Chapter 78: If Only You Could Be As Diligent As Pei Jie

[Don’t tell me she’s really going to [Dance Trainee]? Does Shi Xi know how to dance?]

[If Shi Xi goes to [Dance Trainee], then I won’t watch this show!]

[Recently, Shi Xi has been doing too much marketing, hasn’t she? Previously, she bought a fan account, but now she’s still so arrogant in buying hot searches?]

[Other than being good-looking, what other advantages does Shi Xi have? If she’s good-looking, then she can enter the entertainment industry, right?]

[Hello? My idol just has to be pretty. If she’s not pretty, how can she enter the entertainment industry?]

[The black fans are starting to get anxious seeing that Shi Xi is going to become popular, right? Huh?]

[Shi Xi only went to the dance studio once. Why are there so many people paying attention to her?]

[…]

After seeing the trending searches online, Ji Yin immediately contacted the company and asked about Shi Xi’s schedule.

When she found out that Shi Xi was not going to [Dance Trainee], she heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, those who could go to [Dance Trainee] were either extremely talented or extremely diligent dancers.

Shi Xi was only good-looking. If she went there, she would just be a flower vase, and she would definitely be scolded.

Thus, Ji Yin used the Weibo account of Shi Xi’s fan club to make a statement, clarifying that Shi Xi did not have any recent announcements about [Dance Trainee]. At the same time, she called for everyone to stay away from Shi Xi’s personal life.

When she said this, the netizens all thought that Shi Xi didn’t know how to dance, and even Shi Xi’s fans thought that she was just a vase.

Not long after this topic became trending, it gradually cooled down and dropped off the trending searches.

On the other hand, there were some bloggers who released the melons from [Star Idol], saying that XXX, XX, and the others would participate in the talent show.

The comments below were all:

[Who is this? Don’t know her?]

[She looks average.]

[It’s another year’s talent show season.]

[…]

No one associated Shi Xi with [Star Idol].

The internet was changing with each passing day, and there was a lot of discussion.

Shi Xi had no idea about this at all. Every day, she would immerse herself in the dance studio, living a two-tiered lifestyle — the dance studio.

As she went there more often, Shi Xi got to know Pei Jie.

Every time, Shi Xi would go to the dance studio on time. She would rarely arrive early or late.

However, Pei Jie was not.

Every time, Pei Jie would come half an hour early to warm up. Then, when his class was over, Pei Jie would go to the dance teacher.

“He used the money he earned from his work to learn how to dance.” The dance teacher was very fond of Pei Jie as a student. He said to Shi Xi, “He used to take large classes. Now, he is taking private lessons. He cherishes the time he has to learn how to dance.”

Shi Xi knew that private lessons were more expensive, but Pei Jie did not seem to have much money.

The dance teacher sighed. “If only you were as diligent as Pei Jie.”

Shi Xi: “!?”

Why was she suddenly implicated?!

“If Pei Jie had the talent to learn how to dance like you, he would have already made a name for himself,” the dance teacher sighed again.

Shi Xi was speechless. “Thank you, Teacher, for praising me for my talent.”

She had only learned ancient martial arts before, so she was faster at memorizing movements.

As for diligence…

This body was not used to high-intensity training. After the first dance practice, her entire body was sore and aching, plus the injuries on her body.

Shi Xi also wanted to be diligent, but her body did not allow it!

“Hurry up and finish learning the last part. Then, you can end your class,” the dance teacher urged. “Pei Jie will be here soon.”

Shi Xi slowly stood up and asked, “Does Pei Jie have a company?”

“Yes, he signed a small company,” the dance teacher whispered. “A small, empty company. It’s just a scam to get the termination fee. Otherwise, why would Pei Jie need to earn his own money to attend class?”

As the two of them spoke, Pei Jie came in from outside.

The dance teacher and Shi Xi tacitly shut up. They stopped discussing Pei Jie and started class.

Pei Jie still walked to the side and began to warm up.
