Chapter 482: Chapter 480: Finished
Ji Niandong and Jiang Chao haven’t had much contact before; this is their first collaboration with Zheng MiMi.
As they stood at the edge of the stage ready to go on, it was Ji Niandong who first extended her hand. With some experience now, she didn’t appear as awkward as Jiang Chao.
She held out her hand for a moment before Jiang Chao took it, though it was more of a touch than a grasp.
It wasn’t until the two stepped onto the stage together that Jiang Chao led her over to the visibly disappointed Zheng MiMi and said, "Thank you for teaching me how to confess. Tongtong and I are together now, and since today is Valentine’s Day, we’re going to celebrate first. I’ll treat you to a meal next time."
Ji Niandong, being tugged along, was full of girlish shyness. "Thank you, Mi’er. I’ve liked Jiang Chao for a long time too. If it weren’t for you, neither of us would have dared to speak up."
Her voice was low and soft, as she had filmed idol dramas before, she grasped the feeling of experiencing love for the first time quite well.
It’s a pity that she didn’t draw the performance!
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chao suddenly tightened his grip on her hand. Ji Niandong clearly felt his palms sweating; wasn’t everyone tense right now?
After all, they were just supporting roles. The light directly illuminated Zheng MiMi’s face, and she looked at their tightly clasped hands. Her smile gradually turned dry and stiff until it completely faded away. Then she forced out another smile, "Congratulations, since today’s Valentine’s Day, I won’t disturb you. I’ll be leaving first!"
She smartly left, leaving behind a staggering silhouette on stage.
The light shifted to Zheng MiMi’s figure leaning against the wall. She seemed to clutch at the wall for support, but eventually found herself powerless, sitting down on the ground. She looked around blankly, as if abandoned.
When the time came, the stage lights all illuminated, and Ji Niandong rushed over to pull Zheng MiMi up, cheerfully saying, "Little Mi’er, you acted so well just now!"
Unable to resist, she pinched her face, to which Zheng MiMi then responded, swallowing and asking, "Really?"
"Of course! Not only losing someone she likes but also a good sister, a double blow, the expression was spot on."
Zheng MiMi then blinked, her eyes already red, tears suddenly streamed down.
She wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and threw herself into Ji Niandong’s arms, exclaiming, "Oh my, Sister Tong, I was so nervous!"
She continued to hold onto her, while Ji Niandong let her do so.
It wasn’t until Jiang Chao came over and said, "The performance was good just now."
Only then did Zheng MiMi rise from Ji Niandong, offering a faint smile, seeming a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and replied, "Thank you!"
The other people also gradually appeared on stage, and Zheng MiMi pulled Ji Niandong and said, "Sister Tong, you haven’t chosen your outfit yet. What kind of dance are you planning?"
"I had initially learned a Korean modern dance recently, but seeing your performance, I feel mine is just for fun." Ji Niandong was truly troubled.
Jiang Chao approached and asked, "Is there anything we can help with?"
Zheng MiMi quickly nodded, "Jiang Chao’s dance skills are impressive, and I have some dance background too."
Not just some! Once I saw Zheng MiMi dance a folk dance, her figure... But even with their help, the skilled dancer wouldn’t be her!
"I’ll go choose an outfit first!" Ji Niandong dejectedly headed to the dressing room.
Zheng MiMi looked up and exchanged glances with Jiang Chao, as if both were worried for her.
The dressing room’s costumes were prepared by the studio for this exam. Ji Niandong went in, selected a few, then turned and saw a sapphire blue long dress to the side. On impulse, she took it down to try on.
The size was just right!
