Chapter 303: How Could I Bare the Thought?
The employees finally stopped staring at him and indicated for the guy in charge of the music to start playing.
The moment the music started, everyone became mesmerized by the mysterious man's movements.
Jun Yexuan danced the first part of the dance skillfully. The moment he pulled on Qiao Qing's hand, the audience screamed.
Jun Yexuan led Qiao Qing and danced. Simultaneously, he asked, "Were you disappointed just now?"
Qiao Qing rolled her eyes and didn't answer.
"Qingqing, I'm so happy. I'm finally in your heart."
Qiao Qing continued to ignore him. Jun Yexuan didn't mind being the only one talking.
"My stupid girl, have you forgotten what I once said?"
"I would go crazy if you danced with other boys. How could I not come? How could I bear the thought?"
Qiao Qing asked, "Where is Ji Chen? What did you do to him?"
Jun Yexuan squinted his eyes. There was endless danger in his gaze as he held onto her waist, "You're worried about another man at a time like this?"
Qiao Qing said, "Don't be unreasonable. He's my classmate."
"He's also a man. A man who has poor intentions towards you," Jun Yexuan responded. "Whoever has bad thoughts towards you, even if it's a bean who learned how to talk, is my enemy!"
Qiao Qing, "..."
"But don't worry. After all, he's never done anything that crossed the line. I simply asked someone to teach him a lesson. His life isn't in danger. He can still pass down the family name."
Qiao Qing, "..."
The two of them whispered upstage while the audience discussed loudly downstage.
"Oh my god, that couple heals my eyes! I cannot divert my gaze away from those two!"
"This dance too! They are making it so sexy and so beautiful! Am I hallucinating? Those two look like they're professionals!"
"You're not hallucinating! I honestly thought it would be so awkward to watch those young people dance such an adult dance. I had no expectations coming in. But that couple amazes me!"
"You should compare their dancing to the others'. Then you'll know they're true professionals. That guy, in particular, makes great lines and shapes!"
"I can't even see the other couples right now. All my energy is on that one couple."
"That man's figure and dancing abilities are killing me. That girl's appearance is killing me. What kind of a match made in heaven is this?!"
"..."
Those young adult years are restless years. As the dance got more and more intimate, the screaming and yelling offstage got louder.
When the two finally performed the most intimate part of the dance, the screaming peaked. Everyone was screaming so loud the music couldn't even be heard.
"AHHHH! What did I just witness!"
"My face is red! First years sure know how to play!"
"My god! I now question my soul!"
"I love that couple!"
"In previous years, the best act had been our goddess Yi Shiqiong playing the zither. All the other acts were laughable. Who knew this year, the first act turned out to be so eye-catching!"
"I think this is far better than Yi Shiqiong playing the zither at the end of the show!!"
"..."
Yi Shiqiong heard what others had said and her face turned a shade darker, "Why would such an uncultured dance deserve so much praise?"
A girl nearby glared at her strangely, "Sis, you must live in an ancient society. Real tango is an international ballroom dance. Its unique selling point is its enthusiasm and intensity."
Chapter 304: My Face Is For My Wife's Eyes Only
"Plus, this dance doesn't even come close to how intimate real tango is. Everyone's an adult here. So what they're dancing with partners? Even if you don't know enough to appreciate it, you don't need to be so harsh."
"You... Do you know who she is? She's the famous-"
"It's okay." Yi Shiqiong interrupted Fu Siying, who wanted to fight for her. She simply glared at the girl who spoke and acted like she was too cool to fight.
Since Qi Yusen had seen those two practice many times, he was rather calm.
In the other corner, Feng Heng's face was now as dark as the bottom of a pan.
Qi Feng could clearly sense the freezing cold air emitted off of the Sect Leader's body. Without even realizing it, he shuddered. An ugly fight sure will break out after the performance.
Luo Chen sat in the audience and watched Qiao Qing without blinking. His classmate had an arm resting on his shoulder.
"Buddy, isn't she the girl who always hangs out with you? Can you introduce us?"
Luo Chen slapped him, "Go away! All of her pursuers are way better than you! You're a toad who wants a taste of swan meat!!"
His classmate, "..."
As the dance neared its end, the arena once again exploded with screams and claps. It was like everyone hadn't seen enough.
Once done, the class went backstage to change. Jun Yexuan followed them and stuck by Qiao Qing.
Chen Nanfeng asked, "Are you Qingqing's boyfriend?"
Jun Yexuan nodded.
Chen Nanfeng smiled, "I knew you looked like him! How you saved us up there today was so cool!"
Jun Yexuan laughed and cupped Qiao Qing's hands into his. No matter how much she tried, he refused to let her slip-free.
Chen Nanfeng asked again, "How come you always hide your face?"
Jun Yexuan looked over at Qiao Qing, "Because my face is for my wife's eyes only."
