SOAR training has ended. Now they face their challenge with mixed feelings. Excited, nervous, embarrassed, scared and all sorts of other feelings. Especially Zu Xin. A shy and quiet boy. He stares at his teammates and the stage behind the scenes one after another. He begins to regret choosing this path.
Zu Hang smiled when his eyes caught Zu Xin's nervous face. He slowly approached Zu Xin and held his hand tightly. Trying to calm his team leader's nervousness.
"Don't worry. If you fall, we'll all fall with you."
He said. Zu Xin glanced at Zu Hang's face. "Are you trying to calm me down or put more pressure on me?" Zu Xin asked himself. Zu Hang just smiled. Sometimes Zu Xin felt that Zu Hang's words were beyond human comprehension.
"What I mean is...if you fall or make a mistake. We'll cover it with acting. So the audience and the judges will see it as part of our performance."
Zu Hang gently patted Zu Xin's shoulder while smiling brightly. He looked at Zu Xin's stunned face while raising his eyebrows. He seemed really proud of his bold idea. Hearing the bold idea, Zu Xin laughed. The first laugh Zu Hang heard came from his team leader. It sounded like a goose but quite cute and pleasant to hear. Zu Hang also laughed. He felt happy when he could relieve Zu Xin's tension.
"Now, let's go. Our teammates are waiting for your encouraging words."
Zu Hang pulled Zu Xin with him. They gathered in a circle.
"Errr...forgive me. I don't know what to say....Errr....Just have fun everyone.."
Zu Xin said slowly. His face was already red up to his ears. The others tried to hold back their laughter. They couldn't believe how embarrassed their team leader was.
"Haaa...speak too slowly. Who would be excited to hear that?"
Yaya grumbled.
YuanYuan gently slapped Yaya's forehead.
"His teammate for sure. Can you stop complaining about everything? You'll get old quickly if you complain too much."
Comment YuanYuan. LinLin nodded.
"I'm not complaining. But I'm trying to encourage him to speak more clearly and enthusiastically."
LinLin gave Yaya a sharp glare.
"What part of your words encouraged him?"
LinLin said trying to find a fight.
"Enough of you two. Their performance is about to begin."
WenWen said firmly. If his two friends weren't stopped, they could bring down the entire hall with their fight.
Sometimes WenWen doesn't understand whether the two of them really hate each other or love each other. When he thinks about it, their behavior is really ridiculous.
On stage. The shy Zu Xin completely transformed into someone else. He danced like a professional. His body swayed gently like a gentle breeze that flowed through the hearts of the audience. There was absolutely no shyness left. He truly conquered the entire hall with his movements. Seeing how their team leader danced, the others also gave their best. Dancing like a professional. Showing off their slim waists and they moved smoothly to the tempo. Their movements were absolutely flawless.
WenWen and the others watched them in shock. Not believing their juniors could do better than themselves. They looked at each other, and began to feel insecure.
"Congratulations on your team's victory."
JiaJia said after the tournament ended. He shook hands with Zu Xin as his eyes stared at his teammates who were sitting quietly on the bench. Their smiles looked awkward. "It seems their spirits were dampened by their junior team's big win." JiaJia whispered in her heart.
"Good job guys. Keep up the good work and continue to shine in the future."
JiaJia said encouraging Zu Xin's team. Zu Xin and his entire team smiled proudly. It was unbelievable that on that day, they not only won the competition but they also got to shake hands with the seniors they admired the most. The seniors with the warm smiles who brought Flexx to the world stage.
JiaJia walked over to greet his teammates who seemed to have lost all their enthusiasm. JiaJia smiled and shook his head. "It seems they forgot who Flexx is and who SOAR is. I had to remind them that Flexx exists not to compete, but to perform on their own stage."
"It seems we meet again."
JiaJia turned around. Staring at the annoying face in front of his eyes. "You really are shameless Shen Yi." JiaJia smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, we meet again."
JiaJia replied indifferently. They shook hands but their expressions looked like they were making a declaration of war.
"Your team won. Congratulations."
Shen Yi said. JiaJia just smiled sarcastically. In fact, he no longer had the heart to treat Shen Yi well and politely. All that was left was the urge to crush and throw Shen Yi far into space.
"Yes, thank you. And I feel sorry, your team lost this year. But, I also want to make a small correction here. The winner was my junior team, not mine. Because my team doesn't enter this kind of tournament. Err....But before that..may I know who you are?"
JiaJia said with pomp. A sarcastic smile tugged at the tip of his thin lips.
JiaJia's style and words really shook Shen Yi's ego. In reality, there was no connection between him and JiaJia before. Only between senior and junior. Nothing more than that. JiaJia only followed XinXin and Shen Yi never cared about JiaJia's presence. To him, JiaJia's nature was too excessive in punishing him.
"I know you know me. And I think you're being immature when you talk to me."
Shen Yi didn't want to lose a word with JiaJia. He also spoke arrogantly.
JiaJia just kept quiet. Afraid that if he continued to argue with Shen Yi, there would be no end to it and worse, his true nature would be exposed. That was what scared JiaJia the most.
"Where is XinXin?"
Shen Yi asked after feeling that he had won his fight with JiaJia. But JiaJia's smile became more and more cynical at the end of his lips. Even his eyes smiled cynically.
"Not in my pocket. And... I'm not an inquiry counter. If you want to know about XinXin... please ask God. Sorry. I can't help you. So, good luck."
JiaJia said his killer punchline. Smiled and walked away.
"Urghhhh... what a pain. Out of all the people in this world, why do I have to meet him?"
JiaJia muttered as he took out a tissue from his pocket. He roughly wiped his hands and threw the tissue into the trash can with a disgusted look on his face.
Shen Yi could only see how arrogant JiaJia was without a word. He was more arrogant than XinXin who liked to be outspoken. The quiet and shy JiaJia was long gone. Don't forget, some bad people were born from good people who were betrayed.
