Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 134: Why Don’t You Ask Song Xi to Teach You?

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Why Don’t You Ask Song Xi to Teach You?

This is a modern urban drama, what kind of fight scenes are there really? Isn’t it just a scene of slapping him?

Yu Zhi already felt a premonition of the pain on his face.

"I’m just waiting for you to act out the story of high heels and sneakers with your ’little brother.’ When that happens, I’ll have to scold and condemn you."

The ’little brother’ he mentioned is the youngest actor in the cast, playing the role of Yu Zhi’s younger brother, and there’s an ambiguous tension between Yu Xia and him.

However, when the words "little brother" reached Yu Xia’s ears, her first reaction was to think of Xie Qingci, and her heart skipped a beat.

Then she realized and waved her hand disinterestedly.

It might be better if they talked less.

By 8 PM, Yu Xia changed into her own clothes and hurriedly left the set to rush to the talent show base.

It was almost 10 PM when she arrived. The practice room was still lively with many trainees practicing extra hours.

She took off her mask while walking into the agreed practice room, where the younger ones were sitting in a corner, watching demos on a tablet.

When there was a noise at the door, Xie Qingci looked up.

Yu Xia removed her hat and tied her hair quickly, and by the time she reached the middle, she was ready to start rehearsals: "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

"No, no," the younger ones waved their hands.

Xie Qingci noticed she looked a bit tired, patted the shoulder of the trainee beside him, and stood up: "Yu Xia, did you rush here? Why don’t you sit down and rest for a bit, watch us rehearse once, and maybe give us some feedback."

Yu Xia didn’t immediately agree and looked at the others: "Is that okay?"

Song Xi was the first to nod along, showing no visible disagreement with Xie Qingci.

"Watch us rehearse once first. We’re just getting started, there are many issues, so help us sum up a bit."

Filming is already tiring, and rushing back to rehearse feels normal, but seeing her this way still makes you feel bad... or maybe sympathetic?

He tried hard to clear away that sticky, awkward feeling in his heart, lowering his head to avoid Yu Xia’s possible gaze.

Xie Qingci made a subtle, ambiguous hum but didn’t act out, considering Yu Xia was already very tired. His action was small, and except for Song Xi, others didn’t notice.

Song Xi looked even more embarrassed.

Yu Xia, however, was too busy to notice their interactions and sat down to watch the results of their day’s rehearsal.

Her serious attitude made the chatty younger ones straighten up. But with singing and dancing and so much content after just one day of rehearsal, some parts were still undecided, so the result wasn’t very good.

Halfway through watching, she couldn’t help but speak up: "What’s going on with Xie Qingci and Song Xi? They dance well alone, but the moment there’s contact, they’re like zombies. Does the other have lice?"

The others looked around and snickered.

Xie Qingci’s brow twitched, turning to look at her. While Song Xi, behaving professionally, quickly reacted after being criticized and said to Xie Qingci: "Let’s do it again, but seriously this time."

What else could Xie Qingci say? They reset their positions and started over.

This time their performance improved. Yu Xia, who should have been in the center, didn’t step in, leaving Xie Qingci and Song Xi to make direct contact, feeling each other’s tension and aversion when placing hands on each other’s shoulders.

Yu Xia watched through once and clapped, praising them briefly.

Then, as the leader, Song Xi assigned her the part she needed to complete.

With only one tablet, he had to move closer to her, bending down slightly to let her see better.

As they spoke, their breaths were noticeable, and Song Xi seemed a little uncomfortable, instinctively tensing up whenever he got close, like in a state of alert.

Yu Xia glanced at him, focusing on watching the demo.

Once he finished explaining, she immediately returned the tablet and stood up without concern, facing Xie Qingci’s calm yet unsettling gaze: "Let’s begin. I’m not great at this, so please correct me anytime."

Her position was in the middle of Xie Qingci and Song Xi. The initial steps were okay, but as the synchronized dance progressed, she struggled.

Her movements in the mirror didn’t match the others, lacking any sense of beauty, and she kept making mistakes.

The younger one behind hesitated for a while, then walked over to her side and whispered: "Yu Xia, this move should be like this."

He demonstrated, and Yu Xia followed, but it still didn’t work.

Carefully, the younger one gently guided her arm into the motion: "Like this, move the shoulder first, don’t fling the arm, and after the sequence ends, shift your right foot... Or maybe you should have Song Xi teach you; he’s really good at dancing, we all go to him for dance instructions."

Being told midway to switch teachers made her feel particularly dense.

Yu Xia silently held back for two seconds, feeling both frustrated and determined.

"Xie Qingci, Song Xi, can anyone help me? I can’t seem to get this damned move right."

She’s supposed to be nimble, but these eight-count moves were just not working, frustrating even the one teaching her.

Determined to master the move, she didn’t care who would teach her and wasn’t focused on Xie Qingci’s sour expression.

Song Xi adjusted his glasses, ultimately stepping forward to assist her.

"Focus on the coordination of hands and feet for this move. Whichever hand goes down, bend the same side’s knee... Not like this, let me show you again."

Yu Xia tucked the hair on her temple back behind her ear and gravely said: "Again."

What followed was repeated teaching and practice.

"Again."

"Once more."

"One more time, I think I’m getting it."

"From the top, with the following moves included."

"Again..."

Even after sweating profusely, she didn’t stop.

Xie Qingci pursed his lips, worriedly watching her.

The sweat dripping down her neck caused discomfort, but she only casually wiped it and continued practicing, her side profile revealing her serious focus.

"Take a break, Yu Xia, overtraining isn’t good for your knees."

Song Xi, also slightly out of breath, encouraged her: "Let’s pause for a bit, you don’t have a foundation, this isn’t something that happens overnight."

Yu Xia finally stepped away, and as she moved aside, Xie Qingci brought a chair over for her to sit and handed her a bottle of water.

"You did really well," Xie Qingci earnestly looked into her eyes, "When I first learned, difficult moves like these took me two days to really grasp."

The others chimed in with agreement. Yu Xia tilted her head back to drink, now in the mood for some lighthearted teasing with them.

"I was saying earlier not to push too hard, but trying it myself, I understand—if you don’t work hard, you really risk making a fool of yourself on stage. Did I really do well?"

The others chatted animatedly, praising her, and under the thoughtful lights, Xie Qingci softly said: "Really."