"Wow!"
"How romantic!"
"He must spoil her to death!!"
Since Qiao Qing wasn't wearing the rented dress, she just gave back the rented one she was given. Then, she slipped through the side and found a seat in the audience.
Jun Yexuan followed and sat beside her, "I thought you would go straight home."
Qiao Qing answered, "I have to make sure Xiyan's performance ends safely. She's in the teeth of the storm. It's far too easy for someone to target her in this kind of setting."
Jun Yexuan pulled her into a hug, "I feel sour. What do I do? How come you're so nice to that young girl?"
Qiao Qing rolled her eyes at him, "Eat some cucumber!"
Jun Yexuan, "..."
Someone closeby saw how those two were acting and silently exclaimed, so they are dating!
Next were performances by classes and also some solo stages.
Lin Xiyan's class was the second last to go on. Their performance was a group fan dance.
The moment everyone came on stage, Qiao Qing's gaze landed on Lin Xiyan.
As she watched her, she also paid close attention to her surroundings and didn't dare to relax even a little bit.
As she watched, her gaze suddenly froze. Then, she dashed towards the stage.
Chen Nanfeng dumbfoundedly stared at Qiao Qing running away like the wind, "Where's she going?"
Jun Yexuan's eyes narrowed. He dialed a number, "Stay away from the girls' change room and pay close attention to all other backstage areas!"
Lin Xiyan was dancing upstage when she felt the attack of the wind. She felt her waist being squished as Qiao Qing held onto her tightly.
Chapter 305: Time For Work
Lin Xiyan thought it was a pervert stirring up trouble. When she looked up and saw Qiao Qing's beautiful but cold face, she froze, "Qingqing, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Qing tightly pressed onto her clothes and half carried and half pulled her backstage, "Don't ask so much. Follow me."
Offstage, Jun Yexuan's face was dark like coal. Though he was aware of what was happening, to see Qiao Qing hug someone so tightly made him uncomfortable. Even though it was a woman!
The students were completely flabbergasted by why Qiao Qing suddenly crashed onto the stage and carried Lin Xiyan away. They exchanged glances and didn't know what was happening.
Only Fu Siying slammed her fist onto her chair. That b!tch always ruins her plans!
Because everyone was dancing the same routine, missing one person didn't affect the class performance.
After Qiao Qing and Lin Xiyan got to one of the stalls in the change room, they finally sighed in relief.
Lin Xiyan asked while bluffing, "Qingqing, can you tell me what is going on?"
Qiao Qing, "... You don't feel anything?"
Lin Xiyan was confused, "Feel what?"
Qiao Qing gently coughed, "Don't be scared."
After warning her, she let go of the hand that was firmly pressing onto Lin Xiyan's clothes. At the same time, she turned around to face the door.
The next second, Lin Xiyan screamed as loud as humanly possible.
Mu Jinghang, who was hiding just outside of the girl's change room cursed silently. What was happening?
The two girls went into the change room hugging each other and one of them screamed as if someone was harassing her.
If his third brother was here, he would've rushed in for sure.
Lin Xiyan stared at her naked two legs for a long time, "The quality of this set of clothes sure is bad!"
Qiao Qing, "..."
This naivety... how will she survive the entertainment industry without her protection?
"If I'm not wrong, someone did something to your clothes."
Coldness flashed across Qiao Qing's eyes.
Then, she leaned into the door and stuck out her toes so it peeked outside.
While pressed against the door, she asked, "Where're your clothes."
Lin Xiyan was still shocked by the information and answered simply, "Change room stall 6."
Qiao Qing went to get her clothes and tossed them to her.
Then, she leaned to the side, took out her phone, and plugged in her earplugs.
After some manipulation on her cell, her screen showed her 12 different surveillance videos throughout this building.
When Fu Siying showed up in one of the videos, Qiao Qing did not appear at all surprised.
After witnessing Fu Siying talking to one of Lin Xiyan's classmates, Qiao Qing's eyes turned colder.
She duplicated the surveillance video and sent it to Lang Yin. At the same time, she added the text, "Time for work."
Just as she finished all this, the change room stall's door opened and Lin Xiyan walked out.
"Qingqing, what did you mean by what you said? Someone purposely damaged my clothes so I'd embarrass myself on stage?"
"But when I left, most of the girls were still changing. Plus, we all have a good relationship."
Qiao Qing looked afar as if reminiscing. Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes.
"Xiyan, remember, the world isn't as nice as you imagine it to be. People also do not treat each other fairly all the time."
"A moment of greed can inject all the bad thoughts into a person. It's enough to make them harm others."
"If you want to work in the entertainment industry, you cannot be as naive as you are now."
"You cannot guard yourself enough from others' ill intent. I will do my best to protect you, but there will be times when I miss things."
