Chapter 204 Shy yet reassured

Jiang Yang leaned forward slightly and then quickly leaned back.

I am not interested in Im Min for the time being.

It wasn't because Im Min wasn't good-looking or lacked professional skills; it was mainly because the system popped up another notification.

[Insufficient character progression slots prevent binding]

Including Yang Chaoyue, there are currently only five development slots.

For each character Yang Chaoyue finishes filming, two character development sections are automatically unlocked.

There are no more.

If we want to get a new leading lady involved, we need to assign Yang Chaoyue more roles.

If I assign roles to other actresses, will I be able to unlock new character development sections after filming wraps?

It's not certain yet.

Let's see if Zhang Ruonan can achieve the same effect as Yang Chaoyue after she finishes playing a minor role in "Go Fighting!" and unlock a new development path for her.

"What strength do I have?" Liu Haochun said with a relaxed expression.

Ren Min grasped Liu Haochun's hands with both of his: "Your flexibility, as well as your choreography and combination skills, every teacher in the class praises you. If you didn't have the ability, I wouldn't have come here. Needless to say, you will definitely pass the exam."

Tian Xiwei noticed that Liu Haochun was talking to Ren Min.

She wasn't interested in listening.

Pay attention to whether any staff members come in through the front door and call your name.

Looking up, she glanced at the other candidates, then quickly looked down, afraid of being noticed for her unease.

I was so nervous that I saw everyone as an examiner, and I even wanted to bow to the cleaning lady.

Occasionally, gently bite the inside of your lower lip with your teeth.

This is her habit of controlling her nervousness whenever she is about to enter the examination room.

Jiang Yang then asked, "Haochun, your classmate?"

"Yes, her name is Ren Min." Upon hearing this, Liu Haochun introduced Ren Min to Jiang Yang.

Then, introducing Jiang Yang to Ren Min, he said, "This is Jiang Yang, he's me..."

He paused briefly to clear his throat.

I was about to say that Jiang Yang was my boss, but then I felt it wasn't appropriate.

The agreement hasn't been signed yet because of my age; my parents need to review it.

Liu Haochun changed his tune, saying, "He's my friend, from Chongqing. He's also the lead actor in 'A Little Reunion,' and his scenes are almost finished."

"Is it that film crew that has a set at Haidian Middle School?"

Ren Min's eyes lit up: "I heard Huang Lei is in there too, and the producer is Xu Xiaoou, who worked on 'Empresses in the Palace'... That's amazing."

Ren Min extended his hand to Jiang Yang: "Um, Jiang..."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Jiang Yang."

"Um, Jiang Yang, can I shake your hand? I'd like to get a feel for your skills." Ren Min's tone was a little awkward.

"Yeah, Jiang Yang is the one with real strength. What am I?" Liu Haochun said, then muttered to himself: His strength is abnormally high.

Jiang Yang raised his hand and shook hands with Ren Min, only holding the other's fingertips.

There wasn't much communication.

Faced with Xiao Hua, whose attributes he couldn't obtain, Jiang Yang simply maintained basic politeness and courtesy.

Liu Haochun continued his introduction, his gaze passing over Jiang Yang and landing on Tian Xiwei: "This is Tian Xiwei, also from Wudu, from the same school as Jiang Yang, Wudu Tongliang Middle School, and also my friend."

I overheard them talking about themselves.

Tian Xiwei came to her senses.

Upon noticing Ren Min standing in front of her, she said, "Tian Xiwei, you have such big eyes! I'm Hao Chun's classmate. Are you an actor too? Can I shake your hand and learn from your skills?"

"What?"

Before Tian Xiwei could react.

Ren Min had already taken her hands in his, warmed them, and said in a light voice, "We'll definitely pass the exam, right, Tian Xiwei?"

"what?"

"Bye-bye, I'm going to the battlefield."

"Oh, bye-bye."

Seeing Ren Min wave goodbye to her, Tian Xiwei also waved back with restraint.

