It's not too late to meet in the book

Sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains of the theater, shimmering onto the stage, gilding this artistic sanctuary with a golden glow. Lei Xiaoyue, wearing her favorite pink tutu, sat in the ballet class, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Today, they would watch a performance of "Swan Lake" by a renowned ballet company. For Lei Xiaoyue, this was undoubtedly a precious learning opportunity.

"Xiaoyue, do you want to sit inside or outside?" The ballet teacher's gentle voice sounded in my ears. She was holding a stack of programs in her hand and smiling.

"Let's go outside, teacher. I want to see every movement on the stage more clearly." Lei Xiaoyue replied, her eyes revealing her desire for dance.

As the lights dimmed, the theater fell silent, broken only by the occasional whisper and the gentle rustle of seats shifting. Lei Xiaoyue clutched the program tightly in her hand, her heartbeat accelerating as the stage lights came on.

The curtain slowly opened, melodious music began, and a group of dancers in pristine white gauze skirts gracefully leaped onto the stage, like a group of real swans dancing on a lake. Lei Xiaoyue followed closely, each spin and leap taking her breath away, her heart surging with indescribable excitement.

"Look, that's the protagonist Odette. Her movements are so graceful and her emotions are so invested." The ballet teacher explained softly, her tone full of love for dance.

Lei Xiaoyue nodded and vowed to herself: "I want to be like her and use dance to tell stories and convey emotions." She closed her eyes, let the music flow in her ears, and imagined herself dancing to the melody on that wide stage.

After the performance, Lei Xiaoyue couldn't calm down for a long time. She held her ballet teacher's hand, tears in her eyes: "Teacher, I have never felt such a strong shock. I think I have found the true meaning of dance."

"Xiaoyue, your insights today are exactly the artistic soul we pursue." The teacher smiled with satisfaction. "Remember, dance is not just about movement; it's also about expressing emotions. What you saw and felt today will become a valuable asset on your future dance journey."

Meanwhile, Lin Yuxuan and his fellow horseback riding students were enjoying a chance to connect with nature on a vast meadow. Sunlight streamed down the lush green grass, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the grass. Astride a tall brown horse, Lin Yuxuan felt as if he were one with the world.

"Yuxuan, are you ready? We are about to start." The voice of the horse riding instructor came from the front. He was riding a white horse and looked particularly heroic.

"Ready, coach!" Lin Yuxuan responded excitedly, gripping the reins tightly with both hands and leaning forward slightly, ready for the upcoming ride.

With a resounding whistle, the cavalry slowly set off. Lin Yuxuan rode along the winding path, the trees on either side rapidly receding, as if time had been stretched to a crawl. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, his heart filled with freedom and joy.

"Yuxuan, pay attention to maintaining your balance and feel the rhythm of the horse." The coach instructed from the side, his tone revealing his expectations for Lin Yuxuan.

Following his coach's instructions, Lin Yuxuan gradually relaxed his body and established a tacit understanding with the horse. He began to notice the surrounding scenery: the mountains in the distance were clearly outlined, and the wildflowers nearby swayed in the wind. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

"Coach, I feel like I have become a part of nature." Lin Yuxuan couldn't help but say, his tone full of surprise.

"That's right, Yuxuan. That's the charm of horseback riding," the coach replied with a smile. "Not only does it allow you to experience speed and passion, but it also allows you to feel a harmonious coexistence with nature. Remember, every ride is a journey of the soul."

After the ride, Lin Yuxuan reluctantly dismounted. He stroked the horse's mane, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you for showing me such a beautiful scenery," he whispered, as if speaking to the horse.

"Yuxuan, how did you feel about riding today?" The coach came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's great, Coach!" Lin Yuxuan said excitedly, "I've never felt nature so closely, nor have I experienced the joy of horseback riding so deeply. I think I'll love this sport even more."

The coach nodded with satisfaction: "Yuxuan, I see your progress. Remember, no matter what you do, you must feel and experience it with your heart. Only then can you discover the beauty and meaning of it."

As the sun sets, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan meet on their way home. They excitedly share their experiences, their faces filled with happiness.

"Xiao Yue, do you know? Today's riding made me feel unprecedented freedom." Lin Yuxuan said excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yuxuan, me too!" Lei Xiaoyue responded with a smile, "The performance of Swan Lake made me deeply appreciate the charm of dance. I felt like I had become a swan on the stage."

"We are so lucky to have the opportunity to experience so many wonderful things," Lin Yuxuan said with emotion.

"Yes," Lei Xiaoyue nodded in agreement. "I think life is like a wonderful journey. As long as we feel and experience it with our heart, we can discover the beauty and meaning in it."

"Yuxuan, let's go horseback riding together next time! I also want to try the feeling of flying." Lei Xiaoyue suggested.

"Okay, Xiaoyue! I also want to see you wearing riding clothes." Lin Yuxuan agreed with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
