Chapter 153 - Why Are You Dancing in Front of

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the next moment, Mo Shenbai dragged Xu Youyou out.

The other man: “…”

On the stage, Lin Zhihuan was all on all fours like a dog as tears streamed down her face. Under the crowd’s urging, she was forced to bark like a dog.

Su Lanxu, who was watching the spectacle, was very happy. She was about to say something to Xu Youyou when she realized Xu Youyou was gone. “Youyou? Eh?”

Su Lanxu looked around, trying to find Xu Youyou.

Bo Qi knew Su Lanxu came with Xu Youyou so he said, “Stop looking. She was taken away long ago.”

“Oh,” Su Lanxu replied before she looked at the stage and said gloatingly, “Serves you right! You really deserve this!”

Bo Qi glanced at Su Lanxu, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, “Xu Youyou is so cute and innocent. How did she become friends with you?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Su Lanxu asked as she looked at Bo Qi from the corners of her eyes.

Bo Qi thought for a moment before he said, “You’re a little spitfire. Both of your personalities are very different.”

Su Lanxu crossed her arms and said, “What do you know? Our different personalities complement each other. She’s so kind and soft so she needs a fierce friend to protect her.”

Bo Qi looked at the confidence on Su Lanxu’s face and fell into a daze. It was as though he could see the shadow of another woman on her. When he regained his senses, he shook his head and thought to himself angrily, ‘Damn it! Why did I think of that heartless woman again?’

…

Xu Youyou let Mo Shenbai pull her out of the bar. After exiting the bar, he pulled her into the alley. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her, venting his exasperation.

“It hurts…”

It did not feel like he was kissing her. More like he was biting her. He was like a predator, biting his prey. His actions were domineering and cruel.

Xu Youyou had no idea that kisses could be like that as well. Tears welled up in her eyes, and an aggrieved expression appeared on her face.

Mo Shenbai panted slightly as he pulled away. He inhaled deeply as he stared at her lips. He felt slightly distressed, but the feeling was overwhelmed by his possessiveness.

“Didn’t I say you’re not allowed to dance in front of other men?”

‘Is she trying to drive me crazy by dancing in front of so many men?’

“Lin Zhihuan provoked me first,” Xu Youyou said softly with a hint of anger, “I can’t let people bully me all the time, can I?”

“Who dares to bully you in Blue Temptation?”

Blue Temptation was the name of Bo Qi’s bar.

Xu Youyou naturally knew what he meant. She said stubbornly, “They’re bullying me. I can’t rely on you and Bo Qi all the time, right? It’ll be like the fox taking advantage of the tiger’s might.”

“Fox?” Mo Shenbai chuckled, amused. “You think you’re a fox? You’re more like a little rabbit. You’re always complaining that it hurts. You’re so delicate…”

Xu Youyou’s face turned red immediately when she heard the meaning behind his words. She stammered, “That, that…”

Xu Youyou looked so adorable at this moment that Mo Shenbai’s unhappiness was immediately swept away. He lowered his head and whispered, “Then, should I be gentler?”

Xu Youyou replied softly. “Mm.”

Mo Shenbai held the back of her head and kissed her again. Then, he rubbed the tip of his nose against her as he said in a low and slightly pleading voice, “Don’t dance in a bar again, okay?

Xu Youyou was dizzy from his kisses, and her mind was blank. She did not hear his words clearly but she still nodded in a daze. At this time, even if Mo Shenbai sold her, she would still foolishly help him count the money.

…

In the bar.

Lin Yin could only watch helplessly as Mo Shenbai brought Xu Youyou away. After all, the other party was her husband.

At this time, after barking like a dog, Lin Zhihuan rushed down the stage. She did not even care to pick up her shoes and stumbled out of the bar.

Lin Yin picked his sister’s shoes up and followed her out.

Bo Qi, who was at the side, instructed the manager in a neutral tone, “Take a good look at them. In the future, don’t just allow any Tom, Dick, and Harry into Blue Temptation. It’ll only spoil my mood.”

“Yes,” the manager hurriedly replied.

