Chapter 78



Hearing Huo Shuhang's words, Cheng Zhi suppressed the twitching of his mouth and nodded in agreement.

After seeing Cheng Zhiyou responding to his words, Huo Shuhang became more and more excited.

"That girl is quite tall, probably around 1.75 meters tall."

"If you think about it this way, isn't Mr. Song's girlfriend a tall, beautiful lady?"

"Wow, I really want to see what a girl who can catch Teacher Song's eye looks like..."

And Cheng Zhi, who was called a girl by Huo Shuhang, the so-called Song Baiyi's "girlfriend".

He was now standing in front of Huo Shuhang, with a frown on his face.

Cheng Zhi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"you…"

Huo Shuhang, who was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Zhi, tilted his head slightly. When he looked at him, his eyes were full of innocence. "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing Huo Shuhang's expression, Cheng Zhi believed that he was not lying, so he waved his hand and said.

"fine."

Why don’t you go see an ophthalmologist after the show? I’ll treat you.

Seeing that Cheng Zhi didn't seem to trust him very much, Huo Shuhang frowned slightly.

Then he said to Cheng Zhi unhappily.

"I'm not lying to you. I really saw it just now. Teacher Song's girlfriend is really a beauty! Do you not believe in Teacher Song's judgment or do you not believe in mine?!"

Hearing Huo Shuhang's sudden and loud questioning, Cheng Zhi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and answered him while holding his forehead.

"I don't distrust Teacher Song's judgment."

I don't believe the look in your eyes.

After saying that, Cheng Zhi weighed the matter silently in his mind. After the show, in addition to paying Huo Shuhang's medical expenses for seeing the ophthalmologist, he would probably have to pay for the cardiovascular department's medical expenses.

He felt that Huo Shuhang, besides having poor eyesight, was also a little bit stupid.

Cheng Zhi now doesn't want to continue discussing the topic of "Is Song Baiyi's girlfriend a beautiful woman?" with Huo Shuhang.

So Cheng Zhi waved his hand and interrupted Huo Shuhang before he could continue.

"Let's train first and stop talking about this."

"What Mr. Song's partner looks like has nothing to do with us. It's better not to discuss the teacher's privacy in private."

Hearing Cheng Zhiwan reject his invitation to gossip, Huo Shuhang felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded and stopped talking.

So the next second, he turned the topic to Cheng Zhi.

"Why didn't you go back to the dormitory last night? Just take a walk all night? And I didn't see you this morning... We have almost arranged our movements, except for your position."

Facing the series of questions that Huo Shuhang threw out like bombs, Cheng Zhi suppressed his emotions.

Then, with an expressionless face, he threw out the draft that he had prepared in his mind long ago to Huo Shuhang.

"I went out for a walk twice last night and then went back to the practice room. I practiced so late that I forgot about the curfew and ended up staying in the practice room all night."

When Cheng Zhi finished speaking, Huo Shuhang nodded thoughtfully, "Then why didn't I see you in the practice room this morning?"

Cheng Zhi continued to lie without changing his expression, "Because it was cold in the practice room last night, I caught a cold in the morning, so I stayed in the infirmary for the whole morning."

This time, Cheng Zhi's lies were so logical and consistent with the actual situation that Huo Shuhang couldn't find any fault with them.

So Huo Shuhang could only nod and say "oh" after listening.

"Then you have to take care of your health. Otherwise, getting sick all the time will delay your progress. We have almost finished rehearsing the dance moves. You should take the time to practice and catch up."

Cheng Zhi rubbed his nose unnaturally, "Yeah, I will."

Huo Shuhang probably didn't know that Fang Qiao was disqualified from the competition.

Their team is now short of one person, so the so-called dance schedule that has been arranged should be completely overturned and started over again...

Just like that, Cheng Zhi looked at Huo Shuhang with a bit of sympathy in his eyes.

In order to prevent the person in front of him from suffering a series of blows, Cheng Zhi decided not to let him accept the reality so quickly.

The staff should be able to explain everything clearly later when the rest of their team arrives.

The damage caused by group attacks should not be as serious as that caused by individual attacks.

