Recently, Tao Yating discovered that Zhang Zhimin, who is in second place, is gradually increasing her number of fans, which has made her, who is currently in first place, feel a great sense of crisis.
After some investigation, it was discovered that the pairing of Zhang Zhimin and Jiang Yixing had attracted a lot of fans.
Tao Yating recalled that the comments about Jiang Yixing on Weibo were gradually becoming more positive, and she secretly regretted that if she had known that Jiang Yixing had such a high level of attention, she should have gotten closer to Jiang Yixing earlier.
Tao Yating's eyes sparkled, and a look of unexpected surprise appeared on her face. She thought to herself: Fortunately, it's not too late now.
"Oh, it's a teaching assistant!"
Tao Yating walked towards Jiang Yixing and intimately took her arm. Her sudden intimacy made Jiang Yixing feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhimin stood silently between the two of them, and with a slight effort of his arm, he pushed Tao Yating aside.
Heh, you think she can't see through your little scheme? Isn't it just because Jiang Yixing has been in control of the vlog filming that you're trying to get close to her?
Zhang Zhimin's slightly narrowed eyes held a hint of disdain; he simply couldn't stand her hypocritical attitude.
Tao Yating was pushed aside, and her eyes glanced at Zhang Zhimin. Their gazes clashed in the air, as if an electric current was passing through them.
However, Tao Yating remained outwardly enthusiastic and charming, turning to Jiang Yixing, "Teaching assistant, I heard that you used to practice dance. Could you give me some pointers on my dancing?"
Zhang Zhimin scoffed lightly; their excuses were all exactly the same.
Jiang Yixing couldn't just push Tao Yating away; after all, he was going to watch Zhang Zhimin whether he was alone or with someone else.
She nodded. "No problem."
Jiang Yixing looked at Zhang Zhimin and Tao Yating. Since both of them said there was a problem with the dance, could it be that there was something wrong with the dance?
Jiang Yixing said with a hint of concern, "There's no need to rush with the dance. If you have any problems, tell me and I'll go talk to the teacher."
The teaching assistants live with the students, but the mentors can only come at specific times. The four mentors tutor one hundred students together, which is not enough to give them all the attention and ensure that every student's questions are answered.
Jiang Yixing acted as an intermediary, collecting the students' questions and relaying them to the relevant teachers, which saved a lot of time and energy.
Jiang Yixing reached out and patted the two girls on the shoulder, her eyes crinkling, "Alright, let's begin, I'll watch."
Tao Yating was taken aback. Jiang Yixing's eyes were smiling, and it didn't seem fake; he seemed to be sincere.
Tao Yating's gaze swept over the flashing camera in the corner, which was still running. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she stepped forward. "Then I'll go first."
Tao Yating has a soft and sweet appearance and a gentle voice, but only the sharpness in her eyes reveals her ambition.
Jiang Yixing pressed her finger to her lips, suppressing a smile. She didn't dislike people like that.
Zhang Zhimin and Jiang Yixing stood together, with Tao Yating in front. Her brown curly hair swayed with her movements, and she always managed to smile at just the right moment. The dynamic melody paired with her sweet smile was truly impactful.
Jiang Yixing faced Tao Yating's ever-present charm head-on; even though Tao Yating wasn't wearing full makeup, she was still incredibly captivating.
As the dance ended, Jiang Yixing smiled and clapped his hands, and applause immediately followed the end of the music.
Tao Yating looked at Shang Jiangyi with admiration; her eyes were clear and transparent, as if they contained shimmering water. "Very good."
Tao Yating was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling with her breath.
"She truly lives up to her reputation as an all-rounder in singing and dancing. Her voice is beautiful and her dance moves are captivating. I'm almost smitten."
Jiang Yixing was generous with his praise for others.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhimin cautiously moved even closer to Jiang Yixing.
Tao Yating smiled broadly, as if she had heard a very important compliment. Her eyes slowly lit up, and she rushed towards Jiang Yixing from a few steps away.
Jiang Yixing opened her mouth slightly, but before she could even express her surprise, she saw Tao Yating open her arms and gently hug Jiang Yixing.
The girl's fragrance wafted through the air, and their embrace lasted only a moment before they parted. Tao Yating withdrew her arms and said, "Thank you, teaching assistant."
Behind her, Zhang Zhimin clenched the plastic bottle in her hand, crushing it. Her eyes met Tao Yating's once again.
Zhang Zhimin twitched the corners of her mouth and saw Tao Yating's big, fluttering eyes look at her. Zhang Zhimin instantly interpreted that look as a provocation.
Zhang Zhimin unzipped his jacket and tossed it to Jiang Yixing, saying, "Yixing, hold this for me."
Jiang Yixing was stunned for a moment. Isn't it cold...?
Zhang Zhimin wore only a black, form-fitting undershirt under her coat. As the music started, her hair whipped through the air like a black whip lashing at the hearts of the audience.
Her movements were clean, crisp, and fluid, and her facial expression management had improved considerably with deliberate practice.
Today, with the beat of the drums in the street photography, Zhang Zhimin accurately captures the audience's gaze, sending out a sharp look, like the most perfect queen in her territory.
Jiang Yixing clapped again, giving a thumbs-up with both hands, "Super awesome!"
Her tone when speaking to Zhang Zhimin became much more familiar, with a hint of teasing and admiration in her voice.
Zhang Zhimin's dance heightened Tao Yating's vigilance; Zhang Zhimin's dancing skills had improved again, making him a formidable opponent.
Jiang Yixing's gaze swept over Tao Yating before she reluctantly clapped her hands in encouragement.
Both of them showed off their dancing skills, and Jiang Yixing couldn't see anything wrong with them at all. In fact, she felt that the two of them seemed to be putting in a lot of effort today for some reason.
"You two shouldn't underestimate yourselves. Both of you dance very well. Alright, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."
Jiang Yixing concluded, and took the lead towards the door.
The two girls behind him immediately followed, one on each side, standing close to Jiang Yixing.
As they passed through the doorway, Zhang Zhimin and Tao Yating both moved closer to Jiang Yixing. Jiang Yixing estimated the width of the door and figured the three of them couldn't possibly pass through.
So she stepped over the threshold first, leaving only the two of them walking side by side.
Before Zhang Zhimin and Tao Yating could figure out what was going on, they walked out shoulder to shoulder. When their shoulders touched, their faces darkened slightly.
Zhang Zhimin reacted quickly, jumping back to Jiang Yixing's side once more. Tao Yating, with a slight smile on her lips, moved just as quickly, appearing on Jiang Yixing's other side in the next second.
Jiang Yixing was sandwiched between the two, feeling like the bacon filling in a loaf of toast, and they squeezed their way back to the dormitory.
Jiang Yixing said goodbye to the two and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Humans were indeed a heat source; the three of them had huddled together all the way, and even the cold wind could hardly drive away their heat.
