The Most Simple Wish

The dressing room can accommodate more than ten people to put on and remove makeup at the same time. Tao Huizhen came in and was about to sit down to take off her make-up. She noticed a person standing by the front door of the dressing room. Her thin back was facing Tao Huizhen. She was wearing a gray white long windbreaker, and her thin legs were wrapped in blue jeans.

This person is very thin, which makes people worry that she will be blown away by the wind. Tao Huizhen raised her eyes and wanted to say hello and ask if she was looking for someone. Inadvertently, when she saw this man's pale wrist exposed outside her sleeve, her eyes fell on her ivory watch. Suddenly, Tao Huizhen felt as if she had been pulled by something on her chest and swallowed a mouthful of air unconsciously.

My mind went back to the year when I graduated from high school.

"Wen... Wen Xiu?" Tao Huizhen asked.

Wenxiu looked back and saw that Tao Huizhen was back. There was a touch of surprise in her eyes. Her sharp jaw trembled slightly. The two people's eyes met each other. In recent years, they had never met each other, and they had been contacting each other by telephone, listening to each other's voices. Now, the real voice is in my ear, and it's combined with the voice on the phone.

Tao Huizhen's eyelids beat: "it's really you, you..."

Wenxiu hesitated a little and took the lead in holding Tao Huizhen's hands: "Huizhen! You didn't expect me to be here, did you? "

"Yes, aren't you supposed to be in Australia? When did you come back? And to the place where I perform. This... "Tao Huizhen was unprepared at all. A few days ago, she was on the phone with Wenxiu, who was in Australia. My best friend, who hasn't seen each other in her early four years, suddenly appears in front of her from the far southern hemisphere. Tao Huizhen's small face doesn't know what to do, and her expression is good. Canthus for a moment can not help but a little wet, showing a smile with a rush.

It's like a dream.

"The plane arrived in Shenyang at ten o'clock. I called my aunt and said that you were in Shengjing Grand Theater, so I came here quietly. I came back this time just to give you a surprise, except you don't know that I came back, everyone knows." Wenxiu complacently said: "I asked for a long vacation. The main thing I came back was to meet you, a big dancer. Now you are quite different from before. You are worthy of being the soul of the dance company."

"If I know you're back, I'll pick you up." Tao Huizhen gradually deal with the mood, looking at Wenxiu.

"With you? I'm familiar with it

"When you left, you were a high school graduate. Do you know how much has changed in China in recent years? Shenyang's subways are already under construction. "

"Yes? I should have stayed at home if I knew it was good. We don't see each other for many years. "

"You were in the theater just now? When I jump. "

"I'm here." Wen Xiu replied. Tao Huizhen's radical dance on the stage just now still reverberates in her mind. Tao Huizhen has been learning classical dance since junior high school. At that time, Wenxiu never imagined that Tao Huizhen would dance on the stage with 1800 seats. However, she is not surprised to see Tao Huizhen become the leading role on the stage today. It seems that Tao Huizhen was born like this.

"You've lost so much weight. There's a banker's temperament in my eyes. "

Tao Huizhen looked at Wen Xiu's sharp chin and said jokingly.

In addition to being skinny and lean, Wenxiu has also undergone tremendous changes. Just like her own changes in the past four years and the changes in China as a whole, Wenxiu has become more mature and stable.

Wenxiu has an air of returnees. She is wrapped in a windbreaker. It seems that she is not suitable for the embrace of her mother.

Wenxiu was embarrassed and said with a smile: "you are a big dancer, the soul of the dance company. You can really describe it. Do you know why I am so thin? I'm homesick when I've just been abroad. I can't get used to eating, I can't sleep, and I haven't grown back since I lost weight. "

Tao Huizhen stares at Wen Xiu and says, "that, Wen Xiu."

"What's the matter?"

"I think you are my best friend. Come all the way back to see me. I didn't expect that you would come back suddenly. " Tao Huizhen's eyes reflect her sincerity, holding Wenxiu's hand, thin and cool. Looking at the back of her hand reminds her of the frostbite of Wenxiu's hand when they talked on the phone a year ago.

Wen Xiu looked at Tao Huizhen in surprise: "what are you talking about? I haven't seen you for four years. I also want to see you, don't I? I also want to see my hometown. I'm always in a foreign country. I don't feel at home at all. In recent years, thanks to you talking with me on the phone, we have to keep in touch with each other all the time. "

After studying and working in Australia for so many years, Wenxiu always has a special feeling. She looks at the sea line of Australia from afar and thinks of a word in her heart - wanderer.

"Of course, how long will you be back this time?" Tao Huizhen asked.

"Look, a month, or more."

Tao Huizhen has something hidden in her heart. She nods gently. She still doesn't know how to mention it to Wen Xiu. It's a happy thing for Wen Xiu to come back to see her. She doesn't want to be disappointed, but she has to say it. She raises her chin and wriggles around her mouth.

