56.2 - The Panda Cub Bows For Love

"Yes, so I wanted to ask if you need any help right now. I can assist with teaching, of course, you would need to pay me the teaching fee, following your normal hourly rate." He hesitated slightly when He said this, fearing that others might think He was taking advantage of His fame. Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes immediately lit up. Who is He? He is the most award-winning chief dancer! Usually, it's harder than climbing to the sky to ask her for teaching. Yet now she took the initiative to offer to teach! She nodded eagerly, saying excitedly, "We do need help! But He, you won't be teaching them, you will be teaching us!" She then pointed to the teachers who were currently instructing. Teaching at the level of He would be wasted on that group who have just started learning to dance. It is those with a dance foundation like them who truly need the instruction! He was momentarily speechless, not expecting such a turn of events. "But if I teach you all, what about these children? Won't they have no one to teach them?" "It's fine, it's fine! I'll talk to them and let them know that today's class will be postponed, and we will make it up to them later!" She clasped her hands together in a pitiful manner, saying, "Please, He, we are all students from the Dance Academy. Teaching these children is just a way for us to earn some extra money in our free time. We have assessments coming up soon, so could you please help us identify any issues?" Jing Dan watched her behavior, furrowing her brows slightly. Does asking for help require such a coquettish attitude? She hummed disapprovingly to herself. He smiled wryly, "Okay, bring them over, I'll do my best." The girl cheered and hurried off to find the others. He turned and took Jing Dan to buy some snacks and ice cream on the side, saying to her, "I'll need you to wait for me here later. I'll take you to eat something delicious after class." "Okay." Jing Dan understood that He had things to attend to, so she obediently nodded. In the following time, He instructed those people on how to perform their movements more gracefully while pointing out their own issues. Jing Dan sat on the steps, snacking and waiting for He. - Oh my, is this a scene of waiting for a girlfriend after class! - What do you mean by waiting for a girlfriend after class? Don't you think Jing is so obedient! (Cat spying.jpg) - Oh, heaven has sent me a partner, someone like He or someone like Jing, I'm not choosy at all! - (Cat's disdain.jpg) Upstairs, mind your own business! When He finished teaching, He received the hourly teaching fee of five hundred. Initially, He didn't want to accept that much payment, but the girl insisted that the value she provided during the class far exceeded that sum. If it weren't for He's persistent refusal, they would have invited him and Jing Dan for a meal. He couldn't help but smile lightly. These kids were sincere. Coming back with the money, He found Jing Dan and waved it in front of her, saying, "We can afford a feast now~" Perhaps Jing Dan had never eaten a "feast" that cost five hundred before. Jing Dan looked up, pursed her lips, and smiled gently at him. Seeing her like this, He was momentarily puzzled, but then found it amusing. If He didn't know that this girl was naive and still had a lot to learn, He might have thought she liked him. - Oh my, Jing actually smiled! So lovely! - Darn it, always smiling at He. Don't you see anyone else! Nevertheless, regardless of the discussion Jing's smile stirred online, He took her to a nearby seafood restaurant, spending over six hundred together. It seemed fitting for a satisfying meal. Next, the two of them seemed to film a mukbang, eating in a visually delightful manner. When this clip was broadcast, everyone felt hungry and craved seafood, especially the seafood hand-peeled by He! Jing Dan ate shrimp and crab meat that He had peeled, whispering, "You can eat on your own, no need to bother about me." He chuckled lightly, "It's okay, I'm eating too." He then ladled a bowl of seafood porridge and placed it next to Jing Dan. Accustomed to taking slightly more care of her when they were together, He felt a gentle smile infecting Him as he watched her eat contentedly. After dinner, the company's other couple had returned and were chatting in the lobby. They stood up to greet He and Jing Dan as soon as they entered. Jing Dan nodded lightly to them, following He to sit in the lobby. "He, Jing, the director said they will make an announcement after Jiang Ya and the others are done cleaning up," Zheng Wei said. "Yes, but it might take them a while to clean up. Should we play some cards to pass the time?" He suggested. "Will you play?" He leaned over to whisper in Jing Dan's ear. Jing Dan tensed, looked solemnly at Ning Yi Ming dealing the cards, nodded seriously, and whispered back, "A bit!" He chuckled softly. If she knew how to play, why did she look so tense? During this time, they peacefully played cards, while upstairs, one of the guests was taking a shower and getting frustrated. They immediately called their manager, cursing the show and demanding to be taken back! "Don't forget the purpose of going on this show," the manager replied coldly. Bian Feng Yu immediately woke up, thinking of Jing Dan, gritted his teeth and held back. As long as he could get with Jing