Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Actually, all three members of the first generation have some dance background, but Yan Jie studies folk dance, the young lady studies jazz dance, and Xu Lin practices street dance. None of the three have ever been exposed to otaku dance. They were unsure of themselves, which is why they needed an instructor to teach them the key points of otaku dance.

Well, the dances the three of them learned don't teach how to be cute, but cuteness is the core of the Secretary's dance. Although the movements are indeed simple, if one is too elegant, one is too powerful, and the other looks like they're boxing, then they'll probably end up looking like a joke instead of cute.

Compared to Yuan Chu, who is entirely self-taught, Lin Mu and Youzi are actually better teachers. Youzi takes dance classes with Xu Lin; they're both in the same hobby group, just with different courses. She's been self-studying otaku dance for almost three years now. Lin Mu, on the other hand, has been practicing since childhood, thanks to his family background. He's even quite good at playing the violin.

Although this guy has had several disastrous performances before, including a bizarre incident where he played "Erquan Yingyue" on the violin, his public image is somewhat strange.

"Alright, stop fooling around, hurry up and finish recording so you can go home and have dinner."

Since she was his own sister, Xu Lin still spoke up to help Youzi out of the predicament and led the way into the company.

"Oh my, it's quite unusual to see the three of you here. Are you here to test the equipment?"

The boss was still sitting in that chair that was increasingly unable to support his weight, smoking. Seriously, doesn't this scene look too familiar? What the hell are you doing here all the time!

"Record a dance segment for publicity, and also create a short event."

Xu Lin shrugged and said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead and do it. I'll reimburse your lunch. Good luck!"

The boss winked at Xu Lin and said very generously.

"What?! When did you become so generous?!"

But Sister Yan was shocked. After being a VUP for so long, this was the first time she had ever heard her boss say that the company would reimburse her lunch!

Xu Lin, however, understood immediately. This was clearly not a work lunch, but rather the boss treating several people to a meal out of his own pocket. The reason... well, just think about why the boss mentioned the company would reimburse expenses last time.

But she didn't expose it. That's the unspoken understanding between men. Some things are little secrets; they can be hinted at, but not said outright.

"That's great! Let's go out for a nice lunch today."

"Oh! We're going to have a big meal!"

Yuzu didn't hold back in her profiling, deducing emotions like gratitude and joy from a glimpse of a lingering expression. Considering it was addressed to Xu Lin, she understood.

The boss's older brother has probably helped him out again with something mysterious. It can't be work-related. Thinking about the boss's personal life, it's probably either a successful weight loss or progress in his relationship. And look at the boss's size...

Yes, it's definitely true that things are progressing between you and Sister Feng!

......

Pulling the still clueless Sister Yan and Miss into the 3D live streaming room, the three of them temporarily changed into motion capture suits and simply stood in a row as Yuzi had instructed.

I came here simply because it's a big place, nothing more.

"Sis, all three of you have a dance background, so I won't go into the general dance techniques. Anyway, you're only learning this one dance for now. First, follow me and dance it slowly twice to memorize the moves, then go through it quickly once. After that, I'll help you correct the details. Is that okay?"

Yuzu is truly exceptional when it comes to teaching. She frequented many anime conventions, joined an anime club to easily meet girls, and taught them many dances. Even if her motives weren't pure at the time, she still gained a lot of experience.

This is the fastest way to learn simple home dances.

"Okay, you go first."

Sister Yan nodded, agreeing with this approach.

For her, who practices martial arts, memorizing routines is a piece of cake; she can remember them after watching them twice.

"1234 2234"

Yuzu didn't waste any words and immediately started dancing the mirror image dance in front of the three of them, clapping her hands one by one. Not only were her movements extremely standard, but even the expression on her face changed completely. Her innocent and naive smile would have fooled the three of them if they didn't know what kind of person she was.

"Sister Yi, you were using too much force when you danced... Speaking of which, isn't traditional dance supposed to be about gentleness? Did you dance like that when you were doing your traditional dance?"

After two takes, Yuzu's expression changed instantly; she couldn't hold back her urge to complain.

Li Huiyan's dancing is absolutely ridiculous. Her movements are technically correct, but the problem is, she's dancing, not practicing martial arts! I feel like if her muscles were tense, she could slap me so hard I'd fly away.

"And you, sis, don't bring your street dance habits into this. While otaku dance allows for a certain degree of freedom, the moves have to be cute, and the basic movements can't be too different; they should all be small, simple moves."

Street dancers often have a tendency to improvise, which isn't a big problem; they can easily correct it later. However, Xu Lin's problem isn't that she improvises while dancing, but that she keeps a straight face the whole time, trying to look like a cool girl, which doesn't match the cute, otaku-style dance of the Secretary Dance at all.

"Take your time with those little gestures and eye contact later. Sister-in-law, don't be too seductive. This isn't a flirtatious dance. Stop with your exaggerated mannerisms; it looks out of place."

After venting her frustrations about the three people, Xu You sighed, wondering if she could finish her teaching goals and enjoy a delicious meal within three hours.

Well, these three people have no problem with the movements and they all memorize them incredibly quickly, but their individual styles and habits are too obvious. Yuzu thinks that even if you randomly picked a dance student, you could tell at a glance what these three studied before.

