Upon being exposed to Li Yundong's pure Yang energy, the gazes of these girls, once turned toward the handsome man on stage, now viewed him as effeminate to the point of being sickeningly repulsive.
Even Zhuang Hui, who was dancing on stage, couldn't help but have her gaze firmly snagged, feeling even more stunned than when she saw Su Chan: "Who is this guy?"
Since ancient times, the more beautiful a woman, the heavier her inherent Yin energy, and the more easily she is attracted to men brimming with strong Yang energy, and vice versa; the more heroic and upright a man, the heavier his Yang energy, and the more easily he is drawn to women full of Yin energy.
The adage that beauties love heroes, and heroes love beauties, stems from this very principle.
The moment Little Fox appeared, the handsome backup dancers lost their rhythm slightly; when Li Yundong appeared, even Zhuang Hui, who was dancing on stage, began making mistakes, the two of them moving stiffly on stage like zombies.
Little Fox stood below the stage, took the milk tea Li Yundong handed her, took a sip, and asked, "What are they doing?"
Li Yundong laughed, "They're dancing, can't you tell?"
Little Fox's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in shock, "What? Aren't they performing a spirit dance?"
These words were a direct slap in the face. Zhuang Hui heard it clearly in her ears, her foot slipped, and she crashed onto the floor with a loud clank. Instinctively, she pushed up with her hand to prevent her prosthetic breast from being damaged by the hard impact, but her wrist made a crack sound, and her entire situation became disastrous.
The students and judging teachers in the audience instantly erupted in an uproar.
Feng Na laughed uncontrollably on the side: "Good fall, good fall! Why didn't she break her fake breast!"
Cheng Cheng chastised, "Hey, those are my lines!"
Feng Na completely ignored her and rushed straight onto the stage, feigning concern: "Oh dear, what happened, where did you fall? Oh my, if you hurt your hand, how will you dance? Wouldn't all that practice time be wasted?"
Zhuang Hui's face flushed deep purple, a mixture of fury and resentment, tears welling up in her eyes.
One teacher couldn't stand it, stood up, and angrily pointed at Su Chan's retreating back: "You student, where are you from? Why are you causing trouble? Get out, you're not welcome here!"
Little Fox Su Chan turned her face around and said with an aggrieved air, "I didn't mean to."
Her pitiful appearance immediately softened the backbone of this sanctimonious teacher. He coughed dryly, his expression changing as swiftly as turning a page: "Oh, I see. Then it must be a misunderstanding. Just try to watch your volume, don't speak so loudly."
The surrounding teachers and students heard this and felt a profound sense of disdain: Lust over humanity!
Li Yundong was unaware of the history between Zhuang Hui and Feng Na. Seeing Feng Na so agitated, he said to Su Chan, "Look at you, causing trouble the moment you open your mouth. Now look, what should we do?"
Su Chan pouted and replied, "Then I'll go help her fix it."
Saying this, she took a small hop and leaped onto the stage, walking over and reaching out to grab Zhuang Hui's arm.
Having suffered such a public humiliation, Zhuang Hui currently hated Su Chan to death. She dodged her arm, weeping as she angrily retorted, "Don't you dare touch me!"
Su Chan turned back, looking helplessly at Li Yundong. Li Yundong had no choice but to swiftly spring up, executing a perfect dry-land leap onto the stage, his posture so elegant and powerful it made the onlookers' eyes brighten.
Li Yundong offered Zhuang Hui a friendly smile: "Classmate, what was said just now was unintentional, and the hearing was coincidental. Please don't be angry. Let her take a look; she is quite capable."
When Zhuang Hui saw Li Yundong smile at her, her heart tightened as if it might stop beating. She forgot the sharp pain in her wrist and merely nodded dazedly.
Su Chan then reached out and grasped Zhuang Hui's palm and forearm, felt around, and said, "It's nothing, just a dislocated wrist."
With that, she applied force with both hands, and with a crack, she set it back into place.
Zhuang Hui snapped back to reality, letting out a scream of pain.
Su Chan released Zhuang Hui's hand and said, "There! No problem!"
Zhuang Hui tentatively moved her wrist, then shouted out in surprise and delight, "My hand is fine!"
The female backup dancers on stage gathered around, curiously examining Zhuang Hui's hand, and looking at Su Chan with awe, though their gazes often shifted to Li Yundong standing beside her.
Zhuang Hui’s hand was healed, but she had no intention of thanking Su Chan. In her mind, her injury was caused by Su Chan’s remark, and she was more interested in using this opportunity to cozy up to the handsome man before her.
Zhuang Hui was quite beautiful, with large eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows; when she gave a sweet smile, she was quite flirtatious: "Handsome, what's your name? I've never seen you before!"
