Em, dancing then? suggested the Art Committee girl after some thoughts.
Dancing was a relative safe bet and not easy to screw up.
Having said that, the Art Committee girl looked over at Gu Xi and asked, What are your thoughts, Gu Xi?
Ive ever tried that before. Gu Xi replied honestly.
Its fine. Its fine. Gotta give everything a try, right? said Dong Mingming next to her.
The Art Committee girl nodded as well and said, Dancing is not difficult. The audiences will be mostly focusing on the effects and completeness of the stage. It just needs to be pretty. Nobody will pick on your skill level. Ill help you come up with a simple choreography that you can practice
What day is today?
Thursday.
You still have a weeks time. That ought to be more than enough, said the Art Committee girl. Seeing the hesitation on Gu Xi, she said, Dont worry. Its not that difficult. Besides, you will be dancing solo. Nobody will spot any errors even if there is any. It will be fine as you as you dont fall off from the stage.
That sort of made sense
As such, Gu Xi nodded.

During the afternoon break, the Art Committee girl took Gu Xi and the others with her to the dance studio.
The Art Committee girl pulled out a video. Take a look at this, Gu Xi. I found this online. Super easy, right?
Gu Xi, Easy.. ?
I have further simplified some of the moves and analyzed the moves. You just follow what I do and you will pick it up in no time!
The Art Committee girl confidently started Gu Xis lesson.
Twenty minutes later
Not only was the Art Committee girl, even the others around them felt desperate.
They noticed that Gu Xis body had no coordination at all!
Gu Xi took every move very seriously and she seemed to have nailed every move but, for some reasons, they just looked off.
Dong Mingming, next to her, had already laughed so much that her stomach was hurting. Hahaha. No way, Gu Xiao Xi, you cant do this dance.
Really. It doesnt work for you, said Dong Mingming seriously as she patted Gu Xi on her shoulder.
Nevertheless, she felt that that was fine. Gu Xi was already a maniac. Having a weakness actually made her seem more like a real person.
The Art Committee girl, too, stopped and looked at Gu Xi, troubled. Should we come up with something else?
How about singing?
Maybe piano or some other kind of instrument? That could be a talent as well.
Can you play the piano, Gu Xi?
A little, said Gu Xi.
Gu Xi had attended the same grade school and junior high school as Lin Anxin and there was piano class at private schools.
Gu Xi did not have private tutor or moved up in rank but she could perform something basic.
Okay. The Art Committee girl nodded and said, Piano it is.
Even though having a piano performance as the closing act was very blah and not showy but at least they could fill the spot.
Dong Mingming nodded as well. I think that will work as well.
Having said that, Dong Mingming was a little worried. She worried that if Gu Xis performance wasnt impressive enough, Gu XueEr would use that as a reason to smear Gu Xi afterward.
Wouldnt it be kind of dry to only have the piano performance? Maybe we should be her backup dancers? It was better than nothing at all.
Dong Mingmings suggestion was shot down by the Art Committee girl the very next second. You can chuck that idea. There was a bizarre rule that this performance must be a solo performance.
Having said that, the Art Committee girl received a message on her phone from her teacher having her submit Gu Xis program to her.
The Art Committee girl showed the text to the others and said with a smile, It looks like the voting was over and the scoring from the teachers is also more or less done.
One way or another, its nice that Gu Xi is the winner.
The group talked among themselves and finally decided on submitted the piano performance to their teacher.