Dan, he would have everything. Coming downstairs, he found that everyone except himself had gathered. Jiang Ya was smiling as he watched them play cards, the atmosphere so harmonious that it seemed glaring. "What are you playing?" He said as he walked towards Jing Dan, then leaned over to look at her cards and commented, "Jing, your cards are really good. You're probably going to win this round." Jing Dan: "..." Did you just reveal my cards to someone else like that? He's expression grew colder as he handed the cards to Jiang Ya to play, sitting next to Jing Dan and watching her play. The subtle assertion of dominance was understood by the intelligent ones present, exchanging knowing glances silently. Only Bian Feng Yu seemed somewhat displeased with He's actions. Not seeing that he was already talking with Jing Dan, why did she approach us? After one round, the director came over at the right time, looking mischievous. "Good evening, guests. We will now play a little game. This game will determine if you can sleep with your CP tonight!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Wei raised his hand, trembling slightly, "Weren't we not sleeping together? Isn't it unnecessary for us to participate in this game?" The director, stifling a laugh, looked over, "If you lose, Ning Yi Ming will have to sleep on the floor in your room. Of course, your room will also have three or four male and female staff entering with you to sleep, with the whole process recorded by a camera." Zheng Wei: "..." Is this getting even more bizarre? "Next, the first game will test the harmony between the CPs. We have prepared ten questions, and the CP with the most correct answers wins a point." "Wait a minute, since it's a game, you only mentioned the punishment. What about the reward?" Ning Yi Ming raised his hand to ask. "Good question. For each winning round, you will receive an eraser card to erase the requests from fans. Of course, you can only use one eraser card per day." This announcement excited them. With an eraser card, they would have confidence! Who knows what weird requests their fans would come up with in the future! The crew then separated everyone, not allowing them to whisper, and gave them pens and papers to fill in the answers. He couldn't help but smile when he received the questions. Were these really just simple questions? #What is your CP's favorite food?# #What color does your CP like?# #What moment left the deepest impression on you both?# A total of ten questions was given. He looked at them briefly and began writing down answers very decisively. Similarly, Jing Dan did the same. Their pens glided smoothly over the paper. The other two CPs struggled a bit. Zheng Wei and his partner were familiar with each other, having acted together before, so they had some understanding. However, Bian Feng Yu's CP was a product of hype, how much could they really know about each other? They were essentially guessing. When the answers were collected, Bian Feng Yu's face had darkened. He appeared relaxed, casually even helping Jing Dan shell the pistachios on the table and snack. - I just love He's calm and kingly demeanor! - Help, haha, high alert! - Next, brace for the high-energy moment! The director received the answer cards, looked at He and Jing Dan, tallied the scores, and announced, "The winners of this round are the Yi Yi Shenghui team! They answered a total of five questions correctly!" He, who had been wearing a confident smile, froze as the smile stiffened on his face. He looked incredulously at the director. They hadn't won? There were less than five correct answers between him and Jing Dan? - Help, I'm dying of laughter, He's expression is completely frozen! - Haha, He was so confident earlier, but the turnaround was too quick! He turned to look at Jing Dan, who had a similarly perplexed expression, and was speechless. Next, when their answers were revealed, it felt like they were being publicly executed. For the question about the CP's favorite food, He answered bamboo shoots, while her own answer was water chestnut. However, Jing Dan correctly answered water chestnut as the favorite food, but her favorite food was listed as jelly. When the director announced this answer, He's face stiffened, turning to look at Jing Dan, who in turn averted her gaze as if feeling embarrassed. He: "..." She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her favorite jelly triumphed over her choice of bamboo shoots. Well, it's fine, it's a good thing. If Jing Dan can appreciate her choices, even better. - Oh? Surprisingly, the divine beauty also likes these snacks? - Unbelievable, the divine beauty's favorite is actually jelly! Both got the color question right, but when it came to the moment that left the deepest impression, He thought they would write about their first meeting, yet Jing Dan wrote about eating jelly in front of He... He's face completely froze, this little mischief, did she even realize what she was saying? However, Jing Dan appeared innocent, sticking to the truth she knew. He rested a hand on his forehead, not in the mood to continue hearing the following answers, or she might get too frustrated! In the end, they got two questions right, just one more than the adjacent Jiang Ya's team. He's inner thoughts at that moment were summed up in two words: utterly embarrassing! (End of this chapter)
