? I don't know if Liliana's family is a noble family or not. I only know that her father is the master choreographer of the Boli Dance Troupe.The night spent at Liliana's house was very lively and interesting. My uncle was kind and enthusiastic, and told us a lot about the current situation of the Japanese ballet world, and my aunt's desserts were simply tongue-in-cheek.

There is also the lovely Liliana and Larissa who is very gentle at home. They are really a happy family.

Two days later, it was the match between me and Liliana. The time was arranged. Liliana jumped first, and I jumped later.

I looked at the schedule, and couldn't help but think of Larissa's words, don't appear after her...

Shaking my head, I pushed the wavering thoughts out of my mind.

Who am I? I am the so-called stupid, bold, and courageous Masumi. I dare to dance in front of Mr. Serkeyev and Mr. Plisetskaya without even dancing shoes; I don’t even have a complete pas de deux Dare to participate in the national competition after skipping; dare to compete with Kyogoku for Princess Aurora without even completing the basic training; dare to dance the white swan with Teacher Serkeyev in front of the Pori Dance Troupe without even having a formal performance... …

This time, let's do our best!

When she walked backstage, Liliana was already ready, and she smiled happily when she saw me, "Masumi, you're here, I'll dance first."

"It's so cute, Liliana." I couldn't help hugging her, "It's so cute, I really want to take you home!"

"Haha, I'm not a doll." Liliana smiled, and then she smiled brighter as if she saw something, "Teacher."

I turned my head, "Teacher."

Teacher Serkeyev nodded to me, then turned to Liliana, "Are you ready? There are still 10 minutes."

"Ready." Liliana stood up and walked to the teacher, raising her head and saying.

The teacher smiled slightly, "Just dance as usual, you know?"

"Yes."

"Let's go."

"is teacher."

Teacher Serkeyev took Liliana out, and I quietly watched such a familiar scene.

is teacher.

is teacher!

The person who said this is not me, not me!

He hugged himself with his hands, but couldn't help but feel a little cold, and his heart was full of bewilderment.Looking at the backs of the two, it seemed, as if something very important was lost.

What a horrible feeling!

"Masumi?! What's the matter with you?" Cao Bi's voice seemed to pass through the fog to reach his ears.

I came back to my senses, "Ah, it's okay, I'm just in a daze."

"Want to see Liliana's performance?"

"Of course." It's so strange that the feet can move, as if the abnormality just now is just my illusion.

It turned out that this was Liliana's dance.

I stood backstage, clutching the curtain, watching the performance on stage.Everything around seemed to disappear, only the figure dancing like an elf remained.Liliana's dance is like entering a dream world, which is the realm that everyone who aspires to ballet has dreamed of.She is like a miracle chosen from millions, thousands of people, like a born swan...

For the first time, ballet showed another kind of beauty in my eyes, a kind of beauty that I seemed to be unable to reach no matter how I stretched out my hands.

I just stood there silently, the second act, the third act, the fourth act...

Until I left the arena, until my feet started to stiffen and hurt, I couldn't move.

"Masumi—"

I turned my head blankly and looked at Teacher Serkeyev who was coming down from the stage, unable to even speak.

Seeing this, the teacher frowned, and still said to me, "Come on, it's time for you to get ready." After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, but after a long while, I didn't see me following.The teacher turned around suspiciously, and saw that I was still standing there without moving a little bit.

"Masumi? What's wrong with you?" Teacher Serkeyev walked back quickly.

"I, I... I can't move my feet!!" I covered my head and cried out.Obviously, he wanted to keep up with the teacher's footsteps, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move an inch.

"Calm down!" Teacher Serkeyev grabbed my hand, "Don't worry!"

"I, I... I..." No matter how anxious I was, my feet seemed to have betrayed my will, and I just stood there, completely ignoring my commands, "Teacher, teacher! Teacher... "

"Masumi!" The teacher stretched out his hand and embraced me, "Calm down!"

At such a moment, like a miracle, I was led by him, and I took several steps forward...

The warm embrace that made people want to cry, immediately surrounded me, "Masumi, don't worry, nothing will happen!"

"En, er!" I stretched out my hand and grabbed the teacher vigorously, "I can move now, I can move now!"

"Are you ready?" The teacher pushed me away a little, "Take a few steps and try."

I firmly held the teacher's hand, raised my foot, and landed on the ground... Then from the stiffness at the beginning, to the smoothness in the future... Finally, I can move freely.

"Teacher!" I looked up in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Serkeyev still frowned, "Come here, Masumi, and let the doctor take a look."

"It should be all right." The constant time of standing still and the shock in my heart should be due to more psychological reasons.

"No! Come here." The teacher said firmly, and pulled me to the doctor's side.

"Yes!" Almost subconsciously, I followed.

According to the results of the doctor's examination, everything has returned to normal. The doctor said that it is probably caused by fatigue and excessive tension, and it has nothing to do with it.Feeling relieved, I changed my dance clothes in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to be nervous.

"Are you ready?" Mr. Serkeyev held my hand while standing with me backstage, "It's about to start!"

I looked in the direction of the stage, then looked up at him again, "Teacher..."

"Go." Teacher Serkeyev let go of my hand and gave me a gentle push.

"Teacher...you..." I looked at him in a panic.

"Go, I will watch you here, and after you finish your solo dance, I will go on stage!"

"En!" I pulled up the corners of my mouth to give a slight smile, and then walked onto the stage.

My white and black swans, Odette and Odile, danced apart from Larissa for the first time.This time, I was able to fully interpret them together.

Act Two: By the lake at dusk, the solo dance of Princess Audite, transformed into a girl, and the pas de deux with the prince.

Act III: Odile seducing the prince.

Act IV: Sad Audite, the dance with the prince, the defeat of the demon, a loving pas de deux.

Scene after scene, I seem to dance for a long time, but no matter how long I dance, no matter what I dance, the teacher is always by my side, whether it is a white swan or a black swan, a sad Odette or a seductive Odile.Teacher, always, always.
