"1234, 2234, okay, start manually, something's wrong here."

Teacher Lin stepped forward and gently adjusted Xi Xinxin's wrist.

The comments slowly started appearing.

Practicing so early in the morning, that's so inspiring!

In that case, I'll try my best to play games first thing in the morning!

Actually, Xi Xinxin's movements were already very good, but I heard from other teachers that Teacher Lin is a perfectionist, even with beginners. She's very picky.

When yesterday's practice session ended, Teacher Lin expressed satisfaction with Xi Xinxin and the others, which was already a very high evaluation for a beginner.

"Xi Dai, watch me dance this step once. I feel like you're not quite letting loose here." Teacher Lin held Xi Xinxin's hand, and the way she moved from her arm to her neck was extremely ambiguous, but Teacher Lin was a professional dancer.

She should be beating well in her heart.

This action was exceptionally difficult for Xi Dai, who harbored ulterior motives. She always unconsciously wanted to get closer or further away, and couldn't help but want to see what Xi Xinxin's expression was.

Xi Dai took a big gulp of water, and her mood gradually calmed down. She even found herself a little ridiculous. Why had she been so impatient?

"Cough cough"

Xi Xinxin patted Xi Dai, who had accidentally choked, and said, "Don't worry, I believe in Dai Dai. We still have a good show to watch today."

Receiving a questioning look from Xi Dai, Xi Xinxin simply shushed her and winked.

At lunchtime, Guan Ge couldn't wait to announce his plans: "Everyone, I've remembered the song I hummed before, and I'd like to sing it for you before lunch."

Everyone else was incredibly excited, especially Bai Tianrao. She immediately moved her stool next to Guan Ge, her large, bright eyes filled with anticipation. Under that gaze, Guan Ge also felt a little distracted.

He coughed seriously, took a sip of water, and began his performance. Guan Ge, being a singer after all, did imitate Guan Jing's tone quite well, about 70% similar.

It's a very lively tune, and as people hum along, they naturally start clapping and making the rhythm.

The comments section was filled with praise, saying that Guan Ge was definitely Jing without a doubt.

While everyone was engrossed in the singer, Xi Xinxin secretly observed Bai Tianrao. She froze on the spot when she heard Guan Ge's first humming.

That's true. The humming that healed her back then wasn't in such a cheerful tone, but rather very gentle music. As a fervent fan, she had long since etched Jing's voice into her heart, no matter how well Guan Ge imitated it.

In Bai Tianrao's heart, it was definitely not Jing.

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, she quietly asked, as everyone applauded after the song ended, "Brother Guan, was this really the first song you hummed?"

Although Guan felt guilty, he thought that since it was sent to him by the person in question, and it had been so long, how could Bai Tianrao possibly still remember? "Yes, that's right."

Bai Tianrao remained silent.

Guan Ge thought she was giving him a hard time and was also a little dissatisfied: "Didn't you say you were my fan? Are you questioning me just because you have some mistakes in your memory?"

In fact, Bai Tianrao also began to doubt herself. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old when she first heard it. At that time, it was also around the time when boys' voices started to change. It was said that Jing was two or three years older than her.

However, one thing is certain: Jing was definitely not humming this song at the time.

Xi Xinxin asked Guan Jing why he deleted it, and Guan Jing said it was because he was too embarrassed to hum the songs himself, and felt a little awkward every time he thought about it. So he composed the music afterwards and never posted any more songs online.

However, this humming was in private. Guan Jing also sent himself a copy. He was a bit hesitant when he sent it.

Soon, a video of Guan Jing humming was edited out. The title was "Jing's First Humming Song Makes a Comeback."

Compared to her initial enthusiasm and outgoing personality, Bai Tianrao became like a withered plant after listening to the song. She ate in complete silence.

The host took advantage of the moment when everyone was still relaxed and said, "There will be a severe thunderstorm tonight, so it's best to turn off all the electricity. We also hope that those of you in the area will take precautions for safety."

The thunderstorm came quickly. The host had barely finished speaking when it started to drizzle outside.

When it was time to start practice in the afternoon, Bai Tianrao was still a little unwilling to give up. She rushed up to Guan Ge and asked, "Are you really sure that song was your first one?"

“Even if you’re my fan, you can’t question me like that.” Brother Guan said righteously, “I’m definitely singing that song, Miss Bai. I know your singing skills are also very good, but you can’t keep questioning me like this.”

Bai Tianrao gave up, her eyes dimming. She entered the dance studio.

Accompanied by bursts of thunder, the rain outside grew heavier and heavier.

Because they were worried that everyone wouldn't be able to get back to their dorms in time, the dance teachers let people go early. The live stream then ended there. As it concluded, the host reminded everyone again to be careful with electricity.

As soon as Xi Xinxin entered the dormitory arranged by the director, she heard a loud bang and a flash of light. Even though she was not afraid of thunder, she was still startled.

She turned on the light and took a hot shower.

