Xiao He was unaware of what was happening in the practice room.

Over the next few days, his main task was to practice singing and dancing, and also to attend a few commercial events and activities, trying to appear in front of his fans as much as possible.

There were quite a few activities at the end of the year. Xiao He even took several flights to other cities to promote the upcoming web drama "Yu Ye". As a result, he was able to go to the practice room less and less often.

Coincidentally, every time Xiao He arrived at the practice room, he could only meet Xie Jingshi briefly, while the other person always seemed to be on his way late, never matching their normal timeline.

The last time, Xiao He and the others left a little late, and Lu Yuxi finally arrived.

The three people who were about to collaborate on stage have finally met for the first time.

The atmosphere between the parties involved was quite awkward.

Xiao He and Xie Jingshi treated Lu Yuxi like dirt; if it weren't for their upcoming performance together, they would have definitely given Lu Yuxi the cold shoulder.

However, even if he only maintained a facade, Xiao He would not indulge the other party.

He had already completed his training plan, so what was he still doing here? Rehearsing with Lu Yuxi one more time?

Whose time isn't time?

After glancing at his watch, Xiao He made an excuse that he needed to catch a flight that afternoon and left the studio first.

In the end, only Xie Jingshi and Lu Yuxi were left staring at each other.

"That Xiao He kid is pretty fast!"

Xie Jingshi smiled bitterly to himself, cursing Xiao He for being cunning. But since things had come to this, he couldn't just leave without giving anyone face like Xiao He did. So he could only stay an extra hour to spend more time with Lu Yuxi.

What Xie Jingshi didn't expect was that Lu Yuxi still couldn't remember some of the positions, or jumped the wrong way, and even stepped on Xie Jingshi's foot when changing positions.

Xie Jingshi's temper flared up instantly, and he felt the same anger and helplessness as Wen Huiyan.

—Most importantly, even if this person goes through it once, he doesn't take it seriously at all. His movements are loose and casual, seemingly very relaxed, as if he has the victory in his grasp. But in reality, he's just a street thug, dancing in a vulgar and uncouth manner.

Xie Jingshi didn't bother to say anything more, simply greeted them, and left as well.

Who cares about saving face for anyone else after dancing like that? Anyway, it won't be them who's embarrassed when they go on stage.

Xiao He is smart; he ran fast and didn't get angry. I'll definitely learn from him next time.

...

Before we knew it, it was mid-December.

The penguin's party is scheduled for the 23rd, and the peach's party is scheduled for the 24th, which means Xiao He will have to work two nights straight. The rehearsals for these two parties are scheduled for the afternoon of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd, respectively.

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was not too far, so the transition was not too difficult, and Xiao He's rehearsal for the penguin gala on the 22nd went very smoothly.

To promote "Sumiya", the lead actors sang one of the theme songs for "Sumiya".

The female lead of "Yu Ye" is Guo Xinya. As a veteran actress, her professional skills are beyond question. Singing is a skill she can do effortlessly. Yuan Sitong, as one of the top-tier actresses, also sings very well. On the other hand, Xiao He and Li Haoxuan each have their own difficulties.

Needless to say, Xiao He's performance was his first time on stage, and he was a complete novice before. It was already quite good that he could sing without going off-key or dragging the team down. As for Li Haoxuan, there's not much to say. It's really asking too much of him to sing a Chinese song when he can't even speak Mandarin properly.

Fortunately, the production team was aware of this, and the theme song they chose happened to include a part of the English chorus. So, during the performance, this part was generously given to Lee Ho-hyun.
