The girl was stunned by Fu Jinxiao's words, and it could be said that Shen Xingsui was also stunned.

The viewers in the live stream were also taken aback for a moment:

"Fu Jinxiao, whose family is facing difficulties."

"Hahaha, Mr. Fu, are you alright?"

"The Fu Group has withdrawn from the live broadcast."

"Brother Fu has always been very good at this."

Shen Xingsui's thoughts were different from everyone else's. Or rather, everyone tends to have a bit of a filter on their idols, like Shen Xingsui. He subconsciously wouldn't think that Fu Jinxiao was lying, because Fu Jinxiao had never lied to him before. So his first reaction wasn't whether he was being deceived, but rather...

My family has always been poor since I was a child, and becoming an actor was a small dream for me.

This might seem like a fantasy to others, but even if we take a step back, in the Fu family, for young Fu Jinxiao, he learned of his biological mother's death and his father's remarriage during his childhood. He faced pressure from the family, and everyone just thought that with so much wealth and being an only child, how could he have any worries...

But is it really not true?

Many people's hardships go unnoticed, even if they are told, it may not be believable.

But Jian Xingsui inexplicably felt that Fu Jinxiao... might have had a tough time all these years.

The girl opposite her didn't think that far ahead. She said, "That won't do. Although I understand your dream of becoming an actress, if you don't dance that drum dance, the performance won't be complete, and your mission will fail."

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow: "Since there are no spots available, it's the same if your brother dances the drum dance."

“My younger brother can’t learn drumming.” The little girl looked at Fu Yingdi and said, “Although it sounds easy, it is actually quite difficult, so only you can learn it, since you are all professionals.”

To some extent, this young girl actually managed to shut down the eloquent actor, Fu Yingdi.

Shen Xingsui genuinely believed that Fu Jinxiao wanted to take on this role, so she tentatively said, "Teacher Fu, it's okay if you want to perform. Otherwise, I'll give you my role, and I can try playing the drums."

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the air.

Fu Jinxiao gave Shen Xingsui a deep look, a look so meaningful that it left Shen Xingsui a little confused. Why was the movie star looking at her like that?

then

With a forced smile, Actor Fu said, "Comrade Shen, giving up roles casually in the acting world is a major taboo, understand?"

He made no mention of how he had just acted quite willfully.

Shen Xingsui realized that she had disrespected the role and quickly said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I understand. I will perform the fairy well."

Fu Jinxiao didn't want the child to blame himself, so she said slowly, "Drumming is more strenuous and requires more physical strength. You've been running around and chopping wood all morning, and your body won't be able to take it. Now that you've chosen your role, just relax and dance the fairy."

Shen Xingsui was surprised that Fu Jinxiao would consider so much for her sake, and was immediately moved: "Thank you, Teacher Fu."

Seeing that the topic had come up, the little girl next to her said, "Speaking of which, I asked you to carry several loads of water for our family this morning. Your shoulders are fine for playing the drum, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Xingsui became a little nervous: "Your shoulder?"

Fu Jinxiao didn't care about her body at all and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing."

As the group was chatting, the little girl's younger brother came out from behind. He was a very young man who looked youthful and sunny, giving off a very lively feeling. When he came out of the house and saw Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He came over, bowed, and said, "Hello, teachers."

Fu Jinxiao said, "Hello."

Shen Xingsui stared at the person in surprise.

For no other reason than that, isn't this my classmate Zhang Chi? I ran into him at the mall not long ago, and later Zhang Chi even wrote a Weibo post to speak up for himself. How did I end up running into him here? But thinking about it carefully, Zhang Chi does seem to be from an ethnic minority.

Zhang Chi walked up to Jian Xingsui, smiled nostalgically, and said, "Sui Sui, it's been a long time."

Shen Xingsui finally snapped out of her daze and quickly shook hands, saying, "Hello."

Seeing his somewhat stiff expression, Zhang Chi opened his arms and said, "It's so nice to see you again. We're about to work together. Can we hug?"

Shen Xingsui nodded. Since it was work, he didn't need to refuse, so he reached out and gave him a polite hug.

Zhang Chi was noticeably more enthusiastic, and Fu Yingdi, being the person he was, immediately noticed something was amiss. The man slowly and deliberately asked, "Do you know each other?"

