When she finished her dance and was covered in cold sweat, she stopped to rest and then noticed the extra person in the training room.
He was a stranger, someone I'd never seen before. He was wearing a white down jacket, a yellow Psyduck hat, and a cute face mask with a little white rabbit design, revealing only his gentle eyes and fair, full forehead.
Qiao Nansheng glanced at the man, said nothing, and walked to the side to pick up the water she had bought earlier and took a sip.
"Are you one of Amy's students these days?" As she was drinking water, the man walked up to her and asked in a gentle voice.
Qiao Nansheng swallowed the water, looked up at the man in front of her, nodded and said, "Yes, I am. Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the man pulled down his mask, revealing a handsome and refined face.
His eyes were gentle, and he had a warm smile on his face, making him seem very approachable.
"My name is Xu Yanqing," the man introduced himself, extending his hand to Qiao Nansheng.
Qiao Nansheng stared at the hand in front of her for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to shake his hand.
"Hello, Qiao Nansheng."
She quickly withdrew her hand after speaking, without engaging in much further interaction with him, as if he were some kind of virus.
Xu Yanqing was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Are you practicing dancing here alone? Amy didn't come today?"
"I don't know." Qiao Nansheng shook her head, bent down, took a bottle of water out of her backpack, and handed it to him: "Want some?"
Since she had already brought it out, Xu Yanqing naturally couldn't refuse. Coincidentally, he was also thirsty, so he said thank you, took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.
Qiao Nansheng glanced at him, her gaze lingering on the man's slightly bobbing Adam's apple. She thought to herself: Good-looking people are handsome even when they're just drinking water.
As she thought this, the image of Zhou Cheng drinking water involuntarily came to mind.
Zhou Cheng's Adam's apple was more defined and sexy, and his appearance was comparable to that of the man in front of him named Xu Yanqing.
Although he appears gentle and kind, Zhou Cheng's private side is anything but gentle.
The person in front of her... although he also seemed gentle and kind, Qiao Nansheng had a feeling that this person, like Zhou Cheng, was not as gentle and harmless as he appeared on the surface.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yanqing asked when he saw Qiao Nansheng staring at him after finishing his water. A few drops of water fell from the corner of his mouth onto his white down jacket, soaking a patch of it in no time.
Qiao Nansheng looked away and shook her head, saying, "Are you here to see Amy? She hasn't arrived yet. Let me ask her for you."
She bent down to pick up her phone from the ground, opened WeChat, found Amy, and sent her a message. She received a reply shortly afterward.
Amy: I can't come today because I have something to do. I asked Xiao Xu to teach you to dance. You'll learn from him today.
Xiao Qiao didn't get any stronger today either: ...I thought I came to find you.
Amy: Something came up at home and I can't leave. Xiao Xu is really good at street dance; he's won the national street dance championship. You can learn from him these next few days. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him directly.
Xiao Qiao didn't get any stronger today: Okay.
Amy: Oh right, and your friend, I told Jin Qi and the others that if she comes later, she'll be put directly into the training room next door. Her name is Tang Xuerou, right?
Xiao Qiao didn't get any stronger today: Yeah, that's right.
Amy: OK, you can practice dancing with Xiao Xu. I won't bother you anymore. Practice well.
Xiao Qiao didn't get any stronger today: Okay.
Turning off her phone, Qiao Nansheng looked up and said, "Amy said she has something to do these few days and can't come, so she'll ask you to be my dance teacher."
Xu Yanqing nodded and said "Oh," without seeming very surprised: "You just finished dancing, why don't you rest for a while before starting again?"
"Mmm." Qiao Nansheng nodded vigorously, walked to a chair to the side and sat down. There was still a little space next to her, so she politely asked, "Would Teacher Xu like to come and sit for a while?"
It was just a polite remark, and she hadn't expected Xu Yanqing to agree. But to her surprise, the man nodded, said "okay," and walked over to sit in the empty seat next to her.
Xu Yanqing had a pleasant gardenia scent, slightly strong but not overpowering or cloying.
Qiao Nansheng turned her head slightly to look at this "Teacher Xu", squinting as she examined him. She hadn't really looked at Xu Yanqing properly over there, but now that she was sitting closer, he seemed more and more familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Where have I seen you before?
Qiao Nansheng frowned, puzzled, but couldn't remember for a long time.
Xu Yanqing noticed her comment and said, "Xiao Qiao... is it okay to call you that?"
Qiao Nansheng paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Xu Yanqing smiled slightly and said, "Is there something on my face? You've been staring at me so intently, you can't bear to look away."
"..." Qiao Nansheng was slightly embarrassed. She turned her head to look elsewhere, her cheeks flushed, and then coughed awkwardly, saying, "No, I just feel that Teacher Xu looks a little familiar, like I've seen her before."
Xu Yanqing laughed again: "Everyone who sees me says that."
Qiao Nansheng immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking. She hadn't thought anything of it at first, but Xu Yanqing's words made it seem like she was flirting with him.
"Just kidding." Seeing her fall silent, Xu Yanqing laughed heartily: "You really don't recognize me?"
His eyes were filled with doubt and disbelief.
Xu Yanqing is the male actor with the highest popularity in the entertainment industry besides Zhou Cheng, and he is also a film emperor. However, compared with Zhou Cheng, his influence is still a little less.
The two are equally good at acting and looks, and have similar resources, but Zhou Cheng is a bit more popular than Xu Yanqing.
"Should I get to know Teacher Xu?" Qiao Nansheng asked back, while taking out her phone. "Let me search for her."
She clicked on Baidu and searched for Xu Yanqing's name, "Which 'yan' is in Teacher Xu's name?"
"The character with the bamboo radical is '延' (yán), meaning continuous or extending."
Qiao Nansheng found the word he mentioned, and as soon as he typed it in, before he had even typed the third character, his name and some related topics popped up.
She clicked on the first name, and Xu Yanqing's information immediately appeared on Baidu. Qiao Nansheng didn't even click on it before seeing "Best Actor at the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards" in the introduction.
Qiao Nansheng clicked on the picture and saw that it was the man sitting next to her. Although the man in the photo looked much younger than he does now, with a youthful look on his face, he was still easily recognizable.
"..." Qiao Nansheng didn't dare to speak and silently distanced herself from him.
He's actually a movie star, I can't afford to mess with him.
What makes her so special that she's shaken hands with two movie stars?
Qiao Nansheng sighed inwardly, then heard Xu Yanqing say, "You don't need to sit so far away. Be careful not to fall. There are no outsiders here, and no one will see you if you sit together. It's fine."