Lin Yin’s footsteps paused for a moment, and he turned to look at Bo Qi with a complex expression as he sized Bo Qi up.

Bo Qi allowed Lin Yin to size him up as he smiled disdainfully. He would not allow someone who wanted to poach his brother’s wife into Blue Temptation.

After a moment, Lin Yin turned around wordlessly and left.

Su Lanxu, who witnessed everything, gave Bo Qi a thumbs-up and said, “Awesome!”

Bo Qi smiled and said modestly, “It’s nothing.”

…

The next day.

After class, Su Lanxu looked for Xu Youyou with barely-contained excitement. She recounted the story of Lin Zhihuan barking like a dog on stage.

Then, Su Lanxu switched the topic and brought out her phone to show Xu Youyou a video before she said, “Youyou, you’re going to be famous.”

The video showed Xu Youyou singing and dancing, and it had been posted only. There was also a video of Bai Qingyu’s performance as a comparison.

Many people praised Bai Qingyu for being sexy and beautiful, but there were many more who liked Xu Youyou. All of them praised her for being cute and beautiful, wondering if she was a trainee from an entertainment company. They wanted her to quickly debut if so.

The lights in the bar were dim, and the video was quite shaky. Hence, it was not particularly clear, and people would not be able to recognize it was her immediately.

After putting her phone away, Su Lanxu looked at Xu Youyou and said, “I think you should think about it. There’s no one as cute as you in the entertainment industry. You’ll definitely be popular.”

Xu Youyou was not moved at all. “I’m not interested in joining the entertainment industry.”

“I know, I know, You’re only interested in painting and drawing,” Su Lanxu said.

Xu Youyou quickly corrected Su Lanxu. “That’s not right. I used to be only interested in painting and drawing, but now I’m interested in Mo Shenbai as well…”

“…”

‘She’s really trying to kill a single person like me!’

After a moment, Su Lanxu asked curiously, “Hey, how come you were so confident about defeating Bai Qingyu? Did you know Mo Shenbai would come?”

Xu Youyou shook her head. Something flashed in her eyes as she said, “I didn’t he’d come. If I say that I dreamed about what happened beforehand, will you believe me?”

It was true that Xu Youyou did not expect Mo Shenbai to come. She also did not know Lin Yin would vote for her. In her dream, she did not even see her opponent clearly. When she woke up, she only remembered that she had won.

Su Lanxu looked at Xu Youyou speechlessly before she asked, “Then, did you dream about when you’ll sleep with Mo Shenbai?”

Xu Youyou’s ears were burning as she pursed her lips, remaining silent.

‘I won’t tell you even if I dream about it!’

Su Lanxu knew Xu Youyou was easily embarrassed so she did not continue teasing Xu Youyou. She changed the topic and said, “It’s really strange. Did Lin Yin take the wrong medicine yesterday? He actually voted for you.”

Xu Youyou also found Lin Yin strange. However, before she could reply, someone called out to her from outside the classroom.

“Xu Youyou, Teacher Kang wants to see you!”

“Got it. Thank you,” Xu Youyou said. As she packed her things into her bag, she said to Su Lanxu, “I’m going to see Teacher Kang now. I won’t be having dinner with you tonight since Mo Shenbai is coming for dinner. I have to go back early.”

Su Lanxu: “…”

…

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Come in.”

Xu Youyou opened the door.

Kang Mingcheng, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at Xu Youyou and said, “Sit.”

Xu Youyou walked over and took a seat before she asked, “Why are you looking for me, Teacher Kang?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Have you heard about the Golden Brush Competition?”

“Yes.” Xu Youyou nodded.

The Golden Brush Competition was a competition for art students of all kinds across the country with no restrictions on age.

Every year, the winner would be recommended by the Art Association to study abroad. Most of them became really famous modern artists later. All art students dreamed about winning the competition and becoming famous.

“I submitted your work previously, and you’ve passed the preliminary rounds,” Kang Mingcheng said. He showed Xu Youyou the brochure of the Golden Brush Competition before he continued to say, “This is the competition’s information and process. The rules are also listed here. Take it and have a good look when you’re home. You have to perform well during the finals and win.”
