Chapter 254: Alright, Senior Student Ziyi, I Do
“Forget it,” Lu Ziyi said indifferently, “Nangong Yanting doesn’t want to come, so why force her? It would be more awkward for two people who are at odds to pretend to have a good relationship on stage while dancing.”
“Then what should we do?” Ye Chuxiao was in a mess. “Teacher Liu and Brother Chusheng made such a good suggestion, should we just give it up?”
Lu Ziyi frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, “Why doesn’t Xiaoxiao be my backup dancer? We’ve also practiced our cooperation for a long time!”
Ye Chuxiao was stunned! A long time? It wasn’t that long, was it? Just one evening and one morning, a total of six hours!
Two people who can’t dance, practicing for six hours before performing on stage?
Ye Chuxiao’s little heart was so scared!
“Zi Zi Zi… Senior Student Ziyi!” Ye Chuxiao stammered, “It’s not okay for us to just go up and dance like this, right? Neither of us is professional, and we’ve only practiced for six hours!”
Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Chuxiao with eyes as gentle as water, but Xiaoxiao, my love for you, I don’t even know how many six-hour periods it has been, not needing any practice for a second!
Lu Ziyi pretended to be in a difficult situation: “Teacher Liu and Chusheng gave me a suggestion, and I originally agreed, but it doesn’t seem right to just discard it now. Perhaps Nangong Yanting had an urgent matter and couldn’t make it, but she did help me choreograph the dance, so she contributed. Everyone has done so much for me, and in the end, I go back to just singing under a spotlight. Isn’t that… not good?”
Ye Chuxiao also felt it wasn’t good. Moreover, Teacher Liu was a judge, and she enthusiastically arranged for her disciples to help Senior Student Ziyi. If Senior Student Ziyi said he accepted and then didn’t, it would be a bad impression of disappointing Teacher Liu’s good intentions!
Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Chuxiao’s hesitant expression and sighed again, saying, “I think whether I dance well or not is a matter of skill level. I’m not a professional, and I practiced for a very short time, so it’s understandable if I don’t dance well. But if I don’t dance, it becomes a matter of attitude. It feels like not dancing would make me a bad person!”
It was indeed as Senior Student Ziyi said!
Ye Chuxiao gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and agreed: “Okay, Senior Student Ziyi, I’ll be your backup dancer and cooperate with you!”
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao, you’ve worked hard!” Lu Ziyi’s eyes shone exceptionally brightly.
Xiaoxiao, I was just waiting for you to say yes!
“But…” Ye Chuxiao was extremely troubled, “I remember Senior Nangong’s choreography, but I’m not a professional dancer, and there are some dance moves I really can’t do!”
“Then Xiaoxiao can just dance what she can do.”
“What about the parts I can’t do? Will I just stand there foolishly?”
“How about this…” Lu Ziyi pondered for a moment and had an idea, “Xiaoxiao, appear on stage by playing the piano. During the interlude, I’ll take your hand and lead you to stand up. We’ll start dancing from the middle, then your part as backup dancer, and finally, we’ll dance another section, ending with the pose choreographed by Nangong Yanting.”
“Ah?” Ye Chuxiao seriously considered Lu Ziyi’s suggestion. If it were like that, she would play the piano for half the song and dance for half the song. The difficult dance moves could be skipped, and she would only dance the parts she could manage, which would make it much easier!
“Okay,” Ye Chuxiao agreed, “I’ll choreograph it now according to Senior Nangong’s dance and my own ability level.”
“Xiaoxiao, you’ve worked hard!” Lu Ziyi was very grateful and happy. Regardless of whether his and Xiaoxiao’s performance would be recognized by everyone, what he cared about was that this was a performance belonging to him and Xiaoxiao!
