The short-haired girl was stunned.

Su Yunxiu only said one word. They couldn’t react for a moment, and the air fell into a strange silence.

“What do you mean?”

She had to admit that she was still a little afraid of Su Yunxiu’s gaze.

Her gaze was too calm.

Su Yunxiu said, “Since you’re not convinced, let’s compete and see if I have the ability to take this position. How about that?”

She felt that this was the best solution.

She would use her own strength to convince them so that they would not always gossip behind her back.

“Sure! Let’s compete in dance techniques.”

“Anything is fine.”

One was a student and the other was a teacher. The others did not know how to persuade them.

The short-haired girl had also been pampered since she was young. Her family had always listened to her, so it was inevitable that she was a little arrogant. Su Yunxiu could tell that she wasn’t a bad person, but she just couldn’t accept it for a moment.

Su Yunxiu took a few steps back and calmly glanced at the others. “You guys will be voting later.”

“Alright.”

“No problem, we will definitely vote fairly.”

Some girls cheered for Su Yunxiu, while others didn’t say anything. Su Yunxiu knew that they were the ones who supported the short-haired girl, but they didn’t say anything because of her status as a teacher.

The short-haired girl raised her head. “Is Teacher Su going first or am I?”

Su Yunxiu: “You first.”

The short-haired girl didn’t stand on ceremony and nodded. The rest of the class retreated to the wall. She got into position and Su Yunxiu played soft music for her. The other party began.

Su Yunxiu supported her chin with one hand and sized up her opponent’s foundation. It was not difficult to see that her dance foundation was quite solid. Otherwise, she would not have been accepted by this school.

It was a pity that her techniques did not combine well with her softness. She could only see that she was eager to win and was trying her best to express herself with every move. Su Yunxiu played the best music, but she ignored the music and only cared about her movements.

This would look impressive to non-professionals, but they would also feel that something was missing.

After the song ended, Su Yunxiu took the lead in clapping. The short-haired girl turned around and realized that she was clapping for her. Her heart skipped a beat. She was clearly the one who caused trouble, but Su Yunxiu was still clapping for her.

She lowered her eyes and went back silently.

Next was Su Yunxiu. Many people were looking forward to her performance. They all raised their necks, not wanting to miss any exciting moments. Some people heard that she entered the school with a first-place ranking, so they could imagine how outstanding she was.

The music was still the same. The moment Su Yunxiu raised her hand, everyone’s eyes involuntarily fell on her.

She glowed like a beam of light in the empty room.

She executed the same movements differently. Her control of her body was very good. Her movements were both forceful and soft, flowing like water and blending perfectly with the music.

As professional students, they could only think of one description when they saw her softness and strength. She was amazing!

For a moment, everyone was so focused on admiring that they completely forgot about the competition.

The short-haired girl’s face burned.

She remembered how she had mocked Su Yunxiu just now. Now that she thought about it, she really overestimated herself.

When the music ended, they were still in a daze.

Su Yunxiu did not even pant.

There was no doubt that she had won this competition.

She had won completely.

Su Yunxiu felt a faint pain in her waist. The pain was getting stronger and stronger. She said calmly, “Are there any problems?”

“No.”

“No problems.”

“No.”

More than ten people said in unison, shaking their heads like a rattle drum.

After witnessing Su Yunxiu’s strength, who would want to pit themselves against her?

However, since she had such a solid foundation, they wondered why they didn’t hear about her reputation in the dance world.

In the beginning, everyone thought that her strength was average and that she could participate in this performance because of her connections. Now, they were all convinced and even started to admire her.

Su Yunxiu could clearly feel the change in everyone’s eyes. After a short break in the afternoon, no one dared to say anything during the afternoon rehearsal.

The rain in the afternoon gradually lessened. The coolness faded, and the sun shone, bringing with it a little heat.

Her waist felt even worse than in the morning. When people were uncomfortable, they would feel that time had passed exceptionally slowly.

After class ended, the students left one after another. Su Yunxiu frowned and sat on the ground without moving. They thought that Su Yunxiu was still thinking about something, so they did not disturb her.

“Teacher… Teacher Su.”

Su Yunxiu looked up. It was a short-haired girl.

“It’s over. You can go back to the dormitory to rest.” Su Yunxiu’s eyes were filled with interest as she teased, “Don’t tell me you still want to compete with me?”

She hurriedly shook her head and blurted out, “No, no. I just have something to say to you.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

She looked at Su Yunxiu and stammered, “I’m sorry about what happened this morning. I shouldn’t have acted on impulse.”

“It’s fine. You have guts.”

The girl was stunned. She didn’t expect Su Yunxiu to say this. Instead of criticizing her, she praised her for having guts.

For some reason, she felt a lump in her throat and felt even more guilty.

She regretted her insensibility.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized again.

“It’s fine. It’s not a big deal.”

Su Yunxiu comforted her. The golden sunset shone through the window, and her body was covered in a layer of gold. The dimples on her face appeared faintly when she smiled, making one’s heart feel warm.

The short-haired girl was stunned. How could she be so good-looking? If she were a man, she would definitely like her.

Su Yunxiu had no idea that she had unknowingly gotten herself a little fangirl. She continued, “Actually, your dance foundation is very good. It’s just that your movements are too rushed and lack a bit of gentleness. In the future, it would be better if you try to bring yourself into the dance.”

“Thank you. I’ll definitely practice hard.”

Su Yunxiu’s smile widened. “Alright, it’s getting late. You should go back too.”

“Okay.”

She packed her things and smiled at Su Yunxiu. Just as she was about to reach the door, she suddenly returned.

Su Yunxiu looked at her in confusion.

She took out a box from her bag and handed it to Su Yunxiu. “This ointment is quite effective. If your waist hurts, apply it there. It can relieve a lot of pain by the next day.”

Su Yunxiu was stunned. “How do you know my waist hurts?”

“I smelled it,” she explained. “You smell like ointment.”

“Your sense of smell is really good. Thank you for this ointment.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Okay.”

After Su Yunxiu and the others left, She looked at the ointment in her hand and felt a warm feeling surging in her heart.

She sat on the ground and rested for a while. Her waist felt a little better, so she propped herself up with one hand. Su Yunxiu was afraid that it would rain again if she delayed any longer, so she planned to leave quickly.

In the long corridor, there were students coming and going. Su Yunxiu casually looked ahead and stopped in surprise. She blinked in disbelief and even thought that she was hallucinating.

In the crowd, the man was dressed casually. He was standing at the end of the corridor and looked at her quietly.

Passing through the sea of people, he only saw her figure.
