The hall was empty and quiet. The howling of the snowstorm outside the window was endless.
"Can you dance?" The girl in the hall suddenly turned her head and asked.
"No, I'm not. I won't." The little boy who was asked by the girl seemed a little timid, as if he had been asked similar questions countless times, but his answer was always the same.
"You're not very normal." The girl standing in the middle of the hall had a matter-of-fact expression."You're Asian. I see that the Asian girls here have very short legs. Of course, people with short legs can't dance.”
" You're Asian too…"
The boy wanted to argue, but because his voice was too weak, the girl ignored him."Then do you want to learn how to dance?"
The boy was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously."Yes."
"I can teach you." The girl said," I'm from the Soviet Union. All the girls in the Soviet Union know how to dance ballet. It's hereditary. We start to rise, fall, rise, and fall from the womb.”
"Why are you teaching me? Why not…Someone else?" the boy asked.
"Because I like stupid people." The girl said matter-of-factly," It's not difficult to teach smart people. I won't have a sense of accomplishment. But if I can teach you, it proves that I'm smarter than smart people."”
"Yes... Yes." The boy didn't know what to say and could only nod. He watched the girl rise and fall in the empty hall by herself. The lines of her arms and legs were as beautiful as oil paintings. He couldn't help but say softly,"Can I not learn Ballet?"
The girl stopped dancing and let her blonde hair fall behind her back. She turned to look at him and asked,"Why? I know you're stupid, but I have the confidence to teach you.”
Ballet is a dance for girls." The boy hugged his legs and whispered.
"Oh, you're worried about that." The girl said as she walked forward. Ballet suits you very well."
"Are you trying to say that I look like a girl?"
"No, I said that the ballets are very suitable for you because her meaning is very similar to yours.”
"Meaning?"
The girl stood in the middle of the empty hall, turned around, and looked down at the timid boy in the corner. She said softly,""Ballet is a dance that imitates the swan. Every dancer who rises and falls is a swan. Some swans are silent for life, but before they die, they will sing a song. I think the swan, who has never been singing loudly, will definitely sing a song that is especially sad and beautiful before they die.”
"Are you saying that I will die?"
"Everyone will die. It's just a matter of time.”
Half of the boy's face was hidden in his arms as he looked at the girl in the middle of the hall. The color of her eyes that looked down on him reflected the golden splendor of the hall.

The vibration of the plane woke Lin Nian up. When he opened his eyes, he saw long hair that was as gorgeous as gold. For a moment, he couldn't distinguish between dream and reality. He couldn't help but reach out to touch the smooth blonde hair. Suddenly, someone beside him patted the back of his hand and brought him back to reality.
"If you want to play with your hair, dye it yourself." Lin Xian looked at Lin Nian, who was sleeping soundly, and said,""Can't you see how big his boyfriend is?”
Lin Nian looked up in a daze. He was sitting on the United Airlines flight. Not far away from him was a blonde American girl. The blonde hair he saw when he woke up was that girl's. Beside the girl was a big man who looked like a bodybuilding coach. He was wearing sports headphones and nodding to the rhythm.
A warning tone sounded in the cabin. The sweet voice of the flight attendant told everyone that the plane had encountered some controllable airflow. It was normal to have a vibration phenomenon, so there was no need to panic.
Lin Nian remembered that he and Lin Xian were on a flight to the International Airport in Chicago. The journey was nearly 13 hours long. Kassel College had booked first-class tickets for them. He couldn't stand the boredom of waiting and fell asleep temporarily.
"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't put the seat flat for fear of waking you up. Did you have a nightmare?”Lin Xian asked.
"No, it shouldn't be a nightmare." Lin Nian bent down and lowered his head to massage his temples. The memories in his dream disappeared like melting snow. He tried to remember, but it was like holding fine sand in his hand. The memories could not help but disappear with the wind through his fingers. When he opened his hand, there was nothing left.
"It's fine if you can't remember. Some people really can't remember what they dreamed of.”Lin Xian said.
Lin Nian turned his head to look at Lin Xian. It seemed that Lin Xian had tied his hair up behind his back so that it would not get caught in his hair when he was online. His black ponytail was smooth and soft.
Lin Xian noticed Lin Nian's gaze and raised his eyebrows.""If you want to touch me, just say it. The girl in front of me might not agree, but you're still allowed to touch my hair.”
"No, forget it." "I don't have that fetish." Lin Nian shook his head.”
"That's true." "Don't I know what your fetishes are?" Lin Xian said.”
Lin Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. He sighed but didn't say anything.
"You woke up just in time. We'll be there in an hour.”Lin Xian looked at the digital watch on his wrist and said,""I changed the time to the time in Philadelphia. It should be two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrive at the airport. Seeing that you didn't sleep well, I don't think you need to get over the jet lag.”
"It's the most troublesome after we arrive. We still have to find a train.”Lin Nian yawned." I heard from Senior Sister Mandy that I shouldn't look for the CC1000 express train at the Chicago train station because I can't find it on the timetable. It's useless even if I look for the station attendant."”
"Then where should we look?" Lin Xian frowned.
"Senior Sister Mandy said that she would ask one of her seniors to pick us up.”" I think his name is Fingal van Frings," Lin Nian recalled." Sixth grade."”
"Sixth grade? Does Kassel Academy have a high school department?" Lin Xian said in surprise.
"No, he's actually in the fourth grade, but he was held back for two years. He's a legend in school.”Lin Nian hesitated for a moment before saying," Senior Maddie said that the only person who has the time to pick us up from Chicago is him. After all, he's a fourth-grader who doesn't have many classes and is idling around in school every day. I heard that he owes the school a lot of money. Senior Maddie gave him some benefits and covered the travel and food expenses, so he was willing to come and pick us up.”
"It sounds very unreliable." Lin Xian's face revealed a vigilant expression.
"I think so too, but Senior Sister Mandy said that this senior is Professor Manstein's best friend's student. He can be trusted. At least he won't kidnap us to dig coal in the black kiln.”Lin Nian said.
"Fingal Vong, Frings." Lin Xian repeated the name,""His name sounds like a German? Won't there be a language barrier?"
"Kassel Academy has implemented a Chinese school. After six years of studying, you should be able to speak Chinese fluently, right?”Lin Nian hesitated.
"Did your senior sister say anything else?”Lin Xian asked.
"Yes." Lin Nian nodded." She said that if Senior Fingel sincerely invites me to join the news department and instigates me to pay the entrance fee in advance, I don't have to be polite. She told me to directly slap him in the face and she would be responsible for the aftermath."”
"Yes." Lin Xian nodded thoughtfully. It seemed like he had a better understanding of Senior Fingel.
