Chapter 16 I admit, I was too loud with her just now.
"Next up is a solo dance by Huagao—'Dawn.' Please give them a round of applause!"
After the host finished announcing the program, no one applauded; instead, there was much discussion in the audience.
"Hua Gao? Which Hua Gao? Is there such a school in Beijing?"
"Oh dear, it's a private school next to the Imperial High School. It's small and run-down, and it hasn't produced any outstanding results, so it's normal that no one knows about it."
"What good shows could a school like this possibly have!"
"Can we just skip to the next one?" someone complained. "We just finished watching Song Goddess's professional dance, the others probably aren't that interesting."
Next.
Some were chatting, some were playing on their phones, and some were even eating.
They showed absolutely no respect to the people on stage.
"Hold!"
Xu Qingye clenched his fists and couldn't help but swear.
Are private schools inferior?
When Zhao Qianqian proves herself and gets into Beijing University.
I'm so envious of those snobbish bastards.
"They're here! They're here!"
Seeing the lights dim, Tang Yuan excitedly reminded him.
"..."
Pei Jinwu then exited the game, put down her phone, and looked towards the stage.
Music begins.
Zhao Qianqian slowly walked out and stood under the lonely beam of light, her body hunched over.
"What the hell are you wearing?"
Seeing her worn-out gray dress, the people from the Imperial Palace laughed out loud: "The threshold for the stage is really low; anyone can come in."
"What are you doing? Can't you jump already!"
"I have to say, the people at Huagao have amazing mental fortitude; they dared to appear after Goddess Shen."
"I have a feeling that after watching her dance, I'll have to watch Shen Shen's dance to cleanse my eyes."
"Alright, you guys, stop joking."
Hearing the praise, Shen Yunrou remained polite on the surface, but her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Then, music started playing.
The girl on stage began to move; her dance, illuminated by the cold light, was both desolate and beautiful.
"Hmm? She really seems like she can dance!"
A girl who had studied dance spoke up, and several classmates who were playing on their phones next to her looked up as well.
The girl's movements became faster and faster, and the music, which mixed multiple instruments, also sped up.
The rhythmic drumbeats struck people's faith, as if trying to break free from constraints and seek light and the future.
Many people in the audience were unconsciously drawn in by the music and movements, their emotions driven to the extreme.
"Boom—"
After a tremendous roar, Zhao Qianqian leaped into the air and then landed heavily on her ground.
"Wow--"
This difficult move drew gasps of amazement.
At this moment.
People stopped chatting and stopped eating.
Almost everyone stared intently at the stage, holding their breath, anticipating her next move.
"Bang."
It wasn't until someone dropped their phone on the ground, making a loud noise, that Shen Yunrou snapped back to reality.
She clenched her fingers, her face pale.
I realized I'd been completely absorbed in what I was watching!
I originally thought that the people from Huagao were just trying to ride on Xuan Yue's popularity by dancing to her dance.
Just scribble a couple of lines, hand it in, and leave.
Unexpected.
The opponent not only can jump, but jumps exceptionally well.
She couldn't achieve that level of foundation, emotion, and explosive power.
While Shen Yunrou was lost in thought, Zhao Qianqian had already stood up.
The music of "Dawn" has reached its climax, intense and breathtaking.
"Ahhhh—"
Xu Qingye and Tang Yuan stood up abruptly and waved their arms vigorously.
burst.
That's absolutely amazing.
As the light gradually warmed, Zhao Qianqian's movements slowed down.
The girl's movements transitioned from intense to gentle, perfectly encapsulating the entire process of despair, struggle, effort, and success.
at last.
The lights turned into a beam again, shining on the center of the stage.
The girl, who was originally lonely, hugged her arms and gently rested her head on them.
A smile played on her lips, radiating happiness and joy.
The solo dance "Dawn" has officially ended.
The music stopped.
Zhao Qianqian's breathing was erratic as she cautiously raised her head.
Her heart pounded as she noticed everyone staring intently at her.
Just when things were getting tense—
Applause and murmurs erupted simultaneously.
"Holy crap! I thought they were going to give me a big one, but they gave me a really big one instead!"
"A student from Huagao High School? I need all her information within one minute!"
"No way, a private school that's about to go bankrupt, is going to go this far?"
“I admit, I was too loud with her just now.”
"Does anyone else think that this girl's dance is better than Shen Yunrou's?"
“Yes, yes, I think so too.” The female classmate covered her mouth and whispered, “Shen Yunrou has a very good foundation in dance and her movements are standard, but she gives people the feeling that she is exhausted after dancing and her life is over.”
This girl's dance is different.
Positive, optimistic, and uplifting.
After watching it, I wish I could borrow another five hundred years from heaven.
"I think Huagao's program might win an award in tomorrow's official competition."
"..."
The female classmate's attempts to block her mouth were ineffective; everything she said was overheard by Shen Yunrou and her lackeys.
What are you saying?
The leading male student stood up to defend her, saying, "What is she? How can she compare to Yun Rou?"
Students from places like Huagao.
He has no academic achievements and no connections.
How dare you steal the spotlight from his goddess?
I can't kill her!
"That's the truth."
The two girls were terrified. After saying their piece with their necks hunched, they quickly grabbed their bags and ran away.
"..."
Shen Yunrou clenched her hands tightly at her sides, her face growing even paler.
Anyone who has studied dance knows this.
This girl from Huagao is no ordinary person.
But……
Why is she able to dance "Dawn" so well?
In many details, it seems as if Teacher Xuan Yue personally provided guidance.
It's exactly the same as her movements!
Thinking about this, Shen Yunrou found it funny again.
She was able to hire Master Xuan Yue to guide her even at a high price, so how could a poor girl like Zhao Qianqian possibly get in touch with her?
Shen Yunrou was in a state of utter confusion.
They've been preparing for so long.
This is her most important opportunity to break into the upper echelons of society.
Losing to someone from such a lowly background would make her a laughingstock among the socialites who look down on her origins.
anyway.
She has to win.
Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Shen Yunrou's eyes.
——
The rehearsal went well.
Xu Qingye, Zhao Qianqian, and Tang Yuan were all very happy.
When having a big meal, we added a few more dishes to the original menu.
Looking at the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes, Pei Jinwu was in a good mood.
"See that? The faces of those bastards in the capital are blacker than charcoal."
Xu Qingye slapped the table and laughed heartily, feeling so exhilarated for the first time: "Wu-jie enrolled too late, otherwise she could have performed on stage with Zhao Qianqian."
"With Sister Wu's face, just standing there would be absolutely stunning. What chance would those grandsons of the Imperial Academy have?"
"right."
Tang Yuan lifted her face from the bowl and said unclearly, "This person's looks are comparable to my idol's. If she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely become incredibly popular."
Speaking of this...
"Speaking of which..."
Tang Yuan put down her chopsticks, leaned closer to Pei Jinwu, and observed her carefully: "Jinwu, you really do look a bit like my idol."
Pei Jinwu: "?"
——
good evening.
