Chapter 175: The Trustworthy Man

Gu Xinxin smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter whether you prepare a feast or not. Let’s hurry up to work. We only have two days, and we will do our best to choreograph.”

While Gu Xinxin was talking, she was looking at Xiao Bing. There was some emotion in her beautiful eyes. Of course, she could not fall in love with Xiao Bing. She was just conquered by Xiao Bing’s wonderful music, so she was curious about this man.

Li Cuipeng looked Liu Kexin up and down. He nodded and said, “Good, her figure is very good. She has the potential to dance. It is a pity, though. She could’ve been a first-class dancer if she was trained by us in the early years. It’s a bit late now.”

Liu Kexin said shyly, “Mr. Li, actually, I am a nurse. This is for attending a gala, so we’ve invited you to come here. It doesn’t matter whether I can become a dancer or not. As long as I can cope with the gala, it’s enough. I love my current career.”

Gu Xinxin said, “Yes, a person must be like this. No matter what he is doing, he must love his career. Only in this way can he do his job well. You are outstanding!”

Liu Kexin stuck her tongue out and was a little shy.

Gu Xinxin smiled and said, “Adorable little sister, we are here. Since you have also been professionally trained for a while, there won’t be big problems to help you cope with a gala this time. But both of us are very strict. Even if it’s easy to cope with an ordinary gala, after all, you are trained by us, it is not enough to be so-so. We don’t want to lose face. If you can’t stand the intensity of the training, just tell us and we will leave now.”

Li Cuipeng said, “I feel the same way.”

Liu Kexin thought, “They were invited by Brother Xiao. It must have been a strain for him to do so. For whatever reason, even if it’s only for Brother Xiao, I can’t make him ashamed. Even if I will have a very rough time, I must stick it out.”

So Liu Kexin said firmly, “Rest assured, I can do that.”

“That’s good.” Gu Xinxin said, “Let’s start rehearsing now. Oh, what dance shall we rehearse this time?”

Liu Kexin said without thinking, “Let’s rehearse a dance with ‘Mariage d’amour’ which was just played by Brother Xiao.”

“Good, there is a ready-made dance. We will make a slight change according to your physical condition. When the time comes, you will definitely amaze the audience!”

Li Cuipeng and Gu Xinxin were indeed master-level dancers. They first let Liu Kexin dance alone. Even Xiao Bing as a non-professional could see that Liu Kexin hadn’t been dancing for a long time, as his movements didn’t flow smoothly. After the two master-level dancers’ guidance, the difference could soon be seen.

Then the two of them began to teach Liu Kexin a new dance to go with Xiao Bing’s piano music. They were particularly strict with each movement, and they always pointed out Liu Kexin’s mistakes.

Xiao Bing also did some research on dance. When Xiao Bing had been at the Dragon Teeth, he actually studied under the world’s top dancers and musicians. For the soldiers of the Dragon Teeth, it was always good to have more skills. Sometimes when they executed special tasks, they needed to pose as other people, so they had to learn a lot of skills. Of course, not everyone had the talent to learn all kinds of skills. Xiao Bing was the only all-rounder in the whole of Dragon Teeth.

Xiao Bing was good at singing compared with non-professional singers but was a lot worse than professional singers, and Xiao Bing was also good at playing musical instruments. Although Xiao Bing could not compare with professionals, he was extremely talented in playing the piano. He was even close to master level. Xiao Bing also knew about dance. He dared not compare himself with famous dancers but was better than Liu Kexin.

After training the whole day, Liu Kexin could already dance skillfully, but it was not perfect in the eyes of two strict teachers. In the evening, the two teachers declined Xiao Bing’s invitation to dinner to welcome them, but said they will have a celebration feast together after the successful performance at the gala. Before the gala, they asked Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin to make full use of the time to cooperate and strive for the best results.

The two teachers left at six o’clock that evening, but Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin practiced until 8 o’clock before leaving. Liu Kexin sat in Xiao Bing’s car and kept massaging her legs. Xiao Bing looked at her pitiful state and said with a smile, “How’s it going? You must be tired.”

“A little bit…” Liu Kexin sighed, “Nothing is easy. But I will stick it out no matter how tough and tiring it is. The two teachers didn’t even let us invite them to dinner. They taught me so patiently, I can’t embarrass them. And Brother Xiao, you have invited the teachers here. If I can’t satisfy the teachers, I will also embarrass you.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I have confidence in you. It is so late now. It’s hard to work on an empty stomach, what would you like to eat? I will take you out for dinner.”

