Chapter 38 - Chapter38

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the busiest times for the dance company. There are performances in the theater, and a play involves more than dozens of people. And when there is a performance of a classic play or a media reception day, the whole troupe has to be mobilized on this day to perform their respective duties.Liang Fu sat in the last row of the press hall and watched several staff members hang banners above the podium. The three tables in front were used as a press platform, covered with bright red curtains, on which were placed bouquets of bright red carnations and pink perfume lilies. Even those with little discernment could see how gaudy these flowers were.The place cards on the table were arranged neatly, one of which was Tan Lin, and next to it were the team leader, Teacher Yang... and so on, the most important figures in this reception.Today, Tan Lin will premiere "Swan Lake". Once it succeeds, this place will be her celebration party. Of course, the most colorful part of the report must be reserved for the famous 32 laps of "whiplash". A layman who doesn't know the ropes and only looks at the technology will find it difficult to do well.Liang Fu held her chin and thought with some self-deprecation that she accomplished this achievement when she was eighteen years old, and now Tan Lin is twenty-one. After all, he is the youngest record holder in the dance company, and this crown has not been taken off yet."Teacher Liang!" The shouts of the people hanging the banner interrupted Liang Fu's thoughts, "Please help me, is this banner correct? Is it hanging out?"Liang Fu smiled and said: "That's right."She got up and meandered towards the practice room to find someone to guide Tan Lin in the final preparations before the performance.That night, Tan Lin's "Swan Lake" premiered with great success.Liang Fu stood behind the scenes and heard waves of applause outside. When the curtain fell, Tan Lin came straight to her, hugged her tightly, and said excitedly: "Teacher Liang! I did it!!"Liang Fu smiled and patted her on the back, vaguely remembering that she had been so excited to welcome Teacher Yang's hug many years ago."The curtain call will take place soon, so don't ruin your makeup by crying."Tan Lin buried her face in her neck and shoulder and couldn't help but nod.After the performance, Tan Lin went directly to the newly decorated press room without changing her clothes. As soon as she entered, the sound of shutters could be heard, and the flash was brighter than the lights.Liang Fu sat on the chair at the end of the first row, waiting for Tan Lin to invite her to the press stage in a strange ceremony. Yes, she also has a role today, as an important supporting role in "the former chief fell silent for a long time after suffering an injury, and continued to strive for self-improvement and cultivated his beloved disciple to become famous in one fell swoop." The dance company said it wanted to give an explanation to the audience who were curious about her follow-up.Liang Fu quietly looked at Tan Lin behind the bouquet, who was holding a microphone and answering reporters' questions in an orderly manner. Those questions had routines. She had faced them thousands of times in the past, and she could blurt out a set of perfect answers without thinking.It's strange that the flowers are not so gaudy when contrasting with the high-spirited Tan Lin.Reporter: "During the preparation of "Swan Lake", did Ms. Tan have any episodes worth sharing with us?"Tan Lin: "Yes. Due to my lack of experience, my teacher Liang Fu gave me great support during this period..."Following her gaze, more than a dozen long guns and short cannons moved towards the innermost position of the row.That seat had been empty for some time.Liang Fu walked out of the press hall, walked through the red-carpeted corridor, passed through the corridor with warning signs, and left the building.Under the old locust tree in front of the building, looking at the rough-edged moon in the sky, she wanted to smoke a cigarette for the first time in a long time, but she remembered that she had discarded the cigarette case and lighter for a long time.In the autumn when she was injured, she went to see Teacher Yang and explained that she wanted to stay in the troupe to teach and specifically guide Tan Lin's decision, but Teacher Yang did not agree with her decision.Teacher Yang said: "The person who shines in the center of the stage is not suitable to be a foil for others."She didn't believe this at first.Without permission, she disrupted the script arranged for the press conference early in the morning. On the way back, Liang Fu's cell phone kept ringing, guessing that the director of the publicity department was looking for her. Liang Fu didn't read it, let alone reply. She already understands the righteousness of the dance company whose negligence ruined her career.When she got home, Fu Yucheng hadn't arrived yet.He was always working overtime this time, and when he encountered a difficult case, he often didn't return until the early hours of the morning.After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she went to the refrigerator to find ingredients and the unfinished scallops she bought. She sent a message to Fu Yucheng, who replied that he would be home only at 12:30 and told her to go to bed first and not wait.She did not sleep. She sat in the living room in a daze for a while. When she was disturbed by the spreading anxiety and became restless, she got up to knead the dough, beat the eggs, weigh the sugar and chocolate... The baked cake was covered with When the oven is rolled out, many emotions seem to disappear in an instant.Fu Yucheng arrived home at 00:40, ten minutes later than scheduled.Opening the door with the key, the light was on, and Liang Fu's voice came from the kitchen, "You're back."Fu Yucheng was surprised, "You haven't slept yet?"A group of footsteps walked towards the restaurant, Liang Fu was holding a plate in her hand, and there was a strong smell of garlic. Fu Yucheng changed his shoes and walked over, put his briefcase on the sofa, pulled off his tie and sat down at the dining table.The grilled scallops with garlic vermicelli really made him move his index finger, but the smile on Liang Fu's face that didn't reach her eyes made him even more worried, so he smiled and asked: "...What's wrong? Why did you suddenly think of making me a midnight snack?" ""You work overtime so late, and I don't