At least there will be someone to howl with Huo Shuhang later.

With this in mind, Cheng Zhixian agreed to Huo Shuhang's words, then went to a corner of the practice room with a tablet and began to study how the four-person dance should be choreographed.

Because there is one less person, there are more lyrics by Fang Qiao.

In addition, there will be changes and additions in the movement and each person's part, but there should not be any major changes in the dance moves.

Cheng Zhi was holding a tablet and silently going over the initial version of the four people's movements and parts in his mind.

The other two teammates also returned to the practice room one after another, ready to start training.

Ning Meng looked up at the clock hanging in front of the practice room and asked, "Why is it that our team is always short of people during rehearsal..."

He pursed his lips, looking unhappy, and asked others.

"It's been fifteen minutes since the training started. Where is Fang Qiao? Did you see Fang Qiao when you came over from the dormitory just now?"

Huo Shuhang shook his head. "I didn't see him. I came out early today. You were all resting in bed. I didn't know if Fang Qiao had returned to the dormitory."

Xu Xi recalled the details of leaving the dormitory just now, and then replied to Ning Meng: "I was the last one to leave. I confirmed that there was no one in the dormitory before locking the door. I thought Fang Qiao had come to the practice room to practice like you guys..."

"How could this happen?" Ning Meng frowned, her face gradually showing dissatisfaction, "Cheng Zhi has caught up with the training progress. We were supposed to be able to dance together this afternoon, but now we have one less person..."

Before Ning Meng could finish his complaint, the door of the practice room was knocked open.

A girl in staff uniform leaned in, and before anyone could react, she started to inform everyone.

"It happened suddenly. The specific situation is quite complicated so I won't go into details. Fang Qiao from your team has just been disqualified from the competition."

"Because the other contestants have their own teams, there are no other contestants who can fill in now, so we need you to temporarily change the original five-person choreography to a four-person choreography."

"That's about it. Good luck! In three hours, a teacher will come to give you instructions. Please start making changes to your movements and positioning according to the specific situation."

After saying a few more words of encouragement, the girl bowed and left the practice room with the materials in her arms.

After the girl left, the practice room fell into silence.

After hearing the news that their teammates had been withdrawn from the competition, the three people except Cheng Zhi looked at each other for a while.

After a long time, Ning Meng spoke to break the silence.

"How long is it until we go on stage to perform?"

Huo Shuhang counted on his fingers and answered him, "We will be on stage the day after tomorrow, so no more, no less, exactly one and a half days."

“…”

After hearing Huo Shuhang's answer, Ning Meng sighed, and then, like the other team members, silently accepted the reality of having to start re-choreography.

"We only have a day and a half. If we hurry, we should be able to make it in time."

That was it, for a day and a half.

The four-person version of "Spark" choreography training officially begins from now on.

After Fang Qiao was no longer in the team, Cheng Zhi's training efficiency and enthusiasm more than doubled.

Cheng Zhiyi already knew the original choreography and movements by heart, so he took the tablet and quickly told the other three teammates about the changes to the movements and the adjustments to the lyrics.

Huo Shuhang was amazed at his efficiency, and then asked.

"How fast are you? Did you know that Fang Qiao would be disqualified from the competition, so you secretly prepared two choreographies?"

Cheng Zhi laughed out loud guiltily, automatically ignoring Huo Shuhang's previous words, and then explained: "How could that be... I don't have the time to prepare two choreography."

He paused and continued, "It's just that there weren't many places I wanted to change, so I finished it quickly after a little adjustment."

"Is that so..." Huo Shuhang just asked casually and did not take Cheng Zhi's words to heart.

Then he nodded and continued to discuss the next steps with his teammates.

In less than half an hour, after some discussion.

Everyone accepted Cheng Zhi's adaptation of the dance.

The four of them all had strong execution abilities, and after the adaptation plan was finalized, they quickly began to arrange their positions and practice their movements.

There are basically no changes to the dance moves, the only changes are in the positioning and part divisions.

So the pressure is actually not that great. Everyone just needs to remember the new movements and divide Fang Qiao's part, and basically there won't be any big problems.

