Chapter 86: Chapter 86 - 86: Yu Xiheng: You Want Me to Hug You? (2)

Translator: _Min_

The two trainees nodded and rushed out.

Lin Qingyan’s fingernails dug into her palm as she followed them.

A crowd had gathered outside Dance Room No. 2, a stark contrast to the empty Dance Room 1.

Si Fuqing had locked the door, allowing only her six trainees inside. The rest had to settle for peering through the glass windows.

Whispers filled the air.

“Damn, she really looks like that, she’s not wearing any makeup today.”

“I can totally understand why she’s been wearing makeup all this time. Who can handle looking at that kind of beauty every day?”

“She already looked gorgeous on screen, but seeing her in person is even more shocking.”

Most people aren’t photogenic, and celebrities usually look even better in real life than they do on camera.

At this moment, the trainees outside were somewhat envious of Xu Xiyun, who was undergoing one-on-one intense training with Si Fuqing.

Xu Xiyun wasn’t faring much better.

Struggling to maintain a challenging dance pose, his eyes kept darting upward.

“Stop staring. This is my real face,” Si Fuqing looked down at him. “I warned you, if you keep craning your neck like that, it’s going to snap.”

Xu Xiyun lost his balance and collapsed onto the floor.

Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow and bent down. “Young man, you’re not very resilient, are you?”

“You can’t be Teacher Si! Teacher Si couldn’t possibly be this good-looking,” Xu Xiyun buried his head in his hands and sobbed. “My worldview has been shattered! ”

He had been mentally prepared to comfort Si Fuqing today. Maybe if he flattered her well enough, he could even shave off a few kilometers from his running regimen.

But why did it turn out like this?

Xu Xiyun was utterly despondent.

“Amazing, you still have a worldview,” Si Fuqing clapped for him. “I thought you only had light and justice.”

Xu Xiyun: ‘

This world was truly unfriendly to him.

“Alright, continue practicing. I’ll step out for a moment,” Si Fuqing turned her head and saw Shi Yu still in a daze. “Your face is red; go wash it.”

Shi Yu snapped back to reality and quickly lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Teacher Si, I, I, I…

He felt a bit ashamed, not daring to lift his head, his heart pounding wildly.

“I get it, I get it,” Xu Xiyun had recovered his spirits, speaking carelessly. ‘With

Teacher Sits beauty, she’s unparalleled in the universe. Anyone would be mesmerized.”

Shi Yu felt even more awkward and grabbed a towel to cover his face.

Si Fuqing glanced up, her eyes sweeping over the dense crowd outside the dance room, locking precisely onto Lin Qingyan’s gaze.

Lin Qingyan hadn’t had the chance to withdraw the malice from her eyes when she saw the young woman step out.

Si Fuqing was dressed in a casual dance outfit today.

It wasnt any luxurious fabric, but it perfectly accentuated her figure.

She stood there, makeup-free, instantly relegating Lin Qingyan to the status of an ugly duckling.

Lin Qingyan involuntarily took a step back.

“Teacher Lin, what a coincidence,” Si Fuqing brushed a stray hair from her cheek. “Has your face not recovered yet?”

Lin Qingyan pursed her lips, “Teacher Si, you jest. Poison doesn’t heal that quickly. You don’t need to look.”

“True,” Si Fuqing nodded, “You’re not as good-looking as me, nor is your figure as good as mine. I truly don’t want to see you; my reflection is enough.”

With a resounding “bang,” she closed the door before Lin Qingyan could respond.

“Click. ”

The door was locked again.

The hallway fell silent.

Lin Qingyan felt as though all eyes had converged on her in that moment.

The scrutiny was piercing, as if intending to strip away all her defenses.

Suppressing the tremor in her voice, she tried to regain her composure, “What are you all still doing here? Go train! ”

But once she said that, Lin Qingyan could no longer hold back. Moisture gathered in her eyes, and she turned and fled.

When a mentor speaks, the trainees dare not linger. They dispersed.

“Let’s go, back to training.”