Liu Kexin said, “Or let’s go to my home, my parents will definitely have left me some food.”

Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Let’s have dinner out, just to accompany me.”

Liu Kexin thought for a moment and nodded. Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Then I will look for some random place, as long as you don’t mind.”

Xiao Bing pulled the car over. The two sat down at the roadside stall, and Xiao Bing ordered two bowls of instant noodles, some kebabs and two bottles of beer.

Liu Kexin waved her hand and said, “I don’t drink alcohol, and you have to drive.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “It’s okay, my capacity for liquor…”

“No!” Liu Kexin’s eyes widened. Although she was usually shy, when it came to matters of principle, she was more stubborn and insistent than anyone else. “Drunk driving is already illegal as it is. But even if you have not been caught by the police, aren’t you irresponsible for your own life? Aren’t you irresponsible for the lives of others? Brother Xiao, you used to be a soldier. Why did you become a soldier? Wasn’t it to protect our homes and defend our country? Wasn’t it to have a sense of honor and responsibility that you became a soldier? Then what are you doing now?”

Liu Kexin’s criticism suddenly woke Xiao Bing up. Perhaps he had retired for too long, he even began to relax his self-restraint. “Yes, I am a soldier myself. If I don’t restrain myself and abide by the laws of the country, then what am I?”

Xiao Bing respected Liu Kexin’s words and shouted to the boss, “Sir, we don’t want beer any more. Please give us two bottles of something else. Liu Kexin, what do you want to drink?”

Liu Kexin smiled happily and said, “I want a bottle of black tea.”

Xiao Bing said, “Then two bottles of black tea, please.”

“Okay.” The boss said with a smile as he went to get the black tea, “Young man, your girlfriend is good. She’s very sensible and pretty. You are blessed to find someone like her.”

Liu Kexin blushed. She opened her mouth to explain but Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Yes, I’m blessed, I’m blessed.”

Liu Kexin rolled her eyes to Xiao Bing and said, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Why don’t you explain then?”

“Forget it, what’s there to explain…” Liu Kexin said in her heart, “You’ve already told him. If I explained again, you will lose face. You can have this unfair advantage this time. Anyway, it is just a verbal advantage, it’s not a big deal.”

The kebabs were served. Instant noodles and drinks were also brought. Xiao Bing took the bowl and said, “I’m too hungry, I’ll eat it first!”

Saying that, he gobbled the noodles. Watching Xiao Bing’s hungry look, Liu Kexin smiled and her stomach growled too. She licked her lips and began to eat too. Although she was hungry, she was much more refined than Xiao Bing. After all, she was a girl, so she should pay attention to her outward appearance.

They ate very little at noon, especially Liu Kexin, because she couldn’t eat too much while dancing. But now it was already 8 o’clock in the evening. They hadn’t eaten anything since that bit of lunch at noon. They’d be lying if they said they weren’t hungry.

A bowl of instant noodles was not enough for Xiao Bing, so he wolfed down a scone and a few kebabs before he finally stopped. He was almost full as he started nibbling at other foods, while Liu Kexin was just leisurely finishing her bowl of instant noodles.

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “I can’t stand you girls. You are obviously very hungry but you still take small bites.”

Liu Kexin couldn’t help but smile and said, “Can’t we girls care about our image? Well, I don’t eat too much. You have to eat more of these kebabs as I can’t finish them all.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Let’s have them together. By the way, is your family okay with you going home so late?”

“It doesn’t matter, I have already told my parents that my trustworth friend will take me back.”

Xiao Bing felt warm in his heart. He smiled happily and said, “A trustworthy friend? Are you talking about me?”

Liu Kexin’s head was lowered, and she whispered, “Who else can it be?”

“Haha, I’m very flattered. But Kexin, why do you think I am a trustworthy friend? You trust people too much. In fact, we haven’t known each other for very long, and you don’t even know my identity.”

“Well… how should I put it? Man on earth, good at birth. I believe that there are still more good people in this world, and I trust my eyes…”

“Your eyes?” Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Do you come from the alchemy furnace of Lord Lao Zi that you can make me out as a good person?”

Xiao Bing was just joking and didn’t expect Liu Kexin to actually nod and say, “Yes, I can tell that you are a good person because I can see something in you which I also have.”

“Oh? What?”

Liu Kexin’s eyes lit up and the words she spoke had a sacred air to it, “The respect for life!”
