When it was Yan Han’s turn to compete later, he also demonstrated this point very well.
In the past, the squad leaders had only seen some photos on anonymous forums and knew that their Brother Yan danced well, but there was still a big difference between the photo and the real person, and the difference between static and dynamic was even greater!
Yan Han, standing on the dance machine, took a deep breath and completely switched himself back to his previous playful and active state.
Before starting, he simply stretched his shoulders and familiarized himself with the screen of the dance machine. His stern expression showed unprecedented concentration. When the accompaniment of the dance machine started and the first note passed, he stepped on that spot accurately.
The songs for the semi-finals were a bit more difficult, and the notes had become denser.
But despite this, after a few points Yan Han had become familiar with this rhythm.
He didn’t understand music and had never heard this song before. His reaction was entirely based on his eyes, looking and judging at the prepared notes that appeared in advance, and when they continued to rise and reached the judgment line, he stepped on the direction keys on the ground to get points.
His natural high reaction speed and sharp eyesight made him look similar to those contestants who had practiced for a long time. Since it was not at all difficult compared to the preliminary auditions, Yan Han could only concentrate on the screen. Most of the time he could not pay attention to his posture like he did last time.
Even so, his long arms and legs, perfect figure and graceful limbs automatically became a plus, making every movement he made on stage look free and handsome.
As the music progressed to its climax, the rhythm points became more and more dense, which was no longer something that people who were simply familiar with the music could follow. It also required better physical fitness to support it.
Many people know where to step but their bodies simply could not react. The movements of the people on the stage gradually become jerky and disordered. Some people even simply gave up and stood still on the dance machine.
Yan Han no longer cared about whether he was graceful or not. He focused entirely on the symbols on the screen. His flexible body obeyed his brain’s control and he was always able to react immediately.
Another string of symbols flashed by quickly, and in order to step on the spot perfectly, he had to make several sliding steps in succession. This was a completely subconscious reaction. He himself didn’t know how he did it, but one climax was enough to make the whole stadium boil!
The most amazing thing was that after the entire climax, Yan Han on the stage not only did not lose the rhythm, but he was able to continue dancing!
The audience couldn’t help but cheer and applaud him. Wen Juerong clapped his hands loudly and shouted to the students around him: “Look, I told you that Brother Yan looks so handsome on this dance machine!”
“Brother Yan is really suitable for sports!” Qin Siyu also looked at him with envy.
“This kind of Brother Yan is the real Brother Yan!”
They shouted, and the people around them couldn’t hear what they were saying, but they still joined in the shouting.
The atmosphere at the scene was completely stirred up, and even the usually calm Lin Jianlu cheered for him with bright eyes.
The sound of music and cheers attracted more people to watch. Many people could not help but record the whole process with their mobile phones. When the last note ended, Yan Han stopped panting, and feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, he waved his arms towards his classmates.
He felt good about himself. The most important thing was that he danced to his heart’s content. It had been a long time since he had been so active. His mood was also bright. He blew a kiss to those who cheered for him and bowed to express his gratitude.
This action soon attracted a bigger response, and maybe his casual punk outfit today matched the dance music very well, but after one dance he had already gained nearly 10,000 points of amazing value.
The values above people’s heads that were visible to the naked eye increased again. Yan Han thought about it, then blinked at the audience and made a “wink” gesture. He successfully showed off again, and the amazing value increased a little bit again.
…If he hadn’t been unable to think of any more handsome and eye-catching pose, he wouldn’t have wanted to come down from the stage!
After coming down from the stage, Yan Han was called over by the judges of the organizer to register and say a few words. He was basically certain that he would be able to stay in the first game of the rematch.
Today’s semi-finals required the selection of the top eight. After the players behind them finished competing, they would need to draw lots to continue the competition. Those who were lucky could directly participate in the competition for the top eight, while those who were unlucky would have to play another game in the middle. That meant he had at least one or two games to participate in this afternoon.
