Before Feng Yu could knock on the door, the door opened, and Elena appeared. Was Elena waiting for him by the door all this while, and opened the door when she heard his footsteps?
“Mr. Feng, you are here? Here are the slippers for you to change.”
Elena placed a pair of slippers on the floor and squat down to help Feng Yu remove his shoes.
“Elena, how have you been?”
“Very good. I became the lead dancer, and there I am assigned with a personal teacher. Mr. Kirilenko told me that you are the one who arranged for it.” Elena looked at Feng Yu with her big eyes.
I am the one who arranged it? How come I am not aware of it? I owe Kirilenko favor.
“But you must have put in a lot of hard work. If not, you will also not become the lead dancer.” Feng Yu could still remember Elena’s dance clearly.
“Mr. Feng, I learned a new dance, and I will be performing in front of your country’s leaders tomorrow. Can I show you this dance first?”
Feng Yu felt Elena was like a kitten seeking attention. She wants the focus of her master and hopes her master would cuddle her more.
Feng Yu sat on a chair and nodded to Elena: “Alright. I still have you seen you dance alone.”
Elena immediately changed into her dancing shoes and press the play button on a Walkman, before getting into position. This was Aiwa’s latest model of Walkman. The speakers were loud and clear.
As the music starts, Elena started to dance. Ballet was originated from Italy and became famous by the Soviet Union. Until today, the world’s best ballet dancers and troupe were from Russia and not from Italy.
Feng Yu felt that Ballet was like Soccer. The country that invents it might not be better than the others.
Feng Yu felt like he was watching a movie as Elena dance and spin in the small space of the hotel room.
Ballet dancers had the same characteristics. Their arms, legs, and necks were long and had good postures. They were trained since young and will look confident even without doing anything.
The dancing Elena gave Feng Yu this feeling. She was usually timid and shy, but when the music starts, she became another person. Someone confident and proud.
The dance was about 10 minutes, and when the music ends, Feng Yu clapped.
“Mr. Feng, what do you think of my dance?” Elena was waiting for Feng Yu to praise her.
“Your dance is perfect. My mood became better when I see you dance.” Feng Yu was telling the truth. Not everyone could see Elena dance so close.
“Are you able to watch my performance tomorrow?” Elena looked at Feng Yu. Feng Yu could not bear to reject her, but she will be dancing for China’s top leaders, and Feng Yu was not qualified to enter the venue.
“Elena, I am only a businessman. I can’t watch your performance tomorrow.”
Elena was disappointed. But she immediately smiled. “It’s okay. If Mr. Feng wants to watch me dance in the future, you can come to Moscow.”
“Ok. I promise you that I will definitely go to Moscow to watch you dance.”
“Great. Mr. Feng, let me massage your shoulders. When I am at home, I will massage my mother. She says it felt good.”
Feng Yu nodded. Elena went behind Feng Yu and started massaging him. Her strength and techniques were good, and Feng Yu felt really relaxed.
After a while, Elena told Feng Yu: “Mr. Feng, are you tired? Do you want to take a shower?”
Feng Yu stood up, and Elena helped to undress him. Even Japanese women might not be as obedient and gentle as her. Feng Yu really like Elena.
When Feng Yu entered the bathroom, Elena appeared at the door and ask: “I am sweaty after the dance. Can I bath with you?”
Which man would reject this beautiful woman? Bath? To hell with bath. There were more important things to do!
……
Elena was clinging on Feng Yu as they walked out of the bathroom. She was like an octopus hugging Feng Yu tightly. When round 2 was over, Elena laid on Feng Yu chest quietly.
“Elena, there is something I need to tell you.”
Elena shook her head: “Mr. Feng, you don’t need to say anything. I understand.” After saying that, she opened a drawer beside the bed. There was a pill there, and she swallowed it.
“Mr. Feng, I understand that you will not marry me. I know. But I really love you. I do not wish for you to remain by my side. I just hope you can visit me when you are free.”
What Feng Yu wanted to say was not this. He suddenly felt guilty for not being able to give any promises to this sweet girl.
“Elena, other than dancing, what else do you like?”
“Sing. But my vocals are not very good. I can sing a song call . Mr. Kirilenko told me that you are the one who wrote this song. In Moscow, many people love this song.” Elena looked at Feng Yu with admiration.
“Other than singing and dancing? Do you have any other wish?”
“No. I was already living with my mother and had entered Moscow top Ballet Company, Bolshoi Ballet. This is the world’s best Ballet troupe.”
Feng Yu had heard of this Company. was premiered by this Company. Elena had already fulfilled her dream to enter this Company and become the leading dancer.
Elena was only 15 years old now. It was impossible for her to continue dancing forever. She should have other hobbies and interests.
“Elena, how is the house you are staying with your mother? I will buy a bigger house for you.”
“No need. Only my mother and I are staying in the house. If the house is bigger, it will feel very empty. We do not need anything. Both of us are working, and we can take care of ourselves.” Elena stubbornly said.
“You can learn how to drive. It will be more convenient if you have a car. Don’t reject me. Just accept whatever I give you.” Feng Yu said.
“Yes.” Elena lowered her head. She had a blissful smile on her face. Compared to her friends in the troupe, she was the luckiest.
Mr. Feng was not rough on her and treated her well. He was also competent, and no other men could be compared to him. Although she does not know if she could be with Feng Yu forever, she realized that she had fallen in love with him. No matter how Feng Yu treated her, he will always have a place in her heart.
