of nearly three hundred years. It even has an extremely domineering former name, called "Imperial Ballet School".

In 1957 it was officially renamed "Vaganova Ballet Academy".

Since its establishment, this academy has been one of the world's top professional ballet academies and is also a direct affiliated school of the world-renowned Mariinsky Ballet, enjoying an extremely prestigious reputation.

Director Yu’s daughter Lin Xingjie followed the Beijing Dance Academy’s exchange group to the Vaganova Dance Academy for exchange and study at the age of sixteen. Fortunately, she was noticed by the teachers there and stayed on to study there for several years.

After returning to China this year, he planned to further his studies in Chinese classical dance, and Director Yu set his sights on Wang Qiang.

However, Liu Xiaoli's arrival prevented her from getting her wish.

Under the eaves after the rain, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

Zhan Wenlei looked at Liu Xiaoli worriedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, fearing that it would hurt Liu Xiaoli.

Wang Qiang, who was standing beside her, crossed his arms and looked at Liu Xiaoli calmly.

After a while, Liu Xiaoli broke the silence and said solemnly: "The top ballet academy... so what? Having such an opponent is a good thing for me. I will do my best."

"come on."

Wang Qiang chuckled. That’s exactly what we want!
"Come on, Xiaoli. I'm rooting for you."

Zhan Wenlei also waved her fist in encouragement.

"Come on, let's go meet the dean, and then Xiaoli can start training later."

Wang Qiang turned and walked towards the stairwell, waving to the two people behind him.

"coming."

……

"Boom boom boom!"

The three of them went upstairs to a small office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A strong voice came from inside the room.

The three of them entered the house.

A thin woman with gray hair and glasses was sitting behind her desk processing documents. When she saw Wang Qiang, she chuckled, "Director Wang, Wen Lei, you are here. This beautiful young girl must be Comrade Liu Xiaoli, right?"

"Hello, Dean Chen."

Liu Xiaoli bowed respectfully. The highly respected Dean Chen had shown up once when she came here last time.

This person is very famous in the dance world.

In particular, he made outstanding contributions in the field of dance education. President Chen Jinqing assisted Soviet dance experts in setting up the BJ Dance School (now Beijing Dance Academy).

She has led delegations to visit and perform abroad many times, and has visited Myanmar, Japan, France, Canada, the United States, North Korea and other countries, making important contributions to the exchange of dance between China and foreign countries.

In addition, she served as an editorial board member of the "Encyclopedia of China: Music and Dance Volume" and editor-in-chief of the ballet and European and American folk dance branches, and devoted her life to the development of dance education in New China.

In order to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Chen Jinqing's birth, later generations specially published "Memorial Collection of Dance Educator Chen Jinqing".

"Hello Comrade Liu Xiaoli, I have seen your performance in the May Fourth Youth Rehearsal, it was very good."

Dean Chen Jinqing looked her over and praised her kindly.

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm still a long way from there."

It seems that he is as kind and amiable as Aunt Wang said. Liu Xiaoli smiled, suppressed her previous unhappiness, and said modestly.

Everyone chatted for a while and that was the end of the meeting.

In order not to disturb Dean Chen's work, Wang Qiang took Liu Xiaoli to have a brief chat with the dean and then turned and left.

The three of them took the note signed by the dean and went to the management office of the dance studio to get a key.

"This is your dance room."

Wang Qiang led Liu Xiaoli into a small dance room, which was neither too big nor too small, and was completely suitable for Liu Xiaoli's training.

After Liu Xiaoli walked around curiously, she found that this place looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, she said with surprise, "Isn't this next to your dance studio, Aunt Wang?"

"Yes, it makes it easier for me to teach."

Wang Qiang chuckled.

"Yeah, we can go to and from school together later."

Zhan Wenlei was also very satisfied with this arrangement.

The two of them met each other by chance. They were of the same age, one was Cheng Kaiyan's boyfriend, and he was also her mother's future student.

With such a close relationship, it’s hard not to be familiar with each other.

The two have almost become good friends now, and in the future they may develop into close buddies who can talk about anything.

"Great!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled happily and gave a warm hug to Zhan Wenlei beside her.

A beautiful and mature young woman and a pure and lovely beautiful girl are close together, and the picture suddenly becomes beautiful.

Wang Qiang raised the soft corners of his mouth as he looked at the two of them.

……

Watching the two people leaving, Liu Xiaoli entered the small locker room in the dance studio alone, changed into tight training clothes, and began warm-up training.

In the mirror, the beautiful lady in a white dance costume gently turns her head left and right. The muscles of her slender neck can be seen stretching, and then she slowly tilts forward and backward, as if drawing a circle with her chin.

Gently raise your arms and place them over your shoulders to relax your shoulders.

Next, the arms, waist, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, calves, soles of feet, etc.

After the warm-up, the girl turned on the music and started practicing one by one according to the exam requirements.

From a drizzle to heavy rain.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Liu Xiaoli was so hot and sweaty from the exercise.

Near noon, she began to practice the movements in "Chang'e Flying to the Moon".

She lightly raised her arms, slowly spread them out, and her graceful body slowly rotated.

Her steps are light and graceful, as if she is walking in the clouds, very agile.

Touch the ground with your toes, bend your calves slightly, and jump up.

The whole person bent into a crescent moon in the air, with a beautiful posture.

She is ethereal, cold and otherworldly, and extremely arrogant.

She showed off her extreme flexibility and body curves.

Outside the glass window of the dance studio.

After the meeting, Wang Qiang silently looked at the girl dancing in the dance studio and nodded with satisfaction.

"Haha, Director Yu is probably going to be disappointed. This little Chang'e is not simple at all."

As he watched, Wang Qiang suddenly began to look forward to the day of the exam.
