Chapter 7- Status: Want to Empathize

Sang Xian’s new announcement to Ran Shu’s organization is for him to assist a guest on a show.

Logically speaking, this job should be straightforward.

Ran Shu only needs to arrive at the shooting location, rehearse with another contestant for a few days, shoot some tidbits during the training period, and then go directly to the stage to perform.

As for whether he can help this guest get a good ranking in the future or whether this guest can advance smoothly, he doesn’t have to care.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to provide some help to this guest so that Ran Shu will be in a good mood for two days. But that’s all there is to it: he just has to appear.

It happened that such a simple assistant performance made Ran Shu the headline on the day of the live broadcast.

Ran Shu said it reluctantly.

But he even wanted Sang Xian to remove the headline.

He really didn’t want to ask Sang Xian, so he forcibly held back.

But because of this – he collapsed!

Ran Shu sat cross-legged on the floor of the training room, watching Liang Junfan dance with a dull expression. He couldn’t help but rub his face helplessly.

“Before I came, I thought that you might not be good at dancing…” Ran Shu covered his face with his hands, and his voice came out from between his fingers, muffled.

Liang Junfan walked up to Ran Shu and asked very seriously: “Is it particularly bad?”

“I can see that you are trying hard to dance well, but your dancing posture is as if someone threw a cigarette butt into your neck.”

Liang Junfan was not angry after hearing this description but laughed out loud like thunder.

Liang Junfan was originally a singer and participated in a singer competition program.

Unfortunately, he had the lowest number of votes in the previous voting, so he had to choose the track at the end. He doesn’t know if the other guests did it on purpose, but only one song and dance were left for him.

A vocal, forcibly became a dancer.

“If I hadn’t really reached a desperate situation, I wouldn’t be able to invite you here.” Liang Junfan replied very sincerely, his tone full of helplessness.

Although the company arranged the job, if Liang Junfan didn’t want to invite Ran Shu, the job wouldn’t fall to Ran Shu.

Even if Ran Shu’s popularity has declined in the past two years, his dancing skills as an idol are still unquestionable.

Ran Shu’s strength was so strong that Liang Junfan felt that as long as Ran Shu came, they would be able to turn the tide.

Ran Shu finally stood up and came all the time, and he couldn’t live up to people’s expectations.

He stepped aside to watch a dance demonstration.

He has always been very good at pick-up dancing. Generally, he can remember the outline after watching it the first time, and he can jump out after the second time.

After Ran Shu danced along with the video, he turned off the video, turned on the music, and presented the dance in its entirety to the mirror in the training room without missing a beat or forgetting a single move.

After all, he has practiced dancing since he was a child, and he has a good foundation. He has not slackened his practice in these years, and he is always ready to go. It is very easy for him to keep up with the rhythm.

He has excellent strength and balance when he dances, and his slender figure does not lose his sense of strength. His dance moves are presented graciously, and there will be a feeling of releasing emotions towards his audience.

“Hey!” Liang Junfan applauded after reading it, “As expected of a professional, it’s too good. I didn’t ask the wrong person.” Walking over to Liang Junfan, he began to teach Liang Junfan some dance moves little by little.

Liang Junfan has an excellent personality and tries his best to cooperate.

For three consecutive days, they would rehearse until the wee hours of the morning.

On the day of the competition, the program team prepared very loose clothes for Ran Shu.

In the dance, his movements are open and direct. There are even somersaults present. After changing into his costume, he tried some moves in a place where there was no camera. He immediately rolled his eyes and pointed to his chest: “Fix this. Else, after this dance, there will be uncle ribs everywhere in my chat.” 

The assistant quickly understood and said to him: “I understand!”

Ran Shu has a slender figure, and many clothes borrowed from brand dealers would make him fat, so Ran Shu’s assistant carried a sewing kit in his bag all year round. 

Needlework and buttons, alike.

After he took off his clothes and trousers, the assistant began to sew them up with ease.

The assistant’s technique is very good. Even if the fixed buttons are removed later, there will be no traces on the clothes.

He put on his own clothes and sat aside. Ran Shu took out his mobile phone to scan the voting platform for a while and took a rough look at the votes.

Liang Junfan is a capable male singer, but his looks are not outstanding. In the entertainment circle, this kind of look is too passerby, and there is no one who’d actually bother to remember him.

In addition, he used to sing the theme song of TV dramas, so the singer is not popular.

Everyone is familiar with his songs, but he has not participated in any variety shows before, so not many audiences are familiar with him. The combination of these factors sends him to the bottom of the polls despite his strength.

This round is another challenge since dancing is not his strength. This proves the situation to be extremely difficult.

At this time, the assistant gave the clothes back to Ran Shu again, and a small button was sewn on the inside of the clothes and both sides of the trousers.

After he put on the clothes, the assistant squatted down and hung a rubber band between the clothes and trousers. He then fixed the rubber band with a needle and thread.

Ran Shu tried it again, and the clothes would not lift up again. He was more than satisfied.

Before taking the stage, Ran Shu stood beside Liang Junfan and patted him on the back: “Don’t be nervous.”

“I hope this stage will not become your black history.”

“No, my black history is always when I flipped and threw my shoe out.”

“Hahahaha!” Liang Junfan couldn’t stop laughing. Fortunately, his microphone was turned off. Otherwise, the audience would definitely hear a galloping horse.

Following the guidance of the host, the two came to the stage and completed the performance.

Although Liang Junfan has shortcomings, he is remarkable and has achieved the ultimate that he can do.

Ran Shu’s stage performance has always been perfect, without any flaws, and on the stage, he is the brightest star.

After finishing the live broadcast, Ran Shu was elated while muttering about completing another job. He said goodbye to the others and left the shooting site.

However, as soon as he returned to the hotel and took a shower, he picked up his phone and fell into a daze.