Zhang Chi and Shen Xingsui answered at the same time:

"We used to be very good friends."

"He was a classmate of mine."

As the two people finished speaking, and their different relationships were brought up, the atmosphere seemed inexplicably awkward.

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow slightly. As a seasoned veteran of the underworld, although he was rather slow to perceive his own feelings, he was quite adept at discerning the feelings of others, especially his rivals. This Zhang Chi had shifty eyes, and his gaze was fixed on Shen Xingsui as soon as he appeared. He insisted that they were just ordinary classmates, but Fu Jinxiao simply did not believe it.

Fu Jinxiao's smile deepened, and he drawled out, "Classmate."

Zhang Chi's face looked a little off again.

As if afraid that he would become too comfortable, Fu Jinxiao, who was originally cold and polite, actually took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Since we all know each other, there is no need to be so polite. During dance practice, we will need your help to take care of Sui Sui. Please bear with us."

The movie star's way of dealing with people is always comfortable. He is known in the industry for his good interpersonal relationships, and no one can find fault with what he does. However, for some reason, after saying these words, he inexplicably and unconsciously asserted his dominance, causing Zhang Chi's smile to falter. He could only mutter in agreement, "Yes, don't worry, definitely."

The little girl behind me said, "Okay, let's start learning."

The group then separated to practice the dance.

The performance was scheduled for the evening, so the afternoon was rather rushed. After assigning roles, they began formally learning the dance. She also found another man to teach Fu Jinxiao the drum dance. The Fei ethnic group's dance movements are actually very simple, but they require a high level of range and strength. If an average person wanted to learn it, it would take at least ten days to half a month to learn even a little bit.

Including the current trainees and idols, some of Ning Ze and others have already started learning, but their progress is not particularly fast.

The man in charge of teaching Fu Jinxiao thought the same thing, expecting that he would master all the movements by evening at the earliest. However, he did not expect that when he went through the whole thing from beginning to end and was about to say that he would start from the first part, Fu Jinxiao said, "I will dance it for you from beginning to end, and you can see if there is any mistake."

?

The Fei man was somewhat surprised: "You remembered all of that?"

Fu Jinxiao rolled up her sleeves, nodded and said, "I had memorized most of it when we were in the square today, and now that I've seen you dance it again, I should be able to follow along."

The man was also somewhat stunned: "Then, then you give it a try."

This was also the first time that viewers had seen Fu Jinxiao dance in front of the camera.

As the drumbeats sounded, his movements unfolded crisply and cleanly, each movement perfectly timed to the beat. Some of the movements were a bit more difficult, such as the drum-throwing motion, which appeared slightly clumsy, but the subsequent movements flowed seamlessly together. Fu Jinxiao possessed a unique control over his dancing, and this power would be revealed once he stood on the stage and performed, as if he had torn off his usual disguise, revealing his most authentic and imposing side.

When the song ended, the Fei man was astonished.

Fu Jinxiao's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He said, "How do you feel?"

"Did you secretly learn it before?" The man smiled and scratched his head: "How come you can jump so well?"

Fu Jinxiao remained composed and, after putting on his coat, said, "Sometimes when I'm rushing to a gig, there isn't much time to rehearse many dance pieces. So, on the way, I have to quickly learn and memorize them by looking at them. Over time, I've developed the habit of shorthand."

The viewers in the live stream were also deeply saddened.

"Teacher Fu has truly made steady progress over the years."

"So handsome! So handsome!"

"Fu Jinxiao, forever a top star."

He deserves it!

The Fei man said, "You learn so fast, you're really amazing."

Not far away was where Shen Xingsui and Zhang Chi were practicing. The two were doing a duet dance, so there was bound to be a lot of physical contact. Although it was barely noticeable that they were practicing, the movements were still a bit too intimate because of the dance.

Fu Jinxiao turned her gaze away from the distance and smiled, "It would be better to learn it sooner, after all, my teammates and I are together. If I learn it sooner, I can go and help them, right?"

The Fei people's men were genuinely kind; one of them patted Fu Jinxiao on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you're a really good person, loyal and righteous!"

Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "You flatter me."

However, some viewers in the live stream seemed to have seen through everything:

"Sisters, I reasonably suspect that my brother just wanted to go and cause trouble."

