Chapter 4
: A Massive Scene of Fawning
Because their seats were close together, the young lady laughed so happily that her slender shoulders would occasionally brush against Mo Yu's arm, bringing a slight chill. Her already pretty face became even more lively, and her beautiful collarbones rose and fell slightly with the trembling of her shoulders, like two butterflies about to take flight.
After laughing, she calmed her breathing and rolled her eyes at Mo Yu with her eyes that were like black grapes soaked in water. "You're really dishonest. People ask you serious questions, and you're talking nonsense."
The middle-aged man opposite him chuckled and said, "You're quite the joker, young man. With your delicate skin, you probably wouldn't last even half a day if you were to actually carry bricks."
His wife, standing beside him, tugged at his sleeve and gave him a look: "The young man and woman are chatting, what are you doing, an old man, getting in on the scene?"
The uncle smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
Mo Yu chuckled at the middle-aged couple before saying to the young woman, "You see, this is the helplessness of honest people. They're telling the truth, so why doesn't anyone believe them?"
The young woman was amused and annoyed by Mo Yu's words. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, you said you were going to do manual labor. Even if you're struggling financially, you can apply for a student grant after you go to university. Why do you have to go to the capital to do manual labor?"
"Because I need to save money to get married."
"Hey...you..." The young lady didn't want to talk to him anymore; this guy never told the truth.
"I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you."
Seeing the girl's expression, Mo Yu knew she didn't believe him, so she quickly explained.
"I was just admitted to Yongcheng Normal University, and my mom keeps urging me to find a girlfriend so I can get married after graduation. I got annoyed by her nagging, so I thought I'd come to the capital for a few days to play and earn some money for living expenses, in preparation for finding a girlfriend in the future."
"Ah...you little brat, how old are you, and you're already being pressured to get married?" The young woman was taken aback at first, then covered her mouth and laughed.
"I'm already nineteen. The law stipulates that men are eligible to get married at twenty-two. I'm just preparing for the future."
"You..." The young lady laughed even more happily.
Looking at the smiling beauty, Mo Yu's heart stirred: "Look... since I've already explained my career plans, could this kind young lady please reveal her name? In case I get lost in the capital, I'll have someone to ask for help, right?"
The young woman pursed her lips, twirling a strand of hair that fell across her chest with her fingers, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "My name is Mi Le, Mi as in rice, Le as in happiness. I'm a sophomore at the Beijing Dance Academy, and I've returned to school early this time."
"Are you a student at the Beijing Dance Academy?"
Now it was Mo Yu's turn to be surprised. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, the capital city is home to almost all the art colleges in the country.
Leaving aside other institutions like the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Conservatory of Music, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the Central Academy of Drama, the Central Conservatory of Music, the China-US Film Academy, and the Beijing Dance Academy, when it comes to the top dance school, if the Beijing Dance Academy claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.
For this reason, the admission requirements for Beijing Dance Academy are almost outrageously strict. Only about 300 students are admitted each year, and no student who can get into Beijing Dance Academy is an ordinary person.
"How come... it doesn't look like it?" Mi Le looked at the surprised Mo Yu, feeling great. She narrowed her eyes and gently tapped the table leg with her slender feet, which were originally side by side, like a ragdoll cat taking a nap after eating and drinking its fill. Anyone familiar with the temperament of a kitten knows that this is an action that a kitten will do when it is full and in a good mood.
"Like...of course I want to." Mo Yu nodded quickly.
He had no doubt about this. Miler's amazing waist-to-body ratio was indeed a gift from God, and it would be a waste if she didn't dance.
"By the way... what's your name?"
"My name is Mo Yu."
"Slacking off..." Upon hearing this name, Mi Le couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Are you preparing for the grueling life after graduation?"
"I knew it."
Seeing Miler's expression, Mo Yu said helplessly, "I knew it would be like this. I've been laughed at countless times because of my name since I was a child."
"I'm sorry." Miler was clearly a very well-mannered girl. After laughing a few times, she realized her mistake and quickly apologized to Mo Yu.
"It's okay... I'm used to it."
Mo Yu waved her hand, then asked curiously, "It's not even the start of the school year yet. Are you going to the capital so early to go back to school?"
"yes."
Miler nodded.
"Why?" Mo Yu didn't understand. Wasn't it comfortable staying at home? She could eat her fill every day and even had fruit from time to time. In her previous life, she never had such conditions.
"Oh dear, you don't know that."
Miler said with some distress, "You know how we dancers are. If we don't practice for a day, we know it ourselves; if we don't practice for a week, the audience knows it."
Every day when I go to the park for morning exercise, I am surrounded by a large crowd of people. Countless eyes are staring at me like nails, but even so, I have to grit my teeth and continue my morning exercise.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Almost every time I go for my morning exercise, someone comes up to me and asks for my phone number and contact information.
These people include not only young people, but also quite a few elderly men and women... I... I really can't stand it...
Although he knew he shouldn't interrupt the two young people, the middle-aged man across from him couldn't help but chime in, "That's not surprising... Young lady, you're so outstanding and beautiful. If my son were a few years older, I would also ask for your contact information."
Mo Yu asked curiously, "Uncle... how old is your child?"
The middle-aged man sighed: "The eldest son just got married, and the second son is still in kindergarten."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mo Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter. After laughing, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "No wonder my mom used to say that if a family has a daughter, a hundred families will want her. If you see an outstanding girl, you should hurry up and make your move. It's so true!"
"You..." Miler gave him a reproachful look.
"Beautiful lady... so you're from Beijing Dance Academy."
Just then, a head popped out from next door, its eyes shining so brightly they were practically glowing. It was the young man from before.
When the young man suddenly interrupted, Mi Le's smiling expression immediately turned cold. It seemed that this guy didn't make a good impression on her, since he had almost knocked her over just now. So she just gave a curt reply.
"Um!"
Even a blind man could see Miler's attitude. Anyone with a modicum of sense would have backed down by now, but this guy seemed to be blinded by lust and didn't notice at all, instead continuing on.
"Beautiful lady...what a coincidence."
Look, we're all from Nanning, and Beihang University isn't far from your school.
I've always admired your school, but I've been too busy with my studies to visit. I never expected to meet someone as outstanding as you today, especially since you're from the same hometown! Isn't that a coincidence?
