The monthly examination was coming soon. These few days, Bai Zhen had been deliberately avoiding Qiu Ying, and Qiu Ying didn't find a chance to explain to Bai Zhen.
Therefore, she planned to explain to Bai Zhen after the monthly examination and the audition. At that time, she would drag Bai Zhen to her and tell her everything she wanted to know!
The examination halls for the monthly examination were arranged according to their grades. Jiang Lin and the others had no previous grades for reference before they transferred, so they were naturally assigned to the last examination hall.
Yao Yu looked at the test paper. He wrote whatever he knew and randomly wrote answers for those he didn't know. The paper was full of words, and he looked confident when he wrote. He looked like a genius, and the people sitting beside him stole a few glances.
Jiang Lin and Lin Zhao were also answering seriously. In the examination hall for those at the bottom of the grade, only these three people were answering attentively. They stopped writing at the end of every exam.
After the monthly examination, it was the National Day holiday. As the senior class only had three days off, and it was after the final examination, the teachers didn't assign any more homework. They only asked everyone to be ready for class on October 4th!
The class cheered.
October 8th
Qiu Ying's performance was at 10:30, but she still woke up early. After warming up at home and practicing, she washed up and put on some light makeup before pulling her small suitcase with her dance clothes and makeup. She wore a baseball cap and went out.
The venue for the "Ancient Dance Cup" competition was at the exhibition center in S City. It was nine o'clock when Qiu Ying arrived at the audition venue. At this moment, the venue was already crowded.
The convention center was an indoor venue. The "Ancient Dance Cup" divided the venue into three areas. One was the performance area, one was the reserve area, and the other was the waiting area.
There were only three judges and five staff members in the performance area. Only one contestant could enter at a time. The performance content was absolutely confidential before it was made public.
The reserve area could only accommodate 10 people at a time. As the name suggested, it was where they went as they prepared to go to the performance area. They could start changing after entering the reserve area.
The waiting area was for everyone else. There were contestants and many relatives and friends who had come to cheer them on.
Qiu Ying stood in line with the printed registration form and changed her number plate. However, when she walked out of the line, she was suddenly stopped. Qiu Ying was shocked and was about to scream when she turned around and saw that it was Su Xu.
"Brother Su Xu, you scared me to death!"
Su Xu flashed his white teeth as he grinned. "I'll be your support."
Qiu Ying smiled. "Brother Su Xu, most of them came here on their own." Then, Qiu Ying thought of something and hurriedly asked, "You didn't tell them, right?"
Su Xu looked at the girl dotingly. "I told you that I'm the only one. As long as you can let me contact you and you're really here to participate in the competition, I'll keep my promise. I'll tell Mo Wei and your mother after your competition ends."
Su Xu was the son of Qiu Ying's stepfather's neighbor, and Mo Wei was her stepfather's son. After Qiu Ying's father died, her mother married her stepfather, Mo Tan.
Su Xu was admitted to a university in S City. That day, Su Xu happened to pass by No. 3 High School and saw Qiu Ying walking out.
Qiu Ying told Su Xu that her mother didn't allow her to participate in the "Ancient Dance Cup", so she ran away from home. She also threatened Su Xu that if he told them, she would find a way to run away. She also promised Su Xu that she would go home after the competition. This was what they had agreed on in the conversation just now.
The two of them spoke for a while before they heard the reserve area broadcasting Qiu Ying's name. After bidding farewell to Su Xu, Qiu Ying entered the reserve area.
"I feel so happy now that I can see Professor Jiang Yu later!"
"Me too! I'm so lucky that she came to our competition area to be a judge this year. I've already watched her 'Spring Rain' hundreds of times!"
"And 'Flourish' as well. She's really a god in the classical dance world!"
"Who do you think our direct advancement card will be given to? We've already competed for ten days. Is it all for nothing?"
Qiu Ying sat in the corner and listened to everyone's conversation while feeling calm.
Back then, her teacher had let her focus on practicing and had not let her participate in any competitions. Her teacher had expected her to become famous with a single dance. If it weren't for her father's accidental death, she would have participated in the "Ancient Dance Cup" last year. Moreover, her teacher had choreographed the dance and her father had composed it.
After her rebirth, she didn't use that dance anymore. Instead, she chose to create dances herself. In her previous life, she died in the water. Now, she wanted to be reborn in the water!
"Contestant 578, Qiu Ying, please enter the performance area!"