"Haha, watch your words."

"What's going on? Disruption is clearly a form of supervision."

"I already said I was helping out~"

Shen Xingsui over there was also in dire straits. The fairy's dance steps looked really beautiful when the girls danced them, with silk and satin making them look like fairies. But when it came to him, he found it a bit difficult to take each step.

Zhang Chi comforted him, saying, "It's okay, take it slow, we can try again."

Shen Xingsui nodded.

One of their dance steps involved the fairy handing the groom her hand, the groom pulling the fairy around once, the two of them each spinning once, and then separating. However, because they lacked coordination, they would often let go of each other's hands or fall together while dancing.

Zhang Chi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Did I hold you back?"

Shen Xingsui gently shook her head, stood up from the ground, dusted herself off, and then looked up and laughed: "At most, we were just pulling each other's ankles, okay?"

Zhang Chi was amused by him.

After stomping his feet a few times, Shen Xingsui said, "I feel much better now. Let's try a few more times, otherwise tonight's performance won't be a fairy descending to earth, but a face-plant."

Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui's humorous smile, her decisiveness in getting up immediately after falling down, and how she never easily lost heart even when faced with difficulties, but instead comforted him with humor. He was suddenly a little dazed.

Shen Xingsui hesitated: "Why are you spacing out?"

Zhang Chi snapped out of his daze and said slowly, "No, I just feel like you've become the same as before."

You used to be a very cheerful and optimistic person.

You gradually changed later.

Ever since An Ran transferred here, you've gradually become somewhat gloomy and stopped smiling. You seem to have become a completely different person, which is quite frightening. But for some reason, you seem to be slowly turning back now, and you've become much more cheerful, as if you've been bathed in sunshine and rain.

This version of Shen Xingsui stirred his heart again. After returning to China, he had been paying attention to Jian Xingsui and became more and more attracted to him as he looked at him, wanting to make it up to him.

Shen Xingsui was puzzled, and simply wiped the sweat from his brow, asking, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Chi was about to say something, but seeing the cameraman behind him, he knew they were still filming a program, so he shook his head, smiled, and said, "No, I just think you're doing pretty well!"

Although Shen Xingsui didn't understand what this meant, she didn't pay attention since she needed to practice dancing. She simply rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then let's practice again."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Okay!"

Although the movements were simple, Zhang Chi still stumbled because of his lack of dance experience. Just as the two were having some trouble, someone's voice came from the side: "Zhang Chi, when you dance, don't put all your weight on your legs. Pay attention to your eyes. Look upwards."

The two of them were startled and turned around to look.

Fu Jinxiao walked over and corrected Zhang Chi's posture: "Try again."

Zhang Chi nodded, and then tried dancing with Shen Xingsui again. This time, he stopped putting all his weight on his feet and started trying to coordinate his eyes and upper body. Surprisingly, it was much better.

Zhang Chi said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Fu. How did you know?"

Shen Xingsui chimed in from the side, laughing, "Teacher Fu is a very experienced senior. Even when I participated in the talent show 'Starlight,' he was the one who taught me my dance. I was super clumsy back then and even got scolded. You don't know how amazing Teacher Fu is. He gave me a few pointers, and I danced that part very well..."

Zhang Chi listened to Shen Xingsui's endless chatter.

This person can be quite introverted and quiet at times, but when talking about things they are interested in and passionate about, they become radiant and full of energy, like right now.

Zhang Chi then looked at Fu Jinxiao, who was standing not far away. The tall and handsome man had a lazy posture, but his aura was very strong. Especially when he pointed out his shortcomings, he was very insightful and composed.

Zhang Chi said softly, "Indeed, Teacher Fu is quite impressive..."

He felt a little frustrated.

Although he did have feelings for Shen Xingsui, he seemed utterly helpless in front of a powerful and mature man like Fu Jinxiao, with absolutely no chance of winning.

Shen Xingsui said, "One more time?"

Zhang Chi snapped out of his reverie and nodded slightly, saying, "Okay!"

Although he had gradually become more familiar with the dance steps, this time, perhaps because there was someone else watching him, Zhang Chi became inexplicably nervous. He was already unsteady, and being watched like that made him make even more mistakes. When he turned a corner, he lost his balance and twisted his ankle, falling to the ground.

