Salad Days - Chapter 7
The makeup remover water is cold, but Bai Jin warms his hands across the cotton pads. He is actually not proficient in any movements, but he can see it anyway, and he will not be like Jiang Shen. He wiped himself into a big face. .
Jiang Shen seemed to feel itchy when rubbed to the side of his eyebrows. He actually laughed twice.
Bai Jin looked at him: “What’s laughing?”
Jiang Shen was not so afraid at first, he hid: “Itch…”
Bai Jin frowned again and again: “Why are you so arrogant.”
Jiang Shen didn’t want to be arrogant again, so he stood still. He waited for Bai Jin to wipe his face with a cotton pad, and then rinsed the water and rinsed a few waves. After rushing, he raised his head, and approached Bai Jin and asked, “Is it clean?”
As soon as Bai Jin took his gloves, he went back. When he saw his face too close, he lifted his fists and pushed them gently against Jiang Shen’s cheeks. Jiang Shen was caught off guard and pouted with his glove: “…why?”
Bai Jinyi seems to think that he is more fun, and does not put his fist down, and continues to ask: “Aren’t you going to dance?”
Jiang Shen said vaguely: “Go after washing your face.”
Bai Jinyi: “How old are you?”
Jiang Shen: “I was 9 years old in June this year.”
Bai Jinyi: “Oh.”
Jiang Shen gave him a look: “Are you younger than me?”
“Who said.” Bai Jin put his fist down, “I’m 9 years old.”
Jiang Shen laughed. Although Bai Jinyi looked very fierce, he was not bad for people. He waited in the corridor for Jiang Shen to sort out things, and the two went to the classroom together. Bai Jinyi seemed to be curious about his dance shoes and kept looking down, and finally he couldn’t help but ask, “Is the piece in front of your shoes footless?”
Jiang Shen raised his foot: “I was still not used to it before, so I wouldn’t wear it for a long time.”
Bai Jin glanced at his shoes and said nothing.
Jiang Shen seems to want to talk to him a little more. After all, he is a boy in the dance classroom, and he can’t participate in many topics of the girls. Even if he likes to dance, it’s still lonely at the age of love. Thing.
Bai Jin didn’t talk much. He listened to Jiang Shen all the way. He came out of the boxing ring. He saw that Bai Jinyi and Jiang Shen were stunned.
“Why, what are you doing?” The other party looked very old and had a head higher than Jiang Shen, “Who is he?”
This is obviously asked by Bai Jinyi.
“The little swan next door.” Bai Jin answered, he looked at Jiang Shen, “You should go dancing.”
Jiang Shen said, “Oh,” he looked at the boy who had a head higher than him, and the other party was looking down at him with a smile.
Song Xin shouted at the door of the dance room: “Jiang Shen! Come in!”
Jiang Shen ran quickly: “Come.” He couldn’t help but look back as he ran. Bai Jinyi seemed to know that he would look back, and raised his eyebrows with a remarkable expression.
Song Xin took Jiang Shen into the classroom and was not very happy: “I told you not to go find them.”
Jiang Shen returned the makeup remover and cotton pads to Teacher Lin: “Just happened, who is that tall boy?”
Song Xin whispered close to his ear and said, “This year’s city boxing competition youth group champion is named Lai Song.” After thinking about it, Song Xin continued, “He is older than us, and the second or third grade is not. Go get him.”
Jiang Shen agreed with a sentence of “OK” and was surrounded by girls standing in a row. Teacher Lin explained a few things to learn today, so that the students all dispersed and warmed up. She called Jiang Shen forward and said gently: “Today is about to start pressing on the toes. If you look back, tell the teacher.”
Jiang Shen seemed to understand: “What is the tip of the toe?”
Teacher Lin explained: “The ballet has a foothold, but it can’t stand up all at once.” She motioned Jiang Shen to hold the pole and raise one leg. “The calf is straight…well, the instep is also straight.” Her Wrapped Jiang Shen’s instep with his palm, and pressed slowly inward with his toes, “Keeping tight, hold on, okay.”
Jiang Shen held his breath and vigorously straightened his toes. He didn’t know how long it lasted before Mr. Lin let go of his legs.
“You really can bear it.” Teacher Lin looked at him and smiled, “You can say uncomfortable words.”
Jiang Shen blushed: “Not uncomfortable…”
Teacher Lin shook her head. She motioned to Jiang Shen to straighten her legs and sit down: “Take off your shoes.”
Jiang Shen took off his shoes obediently. When Teacher Lin saw his toes, he said, “What happened to the mother’s toes?”
