Chapter 55

Three days later, Lin Jinse returned to the country first, but Jian Yishi couldn't go back with her because of a temporary decision by the team to extend the exchange time for another two weeks.

As soon as Lin Jinse returned to Nanxi, she went back to work the next day.

The Nanxi Opera and Dance Theater where she works is the place where her mother used to work. Later, her mother was recruited by the Department of Dance of Nantah University before leaving the theater.

When Lin Jinse graduated with a master’s degree from Nantah University, the leaders and teachers of the Dance Department of Nantah University intended to let her stay at the school, but she felt that her dancing skills still needed to be honed and improved, and she was not qualified for the position of a teacher, so she did not stay, but applied for NanxiOpera and Dance Theater and successfully admitted.

Nanxi Opera and Dance Theater has been established for 69 years. It has had a glorious history. It has achieved remarkable results in various international and domestic professional competitions and won nearly 500 awards.But in the past 20 years, it has been going downhill, the brain drain is serious, and the results of various competitions are not ideal.

Lin Jinse joined the Song and Dance Theater 2 years ago, won 4 golds and 1 silver in many international and domestic competitions in the following year, and immediately became a pillar of the theater.

In the first half of this year, Lin Jinse accidentally injured her ankle while practicing dance, and she had to rest for three months to recover. Later, because of Lin Langshan's illness and marriage, she took two months off and missed many competitions.

This made the theater finally have some signs of a comeback and disappeared.

So just as Lin Jinse stepped into the gate of the unit, her cell phone rang. It was Tang Ning, the director of their theater.

"Xiao Lin, come back." Tangning's gentle voice sounded like a spring breeze.

Lin Jinse said "hmm", "I'm back."

"Then come to my office," Tangning said with a smile.

"Okay." Lin Jinse agreed softly.

Five minutes later, Lin Jinse knocked on Tangning's office door.

"Please come in." Tangning's voice came.

Lin Jinse turned the door open and went in, only to find that Tangning had already made tea and was waiting for her.

"Come on, sit down." Tangning smiled and waved to her.

Lin Jinse walked over with a smile and sat down on the sofa.

Holding a cup of tea in her hand, Tangning handed it to her, "Come, try the tea I bought recently. This is not green tea, but vine tea. It is rich in nutrition, and it can also improve sleep and beautify the skin."

Lin Jinse took it respectfully, "Thank you, Dean," and brought it to his mouth, and drank a cup, which tasted a little bitter.

"Is it a bit bitter?" Tangning asked with a smile.

Lin Jinse nodded and looked at Tangning. She was already fifty years old, but she looked to be in her thirties. Her skin was fair and delicate, her figure was tall and slender, and she was well maintained.

She used to be a dancer and was her mother's classmate. Whenever she looked at her, Lin Jinse would think of her mother. If her mother was alive, she would be as beautiful and elegant as her at her age.

"What about now?" Tangning asked with a smile as she took a sip herself.

Lin Jinse was surprised to find that after about half a minute, her mouth was spitting, and the sweet taste filled her mouth, which was the sweetest among all the teas she had ever drunk.

"Very sweet." Lin Jinse licked her lower lip and said with a smile.

Tangning poured her another cup and said with a smile, "I'll say it's not bad. From now on, come to Auntie Tang's place for tea more often."

Lin Jinse smiled and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Tang."

The relationship between the two suddenly drew closer, from the leader and the subordinate to the elder and the junior.

Tangning chatted with her about the family affairs first, and then complained, "Jinse, you are so serious, you didn't notify me in advance of such a big event, and you just got married quietly, and you still think I am youAunt Tang?"

Lin Jinse had no choice but to explain concisely: "Aunt Tang, I was wrong about getting married, because my grandfather was sick and refused to have surgery, and he would only go to the hospital for surgery if I got married, so I had to get married in a hurry, and the wedding invited someRelatives and some old colleagues of Grandpa. We plan to hold another wedding after we finish our work, and we must tell you in advance..."

Only then did Tangning laugh, "That's a deal."

After a few cups of tea, Tangning calmed down and started to get down to the topic, "How is your dance creation going?"

"It has already taken shape, and I also want to ask Dean Tang for some advice." Lin Jinse also changed her role immediately.

Tangning nodded, "Okay, I have time this afternoon, I'll watch your dance."

Lin Jinse said yes, and Tang Ning said, "Next year will be the 70th anniversary of our theater, and plans for the theater's celebration have also come out. In addition to holding large-scale performances and public welfare performances, next year's major international and domestic competitions, we will do our best to be successful.The harvest, the 70th anniversary of the gift."

Lin Jinse nodded while listening to her.