wait for you every time. Isn't that a dereliction of duty?""I told you to go to bed early."Liang Fu looked at him and said with a smile: "I will wait for you from now on.""It's really not necessary. Besides, I'll be fine after I've been busy for a while.""I'll wait for you." She insisted, then thought of something, got up and walked towards the kitchen, "I also baked a chocolate cake, do you want to eat it?"Fu Yucheng looked at her leaning on the island table, taking photos of the freshly baked chocolate cake. The hungry feeling he felt when he got home disappeared in an instant.He didn't even mention his chopsticks, he stood up and walked over to her, grabbing the phone from her hand, "Afu, don't do this anymore. I usually go home to take a shower and go to bed after working overtime. If you're hungry, there's a convenience store downstairs. ." He changed the subject, "Aren't your students performing "Swan Lake" tonight? What was the result?"Liang Fu raised her head, looked at him and smiled. Fu Yucheng couldn't tell what the smile meant, "Why? Do you think the food I cook is not delicious?""No..." Again. Fu Yucheng had a headache and put his arm around her waist, "I'm afraid you'll be tired.""I don't feel tired, I'm willing to eat the scallops while they're hot."Fu Yucheng returned to his seat and took out chopsticks to eat.Liang Fu finished sending her status to Moments and looked at him with a smile on her chin, "Do you think I am a competent wife?"Fu Yucheng choked on the garlic and coughed, "Of course.""That's good." She smiled.Fu Yucheng took a shower and went back to his room to rest. The big light in the room was turned off, but the small bedside lamp was still burning. He didn't know if Liang Fu was asleep, so he walked softly, but heard Liang Fu whisper from the quilt, "It seems your birthday is coming.""I'm busy with work, so this year will be over.""You were busy with your graduation thesis last year and didn't pass it.""Just an ordinary day."Fu Yucheng lay down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders, wanting to give her a hug.Liang Fu suddenly turned around, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Do you think that on your birthday, I will think about my injury?"Fu Yucheng subconsciously denied it, "No.""That's it." Liang Fu said with a knowing look, "It's been so long and you're still brooding about it? I don't even care anymore."Fu Yucheng didn't know what to say, so he was silent for a while, then simply leaned over to kiss her. She giggled and hid behind, but was soon restrained by Fu Yucheng and had nowhere to escape, so she calmly abandoned her armor and let him control her.It seems that now they only have no inhibitions when making love, and only enjoy the most vivid pleasure.

At the end of every month, there is a family dinner at the Liang family's suburban villa. The time is not fixed, mostly to accommodate Zhang Pingyu's work arrangements.During the dinner, everyone reported on their current situation. Liang Andao was quite satisfied with Fu Yucheng's work. Sometimes when Fu Yucheng was confused, he would take the opportunity to make a few remarks.Fu Yucheng and Liang Andao talked about a newly concluded lawsuit at the law firm. Liang Andao put down his glass and said in a deep voice: "Acheng, your senior brother Cheng, let me tell you something.""You say.""He said that the case your law firm is dealing with may not be assigned to you for the time being. Because you have recently won two cases in a row, there are still some colleagues in the law firm who have not missed opportunities to practice. He knows that you are very capable, but You also have to balance some other things. So I asked you to tell me so that you don't worry too much."Fu Yucheng said with a smile: "Senior brother is the head of a law firm, so all aspects must be considered when arranging work. There is no need to worry about me."Of course Fu Yucheng knew that it was because someone in the institute had criticized him and felt that he had misappropriated other people's resources by relying on his special relationship with Cheng Fangping.Liang Andao nodded and said: "You know the general outline, just understand it."After they finished speaking, Fu Yucheng heard Zhang Pingyu say to Liang Fu: "...I'm going to Morocco next week. If you are free then, take me to the airport."Fu Yucheng then asked: "Master is going to Morocco? Have the itinerary been arranged?"When he first got married to Liang Fu, Fu Yucheng tried to change his words, but Zhang Pingyu said that it was still easy for "Master Mu" to listen to him, so there was no need to change his words.Zhang Pingyu said with a smile: "Qingqu went there a few years ago and asked him to help me make a guide. He recommended all the delicious and fun things. It was quite detailed. Mr. Master, do you have anything you need to ask your master to bring? ?Fu Yucheng said with a smile: "There is no shortage of things, just have fun."Fu Yucheng turned his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression expressionless.At the end of the day, it's all little things. But it was a clear reminder to him that this journey, which he had to work hard day and night, would not end yet.After dinner, drive home. Liang Fu had already closed her eyes and fell asleep in the passenger seat. Her long eyelashes drooped gently in the light. He looked at her with infinite tenderness in his tiredness.Afraid that she would catch cold while sleeping, he took a thin blanket from the back seat and put it on her.The cell phone rang at this time. Worried about waking Liang Fu, Fu Yucheng quickly picked it up.It was Shao Lei, with an urgent voice: "Fuck! Old man, I accompanied my goddess to a cocktail party today, guess who I met at the scene!"Fu Yucheng's eyelids twitched. Shao Lei couldn't wait for him to guess, and couldn't wait to announce the answer: "Wei Xun! It's the rumored Wei Xun! Don't tell me, he is really wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looks like a human. Now he seems to be doing it What about the wine business? I cooperated with my friends and it was quite successful..."The sound gradually disappeared into his ears. When he came to his senses, Shao Lei had finished howling and asked him: "Hey, old master, are you listening?""Listening. Got it.""...Is this your reaction?""How else do I have to react?""You are not afraid..."Fu Yucheng glanced at the sleeping Liang Fu and thought that he still had the confidence to trust her wholeheartedly.
