On the note, Song Baiyi's handwriting was vigorous and powerful, which was quite consistent with his temperament.
Cheng Zhi suppressed the emotion in his eyes and put the note away. He looked up at Chen You, "Did Teacher Song wait for a long time just now?"
"Well... Mr. Song was already here before I got here. Then I waited with him for almost half an hour, but you came right after he left."
"Is that so..." Cheng Zhi tightened his grip on the paper bag slightly, feeling indescribable discomfort and guilt in his heart.
Chen You looked at Cheng Zhi's expression and frowned slightly, "It was Huo Shuhang who took you to the infirmary just now, right? Teacher Song was right next to you at the time, why didn't you let him take you there?"
Cheng Zhi bit his back teeth and thought that if what happened to Cheng Li had not happened, then it must have been Song Baiyi who sent him to the infirmary this morning.
However, Cheng Zhi has no plans to tell anyone else about Cheng Li's affairs for the time being.
He paused, then answered Shen You's question, "Teacher Song was busy at the time, and I was embarrassed to trouble him."
Chen You nodded, "That's right, but I heard that not long after you left, before the morning training was over, Teacher Song left."
"Teacher Song should have gone to buy the things in the bag for you. He was instructing us in our practice room today, and I saw him carrying the paper bag with him after he came back. I didn't know it was for you at first..."
The next second, Chen You called out slowly, "Cheng Zhi."
"The relationship between you and Teacher Song should not be limited to mentor and student, right?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Cheng Zhi was a little slow to react. He sighed, "If this isn't a mentor-student relationship, then what else could it be?"
Chen You glanced at Cheng Zhi and said calmly, "Do you think that in a normal relationship between a mentor and a student, a mentor would stand at the entrance of the cafeteria for nearly half an hour just to show concern for a sick student?"
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Chen You wanted to express.
But in Cheng Zhi's heart, most of the time, he really regarded Song Baiyi as his mentor.
However, that small part will only appear when it is unexpected.
For example, on the way to the hospital, he didn't quite understand whether he was moving closer to Song Baiyi because of the unbearable pain or because of a momentary impulse, but he just subconsciously moved closer to Song Baiyi.
Or when he knew that Song Baiyi was influenced by CP fans because of him. He didn't know whether it was because of his sense of responsibility or his thoughts that prompted him to act. He subconsciously came up with the idea of "I will take responsibility with Song Baiyi" and took action.
And last night in the tea room, when I just thought for a moment and then leaned my head on Song Baiyi's shoulder...
When they were in the car, Song Baiyi not only did not push her away, but also rubbed her belly.
When talking about promoting the CP, Song Baiyi not only did not refuse, but also took practical actions, resulting in the task being completed ahead of schedule.
In the tea room, Song Baiyi did not avoid him, and said to him: "You can stay as long as you want."
Although Cheng Zhi has not yet figured out the purpose of these actions when he himself does not know the reason.
But he had to admit that the moment he pushed Song Baiyi away this morning, he did feel a little sad and reluctant.
Cheng Zhi lowered his eyes and saw the note Song Baiyi left for him in the paper bag.
He seemed to... understand a little bit what Song Baiyi meant by being partial to him before.
Seeing that Cheng Zhi didn't respond for a long time, Shen You sighed.
"Forget it, go eat first. We still have to continue training in the afternoon."
Cheng Zhi hummed and silently took the paper bag.
He really wanted to respond to Song Baiyi's favoritism towards him, but not now.
After I have completely resolved Cheng Li’s issue, I will go and explain to Song Baiyi why I pushed him away at that time.
Before you are sure that the matter has been resolved, it would be better to avoid showing your close relationship with Song Baiyi in public as much as possible.
If Cheng Zhi dragged Song Baiyi into this because of his own selfish desires, he would feel a hundred times more guilty than when he pushed Song Baiyi away.
Lunch time is over and Cheng Zhi and Shen You say goodbye.
Because he was not feeling well and fell behind in practice for half a day, Cheng Zhi had to give up all his rest time to practice more.
After he put the paper bag Song Baiyi gave him back into the dormitory, he quickly adjusted his state and walked back into the practice room.
As soon as he opened the door, Cheng Zhi saw everyone's water cups and towels scattered in various places, with obvious signs of training.
"Are you feeling better?" Huo Shuhang was in the corner of the practice room, pressing his legs, warming up before training.
Cheng Zhi walked in and closed the door of the practice room. "Thank you for your concern. Now I won't faint after dancing a few steps."
