698 A Man and a Woman Alone
“Hey! Sister Yang Xin! Quick, take a look and see if the lights are on in the dance studio!” Zhou Ling said as she leaned against the dormitory window.
Yang Xin did not care at all. There was nothing valuable in the dance studio. So what if someone went there in the middle of the night? No matter how hard some people tried, they would not be able to shake her position as the main dancer.
“It doesn’t look like Deng Fan is in the dance studio by himself. By right, Deng Fan should have gone home by now,” Zhou Ling said doubtfully.
She had always lived in the dormitory building of the art troupe and the facing of her room was the best. Every day, she could see who had entered the dance studio.!!
Last year, Zhou Ling’s family had made arrangements for her to get married, but she refused and had threatened them with death if they forced her. She just wanted to wait for Deng Fan.
They all said that Deng Fan was someone who did not make sense. He was already in his 30s and was still single. Most people like him were sick in some ways!
In that era, women in the countryside would get married when they were 17 or 18 years old. Men would get married when they were 20 years old. People in the city might do it a little later, but most women would get married at around 20 years old and men at around 22 years old.
If one did not get married after this age, one could get shamed to death by the neighbors! Therefore, even if people did not love their partners, they would still get married when the time came.
For someone like Deng Fan who was not married even though he was in his 30s, there must be something wrong with him!
“You’re just thinking about Deng Fan! Then why don’t you go to the dance studio to accompany him! If you don’t meet him and talk to him, how are you going to get along with him? You even want to marry him. If you can’t even talk to him, how are you going to get married?” Yang Xin said.
Zhou Ling came to Yang Xin’s side shyly and grabbed her sleeve as she said, “Sister Xin~ You’re the best~ Can you come with me. I’m afraid to go alone…”
Although Yang Xin was usually sarcastic, she still treated the two Zhou sisters quite well. After all, these two people were always by her side.
“Alright! But let’s make it clear. I’m only going with you. I won’t help you make conversation with Deng Fan!” Yang Xin said.
“Fine, fine, fine!” Zhou Ling hopped around happily and quickly went to get both their dancing shoes.
During this period of time, Yang Xin had been living in Zhou Ling’s bedroom. It had been more than a month. Although Zhou Ling did not ask about Yang Xin’s family matters, she more or less knew that Yang Xin’s husband did not treat her well.
This time round, it seemed that Yang Xin’s husband had another woman outside and even brought that woman home. Yang Xin was so angry that she ran away from home.
Since Yang Xin did not say anything, Zhou Ling did not ask further. She simply pretended that she did not know anything about this matter.
The two of them arrived at the dance studio happily. Before they even entered, they could hear Deng Fan and Xia He chatting and laughing, which made Zhou Ling furious.
Deng Fan was usually a cold person and would not say a word no matter what she asked. Why was he chatting so happily with Xia He now? Something was definitely wrong.
Yang Xin pushed open the door of the dance studio and shouted, “Oh! You’re all here! You’d rather chat here in the middle of the night than go home. How fun.”
Deng Fan remained silent and quietly did his leg presses at one side. Xia He could not be bothered to talk to them and also started to do leg presses. The entire dance studio was silent and there was no movement at all.
“Xia He, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty!” Zhou Ling said angrily.
Xia He smiled and turned around to look at Zhou Ling. “I’m not talking because I’m unwilling to talk to you. I have nothing to feel guilty about.”
“Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night? A man and a woman, alone in the same room. What else do you have to say!” Zhou Ling said as she pointed at Xia He.
“Open your snobbish eyes wide and see clearly. Tell me exactly what shameful things I have done. There are also surveillance cameras around. If you don’t believe me, go take a look and see what I’ve done,” Xia He said as she pointed at the surveillance cameras above her head.
Xia He was the one who suggested to Xu Lan to install the surveillance cameras. This was because the dancers kept losing their dance shoes in the dance studio. Many people complained to one another about it. It was not because the dance shoes were expensive, but because it was not easy to find a pair of dance shoes that suited oneself. One had to use the shoes constantly and mound them in order to have a pair of dance shoes that suited oneself the most.
Therefore, everyone cherished their dance shoes very much. No matter how much money they were offered, they would not give their shoes away in exchange.
