Xu Shuo carefully avoided the puddles and walked towards the building in the silky drizzle.
Another thick dark cloud floated from a distance in the gloomy sky. It seemed that the rain would not stop, but would get heavier and heavier.
The hem of the skirt was lifted by the wind. Xu Shuo looked back at the sky and looked down at the back of his hand.
The area touched by the priest was still a little hot, not as pale and cold as other parts of the body. The back of the hand was a little pink as if it had been burned.
This feeling was as if he had encountered an extremely disgusting natural enemy, and even his body became a little stiff at that moment.
Xu Shuo looked at the building with a spire not far away again. It seemed that places like churches were inaccessible now. However, in a city where almost everyone believed in religion, Qiuzi was not a believer.
She's not a pagan, she's just an ordinary ballet girl.
But dancing is not her dream either.
When Hui Hui came to this city alone to become a ballet dancer, it was actually Lan Ruo who brought her here.
The two have been good friends since childhood. When Lanruo told her dream and expressed that she was afraid of being alone and wanted someone to accompany her, Qiuzi followed her.
In this era, two girls who dropped out of school made the crazy decision to go north to pursue their dreams.
However, Qiuzi, who suddenly thought of it, was even better.
…
Dance room.
At noon, there was only one incandescent lamp left in the vast and empty room. Half of the dance studio was in light and half in darkness. The dancing girl was spinning, and her figure was disappearing.
The dance is elegant and beautiful, she is the real swan.
As the last slight movement stopped, Xue Na turned her head and looked at the person standing in the corner who had appeared at some unknown time, feeling a little surprised.
"teacher."
She stood up and lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.
The woman in black dance clothes was hidden in the dimly lit place, as if blending into the black, her expression was also dark and unclear. After a while, she walked over.
The woman's figure is a head taller than the already tall Xue Na, and her usually serious face has now become very gentle.
"Your feet are still recovering, so it's better to do less of this kind of exercise." Teacher Changying said softly.
"It doesn't matter. I'm worried that if I continue to slack off, I will never be able to return to my previous state." Xue Na bit her lip and said imploringly: "Teacher, I also want to try again..."
Teacher Changying raised her hand, caressed the girl's delicate cheek, and sighed: "Xue Na, you are the child I look forward to most. You are so good, you should get the best."
When Xue Na heard this, she was startled for a moment, her eyes brightened slightly, and she looked a little moved: "Teacher..."
"But, in your current state, I'm afraid you can't compete with Qiuzi and Lanruo." She said softly, her voice was hoarse, like an ethereal vibration coming from a distance, making people involuntarily pay attention.
"Teacher, please believe me! I will definitely succeed!" Xue Na came back to her senses, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but her eyes were also unusually firm and encouraging.
Teacher Changying pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing more.
…
There is still time for dance practice in the afternoon, but Xue Na still needs to go to the hospital for a review due to a previous foot injury.
However, now that she has been recognized by the teacher, her originally low and gloomy mood became extremely surging at this time, and the girl walked out with a happy smile on her face.
But just after turning the corner, she suddenly got excited and trembled out of fear.
The girl, who was obviously delicate and beautiful, but exuded an inexplicable sense of coldness and depression, stood quietly at the corner, staring at her.
Xue Na was caught off guard and frightened, and almost hit her.
The girl was silent, her wide-open eyes were deep and dark, as dead and deep as a whirlpool, and her pale skin had a cold texture.
The surrounding air seemed to have become colder, and there was a strange suffocating feeling that spread into the distance along the dim corridor.
The security guard who was originally guarding the elevator entrance disappeared for some reason. The place was deserted and extremely quiet.
After reacting, Xue Na gave a stiff smile: "...Qiuzi?"
Xu Shuo curled his lips and smiled sinisterly at her. The girl's voice was inexplicably low: "Xue Na, I heard everything just now."
"What?" Xue Na distanced herself without leaving any trace.
"But the teacher said before that I am the candidate she is most satisfied with." Xu Shuo said quietly, grinning at the corner of his mouth, and his strange eyes were filled with a morbid feeling: "Sister Xue Na, you don't want to compete with me, do you? "
Why does this guy look like a ghost...
The moment she turned the corner and approached the girl, Xue Na was chilled.
At this time, she silently took two steps back and stood in the middle of the corridor, with a firm gaze and a smile: "Qiuzi, this is not a robbery, this is just a fair competition between strengths!"
Xu Shuo tilted his head and looked at her with unclear meaning in his eyes.
The girl's neck was weirdly crooked, and her long white skirt made her skin seem to be glowing, but it was that lifeless white light, and it seemed that she could faintly see cyan blood vessels under her skin. .
Xue Na subconsciously stared at every part of the girl, from her neck, to her graceful figure, and finally settled on the slender and pale ankles.
The combination of black leather shoes and pale color creates a weird feeling.
The girl's shadow placed just one inch below her feet looked even darker in the dim light, just like the dead white, it was dead black.
"Have you seen enough?" Suddenly, a ghostly voice came from close at hand.
Xue Na suddenly looked up in a daze, and saw that the girl had walked in front of her again at some point, and her dark pupils were staring at her tightly, without any emotion.
Xue Na opened her mouth, then staggered back a few steps and bumped into the wall of the corridor.
She lowered her head, and after her thick hair covered her face, the girl's eyes widened in shock and she screamed silently.
But soon, she adjusted her mood and looked up again, smiling sheepishly: "I'm sorry Qiuzi, you seem to have become more beautiful."
Saying that, Xue Na couldn't help but look over again.
Xu Shuo smiled slightly: "Don't stare at me, it's very rude."
"Oh, okay, I'm sorry..." Xue Na quickly looked away and uncomfortably smoothed the hair that fell from her forehead.
She was trying her best to suppress her impulse, but at this time, in this depressing and inexplicably suffocating corridor, there was always a weird desire in her heart, which made her focus her eyes on it, even let her touch the girl, and even let her... …
Time seemed to stick to this moment, darkness spread from the depths of the corridor, the lights above became dim, and the dark shadows of the two people gathered at their feet.
wrong!
Something will go wrong with her if she stays like this!
Xue Na took a deep breath and took another step back along the wall. The shadows under her feet also moved. She said, "Qiuzi, if everything is okay, I will go to the hospital first."
"Sister Xue Na, actually I don't want to compete with you." The girl suddenly seemed to be normal again, showing a familiar charming look, and sighed: "But it's a long story, come to the dance studio tonight , I’ll tell you again.”
"Isn't it... not good at night?" Xue Na blinked.
"It has something to do with this performance, you will be interested." Xu Shuo said with a low smile.
Xue Na frowned, but she didn't respond. She gave a forced smile, and then hurriedly left as if fleeing.
Xu Shuo looked at her back meaningfully and put away his scary and gloomy posture.
"The response was pretty quick."
At least it's much faster than Officer Zhang's reaction. It should be the player, right?
