Chapter 60: Chapter 060: Lu Xiaoshuang’s Invitation
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Sheng Ning, what are you thinking about?” Zhang Hongmei tugged at her sleeve, “Are you worried about not passing the training camp?”
Zhang Hongmei was strong and in good physical condition, so she wasn’t worried about the training camp. Sheng Ning was different. She had always been delicate and weak, and she had fainted several times during training when she first arrived.
“No!” Sheng Ning shook her head with a smile, “I will work hard, and you should too.” In her previous life, she didn’t remember if Zhang Hongmei had joined ‘Hope Field,’ but she genuinely hoped she could in this life.
“I will. What you said just now was really good. By the way, everyone is saying your self-critique was well written!” Zhang Hongmei smiled foolishly.
Sheng Ning blushed embarrassingly at her compliment, “Let’s hurry to training! I still have to go to the cafeteria to help later.”
Sheng Ning used to hate the high-intensity training every day. In her previous life, she lacked patience, but not now.
After eating lunch in the cafeteria, she hurried back to the training room to practice basic skills with determination. The training room was crowded; most were practicing dance under someone’s guidance.
Qin Cuifen and Lu Xiaoshuang were practicing ‘Butterfly Lovers’ together. Although the last time they performed ‘Butterfly Lovers’ there was a mishap, the dance was still a success. So everyone was motivated, focusing all their energy on this dance except for the performances.
“Sheng Ning, do you want to join us and dance together?” Lu Xiaoshuang walked up to Sheng Ning, speaking in a condescending tone, “I see you look quite pitiful alone, come and join us!”
Sheng Ning was doing a handstand. Hearing Lu Xiaoshuang’s voice, she kept her position unchanged, closed her eyes, and pretended not to hear.
“Sheng Ning, didn’t you hear me talking to you?” Lu Xiaoshuang immediately got angry. She grew up in the city, with worker parents who spoiled her. The thing she couldn’t stand the most was when she talked to someone, and they ignored her.
“I heard.” Sheng Ning switched from a handstand to a split with a single-handed backflip.
Lu Xiaoshuang watched her movements, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She always looked down on Sheng Ning, not only disliking her personality but also her abilities.
But those smooth and precise movements? Even she couldn’t do them.
How could she do that?
Lu Xiaoshuang rubbed her eyes, thinking she must have been seeing things.
“Do you want to join us?”
“Why are you calling her, Captain?” someone said with a face of disdain.
“Shut up!” Lu Xiaoshuang glared fiercely at the person who spoke, then turned back, looking aggressively at Sheng Ning, “At least say something.”
Sheng Ning shook her head, “I don’t want to fall off the stage again, so I won’t join.”
“You… what do you mean?”
“What do I mean, you should know very well, right? Let’s not talk about what happened on stage then. But all the punishment in the end, I took it all alone.” A demerit might not seem like much now. But in the future, all the opportunities for promotion, further study, and rank advancement would no longer be available to her.
Unless she could make a significant contribution.
Everyone in the Song and Dance Troupe understood this, including Lu Xiaoshuang, their captain.
“You…” Lu Xiaoshuang’s face turned bright red, suddenly recalling the scene on stage. Qin Cuifen had indeed pushed her then, but only Sheng Ning was punished in the end.