Cheng Zhi was still the center, but when he was choreographing, he broke up Fang Qiao's part and distributed it to the other three teammates, without asking for even a second more.

Cheng Zhi did this for two reasons.

One reason is that when Cheng Zhi choreographed, he more or less incorporated some personal emotions into it.

He is not the type to hate or like a song just because of one person.

But because Cheng Zhi felt a little annoyed with Fang Qiao, he subconsciously didn't want to dance the part that Fang Qiao had skipped.

Well, I really don’t want it for even a second, not even for a free gift.

Another reason was that Cheng Zhi had missed a lot of group training due to physical and other reasons. He knew very well how difficult it would be to be without a teammate during such group training.

So when he was assigning parts to everyone just now, he felt a little guilty.

In addition to sharing Fang Qiao's part with everyone, Cheng Zhi also silently gave up some of his part to the other three teammates.

The new choreography of "Spark" was completed quickly after discussion among the four of them.

After the four of them practiced several times in front of the mirror according to the new movements and parts, they felt the effect was very good.

Soon, everyone's initial depressed mood about having to re-choreograph because of one missing teammate dissipated.

What replaced it all was satisfaction with the new choreography and confidence in the success of the stage performance the day after tomorrow.

Cheng Zhi looked at the dance video he had just recorded on the tablet and felt it was pretty good overall.

I don’t know if it’s because Fang Qiao is missing, although the dance moves haven’t changed.

But he felt that all the changes in movement were much better, the stage looked much clearer, and the presentation effect was eye-catching.

Anyway, from various aspects, Cheng Zhi personally feels that the choreography of four people this time is much better than the choreography of five people at the beginning.

In the three hours before the instructor came to give guidance, the four of them worked together.

After dancing the new choreography again and again in front of the mirror, everyone gradually felt relieved.

During the break, Huo Shuhang held the tablet, watched the newly recorded video twice, and began to brag to others confidently.

"Just keep up the level! We can go on stage and perform in five minutes!"

The next second, Ning Meng threw Huo Shuhang's towel at his face with a hint of disgust in his tone.

"If you want to embarrass yourself by going on stage with your sweaty body, then go by yourself. Don't bring me along with you, okay?"

Huo Shuhang let out a cry, took off the towel that Ning Meng had just thrown on his face, and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

"When you throw the towel at me, can't you not throw it in my face?"

Ning Meng clapped his hands, then shook his head and replied to Huo Shuhang: "No, the purpose of throwing the towel is to make you shut up."

“…”

Okay, just shut up.

Cheng Zhi looked at their interaction and found it inexplicably funny.

He raised the corner of his mouth, and just as he was about to ask everyone to practice a few times, there was a knock on the door of the practice room.

Ning Meng shouted "Come in", and then the door was pushed open from the outside.

Then Cheng Zhi watched Tina and Song Baiyi enter the practice room one after another.

Tina walked in and smiled apologetically at the four people in the practice room.

"Oh, I'm sorry to ask you to change the dance at the last minute, but you suddenly have one less person, so there's nothing we can do about it."

After saying that, Tina sat down on the chair in front of the practice room, holding some information in her hand and asked them with a smile.

"How's the progress of your choreography? If you have any questions, please let me know~"

"In addition, the program team has arranged for Teacher Song and I to guide and accompany you in the next day, so don't worry."

After hearing what Tina said, Cheng Zhi stood there without moving, but he happened to meet Song Baiyi's eyes through the other teammates.

The next second, Cheng Zhi curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at Song Baiyi.

Then he spoke to Song Baiyi word by word, using his lip movements in small movements.

"good afternoon."

"It's hard work for you."

Because Cheng Zhi was sitting at the back, and everyone's attention was focused on Tina who was talking, so no one noticed what was happening between him and Song Baiyi.

At this time, Song Baiyi, who was sitting on a chair, happened to look at Cheng Zhi.

After noticing Cheng Zhi's little action, Song Baiyi, who had been expressionless just now, couldn't help but curl his eyes and looked at him with tenderness in his eyes.

As the team leader, Ning Meng walked forward and reported the progress of their dance to the instructors sitting in the front of the practice room.

