“I hereby announce the official opening of this national dance competition. Now, please welcome 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 welcome!”

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

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 flame, yet also like a cluster of vibrant roses, continuously displaying the dancer’s graceful figure and superb technique on stage.

Meng Yan had been studying dance since she was young, coming 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 dance lacks 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 might lack competitiveness.”

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 dance competitions. She also liked playing the piano. Perhaps it was because my grandparents were quite strict, so my mother was accomplished 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 the company, 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 applause.

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

Seeing him chatting intimately with Mei Shu all the time, and not even giving her a second glance, 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 have come to this competition, 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 place 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, “The competition is scored out of one hundred points. I think she’ll get ninety-five.”

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

Soon, the host received all the scores from the judges, entered them into the backstage computer, calculated the final score, and announced in front of all the media, “Congratulations to Miss Meng Yan for scoring ninety-five points! Please allow Miss Meng Yan to rest temporarily. Now, let’s welcome the second contestant!”

“You guessed it right!” Mei Shu exclaimed 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 glaring 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 welcome the second contestant!”

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

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 the comments about Meng Yan just now.

This competition was live streamed throughout, and the dancers were pouring out their sweat on stage, while netizens were also active in the comment section.

Meng Yan performed well, directly raising the expectations for the entire competition.

But there were also different voices exposing scandals in the comments.

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