"No more practice, no more practice." Zhao Fangfei fell to the ground panting.

"You are the one who wants to dance, and you are the one who doesn't." Liu Yanzhi kicked her lightly with her toe to wake her up.

"Oops!" she yelled suddenly, jumping up from the ground.

"I have guests tonight, my mother told me to go back early." She hurriedly packed her schoolbag.

What a sloppy person.Liu Yanzhi laughed back angrily.

They left the old classroom together and walked towards home.Luo Jiayi has been coming to school since yesterday, and he doesn't know what to do.Liu Yanzhi and his girlfriend broke up on the road, and wanted to go home, but walked towards Luojia in disbelief.

Just to see if she's back.Liu Yanzhi thought so.

The gate of the courtyard was ajar, Liu Yanzhi pushed the door open, and her footsteps stopped at the door.

Luo Jiayi's mother is in the courtyard, her eyes are half closed, her expression is very focused.She was dressed in a white flowing dress, draped in the afterglow of the setting sun, dancing silently, like a butterfly fluttering in the holy light.For as long as she danced, Liu Yanzhi stood there watching for a long time.Finally she stopped, and gracefully took the curtain call, with a playful and haughty expression.

Liu Yanzhi couldn't help applauding.

She opened her eyes abruptly, meeting Liu Yanzhi's eyes.Her expression became embarrassing, her eyes seemed to have a knife in her eyes, her lips twitched, trying to say something.

"Aunt Luo, I think you dance really well!" Liu Yanzhi praised her sincerely without noticing her expression.

"I've never seen such a good dancer as you. The people on the plate that my friend showed me are not as good as you!" Liu Yanzhi only knew how to say good things from her heart.

Luo Jiayi's mother still stood where she was, but her face softened a little.

"You're here to look for Ah Yi, she's going to the competition, she should be home soon." She said and turned around: "Come in and wait."

"Okay." Liu Yanzhi followed her into the house in a desperate manner.Luo Jiayi's mother changed into a dusty sweater, but she was still radiant.

"What show are you performing?" She poured Liu Yanzhi a drink, sat down and asked her.

"Dance, dance "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"."

Luomu's expression changed suddenly, and Liu Yanzhi added: "Jiayi plays the violin and accompanies her."

Her expression returned to calm.

"Is it difficult?" she asked again.

"Oh my God, it looks easy on TV, but it's really hard to dance. My friend has learned a little bit, but I can't do anything." Liu Yanzhi complained: "If I can be one hundredth of your level I will burn high incense."

Luo Mu lowered her head and peeled an apple for her.

Luo Jiayi entered the door at this moment.She took off her mask as soon as she entered the door.Knowing her for so long, it was the first time that Liu Yanzhi saw an expression similar to excitement on her face.

"Mom, I..." She saw Liu Yanzhi at this moment, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat.

"What's wrong?" Luo Mu didn't lift her head.

Luo Jiayi glanced at Liu Yanzhi again, as if making up his mind: "I can go to set a stage."

Luo Mu stood up and helped Liu Yanzhi turn on the TV: "You watch the meeting first." Then she called Luo Jiayi: "Come here."

The two entered the bedroom, not knowing what to say.Anyway, when he came out, Luo Jiayi returned to his lifeless look, and the joy on his face disappeared.

"You guys go to do your homework first, and I'll call you when you eat." Luo Mu said lightly.

As soon as Luo Jia entered the room, she didn't take out her homework, but just sat by the chessboard, holding a few chess pieces in her hands, and then started to be dazed, her eyes were so empty.

Liu Yanzhi didn't know what happened, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sit opposite her and accompany her quietly.

After a long time, she finally came back to her senses, looked at Liu Yanzhi, and her first words were: "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" Liu Yanzhi wanted to laugh.

"You are a guest, I lost my temper." Luo Jia lowered his eyes.

Her hand was still on the chessboard, her fist clenched tightly, as if she was about to bleed.

Liu Yanzhi stretched out her hand to break off her fingers. She looked very weak, but her hand was surprisingly strong. She did it for a long time without breaking any of them.

"Let go." Liu Yanzhi sternly said.

Luo Jia was stunned and lost strength in his hand, but Liu Yanzhi took the opportunity to open it.

The palm of her hand had already been pinched with blood by her fingernails, and the few red-stained white balls lay quietly on her palm, emitting a strange light.

"I'm not a guest, I'm your friend." Liu Yanzhi took the chess pieces away, and held her hand tightly, preventing her from closing it again.

She froze, trembling slightly, and retracted her hands.

Liu Yanzhi didn't give her a chance to escape.She came to her side and knelt down, staring at her with her eyes: "Then can you tell your friend what happened?"

"Back then on the mountain, I was considered to have saved your life, so we are considered life-and-death friends." Liu Yanzhi said each word.

Luo Jiayi plucked up the courage to look directly at her: "I don't want to die."

"You always have a big reaction on some strange topics." Liu Yanzhi smiled.

"Not really." She repeated firmly.

"Okay, no." Liu Yanzhi said coaxing a child.

Luo Jiayi habitually wanted to lower her head, but found that her head could not be lowered, and Liu Yanzhi, right in her line of sight, looked at her so intently and tenderly.

"My mother told me to learn chess, so I will, but I can earn money by playing chess right away, and share it with her, but she is not willing." Luo Jiayi's voice was full of confusion.

"Perhaps your mother thinks it is more important to learn culture well." Liu Yanzhi said in a low voice.

"I don't like Go at all, I like dancing, but she doesn't let me."

Liu Yanzhi belatedly recalled her mother's gloomy gaze when she met her in the courtyard.

"When you grow up, you can do whatever you want." Liu Yanzhi comforted.

"Yes, wait for me to grow up, wait for me to grow up." She repeated these words like dreaming.

"Mom must be the one who wishes you the best." Liu Yanzhi held her hand, put her head on her lap, and closed her eyes.Luo Jiayi didn't move at all. From a distance, the two seemed to be connected together, forming a harmonious painting.
