Time flew by, and new footsteps quietly approached. Schools in Guangzhou were bustling with preparations for the Welcome Party, a grand event to welcome the new school year. The senior students were overwhelmed by their heavy academic workload, leaving them little enthusiasm to participate in the evening's festivities. However, the school's arrangements were not to be ignored; each class was required to send representatives.
Lin Dongzhe knew well his sister Lin Xiao Yu's passion for dance. Observing her somewhat dejected demeanor, he looked at her with encouragement in his eyes. "Xiao Yu, you love dancing so much. Why not sign up and give it a try? This is a great opportunity!" Lu Zean, who was nearby listening to their conversation, raised an eyebrow and scrutinized Lin Xiao Yu before saying, "You enjoy dancing? It seems to match your cool demeanor quite well. If you decide to dance, I can accompany you on the piano. My solo should add a lot to your performance."
As Lin Xiao Yu listened to them, a ripple of excitement stirred within her. She envisioned herself gracefully dancing on stage and bit her lip, thinking it might be worth a shot. Thus, with the encouragement and support of Lin Dongzhe and Lu Zean, they both signed up together. From that moment on, Lin Xiao Yu eagerly yet nervously immersed herself in preparing for the party's program, while Lin Dongzhe and Lu Zean offered their full assistance, as a spectacular performance seemed to be slowly unfolding.
After signing up, preparations for the Welcome Party kicked off in full swing. Suzhou began brainstorming ideas for her dance as soon as class ended. Combining her Jiangnan Water Town essence, she decided to choose a dance that blended classical and modern elements. In the school's Dance Studio, she practiced each movement repeatedly, from the gentle swaying of her hands to the agile shifts of her feet, constantly refining details in pursuit of perfection. During her practice, Suzhou encountered difficulties with the fluidity of her movements. No matter how hard she tried, one particular transition always felt awkward and abrupt, leaving her quite frustrated and shaken in confidence.
Lu Zean noticed Suzhou's struggle. After carefully observing the problematic segment of her dance, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Lin Xiao Yu, look here; the rhythm between your movements is a bit off. You might want to slow down the speed of this turn and add some curvature to your arm extension so that the energy flows from your waist to your fingertips gradually." As he spoke, Lu Zean demonstrated himself. Though his posture was not as graceful as Lin Xiao Yu's, the fluidity and rhythm of his movements inspired her greatly.
Following Lu Zean's advice during practice brought Suzhou closer to achieving the desired feeling; however, it still lacked something essential. Lu Zean patiently guided her to feel the rhythm of the music. Sitting at the piano, he played the accompaniment while describing its ebb and flow: "When the music becomes gentle here, your movements should soften accordingly—like water plants swaying in a stream; when it reaches this slightly intense part, your actions need more force and tension."
Under Lu Zean's attentive guidance and companionship, Suzhou gradually found her rhythm and successfully resolved her movement transitions. Her dance became increasingly polished and fluid; every turn and leap brimmed with grace. Lu Zean's piano accompaniment also grew more harmonious with her dance as music and movement intertwined beautifully. Meanwhile, Lin Dongzhe took on logistical support tasks; he helped gather props needed for the dance—such as flowing ribbons and exquisite fans—and searched for suitable costume rental shops with Suzhou to select outfits that matched both the theme of the dance and showcased her unique charm. During every rehearsal, he watched attentively from the sidelines, providing water for his sister while noting areas for improvement and offering encouragement and praise.
When Suzhou appeared at the side of the stage, all eyes were instantly drawn to her. She wore a fiery red dress that resembled flames—its vibrant color and soft texture hugged her figure perfectly, accentuating her slender waist and graceful curves. The hem of her dress fluttered gently with each step she took, resembling a red lotus blooming in the night. Her long hair cascaded like black satin over her shoulders; a few strands playfully curled beside her cheeks, enhancing her porcelain-like complexion. The coolness in her eyes was softened by the vividness of the red dress, adding an alluring charm.
At center stage sat Lu Zean upright at the piano. He wore an exquisite black suit with a simple yet elegant bow tie that accentuated his long neck even more. His fingers lightly rested on the keys as he slightly lowered his head in focused calmness.
At that moment, special effect lights on stage quietly illuminated. Azure blue spotlights bathed Lu Zean in tranquil moonlight-like glow that outlined his coolly mysterious silhouette; it seemed as if azure blue spirits danced upon the keys under his fingertips. When Suzhou stepped into center stage, warm red spotlights enveloped her instantly, making her dress appear even more dazzling—as if draping her in radiant clouds.
As Lu Zean's fingers struck the first note on the piano, Suzhou began to dance gracefully. Each movement seemed intricately connected to Lu Zean’s melodies; under her motion, the red dress transformed into a burning flame tracing beautiful arcs through the air. His music resonated deeply—sometimes rich and mellow like a profound pool of water; at other times bright and crisp like bubbling mountain springs—as his gaze followed Suzhou’s every move filled with admiration and affection. Occasionally glancing toward Lu Zean brought an electric spark when their eyes met—a subtle yet ambiguous atmosphere flowed between them.
During a climactic moment of their performance, silver smoke billowed from behind them like dreamy gossamer swirling between them. The Dry Ice Machine released vast clouds of white mist that slowly rose around them as if they were standing atop ethereal clouds in another realm. Suzhou twirled amidst this misty light show; her red dress flickered in and out of view while Lu Zean’s music pierced through layers of effects—intertwining seamlessly with her dance—creating an enchanting world where only they existed together immersed in shared understanding and emotional connection—a breathtaking auditory-visual feast presented before their audience below.
