Chapter 27: My Name is Xia Yehe

The dance studio Cindy took him to was a large courtyard, with a sign of "SH City Starlight Song and Dance Troupe" hanging outside, and one of the three-story buildings was full of dance practice rooms.

Cindy took Chen Nuo to find an empty classroom, first introduced some dance points, and then took him to practice one movement after another.

After practicing for about an hour, the two sat on the ground to rest. The sweat made Cindy's makeup a bit smudged. She looked in the mirror and sighed, "Your basic skills are better than I thought, you practiced before, right... Hey, thought I was going to see a big star today, so I specially dressed up."

Chen Nuo said while panting: "Let you down."

Cindy shook her head, "No." Silent for a while, then said: "You know Zhou Xun used to dance too, a troupe in the Yangtze River Delta, the level wasn't as good as our troupe."

Chen Nuo nodded and took a sip of mineral water.

After a while, Cindy stood up and said: "Come on, continue. The more tired you are, the easier it is to form muscle memory. Every drop of sweat you shed, you can have one more brain cell."

That day, Chen Nuo felt his head couldn't hold any more cells.

The next morning at 10:00, when Chen Nuo dragged his sore muscles to this classroom again, he saw a girl in her 20s pressing her legs inside.

The girl was wearing a tight black dance suit, wearing a pair of white silk stockings on her legs, her figure was very good, her legs were slender and straight, her buttocks were tight and round, she opened her right arm, her body pressed to the side, just like an elegant swan combing its feathers.

She was the only one in the dance studio, Cindy hadn't arrived yet, Chen Nuo prepared to press his legs too, doing a warm-up.

"Didn't expect you to be really punctual today."

A familiar voice sounded, Chen Nuo looked at the girl in surprise, "Are you?"

The girl's skin was as white as snow, revealing the delicacy and warmth of the Jiangnan water town, a typical Southern girl's appearance. Her eyebrows were like paintings, but there was a faint tiredness in them, and her bright eyes looked at Chen Nuo from the mirror.

Noticing his surprised expression, the girl raised her lips, picking up a smile, "Why, didn't recognize me?"

"Cindy?"

"Unhuh." The girl changed legs to press, "Don't call me Cindy today, my name is Xia Yehe, you can call me Teacher Xiao He."

Chen Nuo sized up the girl in front of him: "Teacher Xiao He, you seem to be quite different from yesterday?"

"I said it, I thought I was going to see a star yesterday, so I dressed up. As a result, it was all wasted." Xia Yehe complained.

"You call that dressing up?"

"Otherwise?" Xia Yehe glanced at him sideways.

Chen Nuo felt that after she took off her makeup, she was like a different person, not only her appearance changed, but her way of speaking also changed, with a difference of ten years before and after. "Teacher Xiao He, you shouldn't be much older than me, right?"

"You even ask a woman's age? Anyway, older than you! Go change your clothes quickly, there's a lot to learn today, can't leave class until you finish learning."

This morning, Chen Nuo practiced very seriously, and Xia Yehe also taught very attentively. During the process of practicing dance, others would come in from time to time. However, everyone danced their own, which could be considered not interfering with each other.

Time passed quickly to noon, Xia Yehe said: "Let's go, I'll treat you to our troupe's cafeteria at noon."

To be honest, although this cafeteria was not big, the taste was quite good, even more suitable for Chen Nuo's taste than the cafeteria of the Beijing Film Academy. After eating, Xia Yehe hesitated for a while and said: "I'm going back to the dormitory to take a nap, what about you?"

"It's okay, you go. I'll find a place to rest."

"That's good, 2:00 PM, see you in the classroom. Punctual, don't be late."

"OK, don't worry."

Xia Yehe left, Chen Nuo returned to the dance studio, found a corner, faced the wall, lay on his side on the ground, and fell asleep after a while.

In a daze, he felt someone touching his back. Chen Nuo woke up immediately, turned around, and saw a pair of legs wearing tight dance pants standing in front of him, less than two centimeters from his face.

Looking up along these straight long legs, he saw a delicate and charming face, a pair of black and white eyes looking at him in surprise. Who else could it be but Xia Yehe?

Chen Nuo rubbed his eyes, sat up, and said: "What time is it?"

"2:00."

The girl had changed into a dance suit and also showered, looking fresh and clean, and asked in a very unbelievable tone: "You slept on the floor at noon?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"You are an actor, how can you sleep on the floor?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said: "Yes, what's wrong? I'm not a big star, what's impossible?"

Xia Yehe looked at him steadily for a while, then said: "Then you don't mind it being hard."

Don't know if it was Chen Nuo's illusion, but more people came to this classroom to practice dance in the afternoon than in the morning.

Pressing legs, jumping, it seems they didn't practice anything famous, just doing some basic training, coming and going, very lively.

Until after 3:30 PM, there were fewer and fewer people. By about 5:00, finally only Chen Nuo and Xia Yehe were left.

Chen Nuo practiced very devotedly. He felt he had improved a bit more today than yesterday.

"Okay, let's stop here today."

Xia Yehe guided Chen Nuo to finish the last movement and nodded, "Learning progress is quite fast, I think it won't take three weeks."

"All thanks to Teacher Xiao He's good teaching." Chen Nuo wiped his sweat, walked to the back of the classroom, and drank a bottle of mineral water "gulp, gulp, gulp."

Xia Yehe walked over, don't know why, her expression was a bit strange, smiling but not smiling, "Let's go, I have something to do at the base side today, I can take you."

"Okay, thanks."

"Hmm."

The two changed clothes, Chen Nuo followed Xia Yehe into the car. At a traffic light on the road, Xia Yehe turned to look at Chen Nuo: "Do you feel there are a lot of people coming to our classroom to practice dance today?"

Chen Nuo was thinking about the role, didn't hear it, "Ah, what did you say?"

"Nothing. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, why?"

"There are a few girls in our troupe today who want me to introduce you to them."

"Forget it."

"Why?" Xia Yehe asked in surprise, "They are all very beautiful girls, and they are all very proper."

Proper my ass, they are all proper before going to bed. After going to bed, that kind of pestering and clinging, fish dying and net breaking might all come out. Do you think I don't know the nature of women?

Chen Nuo shook his head firmly and said: "Really no."

At this time, the green light was on, the QQ car started again, Xia Yehe said a bit irritably while driving: "I shouldn't have agreed earlier, sigh, I thought you would definitely be willing. Then what should I tell them? Just say you don't want to, then they will definitely think I am making trouble in it, and won't they hate me to death."

"Is it that serious? Just this little thing?"

"You don't understand, especially in a troupe like ours that is mainly female, interpersonal relationships are very complicated." Xia Yehe sighed a bit distressed.

"Eh... you shouldn't be not liking women, right?" Xia Yehe didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly asked.
