Jiang Siyu believed that her dancing skills were better than Liu Huanyi's, so she didn't spend much time rehearsing.
With the flattery from Luo Yu and Zhao Xinzi, she naturally thought that it was okay not to practice.
Seeing Liu Huanyi at school, Jiang Siyu said sarcastically, "Liu Huanyi, are you ready for your show? We are all looking forward to it."
Luo Yu echoed, "That's right, we are all looking forward to it. Can you tell us a little bit? I have also asked students from other classes to wait and watch your performance. Now the whole grade, no, the whole school knows that you are going to perform, our expectations are off the charts!"
"Oh, so what?" Liu Huanyi left without caring about the sourness in their words.
Jiang Siyu stared at her back, "Liu Huanyi, I want you to embarrass yourself in front of the whole school."
No, it was not enough to just embarrass herself in front of the whole school. It would be best if Huo Yuli could also see Liu Huanyi lose to her.
To this end, Jiang Siyu persuaded Huo Yuli to come to the school to watch her performance on the day of the performance.
Huo Yuli was so annoyed by her that he had no choice but to agree.
On the day of the school anniversary, all the performers gathered backstage. Liu Huanyi, carrying his performance clothes, bumped into Jiang Siyu head-on.
Jiang Siyu specially rented a ballet skirt inlaid with crystals. She originally wanted to have one inlaid with diamonds, but the rental price of a diamond skirt would be more than ten times more expensive.
She had to settle for the next best thing and choose crystal.
This is enough to surpass Liu Huanyi.
Jiang Siyu looked up and down at Liu Huanyi's clothes and sneered, "No way? Even if you want to be a jerk, you shouldn't come to perform in just a T-shirt and jeans."
Liu Huanyi also laughed.
"Poor students have more stationery."
"you--!"
Jiang Siyu glared at her and wanted to retort, but was persuaded to leave by Zhao Xinzi who came rushing over.
"Siyu, Huo Yuli is here. Stop talking nonsense with her. Go find Huo Yuli right away."
Yes, catching Huo Yuli is the important thing.
But when Jiang Siyu left, Huo Yuli disappeared again.
After Liu Huanyi changed his clothes and left the dressing room, he turned around and bumped into a pair of deep eyes.
"Liu Huanyi, why didn't you tell me about the bet between you and Jiang Siyu?"
If he hadn't heard the students excitedly guessing who would win and lose, he wouldn't have known about betting.
Liu Huanyi raised his eyebrows unhappily, "Why should I tell you?"
"Don't you know Siyu is a great ballet dancer? You will definitely lose if you make a bet with her." Huo Yuli took a step forward, with an inexplicable worry in his thick eyebrows, "I can help you cancel the bet. At least, you won't lose too badly."
He knew that Liu Huanyi was strong-willed, and if she lost to Jiang Siyu in public, she would probably not be able to bear it.
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary. You haven't even seen my performance yet, so why do you think I will lose?"
Huo Yuli was speechless. Before he could explain, Liu Huanyi said, "Master Huo, please don't be so self-indulgent as to think that this is for my own good. In my opinion, you are simply looking down on me. Open your eyes and watch my show carefully. Perhaps the person you should persuade is Jiang Siyu."
Liu Huanyi avoided Huo Yuli and left angrily, gritting his teeth secretly.
Damn Huo Yuli, he thought she was going to lose to Jiang Siyu without even looking at her. He'd better prepare a knife and be ready to look at her with new eyes.
Huo Yuli was speechless, his eyes following her back as she walked away.
He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have come to her so impulsively.
This made her angry again.
By the time Jiang Siyu found Huo Yuli, Liu Huanyi had already left.
"Yu Li, why are you standing here instead of accompanying me to put on makeup?" Jiang Siyu took Huo Yu Li's arm and acted coquettishly, turning around in front of him. Her skirt covered with crystals looked like a blooming flower.
“Does it look good?”
Huo Yuli didn't have any thoughts at all and just nodded lightly.
"nice."
"Yuli!" Jiang Siyu pouted in dissatisfaction, wanting him to coax her with a few words, but Huo Yuli pushed her away and said that he had to wait at his seat first.
Well, Jiang Siyu comforted herself that Huo Yuli wanted to go and see her performance earlier.
"The next program is the ballet Swan Lake, performed by Jiang Siyu."
Jiang Siyu walked onto the stage confidently and danced gracefully to the music. As soon as the dance ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
The other performers could only stand around backstage, and they couldn't help but admire Jiang Siyu's dancing moves.
"It's so beautiful! Isn't it better than that of a professional dancer?"
"It's over. Someone is going to be embarrassed."
Someone with a curious mind knew about the bet between Jiang Siyu and Liu Huanyi and stole a glance at Liu Huanyi's expression.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Huanyi didn't even look at the stage. She seemed... in a daze?
Liu Huanyi stared at the floor, the only thing on his mind was what flight number his elder brother and mother were on.
She was afraid that she would not be able to pick him up at the airport, so she arranged for Wei Zhou or Xing Zhao to pick him up.
"It's time to grade! Let's see how many points the judges give."
Everyone stared at her, and Jiang Siyu nervously clutched her sleeves.
The judges nodded to each other and gave the score of 95 in unison.
The host excitedly announced: "95 points! The highest score so far this evening has appeared! 95 points! Just to remind everyone, the highest score of the previous programs was only 88."
Jiang Siyu covered her chest and bowed. As soon as she stepped off the stage, she was surrounded by Luo Yu and Zhao Xinzi.
"Siyu, you dance so beautifully. I think you're going to become a goddess tonight."
Zhao Xinzi praised him, not wanting to be outdone: "You can get 95 points with just one jump. I think Liu Huanyi can't get 90 points even if he breaks his legs! You're definitely going to win."
"Of course. I've practiced ballet for so many years. If I can't even beat her, then wouldn't it be all in vain?"
Jiang Siyu raised her chin and shook her head proudly, "Where is Huo Yuli? I want to go find him."
"I've already shown it to you. It's in the first row of section D, very close to the stage. He must have wanted to see your performance clearly."
Jiang Siyu felt sweet in her heart. She put on her coat and went to find Huo Yuli.
Huo Yuli stood out in the crowd. Jiang Siyu saw him at the first sight and pinched her voice to ask the person next to Huo Yuli to move aside. She wanted to sit with Huo Yuli.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Siyu couldn't wait to ask, "Yu Li, did I dance well just now?"
"nice."
Huo Yuli answered quickly. Jiang Siyu smiled with satisfaction and continued to ask questions.
"Which part of my dance do you think is the best?"
Huo Yuli was stunned by the question. To be honest, he didn't pay any attention to Jiang Siyu when she was dancing just now.
Huo Shu sent him the details of Kid, and he was focused on cracking the software.
When I came to my senses, Jiang Siyu had already finished her performance.
“Every part is good.”
Huo Yuli's perfunctory attitude was obvious, but Jiang Siyu didn't care and kept pestering Huo Yuli for praise.
"Then praise me. I need encouragement."
Jiang Siyu's coquettish voice attracted a lot of attention. Huo Yuli pulled his hand back awkwardly, "Stop it."
