Tracing the sound

Chapter 9

It coincided with the official event on Wednesday, and Yu Miao was not qualified to participate for the time being. The Zhuoyu Hall was occupied, so he, a handyman, was free. There was a rare vacancy, and Yu Miao applied for leave from Zhuo, just in time to go back to the small warehouse to clean up. thing.

After not coming back for a while, Mrs. Hou specially prepared a table of delicious food, and Hou Yunlong closed the stall early, and the three gathered around the simple table, talking and laughing while eating dinner.

"Is everything packed? Can you take it? I'll see you off later." Hou Yunlong picked up a piece of braised pork for Yu Miao.

"No need, no need, I just have a small backpack, you don't have to worry, Brother Monkey." Yu Miao hurriedly refused, he had already caused Hou Yunlong a lot of trouble, and he really didn't want to add more burden to him.

"Don't be polite to me, I happen to recognize the door." Hou Yunlong insisted.

Yu Miao opened a bottle of beer, poured it for Hou Yunlong and Mrs. Hou, then raised the teacup in front of her solemnly: "Brother Monkey, sister-in-law, I respect you for this cup. Thank you for taking me in, otherwise I would Not today."

"What stupid things are you talking about? You are our real brother. One family does not speak two different languages." Hou Yunlong felt pity when he thought of him being helpless at a young age, and now he had to go out on his own.

Yu Miao was so touched that he almost shed tears. He was actually reluctant to leave this small warehouse where he had lived for five years. There were no high beds, soft pillows, or carved beams and jade pillars. a "home".

"Miao Miao, what a great opportunity. You like dancing so much. It's a good thing to be able to learn. I just want to come back to see your brother when I'm free. I'll be leaving in two days. He's actually lonely by himself." Mrs. Hou drank Wine, speaking a little choked up.

"Look at you, what are you talking about? I'm an old man, how can I feel sad for the spring and autumn? Besides, it's not like Xiao Yumiao won't come back. The young man has worked hard, and my brother is still waiting to see you on TV to win the big prize! "Hou Yunlong was afraid of burdening Yu Miao, so he comforted him.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, you won't leave even if you drive me away." Yu Miao sniffed and said roguely.

In fact, the house can be returned. Although Lu Peng has arranged a lot of chores for him in a down-to-earth manner, he has also received equivalent treatment, and there are independent rooms that are many times higher than the small warehouse. For Yu Miao who is not well off, moving is the most cost-effective choice.

But when he came to this city alone, it was Hou Yunlong who gave him the first ray of light in his life. It was not easy for migrant workers to settle in this city. Hou Yunlong had to support a large family. With his own rental income, he would have to live frugally. Yu Miao knew very well that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, so he didn't plan to check out.

"I see you've lost a lot of weight again, so why isn't the food in the studio bad?" Hou Yunlong looked at Yu Miao's sunken face and thick dark circles, and asked with concern.

"No, no, the food is good." It's too expensive, Yu Miao added in his heart.Although Zhuo Shen and the others couldn't catch the eye, the collective canteen of Fusheng Studio is very particular, the food mix is ​​reasonable, and there are a variety of nutritious meals. It is conceivable that the price is also very astonishing, and Yu Miao is not willing to pay for the meal card.

"That's too tiring. I didn't say that you practice dance too hard. Don't rely on your youth and capital. You should combine work and rest." Madam Hou gave him another piece of meat in distress.

"I know, thank you, sister-in-law." Yu Miao felt warm in his heart. He hadn't tasted meat star for a long time, and decided decisively to add two more bowls of rice later.

He didn't talk much with the couple, firstly because he was afraid that they would be worried, and secondly because he was afraid that Hou Yunlong would exempt his rent if he found out.

Dark circles are caused by staying up all night. You can imagine how hard it will be to complete odd jobs without reducing the time for dancing practice, but Yu Miao feels very fulfilled.

The only headache is the financial problem. Originally, he worked several jobs, and also worked as a part-time teacher for an unknown children's dance school. His monthly income was enough to meet food and clothing.

Now in the studio all day long, all the income from labor is used to offset tuition fees, and dance practice cannot be delayed, and there is no spare time to make a living.

Yu Miao didn't have any savings, and he didn't have the capital to sit and eat, so he silently figured out ways to make money, and stuffed two more pieces of meat into his mouth.

After eating, Yu Miao was ready to go back early. After all, he was still responsible for cleaning the battlefield after the event.

Hou Yunlong sent him all the way to the entrance of Fusheng Studio, looking at the magnificent carved gate and the looming fountain screen in front of the gate, Hou Yunlong was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Yu Miao: "If you are wronged outside, don't bear it." , brother will support you."

It was as if a cluster of small flames were ignited in the body, caressing every inch of skin warmly, Yu Miao took the backpack in Hou Yunlong's hand, and promised with a smile: "Got it, Brother Monkey!"

Watching Hou Yunlong go away, a head popped out from behind: "Why don't you come in when someone is at home?"

Yu Miao was taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yunfeng, and immediately greeted him politely.

"Brother, is the event over?" Seeing that Zhang Yunfeng was still wearing a costume, Yu Miao asked.

"Just finished, the dead old man is very picky, coupled with Bi Sheng's obsessive-compulsive disorder, there is still trouble." Zhang Yunfeng rubbed his temples in distress.

As soon as he heard Bi Sheng's name, Yu Miao's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about chattering with Zhang Yunfeng any longer, and ran towards the practice room.

Zhang Yunfeng looked at Yiliuer's back inexplicably, and staggered out to beat his teeth.

