After returning from the photo shoot in the afternoon, Luo Shixi followed Sangsang and the others back to the practice room. He had spent dozens of hours in this classroom today.
Luo Shixi's physical condition was not good to begin with, and he was exhausted after the whole day, and he was feeling sleepy.
He counted on his fingers and realized that he hadn't slept for almost thirty hours.
After the song was over, they took a break.
Not only the four of them were here, almost all of Class F were here, practicing day and night. They were inspired by what happened this afternoon, and they were determined to let outsiders see that Class F was not a waste.
Sweat dripped down his sharp jawline. Sang Huaiyan wiped it away with his hand, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his gray pupils.
He looked at Luo Shixi, who was squatting on the ground and was too lazy to stand up, and asked him, "Would you like some water?"
As he said this, he unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it over.
Sangsang yelled at the side: "Sang Huaiyan, you are so mean. Why didn't you ever pass me water? I want to drink too."
Hearing this, Sang Huaiyan glanced at Sang Sang with his light-colored eyes, with a hint of contempt in his extremely pale eyes: "Don't you have hands? Take it yourself."
"You biased bastard." Sangsang stood up cursing, took a bottle of water and drank it.
Luo Shixi took the water handed to him by Sang Huaiyan and took a sip.
He muttered, "I'm so tired."
Hearing this, Sang Sang looked at Luo Shixi and said, "Xiao Xi, why don't you go to bed first? You are very tired today."
Luo Shixi was yawning, and almost bit his tongue when he heard this.
"Really?!"
After he finished speaking in an excited tone, he realized that he was too happy. He quickly coughed and restrained himself, pretending to be reserved: "Ahem, I mean, I am indeed a little tired. I will go back and rest first."
"Wait a minute." Sangsang thought of something and hurriedly called out to Luo Shixi who was flying towards the door.
Luo Shixi's heart skipped a beat and he looked back.
Sangsang said: "Xiaoxi, I suddenly remembered that I left my coat in the next door classroom 6803. If you have time, please help me get it. Thank you very much."
So that was what happened. He was scared to death.
Luo Shixi breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'll bring it back to your dormitory!"
Seeing the three people nod, Luo Shixi hurriedly said goodbye, fearing that they would change their minds if he was a second late.
The moment he closed the door of the practice room, Luo Shixi could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He walked towards classroom 6803, humming a song, as if he didn't recognize anyone.
He’s free!
===
The lights were still on in the corridor, and trainees wearing colorful class uniforms were walking in the corridor in groups of three or four. Some were singing in a low voice, while others couldn't stand the high-intensity rhythm and huddled in the corner crying.
When Luo Shixi walked to classroom 6803, he actually saw Jiang Yan from inside and couldn't help but stop pushing the door open.
He thought Jiang Yan couldn't dance, but he didn't expect that she could actually dance, and she looked very good and professional. Because this song is a relatively cheerful and lively song, Jiang Yan's aura was restrained a lot when dancing, becoming calm and no longer oppressive.
There was even a slight smile on his face, and he looked like a sunny and kind young man.
After the dance, Jiang Yan regained his expressionless face. He turned around to get his bottle of mineral water, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, his Adam's apple rolled and sweat flowed down.
While wiping the sweat off his face, he glanced out the window and met Luo Shixi's eyes.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yan asked.
Luo Shixi grinned widely, revealing his little canine teeth: "I came here to get Sangsang's coat."
As he spoke, he walked in and when he looked back, he saw Sangsang's clothes hanging on the closet.
Jiang Yan said "hmm", wiped the sweat off his face and stood still, watching Luo Shixi's movements.
He casually put the towel on his shoulders, now wearing only a black vest, revealing his wheat-colored skin and smooth muscle lines on his arms, which made Luo Shixi envious. Even though he was sweating, he didn't look embarrassed, on the contrary, he looked more wild and uninhibited.
When will he be able to build up a nice body of muscles?
Luo Shixi pinched his arm.
Noticing Luo Shixi's actions, Jiang Yan sneered.