Yan Han was afraid that his classmates would be bored, so he wanted them to do whatever they needed to do and not accompany him.
But Wen Juerong and the others insisted not to leave and wanted to stay with him until the end.
Two more people were sent out to buy water, and the rest of the people pressed him down on a chair, almost massaging his shoulders and legs.
Yan Han: …
Yan Han thought back to when he was little and it seemed like he had bad luck in many things.
But the only thing he had was something that God had blessed him with in both of his lives, and that thing was friendship.
He couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotions at the moment. While it was not his turn yet, he went to the large video game store upstairs with Wen Juerong and the others and showed off his skills there.
The myth of the cool gamer was once again born in this shopping mall.
Even the manager of the video game store came to ask if he could keep one or two photos of Yan Han playing arcade games and hang them on the display board. Yan Han thought that his clothes today went well with the arcade machines, and if he hung up the photos, maybe someone would see them and be amazed, so he agreed.
It was a rare opportunity for him to come out, so he had a great time this afternoon. It turned out that playing was his life.
However, the elder brother’s good luck did not last in the Street Dance King competition. He was not drawn to advance directly, so he still had to participate in two competitions.
But there was nothing surprising, and he finally made it into the quarterfinals.
After the top eight were selected, it would be the finals. It seemed that the organizer wanted to make it a big deal. The date of the finals had not been decided yet, so he was told to wait for notification.
But as long as he could squeeze in, there was hope. Yan Han dared not be careless in the finals. He asked Xiao Wu to write down the matter of practicing the dance machine in a small notebook, and it would be best for him to come here to practice every weekend starting from next week.
…Just think of it as physical exercise. Playing this game will also add extra points to your physical fitness.
To celebrate, Yan Han insisted on treating everyone to a meal.
At first, others disagreed and said they should split the bill, but Yan Han said that if seven or eight middle school students sat together for a meal, it wouldn’t cost much even if they didn’t drink alcohol.
Moreover, he made some money from live streaming recently, and he wanted to share good things with people around him. In addition, the bonus given to him by the school for his bravery should be sent to his grandparents next week… He had already earned quite a bit of money since he came here.
Yan Han said casually: “The one who only takes in and never gives out is a Pixiu[1]. I don’t have that kind of fate. It’s time to spend some money now.”
Only then did everyone agree.
It was already eight o’clock after dinner. The classmates who had been hanging out with them for the whole day were now being urged to go home by their families. The families of Wen Juerong and the class monitor also called to inquire about the situation. Yan Han just remembered that he had an appointment with Li Hongqing, so he said that they should stop here for today and get together again another day.
No one had any objection, and the other students all lived locally and went back home on weekends. Even Qin Siyu was going to stay in her sister’s dormitory tonight. Yan Han happened to be alone and it was not convenient for him to go with anyone.
He waved goodbye to everyone in a very cool manner, walked towards the school, took out his mobile phone, called Li Hongqing, and told him that he was free now.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the commercial street was busy with traffic and the road leading to the school was crowded with people. So even if he went back to school alone, others were not worried that he would encounter any danger.
Just as he said goodbye to the others, Brother Yan took out his cell phone to make a call. Wen Juerong touched his chubby chin and fell into deep thought: “No, I always feel that something is wrong with Brother Yan.”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Jianlu asked beside him.
Lin Jianlu asked, and Wen Juerong told him.
“Big Brother Lin, you were not there when we met Brother Yan this morning, so you didn’t see the expression on Brother Yan’s face when he was talking on the phone… It was the first time I saw Brother Yan smile like that…”
“Hmm?” Su Linpei beside him suddenly pricked up his ears, “What are you talking about? Speak clearly!”
“When we met Brother Yan this morning, he was talking on the phone. He didn’t smile much, but his expression looked very relaxed… more relaxed than ever before.”
….
Where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, and students could never avoid gossip.
The monitor and the other female student also exaggerated what happened. In the end, it was unknown who was the first to draw the conclusion:
“…You guys don’t think, Brother Yan is not really in love, right?”