"Alright, remember what I just said, go through the video at 0.5x speed, and I'll help you fix it slowly."

Seeing the three of them looking embarrassed, Yuzu shrugged helplessly and moved on to the next step of the lesson.

P.S.: Let's cleanse our ears today~

Video ID: BV1Bh411k7UN

Honestly, I listened to Dog Egg's "Left Finger Points to the Moon" before listening to his debut song. The contrast is just unbelievable.

Chapter 6, Section 382: That was an important place in their memories, now—

For Yuzu, teaching these three people to dance was indeed a very difficult task.

"Hey, Yi Yi, what are you doing? Is that a windmill? You need to be gentle when you wave your hand! Your muscles are so stiff you're practically a roly-poly toy!"

The first time, Yuzu went on a tirade of complaints.

"Sis, can you smile? Smile! Your expression is almost murderous... Never mind, I'll change your expression later."

The second time, seeing Xu Lin's stiff expression, as if he were fighting rather than dancing, Youzi was speechless and could only hope that the later episodes would salvage the situation.

She could understand it, after all, her older sister was still the older brother four months ago, and she was probably still too proud to act cute in such a short time—although it was she who suggested the secretary dance, and no matter how she thought about it, her current appearance was infuriating.

"Sister-in-law, is this a good take? Sister Yi and Sister Lao, you should learn from your sister-in-law."

Xu Youyue was the fastest learner among the three. Although she studied jazz, she usually practiced the cool and sexy dances of girl groups. Now it was just a matter of changing some small habits and improving her facial expressions, which was not a big problem for her.

As for Sister Yan and Xu Lin... Sister Yan and Youzi don't know, but how could she not know her own brother? This guy hasn't practiced dancing since his second year of high school, and he's long forgotten everything he learned back then.

"Alright, that's enough. Take a break first, then we'll go through it at the original speed in a bit. If you're ready, go change your clothes and get ready to record."

After watching it ten times at 0.5x speed, Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief and said easily.

"It's alright, this way we should still be able to make it to dinner time."

Xu Lin stopped what he was doing, took out his phone and glanced at it. It was 11:30. Then he took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket and handed it to the young lady.

"Hmm, it went pretty smoothly~"

Xu Youyue readily took the wet wipes, pulled out two, handed one to Xu Lin, and used the other to wipe her sweat.

"Hey, Sister Yi... Don't you have anything to say about my sister and sister-in-law showing off their love in front of you like this?"

Yuzu sidled up to Sister Yan and poked her with a grin.

"Me? What can I possibly say? These two have been like this ever since they met three months ago..."

Sister Yan rolled her eyes and pushed Youzi away in annoyance.

"Make way, it's hot."

Although she was somewhat surprised that Youzi was unusually well-behaved and didn't try to take advantage of her today, Li Huiyan didn't intend to say anything.

Having someone you like makes all the difference, huh? Even the little flirt has reformed.

She wasn't jealous at all, really!

It's just a couple! If she wanted to find one, she would have found one already!

"Sister-in-law~ I've worked so hard to teach you to dance, isn't it fair that you won't give me a wet wipe?"

Yuzu didn't care and turned around to run to Xu Youyue to act cute.

"Didn't you only dance twice and then stop moving? lol"

Xu Youyue chuckled and ran her index finger across Youzi's forehead. Sure enough, there wasn't a drop of sweat.

"I want one too~ It's too hot~"

"Alright, alright, take one to Yan Yan too."

There were two small stools on each side of the 3D live streaming room. Xu Lin and the young lady were on one side, and Youzi and Sister Yan were on the other. So the young lady hadn't gone to give Sister Yan a stool earlier, but Youzi just happened to come over.

"Okay~ I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Yuzu gave a cheerful salute, then ran back to Sister Yan, holding up a wet wipe and speaking in a very obsequious manner.

"Sister Yi, let me wipe your sweat~"

"Go away, ww"

Sister Yan chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, then took a wet wipe and wiped herself clean.

The weather in Yehai City in October was still very hot. Although there was air conditioning indoors, it was okay if you didn't exercise. But once you started moving around, even someone like Sister Yan would sweat. She felt damp and sticky all over, and it was uncomfortable if she didn't wipe herself off.

And then she'd have to change into a motion capture suit, which is one per person, and she didn't want her clothes to smell of sweat.

"Let's continue after we've rested!"

Yuzu smiled with her hands behind her back, watching Li Huiyan sit on the chair to rest, and called out again after a while.

"Row."

.......

The recording took longer than expected; by the time Xu Lin and the others came out of the company, it was already past 3 p.m.

The main reason it took so long was that everyone had a lot of fun wearing motion capture suits for the first time, and there were also quite a few mistakes during the recording.

In short, the parts that failed were taken to the post-production department to be edited into behind-the-scenes footage, so Xu Lin and the others could be considered to have completely completed their task for the day.

"What should we eat today? If the boss reimburses us, we can't go to our usual barbecue restaurant, right?"

Sister Yan gets hungry quickly, and as soon as she went out, she was already agonizing over what to eat.

"Hmm...that is a problem. You've worked hard today, so why don't you choose?"

Xu Youyue pondered for a while, then decisively made an excuse to hand over the task to Youzi.

"Ah... what should we eat? How about we go for Western food?"

"Okay, I was just craving steak."
