To take care of his younger brother and sister, whom...

Chapter 54 Gang Fight?

Inside the spacious hall, the two sides were clearly divided: one was a strong force, and the other was a gentle force. Chen Yi was the leader of the gentle force, while the strong force was naturally the team led by her friend Zhao Fei.

First, let's explain the adjectives "strong" and "feminine." All the friends Zhao Fei invited were male, and they were all big guys. The tallest ones were obviously basketball players, standing at around two meters tall, with their hard muscles showing through their half-open chests. The rest either had tattoos or were dressed in streetwear. There was also a group of four people whose bodies were constantly swaying to the music in the room, indicating that they were a street dance group.

On the other hand, Chen Yi's team consisted of over a dozen people, 99% of whom were girls. There were only three or four boys, who were dressed as waiters. To put it bluntly, Chen Yi's team didn't have a single decent-looking boy. Li Jia was the only helper Chen Yi had brought in to participate in the dance competition.

"Hehe, Brother Li... it all depends on you in a bit. As soon as my friends heard that I was going to have a dance competition with that brat Zhao Fei's friends, they all made excuses not to come. Luckily you came, Brother Li, otherwise I would have lost completely today." Chen Yi said somewhat unsure of herself as she looked at the dozen or so tall and strong boys on the other side.

"You and Zhao Fei share the same birthday?" Li Jia didn't seem to care about the other woman's disdainful look and continued chatting with Chen Yi.

“Yes, we were born on the same day, month, and year, and we grew up together. However, her parents doted on her more, spending time chatting and eating with her every day.” Chen Yi’s face darkened again when she mentioned her parents, but then she became cheerful again.

"When the birthday dance party starts later, there will be several dance teachers that Zhao Fei and I invited as judges, so Brother Li, you will definitely win, right?" Chen Yi had a confidence in Li Jia that she didn't know where it came from. Maybe it was because when he first saved her, she developed some inexplicable trust in Li Jia.

After the two groups chatted amongst themselves for a while, a group of middle-aged people finally entered through the door. There were two women and one man. The women were around thirty years old, and the man was a little younger. The spacious hall immediately quieted down, and the music was temporarily turned off because of their arrival.

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Huang, Teacher Fan, welcome." Zhao Fei and Chen Yi stepped forward and welcomed the three people into the house. There were many long tables in the hall, with some food on them. In the middle of the hall was a huge open space. On one side of the space, directly opposite the door, there were three tables with drinks and snacks on them. Behind each table was an expensive high-backed chair.

The three teachers sat down in their chairs with haughty expressions. The male teacher in the middle glanced at everyone in the room and said, "Don't waste time, let's begin!"

Today's dance party is arranged to start with a dance competition to liven things up, and the formal dance party will only begin after the dance competition is over. This dance competition started two years ago, and the person who proposed it was naturally Zhao Fei. The first year, Zhao Fei lost badly, but Chen Yi's friends were attacked by unknown people afterwards, and some of them were even beaten and hospitalized. As a result, no one was willing to help Chen Yi the second year, and the conflict between Chen Yi and Zhao Fei slowly began to intensify.

"Alright! Ah Guang, you guys go first!" Zhao Fei looked at Li Jia, who was standing to the side in a suit, with disdain, then called out the four boys who were doing street dance, and stood aside herself, looking at Chen Yi with a hint of schadenfreude.

Looking at their stance, Li Jia chuckled inwardly. "This is clearly a case of the many bullying the few. In a one-on-one fight, they'd take on me alone, but in a group brawl, I'd beat them all! These little brats are truly shameless." She gently patted Chen Yi's shoulder. "Don't worry, I've got you covered."

The three teachers sitting in the chairs looked expressionlessly at the four people who were already standing in the open space and ready. Then they signaled to start. The music started, a typical HIPHOP dance track. As soon as the group started their movements, everyone immediately applauded. The group was obviously doing robot dance, a style of street dance that relies on joint movement. The group was clearly a veteran of street dance. Their stage presence, movements, and expressions were impeccable. However, their eyes were filled with a strong sense of fighting spirit and disdain when they looked at Li Jia.

After watching the dance of several people, Chen Yi glanced at Li Jia and her heart began to pound. One of the rules of the dance competition was that you had to dance the same dance as your opponent. Li Jia was dressed in a sharp suit, which was clearly not the attire for street dance. Thinking of this, Chen Yi's palms started to sweat. However, after seeing the deep smile in Li Jia's eyes, Chen Yi's heart gradually calmed down. The image of Li Jia holding her in her arms reappeared in her mind, full of confidence and smiles, just like now.

As the song ended, several dancers beckoned to Li Jia with their fingers, making provocative gestures. Zhao Fei, standing on the other side, was extremely smug, looking at Li Jia with deep pity in her eyes, and occasionally shaking her head at Li Jia and Chen Yi.

These street dancers were the champions of the B City Street Dance Competition and sixth place in the National Street Dance Competition. But Li Jia next to Chen Yi didn't look like she could dance at all. "With your physique, you're more suited to being a gigolo!" she muttered to herself, then turned and walked in front of the teachers.

“Teachers, it seems like Xiaoyi doesn’t have anyone to compete this year. I think we should just declare her the loser so we can start the dance party earlier. What do you think?” Zhao Fei’s suggestion made the three teachers somewhat tempted to agree, because based on their years of experience, they really couldn’t find a single person who danced street dance. Although that refined young man was dressed in a sharp suit, the idea of ​​someone dancing street dance in a suit was obviously absurd in their eyes.

"It's my turn. Just play any song, as long as it's dance music." Before the other teachers could speak, Li Jia had already taken off her suit jacket and handed it to Chen Yi. She walked to the middle of the open space and said calmly.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to do street dance? And not ballroom dancing?" The teacher didn't speak, but Zhao Fei, who was standing in front of the teacher, turned around and said in a strange voice. Zhao Fei's words caused the team members she had invited to burst into laughter, and a few of them even let out shrill whistles.

"Let's begin!" Li Jia ignored Zhao Fei's words and the reactions of the people on the sidelines. Instead, she calmly spoke to the sound engineer in charge of the music again. The sound engineer looked up and saw the meaning in Zhao Fei's eyes. He then casually took out a light music waltz and played it.

As soon as the music started, the audience burst into laughter, while Chen Yi stormed up to the sound engineer, fuming, "What are you doing? Who uses this kind of music for street dance?"

Before the sound engineer could explain, the laughter in the room stopped. Chen Yi turned around in surprise and immediately became a little dazed.
