Chapter 246: Can We Not Waste Each Other’s Time?
Everyone chatted about Lu Ziyi’s dancing in a seemingly friendly manner, but Lu Ziyi and Lin Chusheng were locked in a fierce, unspoken battle of glances and thoughts.
—
Ye Chuxiao knew that Lu Ziyi and Nangong Yanting were going to practice dancing in the University Student Activity Center’s dance practice room on Friday night.
After school in the afternoon, Ye Chuxiao couldn’t stop thinking about Lu Ziyi. She couldn’t imagine how the aloof school hunk would dance a tender, flowing dance.
At eight-thirty in the evening, worried about disturbing Lu Ziyi’s practice, Ye Chuxiao didn’t call but sent him a message asking how he was doing.
Lu Ziyi quickly replied: “I got scolded badly. I really angered Miss Nangong. She’s currently five meters away from me, trying to calm down. I feel like she wants to kill me!”
Ye Chuxiao didn’t know what kind of girl Nangong Yanting was, but she didn’t think Senior Student Ziyi would be so foolish as to make Nangong Yanting scold him to that extent.
Ye Chuxiao sent another message: “Can I come over and watch?”
Lu Ziyi replied instantly: “Xiaoxiao, hurry over and help me remember the moves and give me some pointers. For these few moves, I can’t even sing the song.”
Ye Chuxiao: “Okay! I’ll be right there.”
As Ye Chuxiao was about to leave, Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi chased after her, asking, “Xiaoxiao, are you going to watch Senior Student Ziyi dance? We want to go too.”
It was already chaotic over at Senior Student Ziyi’s side. If more people went, it would be even harder to practice.
Ye Chuxiao made an excuse: “No, I’m going for a… night run.”
Bai Qianqian chuckled: “I think you’re running to Senior Student Ziyi’s place, aren’t you?”
Ye Chuxiao didn’t reply, shouldering her backpack and quickly disappearing.
Ye Chuxiao arrived at the University Student Activity Center and walked to the door of the brightly lit practice room. She smiled and said inside, “Excuse me, sorry to disturb you.”
Nangong Yanting still seemed to be calming down. She cast a cold glance at Ye Chuxiao before looking away.
Lu Ziyi was standing opposite Nangong Yanting, being lectured by her.
Ye Chuxiao walked to the long bench by the wall and sat down, quietly watching Nangong Yanting teach Lu Ziyi to dance.
“I’ll say it again!” Nangong Yanting said, suppressing her anger. “The interaction part between us is very simple. When the music starts, you look at me with a deep gaze tinged with distress, showing that you secretly love me!”
Lu Ziyi forced a smile: “I’ll try my best!”
For some reason, Nangong Yanting was filled with anger when she looked at his perfectly handsome face.
Her expression was tense, as if being secretly loved by this man was an insult to her!
“Then!” Nangong Yanting continued to lecture. “During the transition part, we’ll dance a section together.
“The crucial part is when I leave your side. Your action of pulling me should be graceful and gentle. When I return to your side, your action of embracing me should be firm.
“Don’t always be so stiff, as if you’re throwing me around! You need to have a sense of rhythm and express the innocent and conflicted emotions between us!”
“Okay!” Lu Ziyi obediently agreed. “I’ll be gentler.”
Nangong Yanting’s face was stern. She didn’t believe Lu Ziyi could do as she asked.
Nangong Yanting said again: “At the end, we’ll do a few more moves. For the final pose, we’ll stand back to back. You’ll tilt your head up slightly, with a slight smile on your face, okay?”
“Okay!” Lu Ziyi obediently agreed again.
Nangong Yanting complained: “I’ve already made your moves as simple as possible, otherwise it’ll be unbearable to watch! If you can get it right in three to five tries, let’s not waste each other’s time, okay?”
