Jingxuan rode her motorcycle through the bustling streets of Cuigu Town, filled with anticipation and nervousness. She drove carefully, afraid of missing that familiar yet strange place—the Valley Rhyme Dance Troupe. Although it was only her second time searching for this location, her impression from the last visit remained vivid.
After turning a few corners and passing various shops and stalls, Jingxuan finally spotted the familiar sign—the Valley Rhyme Dance Troupe. The troupe was located above a hot pot restaurant on the first floor, which today had a sign indicating it was closed, leaving the entrance quiet and empty.
Jingxuan parked her motorcycle neatly on the side of the street, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her nerves. Then, she gently walked up the stairs leading to the dance troupe. This short journey felt like a long one to her, with each step filled with the unknown and anticipation.
As Jingxuan ascended the stairs step by step, her heartbeat gradually quickened. She didn't know what this interview would bring, but she knew it was an important step towards her past and the potential future. In Jingxuan's heart, there was both a deep love for dance and an infinite imagination for the future.
As Jingxuan slowly ascended the stairs to the second floor, she could hear voices and conversations coming from the dance studio. Her heart was filled with nervousness and curiosity as she gathered her courage and continued forward. As her figure appeared at the doorway, some of the students in the classroom turned to look at her with expressions of confusion and curiosity.
At that moment, a male teacher walked out of the classroom. Seeing Jingxuan standing at the door looking somewhat puzzled and hesitant, he kindly approached her. The male teacher first said to the students in the classroom, "Continue practicing, I will be back." Then he turned to Jingxuan and asked, "Hello, who are you? Do you need to find someone?"
Jingxuan cleared her throat slightly nervously, then replied somewhat awkwardly, "I... I'm looking for Lin Linda teacher. I came today to understand the situation here and see if I can join the dance troupe for training." Her voice carried a hint of anticipation and uncertainty.
Upon hearing Jingxuan's words, the male teacher smiled and seemed to welcome her arrival, "Oh, I see. Lin Linda teacher happens to be out today, but you can come in and have a look around. I am one of the dance teachers here, Chen Mingwei. Are you interested in dance? We offer training in various dance styles here." His tone was filled with friendliness and welcome.
Jingxuan Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, felt grateful for the enthusiasm of teacher Chen Mingwei. Following the teacher into the classroom, everything before her made her heart beat faster. The atmosphere of the dance studio made her feel both familiar and novel, and reignited her love for dance once again.
Guided by teacher Chen Mingwei, Jingxuan entered the spacious and bright dance studio. Before her eyes was a lively scene: students were focused on practicing various dance movements, their figures reflected in the mirrors of the classroom, each movement appearing so vivid and full of vitality.
Chen Mingwei noticed Jingxuan's curiosity and interest in everything, so he explained, "Teacher Lin Linda is a bit busy today because our dance troupe has a performance later. She's gone to take care of some things, but she'll be back soon. We have a wide variety of dance styles here, from ballet to modern dance, we cover them all."
Jingxuan nodded, her gaze wandering around the classroom. Every student practicing made her feel familiar, as if she saw her own past shadow. A deep sense of nostalgia and longing welled up in her heart, and her love for dance was awakened once again.
Chen Mingwei noticed the change in Jingxuan's expression and gently said, "If you are interested in joining our dance troupe, you can wait for Lin Linda to come back and talk to her in detail. Whether you want to learn to dance or just want to experience it, we are very welcoming."
Jingxuan was indescribably excited, she thanked Chen Mingwei for the invitation and decided to express her thoughts to Lin Linda after she returned. She quietly sat in a corner of the classroom, observing the students' practice, filled with infinite longing and anticipation for dance in her heart.
Not long after, Teacher Lin Linda hurried back to the classroom, carrying some props for the performance. As soon as she entered, she noticed Jingxuan and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Jingxuan stood up and walked towards Teacher Lin Linda.
Teacher Lin Linda looked at Jingxuan with a comforting and encouraging light in her eyes. She said softly, "Hi! What's wrong? Do you want to give it a try?" Her voice conveyed a warm invitation, making Jingxuan feel a little reassured.
Jingxuan nodded, with a hint of shyness in her tone: "Hello, teacher. My name is Liu Jingxuan. I'm really sorry for suddenly disturbing you yesterday." Her words were filled with sincerity and apology, and then she continued, "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, and with the encouragement of my classmates, I decided to give it a try after all."
Lin Linda nodded, smiling in response, "Hmm, you have a great group of friends!" Her tone was full of praise, and then she made a suggestion, "Today, our dance troupe has a performance. Would you like to come with us? You can also get to know the habits of our dance troupe."
When Teacher Lin Linda proposed that Jingxuan participate in the dance troupe activity, a wave of struggle surged in Jingxuan's heart. Her thoughts quickly turned to the afternoon's mandatory class, an important course she knew she shouldn't miss. However, faced with this rare opportunity to reconnect with her once beloved dance, her innermost being was deeply moved once again.
Jingxuan's heart was filled with hesitation as her eyes wandered between the expectations of Teacher Lin Linda and the path outside the classroom leading back to the school. But deep down, her passion for dance was quietly awakening. In the end, she made a brave decision.
She took a deep breath and firmly said to Teacher Lin Linda, "Teacher, I've made up my mind. I want to go see the dance troupe's event. I know there's a mandatory class in the afternoon, but I don't want to miss this opportunity." Her voice carried a hint of determination and a touch of nervousness, as this was a small gamble on her future.
Teacher Lin Linda, upon hearing this, showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "Alright, I fully support your decision. Today's event will be very interesting and also a great learning opportunity," she said, filled with encouragement and support.
Jingxuan's nervousness is slowly being replaced by excitement and anticipation. She knows that there may be consequences for skipping class, but the opportunity to dance again and feel the spotlight on stage seems insignificant to her. She follows teacher Lin Linda step by step towards the stage she once dreamed of.
