Chapter 27 Clues

"You ate my chicken leg and you still want to kick me out? Jiang Cha, why aren't you so arrogant outside?"

Jiang Cha pouted. What else could she do?

There was still a lot of fruit candies left in her bag that she had brought today. The people in the dance club were surprisingly afraid of Chi Jun and didn't buy her tricks at all.

Unable to get close to the enemy, Jiang Cha can only defeat the enemy with strength!

She took a big bite of the chicken thigh. "So I have to eat more. I have to eat my fill first so I can have the strength to defeat the enemy, right?"

Jiang Cha looked very cute when she ate. Maybe it was because her mouth had a small capacity. She didn't take a big bite, but when she chewed the food, the flesh on her face bulged, just like the hamsters storing food that Huo Jingchuan had seen in the wild when he was on a mission.

Huo Jingchuan smiled and said, "Okay, next time I have something delicious, I'll bring it to you."

"Will this be too much trouble for you?"

Putting aside other things, although they are both canteens, the food in the military district canteen is much better than that in the art troupe.

"I see you're enjoying your meal, you don't look like you're afraid of bothering me at all!"

Jiang Cha finally understood that Huo Jingchuan's coldness was only on the surface.

In fact, he could poison the enemy to death with just one word.

But Jiang Cha was no longer afraid of him.

What's so scary about a person who only asks her to cook when he's angry?

Jiang Cha felt that his ability to get ahead of others was increasing day by day.

"Didn't you bring that to my lips yourself?"

If she doesn't eat it, how disrespectful to him would that be?

Jiang Cha finished two chicken legs in one breath with peace of mind, and then she was troubled by the remaining rice in her bowl.

Huo Jingchuan buried his head in his food. He saw Jiang Cha's intention, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Cha hesitated for a long time, and between wasting the food and dying of stuffing, he chose to pack it up.

She put the lid of the lunch box back on. She could take the leftover food home and heat it up in the evening.

Huo Jingchuan ate very quickly. He finished a full lunch box in just a few bites.

The lid of the ginger tea lunch box had just been closed when Huo Jingchuan reached out.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Cha seemed frightened by his actions. Huo Jingchuan said confidently, "You ate both of my chicken legs. What's wrong with me eating a bite of your rice?"

As Huo Jingchuan spoke, he reopened the lunch box that Jiang Cha had just closed, and then put the food in her bowl into his own.

“This is what I…” ate!

Before Jiang Cha could finish his words, Huo Jingchuan had already started eating.

"What's wrong with you?"

He asked even though he knew the answer.

Jiang Cha shook his head, "Nothing."

She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment.

In her two lifetimes, no one has ever eaten her leftovers.

This is the first time.

Jiang Cha sat opposite Huo Jingchuan, looking at him quietly, with a light in her eyes that reflected Huo Jingchuan's appearance brightly.

Huo Jingchuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, "When you're done eating, just go and get busy. Why are you always staring at me?"

Jiang Cha smiled with her eyes curved, "Brother, you are so nice!"

Huo Jingchuan was surprised by her sudden praise, so he gave her two chicken legs and ate a mouthful of her leftovers. Is this good?

This girl is so gullible. Will she be tricked into taking away a chicken leg in the future?

A horn of alert suddenly sounded in Huo Jingchuan's head.

If you think about it carefully, the reason why Jiang Cha thinks Huo Jingye is so nice is because Huo Jingye brought her delicious food for two consecutive days.

!

Huo Jingchuan's face turned cold. "From now on, if you want anything to eat or want, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

Ginger tea: “?”

How did the topic suddenly jump to this? Before Jiang Cha could understand, Huo Jingchuan packed up her lunch box.

"I've taken the lunch box back. You have to remember what I said, do you hear me?"

Jiang Cha shrank suddenly, "Yeah, I remember it!"

Huo Jingchuan looked back every few steps as he walked. Although he was just a stepbrother, he was worried about his father.

Jiang Cha spent the whole day in the dance club without making any friends.

But Jiang Cha was not depressed.

There is always a reason for everything. She and Chi Jun had never met before, so there was no reason for him to be so hostile to her as soon as they met.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cha didn't rush home after get off work.

She deliberately took her time packing her things, and after Chi Jun left, she followed him not far away.

This is the time when the art troupe gets off work.

She walked in the crowd and followed Chi Jun, and it didn't seem too obvious.

However, Chi Jun didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.

He went downstairs and went to the singing department.

Jiang Cha pretended to look for something in her bag and leaned against the wall in a position that would not affect traffic, and she could just see what was happening inside the singing club from a distance.

She saw Chi Jun half-squatting in front of Bai Shuyao, helping her up from her seat. He was as docile as a golden retriever with no attack power. How could he be so aggressive when facing her?

Sure enough, there is a reason for everything.

Jiang Cha turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Knowing the reason why Chi Jun targeted her, Jiang Cha was not anxious at all.

