n‘I’ll sit and eat an apple while watching Pei Jie dance.’

nPei Jie would come half an hour early every day. When Shi Xi was resting, she would watch Pei Jie dance for a while.

nShe had heard of Pei Jie’s name from her dance teacher many times, and she had also searched for him in private.

nPei 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.

nThe small company did not even have a proper dance class. Pei Jie would work to earn money before coming back to learn dance.

nThe dance teacher praised Pei Jie endlessly.

nShi Xi chewed on an apple as she watched Pei Jie’s movements. She thought to herself that he was just so-so.

nIt was just that the dance was a little smoother, the movements were a little better, and the control was a little stronger.

nHow could he compare to her?

nShi Xi took another bite of the apple hatefully.

n“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.”

n“There’s no need.”

n“There’s no need.”

n……

nThe two of them spoke at the same time.

nThe dance teacher looked at the two of them.

nPei Jie pursed his lips and turned his head away from Shi Xi.

nShi Xi smiled faintly and said, “I’ve seen it just now. It’s very good. There’s no need to improve it.”

nThe 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.”

nIn 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.

nShi Xi coughed and praised, “It’s not greasy. It’s very handsome!”

nHearing Shi Xi’s praise, Pei Jie looked at her and said in a muffled voice, “Thank you.”

nSeeing that the atmosphere between the two of them had improved, the dance teacher said, “Both of you are going to participate 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.”

n“There’s no need for that. She and I won’t be participating in the same show,” Pei Jie said first.

nEver since Shi Xi arrived, she had never been treated with such disdain. Her eyes were smiling. “I don’t think we’ll be participating in the same show either.”

nShe was going to participate in Star Idol. They were all girls. How could she possibly meet Pei Jie?

nUnless Pei Jie became a dance teacher?

nHowever, with his unknown fame, he wasn’t qualified to be a dance instructor.

nPei Jie looked at the smile on Shi Xi’s face and said, “Teacher, let’s continue practicing.”

nShi 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.”

n“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.

n“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?”

nPei Jie said plainly, “She’s very popular, so she doesn’t need a friend like me.”

nThe 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?

n“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?”

nPei Jie didn’t say anything. He lowered his eyes, and the strands of hair on his forehead hid the emotions in his eyes.
