Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Zhen lazily raised her head. On the high platform, Qin Si was wearing a traditional white dance dress, with her feet bare. Her hair hung down to her waist and was tied up with a ribbon. The lights focused on her, making her look as beautiful as a mountain elf.
Her sleeves fluttered as she jumped, leaped, and bent down. Every movement was done to the extreme. Her soft body seemed to have no bones, making the male students squirm.
Qin Zhen watched the performance for a while before she lowered her head to play on her phone. Qin Si was beautiful, but she had no soul. From her point of view, Qin Si didn’t seem to be dancing, but more like she was showing off her skills. However, there was nothing much to say. Qin Si had always been such a person.
The leaders below the stage nodded repeatedly and praised her.
In the VIP seats, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue suit and glasses stared at Qin Si’s slender waist on the stage. He rubbed his palms with a strong interest in his eyes, “Go and check her family background.”
His assistant quickly followed his orders.
At the end of the song, everyone cheered and applauded even more enthusiastically.
“Thank you, everyone,” Qin Si bowed and left. The corners of her lips curled up, and she could not help but feel proud. On the same day of every year was her highlight. She hoped from years to come, nobody would ever forget her performance.
The next performance was from Class 28.
With Qin Si going before them, Du Juan and the others’ dance seemed somewhat unpresentable. Especially when they chose a dance that was not suitable for them, it seemed a little out of place.
Everyone was uninterested. From a professional point of view, the movements were not up to standard. In other aspects, nothing was interesting about it.
“Why did Du Juan and the others choose to cover this? It looks strange.” Jia Qing scratched his head, he didn’t understand the dance. Despite talking from an audience perspective, he was very intuitive.
Qu Shen’s dance was an interpretation of the depth of his soul. He used extreme movements to draw pictures in people’s minds, moving their hearts. Du Juan and the others couldn’t understand the essence of the dance. They were just superficially copying the movements, which was why people couldn’t understand the art.
This was also the reason why Qin Zhen said that they were not suitable for this dance. However, it was obvious that Du Juan did not take her advice at all.
After the dance ended, the applause was scattered and sparse.
Du Juan and the others got off the stage with red eyes. Looking at the audience’s reaction, they understood what was going on. They didn’t expect to fail so badly today.
The emcee went on stage and continued to read, “Please enjoy the next program. Class 28…” The emcee trailed off before coming to a stop. Because she noticed that there was a line added to the program list: Class 28, Qin Zhen, solo dance.
The emcee hesitated because she remembered that Qin Zhen had never participated in the rehearsal from the beginning to the end. Then why was her name on it? But today was such an important occasion, so no one dared to give a bad performance. The emcee didn’t think too much about it and thought that the school had probably planned this last minute.
She was only an emcee, so there was nothing to do but say whatever was written in the script, “Next, please enjoy the solo dance that Qin Zhen of Class 28 has prepared!”
Qin Zhen was now a celebrity in the school. When they heard her name being called, everyone immediately cheered. They were looking forward to her performance.
When the teacher in charge of the celebration heard Qin Zhen’s name, he was stunned and quickly flipped through the program list. Qin Zhen’s name was not even on the paper!
Jia Qing and the others frowned, their expression becoming dark. They were with Qin Zhen the whole day, and they knew she hadn’t signed up to participate in the performance. It was obvious that someone wanted to humiliate her! How could there be someone with so much mean intent?
Ji Yueyue also frowned and looked at Qin Zhen worriedly.
“Zhenzhen, what should we do now?” Jia Qing said worriedly.
“What else can we do? If I don’t go, they’ll think I’m scared,” Qin Zhen lazily stood up and walked backstage.
Meanwhile, backstage, the teacher was scolding the emcee.”What’s wrong with you? Qin Zhen didn’t sign up for the show. She didn’t even come to the rehearsal. Weren’t you there during the rehearsal? What are you thinking? Why did you call her name?”
“Sir, Qin Zhen’s name was added to my script. I thought it was arranged by the school…” The emcee said, feeling wronged.
“You!” The teacher was furious, but he knew that now was not the time to blame her. He saw Qin Zhen coming over from the corner of his eye and quickly said, “Qin Zhen, do you know how to dance? Forget it, I don’t care if you know it or not. Go up first and jump casually! Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility!”
