Chapter 16
After last night’s Orientation Gala.
I passed the assessment and officially joined the Ballet Club.
There happened to be four rooms on the second floor, one for each of us.
My body ached unbearably, my feet felt as heavy as lead, and I could barely walk.
Deng Xingxing and Cheng Youran, who had always treated me coldly, suddenly stepped forward and helped me with my suitcase.
“Ji Xia…” They looked at me with concern.
I broke down, pushing away the suitcase and bursting into tears: “Why? Why me? Why didn’t you stop me!”
The hot-tempered Deng Xingxing came over and hugged me tightly.
Her voice was filled with sorrow: “I’m sorry. I should have done everything I could to stop you.”
Her apology made me feel even worse.
I slowly pushed her away, sobbing intermittently:
“I’m sorry, I brought this on myself. You tried to stop me. It’s my own fault.”
Qin Xue stood not far away, gazing at us with a look of compassion.
It was the quiet and reserved Cheng Youran who squeezed out a sentence: “Crying won’t help. Stand up.”
And so, my college life officially began.
Apart from classes, it was all dance training. I thought I could numb myself this way.
Fortunately, most of campus life was calm and peaceful.
Most of the time, Deng Xingxing, Cheng Youran, and Qin Xue were quiet and silent too.
They even took good care of me, the junior, and taught me many dance techniques.
I blocked Teacher Zhang, but unexpectedly, a month later, she came to the club to find me herself.
She looked around my room, quite satisfied: “Ji Xia, it seems you’re doing well here. At least I can give your parents an answer now.”
Before I came to this school, my father, who couldn’t walk, held Teacher Zhang’s hand and thanked her profusely.
Thanked her for giving me such a good opportunity to study, thanked her for helping lighten our family’s burden, thanked her for treating me like her own sister.
Even my mother, who was usually muddle-headed, was unusually clear-minded for once and said to Teacher Zhang, “Thank you, please take care of Xiaxia…”