Being laughed at, Luo Shixi curled his lips: "What are you laughing at? I don't have any muscles because I haven't trained my arms. I still have abdominal muscles!"
Seeing that he cared about this matter, Jiang Yan threw the towel into his schoolbag and raised his hands above his head in surrender: "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have laughed at you."
He admitted his mistake so readily that Luo Shixi didn't know what to say.
"I admit my mistake, don't you accept it? Just say it's okay." Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows.
Luo Shixi looked at him speechlessly. How could one force someone to say “it doesn’t matter”?
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I forgive you! But I didn't expect that you could dance, YY, that's amazing." Luo Shixi praised sincerely.
He really didn't expect Jiang Yan to dance so beautifully, even the strength was just right.
Jiang Yan was praised and smiled.
He remembered that his friend's dancing skills didn't seem to be very good, so he asked Luo Shixi: "How's your dancing?"
"Not very good." Luo Shixi scratched his head, feeling a little discouraged.
He was forced to learn for an entire afternoon, but his skills were still mediocre.
"Let me watch you dance and help you correct your movements." Jiang Yan said as he turned on the speaker.
"Eh? No, wait a minute!" Luo Shixi was confused.
Didn’t he come here to get Sangsang’s coat and go back to soak his feet and sleep?
Why are you dancing again?
Luo Shixi was dumbfounded by Jiang Yan's decisive action.
Jiang Yan thought he was nervous and embarrassed to dance in front of him, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, I'm not laughing at you."
After he finished speaking, he took the coat from Luo Shixi's arms.
"How dare you laugh at me! Look carefully, I'm not that bad at dancing." Luo Shixi bared his teeth at him.
Just as the prelude ended, Luo Shixi started dancing to the rhythm.
Halfway through the dance, he suddenly thought, something is not right, the question is whether Jiang Yanchao will laugh at him?
Shouldn't the question be why did he do it again?!
But seeing Jiang Yan's serious expression at this time, Luo Shixi felt embarrassed to stop and say he would not dance anymore, so he had to finish the dance seriously.
"This is my level." Luo Shixi was sweating after dancing, and he said with some embarrassment.
It seemed that his dance was not the same as the one Jiang Yan had just danced.
Jiang Yan groaned for a while: "...worse than I thought."
"Hey, what are you talking about!" Luo Shixi gritted his teeth and pretended to hit him.
Jiang Yan smiled and grabbed Luo Shixi's fist: "You can imagine the difference. If you don't have a foundation, you can only be like this. Just practice more."
As he spoke, he asked Luo Shixi to stand in front of him: "I'll correct a few of your movements."
Before Luo Shixi could say a few more words to Jiang Yan, the other party stood behind him and touched his waist lightly.
Luo Shixi's whole body trembled violently and he almost jumped up.
"Hiss~"
There was a sound of gasping.
Jiang Yan touched his red chin, his face twisted in pain. He even heard the sound of his upper and lower teeth knocking together.
Luo Shixi said nervously: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Let me see if anything is wrong?"
Jiang Yan held his chin with his hand and didn't move. No matter how Luo Shixi pulled, he didn't let go. After a while, he seemed to have recovered. He took a breath and said, "You really hate me."
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything just now, otherwise I would have bitten my tongue.
Luo Shixi muttered softly: "Who told you to touch my waist suddenly."
“…”
Jiang Yan: "Don't make it sound like I'm taking advantage of you. Wasn't I just trying to teach you the moves?"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Luo Shixi felt guilty, so he smiled and moved over, asking Jiang Yan to take his hand away.
Jiang Yan let go of his hand this time. Luo Shixi saw his red chin and felt even more embarrassed: "Then I'll blow it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."
Jiang Yan snorted and was about to say it was childish, but when he lowered his head, he met Luo Shixi's clear and bright eyes, who was looking at him with a little apology.
For some reason, the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly couldn't come out. Jiang Yan was silent for a while, and then nodded in Luo Shixi's worried eyes: "Help me blow it."
