Chapter 105 - Desire to Experiences More in Life

Chapter 105: Desire to Experiences More in Life

When he returned to his room, Wang Yan’s mood was extremely complicated.

He casually took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, poured a full glass, and lay down on the large sofa in front of the French window, silently looking at the capital city under the sunset.

The capital was majestic and magnificent, but there was no warmth in it.

The forest of buildings, the huge traffic, the busy worker ants… made the entire city seem too cold and hard.

Wang Yan’s heart skipped a beat. Should I go down for a walk?

Perhaps, it was not the city that was cold and hard, but my current perspective.

Walking among ordinary people, one might have a different feeling.

Just like Liu Li’s kiss. It was completely different from the feeling he had when he took the initiative.

San Wan, San Wan! Why are you so good at flirting?

If not for the radar, perhaps I would not be able to help but overthink of it…

[ Liu Li ]

[19 years old, 93 looks, 85 figure, special 89]

[ current location: Black Box Theatre in Emperor Dance Academy ]

The special category clearly stated that she had no past relationships, so there was only one explanation: Liu Li’s soul was too full. Her feelings were naturally revealed, and she had the strength to move people’s hearts.

At the last moment, Wang Yan had been really touched.

Liu Li had always been shy, and she would be shy when he held her hand or hugged her in public places. But today, she was so brave because she sensed his unhappiness and wanted to give him a sense of security.

The method might be a little clumsy, but her heart was really warm, frank, and sincere.

So cute.

It was not until that moment that Wang Yan truly experienced the taste of love.

It was like but love.

Wang Yan did not dare to think about it, but he could not help but think about it.

He took a sip of the wine. The sour taste lingered on his tongue.

At that moment, there was a light knock on the door.

Wang Yan frowned and walked over to open the door. When he saw the person, he was stunned.

“Why are you here? You’re still recovering. Why are you running around instead of staying in bed? ”

“I’m bored. ”

Lin Weiwei swaggered into the room and glanced at the red wine glass in Wang Yan’s hand. Then, she went to the bar counter and took out a new glass.

“You’re not a good friend. Why didn’t you call me when you opened the 8000-yuan red wine? ”

Wang Yan ignored her and asked in puzzlement, “You came alone? ”

“Ah, I can’t? ”

Lin Weiwei found the wine bottle in front of the French window. Then, she sat on Wang Yan’s seat and poured herself a full glass.

“I told them I’ll go home and rest. I came to see you before I leave.

“Why are you looking at me like this? I’m fine. ”

Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh. He sat on the other sofa and raised his glass to her. “To the lunatics. ”

Ding!

The clincking sound of the glasses was particularly crisp.

Lin Weiwei nestled comfortably in the sofa with her long legs resting on the windowsill. She took a long sip of wine and suddenly sighed.

“Wine is good wine, but people are not good people. ”

Wang Yan glanced at her and didn’t say anything.

Come, start your performance. I won’t be a tycoon if I go soft on you!

Lin Weiwei looked very comfortable. She took another sip of wine, narrowed her eyes, and slowly savored it.

After a long time, she suddenly asked, “You finally understand what it means to be an art student? You feel that it’s different from what you imagined, and you’re starting to mind? You don’t like Liu Li to have physical contact with other men, so you stir-fry a plate of vinegar and lemon? ”

The three consecutive questions pierced through Wang Yan’s disguise.

Lin Weiwei had always been this kind of woman. She was straightforward, frank, and magnanimous. In addition, she would always stand up at critical moments when she thought it was the right thing to do.

Wang Yan didn’t dare to say that he wasn’t jealous at all, but the situation was really not that serious, so he didn’t want to admit it.

“Is this necessary? That little bit of contact has long been put to the back of my mind.

“It’s nothing.

“I don’t even mind to have a girlfriend who had previous relationship. Why would I get jealous with a classical dancer like her? ”

Lin Weiwei turned her head to look at him. There seemed to be something in her eyes, and her expression was half-smile.

“Really? Wang Yan, are you sure you want to answer me like that? ”

Wang Yan was silent for a moment. Finally, he got serious and answered.

“Actually, I’ve overcome my jealousy at the end of the show.

“It’s a 60-minute drama, and the duet dance was less than two minutes long. It’s just a few lifts. The palace dress that she was wearing was even more conservtive than those that girls wear on the subway. If I can’t let this go, I won’t be able to fall in love with any girl in the future.

“It’s just that… I still feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Lin Weiwei and the boy looked at each other. After a moment, she smiled.

Wang Yan is still the Gouzi that I know. How nice.

After a moment of silence, she used an unprecedented effort to organize her words before she slowly opened her mouth.

