Chapter 442: – Aiya, I was mocked
When Yufei's dance entered its final stage, the rhythm of "The Nutcracker" changed, and her expression suddenly became serious. Her dance began to spin with the rhythm, stopping, and then spinning again… This was the part Lin Jin had removed for her, but Yufei actually performed the original version of the dance.
Yufei's spinning wasn't very stable, especially when she spun in rapid succession. Her head couldn't handle the dizziness. When Lin Jin first taught her, she hadn't realized this until one time Yufei got so dizzy she fell right down on the floor. Only then did Lin Jin decide to modify the dance.
Originally, it was one spin per musical phrase, but Lin Jin changed it to one spin every two phrases. While this made it simpler, it lost a lot of its elegance.
At this moment, Yufei's dancing was still a bit messy, but she kept going. Each spin was still graceful, every tiptoe step still light, but her movements were gradually getting out of control. She was supposed to move from left to right, but because of her dizzy head, she started pacing back and forth on the spot.
Her sense of direction was probably messed up by the dizziness.
However, since ballet wasn’t that popular, most of the audience didn't notice anything off. They just felt that while they didn't really get Yufei's dance, it was still beautiful and elegant. Even though it was a bit too exotic, when Yufei steadied herself and gave them a deep bow with the last beat of music, there was still a thunderous applause.
Some troublesome person already started shouting at Yufei: "Little sister, marry me!"
"Little sister, give me some monkeys!" Another troublemaker also shouted, sparking a wave of laughter amidst the clapping.
Although Yufei didn't understand what give me some monkeys meant, she still understood that her first performance was a very, very, big success!
"Thank you, everyone!" She bowed again, smiling as she accepted the crowd's goodwill.
Teacher Lin looked at this grand disciple of hers with satisfaction, and then rolled her eyes at Lin Jin in disappointment: "Look at her, then look at you! Even just a dance gets you all scared!"
"Exactly, exactly." Wu Min, who had been quiet for quite a while, nodded vigorously in agreement.
At the same time, cameraman Zhu Dong who had been quiet for quite a while as well also joined in the fun and nodded: “Exactly. Lin Jin, you should learn from your disciple.”
"Learn my ass! She's naturally gifted, I’m not!" Lin Jin retorted confidently. "She’s very talented! She’s just born to dance on stage! I’m born to be a salted fish, how can we be the same?!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're a lazy salted fish." Wu Min helplessly shrugged. "But do you have to be more cowardly than your student? She wasn't even nervous at all during her first performance."
Lin Jin thought that Yufei was definitely someone born to be on a stage and was a natural performer. Otherwise, when it was a normal person’s first time performing a dance in front of a big crowd, it was natural to be as nervous as Lin Jin was!
Seeing Yufei hop over, looking up with a beaming look and waiting for Lin Jin to praise her, she was clearly very pleased with her first performance. Even though she was a little too nervous at the beginning, she still felt she did great.
She did much better than when Lin Jin performed Hitorinbo Envy, yeah!
"Great job!" Lin Jin ruffled Yufei's hair and said with a smile "Yufei is going to be a big star in the future!"
"Yeah, yeah! I'm gonna be a big star!" Yufei opened her arms wide and made an exaggerated gesture "Yufei will become a big superstar!"
"Mhm mhm. Then besides dancing you also need to learn singing too." Lin Jin smiled.
"Yeah! I want to learn singing from Teacher Lin Jin!"
After coaxing Yufei, Lin Jin checked the live stream chat on her phone and found that in an instant, the direction of the stream chat had shifted from “Wife Lin Jin” to “Little sister, give me monkeys!"
"Anyone who continues saying have my babies will be muted for two days." Lin Jin rolled her eyes and told the viewers. "Did you know? It starts at three years in prison, up to the death penalty, okay? Muting you guys is for your own good. What if there’s police watching the stream?"
Without waiting to see how the chat would react to her words, Lin Jin stuffed her phone back into her pocket.
It was already three in the afternoon, about time to leave.
Lin Jin looked towards Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin was also clearly aware of Lin Jin’s thoughts. She nodded and then walked to the center of the clearing with the microphone to announce the end of today’s performance.
After today, they probably needed to go to Wanda.
It was already Wednesday, but the task completion was still far away. The number of people at school was small, which greatly reduced Lin Jin’s chances of finishing the task.
“It seems we really did still need to go to Wanda. Just randomly doing stuff could gather a crowd of fifty to sixty people.” Lin Jin sighed. Two days of performances had exhausted her to death, yet the task wasn’t even twenty percent of the way done.
Of course, Lin Jin thought the ones who should be more tired were Teacher Lin and Zhu Dong. Teacher Lin not only had to sing but also act as the host while Zhu Dong had to always stand around managing the camera. If they were dancing, he would have to move around with the camera. Otherwise, Lin Jin and Yufei, who had no sense of the camera, might accidentally go out of frame.
As for Wu Min, this guy just needed to maintain order. Well, that was what he was originally for. However, since everyone was a college student, the order was very good. No one was chaotically rushing into the open space. They all behaved very well and naturally formed a space of about ten square meters for Lin Jin and the others to perform. As a result, Wu Min ended up being completely useless and just sat there dozing off.
Well, but when they go to Wanda tomorrow, he should come in handy.
"So, if we go to Wanda, you won’t be nervous?" Wu Min carried the speaker in his hands and followed behind Teacher Lin towards her office.
This speaker was something Teacher Lin brought from her own home, not the school’s.
Meanwhile, Zhu Dong had already gone back with the camera, preparing to send today’s footage to Lin Jin. If there was nothing unexpected, then today’s video would be quickly edited and uploaded to various sites by evening.
"Nervous, I'll definitely be nervous." Lin Jin walked beside Wu Min, her hand holding onto the excited Yufei. She looked down and glanced at Yufei, adding "But I can't be worse than Yufei, right? Yufei wasn’t even nervous."
"Yeah! Yufei was just a tiny tiny bit nervous! Tomorrow, I want to come again!" Yufei raised her hands high, extremely excited. "I think! I will definitely not be nervous next time! I'll definitely dance better than sister!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Motherf*cker, she was mocked by her own student.
