Due to tuition fees, Ye Ying joined a talent show. She was initially prepared to take the prize money and get eliminated in the first round. Unexpectedly, she became a huge hit and, for some reason...
Ye Ying didn't really understand why He Xizhou was willing to help him. After all, he didn't look like someone who liked to meddle in other people's business.
Besides, the learning time for the theme song was a total of five days, and every moment was very precious. Ye Ying never liked to trouble others with his own affairs, so he didn't actually plan to look for He Xizhou at the beginning.
But after practice the next day, his dancing was still a mess. After struggling for a while, his unwillingness to admit defeat finally prevailed. Ye Ying took two bottles of ice water and walked across the corridor to the practice room of Class A.
At nine o'clock in the evening, all the students in Class A were there. They were not surprised to see Ye Ying. After all, the program team did not stipulate that students could not go to other classes, nor did they say that they could not ask students with higher levels to help practice.
He Xizhou was sitting cross-legged in front of the floor-length mirror to rest. When he saw Ye Ying coming over and handing him a bottle of water, he curled his lips and took it: "Thanks. Bring me a bottle of orange juice next time."
This attitude made Ye Ying feel a lot more relaxed. She nodded and said, "I'll remember it tomorrow."
He Xizhou pushed the ground with his hands and jumped up: "Come on, jump again for me to see."
He took two steps back, crossed his arms, tapped the water bottle with his right fingers, and stared at Ye Ying's movements in the mirror opposite. When the music ended, he nodded: "It's much more proficient than yesterday, but it's still far from the passing line."
He was gentle yesterday, but he was much more serious today. When he wasn't smiling, he looked very intimidating: "I will be very strict. I will not lower my standards just because you don't have a foundation. If you decide to learn from me, you must be mentally prepared."
Ye Ying nodded, her eyes were serious: "Okay."
The other students in the practice room couldn't help but look at the two people who were teaching and learning. No matter how smart Ye Ying was, it was useless. Basic skills could not be caught up in a day or two. Many low-level mistakes made the others frown. However, He Xizhou was very patient. He didn't get angry or angry. He pointed out Ye Ying's problems in a normal tone and then demonstrated to him personally.
Qi Rui couldn't help but ask Ming Yuechen: "Brother He has such a good temper? I thought he was the kind of arrogant person who would look down on the weak..."
Ming Yuechen: "You are right."
Qi Rui: “…”
Qi Rui: "But he is very good to Ye Ying?"
Ming Yuechen touched his chin and said, "Maybe I like her."
He Xizhou really likes Ye Ying.
Although he had no basic knowledge, Ye Ying's brain was really useful. On the one hand, it was reflected in his superb memory and comprehension ability, and on the other hand, it was reflected in his speed of correcting mistakes. He Xizhou found that whenever he pointed out a problem, Ye Ying would never make the same mistake again in subsequent practice. His brain was always operating rigorously and meticulously, and he would never allow himself to relax for a moment.
This is probably the type of student that all teachers admire the most. No wonder he got such an amazing score in the college entrance examination.
But this kind of highly concentrated training was undoubtedly very tiring. When Ye Ying relaxed and drank some water to rest, she found that there was no one in the practice room.
He checked the time and was surprised to find that it was already half past eleven.
The lights in the entire corridor were turned off, leaving only their practice room with light. Ye Ying immediately looked at He Xizhou and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time."
"It's okay. I won't sleep when I go back." He Xizhou didn't care much. "But let's stop here for today. If we continue to train, the muscle load will be too great and it will be bad for our health."
Ye Ying nodded, and then she realized that fatigue was coming like a tide, and her muscles were instantly sore that her legs were shaking even when she walked. He Xizhou laughed: "I thought you were not tired."
Ye Ying couldn't help but smile softly. Just as he was about to go back to the dormitory, He Xizhou called him, "Wait. You'd better do some stretching exercises, or you'll be in trouble tomorrow."
Stretching exercises?
Ye Ying hesitated for a moment, and He Xizhou sat on the ground and stretched his legs, straightened his back and knees, bent forward from the hips, stretched his arms forward and grabbed the ankles from the inside of his legs, and demonstrated to him: "Hold this position, relax after ten seconds, and then repeat."
