Ji Qian was completely unaware of the lively scene unfolding before her. Just before going on stage, she confirmed with Xu Qi again:

Are you sure you want to jump like you did back then?

"Yeah, what else can we do?"

Xu Qi stated quite frankly, "That was the closest I've ever come to dancing."

Knowing all too well how uncoordinated Xu Qi was, Ji Qian remained silent for a moment before finally sighing resignedly:

"Sigh, then I'll listen to you."

Don't spoil her so much!

Okay, okay, you can spoil him then.

To be honest, I'm quite curious, what kind of dance could make my sister Qian avoid it so much?

[Hey, is that classic performance finally going to make a comeback?]

Holy crap, a rainbow-themed master has appeared!

[Is this rainbow color scheme a staff-specific bullet comment style?]

[This tone...it must be Sister Qian's manager, right?]

It has to be said that Xu Qi is quite imposing in terms of appearance alone, no wonder he was once a man who carved out a bloody path in the entertainment industry based solely on his looks.

Although Xu Qi's "cool and aloof" persona has recently suffered a devastating blow, he remains a top-tier handsome man in the industry as long as he doesn't speak.

[Ahhhh, he's here! My mute groom!]

What a handsome man! It's a pity he has a mouth.

[Xu Qi: Are you being polite?]

[No wonder I've been a fan of this man for five years just because of his looks, he's got something special.]

Wait, why is everyone praising Xu Qi? Isn't my sister Qian beautiful?!

[What we admire about Qian Jie is her free-spirited and unconventional soul, unlike their vulgarity.]

That's right, physical beauty will fade, but an interesting soul lives on.

To put it bluntly, you guys just don't want to compliment Qian Jie's looks, right?

I can't help it, I always feel that after praising her, my love for her isn't as pure anymore.

To be honest, though, Sister Qian is quite pretty.

Yes, with that aloof, fairy-like face, who would have guessed that inside lies a rough and tough guy?

Everyone, please be polite. My sister Qian is only beautiful for a short while; she'll soon reveal her true colors.

[You didn't let her off the hook either.]

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ji Qian took Xu Qi's hand and pulled him in front of her.

As the distance between the two rapidly closed, Ji Qian heard gasps rising and falling around them.

However, Ji Qian couldn't worry about that now. She stared intently into Xu Qi's eyes and asked again to confirm:

Are you sure you want to do this?

"I'm sure."

Hearing Xu Qi's confident answer, Ji Qian no longer hesitated. She suddenly bent down and hugged Xu Qi tightly around the waist.

"Are you ready?" Ji Qian asked sternly, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Ready!"

As Xu Qi answered, he closed his eyes, his face displaying a complex expression that was a mixture of excitement and fear, with a hint of pleasure mixed with the fear.

Upon hearing Xu Qi's answer, Ji Qian took a step forward and firmly planted her feet in a horse stance. Then, she took a deep breath, placed her hands on Xu Qi's waist, and lifted him up high!

Before anyone around her could react to what was happening, Ji Qian began the next step.

With her hands moving in and out of place, she managed to spin Xu Qi around!

Xu Qi was like an out-of-control windmill, spinning rapidly in the air.

The visual impact was so strong and the difficulty of the movements so high that those around them were momentarily speechless.

Han Mengyao, who was closest to them, had stopped smiling and was staring blankly at the absurd yet wonderful scene before her.

After spinning around for about twenty times, Ji Qian finally slowed down. At this point, Xu Qi's face had turned pale, and he looked like he was about to die.

Director Liu thought the performance was about to end, so he hurriedly asked the assistant director to notify the medical team to prepare for emergency treatment.

Before the assistant director could even run out of the banquet hall, Ji Qian suddenly threw Xu Qi high into the air, and then turned and ran up the stairs.

Just as Xu Qi fell back to about the same height as the stairs, Ji Qian leaped down the stairs and accurately grabbed Xu Qi's hand.

Ji Qian, holding Xu Qi's hand, quickly did several somersaults in the air before landing steadily on the ground in a gymnastic downhill pose.

Throughout the performance, Xu Qi seemed like a soulless paper doll, at Ji's mercy.

Until the very moment of landing, Xu Qicai seemed to suddenly come back to life, putting on a typical business smile.

Director Liu was initially worried that Xu Qi would faint at any moment, given his deathly pale face.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qi was not only in good spirits, but even had the energy to bow and thank the staff who were watching.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

You... call this dance?!

Tell me, did you start dancing?

[A waving dance?]

Are all orphanages this strict with their education these days?

[If I hadn't known that Xu Qi initiated this, I would have called the police.]

Now it seems that Ji Qian is much more normal than Xu Qi.

[This performance received the following scores: Dance: 0, Gymnastics: 100, Acrobatics: ]

You two are wasting your talents here. If all else fails, go participate in the Olympics.

The world has finally become the madness I've always dreamed of.

[No wonder they sent you two to solicit funding; you couldn't get any funding after this scene!]

Is that called a sponsorship? That's called a performance fee!!!

"So, are we ready to start the feast?"

Before Xu Qi could catch his breath, Ji Qian dragged him and dashed to the long table where the food was laid out.