"But now there is a shortage of talents in the academy. There are only two strengths in classical dance and modern dance. You have you in classical dance and Ni Juan in modern dance. But it is not easy to win awards, especially the five-year "Camellia Cup".It's been almost ten years since we made it to the finals, to be on the safe side, Secretary Ni and I decided to have another duet," Tangning said.

Lin Jinse is so smart. Tangning came to her and told her about the pas de deux. She must have hoped that she would act as a female dancer. The problem is that there seems to be no suitable male dancers in the theater. There are not many male dancers in the theater, so they can only deal with some literary artsFor performances, going to participate in the competition is really too much to provoke.

"I am willing to cooperate with the arrangement in the theater." Lin Jinse said with a smile.

Tangning was very happy and relieved. She patted her on the shoulder. She raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes sparkled. She said excitedly, "Don't worry about the male dancer. I scooped up Qi Xingye!"

Lin Jinse widened her eyes slightly, "Qi Xingye was poached by you?! How did you poach him?"

You must know that Qi Xingye is a member of the Capital National Team and has won numerous awards. Although he is not the chief male dancer, with his talent, he will definitely become the chief male dancer in time.

Tangning was very satisfied with Lin Jinse's reaction, and continued excitedly, "It took me a lot of effort, thanks to our outstanding people in Nanxi. He is also from Nanxi. His parents don't want to stay with him in the capital. He is also a filial child.Intention to come back..."

"By the way, for this duet dance, Xingye plans to create it himself, and he proposed that you be the female dancer," Tangning said again.

Lin Jinse nodded and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.

Tangning said "Come in", then raised her wrist to look at her watch, her smile widened, and she said to Lin Jinse, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. He is a good boy who is punctual."

The door was turned open, and a tall, slender, handsome boy stood at the door, and it was Qi Xingye who came.

Qi Xingye walked in, and he nodded to Tangning, "Dean Tang."

Tangning smiled and nodded at him, "Xingye is here, and he said it will be half past nine, so it's really close to a second."

Qi Xingye smiled, turned to look at Lin Jinse again, and stretched out his hand towards her, "Sister, long time no see."

Lin Jinse took a step forward, held his hand, and said with a smile, "Yes, long time no see."

She and Qi Xingye met three years ago, when she was still in the second year of graduate school and met him when they participated in the competition, but they didn't talk much the first time; later, after she entered the theater and participated in the competition again, they met againHe, he took the initiative to chat with her, saying that he is also from Nanxi, and the two chatted very speculatively, so they added WeChat.

Qi Xingye is one year younger than Lin Jinse, and after getting acquainted with her, he started calling her sister.

Although Qi Xingye has a delicate appearance and a gentle personality, he is a very explosive dancer. Lin Jinse admires him very much.

When Qi Xingye shook hands with her, he touched the diamond ring on her left ring finger. He couldn't help looking down, covering the look of loneliness in his eyes. When he raised his head, he restored his elegant smile, "Sister, you're married!"?”

Lin Jinse couldn't help smiling sweetly, "Yes."

Tang Ning sat the two of them down and said, "It just so happens that there is a charity performance at the Nanxi Grand Theater this weekend, and I want to add a pas de deux, let's talk about Liang Zhu's rooftop reunion. You two should get to know each other better first.Ye also took the time to create, how about it?"

Qi Xingye nodded in agreement, and Lin Jinse naturally had no objection.

Tang Ning said to Qi Xingye: "Xingye, you just came here, you can ask Jinse if you have any questions." Then she looked at Lin Jinse, "Jinse, take Xingye with you and communicate more, I look forward to a wonderful spark from your collision.”

The two looked at each other, nodded and smiled tacitly.

"Secretary Yin specifically told me that when she comes back, I will hold a small welcome ceremony for you this Friday," Tangning continued.

Qi Xingye said with a smile, "Thank you, Dean Tang and Secretary Yin, for letting you bother."

"Why are you so polite, we are a family now." Tangning laughed.

Coming out of Tangning's place, Qi Xingye said to Lin Jinse, "Sister, I will trouble you a lot from now on."

Lin Jinse said with a slight smile, "It's okay, even if it's troublesome, Dean Tang said that we are a family now, so don't be too polite."

Qi Xingye nodded with a smile, his eyes shining brightly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first." Lin Jinse took Qi Xingye around the theater and went to various theater troupes, including opera troupes, dance troupes, symphony orchestras, national orchestras, etc., and met with colleagues.Say hello.

Then the two returned to the dance troupe and began to rehearse "The Butterfly Lovers".

Both Lin Jinse and Qi Xingye are extremely dedicated, loving and even obsessed with dancing. After a day of hard work, the two of them basically got in touch with each other and had a tacit understanding.

In the evening, the sky changed suddenly, with dark clouds, and soon it began to rain outside, and the wind blew open the windows, making crackling noises.