Hearing Cheng Zhi's words, Huo Shuhang said, "I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to hold a grudge?"
Cheng Zhi ignored him. He just wanted to check on the progress of the training. "How far have you guys progressed?"
Huo Shuhang opened the tablet, scrolled down the progress bar, and handed it to Cheng Zhi. "According to the details, it's the first half, but didn't you arrange all the actions yesterday? The progress you calculated is not much behind ours."
Cheng Zhi took the video from Huo Shuhang and took a look. After confirming that the progress was not much different, he felt a little relieved.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Give me an hour of individual training and I'll be able to catch up. Have you rehearsed the movements? When will the instructors come to check?"
Huo Shuhang also believed in Cheng Zhi's ability and did not question him. "As for the overall movements, Ning Meng forced everyone to rehearse five times before the end of the morning before letting everyone go. The overall effect is okay, but as the center position, you were not here this morning, so you will have to rehearse with everyone and get used to it."
He looked up at his watch and continued, "The instructor should come to check at 4:30 pm, so there are still three hours left. You can use the first hour to practice alone to catch up with our progress, and then we can practice together in the remaining two hours."
After understanding the whole situation, Cheng Zhi nodded, took the tablet and found a corner to start practicing.
Most of the choreography of "Spark" was originally done by Cheng Zhi himself.
Therefore, it was not too difficult for him to practice alone. An hour was not slow, but Cheng Zhi was extremely efficient. In about 40 minutes, he had caught up with the progress.
By the time Cheng Zhi caught up with his teammates, the lunch break was over and the other team members returned to the practice room one after another to continue training.
Ning Meng looked at Cheng Zhi who had arrived early and greeted him, "How are you? I heard you fainted this morning?"
"Well, it's okay now." Cheng Zhi lifted his head out of the tablet and looked up at Ning Meng.
Ning Meng noticed the screen on the tablet and asked, "You were not here this morning. Do you need to follow up on our progress alone and come back to arrange it later?"
Cheng Zhi shook his head. "No need. I followed the progress Huo Shuhang said. I have already caught up with the progress during my lunch break. I will just practice coordination and positioning with everyone later."
Ning Meng was a little confused when she heard Cheng Zhi's words, "You finished practicing in just one lunch break?"
Cheng Zhi rubbed his nose and said, "I gave myself extra practice time last night. I just came to the practice room to practice a little bit in advance. I won't hold you back in basic movements, don't worry."
Although Ning Meng couldn't believe that Cheng Zhi had completed the movements that they had spent four hours practicing in the morning during the one-hour lunch break, he still suppressed his emotions and didn't show anything on the surface.
He nodded and said to Cheng Zhi, "Okay, then you can line up with us later. The instructors will be here to check in two hours."
Cheng Zhi agreed, and after all five people arrived, Ning Meng began to organize everyone's training.
Cheng Zhi had just stood in his starting position when he heard Fang Qiao whisper behind him, "Ning Meng, Cheng Zhi didn't participate in the training this morning... Why can he join us in the afternoon? Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to keep up with the movements and will delay our progress?"
Ning Meng shook his head. "He said he has caught up with our progress. It shouldn't take us long."
Fang Qiao uttered an "ah" and wanted to continue speaking when Cheng Zhi interrupted him.
Cheng Zhi was now standing in front of Fang Qiao on the left. He did not turn his head, but looked at Fang Qiao through the mirror.
His tone was a little cold. "Let me jump once, then you will know if I will delay your progress."
Fang Qiao probably didn't expect Cheng Zhi to confront him directly. He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find any words to retort for a while, so he just shut up silently.
The music started, although Cheng Zhi had only practiced alone for a short time, he was very clear. Even compared with the others, the water was even better than them.
Cheng Zhi's movements are neat and tidy, and even a random shake of the head or a wave of the hand is very memorable. There is nothing wrong with the dance as a whole, and his basic skills are good, so all the movements he performs are in line with the public's aesthetic standards and have their own characteristics.
Seeing Cheng Zhi's performance, Ning Meng silently dispelled his doubts about Cheng Zhi in his heart.
Fang Qiao's face was a little embarrassed, and the confidence he had when he questioned Cheng Zhi just now disappeared immediately. He was about to find a reason to excuse himself, but was interrupted by Cheng Zhi.
"Fang Qiao." This time, Cheng Zhi turned his head and looked at Fang Qiao.
