"I just happened to come here for something, so I brought something to you."
Zhou Lie handed over the bag in his hand, "This is what mom bought for you this morning. She said it's getting hot and it will go bad if you keep it for too long. She told me to remember to bring it to you. When you're resting, just bring it with you..."
As he spoke, he naturally glanced into the room. The moment his eyes met Bai Jing, he paused.
When Bai Jing saw him looking at her, she nodded slightly as a greeting.
Zhou Lie looked at Shu Xiaoruan again, his eyes clearly asking her why she was here.
Shu Xiaoruan's face turned slightly red. She said that her previous partner had something to do and could not participate in the performance and complete the program, and Bai Jing came to help at her request.
After hearing the reason, Zhou Lie nodded and said "Hmm", hesitating for two seconds before answering, "Then I won't disturb you from practicing for now. I'll come and pick you up later."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Jing, nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Shu Xiaoruan closed the door gently, walked to Bai Jing with the bag, took out a piece of cake from it, and gave half of it to Bai Jing.
"Let's eat something before we continue!"
...
...
Bai Jing now understood why the partner in the original text fell in love with the male lead all of a sudden.
Not only does he have a heroic appearance, a tall stature, and a sense of security, but his tone is gentle when he speaks to the heroine. He even brought some exquisite and beautiful desserts that didn't look cheap at first glance. He is obviously a good man.
But Bai Jing knows best how hypocritical the male protagonist is towards the female protagonist and other people.
Besides, her mind is on another person, so it is impossible for her to have any other ideas.
He thanked her politely and shared half of his tea with Xiaoruan, and the two of them had a pleasant tea time.
When they were almost done resting, they prepared to rehearse again to see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly opened the door and walked in, shouting in a thin voice that sounded sharp and shrill.
"Shu Xiaoruan! I heard that you just found someone to replace me?!"
The sound hurt Bai Jing's eardrums so much that she frowned slightly and her eyes fell on the person who came.
It was a girl of about their age, with pretty features and one arm bandaged in front of her. She was probably the partner that Shu Xiaoruan mentioned who had an accident and couldn't go on stage.
The other person also saw Bai Jing and found that she was even more beautiful than he had imagined, especially her beautiful eyes. When she stood forward, it was as if she had her own spotlight, and people could not help but shift their gaze to her.
"Xiao Hui?" Shu Xiaoruan came over quickly and explained, "I didn't just pick her randomly. Jingjing is my..."
The girl called Xiaohui looked at Bai Jing and chuckled, "I've heard about it. She's your friend in class, right? I heard she's a good student. Has she ever danced before? How much time do you have to practice basic dance skills? You don't think you can take this opportunity to skip the assessment and join our team, right?"
This person not only had a shrill voice, but also spoke very fast. Before Shu Xiaoruan could react, she had already spoken a long string of words.
But when it comes to the latter part, it is obvious that he is not being polite.
Shu Xiaoruan has a gentle personality and doesn't like to argue with others, but Bai Jing has always treated her well. This time, she even agreed to help her and spent precious time practicing.
Hearing his friend being slandered, he was of course a little angry and directly called out the other person's name.
"Wang Hui, you don't know anything at all, so don't talk nonsense!"
As soon as this name came out, Bai Jing's guess was confirmed.
It turned out to be the former partner who had performed with the heroine, and in the original text had a good impression of the hero, and even said that he didn't mind the three of them being together.
Bai Jing's eyes couldn't help but be a little subtle.
Wang Hui wanted to argue with Shu Xiaoruan, but she noticed Bai Jing's gaze and frowned, saying in a bad tone, "What do you mean by that look?"
Bai Jing blinked her eyes, her gaze returned to a clear and calm state, and her tone sounded very sincere, "You must have seen it wrong, I didn't mean anything."
Wang Hui wanted to say something, but Shu Xiaoruan stopped her first, "Comrade Wang Hui, since your hand is injured, you still need to rest more. I will take care of the program, and Sister Yu will also review it, so you don't have to worry about it."
After hearing Shu Xiaoruan bring up the captain, Wang Hui finally stopped dwelling on the matter, but she didn't plan to leave either. She said she wanted to stay and watch them rehearse, so she could give some pointers and correct their movements.
She sat down on the stool. Shu Xiaoruan couldn't just pick up the person and throw him out, so she looked at Bai Jing unconsciously.
Bai Jing glanced over there calmly, her tone also calm.
"She can watch it if she wants, it's okay."
Since Bai Jing said so, Shu Xiaoruan nodded, walked to the radio and pressed a button to let the tape play music.
After that, the two of them seemed to completely ignore her and performed the dance in its entirety.
Wang Hui originally wanted to find some faults, but there was nothing wrong with their performance at all.
The two of them cooperated well with each other, their movements were precise and smooth, and they also grasped the rhythm very well, and their performance was perfect.
His mouth opened and closed at this moment, but his mind was blank and he couldn't say a word of no.
No, where did Shu Xiaoruan find this guy? Why didn't he have any fame before?
She believed that even if she had not been injured, she would not be able to dance better than this "outsider"!
But that person still looked relaxed and at ease, as if it was just an ordinary performance.
Wang Hui felt a sense of crisis.
...Once this show comes out, will the team take the opportunity to recruit her and then let me leave since my performance is not as good as hers?
Thinking of this, the expression on Wang Hui's face became more solemn, her eyes shifted between the two of them, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, she stood up from her seat and walked out without saying hello to the two of them.
Bai Jing saw her leave, but didn't care too much. It was just that after the previous round, she felt that she could still change a few connecting movements. Now she came to Shu Xiaoruan and discussed with her in a low voice.
"is that so?"
Shu Xiaoruan followed Bai Jing's idea and tried to dance. "...I feel it will be more entertaining than before, but it will also be more difficult. I'm afraid I'll get nervous and fail to keep the beat. That will be terrible."
"Don't worry," Bai Jing smiled, "Just practice a dozen times and it will become muscle memory."
