Chapter 285: Undiscriminating

Extreme anger and jealousy instantly consumed Su Ruowan’s body. She grabbed her chest and just felt like rushing onto the stage to rip that little b*tch Shen Xi’s face apart.

‘No way!’

‘How can Fu Qingxuan be here to see Shen Xi?’

‘He should be looking at me! Me!’

Guan Yue held a gentle gaze as she watched the performance, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fu Qingxuan.

Prior to the dance, this little teenage boy was drowsy and still had his shades on.

The moment Xixi appeared on stage, he looked so energized like he just had a caffeine shot. He even removed his sunglasses and had a changed expression.

Everyone was looking intently at the stage, so no one noticed.

On the second floor in a viewing room with the best view of the house that specially catered to privileged VIPs, a man sitting quietly in a wheelchair had his dedicated and affectionate gaze fixated on the fairy-like spirited figure on stage.

The source of inspiration for the “Flower Fairy” was Shen Xi’s “Corn Poppy” dance. The choreography was completely different, but its soul was similar.

Fu Qingxuan was completely amazed. His eyes were as bright as the stars as he focused on the entire stage and the dancer. It was as if his soul was attracted by the beautiful and ethereal woman on stage.

Absolutely stunning.

Spirited.

Alluring.

Passionate.

Splendid.

Fascinating.

The graceful dancer on the stage perfectly embodied these seemingly contradictory feelings and gave the audience an intense, soul-shattering, perfect visual feast.

Everyone was immersed in Shen Xi’s magical and captivating dance. Everyone but Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan only felt her blood boiling and screaming, as if it would gush out of her body. Hatred and jealousy turned her eyes red as she stared at the person on the stage.

‘That damned Shu Baiyu!’

The person who danced in her place was actually Shen Xi!

Su Ruowan was not convinced and resentful. Why did all the good things belong to Shen Xi?

‘God is truly blind! People like Shen Xi should be dead! She shouldn’t be kept alive to steal my things!’

‘All those who compete with me deserve to die!’

At this moment, time seemed to be passing very quickly for some while very slowly for others.

For those watching the dance, time flew by. This moment seemed to be over in an instant. Before they could finish reveling in the dance, the performance ended. All they wanted was to be forever immersed in the world the dance created so that they could enjoy this remarkable sight.

For Su Ruowan, every second that Shen Xi was on stage was pure torture and torment for her.

The music came to an abrupt stop.

The dancer stopped dead in her last pose.

It was a flawless performance. The ethereal and dreamy “Flower Fairy” came to an end.

Fu Qingxuan’s eyes were glimmering like shattered diamonds and stardust.

He watched as Shen Xi got up from her pose and thanked the audience. All he saw in his eyes and heart was her flower fairy spirit and her graceful body.

Meanie.

‘How can she dance so well?’

Besides medicine, Fu Qingxuan’s favorite thing was music. He was very familiar with all kinds of musical instruments and would consider it quite an achievement.

Those who knew art would be familiar with all forms of art. Fu Qingxuan had some understanding of dance. The previous dances were all beautiful, but they lacked soul and could not move the audience. They only allowed the audience to enjoy their beauty, but the performances did not captivate the audience’s heart and soul.

Dance and music went hand in hand, just like the human body and soul, neither could be missing. The music and dance in the previous performances did not fit well, so watching them made Fu Qingxuan drowsy.

Shen Xi’s dance, on the other hand, had a perfect harmony with the music and could captivate the audience’s soul. The audience was absorbed into her world like they were following her through a dreamy utopia. It was such a strong impact that when the dance ended, the audience was so deeply immersed in it that they could not extricate themselves.

Even though Guan Yue had been watching Shen Xi’s rehearsals, seeing Shen Xi perform on stage still moved her deeply. She touched her pounding heart that was about to jump out of her chest and wept.

The dancer was the soul and interpreter of the dance.

The audience’s reaction and affirmation were the biggest validation to the dancer and the performance.

As a member of the audience, Guan Yue could boldly say that this performance was successful and could even be recorded in the history of contemporary dance.

Su Yi returned to his senses. His eyes were watery as he looked at Li Jingran excitedly, “Look, our daughter is amazing, don’t you think?”

This excellent dancer was his daughter. Su Yi felt like standing up right now to tell everyone loud and proud that the girl on the stage was his daughter, Su Yi’s daughter.

“Mm.” Li Jingran had mixed emotions and did not deny it. She was secretly annoyed in her heart.

‘I was caught up in her dance again.’

Li Jingran had to admit that this brat Shen Xi had achieved the pinnacle in her accomplishment and talent in dancing.

If Shu Baiyu were on stage, she might not even be able to dance with such an effect on the audience.

This brat was her daughter, her rebellious, disobedient daughter that broke her heart. She hated Shen Xi.

Su Ruowan overheard their conversation. The emotion under the eyes changed repeatedly and her hand at her side clenched into fists. Her heart just felt like it was being bitten by insects, slowly and torturously boring a thousand holes in it.

Su Muxuan spat and looked at Su Ruowan. His tone was sour as he said, “Pfft! What the hell was that? She even dared to embarrass herself over here? She’s simply a disgrace to China!”

Su Ruowan sniffled and persuaded him softly, “Big brother, don’t say that. Lil Sister’s dance was truly perfect.”

Su Muxuan snorted coldly with gloom at the bottom of his eyes. He would never admit it. “Wanwan, you’re just too modest. You can dance a million times better than her.”

Guan Yue swept a glance at them, with an obvious mockery in her eyes.

‘Shen Xi’s not a good dancer? Then who just stared at her unblinkingly?’

Su Yi changed places with Li Jingran and smiled as he asked Guan Yue, “Ms. Guan Yue, where is our Xixi going after the dance?”

Guan Yue shook her head, “Sorry, I don’t know.”

Su Yi was not mad and still smiled politely. “How can you not know? Aren’t you Shen Xi’s senior? Ms. Shu Baiyu officially accepted Xixi as her apprentice, right?”

Guan Yue’s answer was short and resolute. “No.”

Su Yi was a little disappointed. He sighed and said, “Our Xixi is young and clueless. You should persuade your teacher to not be mad at Xixi. I’ll treat you all to dinner after the show.”

Guan Yue said, “No need.”

Su Yi looked a bit embarrassed and secretly cursed how undiscriminating she was. However, he remained a calm facade. “Our Xixi has troubled you and your teacher during this time, so, as her father, I ought to thank you properly. I hope that you’ll do me a favor and accept my invitation.”