Shen Xingsui was slightly surprised and hurriedly went over to help him up: "Are you alright?"

Zhang Chi looked rather pale and said repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just need to rest for a bit."

A little girl from nearby ran over and said, "Why don't you rest for a while?"

Everyone stopped and took the opportunity to rest.

Because Zhang Chi sprained his ankle, the production team naturally arranged for someone to bring him emergency medicine such as safflower oil. Since Zhang Chi was his partner, Shen Xingsui took on the task of applying the medicine to his teammate. He half-squatted down beside him and evenly applied the safflower oil to Zhang Chi's somewhat red and swollen injury.

The two of them suddenly got very close.

Zhang Chi looked up at him, somewhat touched, and said gently, "Sui Sui, thank you..."

Shen Xingsui felt it was no trouble at all and said casually, "It's okay. If you feel uncomfortable, just say so. Although dancing is important, your health is more important."

His subtext was that if you don't think it's working, you should quickly change your dance partner and not delay them from completing their task.

However, Zhang Chi clearly misunderstood, only thinking that Shen Xingsui cared about him a lot.

Zhang Chi looked at Shen Xingsui with eyes full of emotion: "Sui Sui..."

Not far away, Zhang Chi's sister also brought over some of their Fei tribe's wound medicine. Fu Jinxiao happened to be nearby, so she handed it to him and said, "Our wound medicine works very quickly. Let your brother apply it, and it will heal faster."

Fu Jinxiao nodded slightly.

As he strolled over, he was met with a jarring sight. Shen Xingsui was diligently doing his duty, but the young man's gaze as he looked down at him held a different kind of emotion. The two were standing very close together. Although he knew it was just simple care, for some reason, the movie star Fu still narrowed his eyes slightly. This was a sign that his mood was starting to sour. In fact, when he was unhappy, someone always had to suffer.

Fu Jinxiao walked over slowly and handed the powder to Shen Xingsui: "This was given to him by his sister, let him use it."

Shen Xingsui quickly took it: "Okay."

The moment their arms touched, Fu Jinxiao froze for a moment. Then, he frowned slightly but said nothing. He simply handed the powder to Shen Xingsui and that was the end of it.

Shen Xingsui, however, inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

He hesitated for only a moment on the ground before quickly standing up and saying, "Teacher Fu, is your shoulder uncomfortable?"

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow.

"I heard from my sister that you carried several loads of water this morning." Shen Xingsui saw Fu Jinxiao standing there alone. Although his back was still straight and his expression was normal, no matter how well he maintained it, he could not hide the fatigue between his brows. This reminded Shen Xingsui that he seemed to have been on business trips and rushing to announcements for the past two days and had been very busy.

I did so much heavy work this morning, and I probably haven't had much rest. How could I not be tired?

And they also have to dance the drum dance at night...

He knew that the encouragement dance was the most tiring, but he still made himself dance the easiest one and took on all the responsibility.

Shen Xingsui felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Are you feeling unwell? How about I rub it for you? That might make you feel better."

He stared intently at Fu Jinxiao.

However, those familiar with Fu Jinxiao, including her fans, know that she never troubles others.

He even injured his wrist during the recording of a program once, but it didn't affect the recording. He insisted on staying until the end before going to the hospital. He also usually keeps his distance from other juniors, so he has always been free of scandals.

However, this time...

Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow, seemingly glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Zhang Chi sitting on a chair not far away. His beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and finally he nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xingsui was taken aback.

Zhang Chi, who was standing not far away and thought he would definitely refuse, was also taken aback.

Fu Jinxiao's dark eyes were deep and brooding, but his face remained kind, displaying a very senior demeanor: "But aren't you still going to apply medicine to Zhang Chi? I think his condition is quite serious, so perhaps..."

Shen Xingsui turned to look at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi suddenly felt the pressure: "It's okay, it's okay, I can do it myself, and my sister can help me too."

Shen Xingsui then said to Fu Jinxiao, "Then I'll rub it for you."

"I see."

Fu Jinxiao sat down on a chair not far away. The man's movements were elegant. When his gaze met Zhang Chi's, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Then I'll trouble you."
