    “I hereby announce the official opening of this national dancepetition. Now, please wee tonight’s first contestant, Meng Yan, a sophomore from Lin City University. Tonight, she will perform the dance ‘Rose in the Wind’ for us! Please wee!”


    After the host finished the opening remarks, the audience naturally erupted into apuse.


    Various media had set up cameras, eagerly waiting to see the first contestant’s performance.


    The curtain gradually rose, revealing a figure in a flowing red dress.


    Under the deliberate spotlight, she seemed like a me, yet also like a cluster of vibrant roses, continuously disying the dancer’s graceful figure and superb technique on stage.


    Meng Yan had been studying dance since she was young,ing from a family of dancers. Therefore, her basic skills were solid, and her dance technique was excellent.


    Mei Shu liked her dance very much. Even after the performance ended, she still felt a bit reluctant, “She’s really beautiful. As an opening act, she’s already stunning enough.”


    Lu Si also nodded, “Indeed, but 1 always feel that her dancecks a bit of charm and has a bit too much technique. She’s slightly better in terms of skill, but if she encounters stronger opponents, she mightckpetitiveness.”


    Mei Shu raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, “Do you have knowledge about dance?”


    “My mother used to love dancing,” Lu Si sighed, “Before marrying my father, she used to stand on stage and participate in various dancepetitions. She also liked ying the piano. Perhaps it was because my grandparents were quite strict, so my mother was aplished in many aspects.”


    “That depends on personal talent. Your mother is really amazing,” Mei Shu sincerely praised.


    Lu Si chuckled, “You’re talented too. After all, even though you’ve been reborn, not everyone can have a business mind like yours. In terms of managing thepany, there are probably few who can surpass you.”


    Mei Shu was amused by his words, and the two of them whispered secrets to each other amidst the deafening apuse.


    On stage, Meng Yan had been stealing nces at Lu Si’s side.


    Seeing him chatting intimately with Mei Shu all the time, and not even giving her a second nce, Meng Yan was almost enraged enough to crush the microphone in her hand!


    “Miss Meng Yan, please introduce yourself,” Feng Mo spoke first from the judges’ seat.


    Meng Yan snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, deliberately using an affected tone, “Hello, esteemed judges, hello to all the audience who havee to thispetition, hello to all the journalists from the news media. 1 am Meng Yan, a sophomore from Lin City University.”


    “The dance I’m performing this time is inspired by the roses in the wind. It’s a dance I created myself, and 1 hope everyone can see the bright beauty of the roses growing in the fields through me.”


    Feng Mo nodded approvingly, “We’ve seen your dance technique. Next, the four judges will score you based on your performance just now. Finally, all the scores will be added together and averaged to get your final score.”


    “Okay, thank you, esteemed judges,” Meng Yan was much more reserved on stage than in private.


    At least she knew clearly that this was not a ce where she could throw tantrums at will.


    Mei Shu leaned over to Lu Si’s ear, “How many points do you think she’ll get?”


    Lu Si pondered for a moment and said, “Thepetition is scored out of one hundred points. I think she’ll get ny-five.”


    Mei Shu didn’t say anything, eagerly awaiting the final result of thepetition along with everyone else present.


    Soon, the host received all the scores from the judges, entered them into the backstageputer, calcted the final score, and announced in front of all the media, “Congrattions to Miss Meng Yan for scoring ny-five points! Please allow Miss Meng Yan to rest temporarily. Now, let’s wee the second contestant!”


    “You guessed it right!” Mei Shu eximed in surprise.


    Lu Si modestly smiled, and at the same time, he tentatively touched her hand to check her temperature, “I guessed randomly. Your hands are so cold. You should put on your coat.”


    As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket and put it on Mei Shu.


    When Meng Yan came down from the stage, she happened to see this scene. Through the ring spotlight, she clearly saw the tender and doting smile on Lu Si’s face. The tide of jealousy in her heart was about to engulf her.


    “Please wee the second contestant!”


    The host repeated the same words, actually reminding her to leave the stage immediately and not to dy the next stage of thepetition.


    Meng Yan was so angry that she almost bit her back teeth to pieces. She watched Mei Shu being personally wrapped in Lu Si’s coat, then turned her head and left, swaying her skirt.


    In the dressing room.


    Ruan Ning was boredly scrolling through her phone.


    She was reading thements about Meng Yan just now.


    Thispetition was live streamed throughout, and the dancers were pouring out their sweat on stage, whileizens were also active in thement section.


    Meng Yan performed well, directly raising the expectations for the entirepetition.


    But there were also different voices exposing scandals in thements.


    “Isn’t this Miss Bully from our school? How can someone like her participate in a national dancepetition?”