Cheng Zhi's tone was a little cold, "You may have a bad memory and don't remember what happened yesterday. Did you just forget that I participated in most of the choreography of "Spark"? "
After Cheng Zhi's reminder, Fang Qiao was speechless.
After saying that, Cheng Zhi turned his eyes away from Fang Qiao and said, "You didn't do many of the moves well just now. Before you judge whether I can keep up with the progress, take care of your own moves first."
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Tina and Song Baiyi opened the door of the practice room together.
Tina smiled and held the folder, "How are you guys doing? We are most optimistic about your group~"
Cheng Zhi smiled, looked at Song Baiyi for a second, and then quickly looked away.
Ning Meng brought all the team members to the center of the practice room. "The basic movements have been mastered, but we are still a little confused about some details."
Hearing Ning Meng's words, Song Baiyi hummed, "You will know the effect after you dance once, let's start."
After everyone was ready, Song Baiyi signaled to the staff that they could play the music.
The two hours of group training did have some effect. The five of them moved in unison, and Fang Qiao would occasionally lag behind the others by a few beats, but because the choreography and positioning were excellent, it did not affect the overall effect.
Cheng Zhi's choreography retains the style of the original song, but also adds some of his own style. One focuses on technique and beauty, while the other focuses on strength and rhythm. Cheng Zhi blends them very well, and there is no unnecessary movement in the whole process. It is an excellent choreography.
When the song ended, Song Baiyi glanced at everyone.
“Who was involved in the choreography?”
Ning Meng raised his hand in response, "It's me."
Song Baiyi frowned slightly, "Are you the only one?"
After hearing what Song Baiyi said, Ning Meng continued, "There is also Cheng Zhi, who also provided us with a lot of advice and action guidance. Huo Shuhang is responsible for positioning and detail processing."
Song Baiyi nodded, "Well, you all did a pretty good job, but there are still some details to pay attention to..."
Hearing that his choreography was recognized by the original choreographer Song Baiyi, Cheng Zhi tasted a little sweetness.
Cheng Zhi secretly felt happy for a while, but he didn't show his joy on his face. He nodded slightly to Song Baiyi, "I know, Teacher Song, we will continue to work hard."
Song Baiyi nodded and frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably strange.
Based on my previous experience of praising Cheng Zhi, shouldn’t Cheng Zhi smile at me happily and say “Thank you, Teacher Song”?
However, this time he didn't smile at me or say thank you, and even addressed himself as "we" instead of "I".
For a moment, Song Baiyi even had the idea of going to the infirmary to ask the doctor whether Cheng Zhi was sick or lost.
Song Baiyi took a deep breath to calm himself down, then he began to comment on other people's performance with a cold face.
"I just said that you have to pay attention to the details. The person in charge of the details is Huo Shuhang, right? Please help others to grasp the details later. I will check it the day after tomorrow."
"Ning Meng, your ability to manage facial expressions needs to be improved. You can't grasp the emotions of the song in many cases. The atmosphere before the chorus is quite depressing. What were you laughing at just now?"
"And Fang Qiao, you just made two mistakes. Practice more when you get back. There are still a few places where you haven't kept up with the others. If you continue like this, you'll hold everyone back..."
Song Baiyi's attitude changed so quickly that the members who were criticized one by one lowered their heads silently and dared not say a word.
Tina, who was sitting next to them, did not dare to interrupt, because these problems were real to them. However, she also felt it was very strange. How could Song Baiyi, who had just been smiling and praising their good dancing, suddenly change his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book?
Among the five people, Cheng Zhi was the only one who was not criticized. Song Baiyi only reminded him twice that he did not do a certain action properly, taught him to correct it, and said, "Very good, keep it up." That was it.
Tina complained about Song Baiyi's double standards in her heart, while listening to Song Baiyi scolding others in fear.
Everyone finally made it through the end of the mentor's training. Except for Cheng Zhi, the other four members were all miserable.
However, because Song Baiyi was still there, no one dared to say anything. When the training time was over, Song Baiyi had not left the practice room, but everyone else rushed to the cafeteria one after another.
Huo Shuhang hissed, "Have you ever seen such a fierce teacher Song? This is the first time I've seen..."
Ning Meng shook his head and said, "I only know that he usually doesn't talk much to me... Who would have thought that the first time he spoke a long sentence to me was to scold me... Wasn't he just praising us at the beginning?"
Cheng Zhi, who was still in the practice room, packed up his things and was about to leave when he was stopped by Song Baiyi.
Song Baiyi walked closer to him and said, "Cheng Zhi, are you feeling better?"
