The clearance score was 90 points, which was higher than Yue Xingwen expected.

At the same time, the five teammates sitting in the classroom waiting for the results also saw the clearance information in front of them. Ke Shaobin stood up excitedly. “Great, the score is 90 points!”

Liu Zhaoqing said, “It seems that junior brother Qi’s professional level is quite impressive. The person introduced by Xu Feixue is not bad.”

Zhang Xiaonian had been mentally tense for fear that his senior brothers and sisters would accidentally fail the course. He was relieved when he saw the score and said, “Fortunately, there is an X-team member setting to help, or else it would be really difficult to encounter a course that none of our team understands.”

At this moment, Yue Xingwen and his group appeared in the classroom.

Liu Zhaoqing took the lead and stepped forward and said, “How is it? It went well, right?”

Yue Xingwen roughly described the examination process of the Conservatory of Music. r RmJw

The 5 people who did not take the exam listened to his retelling, and only felt that it was very dangerous, especially the initial Rhythm level. If they had missed more than 20 notes, they would be eliminated, which was very much a test of a person’s hand speed and psychological quality.

Ke Shaobin said, “Then shall we continue to take the course of the Dance class in the evening? Do you want to rest?”

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce, who shook his head and said, “I don’t feel tired, it’s only 4 pm, go back and take a nap, and we will have time to catch up with the ‘Masquerade Ball’ course at 8 pm.”

The other students also had no opinion, Lan Yarong said, “Taking the dance course tonight, and tomorrow, Wednesday, we can go to another Faculty, and if things go well, we’ll be able to pass 1~2 more faculties this week.” bBmQvI

Qi Luoran’s eyes widened and said, “Have you guys been working to pass the exam like this?”

Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Yes. We all want to get our credits early and leave the library, so we will continue to take courses from Monday to Friday, and only rest and adjust on weekends.”

Xu Yishen shrugged. “It can’t be helped, my mother’s concept of raising her son is to train her son to be an elegant gentleman who can play the piano and dance at dinner parties. She didn’t expect her son to grow crooked and like racing.”

Zhuo Feng said, “I also know waltz, back in the day, our Student Council organized a dance training. I remember that many people present participated, right? At that time, there were two fewer girls signed up for the event, so Xingwen had to find Pingce as a dance partner.” Sz05af

It was their freshman year when the Student Council organized a ‘dance training class’ and invited several senior brothers and sisters who knew how to dance to teach everyone free of charge in the dance classroom every weekend night to learn national standard dance.

Zhuo Feng’s idea was that after graduation, everyone would walk into the society and when they encountered the company’s annual meeting, the unit sorority, such as the need to dance, they would have some basic dance steps, which would not be embarrassing.

Moreover, at that time, freshmen had just entered the school, and there were many handsome guys and beauties who were single. Zhuo Feng opened this free dance training class in the name of the Student Council, in addition to allowing everyone to learn basic dance steps and enhance their ability to cope with social situations, the more important purpose was to help junior brothers and sisters find a date.

You think ah, shy junior brothers and sisters were usually embarrassed to hold hands, but when dancing, there were not many scruples. Between the dance partners holding hands and politely embracing their waist, it was normal, and after a long time, mutual affection would come naturally. As a senior, he not only worried about the study and life problems of his junior brothers and sisters, but also helped with emotional problems! vtjGkQ

He only provided this platform for junior brothers and sisters, and as for whether they could catch up with handsome guys and beauties, it depended on their ability.

Originally, the number of people in that dance training class was limited to 50 people, 25 boys and 25 girls, just enough to match everyone with a partner, but in the end, the number reported was 24 girls and 25 boys, with one extra boy.

A girl originally signed up, but due to the conflict between the dance class and the activity schedule of her other clubs, she did not come, so she temporarily canceled her registration, turning the dance class into 49 students, with one extra boy.

Zhuo Feng said in the group of the Student Council: “There are 49 people in the dance class, it’s not easy to match, and you can’t let a person without a partner sing a solo show there. Either one of our Student Council members has to come to help, or if not, search for another person?” CrnjX0

Yue Xingwen also signed up at that time, and after seeing his senior brother’s message, he took the initiative to say: “Why don’t I quit?”

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Pingce’s message popped out in the private chat box: “You want to learn to dance?”

Yue Xingwen said: “To learn a little, it will definitely be useful when I work in the future. I can’t have someone politely asking me to dance and me saying every time, sorry, I don’t know how to… It’s embarrassing.”

Jiang Pingce said lightly: “En, it makes sense. Then I’ll join too.” xVPvol

Yue Xingwen was full of question marks. “No, there was already an extra boy, if you join, wouldn’t there be two more boys?”

Jiang Pingce seemed to think for a few seconds before replying: “If I’m your dance partner, there will be no extra.”

Yue Xingwen: “……”

After a string of ellipses, Yue Xingwen couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Your method of solving problems is really unique. However, we’re both boys, how are we going to dance ah? You do the girl step or I do the girl step?” 1Q DY8

Jiang Pingce said: “As you wish.”

Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, “Then to be fair, let’s switch! I’ll dance the girl’s step this week, and next time it’s your turn, so that way we can both learn the steps of both male and female, it’s nice!”

So when the dance class officially started training, everyone unexpectedly realized that the two most handsome boys in the entire class, actually… each other’s dance partner!