Before she could even change her clothes, she heard a knock on the door. Xi Xinxin quickly put on a bathrobe, glanced through the peephole, and opened the door.

Xu Chacha was standing outside the door, holding a pretty bag. Seeing Xi Xinxin's exposed shoulder, she blushed and said, "Xinxin~ These are cookies I made for you. Eat them while they're hot. I'm off now~"

She ruffled Xu Chacha's hair: "Thank you."

The soundproofing in this dormitory wasn't very good. Xi Xinxin was happily eating cookies after putting on her long dress and pajamas when she suddenly heard something break next door.

If she remembered correctly, her neighbor was Bai Tianrao.

Thinking about Bai Tianrao's condition that morning, Xi Xinxin was a little worried, so she knocked on her door.

Bai Tianrao drove very fast; her condition was even worse than in the morning, and the room lights were off.

Boom!

Another deafening clap of thunder.

Bai Tianrao suddenly covered her ears with both hands. Her hands, which were opening the door, lost their support, and she lost her balance, falling into Xi Xinxin's arms.

Xi Xinxin sighed and gently stroked her head: "It's okay, everything's okay." Xi Xinxin glanced around Bai Tianrao's dormitory without turning on the lights. In the dim environment, she seemed to have accidentally broken a glass. Xi Xinxin asked again: "Do you want to come to my room?"

Xi Xinxin had a pleasant, refreshing fragrance about her, and Bai Tianrao unconsciously put her arm around her waist and slowly nodded. It wasn't until Xi Xinxin brought the hot water to her that she slowly came to her senses.

"I'm sorry, I've been a little afraid of thunder since I was little, but I've actually overcome it. However, I was really scared today." Bai Tianrao said with a wry smile.

"Then why aren't the lights on?"

"Huh? Didn't the host say that it's not advisable to use electricity?"

"Pfft, it's okay to leave the light on for a while."

Bai Tianrao touched her nose somewhat awkwardly, took a small sip of hot water, and felt much warmer: "I'm sorry to have bothered you, I'll go back now."

"Wait a minute." Xi Xinxin took the cookies. "These were made by Xu Chacha. Would you like to try some? She's really good at cooking."

"Of course, there's this too." Xi Xinxin took out her phone, opened the file that Guan Jing had sent her, and started playing it.

Boom!

Another deafening clap of thunder.

But at this moment, Bai Tianrao's attention was entirely focused on the humming music playing on her phone. It was the one she remembered. It was the humming that cleansed her sleepless nights every day!

She jumped up and down excitedly, holding her phone: "Xi Xinxin, what happened! What happened?!"

Xi Xinxin recounted the whole story without embellishing anything. At this point, Bai Tianrao would surely believe what she said.

"Why did that Brother Guan do that? I even praised him so much in the interview before." Bai Tianrao clenched her fist angrily, stuffed a cookie into her mouth and started eating. "No wonder his words were so strange, he was using someone else's identity. That's too much! He's just getting something for nothing!"

Xi Xinxin shrugged: "I don't know what he's thinking either, but if you want to find Jing, come to my shop."

The two chatted for a long time, and the atmosphere was very warm and pleasant.

It was already very late. Bai Tianrao looked at the torrential rain and constant thunder outside, then looked at the bed and stammered, "Xi Xinxin, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Xi Xinxin didn't mind any of that at all, and patted the bed: "Come on!"

With a click, Xu Chacha turned off the gas, packed up the egg pancakes in the pan, and the fragrant aroma immediately filled the room.

The juicer finished its work, and Xu Chacha took a sip of the sweet soy milk and nodded in satisfaction.

The pan-fried buns are ready too. She bought them from the market a few days ago, and luckily there's a refrigerator in her dorm to store them. She started frying them today.

Today's food was perfect again.

Xu Chacha knocked on the door with a packaged bag in her hand.

"Xinxin~ I made it for you..."

"……breakfast…"

The one who opened the door was Bai Tianrao!

Bai Tianrao, unaware of what was happening, cheerfully greeted Xu Chacha: "Hi! Xu Chacha, wow, it smells so good! Are you here to bring breakfast to Xi Xinxin? Your cooking is amazing! The cookies you made yesterday were delicious too! They were fantastic!"

"Huh?" Xu Chacha was stunned.

Seeing that Xi Xinxin, who came out next, was still yawning, he pulled up the shoulder straps of his pajamas a little more.

Xu Chacha: "Huh?"

Today is the last day of dance practice. Yu Shuwen felt that Xu Chacha's aura was particularly terrifying, like the final demon had finally appeared and was about to crush everyone.

Their aura was exceptionally oppressive, as if they had returned to the vicious atmosphere of their first argument during a chat. There was a sense of certainty, of ruthlessness and invincibility.

She didn't make a single mistake in the dance, and they kept pushing her to practice until the last day, saying they had to give her a good performance!

The dance teacher was infected by this spirit and said, "Yes, yes, that's it! This dance has to be so powerful! It's going to make those you hate pay!"

You better tell me clearly who you're going to make a scene about!!!
