Chapter 102: We Won’t Be Partic.i.p.ating In the Same Program
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
‘I’ll sit and eat an apple while watching Pei Jie dance.’
Pei Jie would come half an hour early every day. When Shi Xi was resting, she would watch Pei Jie dance for a while.
She had heard of Pei Jie’s name from her dance teacher many times, and she had also searched for him in private.
Pei Jie was a member of a male band in a small company. However, the small company did not have many resources and kept recruiting people to sign contracts. They would then waste their time to earn their termination fees.
The small company did not even have a proper dance cla.s.s. Pei Jie would work to earn money before coming back to learn dance.
!!
The dance teacher praised Pei Jie endlessly.
Shi Xi chewed on an apple as she watched Pei Jie’s movements. She thought to herself that he was just so-so.
It was just that the dance was a little smoother, the movements were a little better, and the control was a little stronger.
How could he compare to her?
Shi Xi took another bite of the apple hatefully.
“Oh right, Shi Xi, can you help Pei Jie take a look at this dance?” The dance teacher stopped moving and said with a smile, “Pei Jie has an interview to attend. See if there’s anything else he needs to improve on this dance.”
“There’s no need.”
“There’s no need.”
The two of them spoke at the same time.
The dance teacher looked at the two of them.
Pei Jie pursed his lips and turned his head away from Shi Xi.
Shi Xi smiled faintly and said, “I’ve seen it just now. It’s very good. There’s no need to improve it.”
The dance teacher said, “Haha, Pei Jie and I are both men. We just want you to help us see if there’s anything greasy in the dance moves. After all, boys and girls have different perceptions of each other.”
In the past, there were often moves where the crotch was pushed up against the floor. They thought it was s*xy, but the female fans were shouting about how greasy it was.
Shi Xi coughed and praised, “It’s not greasy. It’s very handsome!”
Hearing Shi Xi’s praise, Pei Jie looked at her and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Thank you.”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them had improved, the dance teacher said, “Both of you are going to partic.i.p.ate in the show. You might have to interact with each other in the entertainment industry in the future. Why don’t you add her on WeChat? It’ll be easier to contact her in the future.”
“There’s no need for that. She and I won’t be partic.i.p.ating in the same show,” Pei Jie said first.
Ever since Shi Xi arrived, she had never been treated with such disdain. Her eyes were smiling. “I don’t think we’ll be partic.i.p.ating in the same show either.”
She was going to partic.i.p.ate in [Star Idol]. They were all girls. How could she possibly meet Pei Jie?
Unless Pei Jie became a dance teacher?
However, with his unknown fame, he wasn’t qualified to be a dance instructor.
Pei Jie looked at the smile on Shi Xi’s face and said, “Teacher, let’s continue practicing.”
Shi Xi stood up and smiled politely. There wasn’t a single mistake in her smile. “Thank you for the apple, Teacher. I’ve already rested well. See you next time.”
“Alright, see you next time.” The dance instructor watched Shi Xi leave. He turned around to look at the disappointing Pei Jie and felt even angrier.
“You brat, I’ve already helped you set the stage, but you don’t even know how to cherish it!” the dance teacher said in frustration. “Having more friends means more opportunities. Shi Xi is so famous. So why don’t you practice dancing with her and be friends with her?”
Pei Jie said plainly, “She’s very popular, so she doesn’t need a friend like me.”
The dance teacher was exasperated. “Shi Xi has a good personality and is talented, and her personality isn’t as bad as what the Internet says. Yesterday was her birthday, and you were in the same dance studio as her. What’s wrong with saying happy birthday?
“Even if you don’t want to be friends with her, you don’t have to make her angry, right? Can’t you change your personality?”
Pei Jie didn’t say anything. He lowered his eyes, and the strands of hair on his forehead hid the emotions in his eyes.
