With the end of the monthly exams, Mingde No.1 Middle School will welcome new students, along with a welcome party and dance.
In these two weeks, everyone can put aside their identity as senior high school students and devote themselves to rehearsing the show and practicing dance. The amount of homework in these two weeks is half of what it is usually.
But once the dance ended, everyone went back to being students striving for their future.
The welcome party at Mingde No.1 Middle School has always been of a high standard, not only because many students spend a lot of money to learn extracurricular skills from a young age, but also because the party invites many big names in the arts and culture world. If you are noticed by these big names, you are basically guaranteed admission to university.
Art students, in particular, are extremely eager to get in.
The students from regular departments who managed to stand out among these art students were certainly not to be underestimated. Although they did not take the art exam route, they had an extra guaranteed admission spot and an extra backup plan, so why not take advantage of it?
At the same time, to take everyone's feelings into consideration, the results of this monthly exam will not be announced until the day after the dance. We'll draw a line between the exam date and the results announcement date. During this period, you can do whatever you want and release your stress. After this period, please focus and bury yourself in your studies to move forward.
The class suddenly became lively. Those who were capable signed up for programs and practiced whenever they had time, all in the hope of being selected for the official performance list. Ye Jiu and Tian Tian, who were just lazy, seemed out of place in this class.
Tian Tian's problem stems from her lack of skill. Despite paying for her to learn various skills as a child, she only had a fleeting interest, dabbling in a few things but mastering nothing. Ye Jiu's problem is purely laziness; she lacks ambition and lives day to day.
Tian Tian rested her chin on her hand and asked Ye Jiu, "They all go to the dance studio, music room, and practice room to rehearse. Is it really okay for us to stay in the classroom?"
It was a PE class, but because of the welcome party, it was changed to free time. Everyone rushed off to practice, leaving only her, Ye Jiu, and... in the classroom.
Tian Tian turned her head to look at Su Qingyue, who was sitting upright with her head down doing her homework.
Ye Jiu also propped her chin up and turned to look at Su Qingyue. Without the other classmates blocking her view, Ye Jiu was seeing Su Qingyue with such an unobstructed view for the first time.
"His legs are so long, and his waist is so thin. Do you think he has abs?" Tian Tian asked.
"No." Ye Jiu answered decisively. The reaction to the last incident proved that Su Qingyue was suspicious of him. Men who have abs are like men who are 180cm+ tall and want to tell the whole world. Judging from Su Qingyue's attitude, he obviously doesn't have them.
Tian Tian quickly turned to stare at Ye Jiu, "How did you know you touched it?"
"No, but I just know, hehe."
Tian Tian's gaze darted back and forth between Ye Jiu and Su Qingyue, finally concluding, "The progress is incredibly fast."
Tian Tian didn't try to keep her voice down, and Su Qingyue, unless she was deaf, could hear their conversation.
He put down his pen and turned around. "If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me directly."
Although she said it with a smile, Tian Tian felt a chill run down her spine. She shuddered in fright, "Just kidding, just kidding, hehe, don't mind me, top student, haha."
Ye Jiu, puzzled, scratched his head and asked, "How about we practice some dance steps? Do you know how to waltz?"
Su Qingyue shook his head. This wasn't something he could access, but... he had already learned how to do it at the dances of the past two years, however...
"Then let's find a place to learn too, I'm not very good at dancing either." After saying that, Ye Jiu stood up and prepared to leave.
Tian Tian was left alone, bewildered in the wind. "You just left? Left? You don't want me anymore? What am I going to do? You can't leave me alone in the classroom, can you?"
Ye Jiu gave a wicked smile, her voice like a devil's whisper, "Why not?"
Tian Tian was thunderstruck. "Ye Jiu, you've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty face!"
Ye Jiu was the first to walk out of the classroom. "I'm going to dance with my dance partner. Who's as lonely as you? So what if you forget your friends for the sake of a pretty boy? Men are temporary, but best friends are forever. Just let him have his way."
Three question marks seemed to appear above Tian Tian's head. Was she saying this to me at a karaoke bar?
Before she could figure it out, the entire classroom was already empty. Feeling deeply deceived, Tian Tian angrily ordered milk tea without telling Ye Jiu. Damn it, she wouldn't bring her milk tea anymore.
——
The dance studio was occupied, and Ye Jiu felt embarrassed to go in and disturb them. In the end, she and Su Qingyue found a shady spot in the woods behind the school, where there was a small pavilion nearby where they could sit and rest.
Ye Jiu looked around. The dense foliage of the trees blocked most of the sunlight, with only a few sparse gaps letting in. Suddenly, Ye Jiu thought of something and laughed, "Su Qingyue, doesn't it look like we're having a secret rendezvous here?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue carefully looked around and said, "This is indeed a 'holy place' that couples like to come to."
Ye Jiu took out her phone to find instructional videos, saying as she searched, "Isn't it too hasty for us to start practicing so early? The dance isn't until next Thursday night, there are still more than ten days to go."
Su Qingyue didn't want to refuse this rare time alone with the two of them. "It's not early. I'm a bit slow and learn slowly."
Ye Jiu expressed doubt, "Really? Your grades are that good? Don't you think you can just memorize these dance steps after watching them a few times?"
"No, I'm just uncoordinated," Su Qingyue said, trying her best to downplay her abilities. "A brilliant mind but simple hands."
Ye Jiu opened the video to review the dance steps and comforted him, "It seems that God opens a door for you and closes a window for you. Don't be discouraged. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses."
"Hmm, have you found the video?" Su Qingyue leaned closer to look at Ye Jiu's phone screen.
“I found it. I’m reviewing it. I don’t want to teach you the wrong steps, or it will be embarrassing. But this kind of dance is just you advancing and me retreating. I really can’t learn it…” Ye Jiu curled up the corner of her mouth. “I’ll dance the male steps, and you can dance the female steps and follow me.”
Su Qingyue showed no embarrassment or annoyance at being teased, and instead asked her, "You seem quite looking forward to dancing the male steps?"
"It's alright, I just like to try different things, and all kinds of experiences enrich my life."
"If you like, we can try it now. You can lead me by dancing the male steps first." Su Qingyue didn't care about these things. Empty male pride wouldn't bring him any benefits, and might even make her dislike him, which was something Su Qingyue didn't want to see.
Ye Jiu turned off her phone and put it back in her pocket. "Okay, let's do it now, hehe."
Ye Jiu first struck a pose, indicating that Su Qingyue should imitate her and hold her hand, "Hold my hand."
Su Qingyue put one arm around her back and held her hand with the other. His masculine aura pressed close to Ye Jiu, but his actions were not offensive. Ye Jiu said softly, "There's no music playing. I'll count to eight beats. Let's start slowly."
They faced each other, their breaths mingling. Su Qingyue would lower his head slightly to kiss her. He stared at her intently, as if trying to imprint her image into his heart. His gaze was so intense that Ye Jiu was at a loss. She gripped his hand tightly and whispered, "Shall we begin?"
