Tang Beibei turned her head and saw Fu Jin and Ruan Qi. She smiled and waved at them.
Fu Jin walked up to Tang Beibei and greeted Song Kai with a smile. âSenior Song Kai, good afternoon.â
Song Kai stared at him and found him familiar. âAnd you are?â
âSenior Song Kai is too busy to remember me. Iâm Fu Jin. Iâm too average looking and not as outstanding as Beibei, so itâs my fault that you donât remember me.â Fu Jin teased with a smile.
Song Zhou frowned. Fu Jin.
He had once pursued Tang Beibei, but Lu Fan had beat him to it and rejected him on Tang Beibeiâs behalf.
âWhere are you guys going?â
Before Tang Beibei could say anything, Fu Jin said, âBeibei and 1 are going to dance practice. Time is tight, so I wonât be chatting with Senior Song Kai. Letâs go Beibei.â
Tang Beibei nodded and said goodbye to Song Kai.
âIâve joined Fu Jinâs dance troupe and we train whenever we have time. Senior
Song Kai, thank you for just now. See you.â
Song Kai knew that Tang Beibei liked to dance but he didnât know that she had joined a dance troupe.
The words he wanted to say had been interrupted, and he couldnât continue. He could only say goodbye to Tang Beibei.
But he kept feeling that Fu Jin was hostile towards him. Could he still be interested in Tang Beibei and was using dance as an excuse to get close to her?
This kid was obviously not a good person.
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi got into Fu Jinâs car, and Ruan Qi asked Tang Beibei, âWhy are you talking to Senior Song Kai? Heâs already engaged to Lu Linlin.â
Tang Beibei explained the whole Xin Wei matter. âSenior Song Kai helped me. We just chatted briefly.â
Fu Jin, who was driving, looked at the innocent-looking girl and probed, âBeibei, what if Senior Song Kai told you that he likes you? What would you do?â
Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds before she said, âWhy would Senior Song Kai like me? Is this a lame joke?â
Ruan Qi facepalmed herself. Sigh, Tang Beibei was truly a top student with low EQ. The whole world could see that Song Kai was interested in her but she was clueless.
Fu Jin continued, âThen letâs assume that he likes you. What would you do if he confessed to you?â
Tang Beibei found Fu Jinâs question very strange. âWhy would we assume that? Iâm average looking, average in my studies, and I donât have any special traits. How can I be likable?â
âSong Kai isnât blind. How could he like me?â
âBesides, Iâm already married. Itâs not good to make such jokes.â
ââ¦â Fu Jin was stumped.
She didnât look average at all. She had a delicate little face and a mouth that curled into a crescent when she smiled. She had a very heart-warming smile.
She was the top student in her year. To be able to achieve that in the medical school of A-University, which was packed with talented youngsters, was no easy feat.
Also, she was innocent, kind, and pure. She was easy to be friends with. That was her power.
This woman never knew how cute and attractive she was.
Ruan Qi quickly tried to end the awkwardness, âFu Jin is just joking with you. Hahaha, this joke isnât funny at all. Letâs talk about what we were taught yesterday. Have you been practicing? I heard the teacher say that thereâll be a test today.â
Tang Beibei sighed. âI practiced last night, but I kept feeling that I didnât dance well, like something was missing. I donât know what though.â
Ruan Qi swallowed twice. âSo, you can do the whole dance we were taught yesterday?â
âYes.â
Ruan Qi clammed up and scratched her head in frustration. Being friends with a top student was torturous.
Fu Jin looked at Ruan Qiâs dejected expression. As a gentleman, he smiled and comforted her. âItâs okay. 1 canât do the whole dance either.â
Ruan Qi finally found a little comfort. She was going to say that she would practice in the classroom later, but Tang Beibei said, âFu Jin is the captain, so he wonât be tested. Heâs like half a teacher to us. It wonât be a big deal if he doesnât pass the test, but if we donât, weâll get a bad review.â
â⦠Pfft.â
Ruan Qi felt like she had been punched in the stomach to the point of spitting blood.
Fu Jin chuckled helplessly. âBeibei, some things donât have to be said so clearly.â
âOh.â
Fu Jin was the boss, so she had to listen to him. She also told Ruan Qi not to seek comfort from Fu Jin.
âThis is my tragedy!â Ruan Qi felt a strong sense of sadness.
When they arrived at the dance studio and changed, Ruan Qi put on her new sportswear and looked at Tang Beibeiâs clothes.
She suddenly understood why Jiang Jingchen had bought her new dance gear.
Usually, when they practiced, they wore cropped tops which revealed their bellies, but Tang Beibeiâs new dance gear was very conservative.
Tsk, what a scheming man.
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi both passed the test.
However, the teacher didnât only score them for each test, but also give them a rating.
They were rated A, B, or C.
The ratings would affect the number of appearances they would make in commercial events later in their career. The ratings were also used as an entry criterion for some larger events.
Tang Beibei was rated A and Ruan Qi got a C.
When Tang Beibei saw the results, she frowned slightly and comforted Ruan Qi, âThis isnât your forte. Youâll definitely do better in your forte dances.â
Ruan Qi pursed her lips and looked at Tang Beibei pitifully.
âTop student, itâs really stressful to be friends with you. I didnât feel it when I was studying with you in the past. But you are also so good at dancing.â
Tang Beibei scratched her head. âI practiced until eleven oâclock last night. I asked my husband to video record me. I studied the video recording repeatedly to find my flaws and fix them. Thatâs how 1 improved.â
Ruan Qi sighed. âSo, I didnât do well in the test because 1 donât have a husband to video record me. I did badly in the test, and I still had to endure you flaunting your love life. Where is the justice in this world?â
Tang Beibei didnât know what to say.
There were only two students who were rated A this time: Tang Beibei and Ye Lan.
The teacher continued with classes. Today, they were going to learn a jazz dance.
After two hours of practice, everyone was perspiring profusely.
However, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qiâs sweat was absorbed by their clothes. Ruan Qi tugged at her new clothes and said to Tang Beibei, âIâll leave with you tonight.â
âOkay.â
When the two of them walked out of the dance studio, Song Zhouâs car had already arrived downstairs.
Ruan Qi sighed. âButler Song, youâre really punctual.â
Song Zhou chuckled. âThis is the least I can do as a butler. If I make Young Madam wait any longer, it will be my fault.â
Tang Beibei waved her hand in embarrassment. âSong Zhou, donât be so anxious. If you are busy, itâs very convenient for me to take the subway home from here.â
Song Zhou didnât want to argue with her. If he didnât pick her up, would his young master spare him?
Ruan Qi said, âActually, I wanted to thank you. Song Zhou, thank you for the clothes. 1 really like them!â
Song Zhou wanted to say that it was just a by-the-way gift, but seeing how happy the young girl was, he just said, âAs long as you like them.â
Back at the villa, Tang Beibei had dinner and went upstairs to read. Jiang Jingchen had a video conference and didnât want to disturb her, so he went to the bedroom.
When Tang Beibei went downstairs to drink water, she didnât see Jiang Jingchen but Wen Nan. She asked curiously where her husband was.
Wen Nan wanted to roll her eyes. Her husband whereabouts and she was asking her?
She suppressed her anger and asked, âBeibei, you still donât know that Mr. Chenâs legs have recovered, right?â
Tang Beibeiâs eyes widened in surprise.â My husbandâs legs have recovered?â
âOops, you still donât know?â Wen Nan seemed to have said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth. âI thought you knew since Mr. Chen saved you when you were injured last time..â