The freshman girls were getting their hearts broken and they all complained on the forum: “Holy shit, I was going to boldly ask student Xingwen to be my dance partner, but Xingwen said, ‘Sorry I already have a dance partner’. I thought beauty came first, and it turned out… a big handsome guy? Two handsome guys dancing together, don’t give the girls a way to live!” CYeUzn

“That’s Jiang Pingce from the Mathematics Department, he is an alumni from Yue Xingwen’s high school. It’s said that these two are the top students in the liberal arts and science in Xingcheng.”

“So they mean that the top student only plays with the top student and doesn’t want to pay attention to us?”

Because Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce were both outstanding, the picture of the two learning dance together had become the most unique scenery of that dance class, and Zhuo Feng also complained: “Can the two of you be a little more enlightened? What a great opportunity for a dance class, there are so many beautiful girls, what’s wrong with you guys not going to find a partner but being with each other!”

Yue Xingwen said bluntly, “I think it’s good to cooperate with PIngce, the two of us still have a tacit understanding. Since the first class, we have never stepped on each other’s feet, and we learned the movements quickly. The girl next to me stepped on her dance partner’s feet with high heels, I was scared to look at it.” spaODq

Zhuo Feng: “…”

He thought that these two junior brothers had really been single until now by virtue of their strength.

When he mentioned the dance class, those vivid memories flashed through his mind and Jiang Pingce remembered the experience of learning to dance with Xingwen in his freshman year, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

Yue Xingwen obviously thought of that experience as well. He looked at Jiang Pingce and asked, “Do you still remember the movements you learned back then?” GJ5xX

Jiang Pingce: “Of course.”

Yue Xingwen looked around at his classmates again, “Who else knows how to dance?”

Lin Manluo raised her hand and said, “I can do Latin dance.”

Lan Yarong said, “I know street dance.” Hlm9yp

Liu Zhaoqing was impressed by her and said, “Yo, senior sister Lan, you’re so cool, you can still do street dance ah?”

Lan Yarong smiled. “I’m short, and street dancing looks cool. Do you want me to flip a few somersaults for you to look at?”

Liu Zhaoqing coughed lightly and closed his mouth.

Yue Xingwen counted. In the current team, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo, Xu Yishen and Lan Yarong, he and Pingce would dance, but he wasn’t sure whether it would add professional knowledge for the Dance Department’s course, it was better to find an outside help for the sake of safety. aehsjN

Thinking of this, he looked at Qi Luoran and asked, “Junior brother, do you have any recommendations from the Dance Department students you know?”

Qi Luoran said, “Our team does not have a Dance Department’s student, but I know a senior sister, who has danced since elementary school. She knows Latin, ballet, modern dance, street dance, she can dance some, all-around goddess. Why don’t I ask her?”

Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “I’ll trouble junior brother.”

Qi Luoran immediately sent a message over, and soon received a reply. Yue Xingwen and Qi Luoran together, met with this senior sister. The other party was very willing to join Research Group 183 as this X-team member. FR0r8H

After deciding on the X-team member, Yue Xingwen returned to his dormitory and laid down on his bed to rest.

In his sleep, he seemed to return to the dance class training site of his freshman year. After Yue Xingwen came to the dance studio, several girls came up to him to ask for WeChat, he added them out of politeness, and one of the girls took the initiative to say whether she could be her dance partner or not, but Yue Xingwen smiled and politely declined.

Because Yue Xingwen was good-tempered and always smiling, the girls probably thought he was good to talk to, so they chatted with him one way or another. Yue Xingwen was struggling with how to get out of the situation, when he saw a tall boy walking through the crowd towards him.

Jiang Pingce walked quickly to him, stood in front of him and said, “It’s almost time for class, get ready.” 9ImXjY

The boy who suddenly appeared seemed to be enveloped in a cold aura, and those students who surrounded Yue Xingwen consciously took a step aside.

He took Yue Xingwen away from the encirclement, and the two found a corner position. Yue Xingwen was relieved. In a serious manner, he slightly bowed his body and made a very gentlemanly gesture. “Can I ask you for a dance?”

A trace of gentleness floated in Jiang Pingce’s eyes, and he gently held Yue Xingwen’s hand. “Okay.”

The dream came to an abrupt end at this moment, and Yue Xingwen found that he seemed to dream about Jiang Pingce often recently? Ijf7dS

He rubbed his messy hair from sleeping into weeds, turned his head to look at the opposite side of the bed. Jiang Pingce had already gotten up, a box lunch was placed on the table and both of them gazed at each other, then Jiang Pingce said warmly, “You just slept very well, I didn’t call you during lunch time. I went to the canteen to get a takeaway and came back. If you’re hungry, let’s eat first.”

Yue Xingwen quickly got up and wolfed down his meal before washing his face and brushing his teeth to clean himself up.

Seeing that the time was already 7:30 pm, Yue Xingwen sent a collection message in the Research Group and went out side by side with Jiang Pingce. When he walked to the door, Yue Xingwen suddenly said, “The Conservatory of Music let us play in an ensemble, and for the Dance Department’s exam, I wonder if they’ll let us dance?”

Jiang Pingce turned his head to look at him, “Are you still willing to be my dance partner if need be?” G8ZVhp

Yue Xingwen smiled brightly, “Of course, the two of us are old partners.”

They had taken more than ten dance lessons together, Yue Xingwen was convinced that in the matter of ‘dancing’, no one else would have a better understanding than Jiang Pingce and him, rather than finding an unfamiliar partner to dance, it would be better to dance directly with Jiang Pingce.