“Ah, I regret not signing up for Si Fuqing’s class from the beginning.”

“You were chosen by Teacher Li, how could you switch? Forget it; it’s not like we can’t see her.”

The trainees had mixed feelings.

And those who had initially asked to be removed from Si Fuqing’s class were now somewhat silent.

“Yan Yuanze,” someone finally broke the silence, “do you think we would have been better off if we had stayed?”

“You’re not regretting it, are you?” Yan Yuanze frowned, “Yes, Si Fuqing is beautiful, but what does that do for us?” Si Fuqing was once a talentless, ugly creature.

Now shés just a pretty face.

Not much ofan improvement.

“Anyway, I’m sticking with Teacher Lin,” Yan Yuanze said. “At least she has real skills to teach us. What can Si Fuqing teach?”

He had seen that odd dance move Xu Xiyun was practicing earlier.

Only Si Fuqing would teach something like that.

Yan Yuanze snorted coldly, returned to Dance Room 1, greeted Lin Qingyan, and began to practice.

Regret?

He certainly didn’t regret his decision.

In the performance the day after tomorrow, he would secure his ranking and move into the top fifty-one, ensuring he wouldn’t be eliminated.

As for the idiot Xu Xiyun, if he kept practicing with Si Fuqing, he’d be out sooner or later.

At six in the evening, Si Fuqing clocked out on time.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, she donned a mask, hat, and sunglasses, ensuring not a single feature was visible.

Yu Tang had said they would celebrate her reaching eight million fans with a dinner at Linjiang Pavilion.

Feng San had something to do at the last minute, so Si Fuqing volunteered to pick up Yu Xiheng from the villa.

Her hands gripped the steering wheel, and she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Excellent, she was finally touching a car again.

Si Fuqing stepped on the accelerator, her body instinctively ready to push the speed to the max.

Little Bai suddenly let out a yelp, bumping into her waist.

Si Fuqing promptly hit the brakes.

Right, she’d forgotten that her frail boss was also in the car.

For the sake of money, she couldn’t speed.

Little Bai nodded sagely.

To protect its golden bricks, it had to keep an eye on its dog owner at all times, ensuring she didn’t drive too fast.

After all, her driving skills were… genuinely terrifying.

‘I’mrty minutes later, tne car came to a stop.

Linjiang Pavilion was located in the middle of the lake, reachable only on foot. This was the only area where cars could be parked.

The surrounding environment was quiet, with only a few scattered couples sitting by the river.

Si Fuqing got out of the car and began to push Yu Xiheng’s wheelchair.

After walking just a few steps, she paused.

Seated in the wheelchair, Yu Xiheng also opened his eyes, his gaze as deep as the ocean.

“A lot of people are coming this way,” Si Fuqing’s ears twitched. “But their footsteps are messy and their bodies not graceful; it should be easy to deal with them.”

“Hmm,” Yu Xiheng closed his eyes briefly, “No less than twenty.”

More than the other night.

“Boss, sit here and enjoy the scenery,” Si Fuqing helped him into an empty chair. “I’ll be right back. Don’t worry, I’ll dutifully protect you.”

Little Bai looked eager.

Yes, it must protect its golden bricks!

Si Fuqing turned around, flexing her fingers.

While a large group was more troublesome, it wasn’t insurmountable, Finally, her skills as a bodyguard could come in handy!

She’d not fought for a while; her muscles needed some exercise.

Just as Si Fuqing took a step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

A chill emanated from the point of contact.

She paused, looking back.

Seeing Yu Xiheng looking up at her, his eyes unfathomable, Si Fuqing bent over, “Boss, is there anything else? Seems like another group is coming. You sure have a lot of enemies; I need to handle this quickly.”

She’d never been this hated before, even though she wasn’t being pursued and killed every day.

Yu Xiheng remained silent, just looking at her.

Then he raised his hand, gently covering her lips with a smile.

There was no contact, but Si Fuqing could feel the slight coolness of his palm.

The next second, he softly asked her, “You want me to hug you??”