He taught Ye Ying some easy-to-learn stretching exercises: "Do it every day after dancing. It can relieve muscle soreness and make your body lines smooth and beautiful. In this industry, body shape is very important. If you train yourself to have muscular muscles, you don't need to debut. It would be more appropriate to work as a coach in the gym."
Ye Ying wanted to laugh, but she held it back after coughing.
"Also, you need to work on your flexibility. Starting tomorrow, take time every day to do leg and shoulder presses, and do 100 frog jumps."
No matter how powerful He Xizhou was, he was essentially a student like everyone else. If other people heard him speak in such an imperative tone, they would probably feel unhappy, but Ye Ying's expression remained calm and she said, "Okay, I will."
He Xizhou looked at the boy's serious expression, and his expression gradually softened: "Go back. Have a good rest."

Although she did some stretching exercises, such high-intensity training was no joke. When the alarm rang the next morning, Ye Ying was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids.
But he still woke up within thirty seconds, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Li Jingfei also got up after Ye Ying to wash up. Xu Qiongzhi wanted to stay in bed, but she wanted to have breakfast with Ye Ying, so she also struggled to get up. The rest of the roommates saw this and thought, wow, class A and class B are getting up so early, what right do we have to sleep in!? So they also got up quickly.
The six people in the dormitory went to have breakfast together. The breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Dream Camp were all buffet style, with a very rich variety of dishes and balanced nutrition. Xu Qiongzhi looked small, but her appetite was amazing. She took two boiled eggs, a beef sandwich, a piece of buttered bread, three fried dumplings, and a small bowl of vegetable salad.
Roommate Fu Yulin was shocked: "How can you eat so much!"
Xu Qiongzhi grabbed another handful of tomatoes and retorted, "I'm still growing, so of course I have to eat more!"
He was only 174cm tall, which was not very tall among the boys, and he had a baby face, which made him look particularly small. Xu Qiongzhi took a full plate and sat down opposite Ye Ying, giving him a few small tomatoes: "Come and eat some, to supplement your vitamin C... Wait, why are you only eating so little!"
The other roommates came over with their plates and found that Ye Ying's breakfast was simple and bland: an egg, a piece of bread, a small bowl of vegetables, and that was it.
Luo Zihui looked at his overflowing plate and said, "Is this why you are so thin? I won't eat anymore. I want to lose weight!"
"You also need to eat properly to lose weight! Yingying, you eat too little!" Xu Qiongzhi said as she passed the sandwich from her plate to him, "Eat a piece of beef! Replenish your energy!"
Several other roommates also shared their breakfast with Ye Ying, and even Li Jingfei silently gave him a soup dumpling.
"Thank you," Ye Ying said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "but I really can't eat it."
In the past few years, he has been cooking for himself at home. Although he has good cooking skills, he often has no appetite when eating alone. In addition, the study workload is heavy and time is tight, so he always eats breakfast in a hurry. Over time, his stomach has become smaller due to hunger, and he can never eat much.
"Eat as much as you can," Luo Zihui said earnestly, "You practice dancing for more than ten hours every day. If you don't eat more, your body won't be able to keep up."
Everyone was kind-hearted, so Ye Ying obediently picked up her chopsticks and ate twice as much as usual. She practiced dancing for two hours before the feeling of fullness slowly subsided.
"Is it my illusion?" Xu Qiongzhi nudged Qiu Shuang with her elbow, "Yingying's movements seem to be much smoother today."
Qiu Shuang looked at the boy who had just finished dancing the theme song and was wiping his sweat while picking up a bottle of mineral water. He nodded and said, "It's indeed much better than yesterday. The movements are very standard and not so stiff anymore."
During the break, Xu Qiongzhi came to Ye Ying and praised her generously: "Yingying, you have made great progress! You danced very well today!"
"Thank you." Ye Ying felt a little relieved after receiving the affirmation. "Well... it's all thanks to He Xizhou's help."
Xu Qiongzhi didn't expect to hear this name. She blinked and said, "He Xizhou?"
Seeing Qiu Shuang also looking at him curiously, Ye Ying told him about He Xizhou teaching him to dance last night. Xu Qiongzhi was shocked and opened her mouth wide: "He actually teaches people! I thought he was too lazy to care about others."
Ye Ying didn't know what to say.
Although He Xizhou does have a personality, he doesn't seem to be the arrogant type.