Before waiting for Tao Huizhen to open her mouth, Wenxiu stirred up the topic again: "I haven't seen you dancing for more than four years, almost five years."

Tao Huizhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat down on the chair and began to remove her make-up. She then said, "the last time you saw me dancing, when we were in high school, in the small theater of our school's art department, I remember that few people saw it, only you saw it from the beginning to the end. At that time, I was practicing dancing in the dance room, and you were still with me... In winter, there was no heating in the dance room, I jump all over with sweat, your frozen lips are white. It's shaking all the time. "

"Huizhen, you have a good memory." Tao Huizhen suddenly mentions it, which makes Wenxiu fall into memory. Otherwise, she can't remember it at all. At that time, Shenyang was far colder in winter than it is now. At night, it's not uncommon for the outside air to reach minus 30 degrees. There is no heating in the dance room. Even in the classroom, it's not as good as the current school classroom. With heating and air conditioning, students stay in a warm place.

Wenxiu is most afraid of the cold. She wears a knitted hat and knitted hands, which her mother knitted for her. Having been waiting for Tao Huizhen to practice enough in the dance room, they locked the door and left. At the gate of the dormitory building, Tao Huizhen holds Wenxiu's pale face with her steaming hands, and the cold touch is conveyed to Tao Huizhen's heart.

Wen Xiu looked back: "Huizhen has always been a hardworking person and more energetic than me... It seems that I was born with chills and low temperatures. Fortunately, you are like a fire beside me. Ha ha, your cheeks are pink, but I am white."

"But no matter how I learn to dance, there is a smell of earth." Tao Huizhen said with self mockery: "when I don't dance, others will think I am a sheep herder."

At this moment, Tao Huizhen finished her make-up, put her platinum chain on her neck and looked at Wenxiu firmly. Wen Xiu giggled and could not help thinking of Tao Huizhen as a shepherd in the mountains.

"But you're a good dancer, much better than you were in high school. You've matured and grown up. Have your own passion in the dance. There's also your unyielding style. The eyes are like black gems, and the dancing posture is hard and soft. Tut tut. " Wenxiu looked into Tao Huizhen's eyes: "Huizhen, you will become a world-famous dance master."

"Wenxiu, but I... I've quit my job as an actor in the dance company and don't want to dance any more." Tao Huizhen finally said: "today is my last dance, farewell to the stage."

Wenxiu has always been proud of her dance career. From the first moment she saw Wenxiu, Tao Huizhen was thinking about how to talk to her, and could not find a suitable entry point.

"Going to a bigger stage?" Wenxiu takes Tao Huizhen's words completely as another meaning, and she also nods her head. Well, I don't think Shenyang Dance Troupe can accommodate Tao Huizhen.

"You're half right. It's more spacious, but there's no stage." Tao Huizhen's eyes rippled with the expression of her wish: "it's supporting education. I've decided to do it. All the procedures have been completed. It's a small mountain village in the mountains of Yunnan."

"Ah?" Wenxiu's face suddenly froze, opened her mouth and let out a cry that she felt shocked her ears. Even the formalities have been completed, which shows that Tao Huizhen is determined. She stared at Tao Huizhen with an incomprehensible expression: "do you have a fever in your head? You are crazy? It's so good, you quit! "

"My parents said the same thing." Tao Huizhen nodded blandly.

"You've been dancing since primary school, winter and summer. I don't know if it's true that you love dancing so much."

"If I don't love it, I will study finance with you and accompany you abroad." Tao Huizhen raised her head and said loudly, "but at that time, I didn't know the meaning of supporting education. I didn't know what it was like to not know the words. When books were placed in front of me and the world was placed in front of me, I couldn't read... What it was like."

Wen Xiu twisted her eyebrows, and her sharp jaw made her tremble violently. It suddenly occurred to her that in July last year, when it was snowing heavily in Australia, Tao Huizhen came back from public welfare performances in several provinces in Northwest and southwest China and told her what she had seen and heard along the way, especially on the issue that children in mountain villages could not go to school.

At that time, Wenxiu thought that Tao Huizhen was just feeling in her heart. Unexpectedly, a year later, this idea took root in her heart. Can this kind of decision really make Tao Huizhen as happy as her dream?

Tao Huizhen's mood, she is not unable to understand, why she has to go abroad to study when she leaves her hometown, just to learn more and better knowledge and culture, when a book "the old man and the sea" is placed in front of her, some people say, look at this book, it is written in the human nature can not be expensive persistence, people can fail, but can not be defeated. But those words look like heavenly script in the eyes, which is really despairing.

Like planets hundreds of millions of light-years away from the earth, humans can see them through telescopes, but they will never reach them.
