Chapter 33 The puppy’s tail doesn’t even wag!

The moment the music started, Xia Linxing felt that the whole world had become quiet.

His body instinctively moved to the rhythm. When the first note flowed from his lips, he suddenly found the feeling of practicing again and again behind Shen Sibai in the practice room.

Raise your hands, turn around, jump——

Muscle memory allowed him to complete the movement perfectly.

I didn't forget the moves, and I didn't sing out of tune.

Although when it came to the part of interacting with the camera, Xia Linxing still avoided the camera's gaze and blushed uncontrollably, but he still danced the entire theme song completely without any mistakes.

As the last note fell, Xia Linxing struck an ending pose, his chest heaving violently.

"Pa pa pa..." Applause rang out in the room.

Xia Linxing retracted his action, panting and bowed again to the instructors.

"Very good." Jiang Wen picked up the microphone. "To be honest, Lin Xing, you've surprised me a little bit."

"I originally thought you chose to sing and play the guitar on your first stage because you weren't good at dancing, but I didn't expect you to do such a good job dancing this time."

Although it can't be said to be perfect, the movements are basically in place, the rhythm is not messy, and it has reached the passing line.

Compared to those trainees who made mistakes in the moves, remembered the moves incorrectly, or even forgot the moves, Xia Linxing at least jumped down smoothly and without any mistakes.

"Although the breath is still a little unstable..." Ji Qingwan also commented, "But the pitch is still stable."

"Congratulations, then..."

Xie Tinglan, who had been silent the whole time, picked up the microphone and glanced down at the ratings given by the other mentors. "Your overall rating for the theme song assessment is - B!"

"So, you're still in Class B!"

Xia Linxing's eyes lit up.

At first he thought that he just had to do his best and be worthy of his efforts, but now after hearing the announced ratings, he still felt sincerely happy and satisfied with himself!

Although it looked like his rating hadn't changed, Xia Linxing knew that the reason he had received a B grade on his first stage was simply because his performance was better, and he had managed to get there by cheating. But now, he had firmly remained in Class B thanks to his genuine singing and dancing abilities.

This is already a huge improvement for Xia Linxing, a complete amateur who has never had any related training before.

So he smiled happily, with two deep dimples on his cheeks, and bowed 90 degrees to Xie Tinglan and others, "Thank you, teachers!"

Xia Linxing almost skipped and jumped out of the examination classroom.

"It's cute, isn't it?"

Ji Qingwan glanced at the cheerful figure and couldn't help but share with Xie Tinglan beside him: "He's so happy just by getting a rating, jumping around like a little kid..."

Xie Tinglan also curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and only after Xia Linxing's back disappeared behind the door did he slowly withdraw his gaze, "Yeah..."

He also saw Xia Linxing's efforts during this period.

At first, he did think that Xia Linxing was clinging to Shen Sibai for some purpose, but in the next few days of (secret) observation, Xie Tinglan discovered that: Xia Linxing was really clinging to Shen Sibai, but she was also really practicing.

But what surprised him even more was that Shen Sibai, who was pestered by Xia Linxing, did not show any annoyance at all. Instead, he taught more seriously than the dance teacher invited by the program team.

So now, Xie Tinglan really couldn't understand what Xia Linxing was thinking...

…

The puzzling Xia Linxing is happily accepting the praise from System 999.

"Baby, you're really awesome!"

"She learned to dance in such a short time! And she dances so well!"

System 999 was making a lot of noises and giving him a malfunction, while praising Xia Linxing profusely.

"You are the most powerful host!"

"No, not really~~" Xia Linxing was so embarrassed by System 999's praise that she waved her hands sheepishly, her dimples slightly sunken as she said modestly, "I just completed my task as a trainee. I still have one task to complete..."

Xia Linxing never forgot the ultimate purpose of pestering Shen Sibai to learn the theme song, but - to make Shen Sibai spend all his time and energy on him, and not have enough time to practice his own singing and dancing!

Judging from the proportion of time Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai spent together in the past few days, as well as the total time Shen Sibai spent teaching Xia Linxing, Xia Linxing was full of confidence and felt that his mission this time was quite successful!

Therefore, their battle is not over yet! His mission will only be truly completed after Shen Sibai's theme song assessment rating is released!

Since the theme song assessment was conducted in reverse order from Class F to Class A, it would take some time for Shen Sibai to take his turn. Xia Linxing simply found an empty corner near the assessment classroom and quietly "planted" himself there.

He wants to know the result at the first scene!

"Xia Linxing?"

Xia Linxing had just finished "planting" himself when he heard a familiar voice from above his head. He looked up.

The person who spoke was Ding Shaoyuan, a trainee who shared a dormitory with him.

At this moment, he was looking down at Xia Linxing, who was squatting on the ground in a small heap. Because of the backlight, Xia Linxing could not see his expression clearly. He could only hear him ask in an intriguing tone: "What are you doing here?"

He turned his head and looked around, "There are no cameras around here?"

A question mark popped up in Xia Linxing’s head: “?” What does this have to do with the camera?

Ding Shaoyuan didn't seem to need Xia Linxing's answer and continued, "Is your theme song assessment over?"

Xia Linxing knew the answer to this question! So he nodded honestly: "It's over."

"What's your rating?" Ding Shaoyuan asked impatiently.

"It's still B." Xia Linxing still answered honestly.

Not sure if it was his illusion, but Xia Linxing felt as if he saw Ding Shaoyuan's face twist for a moment. Speaking of which, Xia Linxing suddenly realized that Ding Shaoyuan's first stage rating seemed to be only a C.

Because he made a mistake in his positioning on the stage and almost bumped into a trainee in the same group, affecting others, he was the only one in their group who was rated C.

"Congratulations..." Ding Shaoyuan returned to normal, and his tone sounded quite happy for Xia Linxing. "Then why are you squatting here..." He glanced at the examination classroom, as if he had thought of something. "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Yeah." Xia Linxing nodded obediently, "I'm waiting for Shen Sibai."

"Really..." Ding Shaoyuan's tone started to become a little strange again: "Then your relationship is really good..."

"Then you wait patiently, I'll go back to the dormitory first..."

Xia Linxing waved to him and watched him walk away. Then, confused, he asked System 999, "999, what do you think he's here for?"

System 999 was also confused: "I don't know..."

When Yiren Yitong was puzzled, Shen Sibai had already walked out of the examination classroom.

Xia Linxing's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his arms and waved fiercely at Chen Sibai, "Chen Sibai, Chen Sibai! Here, here!"

Shen Sibai looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xia Linxing standing in the corner, waving at him enthusiastically with sparkling eyes, jumping and skipping.

Like a lively puppy.

He couldn't help but smile a little and walked towards the lively puppy.

"Chen Sibai, Chen Sibai..." The lively puppy came over, wagging its tail. "What's your rating for the theme song assessment?"

Xia Linxing looked at Shen Sibai eagerly, just waiting for him to say an answer of "B" or even a lower level.

So Xia Linxing cares about me so much?

Thinking of this, Shen Sibai smiled at Xia Linxing and said, "I'm still rated A."

Don't worry, you didn't drag me down...

But after he said that, Xia Xiaogou's tail, which was wagging happily, suddenly stopped.