Lin Jinse just woke up from the dance, and looked up at the wall clock. It was almost 7 o'clock, and it was a while since she got off work.

"Xingye, let's stop here today. It's time to go back after get off work." Lin Jinse turned off the music.

Qi Xingye wiped off his sweat and agreed.

Lin Jinse went to take a shower, changed into her own clothes, took the elevator, went down to the theater hall, and saw Qi Xingye standing in the corridor.

"Xingye, why haven't you left yet?" Lin Jinse asked.

Qi Xingye glanced at the sky, and said sadly: "It's raining and there's a traffic jam. I booked a few online car-hailing cars, but they were all cancelled. I'm considering whether to go to the subway in the rain or wait for the car."

Lin Jinse said: "I'm driving, I'll see you off."

Qi Xingye immediately beamed with joy, "Okay, then thank you, sister."

Lin Jinse smiled, "You don't have to be so polite."

Lin Jinse opened the umbrella, Qi Xingye took the umbrella thoughtfully, and held it above their heads.

Lin Jinse didn't say anything, and walked into the rain with him.Fortunately, the umbrella is relatively large, and it is not crowded if two people hold it together.

After getting into the car, Lin Jinse said, "Where do you live? Let me guide you."

"Sister, do you want to go home for dinner? If you don't come back, why don't we have a meal nearby first, there will be traffic everywhere at this time. I also want to ask you some questions." Qi Xingye suggested.

Lin Jinse thinks about it too, at this point, grandpa and the others should have eaten early, "That's fine," then asked: "Do you have any taboos?"

"No, it's fine, just choose what my sister usually likes." Qi Xingye said very obediently.

Lin Jinse thought about it for a while, and decided to take him to a nearby Hong Kong-style restaurant with a list of flavors and a good environment.

While driving, Lin Jinse's WeChat video call rang.

Lin Jinse glanced at it, and saw that it was Jian Yishi's call, and she couldn't help but hook her lips.

There was a traffic light just ahead, so she parked the car, put on the handbrake, and picked up her cell phone to answer the call.

Jian Yishi's handsome face immediately appeared in the camera, and Lin Jinse was afraid that he would say something "crumbly". After all, there were other people in the car, so she hurriedly said, "Ah Shi, I'm driving and I'm going toAfter dinner, I'll call you when I get home later."

Jianyi heard her say that she was driving. He knew that her driving skills were too poor to be distracted from driving, and he saw the weather forecast. It would rain in Nanxi today, so he said: "Okay, then you can concentrate on driving. Go homecontact me."

"En." Lin Jinse pulled the corners of her lips, and when she was about to hang up the phone, Qi Xingye suddenly said, "Sister, the green light is about to change."

Lin Jinse quickly hung up the phone, put down the handbrake, and started the car. A second later, the red light turned green, and she slowly followed the car in front of her.

During the meal, Qi Xingye told her about the inspiration for his pas de deux, "Sister, I remember you said before that I liked Nalan Rongruo's words, and I studied them specially later, and I especially liked his song, LifeIf it's just like the first time I saw it. Dean Tang told me about the 'Camellia Cup' competition, and I wanted to create a dance with the theme of Nalan's words..."

Lin Jinse agreed with and was very interested in his ideas, and the two chatted deeply.

After Lin Jinse and Qi Xingye had dinner, they sent him home again, only to find that his home was in the neighborhood opposite her home.

After returning home, Lin Jinse went to chat with her grandfather for a while, then went back to her bedroom, and immediately made a wechat video call to Jian Yishi.

Jane answered almost instantly, it seems that he has been waiting for her call almost all the time.

After connecting to the video call, Lin Jinse seemed to be in a coffee shop when he saw Jian Yi. He was sitting by the window, holding a mobile phone in one hand, frowning slightly, as if full of sadness, and looked at her quietly, not knowing what to do.say.

"Don't you need to train now?" Lin Jinse asked.

Jian Yishi didn't answer, but asked instead: "Sister, why did you come back? I have been waiting for you for more than two hours."

Seeing his displeased look, Lin Jinse couldn't help laughing like a child: "I went to have a meal with my colleagues, and there was a bit of traffic jam when I got home. After I got home, I went to sit with my grandpa for a while."

"Your colleague is male or female?" Jianyi took a small spoon, lowered her long and thick eyelashes, and stirred the coffee in the cup without looking at her again.

Lin Jinse laughed secretly. She guessed that he probably heard Qi Xingye's voice. Since he knew it was a man, he still wanted to ask. It was really childish. She smiled and said, "The man is a new colleague."

"Are you new here? But I think he knows you very well, and he still calls you sister. Sister, tell me, how many good brothers do you have?!" Jian Yi raised her eyelashes and said straightlyLooking at it, there are many emotions in the dark eyes, displeasure, anger, sadness and grievance.