"It's basically done. If you don't mind, we can dance it now for you, Teacher Tina."

Ning Meng's words successfully rescued a certain tutor named Song who had fallen into the land of gentleness.

Song Baiyi coughed twice unnaturally, then shifted his gaze away from Cheng Zhi.

"Well, then you guys just dance once."

After receiving Song Baiyi's instructions, Ning Meng organized the other three people to form a formation.

Cheng Zhi picked up the water cup, drank some water, and took a break.

Then he walked straight to the previously arranged seat.

While standing in formation, Tina pressed the play button for the music.

At the same time, the door of the practice room was pushed open from the outside.

Fang Qiao followed a staff member into the practice room to pick up something he had left behind.

The music had already started playing. When Tina saw Fang Qiao come in, she was afraid of disturbing other people dancing in the practice room, so she was about to press the pause button and let everyone start again after Fang Qiao left.

The next second, he was stopped by Song Baiyi.

"No need to stop, they won't be disturbed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prelude of the song ended.

The first sentence was Cheng Zhi's part. He looked up at the mirror, and happened to meet Fang Qiao's eyes through the mirror when he came in to get something.

After seeing clearly that the person coming was Fang Qiao, Cheng Zhi curled his lips towards him in a cheerful mood, his eyes and eyebrows showing his ridicule and disdain for him.

Fang Qiao stood there, watching the dance of his four former teammates in the mirror, without moving.

He ran back specially to get the things, partly because he saw the four of them looking panicked because someone in their position was missing.

But the result did not seem to be what he wanted.

The four people in the mirror have all changed their positions and parts, and no one's face shows any panic expression due to the missing person.

On the contrary, their expressiveness seems to be more than one level higher than before.

The four people cooperated with each other, and their movements and actions were all done in one go, smoothly and seamlessly, and there was absolutely no trace of the movements of five people.

The dance skills of the trainees who made it to this point must be good, and the top three in this vote are all together. Their looks and figures are such that they can debut right away as soon as they step onto the stage.

What's more, Cheng Zhi, Huo Shuhang and Ning Meng all have very high dancing skills.

Therefore, whether in terms of the rhythm framework or the grasp of the movements, he can be said to be at the top level among all the trainees.

Although each of their movements is the same, each has his or her own style and characteristics, which are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

The sneakers tapped out the same beat on the wooden floor, and no one's performance was lagging behind.

The music ends.

After not seeing the result he wanted, Fang Qiao's knuckles holding his water cup turned white.

A strong feeling of being redundant surged out of Fang Qiao's heart and surrounded him. He was about to escape in shame, but then he was stopped by Cheng Zhi who suddenly turned around.

Cheng Zhi's tone was a little funny, as if it was specially designed to make fun of him.

"Fang Qiao."

"As a former teammate, would you like to comment on the dance I just choreographed?"

Fang Qiao, who had come with the intention of watching the fun, was stunned. He was totally unprepared for the questions asked by Cheng Zhi.

After all, Fang Qiao had trained for a period of time, and he could see that the dance that Cheng Zhi modified after just three hours was already very good at this level.

But he still doesn't want to admit Cheng Zhi's excellence.

Fang Qiao paused, lowered his head to avoid Cheng Zhi's direct gaze and Cheng Zhi's straightforward questions.

"I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

Seeing Fang Qiao avoiding his question, Cheng Zhi smiled knowingly.

"Okay, take care."

As soon as Cheng Zhigang finished speaking, he saw Fang Qiao's back as he left dejectedly, and he was instantly satisfied.

Finally, I don't have to see some guys who shouldn't be here anymore.

Song Baiyi and Tina were very satisfied with their newly adapted dance moves in many aspects and couldn't find any problems with them.

After receiving praise from the mentors, the trainees' faces were filled with happy smiles.

But in order to keep them nervous about tomorrow's stage, Song Baiyi still sat in the front row with a stern face and let them continue training.

"You guys should dance it a few more times to get familiar with it, and you can also practice each person's solo part separately."

After hearing what Song Baiyi said, everyone stood back obediently and then closed their eyes in front of the mirror several times.

After making sure that the overall look was fine, each of them trained their solo parts.

