Chapter 443: – Almost Completed
Speaking of which, Lin Jin didn't actually like dancing that much, she preferred singing. After all, dancing was tiring, whereas singing was much more relaxed and didn't require a special venue.
However when dancing, she could confidently wear sexy, mature, cute, and all kinds of various clothes. And all the clothes had one thing in common, they were pretty!
Well, if it weren't for that reason, she wouldn't bother dancing at all.
Thursday. With an earnest expression, she changed into an outfit with a short skirt and long socks. In front of the mirror, she used her inexperienced makeup skills to apply some makeup to her face.
Her mom had once seriously taught her how to put on makeup, but she didn’t really learn much at that time. Everything just went in one ear and out the other. Fortunately, with her mom’s endless nagging, Lin Jin at least finally learned some makeup skills.
She at least knew how to cover up minor blemishes on her skin, how to apply simple eye make up, and stuff like that.
However, Lin Jin didn't have any blemishes on her face, so she just needed to do some eye makeup to make her eyes look even more beautiful.
After finishing putting on makeup, she heard a knock on the door. Turning around, she walked over and opened it. She saw Yufei, who was only as tall as her own thighs, cutely standing outside the door in a long white dress.
"Isn't it hot wearing a long dress?" Lin Jin noticed she was also wearing long white stockings and frowned. "It's a hot day, and you're still wearing stockings?"
"Yeah!" Yufei, standing at the door, spun around like a ballerina. She spun twice and smiled "Dressing like this and dancing ballet will look really pretty!"
"It really is very pretty." Lin Jin chuckled as she went back inside. She grabbed the bag on the sofa and held Yufei’s hand, planning to meet up with the others.
They were going to Wanda today, but even before heading out, Lin Jin was already feeling a bit nervous.
Although she had prepared well and dressed up beautifully, she was still nervous.
At the moment, she only knew a few dances. Including the Pomp and Circumstance dance, which was extremely suggestive, making her too embarrassed to dance it in front of an audience.
But there were still a few less embarrassing dances she should be able to do.
After meeting up with Teacher Lin and the others, the group of people took the bus to Wanda Plaza. When they arrived once again, they gathered at the same spot as on Monday to set up the speakers. Wu Min began clearing the space and Teacher Lin started inviting passersby to come and watch.
After preparing for ten minutes, Wu Min finally cleared a space of about five square meters. Lin Jin put on two earphones, and pursing her lips, she walked to the center of the open space, standing side by side with Teacher Lin.
The first song was chosen at random, but both Lin Jin and Teacher Lin could sing it, though their coordination wasn’t very good when singing. The two had never practiced singing together and their coordination relied solely on their tacit understanding. Still, they sang pretty well. While it wasn’t as good as listening to some famous celebrities or popular singers, it was still much better than those typical street performances.
Because of the two’s singing the first group of people gradually gathered around them.
"Hey, where do I put the money?" A middle aged man shouted to Wu Min, who was standing inside the circle.
"We don’t take money. We’re street artists." Wu Min boldly said. "We’re doing a free performance."
"Oh." The middle aged man touched his bald head, looking confused.
But anyway, Teacher Lin and Lin Jin's singing was quite good. Although they didn’t attract an endless sea of people, but if you stood up and looked, it could still be considered a dense crowd.
After the song ended, Yufei couldn't wait to run up. She snatched the microphone from Lin Jin's hand and excitedly shouted: "Now it’s time for this young lady’s dance!"
Yufei didn’t even care to see what the reaction of the crowd was like, she immediately signaled Lin Jin to step aside. Lin Jin cooperatively nodded and played the music, just The Nutcracker which Yufei had danced to the day before.
In just one day’s time, Yufei naturally couldn’t have made significant progress. But today, even when facing a larger crowd than yesterday, she didn’t feel nervous at all. Instead, she energetically skipped to the center of the clearing and waited for the music to start.
"Is everyone ready!" As Yufei heard the music's prelude begin, her expression changed. She hurriedly ran back to hand the microphone to Lin Jin, then, just like the day before, gracefully fluttered back to the center like a butterfly amidst the opening beats.
Although ballet didn’t have that big of an audience in China, the adorable Yufei still elicited cheers from the crowd. They didn’t necessarily think Yufei danced exceptionally well, they just wanted to join the fun. However, Yufei naturally believed they were cheering because of her dance, so she danced even more enthusiastically.
Teacher Lin sat on a small stool she had brought with her. She rested her chin in her hands as she watched her grand disciple with a smile on her face while continuously nodding.
"Your luck is really good. You could just casually find such a talented student."
"Isn’t that obvious! Just look at who I am, I have such a keen eye!" Lin Jin confidently said.
"So is that why you're even more nervous than Yufei?" Zhu Dong added.
"Ugh! Today, except for Pomp and Circumstance! I can dance them all, okay!" Lin Jin lightly huffed. "Ballet isn't embarrassing! Pomp and Circumstance is just too embarrassing, okay? And I'm also dancing a modified version. If it were the unmodified one, even Teacher Lin probably wouldn't dare to dance it."
"Who says, of course I dare." Teacher Lin glared at Lin Jin and confidently said, "But I don't know how~ Even though I choreographed the dance, I don’t actually know how to dance it."
Rolling her eyes, Lin Jin stopped watching Yufei's ballet and instead focused on calming herself down.
Singing was no longer a problem. By closing her eyes, putting on earphones, and listening to music, Lin Jin could hardly hear the outside noise and was able to wholeheartedly sing without thinking about anything else.
But that wasn’t possible when dancing. Although dancing with the earphones was possible, it would affect too many of the movements. So, Lin Jin hoped she could dance perfectly without the earphones later.
Finally, Yufei's ballet ended. She cheerfully bowed to the audience, bouncing around as she accepted the applause from the crowd. Then she ran into Lin Jin's arms and teasingly said to her: "Sister! I've already finished dancing! It's your turn next!"
"Tch! Isn’t it just dancing?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes. Looking fully confident as she selected the music for Nobody.
This was a dance Lin Jin had previously practiced for her livestream viewers. After that, she hadn’t practiced it. However, over the past two nights, she had taken the time to review all the dances she knew, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Moreover, the choreography for this song wasn't shameful, and the song had been popular before. Performing this kind of popular music dance here should get quite a positive response.
She looked down and glanced at the task progress: 130 people.
Just over 300 more to go!
