1979: My fiancée is a goddess

"tick~tick~"

The morning sun melted the snow on the trees.

Crystal-clear snowflakes fell onto the dark, old windowsill of the dance studio, making a crisp sound.

Inside the dance studio, soft, classical music flowed quietly.

The dusty radiator in the corner blew out dry, warm air, causing the girls to break out in a fine sheen of sweat.

"Deng deng deng-"

The girls, their slender toes encased in white socks, danced nimbly and joyfully on the old, soft wooden floor, their steps light and airy.

Their jet-black, smooth hair danced behind them, the ends brushing against the waists of the girls, who were wrapped in cool, thin, pure white and light pink leotards.

The warm winter sun, shimmering golden in the glistening snow, slanted down upon them, leaving behind graceful and captivating silhouettes.

Sunlight illuminated the dance studio, and a single sheet of paper covered most of it on a low bench against the wall.

"Xiaoli's dance is getting better and better. It's just a basic warm-up dance, but every move she makes already shows the grandeur of a master..."

It's such a pity. A year or two has passed, and I don't know if he'll be able to recover his form by then.

Wang Qiang quietly watched the girls dancing in front of him, especially the gentle girl in the sweater.

In her eyes, the sunlight was no more dazzling than the girls in front of her.

After watching for a while, Wang Qiang raised his wrist and thought to himself, "It's almost eleven o'clock. I wonder how Kaiyan's talk with the dean went. He should have a solution, right?"

Before they knew it, the music ended. Wang Qiang snapped out of his daze, stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Everyone should get some rest."

"Phew...I'm so tired."

"Have you all seen the movie Love Letter that came out a few days ago? It's so touching."

"Exactly, Teacher Cheng is so beautiful. That photo in the library alone could be recorded in the history of world cinema."

"Yeah, he's so handsome! I'm so envious of Sister Xiaoli. When will I be able to find a guy like Teacher Cheng?"

"That's it."

The girls breathed a sigh of relief, their once upright and beautiful shoulders slumped imperceptibly, and they gathered in small groups to relax their muscles, chattering about the newly released movie "Love Letter".

He would occasionally steal a glance at the girl leaning against the window frame, probably worried that she might get angry.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoli simply smiled in response to the envious and curious looks from her sisters.

However, no one noticed the fleeting hint of melancholy at parting that crossed Liu Xiaoli's eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be leaving this school soon.

"At the earliest, I will have to wait until the baby is born or the baby is one year old before I can feel at ease to continue my dance career."

Liu Xiaoli gently stroked her belly. The basic warm-up dance she had just done was quite gentle and slow, and its main function was to stretch her.

Therefore, she did not experience much discomfort or morning sickness.

The sunlight behind her fell on her pensive face, which was fair and delicate, with not a single hair visible.

Her friend Lin Xingjie, who was not far away, walked over and patted her shoulder lightly. "Xiaoli, help me relax. I haven't practiced for two or three days, and I'm so sore."

"it is good."

Liu Xiaoli snapped out of her daze and nodded with a smile.

She arrived late and hadn't practiced for long, but she felt alright at the moment.

Lin Xingjie lay on the ground, while Liu Xiaoli raised her toes and pressed and rubbed her legs to reduce the lactic acid buildup in her muscles.

"Ok!"

Lin Xingjie let out a soft, aching yet joyful groan, and asked without looking up, "Do you have time this afternoon? How about practicing 'The Butterfly Lovers' with me?"

"I'm afraid Xingjie won't work."

Liu Xiaoli said with difficulty that she didn't know whether she should tell her friend about this, so she hesitated.

"why is that?"

Lin Xingjie turned her head and looked over, asking incomprehension, "That day you went on a date with Cheng Kaiyan to see a movie, so what could be going on now? We're partners, and we'll be performing on stage soon."

"It's not that I don't want to agree, but..."

Liu Xiaoli squatted down and whispered a few words in her ear.

"What? Pregnant?"

Lin Xingjie's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Then you can't go to school to dance anymore and have to stay home to rest during your pregnancy. What about our dance? We promised to be lifelong partners..."

"I'm sorry, Xingjie..."

Liu Xiaoli said apologetically, "But Kaiyan said he'll find a way... It won't be long, just a year or two. I'll come back when the baby is a bit older..."

"Ugh……"

Lin Xingjie sighed, looked at her friend hesitantly, and after a moment of silence, finally spoke: "After all, Cheng Kaiyan is a famous writer, he should be able to handle this, right? But I still want to say... Xiaoli, you have sacrificed and given too much... Sometimes, you have to think about yourself."

