CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 571: IMPROMPTU PERFORMANCE

"If she really was a special admissions recruit brought in by Dean Jian’s unspoken rules, she surely must have been quite familiar with Shi Mei.

Although Tu Xing was also good at this particular dance, upon hearing Jian Yun say this, she felt she had no confidence at all.

The safest and most conservative approach was for everyone to start from the same point.

Without a doubt, improvisation was the best choice.

Tu Xing looked provocatively at Shi Mei and asked, "What do you think?"

Shi Mei yawned, "Sure, let’s do an improvised performance. What piece do you want to dance to?"

"Can I decide?" a girl in the crowd voiced out, "There’s a song that’s been really popular lately, with operatic elements, it’s very nice to listen to, called ’Drunk Dream Beauty’. I think you two could try dancing to this one."

"That song, I know it, it’s been so popular recently because of the operatic part, I’ll play it!"

After saying this, in less than a minute, a melancholic and ancient-sounding melody began to play.

Shi Mei had also heard the song ’Drunk Dream Beauty’ before and firmly believed it was very suitable for choreographing a dance.

"Do we have a silk scarf?" Shi Mei asked.

"Yes!" A teacher standing behind Jian Yun stepped forward and quickly took out a silk scarf.

Shi Mei tossed it in her hands and asked Tu Xing, "So, how about it—do you want to go first, or should I?"

Tu Xing said, "I’ll go first!"

With that said, she already stepped forward.

It has to be said, Tu Xing was very pretty.

With a beautiful face and a slender yet well-proportioned figure, she was indeed a complete stunner.

As for Tu Min, Shi Mei didn’t quite remember what she looked like, only that, from what she recalled, both seemed to indeed be somewhat similar in appearance.

However, this Tu Xing’s dancing skills were obviously not as good as Tu Min’s.

Though Tu Min had lost to her in the competition, Shi Mei clearly remembered how flexible Tu Min’s limbs were, how each gesture was filled with an indescribable charm and grace, her years of practice evident, showcasing a very formidable talent.

That day, Tu Min performed basic moves like splits and handstand flips—all very smooth; her body could even twist over a hundred degrees, showing great flexibility.

But this Tu Xing, as soon as the music began, started spinning and jumping.

Her body was indeed flexible, but it felt like showing off, coupled with her unfamiliarity with the music. She put too much force into it over the beat of the music, and in the next instant, the music abruptly quieted down. Tu Xing froze on the spot, then quickly extended her arms and turned in a circle.

But even though the recovery was quick, the performance was already a failure.

Jian Yun shook her head slightly, not saying anything.

Other teachers looking at her also exchanged glances, whispering among themselves.

Tu Xing’s face was burning with embarrassment, looking extremely awkward as she faced Shi Mei and said, "I made a mistake."

"Do I need to make a mistake as well?" Shi Mei’s languid demeanor made Tu Xing’s face heat up even more.

Indeed, a mistake was a mistake.

Could she really ask Shi Mei to make a mistake too?

Dongfang Xuyan didn’t see what was at stake and blinked, "Where was the mistake? I didn’t notice."

Shi Mei glanced at Dongfang Xuyan and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

These people had been saying she got in through the back door, but they never criticized Dongfang Xuyan once.

Clearly, Dongfang Xuyan was the one who really had money thrown around to spend time here!