Luo Shixi stood on tiptoe and blew carefully on Jiang Yan's chin a few times. Looking at the red marks left on the other's skin, he felt guilty.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the boy in front of him. He could only see his eyelashes fluttering and the gentle air blowing on his face. He reached out to support Luo Shixi, who was swaying from side to side because of standing on tiptoe, and asked him to stand in front of him.
"Does it still hurt?" Luo Shixi asked Jiang Yan in a low voice.
Jiang Yan looked at him for a long while before shaking his head: "It's okay. Let me make it clear first, this is because I have a strong recovery ability, not because of your boasting that it will get better. You believe that kind of trick to fool children."
He looked disdainful.
Luo Shixi was stunned for a moment. After listening to Jiang Yan's monologue, he spoke carefully: "I didn't say these... What are you thinking about?"
What kind of things did Jiang Yan imagine?
Luo Shixi was very confused.
"Cough!" Jiang Yan coughed to cover up his guilt.
I don’t know if it was Luo Shixi’s illusion, but a suspicious red color vaguely appeared on the other person’s face.
Before Luo Shixi could continue thinking, Jiang Yan interrupted him: "Okay, it's my fault. I didn't expect you to be so sensitive here. I should have said so before touching you."
"It's all my fault." Luo Shixi shook his head. He felt the hand on his waist and tried to relax, looking at himself in the mirror.
He was a little shorter than Jiang Yan and his body was smaller. When he was guided by the other party, it was as if he was half-huggled, and the distance between them was very close.
However, neither of them, who were immersed in teaching, noticed this.
Jiang Yan: "I'll teach you a few more times, you better learn it quickly, don't embarrass me later."
Luo Shixi gritted his teeth. He shouldn't expect anything good to come out of the other person's mouth: "What do you mean by shame? You just teach me. If I can't learn, I lose!"
"Okay, that's what you said. If you can't do it, you can call me dad."
"Just wait, my great son!"
In a corner that Luo Shixi couldn't see, Jiang Yan had a smile on his face. The hostility brought by the eyebrow stud could not dispel the softness in the corners of his eyes.
===
With a "click", the incandescent light above my head lit up.
Luo Shixi pulled at the coat covering his face, took it off, rubbed his eyes, sat up, covered his mouth and yawned loudly.
"Fuck, you slept in the practice room all night!"
The person who turned on the light was stunned by what he saw. He thought he was very diligent by coming to the practice room at five in the morning, but he never expected that there was someone who stayed in the practice room all night and did not go back.
Luo Shixi sat in the corner blankly, holding his coat in his hands, his eyes confused, obviously he hadn't recovered yet. There were messy red marks on his cheeks, which were accidentally pressed when he slept.
He stupidly repeated the man's question: "I slept in the practice room... all night?!"
What's going on?
How did he fall asleep in the practice room?
Luo Shixi tried hard to recall what happened last night and finally remembered.
He didn't know what was wrong with his brain last night, he fell for Jiang Yan's provocation, and then practiced the theme song for several hours under the other party's guidance, and finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.
What is he doing?!
Is it that the bed doesn’t smell good anymore, or is it that the foot bath is uncomfortable?
Luo Shixi was extremely angry and looked for the culprit everywhere: "Where is Jiang Yan?"
Let him come out and die!
The trainee who came in said, "You're the only one here."
Luo Shixi touched his face: "Thank you, I saw it."
He yawned, slowly got up from the ground, and patted his cheek to wake himself up. Luo Shixi subconsciously touched his pocket, but found nothing, then he remembered that all his candies were confiscated.
He slowly retracted his hand and thought with his not-so-bright brain, never mind, it would probably be okay if he didn't eat it.
"I'm going back to the next class." He said hello to the trainees who arrived early and left.
===
With less than 24 hours left until the theme song evaluation on the afternoon of the third day, they had their second and final dance class.
Jiang Jing is not here to teach this time, she is here to inspect the teaching results.
After learning on the first day, the results have to be tested on the second day. This kind of pressure and pace is not something that most people can bear. No wonder so many people had emotional breakdowns last night, and many of them were even from Class A.