He then leaned forward and asked Jiang Yang and Liu Haochun, "Who is this guy? Where did he come from? He's quite cute. He suddenly grabbed my hand and was so enthusiastic that I was startled and almost punched him."

After chatting for a while, I learned that this was Liu Haochun's classmate.

She's not particularly good-looking, and her personality isn't actually that outgoing. She just seems a bit more enthusiastic because she's close to Liu Haochun and knows that Jiang Yang and Tian Xiwei are Liu Haochun's friends.

Like Liu Haochun, she was in Class B of the Huaxia Dance program at the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy in 10.

Tian Xiwei remained silent, still caught up in the tense atmosphere before the exam.

Jiang Yang opened Kuaishou on his phone and casually swiped the screen to kill time.

When she came across a video of a water slide, Tian Xi turned slightly to look at it, captivated by the scene: "What's that?"

"A water slide, from a water park in Xi'an."

Jiang Yang noticed that Tian Xiwei was watching, so he moved his phone screen a little closer.

The video is shot from a first-person perspective, showing the Hurricane Tower at Xi'an Lehua City Water Park.

Looking up from the pool at the base of the tower, the camera clearly captures tourists gliding down the nearly vertical slide with a 65-meter drop.

"It's so high, it looks like someone is jumping off a building." Tian Xiwei watched the whole video.

"That's why humans are amazing."

"What's so amazing about it?"

"I wouldn't dare jump off a building, but I'd dare put down a board."

When he was younger, Jiang Yang especially liked to play on thrilling rides at amusement parks, but now he's too scared. As he gets older, he's become a coward.

They were so driven back then. Even though their families were well-off, they insisted on going to big cities to work like slaves, to prove their abilities, and refused to rely on their families. They were holding onto a grudge.

He's like a complete idiot.

Let him live off his parents now, he won't feel any psychological burden at all.

He asked his parents for money, asking for 100,000 yuan right off the bat.

My husband's Mercedes S-Class will be driven away after the Chinese New Year.

My skin is as thick as a city wall, so I don't care how my parents blame me for being unfilial.

As long as there is no morality, there is no fear of moral blackmail.

"Brother Yang, what were you thinking, setting up such a dangerous ride at the amusement park? And how dare the tourists go on it?" Tian Xiwei watched with trepidation.

"The amusement park organizers might think, 'If tourists dare to come, they must be fearless.'"

Jiang Yang said seriously, "Tourists will think, 'If an amusement park dares to open, it must be guaranteed to be a success.'"

Tian Xiwei couldn't understand and was deeply shocked.

She chuckled, "It seems like something's going on."

Suddenly, she felt Jiang Yang gently grasp her hand: "Are you feeling better?"

"Um……"

Tian Xiwei no longer kept her legs too close together, and her toes no longer turned slightly inward.

His breathing gradually calmed down.

She understood that Jiang Yang was helping her to calm down.

I also admire Jiang Yang. She has a good foundation among the dance students in Tongliang. As soon as she entered the examination area, she became so nervous that her breathing became disordered.

It seems to be Liu Haochun's classmate.

Liu Haochun's dance skills were far superior to his own, and he smiled nervously, though his lips were somewhat stiff.

Jiang Yang, however, remained calmly scrolling through his phone. Liu Haochun's earlier, behind-the-scenes insults directed at Jiang Yang were quite vulgar, yet undeniably accurate.

abnormal.

Jiang is a pervert.

When Jiang Yang's palm touched hers, her fingers trembled slightly, and she instinctively wanted to pull them back, but then stopped.

No words.

As the previous group of candidates left, the waiting area became noisy again.

The voices of the test takers exchanging ideas grew louder and louder.

"Which piece of music from the play did you draw? I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the rhythm right."

"Don't panic, you've practiced so diligently, you'll definitely be fine!"

"Remember to smile when you go in. The teacher said that facial expression management is very important."

Some test takers hummed the rhythm of the music softly.

Some people even recited their lines in a low voice.

