The competition was in full swing and very intense.

The emcee invited Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi onstage, so the two of them walked to the stage entrance.

Tang Beibei reminded Ruan Qi, “Remember, it’s revenge for stealing your man. We must act it out.”

Ruan Qi clutched her heart. “Please don’t say that anymore. My heart hurts when you say that.”

The two of them went onstage; the name of their dance was “Change of Heart.”

Their music started and Tang Beibei danced happily holding a music box. She looked pure and innocent. Suddenly, Ruan Qi knocked into her and the music box broke.

Tang Beibei glared at Ruan Qi sadly and demanded compensation, but Ruan Qi refused and even kicked away the music box.

This was the beginning of their conflict.

The two of them quarreled and were at loggerheads.

Their eyes were sharp, their faces were resentful as they readied themselves to fight at any moment. They both wanted to trample the other party under their feet.

The two of them then transformed into demons and bared their fangs. The demons were agitated and wanted to devour each other. It was very similar to when two people argued, they raised their voices as they tried to out-talk each another.

There were many small conflicts in life. Some of them could be unintentional mistakes, some of them could be misunderstandings. When unfamiliar people met and interacted with each other, they would always go through a period of adjustment.

At the beginning of the adjustment period, everyone would stick to their own opinions and expect the other party to apologize.

A clap of thunder rang out, and the two of them swapped roles.

When they put themselves in the person’s shoes, their perspective would change, and they would realize that they didn’t know the other person’s truth before.

The arrogance and willfulness they had before instantly turned into doubt and then understanding.

Seeing the other person’s attitude change, Ruan Qi picked up the music box and returned it to her.

She didn’t realize that she had broken someone’s music box when she kicked it away. Tang Beibei understood the situation now and took the music box from Ruan Qi.

The two of them shook hands and became friends.

The music transitioned to something fast and the two girls danced a fast-paced rumba. It was a passionate song, and the two of them happily immersed themselves in it.

Their dance was slow in the beginning and fast at the end. There was hatred in the beginning and love at the end. The contrast was stark, but the transition wasn’t abrupt. It felt very special.

We all dealt with interpersonal relationships since young. Whether it was with friends, lovers, or our parents, we had to be sincere in our interactions to understand each other and get along.

This was a very complex subject, but it was expressed in such a playful way by the two young girls. When the music stopped, everyone applauded excitedly.

A good piece of work could only be chanced upon.

A good and interesting piece of work was something even more unexpected.

The two young girls quarreled with classical dance on stage and expressed harmony using the fast-paced rumba. Their performance made people want to dance with them.

The applause lasted for a long time before it stopped for the three judges to vote.

The three judges were about to speak when they heard the director through their earphones and looked at Tang Beibei with strange expressions.

Freelance dancer judge, Cheng Jian, chuckled.

“You’ve won me over with your abilities. I really like your creativity. I hope to see more of your work on stage in the future. My vote goes to you.”

The choreographer judge, Xu Feng, sighed and raised the voting paddle he was holding.

“I felt like I’ve just watched a big battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Many conflicts in life can be resolved if we put ourselves in each other’s shoes to gain perspective and eventually earn each other’s respect.”

“Your dancing has improved. It’s only been a week, and you’ve choreographed and rehearsed your work to such high quality. I have no doubt that I’ll see you on television often in the future! You have my vote!”

The dance teacher judge, Mu Zhi, picked up her microphone after a long time. She didn’t look pleased when she said perfunctorily, “Not bad. You have my vote too.”

“Thankyou, teachers!”

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi looked at each other, smiled, and bowed to the audience before they danced offstage.

After the two of them finished their performance, they went to the audience area to watch Jin Zhao and Jia Ran’s performance.

Ruan Qi sat next to Fu Jin. When she saw Song Zhou in the audience, she was about to smile when she saw a woman beside him. It was Mi Qing.

Her smile froze.

Song Zhou stood up and wanted to talk to her, but Mi Qing held his arm. She leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly, “Brother Song Zhou, I’m a little tired.”

Song Zhou pushed her head away. “Rest if you’re tired. Don’t lean on me. There are so many people watching. Aren’t you afraid that people will discover that you’re a celebrity?”

“I’m not afraid of being seen with you. At most, I’ll them who you are.”

“Don’t you have to consider your fans’ feelings?”

A few years ago, Song Zhou had thought about going public with their relationship, but Mi Qing had always said that as a celebrity, she had to consider the feelings of her fans. Otherwise, she would lose her fans.

Song Zhou gave in to her and never asked again.

Now that he was in love with Ruan Qi, he couldn’t let Mi Qing go public with that nonsense.

He looked up at Ruan Qi and said, “Miss Ruan, you danced really well.”

Ruan Qi’s lips twitched. “You don’t have to tell me how good I am.”

Song Zhou knew that she was angry and felt bad.

Mi Qing tried to lean on Song Zhou again. He tried to push her away, but she hugged him coquettishly and refused to let go.

Mi Qing even said with a smile, “Your choreography is quite interesting. There are fast and slow movements, and the conflict between the two dancers was also interesting. However, your rumba could be better. Mrs. Chen, I can teach you.”

Tang Beibei chuckled, thanked her politely, and sat down next to Jiang Jingchen.

Their dance was directed by Fu Jin and had received pointers from other professional dance teachers. It wasn’t too good or too bad.

Mi Qing smiled at Tang Beibei and asked, “Mrs. Chen, are you interested in becoming an artiste? I know many people in the entertainment industry. I can introduce them to you.”

Tang Beibei dug her ears and asked in confusion, “It’s quite noisy here. I didn’t hear what you said. Mi Qing, what did you say?”

“I said, if you want to become an artiste, I know many friends and I can introduce them to you. We can hang out together and become best friends.”

“Oh,” Tang Beibei replied and asked Jiang Jingchen, “Hubby, should I become an artiste?”

Jiang Jingchen glanced at Mi Qing and sneered. “My wife is capable and beautiful. She doesn’t need someone to pull strings for her. Some people should know their limits and not embarrass themselves!”

Mi Qing’s face turned red in embarrassment after she was mocked. A sinister glint flashed across her eyes.

Ruan Qi chuckled. No matter how many tricks Mi Qing had, none of them would work on Tang Beibei.

With Jiang Jingchen’s help, it was simply too satisfying to see this Mi Qing insulted!

Next up was Jin Zhao and Jia Ran’s dance.

The two of them did an excerpt from the ballet Romeo and Juliet.

Ruan Qi asked teasingly, “Fu Jin, have you seen Romeo and Juliet at the Grand Theater?”

Fu Jin thought for a few seconds. “No.”

“I was the prima-ballerino, so I never got a chance to watch the entire ballet live.”

This big shot’s dances sold for tickets. They were not worthy of being associated with him at all!

Tang Beibei gulped. Fu Jin was indeed very capable. He was so young, but he had already performed as the prima-ballerino at the Grand Theater. There was no doubt that Fu Jin was a very established dancer.

Ruan Qi couldn’t appreciate ballet very well, so she asked Fu Jin, “Then how are they doing?”