Feng Na, standing nearby, thought to herself: This slut is just blatantly flirting with men, how shameless! Wait, doesn't this handsome guy look a little familiar? Hold on, isn't the beauty next to him...? No way, is that Li Yundong?
Li Yundong smiled at Zhuang Hui: "My name is Li Yundong, nice to meet you."
Zhuang Hui suddenly widened her eyes, her expression utterly priceless, as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes twitched slightly, and she stammered, "You, you’re Li Yundong?"
Li Yundong laughed, "None other than!"
Zhuang Hui suddenly shouted, "Impossible, weren't you very fat?"
Li Yundong frowned slightly, his gaze turning cool: "Haven't you heard the saying that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days apart?"
Zhuang Hui secretly regretted saying something so foolish, causing this handsome man to suddenly become distant toward her.
Li Yundong turned to Feng Na and said, "Senior sister, did you sort out my issue for me?"
Before Feng Na could reply, an angry voice boomed from below the stage—it was Director Qian.
"Li Yundong? What are you doing up there? Get down, get down quickly, don't delay the rehearsal!" Director Qian's expression was grim. He was determined to have Li Yundong expelled; keeping him around would be a ticking time bomb, potentially exposing the fact that he had once pursued Su Chan.
Even if this incident wouldn't affect his status or position, anyone in the field of education cherished their reputation and feared behind-the-scenes gossip.
After speaking, Director Qian angrily swept back his hair, an action that seemed intended to assert his authority.
Zhou Qin walked over at this moment, offering a slight smile: "Director Qian, may I discuss something with you?"
Director Qian turned his head, and his face instantly bloomed with a smile as dazzling as flowers: "Oh, it's Zhou Qin. What is it? Please, speak your mind."
Zhou Qin asked, "I hear you are planning to expel Li Yundong?"
The smile on Director Qian's face instantly stiffened: "How did you know?"
Zhou Qin smiled without answering and said, "Can you grant me a favor and not expel him?"
Director Qian cursed inwardly in fury. What was so great about this Li Yundong? Why were so many beautiful women siding with him? Zhou Qin, famously cold-faced and cold-hearted, was helping Li Yundong again and again! Had she really taken a liking to him?
Director Qian’s face darkened, and he pondered without speaking.
Zhou Qin frowned inwardly. She had expected Director Qian to agree immediately but hadn't anticipated this old fellow putting on airs!
Suppressing her impatience, Zhou Qin asked, "Director Qian, may I presume to ask, have you had any conflict with him?"
Upon hearing this, Director Qian immediately declared righteously, "No! Do you think I'm the type to seek personal revenge? No! I simply feel this student is completely out of line. Look how much trouble he has caused in just a few days, and he parades around with a non-student girl all day, which has an extremely negative influence!"
Zhou Qin's lips curled, her smile turning somewhat sharp: "Even if you must expel him, shouldn't it be after the exchange meeting is over, right? He is currently covering Zhao Yujian's slot. You are magnanimous enough not to haggle over this with him, aren't you?"
Director Qian sized up Zhou Qin, then suddenly smiled: "Very well, on your account, I will let him stay until the exchange meeting is over! But I want to state clearly here: I intend to kick out such a rotten apple as soon as possible!"
With that, he turned and left.
Zhou Qin was furious internally, but her composure was excellent, showing nothing on her face. Ding Nan, standing beside her, spat, sneered coldly, "What a thing. The way he looked at you just now, it was like he wanted to devour you!"
Zhou Qin pursed her lips, said no more, and simply nodded toward Feng Na in the distance.
Feng Na was overjoyed and nodded back at Zhou Qin, expressing her gratitude.
Having completed the task entrusted by Feng Na, Zhou Qin felt incredibly restless. She turned to leave, but Ding Nan nearby asked curiously, "Aren't you going to watch the next act?"
Zhou Qin frowned: "Not watching."
Ding Nan smiled, winking mischievously: "Feng Na went to such trouble to get him on stage. Aren't you curious what Li Yundong will perform?"
Zhou Qin paused in her steps, ultimately turning back. She crossed her arms over her chest and said with a frown, "Only for one minute."
Ding Nan smiled, but inwardly scoffed: Hypocrite!
On stage, Feng Na patted Li Yundong's shoulder vigorously and said, "You're lucky; the issue is settled. Time to fulfill your obligation!"
Li Yundong was straightforward, saying to Su Chan, "Be good, go wait for me downstairs."
Su Chan nodded obediently, jumped off the stage, took a sip of her milk tea, and then waved at Li Yundong, saying, "Go for it!"
Li Yundong smiled at her, the expression sunny and brilliant, causing the surrounding girls' hearts to flutter.
Li Yundong turned back to Feng Na and asked, "What do I need to do?"
Feng Na told him, "It's simple. First, strike a few sparring poses with your teammates, then perform a special segment."
Li Yundong nodded, "No problem!"
