Chapter 964 - If It Was For Friendship, Then It Was Worth It.
The little girl looked at her mother and was perplexed. Just by her blank eyes and slightest frown of brows, Li Xue knew that her princess was not too informed about the topic. Deepening her smile at her, she gently pinched her cheeks to confirm. "So, does my little devilic-angel not know that there are many forms of dance?"
Little Li Wei pouted and shook her head, "No, Mama. WeiWei just wants to learn dance. She doesn't know about forms. Are there many forms?"
Li Xue's expression turned a little serious as pressing her lips together, she nodded. "Yes, there are many. That's why I am asking you, which form are you going to learn?"
Blinking her eyes in doubt for a moment, the little girl stared at her mother. "Mama, I want to learn the dance that the senior girls were practicing at school. But I don't know the form name." She said and that was all Li Xue wanted to know,
So, the topic started with the senior school girls. No doubt her princess was looking a bit agitated and disturbed. She could now guess the possibilities that could have happened.
Feng Shufen could also guess things the same as Li Xue. Though it was hard to interpret things before, with Li Xue at the lead, he could now understand everything clearly. He has learned many things about parenting but still, there are things that he would need to learn. And apart from the woman in front of him, he knew no one could be a better teacher.
Li Xue's gaze darted to look at the man with some meaning before again turning to nod at her daughter. "No problem, you can always go and ask them. Let me know tomorrow and we will find you a good teacher to learn from. Will that be okay?" She asked, throwing her straw to measure the depths.
The little girl didn't show much expression on her face. But getting off the lap of her mother, she looked down to ask quietly. "But Mama I can't ask them. Can I not learn all forms of dance? WeiWei promises that she will learn everything."
"I don't doubt that sweetheart. You are diligent in your work and you'll surely learn everything. But Mama would be able to help you only when she knows everything. And you know only you can let me know the things. If you don' share it, how would I understand that why in the first place you want to learn to dance?"
Li Xue asked. She knew that now there would be a way through which may be her little devil gets to change her mind. Though she knew her daughter was stubborn, being her mother, Li Xue also had all ways to make her give in. And she knew that soon, she would be able to hear what was keeping her daughter worried like that.
Little Li Wei thought for some time. Then turned to look at her Daddy Angel with some thought before reverting back to look at her mother. "Mama, will you be unhappy if WeiWei says that she wants to be better than some other girls at school?"
The mother's brows got raised. Understanding everything in an instant. "What do you think? Should I not?"
WeiWei shook her head, accepting her wrong. "You should, Mama. As I know I am wrong. WeiWei remembers Mama teaching that we should try to be better than ourselves, not others. If we compare with others, we would never be satisfied. But Mama …"
"But what, sweetheart? Since you remember what I taught you then why are you forgetting to use it? Do you feel what I taught is wrong?" Always being mindful around her daughter, Li Xue has kept her intention all-clear while bringing her daughter up. She has just wanted her to be happy in life. So she has taught her the mantras to keep her morally happy and satisfied.
She would never want to see her daughter having the same life as her, where for half of her age she has done all her best to impress others but end up hurting exhausting herself. She wants her to live, making her own goals and dreams. Not for doing all sorts of things to get recognition from people around.
Li Xue stared at her princess. She knew her princess has got her genes as well which will be hereditarily bound to bring her instincts and habits in her. But never in her thoughts, she would accept her becoming like her mother. Because neither her daughter would ever be another Li Xue, nor she could herself think of becoming another Liu Hua.
"No Mama, you taught me right. WeiWei knows it but for once she still wants to do it. Can I do it? Only for once?" Still being adamant, Little Li Wei asked and Li Xue knew something else was there.
So, looking at her, Li Xue reached out to hold her by her shoulders. Pulling her to herself gently, she asked. "Will you not share the whole story with me?"
"Mama, that I want to help my friends to have a strong stand in front of the seniors. They belittled us saying that we could never learn dance like them since we are small. Though I told them that learning has no relation with ages and we can also do better, they didn't believe it. They even made Xiao Fei cry hard. So, I want to learn and show them. Can I not learn it?"
Feeling the ache in her little stomach, Little Li Wei didn't hide the story for longer. Though the things seemed all easy and child play at front, from the children's point of view that was something serious, and looking at the determination in the eyes of her daughter, Li Xue also knew how important it was for her.
Definitely, she was her daughter. Back in time, things like this would also affect her and now, it was the same with her little devil as well. Being once in the same course of life, Li Xue has once experienced the dedication she shared in friendship. Then how come now she could hold back her daughter from it?
If it's for friendship, then it was worth it.
So, nodding, she agreed. "Fine, you can learn it. Tomorrow I will call your teacher to ask about the dance form and then you can learn it.." She said and the little one was at once got enthusiastic about it.