“I don’t know why you have such a big misunderstanding of Liu Li. Now, I’ll explain. Listen. If you have any questions, you can ask at the end.

“Classical dance is very different from ballroom dance. I have to have a partner when I dance, and it has to be a long-time partner, because we have to cultivate tacit understanding and the consistency of the movements with each other.

“Any mistake in the movements of the two partners would result in serious consequences… Look here.

Lin Weiwei pulled up the hem of her skirt, pressed on the inner side of her left knee, and pointed it out to Wang Yan.

“When I was a freshman, my partner and I practiced together for the first time. Because we were young and impulsive, we directly went up to the fox step. When we made a continuous left turn to support our feet, I lost the grip on his hand. Crack… ”

Lin Weiwei stopped, but Wang Yan noticed that the part of flesh on her knee remained in a dent for a long while after being pressed down.

Wang Yan’s heart went out to her. It had nothing to do with love, it was just pure compassion.

As he was thinking about how to comfort her, Lin Weiwei waved her hand and smiled, continuing to speak.

“It’s better with classic dancing; it’s much safer.

“Classic dancing emphasizes restraint and emotions. Most of the dances are solo and group dances. It’s very rare for couples to dance together.

“Liu Li’s specialies in Han and Tang dynasties dancing. Her style is light, graceful, and beautiful. Almost all of the classical dramas are solo dances by the female lead.

“The few famous directors in classic dancing have lots of students and are highly respected. If a dancer caught their eye and had them tailor-make a dance, she’d immediately be a big shot like Ms. Tang.

“I am not born with that graceful and reserved strength. Otherwise, why would I study National Standards Dance! ”

Even though Lin Weiwei was complaining, her attitude was so magnanimous that there was not a trace of disappointment or resentment.

Wang Yan did not have anything to comfort her, so he quietly refilled her glass.

Lin Weiwei raised her glass and smiled sweetly.

“There are 50 people in two classes of the classical dance department this year, and there are 18 girls and 7 boys in Liu Li’s class. Each of them has their own training rooms. If we don’t arrange this ‘Zhaojun Going Out of the Frontier’ , the co-performance between the boys and girls will basically be limited to group dancing.

“As for this Zhaojun dance opera , it is a small version of director Kong’s work. It will be a tribute to the Project of One Belt and One Road. It will be led by the Huaxia Opera and Dance Theater, with help from the Inner Mongolia Dance Troupe and the Emperor Dance Troupe. It will be a national key play.

“How important is it? There will be a high-level leader coming to watch the premiere.

“If you really don’t like Liu Li dancing, then hurry up and persuade her to give up.

“Anyway, with her strength, she definitely won’t be able to catch up with senior sister Tang in three to five years. No matter how hard she works, she’ll at most be a younger version of the protagonist.

“I feel bad for her. She only has a slim chance to become a so-called artist. Why work so hard? ”

As she said the last sentence, Lin Weiwei once again revealed a half-smile. Then, she stared at Wang Yan, as if she wanted to see a hole in him.

Wang Yan just smiled.

The smile was faint and very appropriate, but in his clear eyes was genuine joy, as if the gloominess in his heart had been swept away.

“Is it my turn to speak? ”

Wang Yan took the initiative to clink glasses with Lin Weiwei.

“Huhem. ”

Lin Weiwei nodded with a snort.

“I admit that I was a little narrow-minded. I couldn’t see past it. ”

Wang Yan admitted his failure and then said, “Thank you, Weiwei. I’m very ashamed to let you specially make a trip to enlighten me. ”

After laying the groundwork, he went to the point.

“But, things are really not that bad.

“I don’t know the differences between the styles of different dancing, but I’ll know them in the future. We’re not a bitter movie and there’s no misunderstanding that can’t be cleared. ”

Lin Weiwei raised her eyebrows. “So, you’re being troubled by…something else? ”

“A little. ”

Wang Yan admitted frankly, but he didn’t explain.

Rather than trouble, it was more like guilt.

A woman in love might not spare a glance at other men.

A man might be…

Wang Yan did not know what other men were like, but he had always known that he could not give 100% of himself to Liu Li.

To guard Liu Li wholeheartedly until they got married, had a child , and lived a peaceful life until the end?

I’m sorry, I really can’t do it.

The young man’s restless heart yearned for all the new experiences in the world. He was constantly thinking of flying higher, seeing farther, and having more, but he could still suppress it for the time being.

It was just like the dream he had on the rattan chair in the small courtyard when he first got the system — to build a palace in the clouds and wait for the arrival of all the nations.

Perhaps one day, after going through some ups and downs, I might be able to understand the true meaning of life and return to the traditional family life, but it was definitely not now.

