Sigh, I even dressed up specially because I thought I was going to meet a big star today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo panted as he said, \"I've disappointed you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cindy shook her head, \"No.\" After a moment of silence, she added, \"You know, Zhou Xun used to dance too, in a troupe over in the Jiang-Zhe region; their level wasn't even as good as our troupe's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo nodded and took a sip of mineral water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Cindy stood up and said, \"Come on, let's continue. The more tired you are, the easier it is to form muscle memory. For every extra drop of sweat you shed, you gain another brain cell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Chen Nuo felt like his head couldn't hold any more cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning at 10 o'clock, when Chen Nuo dragged his aching muscles to this classroom once again, he saw a girl in her twenties inside, stretching her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was wearing a tight black dance outfit, with white silk stockings on her legs; she had a great figure, her legs were long and straight, her hips firm and rounded, and as she opened her right arm and pressed her body to the side, she looked just like an elegant swan preening its feathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the only one in the dance studio, and Cindy hadn't arrived yet, so Chen Nuo prepared to stretch his legs as well to warm up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to be so punctual today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice rang out, and Chen Nuo looked at the girl in surprise, \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl's skin was as white as snow, revealing the delicacy and gentleness of the Jiangnan water towns; she had the typical appearance of a southern girl. Her brows and eyes were like a painting, though they carried a faint trace of weariness, and her bright eyes watched Chen Nuo from the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing his surprised expression, the girl's lips curled up, teasing a smile, \"What, didn't recognize me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cindy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh-huh.\" The girl switched legs to stretch, \"Don't call me Cindy today, my name is Xia Yehe, you can call me Teacher Xiao He.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo looked the girl in front of him up and down: \"Teacher Xiao He, you seem quite different from yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, I thought I was meeting a star yesterday, so I dressed up a bit. Turns out, it was all a waste,\" Xia Yehe complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You call that dressing up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise?\" Xia Yehe shot him a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo felt that without her makeup, she was like a completely different person; not only had her appearance changed, but her way of speaking had also changed, with a difference of ten years between the two. \"Teacher Xiao He, you shouldn't be much older than me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're asking a woman's age? Anyway, I'm older than you! Hurry up and change, there's a lot to learn today, and you can't leave class until you've finished learning it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, Chen Nuo practiced very seriously, and Xia Yehe taught with great focus. During the dance practice, other people would come in from time to time. However, everyone danced their own routines, so they didn't interfere with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quickly reached noon, and Xia Yehe said, \"Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch at our troupe's cafeteria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, although the cafeteria wasn't big, the food tasted pretty good, even more suited to Chen Nuo's stomach than the cafeteria at the Beijing Film Academy. After finishing the meal, Xia Yehe hesitated for a moment and said, \"I'm going back to the dormitory to take a nap, what are you going to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, you go ahead. I'll just find a place to rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, see you in the classroom at two in the afternoon. Be on time, don't be late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OK, don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe left, and Chen Nuo returned to the dance studio, found a corner, faced the wall, lay on his side on the floor, and fell asleep before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, he felt someone touching his back; Chen Nuo woke up instantly, turned over, and saw a pair of legs in tight dance pants standing right in front of him, less than two centimeters from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up along those straight, long legs, he saw a pair of distinct black-and-white eyes looking at him in surprise on a pretty, charming face. Who else could it be but Xia Yehe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo rubbed his eyes, sat up, and said, \"What time is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"2 o'clock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had changed into a dance outfit and had also showered, looking fresh and clean, and she asked in an incredibly incredulous tone, \"You slept here at noon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, what's wrong with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You're an actor, how can you sleep on the floor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo smiled and said, \"I'm not some big star, why can't I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe stared at him for a while before saying, \"Well, you don't mind that it's hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't sure if it was Chen Nuo's imagination, but there were more people coming to this classroom to practice dance in the afternoon than in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were stretching, some were jumping; it didn't seem like they were practicing anything specific, just doing some basic training, coming and going, making it quite lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until after 3:30 PM that the number of people dwindled, and by around five o'clock, only Chen Nuo and Xia Yehe were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo practiced his dancing with great focus. He felt he had improved a little more today than yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's stop here for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe guided Chen Nuo through the final movement and nodded, \"Your learning progress is quite fast, I don't think it will take three weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all thanks to Teacher Xiao He's good teaching.\" Chen Nuo wiped his sweat, walked to the back of the classroom, and gulped down a bottle of mineral water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe walked over, and for some reason, the expression on her face was a bit strange, half-smiling, \"Let's go, I have something to do at the base today, I can give you a ride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two changed their clothes, and Chen Nuo followed Xia Yehe into the car. At a traffic light on the road, Xia Yehe turned her head to look at Chen Nuo: \"Do you think there were a lot of people coming to our classroom to practice dance today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was thinking about his role and didn't hear her, \"Ah, what did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are a few girls in our troupe today who wanted me to introduce you to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Xia Yehe asked in surprise, \"They are all very pretty girls, and they are all very serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serious my foot; they're all very serious before they get into bed. Once they've slept together, all sorts of pestering or mutual destruction could happen. Do you think I don't know the nature of women?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo shook his head firmly and said, \"Really, no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light turned green, the QQ car started moving again, and Xia Yehe said with some irritation while driving: \"I shouldn't have agreed to it early on, sigh, I thought you would definitely be willing. So how am I supposed to tell them? If I just say you don't want to, they'll definitely think I'm the one sabotaging things behind the scenes and will hate me to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it that serious? Just for this little thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand, especially in a troupe like ours that is dominated by women, interpersonal relationships are very complicated.\" Xia Yehe sighed with some distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey... you wouldn't happen to not like women, would you?\" Xia Yehe asked suddenly, not knowing what she had thought of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1421,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4bfda25e5b03e850d65bdbcb44a989e44250e196c4d1c7e6b05a716ea2db4773","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-28","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-26",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