Seeing Ye Ying's hesitation, Xu Qiongzhi immediately explained: "I'm not saying he's bad. It's just that He Xizhou has a nickname, have you heard of it?"
"I don't know." Ye Ying was also a little curious, "What's your name?"
Qiu Shuang: "He Xizhou, known as the walking king of drag in the underworld."
Ye Ying: “…”
"Some people also call him the King of Force." Qiu Shuang suppressed a laugh. "This name is quite famous and not a derogatory term. His fans also like to call him that."
The two began to share He Xizhou's gossip with Ye Ying with great interest.
This nickname first became popular because of a music creation program that He Xizhou participated in when he was 16 years old. The contestants were teenagers between 15 and 20 years old. They composed their own songs under the guidance of celebrity mentors and competed to decide the first, second and third prizes.
These participating kids were all newcomers who had not yet made their debut. They were extremely nervous and respectful in front of several big names in the industry. If the instructor pointed out something that was wrong, they would correct it immediately and would not dare to be negligent or slack in the slightest.
The only problem occurred when it came to He Xizhou.
His mentor was a music expert who had not only written several popular songs, but also taught at a top music school in China and was very prestigious in the music circle. He watched He Xizhou's original song and criticized him for being too sharp in lyrics and bad in style, and asked him to change it immediately.
He Xizhou had a good attitude at first and asked him how to change it. But after the instructor gave him some advice, he actually shook his head and said, "No. If I change it like this, it will lose its original flavor."
When had that great mentor ever been rejected in person, let alone by a sixteen-year-old kid? His expression immediately fell: "What do you mean by original? With your level, what original can you write? Just do as I say, and change it immediately!"
But whether He Xizhou was fearless or just had great talent and courage, he insisted on his idea until the song was completed.
The production team seemed to think this was a hot topic, and did not edit out the argument between He Xizhou and his mentor, Danniu, when the show was aired. The result was obvious, He Xizhou was scolded by netizens:
[Are all young people nowadays so crazy? ? It’s so rude to say “I won’t change” directly! ]
[I think there is nothing wrong with the problem pointed out by the instructor. This contestant is probably overconfident. Let's see what he can write in the end:)]
[He Xizhou? That's not surprising. He has done something similar when he participated in dance programs before. After all, his father is He Pingqiu, so of course he has the capital to look down on others.]
[This arrogant face is really uncomfortable. You are so awesome, why do you need a mentor? It’s really unfair for you to participate in the show :)]
Online comments were overwhelming, and He Xizhou was even scolded to the top of the hot search list, with keywords such as "crazy", "arrogant", and "arrogant", which almost ruined the goodwill of passers-by. Even in the final round of the competition, He Xizhou won the recognition and praise of several professional judges with his explosive on-site effects, and finally won the championship, but he was unable to completely change the tone of netizens.
[So what if he has some strength? Does being strong mean he can disrespect his seniors? I’m putting this on hold. This arrogant person will definitely fall in the future.]
But no one expected that a surprising reversal would follow.
Just one month after the show was aired, the great mentor was suddenly exposed for falsifying his academic qualifications. He had always claimed that he graduated from a top music school in Europe or the United States, but in fact he only had a college degree, and his major was material engineering, which had nothing to do with music.
Amidst all the question marks from netizens, it was revealed that several of Da Niu's original songs were plagiarized, and even the lyrics were bought. The evidence was irrefutable, and Da Niu was completely disgraced and soon disappeared from the music circle.
In contrast, He Xizhou became completely famous.
[This guy is awesome! I thought he was quite unique back then, and now it seems he is indeed amazing!]
[If He Xizhou had listened to someone else and changed his tune during the show, he probably wouldn’t have won the first prize. It seems that sometimes it’s important to stick to your own ideas.]
[I’m a fan! This little brother has such a cool personality! He’s handsome, cool, and talented. He definitely has a bright future!]
[One plus for being a fan. He Xizhou's personality is really rare in the circle, so why not just call him "The King of Arrogance" from now on (dog head.jpg)]
A joke made by a netizen finally came true. Later, even He Xizhou's fans liked to call him "the king of arrogance" and they no longer got angry when they saw someone calling him arrogant or crazy.
Because they know that He Xizhou’s arrogance is not about being arrogant and self-centered.
He has tremendous strength and capital.