Tian Xiwei wasn't paying attention to what the people around her were talking about.

Even the short videos that kept playing on Jiang Yang's phone couldn't be remembered.

Pretending to look at her phone, she was actually stealing glances at his profile.

My heart was pounding, but I pretended to be nonchalant.

Her fingers slowly relaxed, changing from a clenched fist to a gentle clench, with a hint of hesitation.

He lowered his head slightly.

The tense body began to relax.

Suddenly I realized that this was not Tongliang Middle School, but Beijing Dance Academy.

No teachers crack down on early romantic relationships.

What am I afraid of?

The moment the thought popped into my head, my heart started racing.

She leaned her head slightly towards Jiang Yang's shoulder, not daring to lean on him completely.

There was a pause of a few seconds.

The forehead gently touches the shoulder, while the body remains a little distance apart.

Legs are no longer tense, toes are relaxed.

Instead of fiddling with the exam admission ticket, he gently placed it on his knees.

My body was still a little stiff, not used to such close contact.

Seeing that Jiang Yang didn't object and was still scrolling through short videos, Tian Xi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, her eyes softening.

She seemed lost in thought, a shallow dimple appearing at the corner of her lips.

Shy yet at ease.

I'm not nervous anymore.

I feel very at ease.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside; it was the sound of the previous batch of examinees leaving.

Not a moment later.

A female staff member, dressed in a dark suit skirt and a simple light-colored top, entered carrying a folder. She walked in with a serious expression and glanced at the candidates.

Tian Xiwei grasped Jiang Yang's hand, then withdrew it with lightning speed.

He no longer rested his head on Jiang Yang's shoulder.

He immediately sat up straight.

He heard the other person say in a low voice:

"Please refrain from making loud noises while waiting for your exam and please silence your mobile phone."

"Next is the list of candidates. Please prepare your admission ticket and ID card and line up according to your number to enter the examination room."

The noisy examination room suddenly fell silent.

Tian Xi sat up straight.

Liu Haochun stretched out his long neck, watching intently as the female staff member called out names at any time.

First read out the exam number, then read out the name.

Confirm that the candidate is present.

The names of the first six people were all unfamiliar.

Until the seventh:
"Candidate No. 097, Liu Haochun."

"I'm here."

Liu Haochun raised his hand.

"Number 045, Tian Xiwei."

"To!"

Tian Xiwei stood up.

"Candidate No. 037, Zhao Xixi, are you there?"

"Here I am."

A gentle voice rang out from a corner near the back door.

"Zhao Xixi?" Liu Haochun murmured, then turned around and saw Zhao Xixi standing up to answer.

They were also his classmates.

They weren't in the same class, though; Zhao Xixi studied ballet.

He raised his hand to greet Zhao Xixi.

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Yang's gaze fell upon Zhao Xixi.

Zhao Xixi was taking off her cotton-padded coat with trembling fingers. The zipper got stuck several times before she finally took it off, revealing a tight-fitting ballet outfit underneath.

Continuously adjust the ballet skirt.

She has clear and bright single eyelids.

His eyes are bright and expressive.

The bridge of the nose is high and straight, with smooth lines.

Full lips and a long, slender neck.

Her skin is fair and smooth.

Her limbs are slender and long, and her arms have smooth lines.

At 1.72 meters tall, he stood out among the test takers.

Because I studied ballet from a young age, my back and neck lines are very smooth.

It was clear that Zhao Xixi was very nervous; when she greeted Liu Haochun, her wave was very small.

"Is she also your classmate, Hao Chun? She's quite tall," Tian Xi muttered.

"Yes, she's more than half a head taller than me. She was 1.7 meters tall during last year's physical exam, and it seems she's grown a bit taller since then," Liu Haochun replied.

Jiang Yang looked at the control panel in front of him.

[Potential nurturing partner discovered: Zhao Xixi. Should we bind?]

Then came another message.

[Insufficient character progression slots prevent completion of binding.]

The staff continued calling out names: "Candidate number 089, Jiang Yang."