It couldn’t be now.

So, what the hell am I worrying about? !

Is there something wrong with me? !

Wang Yan suddenly felt a little irritated. He picked up his wine glass, clinked it lightly with Lin Weiwei, and downed it in one gulp.

When the tipsiness surged up, the system popped up a notification without any warning.

[ your mood is very low. Perhaps good wine can make you happy. You have received a secret reward. ]

[ after drinking, see your heart. ]

[ one-time card. ]

[ when you treat and drink with others, every glass of wine you drink has a mystery. ]

[50% chance to trigger the happy special effect; mood slightly increased. ]

[40% chance to trigger the true special effect; nature slightly exposed. ]

[10% chance to trigger freeloader special effect; the host receives cash reward equal to the price of the entire bottle of wine. ]

[ note: the degree of high mood and exposed nature is equivalent to being drunk. ]

Wow, it comes just in time.

Wang Yan immediately wanted to use the card. After ten glasses of wine, he would probably be extremely happy. This little bit of trouble at the moment would definitely evaporated.

At the same time, he wanted to know his true thoughts.

Perhaps, he could also find out what Lin Weiwei, the mysterious big girl from the capital, was thinking about.

However, just before he made his decision, his phone suddenly rang. A message from Liu Li appeared on the screen.

[ In the most beautiful age of life, there are many things we can pursue. I have given my persistence to art. I want to give all my passion to you. ]

Wang Yan stared at the message for a long time.

Then, he suddenly didn’t want to use the card.

Because, he finally understood something.

When Liu Li used Lin Weiwei as an example and asked, “Do you mind? ” It was obviously the first test.

He passed it perfectly.

Today, he was invited to watch the rehearsal. She wanted to show her most beautiful side to him, and it was also the second test.

He had passed barely.

If he had acted like he didn’t care at all, or if he had been flustered and lost temper due to extreme jealousy…

Then, she probably wouldn’t have sent him this message.

A young girl, before deciding on a person and making up her mind, would inevitably worry about gains and losses, think over and over again, and weigh the pros and cons.

It was reasonable and justifiable.

Therefore, instead of blaming her, he felt relieved.

She was so cautious and self-loving, how can distance become a problem for them?

After she made up her mind, she acted sure so positive and brave, which gave him a sense of security about their relationship.

San Wan, you are a treasure.

The text message was more interesting.

Life is not just about careers or even love. She wanted both and believed that she could separate them and keept them.

Her career needed her persistence while needed passion; their common point was that they needed her whole-hearted devotion.

The meaning expressed in the message was simply perfect.

Oh, San Wan, you are more mature, more determined, and more intelligent than I thought.

You’re the little fairy I’ve been waiting for.

You wait!

With a smile, he typed his reply: “Message is read and approved. ”

He also sent a picture of a dog sticking out its tongue.

Looking at the Husky emoji, Wang Yan felt relieved.

Today, his hard thinking didn’t go to waste.

Thinking was a very troublesome, tiring, and lonely thing, but the ultimate charm of a man came from thinking.

Unknowingly, Wang Yan was becoming more and more attractive.

It had nothing to do with money.

…

Lin Weiwei looked out of the window in a daze. The sky was turning dark, and Wang Yan’s figure was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window pane. His demeanor was steady, and his face was determined. He had taken on the appearance of a man.

She did not receive a response from Wang Yan. She knew that there might not be any response on the topic.

Since that was the case, it was fine to let go.

She put down her wine glass, stood up swiftly, and said with a relaxed smile, “Alright, it seems that you have thought it through. I’ll leave now. ”

Wang Yan invited her for dinner, but she turned around and left.

“I can’t eat now. I’m on a diet to lose weight! ”

Alright, I’ll walk you downstairs then.

Wang Yan had just walk her to the door when he was stopped by Lin Weiwei’s glaring eyes.

“What kind of friend are you? I just told you a few heartfelt words, and you are treating me like an outsider, right? ”

“Fine, fine, fine! You can go now, I won’t walk you down! ”

Wang Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hands in surrender.

In the end, he didn’t ask that question, “Weiwei, why did you come to explain all this to me in such a hurry? “?

He wanted to ask, but there was no need.

When Lin Weiwei went out, she swung back her long hair out of habit. Then, she strode toward the elevator with her unique swaggering steps.

Her red hair spread out like a flame, blinding people’s eyes. It also looked like a rose, fragrant with thorns.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. He closed the door and went back to his room.

Lin Weiwei looked at the mirror in the elevator and carefully put on her sunglasses. She combed her hair and straightened her clothes. Suddenly, she felt a lump in her throat.