Jiang Shen: “It’s no pain at home today.”
Teacher Lin sighed, and it was hard to get serious: “In the future, your toes are your life, but you must protect it.”
Jiang Shen nodded quickly. He continued to tighten his toes according to Teacher Lin’s request, bending his toes as far as possible into the heart of his sole.
“I have to practice this every day in the future.” Teacher Lin held his heels and said slowly, “After going home, eat more chicken and beef, boiled, don’t put oil, less salt, more eggs, less sugar, and more Drink milk…remembered?”
Jiang Shen reacted: “Ah?”
Teacher Lin smiled: “Forget it, I’ll talk to your mother.”
Tan Lingling came to deliver dishes in the afternoon and came to the dance room to see her son practice dancing. Teacher Lin brought a laptop with the dance clip of “Two Springs Reflecting the Moon” and taught a few children the basic figure.
Jiang Shen was very serious in learning. His arms were soft and powerful, and the arc of rotation was very beautiful. He practiced a few more times, and he really looked like that. Tan Lingling looked at the window for a while and couldn’t help laughing. She leaned over to the door and yelled Teacher Lin a few times. The other party saw her and walked out.
“This is the dish I just collected at home today.” Tan Lingling enthusiastically pushed a few packages of seasonal dishes in her hand. “Teacher Lin, you can take it back and try it.”
Teacher Lin is really embarrassed: “Sister Lingling, you send such a large amount every time you come, how sorry I am.”
Tan Lingling: “I’m so sorry, our family really wants you to take care of it.”
“Jiang Shen is so obedient, and I am happy to take care of it.” In order to reassure Tan Lingling, Mr. Lin still collected the vegetables and turned back to the other party to tell Jiang Shen what to eat. Tan Lingling was surprised: ” Want to eat so much?”
Teacher Lin couldn’t help crying: “It’s not like eating so much in one meal, it’s just that we will focus on these in the future.”
Tan Lingling frowned thoughtfully, and Teacher Lin persuaded: “Dancing also requires strength. Eating these boys can only grow strength and muscles, so Jiang Shen must insist.”
At the end of the afternoon, Jiang Shen took the initiative to stay and clean the dance room. He took advantage of these times every day to practice basic skills again, stepped on the tempo while humming his tune, and finally saw Bai Jinyi passing the boxing gym when returning the bucket.
Lai Song was also there. Both of them were on the boxing ring. Lai Song held the baffle in his hand. Bai Jin waved his fist very fast. The sound of hitting the baffle was scary. As for the others, Jiang Shen also Unable to understand, he leaned over and looked inside for a while, and Lai Song found him first.
“Little Swan.” Lai Song would show two obvious tiger teeth when he smiled. “Why are you here?”
As soon as Bai Jin turned his head, he was sweating again, raising his arms and pursing with his sleeves.
Jiang Shen: “I’m cleaning and I’m ready to go.”
Lai Song walked to the edge of the boxing platform, and half of his body was hung on the rope, beckoning him to come over.
Jiang Shen put down the barrel and walked slowly.
As soon as Bai Jin took a kettle to drink water, he asked, “Just you alone.”
Jiang Shen looked at his kettle curiously: “Yes.”
Lai Songxiao: “What do you think?”
Jiang Shen looked back embarrassedly, and Lai Song came to understand and joked: “Have you ever seen a kettle like that? The Bai Jins are rich, and all the water is branded.”
Bai Jin kicked him: “You talk too much.”
Lai Song didn’t hide, and scolded: “I’m your predecessor, be respectful.”
Jiang Shen could not intervene because of his two noises. He was standing dry. Lai Song suddenly looked at him: “Depending on your family, should it be normal?”
Jiang Shen’s face was a little hot. In fact, he spoke with a little accent, and he couldn’t even speak well. He knew what was happening at home, but he had never thought about it, and he didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with poverty, but When Lai Song was so straightforward to get on the countertop, the situation was different.
“You and Bai Jin are quite strange.” Lai Song was not malicious. He pointed at each other. “As the saying goes, the children of the rich don’t punch, and the children of the poor don’t dance. Now.”
Bai Jin said, “Why don’t he dance?”
Lai Song: “Do boys jump in Swan Lake? Have you seen them?”
“Yes, yes.” Jiang Shen stammered abruptly, “I, I checked.”
Bai Jinyi and Lai Song glanced at each other, and their eyes fell on Jiang Shen’s face.
Jiang Shen blushed again, and said very seriously: “I will learn it later, and I will show it to you.”
