Zhou Zhizhi smiled at Bai Yalan, nodded, and said, "That's thoughtful."
He accepted it gracefully. Not far away, Lu Qing'er muttered softly, "Flatterer!"
The distance was a bit far, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it. Zhou Yuzhi didn't hear it, but just smiled and reminded them, "Hey, practice hard, this time you will improve a lot compared to last time."
Of course, she said the last sentence while looking at Bai Yalan, her eyes full of approval.
She finished speaking and disappeared. Bai Yalan heard Lu Qing'er's murmur but didn't bother to pay attention. Only Doctor Lin had sharp ears and turned around to settle the score with Lu Qing'er, but was stopped by Bai Yalan, "Forget it, there's no need. Let the guilt fade away."
"What kind of person is that?" Doctor Lin said indignantly.
Lu Qing'er wasn't afraid of her either. She glanced at Bai Yalan and Doctor Lin, then said to the female military doctor beside her, half jokingly and half seriously, "Dancing really requires a good figure. Some people don't have a good waist-to-hip ratio, so they won't look that good dancing. What's the point of just being flexible? It's not all about the movements."
The female military doctor also got Bai Yalan's medicated oil. As the saying goes, those who eat from others are soft-hearted, and those who take from others are reluctant to take. Besides, when it comes to waist-to-hip ratio, these female military doctors who are busy with work and missions all year round have no time to maintain a good waist-to-hip ratio. Lu Qing'er spoke without thinking and included them in it.
So the female doctor frowned, gave her a disapproving look, and then walked away. Lu Qing'er was left standing there, so angry she almost wanted to curse. She was such a short-sighted person, she was bought off with just a bottle of medicated oil. Just wait and see, when she becomes the lead dancer, they'll see if they're convinced.
After the break, the flexibility training continued. Lu Qing'er practiced with all her might, chest out, head high, and standing on tiptoe. She felt she had the best figure and the best looks, especially when Zhou Qizhi glanced over, she worked even harder, determined to outdo Bai Yalan.
As for the others, Lu Qing'er's eyes kept turning from time to time, and she would secretly glance around, then look at them with disdain. They were not within her comparison range at all.
Bai Yalan held her breath, paying full attention to Zhou Yizhi's instructions, silently training without paying any attention to anything else. The training was still very difficult and grueling, and soon everyone's backs were drenched in sweat, and their faces showed signs of fatigue. Bai Yalan said nothing, holding back her energy and forcing herself to maintain a good mental state.
Dance is also an excellent reflection and challenge for dancers’ spirit and demeanor.
Zhou Qizhi watched them train and had a plan in mind. She used a bamboo ruler to carefully adjust the height of each person's kick. "Lower your waist three inches!"
When the bamboo ruler touched Bai Yalan's leg, he nodded approvingly: "Not bad, the height and strength are sufficient."
When it was Lu Qing'er's turn, the ruler gently tapped her leg: "Lift it a little higher, and be careful not to shake your body."
Lu Qing'er's face darkened. Why did Bai Yalan get the compliments? They were almost the same height, just a little different at most. She was not convinced in her heart, but she had to obey obediently.
Doctor Lin was watching from the side and was amused. Zhou Yuzhi hit him on the leg with a ruler and said, "What are you laughing at? Pay attention to your center!"
Next came the lower back exercise, with Zhou Zhizhi instructing: "Keep your back straight and your arms extended."
Bai Yalan bent steadily, her figure as graceful as a crescent moon. Among the seven female military doctors, her performance was outstanding. Zhou Yuzhi showed approval and glanced at Lu Qing'er. She was also quite good, but she seemed to be holding back a lot of energy, obsessed with performance, which had lost her naturalness. Zhou Yuzhi looked away without leaving a trace, and a plan began to form in his mind.
In the following training, Bai Yalan's performance became more and more outstanding.
Zhou Zhizhi would often demonstrate the movements once, and the female military doctors behind him would follow suit.
