He was standing very close to Jiao Xiu, so he could clearly see the fleeting displeasure in the other’s eyes.
However, Feng Yuanxuan remained silent, waiting for the other party’s reply.
His fingers were digging into his palms, his heart pounding. This was the first time he had ever been so assertive.
Sure enough, Jiao Xiu smiled and said, “Okay.”
He clenched his fist, then quickly relaxed it, strode to the computer, and began to look at it intently.
Feng Yuanxuan didn’t go over; he just stood at a distance, watching him like the other students.
After a moment, Jiao Xiu stood up with a helpless expression: “Okay, I can’t change it. I don’t know where to start with the song that Xuan Xuan wrote.”
A smile flashed in Feng Yuanxuan’s eyes. Sure enough, what Gu Yuzheng said was true.
Jiao Xiu then laughed and said, “I’ve thought of how to modify this part of the dance. Let’s give it a try.”
He was popular and well-liked, so the other students listened to him when he spoke.
“Okay, let’s change the dance.” Bei Yifan, who had always been supportive of changing the dance, immediately agreed.
Jiao Xiu looked at Feng Yuanxuan and said with a smile, “Xuan Xuan, you can’t dance yet. Let’s play this piece first and then we can practice the dance.”
“Okay.” Since the other party had already chosen to change the dance, Feng Yuanxuan didn’t care about anything else.
In fact, the movements that Jiao Xiu came up with were also inappropriate. Feng Yuanxuan could tell that he just wanted to shift the solution to changing the dance.
Fortunately, their group’s dancers were quite skilled. Although Hu Changming was not a likable person, his dancing skills were still very good. Bei Yifan was also very good at choreography, and he contributed a lot to their dance choreography.
After that, when there were any mismatches, Feng Yuanxuan used the same trick again. By the third time, when the music and dance were out of sync, Jiao Xiu directly asked everyone to come up with a way to change the dance moves.
The dance underwent a major overhaul, but fortunately, the effect was excellent.
Their group’s previously stagnant progress had been pushed forward significantly.
Feng Yuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief. As the team leader, his biggest fear was that his team would fail to complete the task.
Shortly after 2 PM, Sheng Ziyou arrived at Gu Yuzheng’s group practice room.
“Hello, Teacher Sheng!” they all greeted in unison.
The group looked at Sheng Ziyou, a flash of amazement crossing their eyes.
She was wearing something different now than she was this morning; she was wearing a white tracksuit.
White sportswear didn’t look good on many people, especially those who were overweight or had darker skin tones.
But Sheng Ziyou was slim and fair-skinned with delicate features, and this sportswear made her look like an ethereal fairy.
Lin Yidong was quite direct; he sidled up to her and said with a sweet smile, “Teacher Sheng, you’re so beautiful!”
Sheng Ziyou glanced at him, secretly pleased: “You’re such a smooth talker.”
No woman was unhappy when praised by boys.
“Hehe.” Lin Yidong chuckled foolishly.
“Ji Ran, what did you have for lunch?” She looked at Ji Ran again.
Ji Ran immediately shook the thermos in her hand: “I brought some white porridge!”
He didn’t know why, but he was so nervous in front of Teacher Sheng, afraid that she would be disappointed or angry with him.
Sheng Ziyou was satisfied: “Okay, not bad.”
Her gaze then fell upon Gu Yuzheng, her bright and clear eyes making Gu Yuzheng blush and his heart race.
“Come on, rehearse with me, let’s see if I can learn the dance.”
“Of course! Teacher Sheng, you’ve been learning dance, and this is what you can do!” Fu Jiahuan praised, giving a thumbs up.
They all recalled the amazing learning ability that Sheng Ziyou displayed when she battled Zheng Jiaoqian and Wen Shanshan that day.
Sheng Ziyou smiled, somewhat helplessly.
But being around these young people made her feel young again.
They had inexhaustible energy and were talkative and mischievous.
When angry, it was hard for them to hide their anger; and when happy, it was hard for them to suppress the smile on their faces.
Seeing their direct expression of liking and appreciation was something that made you want to smile.
Sometimes in society, one should always keep a smile on their face, be polite in their interactions with others, and control their expression when happy.
When you’re unhappy, you need to control your emotions even more. You should restrain yourself when facing people you like and suppress yourself when facing people you don’t like.
These boys were still young; they hadn’t been molded by this industry yet, and they hadn’t developed the qualities that public figures should have.
How innocent and lovely they were.
“Come on, let’s hurry up,” Sheng Ziyou said with a smile.
“Teacher Sheng, please stand here. We’ll wait a moment…” Gu Yuzheng began to explain, carefully and patiently in his deep and pleasant voice.
Sheng Ziyou was already a dancer, and having already demonstrated her learning ability, she didn’t hold back and learned extremely quickly.
She could do whatever they asked very quickly, which was extremely reassuring.
“I don’t think this move will work…” Sheng Ziyou suddenly stopped, frowning slightly.
