âDonât worry, Iâll pretend that I donât know you well. If my family asks about you, Iâll tell them that youâre so pretty that even Xiaosi got attracted by you,â he said.
âDo what you like...â Luosang honestly didnât know what else to say.
...
At six after dinner, Luosang began preparing for the Christmas show in the dancing room with a few classmates of hers.
After the first rehearsal, Luosang felt that their performances werenât good enough.
âShui Chang, your rap was fluent, but not natural enough, and you looked a little stiff. And Zhang Yang, you missed two dance steps just now,â she said.
âIâm sorry, Iâll do better next time.â Zhang Yang rubbed his hair embarrassedly.
âWhy did you apologize?â asked Shui Chang. âOur part is the most difficult part.â
âBut you two are playing the most important two roles in the show,â Luosang reminded her blandly.
âYou chose the roles yourselves. Youâre playing a big part, so itâll surely be a little difficult. If youâre gonna rehearse with that attitude, Iâll have no choice but to replace you with Yao Yueyue.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou...Donât cross the line.â Shui Chang stomped her foot and said, âDonât think you can do anything you want because Professor Li put you in charge. Iâm highly valued by Professor Li too. Itâs just my grade is slightly lower than yours.â
âAlright, stop fighting. Weâre all doing this for our department. Shui Chang, Luosang didnât point out just your mistakes; she gave advice to all of us. Plus, she has keen eyes. She can easily spot our flaws. None of us can do as well as she does.â Yuan Zichu kindly tried to mediate the dispute.
âYeah, help her. Everyone knows that she has a rich boyfriend,â Shui Chang pouted.
The others all felt a little embarrassed. Yao Yueyue hurriedly brought some drinks and said, âCome on, letâs have a drink and take a break.â
âZichu, you bought us drinks again. Youâre nice. Iâll buy it next time,â Lei Yu smiled and said.
âItâs nothing. These ones arenât expensive anyway.â Yuan Zichu glanced at Luosang and gave her a smile.
Five minutes later, they finished the drinks. Luosang stood up and said, âLetâs rehearse again.â
âCanât we rest a little longer?â Shui Chang pouted and asked.
âShui Chang, letâs show some respect to Luosang,â said Zhang Yang. âShe still needs prepare for the emceeâs speech at night.â
âI only have a few lines. Iâll do two full rehearsals with you all, then you guys can continue without me,â said Luosang. After rehearsal, she needed to draft the emceeâs speech for Ye Chuenâs birthday party.
âCome on, everybody. Get in position.â Yuan Zizhu stood up.
In the show, Luosang and Yuan Zichu were a couple. They wouldnât appear in many parts, but every time they would appear, they would be holding hands.
While performing the rap, Shui Chang suddenly got a glimpse of a handsome man through the window. The light was dim, but it outlined the manâs beautiful face, straight nose, and shiny eyes that looked like the eyes of a wolf hiding in the darkness.
Shui Changâs heart missed a beat, and her tongue trembled, so she messed up her line.
âShui Chang, you made worse mistakes than you made the last time,â Luosang turned back and saw that Shui Chang was looking at the window. While complaining, she turned to glance at the window. However, she saw nothing but a tree out there.
âWhat are you looking at?â she asked.
âI saw...a very handsome man...â before Shui Chang finished, the door of the dancing room was violently pushed open.
Nian Junting broke in with large steps. He was wearing a plaid suit, and he was angry.
