Chapter 106 Part 2: Give Me the Choreographer You Use (2)
That kiss was green and fleeting, like a peach brimming with temptation brushing the lips. It seeped into her soul, igniting her body with electric currents, a tingling sensation that spread warmth and joy through every limb.
If… if we could do it again—several times—how incredible would it be?
Chu Yuanqing felt a mix of surprise and chaos. The accidental kiss lingered stronger than before, pulling her mind away from the stage as the dance neared its end.
The golden retriever’s lips—their taste vivid in her memory—were warm, soft, and slightly awkward, with a trace of moisture. Every detail lingered, replaying in her mind like a stubborn melody she couldn’t escape.
Realization struck. She had completely messed up. Panic crept in as she considered the implications.
Luckily, the camera hadn’t captured her momentary loss of composure. Xie Qingxuan seamlessly linked the next sequence, masking any signs of her distraction from the live broadcast.
Xie Qingxuan, full of unyielding confidence, flowed effortlessly with the dance’s rhythm. In a dominant move, she gestured as though removing her nail polish, her gaze brimming with desire. Her presence rolled over Chu Yuanqing, snapping her back into focus.
The two stood, suppressing the storm of thoughts swirling within them, and skillfully completed the final sequence of the performance. Cheers and screams of exhilaration filled the live studio as the stage lights dimmed.
The virtual reality backdrop dissolved, revealing a pure, bright white space.
The performance had been electrifying. The overflowing tension, small yet dramatic interactions, and strategic movements painted a compelling picture of chemistry and unspoken connection. It was an intoxicating display of sensual energy and subtle storytelling that captivated the audience.
Below the stage, Chen Baijiu rubbed his temples. His expression carried a mix of exasperation and admiration. Amidst the complex emotions swirling within him, one thought stood out clearly:
Heart Flow.
Once again, “Heart Flow” had proven its power.
How many future global idols would this season of Dazzling Stage unveil?
Kirimi Miyuki. Chu Yuanqing. Xie Qingxuan.
Each name shone brightly. Any one of them could step into the spotlight at the Kyoto node and dominate, like a fish leaping out of a small pond into boundless waters.
Sea City’s streak of luck seemed unparalleled. Except for Xie Qingxuan, the other two contestants had started with little popularity or foundation. Yet here they were, breaking through barriers and emerging as dazzling gemstones of the competition.
In terms of technical skill, the Grade A contestants from Kyoto weren’t far behind. But Sea City had something else—performances bursting with raw emotion and unprecedented intensity. Chu Yuanqing and Little Sakura’s explosive synergy on the secondary stage had created a ripple effect that no one could ignore.
The live room erupted with feedback from viewers:
“That was insane! Like upgrading from fast food to a gourmet feast—I was hyped the entire time!”
“The immersion, the chemistry, the tension—I’m obsessed!”
Scoring
The judges began their evaluation.
Zhao Dapan, focusing solely on vocals, awarded Xie Qingxuan a perfect score and Chu Yuanqing a solid result, deducting only four points overall.
Luo Siling, analyzing facial expressions and stage emotions, praised the pair’s synergy, deducting just two points for minor technical flaws.
Jiang Chi, the rap mentor, gave only brief remarks, clearly out of his depth with such a performance. He left the scoring to others.
Finally, Chen Baijiu, sharp and discerning as ever, provided thoughtful feedback:
“Chu Yuanqing, your progress is remarkable.”
“If I hadn’t seen your journey from zero to now, I wouldn’t believe you’ve been dancing for just a month. To capture the essence of music, interpret lyrics through movement, and create a performance brimming with ambiguous tension—it’s no small feat. Keep this up, and you’ll undoubtedly shine in the industry.”
Despite his kind words, Chen Baijiu abruptly shifted gears, pointing out a deviation in Chu Yuanqing’s choreography:
“Your near-kiss gesture—was that a mistake or intentional?”
Chu Yuanqing’s mind reeled.
The kiss.
The memory flashed vividly in her mind—soft, awkward, and electrifying.
Had she really kissed Xie Qingxuan twice during the performance? Was it caught on camera? Would anyone think she did it on purpose?
Caught off guard, she forced herself to respond calmly:
“It was planned.”
Xie Qingxuan, standing beside her, remained silent, her expression unreadable.
Chen Baijiu moved on, his sharp critiques cutting five points from their final score.
Stage Effects
Stage effects carried significant weight, accounting for 50% of the total score.
With the chemistry and tension they displayed, it seemed impossible for the judges to dock points.
The results: 49, 48, 49.5, and 49. Removing the highest and lowest scores, the average was 49. Combined with other categories, the final total reached 88 points—a solid, dominant performance.
As the next duo, Chen Yining and Ji Shuzhu, stepped onto the stage, anticipation built for their rendition of the iconic dance “Naughty.”
Back in the dressing room, Xie Qingxuan’s eyes glinted with a cold determination.
“The outcome was decided the moment we stepped onto the stage,” she whispered.
Her lips curved into a sly smile as she murmured:
“Hand over your choreographer, Miss Yunlan Entertainment.”
