Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Jingchen and Ruan Qi talked until Ruan Qi calmed down and was ready to go back to the competition.

They ran into Song Zhou and Mi Qing at the elevator lobby.

When Mi Qing saw Ruan Qi, she held Song Zhou’s arm tightly like she got a big

shock.

Tang Beibei almost rolled her eyes at Mi Qing’s exaggerated expression.

She grabbed Jiang Jingchen’s arm and said, “Hubby, my eyes hurt.”

Jiang Jingchen looked down to check her eyes. “Why are they hurting?”

Tang Beibei said aggrievedly, “Maybe because I saw something dirty. I don’t know why I suddenly feel a little nauseous.

Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Zhou, held back his laughter, rubbed the corners of Tang Beibei’s eyes, and pecked her on the hps.

“Don’t look at that eyesore, just look at me.”

“Yeah. My husband is so handsome!”

Ruan Qi held back her laughter and ate with relish after hearing the couple’s

flirtation.

She glanced at Mi Qing and Song Zhou, crossed her arms, and pretended not to know them.

Song Zhou knew that Tang Beibei was mocking Mi Qing. He glanced at Mi Qing,

who lowered her head and pretended that she didn’t hear anything.

It was as if she wasn’t mocked if she didn’t hear it.

Song Zhou walked out of the elevator and said to Ruan Qi, “Ml Qing is a little

upset. I’ll accompany her back to the hotel. I’ll go back early tonight.”

Ruan Qi pretended not to hear him. Tang Beibei said, “Miss Mi Qing, you are not a child. Why do you need Song Zhou to accompany you for everything?”

Mi Qing smiled. “I’m not familiar with this place and I’ve been slapped. I don’t feel well.”

Tang Beibei said, “You can see a doctor if you don’t feel well. If you don’t know the way, you can take a taxi. The taxi driver will definitely know the way. Song Zhou is my husband’s butler. I haven’t seen him for a few days now because he had to take care of you.”

Mi Qing blinked, and tears fell pitifully.

“It’s my fault. If I hadn’t come to find Brother Song Zhou, he wouldn’t have been busy with my matters. I’m so sorry to bother you, Brother Song.”

Tang Beibei was speechless.

Song Zhou exhaled deeply. “Stop crying. I’m not blaming you. Let me take you back to your hotel.”

Mi Qing blinked her tears and said to Jiang Jingchen, “Mr. Chen, you are here to watch your wife’s dance competition and don’t need Brother Song to do anything for you. Brother Song Zhou will accompany me back. I wish your wife the best in advance. Goodbye.”

Jiang Jingchen was speechless.

Mi Qing and Song Zhou turned to walk away. Song Zhou looked back at Ruan

Qi, but Ruan Qi looked straight ahead, ignored him, and walked into the elevator.

Song Zhou’s heart sank. He knew that she was angry.

When the elevator doors closed, Ruan Qi’s shoulders slumped as she looked at

Jiang Jingchen.

“This Mi Qing is a shameless woman. She’s walking all over Song Zhou just because she saved him once.”

“She treated Song Zhou as a spare tire until she found out that Song Zhou has a girlfriend. Then, she came back to pester him and even tried to chase me away.”

Jiang Jingchen’s arm was still across Tang Beibei’s shoulders as he scratched

her chin from time to time, like he was playing with a kitten.

He said casually, “There’s no point complaining to me. Song Zhou is my subordinate, not my slave. I can’t interfere in his personal relationships.” “But, Young Master Jiang, you can’t just let him dump me because you have a beautiful woman. Can’t you help me?”

Jiang Jingchen said, “To deal with this kind of woman, you just have to give her the cold shoulder. She will stop after a few days.”

“Will that work?”

“How would you know if you don’t try?”

“Then, then I won’t be able to interact with Song Zhou for a few days…” Ruan Qi was depressed.

Jiang Jingchen said, “For the sake of long-term relationship, a little forbearance goes a long way.”

“Okay, I’ll focus on the competition now!”

With Jiang Jingchen’s help, Ruan Qi was in god mode. She wouldn’t believe that she couldn’t defeat Mi Qing!

The 25 remaining contestants from last round formed 12 teams and 6 teams

had been eliminated.

The remaining six teams would now battle it out.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi went onstage again. They danced hip-hop this time, with elements from other dance styles added in.

Hip-hop culture represented a creative and expressive outlet that encompasses music, dance, art, fashion, and a sense of identity for many people.

It represented the fearlessness of youth, very casual, very chill.

They added elements of classical dance and ballet to convey that fearless youth wasn’t without restrictions. There were also rules, strict requirements, compassion and indomitable yearning.

They wanted to express that in everyone’s journey of growth, we would have to face challenges and shoulder responsibilities.

We could be different from our friends, but we could choose to find commonalities.

Tang Beibei almost never touched on family ties in her works. Most of her dances were about friendships. It was a simpler feeling that many people could relate to.

Ruan Qi also never touched on family ties because sometimes she didn’t know how to face her family.

Personal growth and friendships had added color to her life. She was also happy to express these in her dances.

Finally, the two of them took out a ribbon from their sleeves. The ribbon was very long and colorful. It was tied to their wrists and made of special material. Every time they moved, the ribbon would dance onstage.

in everyone’s journey of growth, they would encounter different colors and sceneries. The colorful ribbons represented the interesting things we encountered in life.

When the music stopped, their ribbons were tangled together.

When the audience thought that they had made a mistake, the two of them danced again and their ribbons formed the shape of a heart.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and applauded.

“Contestant Tang Beibei and Contestant Ruan Qi are so imaginative. They always bring surprises. It’s like watching an advertisement for a luxury brand.” “That’s right. I didn’t know that you can do that with ribbons. Wow!” “They’re not dancing. They’re more like showing off their skills. Their figures are so good, so enviable!”

Onstage, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi stopped, and the emcee invited the three judges to give their critique.

The freelance dancer judge, Cheng Jian, looked at the girls’ ribbons in surprise and asked, “Is this a dance choreographed by you?’

“Yes.”

“How long did it take?”

“It took us three hours. We trained for a week.” Tang Beibei explained.

“Three hours?” Cheng Jian was surprised.

Tang Beibei explained with a smile. “I’m not very good at hip-hop. It’s like when we are asked to do things that we aren’t familiar with, we can only find a way to complete the task. So, I used elements from other dance styles to boost my confidence.”

“Then I saw a video and found out that the ribbons are very fun, so we added that in. It was like a reward for myself after we completed the task.”

“Wonderful ideas, really interesting.” Cheng Jian exclaimed.

The choreographer judge also said excitedly, “Many dances nowadays have their own routines and patterns, but your dance doesn’t. I’m always curious when I watch your dance.”

“Because I’ll never know what hidden surprise you’ve installed for us. And this particular hidden surprise wasn’t abrupt and actually gave you extra points.” “Props can add color to the dance. Your performance was perfect! I vote for you!”

The dance teacher judge, Mu Zhi, put on a straight face. “Your dance is simple with many beginner movements. Some of them still lacked power but the sequences weren’t bad. The choreography definitely scored you points. You have my vote.”

Her expression seemed a little unwilling because from a dance teacher’s perspective, some of their movements could be more precise.

However, these two girls’ movements weren’t really lacking in precision. Even if the judges were to nitpick, they couldn’t find notable flaws.

After getting all three votes, the two girls left the stage, and another team came on.

Coincidentally, the team that was competing against them consisted of Xi Tong and Chen Xixi.
