Feng Yu listened to the General's speech. He was mainly talking about how powerful the Soviet Union was and encouraging the young officers to contribute to the Soviet Union. The future belongs to the Soviet Union. These young officers were impressed by this, and the hall was filled with applause.
Feng Yu could only sit and watch the first performance. Group dance was a popular dance in the Soviet Union's army. The movements were not complicated, but these people danced in unison. No wonder they were all soldiers. Feng Yu speculated that these people must have been rehearsing for many days. If the officers were practicing dance every day, how could the army be strong?
The second performance was a couple dance. Brother Ke and the rest went up to dance with their partners, and Elena stretched out her hand to Feng Yu. It was obvious what she wanted.
Fine. Feng Yu could only stand up and hold Elena's hand as they walked to the dance floor.
Eh? Why does this movement look like the standard dance? Feng Yu was relieved. He still knows how to play the game.
"Mr Feng, you said you don't know how to dance. But you are dancing well." What was different from the standard dance was that this dance did not require one to turn their neck to either side, and the two people could look at each other normally.
"I only know how to dance this. I don't know any other moves. Look over there. The others are dancing well."
On the other side, an officer and his partner performed a few splendid moves and won the applause of the audience. Both of them cooperated well. The man was tall and muscular, and the woman was petite. They even performed a toss and catch move. Feng Yu was envious of them.
Elena smiled and said softly. "Mr Feng, please cooperate with me."
What? Before Feng Yu could understand, Elena suddenly let go of Feng Yu's shoulder and took a step back. At the same time, she spread out her arms.
Feng Yu quickly cooperated and did the same thing. Following that, Elena spun around gracefully and placed her hand on Feng Yu's shoulder once again.
This was not the end. Elena moved back again and separated her hands from Feng Yu's. Suddenly, she spread out her arms and started to spin around Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was stunned. After a while, he raised his hands and clapped. His eyes followed Elena's movements.
Elena's dance was too stunning, and the people around her moved aside to make space for her. Some people even stopped dancing and applauded. They had stolen the limelight.
While Elena was spinning, she was still able to place one hand on Feng Yu's shoulder. Her other hand touched Feng Yu's hand.
This action won the applause of the crowd. The dance was for the both of them, and the cheers from the crowd were for the both of them. Feng Yu had the illusion that he was also a master dancer!
After the song ended, the two held hands and slowly walked back to their seats with the crowd. People around them applauded for them.
"Feng, what do you think? This dance partner is not bad, right?" Kirilenko asked proudly.
"Thank you, Brother Ki. I am very happy tonight."
"As long as you are happy. Call me when you want to leave later." Kirilenko hinted. After that, Kirilenko left with his glass of wine to chat with someone else.
Feng Yu paused for a while. What was Kirilenko trying to do? They had only danced once, and if they leave now, it would be disrespectful. Am I that kind of person?
"Elena, your dance is amazing. Are you a professional?" Feng Yu asked.
Elena smiled and nodded: "I am from the Ukraine Dance Troupe. I started dancing when I was 5 years old. I had been learning for more than 8 years."
She was indeed a professional. No wonder she could dance so well. Wait, Elena was not even 14 years old?
Feng Yu knew that girls in the Soviet Union matured early, but this was too early. Elena was 1.7 meters tall, and she had grown to 1.7 meters at the age of 13? That means Brother Ke's fiancée might also be younger than 18 years old?
Tsk tsk ~ ~ ~ The Soviet Union is a paradise for weirdos!
"No wonder you can dance so well. Where are your parents from?"
"My father is from Kiev. He was an honorable soldier, but he has passed away. My mother is from St. Petersburg. She used to be a dancer and has been a dance teacher in St. Petersburg for the past few years. "
Wow, dance talent is passed down in the family. Judging from Elena's position, her father should not have been a high-ranking official before he passed away. At most, he should have been a low-level officer or even an ordinary soldier. Otherwise, Elena would not have been arranged by the regiment commander to accompany Feng Yu.
"What do you want to do in the future?" Feng Yu asked.
"I want to be the best dancer in the Soviet Union. I want to go to the Kremlin and perform for the Soviet Union's Supreme Leader, President Mikhail Gorbachev."
Fine. Another blind admirer. Feng Yu dare to ask Elena to tell him why Mikhail Gorbachev is so good and why he is worthy of admiration.
Actually, Feng Yu despised Mikhail Gorbachev. He was the ruler of the world's biggest region and had the world's top military power. He also had the support of many people. But in the end, he was disgraced. This shows how much of a failure Mikhail Gorbachev was.
In history, if it were not for the opposition, Mikhail Gorbachev would not be under house arrest. He might even be killed by the people who started the coup! In the end, if it were not for Yeltsin, the Soviet Union might still be in a mess. But the outcome would be worse than the Soviet Union disintegrating. At least, Feng Yu felt that Yeltsin was better than Mikhail Gorbachev in politics!
Feng Yu looked at Elena. Maybe Elena's dream was the dream of all the dancers in the Soviet Union. Actually, Feng Yu felt that Elena's dancing skills were good enough to perform in the Kremlin. She only lacked an opportunity. For example, if Elena was transferred to the Russian Dance Troupe, her chances would increase.
But Feng Yu could not help Elena with this. Or rather, he did not want to help. He would not ask Kirilenko to transfer Elena to the Russian Dance Troupe for a girl who had only danced once.
"Elena, other than dancing, what other dreams do you have?"
"Other dreams? Does world peace and the prosperity of the motherland count? "
Feng Yu: "… …"
This dream was too good. A girl who only had dancing in her life and had never thought of anything else.
"One day, when you can't dance anymore, have you ever thought of doing something else?" Feng Yu continued to guide Elena.
"If I can't dance anymore, I can be a dance teacher. My mother is like this."
Feng Yu was defeated. He was defeated by this naive girl who had dedicated her life to dancing.
Kirilenko had returned and saw Feng Yu chatting happily with that girl from the Russian Dance Troupe. He smiled. Seems like he had found the right person. Feng Yu really did not like that stewardess because she was too old. Feng Yu could not take his eyes off this 13 years old girl.
"Feng, come. Let me introduce some friends to you." Brother Ke walked over with a few men and pulled Feng Yu over. He introduced some of Ukraine's second-generation soldiers to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu did not remember any of their names. He suddenly remembered what Kirilenko had told him and wanted to leave. Kirilenko had told him that if there was no one to chat with, it would be boring at the ball.
"Brother Ke, I am tired. I want to go back and rest."
Kirilenko immediately walks over: "You all carry on. I will send him back." Kirilenko felt that Feng Yu must be impatient.
Together, the two of them left the ball with their respective dance partners.