“I know, but I trust him. He would never lie to me.”

Liu Xiaoli nodded, a calm smile appearing on her pretty face.

"Oh right, I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on getting pregnant!"

Seeing her like this, Lin Xingjie said nothing more, and a joyful smile appeared on her pretty and capable face as she offered her congratulations.

"Thank you, Xingjie!"

"How many months pregnant are you now? Your belly doesn't seem to have changed much." "Only two months. In another month or two, my belly should start to grow bigger."

"Two months?! You didn't just find out now, did you?"

"Yes. I felt nauseous every day for a while, and I only found out after I went to the hospital for a checkup."

"Xiaoli, can I touch it? It feels so amazing! Such a slim waist, such a flat stomach, who would have thought that a little life is growing inside..."

Lin Xingjie stood up, looking at Liu Xiaoli's belly with a mixture of amazement and curiosity, appearing hesitant to touch it.

"Yes... Xingjie, you'll have a day like this someday too."

"Maybe……"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Liu Xiaoli stood up and told the news to her classmates.

"Oh?! You're pregnant?"

"Congratulations, Xiaoli."

"Xiaoli, you can't skip class anymore, can you?"

"Xiaoli, you're our sophomore's dance principal. This year's New Year's Day performance depends on you and Xingjie..."

When the girls first heard the news, they were quite surprised. Pregnancy was a very distant topic for girls in their teens and early twenties.

However, everyone quickly realized that after this, they probably wouldn't have many more opportunities to see Liu Xiaoli, and they all gathered around her and started talking.

I don't know how much time passed, until the door to the dance studio was opened.

"Dean!"

Everyone turned to look and saw Dean Chen, with his gray hair, walk in, followed by a handsome young man outside the door, who was naturally Cheng Kaiyan.

Liu Xiaoli's gaze fell on the two of them, and a hint of unease and nervousness gradually rose in her gentle eyes.

Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan nodded to her from outside the door, revealing a familiar gentle smile, which reassured Liu Xiaoli.

After Dean Chen walked in, his gaze fell on Liu Xiaoli for a moment before he smiled and said to everyone, "Students, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Good news, but we already know the bad news!"

"The good news is that Comrade Cheng Kaiyan donated 100,000 yuan to our Beijing Dance Academy today to improve the school environment, upgrade dance equipment, and reward outstanding students... From now on, everyone will have the opportunity to receive scholarships as long as they excel in their studies."

"One hundred thousand! That many?!"

"Great!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the girls widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise. Their gazes then drifted to Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan outside the door.

There was excitement and joy, but also envy and jealousy.

It's clear to everyone that this donation was made by Cheng Kaiyan out of concern that Liu Xiaoli's dance career might be interrupted.

"Be good!"

"Now I finally understand where those ancient stories of people spending fortunes to win a smile from a beautiful woman came from..."

"My goodness, Xiaoli, your husband is so good to you. He donated 100,000 yuan just so you can continue your studies..."

Qin Yin held Liu Xiaoli's hand and said excitedly.

"hehe."

Liu Xiaoli smiled calmly, her face serene.

However, I couldn't help but feel a tremor in my heart, moved by the generosity of my little Cheng.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? This is capitalist behavior, using money for personal gain."

Of course, besides admiration and envy, some people also expressed concerns.

"The reason why the country does not allow college students to get married and pregnant is because our educational resources are strained. Comrade Cheng Kaiyan's donation is to expand educational resources..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingjie shook her head and explained, "Besides, it's just retaining my student status and suspending my studies to go home."

"That's it."

Since it was the last time they would see each other, they went out for a farewell lunch.

After a lively dinner, even Liu Xiaoli's eyes welled up with tears as she faced her classmates' farewells.

"Don't be so sad. It's not like I'm not dancing anymore. I'm just going back to rest during my pregnancy. I'll be back after I give birth, and we'll all see each other again in the future."

"Yeah yeah."

"Then we'll meet again someday. Goodbye!"

The girls stood on the street waving goodbye.

"Goodbye."

Liu Xiaoli sat on the back of the bicycle, her beautiful eyes red, waving goodbye to her friends and classmates.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

The bicycle bell rang, and the two figures slowly disappeared around the street corner.

A new life is just around the corner.

Until then……

She and her husband, Xiao Cheng, will live a warm, happy, and harmonious life together, holding their child. (End of Chapter)
