Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Hua Qing snapped out of her daze and took a deep breath: "Continue."

Fan Chenxi waved her hand: "I won't say anymore, it would be like showing off my limited skills before an expert. You dance so much better than me, it would be too embarrassing for me to give you pointers."

"No."

Hua Qing shook her head, her tone serious: "I think your approach is correct. We can discuss it with Teacher Qi."

Fan Chenxi chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed by Hua Qing's praise.

The two girls walked out of the theater one after the other, and a woman walked towards them.

Shen Tingwan's mother.

"Huaqing."

Shen's mother approached Hua Qing and said politely, "Hello, I am Shen Tingwan's mother."

Hua Qing was taken aback, then nodded politely.

"Hello, teacher."

"I watched you rehearse inside just now, and you danced really well."

Shen's mother looked Hua Qing up and down, and said sincerely, "Actually, I heard four years ago that you were very talented. Teacher Qi often praised you in front of us... Now that I see you, it is indeed true that you live up to your reputation."

"Thank you, teacher."

Hua Qing had absolutely no idea how to handle compliments from her seniors, so she could only respond politely.

Shen's mother smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, you're coming to Beijing Dance Academy next semester, have you chosen a tutor yet?"

Hua Qing blinked and answered truthfully, "Not yet."

"Teacher Qi is in charge of the tour, so she may not have much time to teach students."

Shen's mother spoke as if she were having a casual chat, but also as if she was genuinely worried about Hua Qing: "She has mentioned to me several times that you are at a crucial time right now and need a teacher who can calmly guide you."

Hua Qing didn't say anything.

Shen's mother took out her phone from her bag and opened the QR code.

"How about we add each other on WeChat? If you need any help, just let me know. You're such a promising student, your future is definitely limitless."

Hua Qing looked at the square QR code at the top of Shen's mother's phone screen, hesitating.

"Huaqing."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and Hua Qing turned her head.

Ding Heng stepped forward and grabbed Hua Qing, giving her no time to react.

"go!"

Hua Qing stumbled as Ding Heng pulled her, and instinctively looked at Shen's mother, giving her an apologetic look.

Shen's mother showed some annoyance, but quickly recovered and turned to ask Fan Chenxi.

Who is that?

"Hua Qing's boyfriend, that teacher... I have to go now too."

Fan Chenxi felt the pressure and quickly tried to slip away.

Once in the car, Hua Qing asked worriedly, "Ding Heng, weren't you being a bit rude just now?"

"What else can we do?"

Ding Heng fastened his seatbelt: "Wait until she adds you on WeChat, then subtly pressure you to withdraw from the competition, and paint you a bunch of empty promises?"

Hua Qing frowned: "Maybe they didn't mean it that way? After all, they're a respected senior in the dance world..."

"Someone with a certain status?"

Ding Heng chuckled and reached out to pinch Hua Qing's cheek, pinching it harder than usual.

"Ouch... Ouch!"

Hua Qing winced in pain and turned her head to try to avoid it.

Ding Heng, however, persisted, his tone serious.

"Senior! How come you're not as good as Wenjing at this kind of thing? Do you really think everyone is like you, a complete dance fanatic?"

He released Hua Qing, picked up his phone, swiped a few times, and handed the screen to Hua Qing.

Hua Qing looked down.

Shen Tingwan's Super Topic.

Number of followers: 220,000.

Number of posts – over 300,000.

The pinned video is a fan-made montage video titled "[Shen Tingwan's National Tour Highlights Compilation]".

The number of views has exceeded one million.

Fans are already discussing how Shen Tingwan will become the lead dancer in "Looking at the Sea," embark on a huge national tour, and eventually enter a variety show.

Hua Qing asked incredulously, "Shen Tingwan already has a super topic?"

"What do you think? Shen Tingwan and you are not on the same wavelength at all!"

Ding Heng put away his phone and said calmly, "For someone who can participate in a national tour after graduating from university at the age of 22, this 'Looking at the Sea' is just a stepping stone for her!"

She became a nationally famous lead dancer, then entered the entertainment industry to make a fortune. Now you're standing in her way to wealth. What do you think her parents will do?

Hua Qing pursed her lips.

"Then... what should we do?"

The ethereal fairy, who had never experienced worldly concerns, finally began to feel a sense of crisis and asked uneasily, "Just like what Chenxi said earlier... the arm can't twist the thigh?"

Ding Heng held Hua Qing's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb.

"Senior, do you believe me?"

Hua Qing raised her head and met Ding Heng's gaze.

The man's eyes were calm, as if he was certain that he could control everything.

Suddenly, Hua Qing felt that Ding Heng was unfathomable.

She remembered Liu Jianming's matter...

He felt wronged at the time, but before dawn the next day, Liu Jianming was already in jail.

After figuring things out, Hua Qing was no longer worried about being treated unfairly. Instead, she began to worry about the situation getting out of control and going too far.

"Ding Heng, let's not go too far, okay?"

Hua Qing hesitated for a long time before finally pleading, "I just need a fair chance to compete, if..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ding Heng scoffed.

In Ding Heng's view, human consciousness is subjective, and there is no such thing as absolute fairness in scoring.

"Row."

Ding Heng squeezed Hua Qing's hand tightly: "I promise you, senior!"

Chapter 194: 100% Love Threads (Part 1)

Ten days of June have passed quietly.

Ding Heng made the most of his time by traveling back and forth between the capital and Xingcheng.

June 20th, one week before the lead dancer for "Looking at the Sea" was officially confirmed.

As the morning light streamed into the room, Hua Qing nestled in Ding Heng's arms, her breathing even.

Black Bean curled up at the foot of the bed, its tail occasionally twitching.

Ding Heng opened his eyes and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table—7:42.

At this time normally, Hua Qing would have already gotten up, washed, and prepared for training.

He looked down at the person in his arms.

Hua Qing's nightgown strap slipped down a bit, revealing her pink, rounded shoulders.

Ding Heng didn't move, and lay quietly for a while.

About ten minutes later, Hua Qing slowly opened her eyes, focused her gaze for a few seconds, and then realized that she was pressed against Ding Heng's chest.

"morning……"

She rubbed her face against his chest, showing no intention of getting up.

Ding Heng asked curiously, "Isn't Senior Sister going to training today?"

"Ah."

Hua Qing gave a vague reply: "Teacher Qi has a meeting this morning, so he gave us half a day off."

"What meeting?"

"It seems to be... a meeting about the follow-up arrangements for 'Looking at the Sea'. Investors, producers, school leaders, and some other related people that I'm not very familiar with will be attending."

She recalled Qi Yanran's notification yesterday: "It mainly discussed the final selection criteria for next week, as well as some project progress matters."

Ding Heng continued, "Are you worried, senior?"

Hua Qing looked up from Ding Heng's chest, her cool eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and dependence.

"Isn't it you I have?"

"Yeah……"

Ding Heng chuckled, and Hua Qing's phone suddenly rang.

She reached out from Ding Heng's arms and touched the phone on the bedside table.

The screen displays a message from Fan Chenxi.

[Fan Chenxi]: Hua Qing, not good.