Cheng Zhi found a corner where he could see Song Baiyi through the mirror, and then began to practice his movements.

At this time, Song Baiyi, who was sitting on a chair, was apparently observing the movements of all the contestants in the practice room, but in fact he was observing Cheng Zhi's movements with his peripheral vision.

Then wait for Cheng Zhineng to make a mistake and then go over to correct him.

Unfortunately, a certain dancing machine would never make such a small mistake as doing the wrong moves, so Song Baiyi stared at it for a long time but couldn't find a chance to contact Cheng Zhi for a long time.

After a while, Cheng Zhi slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and then deliberately made a mistake in the simplest and most basic wave.

Song Baiyi had sharp eyes and he caught this quickly.

Then he put his clothes in place, stood up and walked towards Cheng Zhi.

As they walked, he pretended to be natural and said to Cheng Zhi: "You just...didn't do one of the moves very well."

When Cheng Zhi saw Song Baiyi coming over as he wished, he hummed.

"Teacher Song, is this the movement?"

After saying that, Cheng Zhi made a wave without any care, and every detail was not in line with his current level.

From Song Baiyi's perspective, Cheng Zhi had a very innocent look on his face and gently twisted his waist in front of him.

The fragrance of Cheng Zhi's body came to Song Baiyi's nose along with his movements, and his collar moved slightly with his movements just now, revealing his fair and delicate skin.

Song Baiyi hummed and moved his gaze away from the exposed skin on Cheng Zhi's neck.

Then he said calmly: "Your wave is not standard."

After saying that, he slowly approached Cheng Zhi and put his hand on Cheng Zhi's lower back.

"Your waist is uncomfortable? Doing the wave means twisting your waist?"

Hearing Song Baiyi's words, Cheng Zhi felt the corner of his mouth twitch.

Tsk, a man who doesn't understand romance.

Cheng Zhi was wearing thin clothes, so he could clearly feel that Song Baiyi's hand on his lower back was a little hot.

Although Cheng Zhi liked the heat coming from his lower back, his skin was sensitive, so he couldn't help but move forward.

And this dodging just happened to bring him closer and closer to Song Baiyi's arms.

Cheng Zhiqiang suppressed the itch, leaned close to Song Baiyi's ear, and told him the real purpose of calling him over this time.

"Don't worry about Huo Shuhang. He didn't recognize me, and I told him not to talk about it..."

Song Baiyi smiled dotingly, thinking that even if Huo Shuhang talked nonsense everywhere, he would have a way to make him shut up.

But he still didn't say anything and just hummed softly.

"Don't think too much now, just focus on training."

After Song Baiyi finished speaking, he had some evil thoughts and hugged Cheng Zhi into his arms, saying that he was teaching him the moves.

Cheng Zhi was so angry at Song Baiyi's dishonest behavior that he wanted to resist, but his legs were now a little weak.

So Cheng Zhi could only get closer to Song Baiyi and complain to him in a low voice.

"Hey, Mr. Song. Wave is not about moving your waist, so why are you putting your hands on my waist..."

Huo Shuhang, who was concentrating on training nearby, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Song Baiyi and Cheng Zhizheng leaning against each other.

Huo Shuhang rubbed his eyes, and for a moment he felt that Cheng Zhi's figure seemed to be about 70% similar to the figure he had just seen in the corridor being held in Song Baiyi's arms.

Huo Shuhang frowned in disbelief and rubbed his eyes.

Then he walked to Ning Meng who was training nearby and reached out to pull the corner of his clothes.

"Hello, Ning Meng."

Ning Meng stopped what he was doing after hearing Huo Shuhang calling him.

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble again?"

"Um...something happened."

When Huo Shuhang spoke, there was a hint of hesitation in his tone.

His eyes dodged left and right, then slowly moved closer to Ning Meng's ear.

In a low voice, he said, "That's right. I want to ask you something. Do you think Cheng Zhi...does he look like a woman?"

“…”

Ning Meng looked at Cheng Zhi who was discussing the action with Song Baiyi, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Huo Shuhang.

Then he spoke lightly.

"I think there's something wrong with your brain."
