"Xiao Guang, the chopped chili peppers you make at home are amazing," Wu Yifan took a bite and couldn't help but praise, "I'm going to mix it with noodles tomorrow."
Seeing everyone enjoying the food, Ouyangguang felt warm in his heart. He recalled how his mother and Aunt He were busy preparing these specialties at home, and he felt that all the hard work was worth it.
"By the way, Xiaoguang," Jin Wenkui said while eating, "the end-of-month evaluation is coming soon. Are you ready?"
"Well, I'm ready." Ouyang Guang nodded, "I will practice hard these few days."
“Come on, Xiaoguang!” Park Chanyeol patted his shoulder.
The lively night passed quickly. After seeing his friends off, Ouyang Guang returned to his room and began to pack things for tomorrow's training.
He looked at the pear paste on the desk, thinking of Changan making it specially for him, and felt warm in his heart. He unscrewed the lid, scooped a drop into the cup, and poured hot water over it.
Watching the amber paste slowly dissolving in the water and emitting a faint pear fragrance, he felt full of strength.
From the next day, Ouyangguang was back to the intense training for classes. Every morning at 12:00, he got up on time and went to the practice room to practice his voice. Then there was dance training. He practiced the new dance moves over and over again until his clothes were soaked with sweat. In the afternoon, there was rap training. He faced the mirror and practiced pronunciation and rhythm repeatedly until his mouth was numb. In the evening, he also had to take time to study high school courses to prepare for the upcoming enrollment.
The days passed by in intense and fulfilling training, and the time passed in a blink of an eye. The day of the evaluation finally came.
On the day of the assessment, Ouyang Guang came to the practice room early to make final preparations. He changed into a clean dance costume, tied up his hair, and took a few deep breaths in front of the mirror. Although he was a little nervous, he was more looking forward to it.
The first evaluation item was rap. Ouyang Guang walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the judges. After that, he took a deep breath and began his performance. He chose a rap song with a strong sense of rhythm, with a clear and powerful voice and a very good grasp of the rhythm. After the performance, the judges nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
Next is the dance assessment. Ouyang Guang performed a modern choreography with smooth and graceful movements, full of power. Every move he made was precise and his expression was very devoted, completely immersed in the world of dance.
When the last note fell, the audience burst into warm applause. The judge smiled and said, "Ouyang Guang, your dance has improved a lot, and your movements are very contagious. You are the first in Class C."
Upon hearing the news, Ouyang Guang was excited and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
Finally, there was the vocal assessment. Ouyangguang chose a lyrical song, and his voice was gentle and emotional. His pitch was very accurate, and his breath was very stable, expressing the emotions of the song vividly. After the performance, the judge nodded and said, "Ouyangguang, your vocal performance has also improved a lot, and you won the third place in Class B."
Hearing this result, Ouyangguang couldn't believe his ears. He clenched his fists excitedly and bowed deeply to the judges.
After the assessment, the teachers gathered together to discuss. One teacher said, "Ouyangguang has made great progress this month, much better than last month."
Another teacher nodded: "Yes, he is much more relaxed than before, not so tense anymore, and more comfortable when performing."
"It seems that he has adapted to life here," the third teacher said with a smile, "he will definitely make greater progress in the future."
Ouyang Guang stood aside, listening to the teachers' comments, his heart filled with excitement. He thought of his persistence for so long, and the support of his family and friends, and felt that everything was worth it.
When we walked out of the evaluation room, Zhang Yixing and his friends were already waiting outside. When they saw Ouyang Guang coming out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Xiao Guang, how are you?" Zhang Yixing asked anxiously.
"Rap was promoted to Class C, dance got first place in Class C, and vocal music got third place in Class B!" Ouyang Guang said excitedly.
"Wow! That's great!" Everyone cheered and jumped around Ouyang Guang.
"I knew you could do it, Xiaoguang!" Kim Jong-in patted his back happily.
"That's great, let's celebrate tonight!" Park Chanyeol suggested.
"Okay!" everyone said in unison.
Ouyang Guang looked at his friends around him and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Spring has quietly arrived in Seoul, and the cherry trees outside the window are already full of pink flowers.
