Chapter 440: – Pomp and Circumstance? No, I choose to sing
The choreography of Hitorinbo Envy wasn't very difficult, and it didn't have too many shameful moves. For Lin Jin, these weren’t a big deal, but the main thing was that she had to overcome the nervousness of dancing in front of a big crowd.
Even though her body had already started moving, her movements were really stiff because of her nervousness. The surrounding audience seemed to notice that Lin Jin was a bit too tense, so they didn't dare say much. They just somewhat solemnly watched her as initial stiff movements gradually relaxed.
Actually, dancing in public wasn’t that big of a deal. It was just that there were more people around.
She secretly gulped, and as she danced, her mind began to think about all sorts of random things.
If she weren't so nervous about dancing, maybe she could have completed the task on the first day, right? After all, there were so many people at Wanda.
If she'd been in her current state on the first day, there would definitely have been even more people watching her dance than now.
Actually, Lin Jin's current state was far worse than when she recorded her dance videos before. But luckily, Teacher Lin's choreography had incorporated some of Lin Jin's characteristics really well, and while it might not be as good as those other Hitorinbo Envy dance covers online, it was definitely the choreography version that suited Lin Jin the best.
This dance combined classical Chinese dance with Lin Jin’s recent self taught ballet and cute anime dance. In terms of the movements, it wasn’t like those other popular cute anime dance videos online that were so soft and gentle that it looked like they were just trying to act cute instead of dancing. After all, she used to be a man. Although her usual personality was a bit soft and girly, when she danced, it was still full of strength. Though still quite cute…
There weren’t many difficult movements in the Hitorinbo Envy dance, the hardest was the spin during the song’s climax. This had been mentioned before and had elements from ballet. It wasn’t too difficult for Lin Jin, the main thing was to keep her balance and not get too dizzy after spinning so that the subsequent movements aren’t messed up. The other parts of the dance were even simpler. Even those who had never learned dance could probably do it as long as they followed step by step.
Although it was simple, there was a unique charm when Lin Jin danced it. Additionally, Teacher Lin’s mature older sister voice when singing this song was full of temptation. She was totally using a seductive tone. To be honest, Lin Jin felt that with her current condition when dancing, Teacher Lin beside her would actually be more attention grabbing.
After one song’s time, Lin Jin's dance ended. Teacher Lin also stopped singing and gave a slight bow to the surrounding crowd.
Lin Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't danced very well because of nervousness, she had at least managed to dance, a breakthrough for her.
The onlooking crowd started to applaud. It was sparse at first, but after a bit later, the applause from dozens of people together drowned out the noise from other parts of the open square, filling Lin Jin's ears.
So she almost chickened out again. With mournful face, she bowed slightly liked Teacher Lin, and then hurriedly ran over to squat down beside Yufei, not daring to say or do anything more.
"Thank you, everyone! This was Lin Jin's first time dancing in front of people in public. Although she was a bit nervous and was not at her best, she still did pretty great! Do you agree!" Teacher Lin had quite the stage presence. Holding the microphone as if she was the host, she started to rally up the audience’s emotions.
"Yeah!"
"Trap Lin Jin is awesome!"
Lin Jin squatted down and covered her face. It always felt extremely embarrassing being cheered on by a group of people all shouting her name.
But Qiu Yufei didn't think so. She excitedly spun and danced around Lin Jin’s side, saying: "It turns out sister is so popular! Sister is amazing! Is sister a big star?"
"Sister! In the future, I want to be a big star too!"
"Yes, yes." Lin Jin helplessly smiled.
After the one dance, Lin Jin didn't feel the weakness and exhaustion she used to feel when her body was weak. Although she was panting and a bit tired, it was still within the acceptable amount, probably around the same as jogging a thousand meters.
After the dance ended, Lin Jin needed to rest for a bit, so Teacher Lin took a sip of honey water and continued singing. Lin Jin, on the other hand, squatted beside the camera to interact with the viewers watching the live stream.
The livestream chat was very lively. Although the number of viewers wasn't as high as when she usually streamed with Xia Tian, there were about double the amount of comments in chat. Many viewers were typing "Lin Jin #1!" "Teacher #1! and stuff like that."
"Today's dance was completely not as good as when I danced for you guys in my room." Lin Jin propped her chin up with one hand. Although she didn't appear on camera, her voice still got the livestream audience hyped up.
"Are any of you in Xiamen, near the Jimei area? If you're free tomorrow and the day after, you can come to Wanda Plaza around one in the afternoon to find me. We'll probably be performing at Wanda tomorrow, right?" Lin Jin looked at the barrage of comments and somewhat muttered to herself "Though there will be more people then, I might be even more nervous and dance worse, uh..."
"But Sister Lin Jin is the best!" Yufei immediately jumped out and shouted.
So the whole livestream started repeating Yufei's words.
"Lin Jin is the best!" repeated ? times.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lin Jin is the best!"
The screen was crazily filled with all kinds of gifts and stuff. More than half of the phone screen was covered, leaving Lin Jin dumbfounded.
So, even though she'd been livestreaming and such for quite a while, Lin Jin still had no idea what triggered the audience's excitement. Why did the gifts start pouring in just because of a single sentence from Yufei?
While chatting with the viewers, Lin Jin suddenly noticed a somewhat familiar figure appearing in the surrounding crowd. That person didn't stand out, but because he'd left a deep impression on Lin Jin yesterday, she spotted him with a single glance.
"Hi!" Han Bing also noticed Lin Jin's gaze and greeted her.
This person is a pervert, right?
The corners of Lin Jin's mouth twitched, she had no idea what this guy was thinking.
Even though his appearance was indeed quite good, he wasn’t comparable to those handsome men like Chen Hao. But he was quite scholarly looking, probably the type many young girls would like. It was just that she herself was completely not interested in him.
She only felt that this guy was really troublesome.
Teacher Lin finished another song. She felt a bit tired and came over to Lin Jin, pulled over a small stool to sit down, and shrugged at Lin Jin: "So? You continuing?"
"I haven’t sung like this in a long time, I’m a little not used to it.”Teacher Lin said with a smile "Why don't you sing a few songs too? Or dance a Pomp and Circumstance?"
Pomp and Circumstance?
Lin Jin's face instantly turned red. That dance was really too embarrassing.
"I choose to sing!"