Cheng Zhi looked up in response, and his first reaction was to check if the camera in the practice room was still on. When he saw that the green light on the camera next to him was still on, indicating normal operation, he looked up and looked at Song Baiyi.
"Well, I'm feeling much better now. Thank you, Mr. Song, for your concern for me."
you?
Song Baiyi was stunned for a moment, and almost lost control of his expression, "You're welcome, it's my duty."
Cheng Zhi nodded, and in his peripheral vision he could still see the green light flashing as the camera was running, "Teacher Song, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to go eat. I still have to continue training later."
After hearing Cheng Zhi's more normal response this time, Song Baiyi nodded, "Yes, you should go eat first. I have some other ideas for the choreography of this song. We can study it together after you finish eating."
Cheng Zhi was startled and cried out in his heart, "Not good." A trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Teacher Song, our team leader this time is Ning Meng. If you have any questions about the choreography, you should go talk to him later."
"In addition, during this training, I feel that the area I need to improve the most is the detail processing. I will go to Huo Shuhang, who is in charge of detail processing in our team, to study it together. You are busy with work anyway, so I won't bother you with it."
After saying that, Cheng Zhi immediately said goodbye to Song Baiyi and left the practice room quickly.
After listening to Cheng Zhi's polite speech, Song Baiyi stood there, watching Cheng Zhi's back as he left, and fell into deep thought.
Have I done anything to offend Cheng Zhi?
Song Baiyi thought about it for five minutes before he came up with an answer that might be a little more reliable.
...Is it because Cheng Zhi doesn’t like the flavor of the candy he gave her today?
After dinner, Cheng Zhi dragged Huo Shuhang back to the practice room.
After all, he had just told Song Baiyi that he would go to Huo Shuhang to review the details. He couldn't just run off to a corner and practice silently by himself, right?
When Huo Shuhang heard that Cheng Zhi wanted him to help him with the details, he said in disbelief: "You still need me to teach you the details? Have you forgotten how you taught me to do the details during the first public meeting?"
Cheng Zhi hissed, "Isn't this your mission?"
Huo Shuhang said, "Yes, yes, yes," and asked Cheng Zhi, "What details can stump you?"
Cheng Zhi picked up the tablet and casually pointed at a progress bar, "Here it is. You teach me."
The two of them were discussing together, and Cheng Zhi suddenly saw Song Baiyi who was about to enter the practice room out of the corner of his eye.
Song Baiyi thought Cheng Zhi was joking with him just now, but when he saw Cheng Zhi really holding a tablet and learning moves with Huo Shuhang, his eyes darkened slightly and his expression was not very good.
The next second, his face turned dark and he called Ning Meng out on the pretext of changing his moves.
Huo Shuhang was looking at the tablet with his back to Song Baiyi. He inexplicably felt a chill running up his spine.
He subconsciously looked back and happened to meet Song Baiyi's eyes.
Although the two of them only looked at each other for a second, Huo Shuhang felt the look in Song Baiyi's eyes, which was as fierce as if he wanted to cut him into pieces a hundred times.
Huo Shuhang hissed and quickly turned around to complain to Cheng Zhi.
"Teacher Song is in such a bad mood today? Did you just have a quarrel with your sister-in-law?"
Cheng Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Well, maybe..."
Tonight's training was not easy for all five of them.
Huo Shuhang endured Song Baiyi's fierce gaze for an entire night. Ning Meng was scolded by Song Baiyi because of problems with the choreography. Fang Qiao and Xu Xi were directly stopped for an entire night because they did not meet Song Baiyi's standards.
Cheng Zhi finished a whole night of training, feeling full of guilt towards Song Baiyi.
When they returned to the dormitory, the other four people cleaned themselves up listlessly and fell asleep on their beds.
Cheng Zhi was the last one to take a shower. When he climbed onto the bed, he took out the cell phone that was under the pillow.
As soon as he turned on the computer, Cheng Zhi saw a message pop up at the top of the screen.
Sender: Ms. Wang.
Message content: "Is this Cheng Zhi? Why did you contact me suddenly?"
--------------------
The author has something to say:
I'm afraid someone might misunderstand me, so I'll explain. The sister-in-law that Huo Shuhang mentioned was just teasing and complaining about Teacher Song, just like when people joke with each other, "You're in such a bad mood, have you been dumped?" It's the same meaning~
Although I know the stickman cover is cool, I still changed to a new cover qaq~ (I want to brag!)
