Chapter 131 Staring at himself in disbelief
On Friday afternoon, as soon as the bell rang for the end of the second period, Wang Yuxin rushed to Yuan Bao's side, grabbed her arm, and said excitedly, "Yuan Bao, come with me quickly, everyone can't wait!" With that, she pulled Yuan Bao toward the dance club's practice room.
Not to be outdone, Mengmeng called out as she ran after him, "Hey! Hey! Wait for me! How could I miss out on such a lively occasion!"
The other students also had smiles on their faces, like happy little birds, following behind in twos and threes, with laughter and chatter all the way.
When they arrived at the practice room, the scene before them surprised everyone.
The once spacious practice room was now packed with students, who huddled together like a swarm of curious little bees.
It turned out that Wang Yuxin had received Yuan Bao's affirmative reply two days earlier and had notified the other members of the school's dance club.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the campus, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred. Everyone was filled with anticipation, eager to witness the stunning dance of top student Yuan Bao.
Looking at the crowded scene, Wang Yuxin blushed slightly and smiled a little embarrassedly at Yuan Bao: "Ahem, ahem, I'm sorry, Yuan Bao. I mentioned to the other members beforehand that they should come early today, but I never expected so many people to come. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Yuan Bao looked around and saw the expectant faces of his classmates, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
She thought to herself, "Since we're already here, I can't send my classmates back. Besides, dancing is a joyful thing, there's nothing to hide."
So she flashed a bright smile and said, "It's alright, since everyone is so interested, let's watch together! It'll be more fun with more people!"
Seeing that Yuan Baozhen didn't seem to mind at all, Wang Yuxin finally felt relieved.
She cleared her throat and shouted, "Students, please make way for the middle seats! Our dance lesson is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, the students immediately stepped back, quickly clearing a spacious area in the middle of the practice room.
Yuan Bao walked calmly to the center of the practice room, a gentle smile on her face. Her gaze swept over the enthusiastic students around her, and she asked softly, "Everyone is so enthusiastic. Is there any dance you particularly want to learn? You can tell me, and we can practice together."
Wang Yuxin, representing the group, blushed slightly with excitement and said eagerly, "Yuan Bao, why don't you dance a classical Dunhuang dance that we're going to perform at the city's New Year's Eve gala? We're all very curious, it's sure to be amazing!"
"After you finish this, let's see what the others are like. Show us what you can do for them!" The students nodded in agreement, their voices rising and falling, their eyes full of anticipation.
Yuan Bao smiled and agreed, then turned and walked to the side, carefully selecting music suitable for Dunhuang dance.
Soon, melodious and ethereal classical music flowed out, and Yuan Bao's figure began to dance along with it.
Her arms were as supple as flowing ribbons, drawing graceful arcs in the air. Her body spun and leaped lightly, each movement perfectly matching the rhythm of the music, as if bringing the flying celestial maidens from the murals to life. Every move exuded the mystery and elegance of Dunhuang dance.
The students' eyes followed her intently, completely immersed in this dreamlike world of dance.
As the Dunhuang dance ended and the applause hadn't subsided, Yuan Bao quickly switched to the music for the peacock dance.
With the rhythmic melody, she transformed into a proud and elegant peacock.
Her fingers moved nimbly, mimicking the peacock's crest. The rise and fall of her body resembled the peacock's outstretched feathers. Every subtle movement was exquisite, perfectly capturing the spirit of the peacock.
The students watched with rapt attention, their mouths slightly agape and their eyes filled with amazement.
Immediately afterwards, the passionate Latin cha-cha music began to play, and Yuan Bao's style instantly changed.
Her steps were light and powerful, full of rhythm, completely different from her previous dances, and full of energy and passion.
Her waist twisted flexibly, her arms stretched powerfully, and her whole body moved freely on the dance floor, exuding a unique charm.
After Yuan Bao finished dancing to each song, the music gradually stopped, and there was a moment of silence in the practice room.
She was slightly out of breath, a satisfied smile on her face. She looked up and found that her classmates were all staring at her in disbelief, as if they were still immersed in the wonderful dance performance and couldn't come back to their senses.
After a while, Mengmeng was the first to react, shouting loudly, "Yuan Bao, you're amazing! This is practically the level of a professional dancer!" The other classmates then seemed to wake up from their daze, bursting into enthusiastic applause and cheers, and crowding around to express their admiration and praise.
Yuan Bao stood quietly in the center of the practice room, slightly out of breath, her cheeks flushed with excitement from the dance.
Her thoughts were still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed; the stunned expressions of her classmates seemed like vivid images that kept flashing through her mind.
In a daze, her memories drifted back to the real world she once knew.
It was a company team building activity, with dim lighting illuminating the simple event venue.
Yuan Bao mustered his courage and danced the Dunhuang dance and the cha-cha dance in front of his colleagues.
At that time, she was full of expectations to gain everyone's recognition and applause, but when she finished the last move, the scene fell into dead silence.
My colleagues looked on in surprise, but there was no enthusiastic applause that followed.
At that moment, embarrassment overwhelmed her like a tidal wave. She thought she hadn't danced well enough, and all her enthusiasm was instantly extinguished by cold water.
From then on, dancing, which had once brought her countless joys, was gradually buried deep in her heart, becoming a past she did not want to recall.
Years later, Yuan Bao unexpectedly ran into a former colleague on the street.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the conversation somehow drifted to that team-building event.
A former colleague's words were like a bombshell, completely overturning Yuan Bao's previous understanding.
"You know what? Back when you danced, we were all stunned by your professional moves. After you finished, everyone stood there, completely at a loss for words. Only after you walked away awkwardly did we come to our senses and say that you danced so professionally. If you had studied dance professionally, you might have been able to stand on a national stage!" a former colleague said with emotion.
Recalling this, Yuan Bao felt a mix of emotions.
At this moment, looking at her classmates cheering enthusiastically and looking at her with admiration, her eyes welled up with tears.
Just then, Wang Yuxin rushed forward excitedly, grabbed Yuan Bao's hand, and said, "Yuan Bao, you must teach us more, we really want to learn!"
Other students also gathered around, expressing their own desires all at once.
Yuan Bao nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely teach everyone everything I know!" From this moment on, Yuan Bao decided to completely let go of the burdens of the past, embrace dance again, and bloom freely in the world of dance with her classmates.
