At night, Ruan Qi asked Tang Beibei to watch “Dancing Youth” together.
The TV version of “Dancing Youth” was finally available online.
Tang Beibei quickly put a bunch of snacks on the coffee table. The two of them were full of anticipation, but the more they watched the show, the more they felt that something was off.
Although Tang Beibei had a lot of scenes, the edited content was strange.
When she kicked the emcee after being startled, she apologized but her apology didn’t show up in the final cut.
When she had an argument with Jin Zhao before she went onstage, Jin Zhao was clearly the one who started it but only her part of the dialogue was aired. Jin Zhao’s part had been cut.
When she got offstage at the end of the show and almost fell when Jia Ren caught her. They made it look like she deliberately threw herself into Jia Ran’s arms.
Many people commented online that Tang Beibei was a scheming b*tch who even dared to kick the emcee. What a diva!
Ruan Qi saw that everyone was scolding Tang Beibei on the comments and quickly turned off the chat box.
She pointed at the television and said, “The program team is up to something. They’re deliberately smearing you!”
Tang Beibei frowned. They had indeed made her feel uncomfortable.
Ruan Qi consoled, “Beibei, the editing staff of the television station deliberately misled the audience. Don’t be angry.”
“Yes, but I have nothing to do with the TV station. Why would they do this?”
“Why else? They must have edited it like that to create controversies. Controversies will get people talking and discussions will bring them traffic. They are just doing despicable things for money.”
Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. “So, they used me to make money? Should I then be grateful to them for bringing me traffic too?”
Although Tang Beibei’s words sounded awful, but her logic seemed right.
Tang Beibei was in a bad mood, so Jiang Jingchen came to ask Ruan Qi what happened. Ruan Qi told him about the malicious editing done by the program team.
Jiang Jingchen watched the show once through with a cold face.
When he saw the part where Jia Ran held his wife, his sinister gaze seemed to want to chop off Jia Ran’s arms!
Ruan Qi was so scared that she did not dare to speak, let alone provoke him.
The first half of the finals for “Dancing Youth” was scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
Tang Beibei woke up in the morning and rehearsed with Ruan Qi. Tang Beibei felt that their dance lacked something.
Ruan Qi was puzzled. “Which move isn’t on point? We’ll correct it.”
“It’s not the movement, but our facial expressions.”
Tang Beibei couldn’t put her finger on what felt wrong, so she called Fu Jin.
Fu Jin rushed to the villa and watched the two of them rehearse. He sat in silence for a long time.
“There’s no problem with your movements, and your dance is difficult enough. It’s just that the feeling is lacking.”
“What feeling?”
Fu Jin walked up to Tang Beibei. His eyes were filled with hatred and were as sharp as a lethal dagger. He looked terrifying. Tang Beibei was so frightened that she took a step back.
Fu Jin held her shoulders. “What did you feel?”
“Murderous intent!”
“Your theme is change of heart. You must exaggerate the conflict in the beginning, like you want to kill each other. But after the painful change of heart, you slowly understand each other and get along.”
“You can’t convey the feeling without this exaggerated contrast.”
Ruan Qi half-understood what Fu Jin said. She danced and looked Tang Beibei in the eye. Not only did she not have any murderous intent, but she even laughed out loud and made Tang Beibei want to laugh too.
Fu Jin’s head hurt and asked her to be more serious, but Ruan Qi could not get into the mood.
Jiang Jingchen, who had been quietly watching them, took a sip of tea and glared at Ruan Qi.
“Think about how you feel when your man is snatched away by another woman.”
Ruan Qi could no longer laugh.
Every time Jiang Jingchen opened his mouth, it was heart-wrenching!
When they rehearsed again, the corners of Ruan Qi’s eyes were red, like she wanted to strangle her dance partner to death.
Tang Beibei gulped in fear.
Jiang Jingchen walked up to her and patted her back. “Think about it. Your best friend has been murdered. What do you want to do to the murderer?”
“I’ll be sad, and I’ll hate the murderer.”
“Then hate away!”
Ruan Qi could not take it anymore. “Why should I be the one murdered and not her?”
Jiang Jingchen curled his lips and put his arm around Tang Beibei’s shoulders. “Because I want to grow old with my wife, so I can only let you suffer.”
Ruan Qi had to give it to Jiang Jingchen for his sweet-talk!
Fu Jin gave them a few more pointers. He only left the dance studio after he felt that their dance was much better than before.
Jiang Jingchen stood at the side the entire time, afraid that Fu Jin would get too close to Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was helpless. She could only indulge her jealous husband.
She had to hold the man’s hand when she was talking to Fu Jin.
Jiang Jingchen smiled at her conscious act and looked at his phone only then.
When they were having lunch together, Fu Jin asked politely when he didn’t see Song Zhou, “Where’s Song Zhou? He’s not coming back for lunch?”
The atmosphere at the table instantly turned cold.
Ruan Qi smirked. “He’s not coming back. He is keeping another woman company.”
Fu Jin felt as if he had stepped on a landmine and looked to Tang Beibei for help. Tang Beibei didn’t know what to say either and ate in silence.
After lunch, the four of them went to the television station.
Tang Beibei whispered to Jiang Jingchen, “Can you call Song Zhou over? Today is the finals, so Qiqi definitely wishes that he’s here.”
‘TH call him.” Jiang Jingchen said.
At the TV station, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi went to get ready while Fu Jin went to find his other trainees. Jiang Jingchen called Song Zhou.
Jiang Jingchen asked Song Zhou where he was, and Song Zhou said he was at the mall, shopping with Mi Qing.
“Your girlfriend is dancing in the finals this afternoon. Are you coming?”
“I, I will rush over.”
Jiang Jingchen mocked, “It’s okay if you can’t make it in time. Your fiancee is keeping you company anyway. There are many people interested in Ruan Qi. If I can bring the two of you together, I can also bring her and another man together.”
Jiang Jingchen hung up before Song Zhou could answer.
Song Zhou was speechless.
Backstage after Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi changed into their costumes and put on makeup, the staff ran a lottery to determine today’s competition.
Ruan Qi drew a number that pitted her against Jin Zhao.
Jin Zhao and Jia Ran were partners.
As for how those two formed a team, it was their story and Tang Beibei was not interested. But since she had to compete head-on with Jia Ran, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Ruan Qi slapped her hand in disgust. “So unlucky. We are going head-to-head with the big shot, Jia Ran.”
Tang Beibei held her hand comfortingly and cheered herself on. “Let’s challenge ourselves. If we win, even big shots aren’t our match. What are we afraid of?”
“You’re right, but I admire your courage!”
Tang Beibei suspected that Ruan Qi was mocking her.
Jiang Jingchen came over and asked Tang Beibei about the lottery. Tang Beibei said that their opponent was Jia Ran.
Jiang Jingchen had appreciated Jia Ran’s work last time. It was indeed good.
After all, he had been a dancer for more than ten years and his foundation was solid.
Fu Jin also came over to ask about the lottery. He was stunned when he heard that their opponent was Jia Ran.
“I heard through the grapevine that Jin Zhao has already been pre-determined as the champion. Anyone who competes against her will lose.”
Ruan Qi cursed under her breath and slapped her hand again.
Bloody unlucky hand!
Tang Beibei comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. We’ll think of another way.”
“What can we do? They’ve already decided internally!” Ruan Qi cried in anger.
The competition hadn’t even started yet, and the program team had already decided on the champion.. That was so unfair!
