Chapter 310: Why Is Their Romance So Sweet?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei didn’t dare to speak again. Jiang Jingchen kissed her on the cheek and patted her head to comfort her.
“It’s because I’m too charming that you’re enchanted. You just want to be with me and spend more time with me. Others who want to ride along can only play supporting roles.”
“…” Ruan Qi, who was playing supporting role, rolled her eyes.
She didn’t see Tang Beibei when she came out of the toilet. She asked the others and found out that Tang Beibei had left anxiously with her husband.
That woman had completely abandoned her best friend for her husband!
Ruan Qi did not want to see their lovey-dovey anymore, so she turned on her phone and checked their account.
Their account received direct messages every day, and she would occasionally reply to them.
Today, many fans asked them why there was still no news from them since they were taking part in “Dancing Youth”. Was it because they didn’t make it through the auditions?
Ruan Qi replied to a few of those messages but realized that many were asking them the same question. She gave up.
She then checked the comments section. Many netizens posted comments about whether they had failed their auditions for “Dancing Youth”. If they couldn’t even make it in such a minor competition, their dancing must be horrible in real life and everything in their videos were edited.
“They think that they’re pretty, so they came out to show off to the world. There are many people who are prettier than them, so they’re nothing.” “I even checked out the “Dancing Youth” show and website, but there was no news about them at all. Sigh, how disappointing.”
After reading a whole bunch of negative comments, Ruan Qi took a deep breath and felt a lot of pressure.
When they arrived at the competition venue, there were obviously fewer people today. They took their numbers and joined the queue.
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi signed up separately for this competition, and their numbers were next to each other.
Jiang Jingchen took his wife’s bag and patted her shoulder. “Are you nervous?” “A little.” Tang Beibei gestured with her pinkie. Jiang Jingchen chuckled and hooked her pinkie.
“What do you want to do after the audition?”
“Have dinner back home and then read.” Tang Beibei replied honestly.
“Your mind is only filled with books and food. Have you never thought of spending time with me?”
Tang Beibei looked at him blankly for a few seconds. She had been training hard recently and indeed hadn’t spent much time with him.
“After the audition, I’ll go shopping and eating with you?”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled again. “Never mind. It’s better that you don’t plan our dates. In your little brain, reading and dancing are the most important things.” “No, you’re very important too.”
Tang Beibei explained anxiously, “It’s true. You’re very important, very important. People need to breathe when they’re alive. Breathing requires bronchi. You’re my bronchi. It’s hard to breathe without you.”
It was rare for Jiang Jingchen to hear her sweet talk. He tucked her long hair behind her ear and kissed the tip of her ear.
“Okay, Obedient Beibei. Are you still nervous?”
Tang Beibei shook her head with a smile and exhaled deeply.
She admitted that she was a rather boring person. She was grateful and very touched that her husband accepted her.
“You’ve smoothened my breathing and slowed my blood flow. I’m looking forward to how you’ll plan our date.”
Jiang Jingchen put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, “Movie or arcade? Which one would you choose?”
“Arcade? But I don’t know how to play.”
“I’ll teach you.”
“Alright!”
Ruan Qi had her hands on her hips as she watched the two of them chatting intimately. She was also in a romantic relationship but why was their romance so sweet?
Could it be because they were married?
She thought about Song Zhou, who was still in recuperation. She took a deep breath again to forget about the lovey-dovey she had just watched and continued to play with her phone.
The staff called Number 45, who was Tang Beibei.
When she was walking into the audition room, she took off her down jacket and revealed the modern qipao she was wearing underneath it.
She walked before the judges and introduced herself.
The choreographer judge, Xu Feng, saw that she was very beautiful and photogenic. He asked her with a smile, “Why did you sign up for this competition?”
“For the prize money.” The girl answered honestly without any hesitation.
The other two judges also had strange expressions on their faces.
When they asked this question before, most contestants would answer that it was because they liked or loved dance. This girl’s answer was really…
Authentic.
The dance teacher judge, Mu Zhi, asked, “How many years have you been learning dance? What kind of dance did you learn?”
Tang Beibei counted on her fingers. “I practiced for a few years when I was young. I’ve only been studying formally for less than half a year since I picked it up again. I’ve learned a little bit of everything. Classical dance, jazz, hip-hop, modern, and ballet.”
Mu Zhi frowned. “You’ve only studied formally for half a year and learning a mishmash of things. You want to win the championship? That’s not being ambitious, but having wishful thinking.”
Freelance dancer judge, Cheng Jian, smiled and attempted to ease the atmosphere. “It’s good for young people to be ambitious. However, Number 45, you must convince us with your skills in this competition and not empty talk.” Tang Beibei nodded. “Yes, I’ll do my best.”
The three coaches looked at her with complicated expressions. They had no expectations and were just waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
Tang Beibei turned on the music and started dancing.
Her music was “The Girl by the Bridge”, which she had edited herself. A beautiful woman in a qipao dancing seductively. The three judges immediately straightened their backs and sat up straight to watch.
The music stopped in less than 2 minutes. Tang Beibei finished her dance and bowed to the three judges.
The three of them looked at her in surprise.
“Did you hire someone to choreograph this dance for you, or was it taught to you by a teacher?” The dance teacher, Mu Zhi, asked excitedly.
“I made it up myself. If there are any shortcomings, please point them out.”
Mu Zhi stared at her in surprise. “Are you sure you made it up?”
Tang Beibei was puzzled. She had choreographed the dance herself. What else did she need to confirm?
“Teacher, is there a problem?”
Mu Zhi and the other two teachers looked at each other with doubt in their eyes.
Freelance dancer Cheng Jian smiled and said, “Then we’ll play a piece of music for you to improvise dance. Is that okay? Consider it extra credit.”
“Yes.”
Tang Beibei licked her lips nervously.
Cheng Jian chose a piece of music. It was an old song titled “Regret that We
Didn’t Meet Earlier.” His music choice really revealed his age.
Tang Beibei listened to a few bars. It was a song with rich emotions in a high pitch. She followed a beat and started dancing.
She had decided to do a modern dance with a few classical dance moves. She split jumped into a pirouette when she landed. Her movements were bold, and she had to keep up with her facial expressions. It was quite challenging.
But Tang Beibei couldn’t think too much about it and just danced based on feel.
When the music stopped, she was still immersed in the emotion of unrequited love. She continued to stretch out her hand, as if she person was right in front of her but she could not reach him. A strong feeling of sadness moved the three judges.
All three of them applauded her.
Improvisation was the best way to test a dancer’s reaction, understanding, choreography skills, and of course, the fundamentals of dance.
Number 45 had done a good job in these aspects.
“Well done, Number 45. Tang Beibei, congratulations for moving on to the next stage of the competition!”
“Thank you!”
Tang Beibei took a golden ticket from Xu Feng and did a 90-degree bow before she walked out of the audition room.
After she left, the three teachers were still not finished.
“This girl is quite interesting. She can be considered a talented dancer. She can easily attract attention just by standing there.” Teacher Mu Zhi was not stingy with her praise. It was obvious that she admired Tang Beibei.
Freestyle dancer Cheng Jian was more rational. “She’s indeed good-looking and very photogenic, but her skills are average. Compared to the stronger dancers before her, she’s still a little weak”
Xu Feng also nodded. “She can improvise but her basic skills are a little lacking.
It would really depend on her performance in the later stages of the competition.”
All three judges shared the same sentiment. They didn’t think very highly of Tang Beibei..