The next step she needed to do was to find out Chi Jun's family background. When she was at the theater that morning, she only vaguely heard that Chi Jun came from a wealthy family.

But she still hadn't figured out what his family background was like.

Although Uncle Huo was the division commander of the military region, no matter how much he loved her mother, she was only his stepdaughter after all, and she could not cause trouble for Uncle Huo.

The next morning, Jiang Cha took a cleansing cream and a Sanbai cream to the art troupe.

The art troupe requires reporting at 8:00 a.m.

When Jiang Cha arrived at 7:30, there were only two or three people in the dance studio.

Before she entered, people inside were talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

As soon as she appeared at the door, the voices of those people chatting stopped abruptly.

Jiang Cha didn't pay any special attention to them.

After she put her things in her locker, she started stretching her legs.

These are the most basic things, and you can't tell any dancing skills.

After taking a look at Jiang Cha, they didn't find anything special, so they lowered their voices and whispered to each other as they sat around.

From 8 to 9 o'clock, you should do warm-up exercises and some simple basic training.

After nine o'clock, we will start practicing the dance for the consolation performance.

They were dancing an excerpt from the ballet The Red Detachment of Women.

Jiang Cha had never danced this dance with them before. Suddenly, someone was added to the team. Even if they didn't say it, Jiang Cha could feel the impatience in those people's eyes.

Cai Yulan didn't rush Jiang Cha to join in the dance immediately. She first explained the basic dance steps of the selection to Jiang Cha alone, and then let Jiang Cha watch them dance twice before trying to let Jiang Cha fit in.

Jiang Cha was smart and a quick learner. Moreover, she had previously seen the complete version of The Red Detachment of Women performed live by the art troupe in Beijing. She knew all the dances. After thinking twice about the segment she was going to perform this time, she was already 80% sure of it.

There was no panic as expected. Jiang Cha integrated well into the performance, with standard dance steps and precise positioning. She even performed the Daoti Purple Gold Crown and Palm-Back Knife dances that incorporated difficult flipping movements, as well as the double-sword dance and pointe lunge that combined opera and ballet, to perfection.

Chi Jun originally wanted to seize the opportunity to ridicule Jiang Cha in public.

He never expected that Jiang Cha didn't give him this opportunity at all. He was so angry that he made a mistake in his dance and almost bumped into the person standing next to him.

Instead, Cai Yulan was extremely surprised.

She originally thought that Jiang Cha was just a vase who got in through Teacher Huo's relationship, and most of the exaggerated personal information she wrote was fake.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cha danced better than she imagined.

This is just the first time.

After a long time of lunch break, Chi Jun still couldn't find any fault with Jiang Cha. His face looked visibly ugly, and he looked like a powder keg. No one dared to provoke him for fear of being scolded.

It was a very hot day and one would be sweating just by standing still, not to mention these people. They had been dancing for the whole morning and their clothes had gotten wet countless times.

Before going to eat, everyone habitually went to the faucet along the wall of the art troupe office building on the first floor to wash their faces and hands.

Jiang Cha, carrying a cross-body bag, stood in front of the faucet, slowly took out a box of facial cleansing cream, and started using it in front of everyone.

Her skin is so fair and tender that it is enviable. If it weren't for Chi Jun's face, someone would have been unable to resist and wanted to ask her about the secret recipe of ginger tea maintenance.

People who dance naturally want to be beautiful in every way so that they can be eye-catching when standing on the stage.

Jiang Cha didn't say anything, just used the cleansing cream silently. After washing with clean water, she slowly took out a small mirror from her bag and applied a thin layer of Sanbai cream on her face.

Standing in the sun, her face seemed to be crystal clear and translucent, making people so envious that they wanted to tear off her skin and stick it on their own face.

Jiang Cha saw the eager eyes of the person standing next to her.

But she remained calm. After applying the Sanbai ointment, she put the things back into her bag and went to the cafeteria to get food without saying a word.

She was still sitting alone at a table. As soon as Jiang Cha sat down, Huo Jingchuan came again.

Jiang Cha blinked, and Huo Jingchuan opened the lunch box, which was filled with more than half of the braised pork.

Braised pork versus stir-fried pork with green peppers, braised eggplant versus stir-fried bok choy.

This meal in the ginger tea bowl was a complete loss.

“Big Brother!”

Jiang Cha blinked and stared at Huo Jingchuan's lunch box, her eyes fixed on it.

Huo Jingchuan was amused by her greedy look.

"Look at what you have accomplished."

Huo Jingchuan said this, but without any hesitation, he picked up a large piece of meat and was about to put it into the bowl of ginger tea.

Jiang Cha suddenly said, "I don't eat fatty meat, thank you."

Huo Jingchuan paused with his hand holding the meat. This little girl, she even ordered it?

Oh!

She is really interesting.