Gu Yuzheng and the others were all willing to listen to advice, so they asked her, “What’s wrong?”
“If the three of you do the same movement, and I do the same movement as you, it will look very chaotic,” Sheng Ziyou said. “On stage, the lights are of many colors, and unless you zoom in to look at the face, you can’t see a person’s movements very clearly.”
“Oh… I understand. It means that if the movements are too complex and have too many distinct layers, it might become very confusing.” Fu Jiahuan nodded. He had been dancing for many years and had performed many times, so he understood immediately.
“Yes, since no one is singing at this time, we will coordinate all the movements. Look at this…” Sheng Ziyou tilted her head, then twisted her waist and then tossed her head, her hands moving in unison, creating a simple yet very beautiful movement.
“Wow—damn—” Several people covered their faces, looking frantic, and screamed.
“What’s wrong?” Sheng Ziyou stopped what she was doing, looking helpless.
“Teacher Sheng, you’re so charming!!!” Fu Jiahuan covered his face, which was still a little red.
Sheng Ziyou glanced at him. In her past life, she was this type of dancer—she looked alluring to men and cool to women.
Is this movement okay?
Gu Yuzheng’s face also turned a little red: “It’s possible… but we’re afraid we won’t dance well.”
“Give it a try?”
The group practiced in front of the mirror, with Sheng Ziyou breaking down the movement.
“Fu Jiahuan! Is your head filled with mush? Why are you shaking it so carefully?” Sheng Ziyou glared at Fu Jiahuan in the mirror.
Fu Jiahuan hurriedly exerted his strength.
“Lin Yidong, you’ve gone too far with this!”
Lin Yidong blushed and quickly put the money away.
“Again!”
Everyone looked in the mirror and tried again.
Sheng Ziyou laughed: “Not bad, all very good. Raising your chin slightly like this, isn’t it handsome?”
“Beautiful!” Fu Jiahuan couldn’t help but praise, “It looks really good when you do these movements together.”
“Right? Because it’s a singing and dancing performance, everyone should move in unison except when singing. The synchronized and beautiful movements, plus a bit of difficulty, create a very strong impact!” Sheng Ziyou said to herself in front of the mirror, while also jumping around.
Gu Yuzheng was usually calm and composed, but he can’t help but laugh when practicing dancing with Sheng Ziyou.
The group was very efficient that afternoon. Besides the fact that “working together as a team of men and women” made things easier, Sheng Ziyou was also a very interesting person.
Sometimes she uttered insightful remarks, and other times she offered earnest and valuable advice.
“And then it’s my turn to sing, right?” Sheng Ziyou asked.
“Yes, these four lines are yours, and when you sing them, our hands will stretch out like this, waving around you,” Gu Yuzheng explained the concept.
Sheng Ziyou looked in the mirror, lost in thought. After a moment, she said, “Don’t you think this looks like a shamanistic ritual?”
Gu Yuzheng: “…”
“Pfft, hahaha—” His teammates burst out laughing.
Gu Yuzheng couldn’t help but laugh: “Then, Youbao, how do you suggest we change it?”
“Wow! Zheng-ge, you’re cheating! You actually called Teacher Sheng ‘Youbao,’ I want to call her that too!!” Fu Jiahuan exploded and immediately shouted, “Youbao!”
Sheng Ziyou: “…”
“Youbao!” Jing Xianglei, unusually playful, called out as well.
After that, Fan Jiaxu also called out “Youbao”.
Ji Ran blushed slightly and said softly, “Youbao.”
He didn’t know why, but he felt an indescribable joy when he said those two words.
“Wow! You all call her Youbao, but I’ll still call her Teacher Sheng. That way, I’ll be the only one who calls her Teacher Sheng!” Lin Yidong said happily.
Fu Jiahuan retorted, “Do you think the trainees from the two groups next door are invisible?!”
Sheng Ziyou shook her head helplessly: “It doesn’t matter what you call me, whatever you want. Come on, let’s start the dance.”
The group immediately stood in their positions.
“How about this? I’ll walk forward and stand in the middle, and then you can continue dancing in unison. As for the movements…” Sheng Ziyou thought.
Jing Xianglei stepped forward: “How about this, let’s do something more challenging.”
As he spoke, he demonstrated it himself.
It was unanimously approved by everyone.
This was the benefit of everyone working together towards a common goal; everyone was actively contributing their own strength, and those who couldn’t help could focus on their weaknesses.
This group included Fu Jiahuan and Lin Yidong, who were good at creating a lively atmosphere; Gu Yuzheng, Ji Ran, Jing Xianglei, and Fan Jiaxu, who were also quite talkative; and a very beautiful and talented female mentor whom they liked very much.
They danced for four hours in one afternoon and barely rested.
The dance was thus finalized, and almost everyone could dance it. The rest was about refining the movements, which was the direction they needed to work on next.
Despite the intense practice, everyone had a pretty good time that afternoon.
