Chapter 99: Finding Myself (6)
Guisha's heart was not focused on the performance, but he always thought of the figure on the stage as Yinyin beside him. Guisha was not a person who liked dancing, but ever since he saw Yinyin's dance, he would always think of the dancing figure as Yinyin, because that figure had already been deeply engraved in his heart.
After a long time, the show was not over yet, so Yinyin left with Guisha. The boat took them directly back to the inn where they lived. Maybe because of the show, the inn was not as lively and crowded as before. Yinyin went directly back to her own villa, not in a hurry to go back to the room. Yinyin and Guisha sat together at the stone table in the garden and admired the moonlight. The existence of Guisha was no longer a secret, so no one would ask about it...
“I can still hear the sound.”
"Um."
After all, Yinyin's inn was located by the lake. If she returned to her room, she could still see the performance on the lake, but she did not go back. Guisha could see that Yinyin seemed very different tonight. To be specific, it should be after she watched the performance. He did not know Yinyin like this very well...
"I heard Sister Fu Ji say that a dance can reveal the dancer's inner heart, and from it one can find the essence, that is, the self."
"Oh? You believe it?"
"Well, at least I agree."
"...Dancing?"
Reflecting a person's inner dance, Guisha chuckled. Maybe what Yinyin said was right, but how many people can be like that?
"I don't have all the memories of the past, but I have remembered dancing. Perhaps it is because of my body's memory that whenever I dance, I feel very comfortable and can forget my troubles. I subconsciously think that is the real me, especially when I dance alone under the moonlight. I always feel that there is something I want to pursue."
"search?"
"I think it feels like nostalgia, because I feel like I'm not alone."
Guisha didn't say anything, just looked at Yinyin quietly. Yinyin seldom spoke her mind like this, and the feeling Yinyin gave people was a little different from usual. Perhaps it was really because of the influence of tonight's show. Guisha suddenly felt that the body's reaction was more real than memory, judging from Yinyin's situation.
"…Perhaps only with a calm mind can one feel things that one cannot normally feel."
After a moment of silence, Guisha broke the silence. This time, Yinyin didn't speak. Unlike Guisha, she was calm and composed. Yinyin's expression was obviously a little sad, but there was a little tenderness in the sadness, which surprised Guisha again. Guisha also knew that Yinyin's unprecedented tenderness was only for one person.
After a while, a breeze woke up Yinyin from her deep thoughts. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, a faint smile on her lips. Without saying anything, she walked aside in the surprised eyes of Guisha, and slightly spread her hands as if she was feeling the air in the night wind. A melody was heard in the distance. Suddenly, Yinyin began to move to the melody, and a graceful dance was presented to Guisha without any warning...
Watching Yin Yin's dance in front of him, it seemed as if she was dancing only for him. If Gui Sha was not wearing a mask, Yin Yin would be able to see how gentle Gui Sha's expression was at this moment. Whenever he saw Yin Yin's dance, Gui Sha would be completely immersed in it. Compared with that graceful dance and the show on the lake, there was a world of difference between it and the show. Before he knew it, Gui Sha had been intoxicated by Yin Yin's dance.
With every change of movement, Yinyin could always clearly feel the joy it brought her. Yes, it was joy, a feeling she hadn't had for a long time. When she closed her eyes while dancing, Yinyin seemed to see another figure dancing in front of her. That figure made Yinyin feel very familiar, so familiar that a warm current went deep into Yinyin's heart. So Yinyin didn't know how happy her expression was when she felt all this. Seeing this, Guisha at the side just subconsciously clenched the teacup in his hand...
It seemed like a long time had passed. Some tiny beads of sweat oozed out of Yinyin 's forehead, but she still didn't seem to feel tired, and her eyes were still open. Guisha suddenly thought about why Yinyin could maintain such a graceful dance posture when her eyes were closed? Soon, Guisha had the answer. There was only one answer from beginning to end. It was better to say that Yinyin was "dancing" with another person than to say that she was dancing alone. That was why Yinyin could still maintain balance when her eyes were closed. Of course, she could not deny her innate feeling.
Until the music in the distance stopped, Yinyin's dance also gradually stopped as if in response, but when Yinyin stopped, it was not as stable as expected, and she didn't want to lose her balance and fall to the ground. Seeing Yinyin gradually falling down as soon as she stopped, the ghost immediately stepped forward...
"What's wrong?"
The ghost rushed to Yinyin's side and held her body with his hands. Yinyin did not lose her balance. When she fell to the ground, she had stabilized her balance. Her expression was more peaceful than ever before, which made the ghost stunned for a moment...
"I...seem to have found something that belongs to me."
Looking at the gentle smile on Yin Yin's face at this moment, Guisha couldn't say a word.
"I believe that is me, and he is my other half."
Yinyin's eyes were filled with tenderness, which made Guisha feel a little dazzling, and he seemed to be sucked into it. He was dazed and had no feeling for Yinyin's words, and he forgot to think about what Yinyin's words meant. He only knew that Yinyin in front of him seemed to be refreshed, as if she had been reborn and found her own self...
