Chapter 20
Practice time flew by, and the first performance was just around the corner. For the next two days, almost everyone stayed in the practice room, as no one wanted to be the one holding the team back.
With Zheng Yanye's special guidance, Jiang Shiyu finally grasped the nuances of the dance. The night before the performance, when Xu Junwen came to see their practice results, his frown softened, a smile spreading across his face. After they finished, he was the first to applaud: "Everyone danced well. Get some rest tonight, and you'll definitely shine tomorrow."
He patted Jiang Shiyu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoyu, you've made great progress. You must have practiced a lot in private."
"Hmm..." Jiang Shiyu smiled shyly. He caught a glimpse of Zheng Yanye walking towards them. After a moment's thought, he added, "It's all thanks to our captain's good teaching. He helped me correct a lot of details."
"Really?" Xu Junwen raised his eyebrows, looking at the person who had come over from nowhere, and said with a smile, "Yan is also so helpful."
"I didn't see that."
Zheng Yanye: ...If you have nothing to say, you don't have to say it.
Xu Junwen understood the meaning of his eyes and smiled even more deeply. He didn't want to shut up. He had finally seen Young Master Zheng humble himself and act so powerful. How could he justify himself by not helping his buddy?
Jiang Shiyu was still explaining for Zheng Yan: "Yan is just very helpful. Teacher, you need to interact with him more to know."
"So that's how it is." Xu Junwen nodded in understanding. "It seems that Zheng Yan and I haven't had enough contact. We're not as close as you two."
Jiang Shiyu: ...
Why did he think this sounded a little strange?
Zheng Yanye: ...
He couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted their conversation, pointing expressionlessly at the clock on the wall: "It's almost twelve o'clock. We have a performance tomorrow. The production team specifically reminded us to go to bed early tonight."
He pulled Jiang Shiyu over to stand beside him and said hello to Xu Junwen: "We have to get up early tomorrow to do the decoration, so we will go back tonight."
When Jiang Shiyu was pulled away by Zheng Yanye, he did not forget to turn around and wave to him: "Teacher, go to bed early too."
Xu Junwen almost laughed out loud as he looked at their backs. Zheng Yan's words were full of the implication that he was in the way. He also heard Zheng Yan say that he must have rested better than them. However, Jiang Shiyu patted him on the back, and the tone changed to "I'll listen to you" and he floated towards him in the evening breeze.
Young Master Zheng, who has always been cold-hearted and seems to care about nothing, would actually love like this. Xu Junwen sighed and shook his head. It is true that love makes people blind. Who would have dared to imagine that Zheng Yanye would be like this a few months ago? When he mentioned that another friend abandoned their small circle after getting married, Zheng Yanye sneered that he would never become like that.
People still can't say too much, now it's really like a boomerang hitting them right in the middle.
After this episode airs, he will definitely make a compilation of Zheng Yanye's daily pursuit of his wife and play it in their group every day.

On the way back, Jiang Shiyu said he was sleepy, but when he arrived at the dormitory, he was not in a hurry to go to bed. When Zheng Yan went to take a shower, he saw him looking for something in the suitcase, and he was still rummaging through the suitcases after coming out of the shower.
"What are you looking for?" He hung the towel around his neck and moved closer curiously. The water droplets on his hair dripped onto Jiang Shiyu's arm.
Jiang Shiyu finally found what he wanted. He looked up at Zheng Yanye, his delicate eyebrows twisted into a ball: "Why don't you blow dry your hair?"
"I saw how hard you were looking for it, so I wanted to help you, didn't I?"
"I've found it." Jiang Shiyu raised the card in his hand, "But if you don't blow-dry your hair, be careful of getting a migraine when you get older."
"I won't take care of you."
"Xiao Yu, are you concerned about me?" Zheng Yan also looked at the person opposite with a smile.
Of course, if I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t say these words. Before Jiang Shiyu could finish his words, he heard Zheng Yan say, “So you’ve been thinking about the future for so long.”
"But don't worry, even when I'm old, I won't let Xiaoyu take care of me."
"I'm more than capable of taking care of you."
What? Jiang Shiyu's face flushed instantly. It was true that he liked Zheng Yanye very much now, and they had kissed and exchanged saliva, but they had not confirmed their relationship yet, and Zheng Yanye had not confessed to him.
There’s no need to think so far ahead!
He coughed, abruptly changed the subject, and held out his cards to the other person: "Draw three."
"What is this?"
"Tarot cards," Jiang Shiyu said excitedly, "I bought a new set specifically to calculate the results of our performance tomorrow."
Zheng Yanye: ...
He looked at Jiang Shiyu's bright eyes, but he didn't say anything like "metaphysics is not credible". It would be nice to have some psychological comfort before facing an important exam.
He was about to draw when he suddenly thought that if the result of the tarot cards was good, there would be no problem. But if it was a bad result, how could he comfort Jiang Shiyu?
To be cautious, he asked Jiang Shiyu: "Will you look at the results?"
"No." Jiang Shiyu said calmly, "I think you can understand it by referring to the instructions."
...Then it's okay.
The last two people stared at the three tarot cards with wide eyes. The more Jiang Shiyu looked at them, the more he felt that the curves on the cards were vague and hypnotic. He unconsciously leaned his head on the shoulder of the person next to him.
Zheng Yan also felt the heat on his neck. Jiang Shiyu's breathing was obviously very light, but every sound was deafening to him and gradually overlapped with his heartbeat.
He gently carried Jiang Shiyu to the bed and kissed him on the forehead: "Good night."
"Even without looking at metaphysics, we will win tomorrow."

On the day of the performance, everyone got up in a hurry early in the morning, rushed to put on makeup, do their styling, go to the venue, and then wait for their turn backstage.
Jiang Shiyu's group's program was the third to last. After a hectic morning schedule, he was still on standby, leaning listlessly in the corner like a mushroom.
Then someone touched my mushroom head.
"Don't touch my hair." Jiang Shiyu glared at Zheng Yanye, "I'll have to get it styled again later."
"Your hair is a little messy." Zheng Yan also looked at him innocently, "Let me help you tidy it up."
"Well then...thank you."
Zheng Yan also sat down next to Jiang Shiyu and looked at him in a daze: "What are you thinking about? Are you worried about our stage?"
"Yes, a little." Jiang Shiyu said slowly, "I'm afraid I..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zheng Yan. The man opposite him looked at him with gentle but firm eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu."
"You dance really well." Zheng Yan also patted Jiang Shiyu's shoulder gently, "We will definitely put on a perfect performance."
"Believe in yourself, Jiang Shiyu."
All right.
Jiang Shiyu only felt a tingling sensation in his ears, but he was not a child.
Perhaps Zheng Yanye's encouragement was really effective. In any case, when they went on stage, Jiang Shiyu looked at Zheng Yanye beside him. When he thought that Zheng Yanye was with him, he was not so nervous anymore.
The moment the lights suddenly came on, Jiang Shiyu and Zheng Yan looked at each other, seeing tiny glints in each other's eyes. And so, singing the song I wrote for you became the proof of our love.
The lazy and soulful R&B, coupled with the dance they had carefully rehearsed for a long time, made the entire audience immersed in their performance, and their efforts finally paid off.
Compared with their strong emotional appeal, their competitors seemed superficial and lost in the two-group confrontation.
When the results were announced, their entire group almost jumped up. A bunch of people hugged each other and cried and laughed. Jiang Shiyu was forced to stick close to Zheng Yanye, almost leaning on him.
"I told you." Zheng Yan also breathed into his ear, "We will win."
"My credit score is always full."
Jiang Shiyu also leaned closer to him and said, "You are really awesome, brother."
