Chapter 188

PS. Thanks to book friends "Lamp God" and "Senior Sister Armani" for the book coins, thank you!

"Teacher, did you call me out alone to scold me?" Luo Luo Chu Yi lowered her head pitifully, while carefully peeking at Miss Luo Quan with her big eyes.

Seeing her like this, Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but laugh: "Why would I scold you?"

"Because I danced very poorly just now. Don't you think I danced very poorly?"

"It was indeed very poor." Miss Luo Quan's acknowledgment made Luo Luo Chu Yi lower her head even further.

"However, at least your courage is commendable, and I said that the first person to come up would be rewarded."

"Really!" Luo Luo Chu Yi suddenly raised her head, her mouth grinning happily.

"The reward is to help you master that part of the dance in the chorus. You can also understand it as getting some extra coaching."

Luo Luo Chu Yi was a bit worried: "Ah? Wouldn't extra coaching be unfair to the others?"

Miss Luo Quan spread her hands innocently: "I just gave everyone a fair chance to compete, but you were the only one who seized it."

"That's great, then I won't have any guilt." Luo Luo Chu Yi muttered in a low voice, but then turned and asked: "But I remember you are a singing and songwriting mentor. Can you dance this dance?"

Miss Luo Quan raised the corners of her mouth: "If you're talking about dancing the whole dance, I really can't do it, nor can I teach you. However, that crab walk you failed to perform was something I suggested adding for Wen Xia. If I only teach you this, then there's no problem at all."

"Teacher, you are so amazing, you can do everything." Luo Luo Chu Yi said with a flattering face.

"Stop the flattery, follow and learn." Miss Luo Quan said, putting her hands on her hips, and began to "run rampant" in the dance studio.

Luo Luo Chu Yi stared with her eyes wide open, carefully watching Miss Luo Quan's lower body, while analyzing the essentials of her every move.

Miss Luo Quan demonstrated a few times, and Luo Luo Chu Yi began to follow along.

This move is actually not difficult. With Miss Luo Quan teaching on the spot, it's natural to understand the gist after watching a few times, and after dancing it a few more times herself, she could learn it quite well.

The entire teaching process lasted less than half an hour. After practicing over and over again, Luo Luo Chu Yi finally showed Miss Luo Quan her training results and danced "Gee" again.

Although it couldn't be said to be very good, at least there were no problems with her singing or dancing. As her basic skills get better and better, these problems will gradually improve.

Compared to when she first stepped onto the stage, Luo Luo Chu Yi has improved too much now.

"Very good." Miss Luo Quan looked at Luo Luo Chu Yi, who was a bit out of breath, and did not spare her praise. "However, you have to practice your physical fitness well in the future. If you really become an idol, you'll have to sing and dance a dozen songs in a concert. It won't do if you're like this after just one song now."

Luo Luo Chu Yi put her hands on her hips and nodded vigorously: "I will work hard!"

At this time, Miss Luo Quan finally raised the doubt in her heart: "By the way, this move isn't considered difficult, so why couldn't you master it?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi's expression changed, she lowered her head and scratched her hair, her eyes dodging: "It's just that I'm too stupid and not as talented as others, so I mastered it relatively slowly."

"So that's how it is." Miss Luo Quan nodded. She saw Luo Luo Chu Yi's concealment, but since the cameraman was here, some things were still not easy to ask directly.

After thinking for a while, Miss Luo Quan turned to the cameraman and said: "Cameraman, Luo Chu Yi and I are going to the bathroom. You can rest here for a while."

The cameraman nodded and paused the filming.

Miss Luo Quan then pulled Luo Luo Chu Yi, who didn't have the slightest urge to pee, toward the bathroom.

After entering, Miss Luo Quan closed the door and locked it.

Luo Luo Chu Yi was shocked to see this scene, her voice trembling: "Luo... Mentor Miss Luo Quan, what are you doing?"

"The door is locked, of course I'm going to 'subtly rule' you." Miss Luo Quan raised her claws in a threatening gesture.

To be fair, if it were any other boy hearing Miss Luo Quan say such things in the bathroom, I'm afraid that apart from excitement, there would be no other emotion.

Luo Luo Chu Yi stepped back while saying: "Although Mentor Miss Luo Quan is very beautiful, I like boys. If it were Mentor Gao Liang, that would be fine."

"Why does every girl like Gao Liang?" Miss Luo Quan was a bit speechless and put her claws down. "Stop backing away, I'm just joking with you."

"Really?" Luo Luo Chu Yi stopped, but didn't come over immediately.

Miss Luo Quan couldn't laugh or cry: "I closed the door just because I didn't want anyone else to come in. I have something I want to ask you."

Speaking of this, Miss Luo Quan suddenly lowered her voice and leaned her mouth to Luo Luo Chu Yi's ear: "Have you been ostracized in the dormitory these past few days?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi's shoulders trembled, and she looked up at Miss Luo Quan: "No, everyone is quite friendly, and there are often cameramen in the dormitory, so how could they ostracize me?"