Jiang Jing didn't waste time talking to anyone when she arrived. She just played the music and said, "Everyone, form groups of four and dance for me."
As soon as the words came out, everyone started to make a commotion.
The nervousness of being randomly checked by the teacher immediately came over me, especially since there were only four people dancing with me. I couldn't blend in and fill in the gaps. If I couldn't do it, it really would have happened, and the instructor would have seen it at a glance.
Jiang Jing was particularly serious today. There was no smile on her face. She watched their dance moves carefully with a stern face, not letting go of even the smallest flaw. If they made a mistake, they would do it again, without exception.
"Luo Shixi, Sang Huaiyan, Chen Yiming and Sangsang, the four of you come here." Jiang Jing called them.
Luo Shixi stood up from the wooden floor, walked to the middle of the classroom, and attracted everyone's attention.
The prelude of the music gradually began. Luo Shixi took a deep breath and put all his energy into the matter at hand. He swayed his hanging right arm gently to the beat, counting the beats. Then, before the first movement came out, he naturally adjusted the expression on his face and smiled towards the front.
Jiang Jing, who was directly struck by Luo Shixi's smile, paused for a moment, and her expression softened a little. But then, she saw something and her eyes turned cold again.
After the dance ended, Luo Shixi stood there to calm his breathing, closed his eyes, and wiped away all the sweat that flowed down his cheeks.
"Luo Shixi." Jiang Jing said.
Luo Shixi immediately opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Jing, feeling a little nervous and expectant.
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "You are great and have made great progress. But the lines are not smooth enough, and the details are not complete enough. You need to keep working on it."
Jiang Jing was still very surprised to see Luo Shixi's dance. After all, Luo Shixi was still a novice dancer yesterday, but now he can dance a complete dance, which is a rapid improvement. Unfortunately, his basic skills are there, and he still lacks.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
Although he had no intention of working hard and just wanted to sit back and relax, being praised was always a happy thing. The smile on Luo Shixi's face widened a little, and it was more eye-catching than the business smile just now.
Jiang Jing said "hmm" and went to talk about Sang Sang and Sang Huaiyan. These two people have a good foundation and are willing to work hard, so the results are naturally very good. Jiang Jing even said that they can catch up with the good seedlings in Class C.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over with envy and excitement.
According to Instructor Jiang, the students in Class F were actually at the level of Class C. This was something they could not even imagine. Naturally, they secretly thought that they had to work harder to surpass the four of them!
"However," Jiang Jing changed the subject and said in a light voice, "Chen Yiming, what's wrong with you?"
The smile on Luo Shixi's lips immediately disappeared due to fright.
Chen Yiming lowered his head. He knew that he danced badly and didn’t dare to look at the disappointed eyes of the other three people: “…I’m sorry, teacher.”
Jiang Jing frowned: "Don't play the music for now, let's play it again."
Jiang Jing's original intention was to let Chen Yiming do it himself, but after hearing what she said, Luo Shixi stood back in his seat and assumed the starting position.
Seeing this, Sangsang and Sang Huaiyan also stood back and stood with Chen Yiming.
Jiang Jing was a little surprised, but didn't say anything. She just asked them to shout the beat and dance again while she watched from the front.
In the middle of the performance, Jiang Jing called for a stop.
"Stop, Chen Yiming, you're wrong again." She turned her back to the crowd and repeated the same movements. "You should swing your hand out like this, pause for two beats, then pull it back, and then continue with the half-squat movement. Be quick and don't drag the beat! Do you understand?"
Chen Yiming nodded: "I understand, teacher."
Luo Shixi glanced at him worriedly.
He could sense the other party's confusion; he was completely different from the Chen Yiming who had practiced with ease before.
"Once you know it, start over again."
The four started over.
Jiang Jing frowned: "No, Chen Yiming, you are slow again, come again!"
"You're too quick to withdraw your hands. Come again!"
"Why is there no connecting action in the middle? Do it again!"
The atmosphere in the classroom gradually became depressing and no one dared to make a sound.
