The competition was in full swing and very intense.
The emcee invited Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi onstage, so the two of them walked to the stage entrance.
Tang Beibei reminded Ruan Qi, âRemember, itâs revenge for stealing your man. We must act it out.â
Ruan Qi clutched her heart. âPlease donât say that anymore. My heart hurts when you say that.â
The two of them went onstage; the name of their dance was âChange of Heart.â
Their music started and Tang Beibei danced happily holding a music box. She looked pure and innocent. Suddenly, Ruan Qi knocked into her and the music box broke.
Tang Beibei glared at Ruan Qi sadly and demanded compensation, but Ruan Qi refused and even kicked away the music box.
This was the beginning of their conflict.
The two of them quarreled and were at loggerheads.
Their eyes were sharp, their faces were resentful as they readied themselves to fight at any moment. They both wanted to trample the other party under their feet.
The two of them then transformed into demons and bared their fangs. The demons were agitated and wanted to devour each other. It was very similar to when two people argued, they raised their voices as they tried to out-talk each another.
There were many small conflicts in life. Some of them could be unintentional mistakes, some of them could be misunderstandings. When unfamiliar people met and interacted with each other, they would always go through a period of adjustment.
At the beginning of the adjustment period, everyone would stick to their own opinions and expect the other party to apologize.
A clap of thunder rang out, and the two of them swapped roles.
When they put themselves in the personâs shoes, their perspective would change, and they would realize that they didnât know the other personâs truth before.
The arrogance and willfulness they had before instantly turned into doubt and then understanding.
Seeing the other personâs attitude change, Ruan Qi picked up the music box and returned it to her.
She didnât realize that she had broken someoneâs music box when she kicked it away. Tang Beibei understood the situation now and took the music box from Ruan Qi.
The two of them shook hands and became friends.
The music transitioned to something fast and the two girls danced a fast-paced rumba. It was a passionate song, and the two of them happily immersed themselves in it.
Their dance was slow in the beginning and fast at the end. There was hatred in the beginning and love at the end. The contrast was stark, but the transition wasnât abrupt. It felt very special.
We all dealt with interpersonal relationships since young. Whether it was with friends, lovers, or our parents, we had to be sincere in our interactions to understand each other and get along.
This was a very complex subject, but it was expressed in such a playful way by the two young girls. When the music stopped, everyone applauded excitedly.
A good piece of work could only be chanced upon.
A good and interesting piece of work was something even more unexpected.
The two young girls quarreled with classical dance on stage and expressed harmony using the fast-paced rumba. Their performance made people want to dance with them.
The applause lasted for a long time before it stopped for the three judges to vote.
The three judges were about to speak when they heard the director through their earphones and looked at Tang Beibei with strange expressions.
Freelance dancer judge, Cheng Jian, chuckled.
âYouâve won me over with your abilities. I really like your creativity. I hope to see more of your work on stage in the future. My vote goes to you.â
The choreographer judge, Xu Feng, sighed and raised the voting paddle he was holding.
âI felt like Iâve just watched a big battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Many conflicts in life can be resolved if we put ourselves in each otherâs shoes to gain perspective and eventually earn each otherâs respect.â
âYour dancing has improved. Itâs only been a week, and youâve choreographed and rehearsed your work to such high quality. I have no doubt that Iâll see you on television often in the future! You have my vote!â
The dance teacher judge, Mu Zhi, picked up her microphone after a long time. She didnât look pleased when she said perfunctorily, âNot bad. You have my vote too.â
âThankyou, teachers!â
Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi looked at each other, smiled, and bowed to the audience before they danced offstage.
After the two of them finished their performance, they went to the audience area to watch Jin Zhao and Jia Ranâs performance.
Ruan Qi sat next to Fu Jin. When she saw Song Zhou in the audience, she was about to smile when she saw a woman beside him. It was Mi Qing.
Her smile froze.
Song Zhou stood up and wanted to talk to her, but Mi Qing held his arm. She leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly, âBrother Song Zhou, Iâm a little tired.â
Song Zhou pushed her head away. âRest if youâre tired. Donât lean on me. There are so many people watching. Arenât you afraid that people will discover that youâre a celebrity?â
âIâm not afraid of being seen with you. At most, Iâll them who you are.â
âDonât you have to consider your fansâ feelings?â
A few years ago, Song Zhou had thought about going public with their relationship, but Mi Qing had always said that as a celebrity, she had to consider the feelings of her fans. Otherwise, she would lose her fans.
Song Zhou gave in to her and never asked again.
Now that he was in love with Ruan Qi, he couldnât let Mi Qing go public with that nonsense.
He looked up at Ruan Qi and said, âMiss Ruan, you danced really well.â
Ruan Qiâs lips twitched. âYou donât have to tell me how good I am.â
Song Zhou knew that she was angry and felt bad.
Mi Qing tried to lean on Song Zhou again. He tried to push her away, but she hugged him coquettishly and refused to let go.
Mi Qing even said with a smile, âYour choreography is quite interesting. There are fast and slow movements, and the conflict between the two dancers was also interesting. However, your rumba could be better. Mrs. Chen, I can teach you.â
Tang Beibei chuckled, thanked her politely, and sat down next to Jiang Jingchen.
Their dance was directed by Fu Jin and had received pointers from other professional dance teachers. It wasnât too good or too bad.
Mi Qing smiled at Tang Beibei and asked, âMrs. Chen, are you interested in becoming an artiste? I know many people in the entertainment industry. I can introduce them to you.â
Tang Beibei dug her ears and asked in confusion, âItâs quite noisy here. I didnât hear what you said. Mi Qing, what did you say?â
âI said, if you want to become an artiste, I know many friends and I can introduce them to you. We can hang out together and become best friends.â
âOh,â Tang Beibei replied and asked Jiang Jingchen, âHubby, should I become an artiste?â
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Mi Qing and sneered. âMy wife is capable and beautiful. She doesnât need someone to pull strings for her. Some people should know their limits and not embarrass themselves!â
Mi Qingâs face turned red in embarrassment after she was mocked. A sinister glint flashed across her eyes.
Ruan Qi chuckled. No matter how many tricks Mi Qing had, none of them would work on Tang Beibei.
With Jiang Jingchenâs help, it was simply too satisfying to see this Mi Qing insulted!
Next up was Jin Zhao and Jia Ranâs dance.
The two of them did an excerpt from the ballet Romeo and Juliet.
Ruan Qi asked teasingly, âFu Jin, have you seen Romeo and Juliet at the Grand Theater?â
Fu Jin thought for a few seconds. âNo.â
âI was the prima-ballerino, so I never got a chance to watch the entire ballet live.â
This big shotâs dances sold for tickets. They were not worthy of being associated with him at all!
Tang Beibei gulped. Fu Jin was indeed very capable. He was so young, but he had already performed as the prima-ballerino at the Grand Theater. There was no doubt that Fu Jin was a very established dancer.
Ruan Qi couldnât appreciate ballet very well, so she asked Fu Jin, âThen how are they doing?â