Miss Luo Quan was disdainful: "Stop it. Do you think you were the only one who heard what those girls behind you said just now?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi's big eyes widened: "You could hear that even though it was so quiet?!"

Miss Luo Quan smiled triumphantly: "Now you know how amazing I am, right? So in the future, never speak ill of me behind my back; I can hear it all... Don't change the subject! Are your roommates ostracizing you?"

"It's not that they all ostracize me." Luo Luo Chu Yi shook her head, her expression a bit low: "It's just a few people. I don't know where I offended them. They push me out when they watch videos, and make me help them when they practice dancing. Seeing that the progress is about to fall behind, I can only memorize those simple moves, but I can't remember the slightly more difficult ones."

Miss Luo Quan frowned: "Can't you refuse them?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi forced a smile: "We're all in the same dormitory, it's not good to fall out, and the cameraman is there, so it wouldn't look good if I did that."

"That's true." Miss Luo Quan realized she was being too presumptuous; Luo Luo Chu Yi wasn't her and didn't have the confidence to flip the table directly.

However, if she told Luo Luo Chu Yi about her status with the director's team, the situation might be different, but such things definitely couldn't be said now. Miss Luo Quan could only offer a hint in another way:

"It's okay, just endure it for a bit longer, it's only for these few days."

"Ah, what do you mean?" Luo Luo Chu Yi didn't understand.

"Tomorrow is the assessment. Some people will go up, and some will go down. You probably won't be staying in the same class anymore.

And as long as you work hard enough and perform well enough, after you get to Class A, the environment will be very different. These people probably won't even have the courage to look you in the eye next time they see you."

"I... I don't really understand." To be honest, Luo Luo Chu Yi had never thought that she would have a day where she would be promoted to Class A.

Miss Luo Quan explained patiently: "It's very simple. If your strength is strong enough, you don't need to care about the mockery and questioning from the outside world at all. Would an eagle soaring in the blue sky care about the thoughts of a quail?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi lowered her head: "Actually, being a quail is quite good."

Miss Luo Quan laughed in anger: "Why are you like a salted fish without dreams?"

Luo Luo Chu Yi said seriously: "If a person has no dreams, wouldn't they be carefree?"

"You! This, this..." Miss Luo Quan was speechless for a long time, finding that she really didn't know from which angle to refute.

Most human troubles actually stem from their own desires—desire for wealth, desire for the opposite sex, desire for fame. And dreams are just another, nicer-sounding term for desire.

And if a person has no desires and becomes free of wants, then they are indeed carefree.

After being silent for a while, Miss Luo Quan said: "But since you came here, it means you are not without dreams. Whether you are here for money or something else, at least you want to be an idol. Since you want to do it, you must do it well!"

"But can a person like me really become an idol like Teacher Wen Xia? Not to mention being like her, even becoming her teammate feels impossible." Luo Luo Chu Yi's tone was full of lack of confidence in herself.

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "It's too late to say these things now."

"Why?" Luo Luo Chu Yi was puzzled.

"I'm not afraid of making you proud by saying this, but after the first episode aired, the response was strong. Many students gained a lot of fans, and you are the one with the most fans besides those students in Class A.

So even if you want to quit, those fans who support you won't allow it. They will support you until the end, or force you until the end."

Luo Luo Chu Yi showed a smile upon hearing this, but soon frowned again: "But what if I really give up halfway? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until the end."

"Then I don't know. If it were in Japan, those fans might come to find you in person to discuss life with you." Miss Luo Quan smiled wickedly, her tone full of threats.

Luo Luo Chu Yi was indeed shocked upon hearing this and hurriedly said: "Then I must persist until the end and definitely not let down the fans' expectations!"

"Eh, that's more like it." Miss Luo Quan nodded, looking like she was teaching a teachable child.

"Then I'll go back to practicing dancing now. Tomorrow I will definitely perform to the best of my ability!" Luo Luo Chu Yi walked to the door, preparing to open the locked door.

"By the way, Teacher, why are you willing to help me and tell me these things?"

"Because you are very brave?"

"Ah?"

"I just said it, these are all rewards for the first student to come out. To get ahead, the most important thing is to be brave. Now that I'm helping you, maybe you can help me when you become famous in the future.

Besides, I personally like you quite a bit."

Luo Luo Chu Yi covered her mouth, her eyes surprised: "You don't really want to 'subtly rule' me, do you?"

"Hmm?!" Miss Luo Quan's eyebrows arched, and a sharp gaze swept over.

The latter was like a frightened rabbit, quickly opening the door and darting out. By the time Miss Luo Quan reached the door, Luo Luo Chu Yi had already disappeared.

Returning to the dance studio where she had just given Luo Luo Chu Yi extra coaching, the cameraman looked at Miss Luo Quan's back suspiciously: "Where is Luo Luo Chu Yi?"

"She went back to Class C to continue practicing dancing."

The cameraman turned on the camera and asked: "Where are we going next?"