Those who had already finished dancing were fine, but those who hadn't finished dancing were so nervous that they couldn't help themselves. When had they ever seen Jiang Jing look so serious?
Starting over again and again made Chen Yiming's heart sink more and more. The curious or mocking looks from the other students were all on his back, burning with pain like hot wax that could cut people.
He gritted his teeth and insisted on not showing his weakness, but after Jiang Jing called for a stop again, he lost all strength in his body and didn't want to move anymore.
Jiang Jing looked at Chen Yiming, who was standing with his head down, not saying anything or moving, and frowned. Then she saw He Yu standing at the back of the classroom.
I don’t know when the other party will come.
"Why are you so nervous?"
A leisurely voice came from behind, and the trainees then saw He Yu and made way for him to come over.
"Hey, Mr. He."
"Hello, PD."
He Yu stood behind Luo Shixi and Chen Yiming. After hearing what Luo Shixi said, he glanced at his face and turned sideways to ask Chen Yiming.
His tone was his usual lazy one, as if he was talking casually, which didn't make people feel nervous.
Chen Yiming shook his head: "Teacher He, I... I can't adjust my mindset."
He Yu listened to this, his expression remained unchanged, with a smile on his lips: "You have been training from morning to early morning, and only rested for two hours. With such high-intensity training, I think even Luo Shixi can be trained, you should be better, there will be no problem with the completion."
Luo Shixi nodded repeatedly.
Yes, that's right! Brother Yiming's performance was very good when he practiced in private.
But when he was halfway through nodding his head he realized something was wrong and braked in time.
What does "even Luo Shixi can be trained" mean? ?
Is he that bad?
Luo Shixi gritted his teeth secretly.
He Yu had his back to Luo Shixi, so naturally he couldn't see his expression, but he could clearly feel the other person's gaze that could burn through him.
He Yu raised his eyebrows calmly and looked at Chen Yiming seriously.
"You have to know that the stage is life for a singer or dancer. A small mistake on stage can lead to the end of your career. You are just facing a test from the mentor, but you are so nervous that you make mistakes frequently. What will you do when you are on a bigger stage with more audiences?"
He Yu looked through the information of the 108 contestants participating in the competition one by one, and naturally knew Chen Yiming's situation.
What's more, the other party was placed in Class F because he made mistakes due to being too nervous on the first stage.
Chen Yiming pursed his lips: "I'm sorry."
He Yu shook his head: "You are not sorry for me, but for all the people who hope you will succeed. I hope you can think this through."
Luo Shixi was about to speak when he suddenly felt panicky. He reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest to calm his breathing.
"You guys dance again. Chen Yiming, find your form again."
Chen Yiming pursed his lips and said, "Yes, Mr. He."
The three of them re-positioned themselves and prepared to start over.
Only Luo Shixi stood there motionless.
The whole building was equipped with central air conditioning, but He Yu had just come out of the classroom, where the temperature was extremely high. He was wearing a lot of clothes, so he was inevitably a little hot. He Yu tugged at his collar and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, revealing his good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist.
"Luo Shixi, are you still going to dance?" He Yu put his suit jacket on his arm and asked Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi stood there, and after a while he reacted before slowly responding "jump". He squinted his eyes and walked over with weak steps, feeling that he had no strength in his body.
It could be hypoglycemia.
He didn't eat well and his heavy exercise caused the glucose level in his blood to be too low.
Luo Shixi took a deep breath, listening to his heartbeat getting faster and faster, and the black spots appearing in front of his eyes.
Oops, all his candies were confiscated.
As he got closer, He Yu immediately noticed that something was wrong with Luo Shixi; his face was too pale.
"Luo Shixi, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Shixi shook his head, but it turned out that it would have been fine if he hadn't shaken his head. As he did, he felt even more dizzy. His head was buzzing, and his legs went weak and he fell forward.
He closed his eyes and resigned himself to the agony of falling face first onto the ground.
Unexpectedly, I was embraced by someone.
An embrace with a faint smell of tobacco mixed with the flavor of lemon.