The Zhuoyu Hall is on the east side of the second entrance courtyard. As soon as Yu Miao entered the courtyard, he felt a completely different atmosphere from the previous few days.

He probably knows that only his brothers and sisters are eligible to practice dance in Zhuoyutang. Other ordinary students are arranged in the training room on the second floor facing the street. Is confined to a hospital.

But today, there are more than 20 people in the second entrance courtyard. It seems that they are all ordinary students. Their faces are full of excitement. Some stretch their necks to look around, and some look around strangely , Gathering in twos and threes to discuss, very lively.

Zhuoyutang locked the door, but the performance hall to the west was brightly lit.Yu Miao walked around to the door in two or three steps, and immediately saw the person who had been thinking about him for a long time.

Bi Sheng frowned slightly, and listened patiently to what Zhuo Shen said. Standing beside him was a hale and hearty old man, who seemed to be discussing something.

Yu Miao was thinking about how to sneak in quietly, when the sharp-eyed Rong Bingxuan had already spotted him.

"Yu Miao, go get some bottles of water!"

When he really dozed off, someone gave him a pillow. Yu Miao responded happily, turned around and ran to the small storeroom to move a piece of Baisui Mountain, adjusted his clothes facing the shadow on the window, and hurried into the performance hall.

There was a big drum with props on the grand stage of the performance hall, Rong Bingxuan and others in costumes sat on the ground and chatted casually, Yu Miao thought for a while, and went onto the stage with mineral water in his arms.

The training should have just ended. Bai Hua wiped her face with a towel and complained, "You're finally back. No one cared about us all afternoon. I almost died of thirst. Open a bottle for me." Yu Miao took out a bottle guiltily. He took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Bai Hua.

"Why don't you let someone feed it to your mouth?" Peng Linlin rolled her eyes at the pampered young master, and took a bottle to drink herself.

Yu Miao took out several more bottles in one breath and distributed them to everyone one by one. His heart was beating uncontrollably faster and faster. He pretended to be calm and walked towards Bi Sheng's direction.

"Senior brother, drink some water." Seeing an empty space, Yu Miao stretched out his slender hand and handed the mineral water to Zhuo Shen.

"Teacher Bi, drink water." Another bottle of mineral water appeared in front of Bi Sheng.

"Thank you." Bi Sheng took it, and was not too surprised when he saw Yu Miao. Lu Peng told him some follow-up things.And he himself was not very interested in this unqualified partner candidate.

Yu Miao's enthusiasm was completely extinguished with this cold "thank you", and he handed the last bottle of water in his arms to the old senior with some frustration.

"This is someone from your place? Why haven't I seen it before?" The old man stared at Yu Miao's face, obviously more excited than Bi Sheng.

Yu Miao was used to this kind of reaction, so out of politeness, he forced a smile back.

"Junior brother who is on the sidelines, I have only been here for a few days." Zhuo Shen was very good at observing words and expressions, and pulled Yu Miao to him, "This is Mr. Chaozhong, the famous dance drama director, Yu Miao, come to say hello."

"Hello." Yu Miao bowed politely.

"A man lives up to his name, so he looks like a good seed." Chao Zhong patted Yu Miao on the shoulder and said kindly.

Yu Miao had been staring at Bi Sheng ever since he appeared, ignoring Chao Zhong's encouragement at all, maybe his gaze was too direct, Zhuo Shen felt embarrassed for him, and consciously coughed twice to remind him.

"Oh, thank you." Yu Miao quickly blushed and thanked you.

"I think his qualifications are not inferior to Lin Mo's. Didn't he arrange a role?" Chao Zhong asked.

"It's too far away." Bi Sheng shook his head.

"You are humble, who can come to you, where is the difference?" Chao Zhong smiled.

Bi Sheng smiled politely and said nothing more.

No matter how thick-skinned Yu Miao was, this time he was completely beaten.The child lowered his head and walked away silently.

"What's the matter with you? Did you get beaten by Shuang?" Seeing that he looked like he was about to cry, Bai Hua asked strangely.

"Senior brother, who is Lin Mo?" Yu Miao asked listlessly with her mouth flattened.

"Lin Mo, a very popular rookie in the past two years, this time one of the main dancers in the new dance drama "Flying Apsaras" directed by Chaozhong." Bai Hua said with a strange expression.

"Is he very good?" Yu Miao asked again.

"The other main dancer of "Flying Apsaras" is Big Brother Bi. We are all green leaves, what do you think?" Bai Hua thought for a while and added: "He was the champion of the last New Youth Dance Competition."

This time, Shuangda's small fish fry were completely uprooted.

After practicing for a whole day, Rong Bingxuan and the others were exhausted, and they went out to look for food together. Yu Miao came back from eating, and he had just suffered a mental blow, so he rejected the opportunity for a meal for the first time, feeling bored. Headed to the cleaning room to get the tools, and started cleaning quietly.

Bi Sheng glanced unconsciously, and saw Yu Miao standing on the ladder with one foot to reach the red silk cloth on the edge of the stage. His appearance looked very dangerous. Suddenly, the ladder shook, and Bi Sheng's heart followed suit. He picked it up, but fortunately Yu Miao reacted in time and stabilized quickly.

Bi Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: this level of acrobatics is more than enough.

The author has something to say:

Yu Miao: Can winning a championship be promoted as a dance partner?

Bi Sheng: No.

Yu Miao: So how?

Bi Sheng: Learn about the unspoken rules.

Yu Miao: ...
