When Zhou Linna heard Ji Cheng mention "Will-o'-the-Wisp" again, the song that almost ruined her reputation, she glanced at the people in the classroom.
Sure enough, he saw Mu Weiwei stretching her legs, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Xiaoqin scoffed at Ji Cheng's provocative words, "Lina was rushing to the radio show that day, it's not like she couldn't play, what's there to be proud of?"
“Fine, we were in a rush that day, but we’re not in a rush today.” Ji Cheng crossed his arms and stared directly at Zhou Linna, provocatively saying, “Then show us how to play it, and prove that you can play it.”
She was so scared that her hands were shaking like crazy, but she still had the nerve to say that she was in a hurry because she was doing a show, not because she couldn't play the instrument.
Upon hearing this, music teacher Ye Mei quickly changed the subject, "Alright, Lina is here today to be a backup dancer for the music video. Lina has invited her cousin from the Beijing Ballet to teach everyone how to rehearse, which is a rare opportunity for you all."
From that day on, Lina practiced "Will-o'-the-Wisp" at home every day, but she was simply not good enough to play such a difficult virtuoso piece.
The vice principal also chimed in, saying, "We might need to requisition the dance studio for rehearsals and filming soon. If you join us, you can rehearse and act in the music video. What a great opportunity!"
"Requisition the classroom?" Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu looked at the students in Class One and said.
"They have exams next month, and they don't have much time to practice to begin with. You've taken up the classroom; where are they supposed to practice?"
“If you don’t want to stay for rehearsal, then go home and practice,” Zhu Xiaoqin said smugly, standing next to Zhou Linna.
Now that Lina is the face of Yingcheng Middle School, everything is done with her requests as the priority.
"This is a dance classroom, not a music classroom, and certainly not your home, Zhou Linna. Why should you take it over as you please?"
Ji Cheng glared at the principal and teachers who treated Zhou Linna like a pampered princess, and felt a surge of anger.
"If you're so capable, why don't you sign with a record company like Lina? What are you doing just occupying space if you can't even do that?"
As Zhou Linna's best friend, Zhu Xiaoqin naturally did her best to support her.
The students in the dance class were furious. They had studied for two or three years for the art exam next month, and now at such a crucial time, they were being asked to give up their space, leaving them with nowhere to practice.
“My cousin Zheng Yuan is about to become the principal dancer of the Beijing Ballet. It’s an honor for you to teach her rehearsals. She’s going to perform abroad next month.”
Zhou Linna glanced arrogantly at the group of people in the dance class and said, "This kind of opportunity isn't something everyone gets."
The melody of her new song is about dreams. She needs a group of young dance students to accompany her while she sings and plays the guitar. The dance needs to be elegant and energetic, so a fusion of modern dance and ballet is the most suitable.
The company said that students from different schools could be selected, which would highlight youthful dreams and also serve as a promotional song for Yingcheng Middle School.
But these people are so ungrateful, they won't even take the chance they were given.
Just as she finished speaking, a young woman with a pure and gentle appearance entered the classroom and waved to Zhou Linna.
"Lina!"
"Sister Yuanyuan, you're here!" Zhou Linna warmly hugged the visitor and proudly introduced her to the people in the classroom.
"This is Zheng Yuan, the principal dancer of the Imperial Ballet Troupe who will soon be promoted. She will be going to study with the Royal Ballet in the UK next month. She was specially invited to teach everyone choreography. Not everyone has the opportunity to be her student."
