She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 853: Chapter 894: Anyone Can Be a Phoenix

Regarding the matter of being a substitute, Sheng Ning had thought about it long ago. Every formal dance troupe or art group has similar regulations. It’s not just about the inconvenience for the lead dancer; many performances are back-to-back, and no one’s physical state can stay at a high level for three consecutive performances.

She had no right to refuse this proposal, and she wouldn’t be so domineering as to refuse it. During the six-month break, newcomers would inevitably take her place. As for whether they can replace her, that would depend on each person’s skills.

She believed in her own abilities.

”Alright, I understand, I have no issues.”

”That’s good. By the way, remember to practice at home as well.” Wenyin knew her old friend was upset, so she reminded her. She wasn’t as persistent as Qiu Bai. In her eyes, Sheng Ning had great talent, and her performance at Hope Field was exceptional, far exceeding her expectations. With her skills and talent, even taking a six-month break from dancing wouldn’t make much difference.

”I will, I definitely will.”

Qiu Bai, seeing how obedient and sensible her student was, didn’t oppose her decision and patted Sheng Ning’s shoulder, saying earnestly, ”You must work hard, don’t waste your talent. I’m currently in touch with my teacher, and I hope that one day you, too, can stand on the world stage like a Phoenix.”

Sheng Ning was shaken by these words, as if a bolt of lightning struck her mind, leaving her in a daze. She knew that Liu Yilan would stand on the world stage. When writing Phoenix, she was passionate and wished she could become the protagonist in the play.

She actually envied Liu Yilan very much, in a subtle way she couldn’t even recognize. Thinking about it now, the reason she felt no sympathy when Liu Yilan’s face was ruined was because of this, right?

She knew Liu Yilan would come through and mesmerize the entire world. Who could dare to pity such a person?

She didn’t need anyone’s pity at all.

”You definitely can, believe me.” In Qiu Bai’s eyes flashed a dazzling brilliance, as if the whole person were burning. ”I believe Yilan is a Phoenix, and you are a Phoenix too. If she can do it, you can do even better.”

What a high evaluation, what a wonderful compliment! Sheng Ning felt almost intoxicated by it. She hadn’t thought before that she could also do it. One of her rebirth wishes was to become the most proud rose of the troupe.

How can one be the most proud?

By standing on the world stage and making the entire world succumb to Eastern dance, that is true pride.

”Teacher, I will, I definitely will.” She clenched her fists and vowed solemnly. Little did she know that at this moment, a tiny seed would one day grow into a towering tree.

When she rises to fame on Broadway and stands on the stage of Lincoln Center in New York, what will she think when she recalls this moment? The loneliness in a foreign land, which weighs more, love or career?

Sheng Ning’s choices have always been clear, but destiny didn’t give her the opportunity to choose.

After leaving the office, Sheng Ning went to the communication room to make a phone call. The old man there, seeing her again, excitedly grabbed her hand and wouldn’t let go for a long time.

Thus, she heard the legendary rescue story for the third time.

It wasn’t easy for her to finish listening, and she was finally free to make the call.

”Hello, who are you looking for?”

Sheng Ning held her forehead, realizing it was the mischievous kid from last time.

”I’m Little Yama’s wife, have your dad answer the phone.”
