Half an hour had passed since the time Tong Xinyao told Shen Miao, and there was no message on the phone. He must be busy and didn't have time to see her off. No problem, it was just to make him happy.
Tong Xinyao and Chen Zhiyuan went downstairs. Because Chen Zhiyuan was an international friend, the program team arranged better accommodation for him, but it was in the opposite direction from Tong Xinyuan's dormitory.
"Do you want me to take you back? I heard from the program staff that you would get lost." Chen Zhiyuan was as gentleman as ever, but he didn't expect that the news of her getting lost would be spread.
"No, no, no." The place they lived in was in the opposite direction, and it was his first time here. He would get lost later.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you, because I might be the one who sends you back to get lost." Can he read minds?
After saying goodbye to Chen Zhiyuan, Tong Xinyao walked a few steps. When she reached the stairs on the other side of the same building, she vaguely noticed someone sitting at the top of the stairs.
"Shen Miao?" Tong Xinyao recognized him at a glance and was 100% sure because she had seen him today and knew the clothes he was wearing.
Hearing someone calling him, Shen Miao subconsciously looked up. When he found out it was Tong Xinyao, he stood up excitedly, "Sister, have you finished practicing?"
Tong Xinyao looked around. There was no one else around, and the lights on nearby floors were all turned off. Could he really be waiting for her? "Are you waiting for me? It's so windy here that you don't have to worry about catching a cold."
"Can I wait for someone else without waiting for my sister?"
"Didn't I tell you to come back when the time is right? You got off work early and went back to rest!" I don't know whether to call him stupid or honest. "Why didn't you send me a message when you came? What if I don't pass by here? "
"Then I promised that my sister will come. I'm afraid that if I leave you a message and you're in a hurry to leave, you won't practice well, and it won't be good if your idol has opinions about you." A little aggrieved but not much, more for Tong Xinyao She cared about him and was happy, "Let's go, I'll take my sister back."
"good!"
"Don't be so stupid next time. If you don't get off work early, go back and rest early..."
Along the way, Tong Xinyao was telling Shen Miao not to be so stupid in the future. Shen Miao listened silently and nodded. Did he listen? No, he will do it again next time.
The next day, Tong Xinyao and Chen Zhiyuan were arranged to rehearse early in the morning. Before the rehearsal, they reviewed several difficult moves that they had practiced crazily the night before. They went well and there should be no big problems.
During the formal rehearsal, those difficult lifting exercises were successfully completed, and the choreographer teacher Orange, who was watching below, finally let go of the sweat in his hands.
However, what is unexpected is that they actually made a mistake in a very simple small lift. This was a very stable and confident movement when they practiced it for the first time, so they never practiced it again.
It was just a movement of Tong Xinyao jumping up slightly, Chen Zhiyuan hugging her, turning her around slightly and then putting her down. The mistake was because Chen Zhiyuan didn't hold firmly. After turning around, Tong Xinyao couldn't stand firm due to the centrifugal force, and her knees hit the ground heavily.
Probably due to the trend of professionalism, dancing cannot stop until the music stops. Figure skating competitions often cause mistakes and falls. With his rich experience, Chen Zhiyuan used dance moves to lift Tong Xinyao up and keep up with the rhythm of the music. Take the next action.
Because of the mistake, they were more cautious in subsequent movements. The mistake did not occur again, but there was an unnatural feeling of fear. All attention was focused on the movements, and their expressions became much stiffer.
The music ended and everyone was waiting for Teacher Orange to speak. The atmosphere was silent for half a minute, and Teacher Orange was also thinking about something.
"It can be seen that you have worked hard on several consecutive lifts, and you are much more stable, which is very good, but other movements cannot be ignored..." Just as they were preparing to be criticized on the stage, Teacher Orange stopped again,
"I'm wondering if it was possible that Xinyao's fall just now was intentional. Maybe it was a more special emotion, a bit like Phantom's love and hate for Christine, so he deliberately made her fall, but And he gently lifted her up."
Tong Xinyao and Chen Zhiyuan looked at each other on the stage. They didn't expect that an unintentional mistake could have another interpretation, and it seemed to fit the storyline better.
"You can think about this again. You go down and think about it first. I will go find you after the rehearsal. Also, you are all professional athletes. Show some professionalism. If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. From now on, you can continue as if it never happened. Jump in, don’t be timid, believe in yourself.”
They all skate singles, and they know their own abilities well in normal competitions, and they are the only ones skating, so a single mistake will not affect the subsequent movements. But now we are two people. We don't know what the other person is thinking, so we can only be cautious. In the final analysis, we still have insufficient training and insufficient trust.
After falling down, Tong Xinyao and Chen Zhiyuan focused on studying and understanding the action just mentioned by Teacher Juzi. To make the fall beautiful and not like a mistake, Chen Zhiyuan had to make a light throwing action. In order to ensure safety, Tong Xinyao followed his strength. Falling down on your own after landing will test the consistency of your movements.
They tried several throwing methods, and finally chose an action that allowed the audience to see the intention of the performance.
In addition, they learned their lessons and reorganized the entire program several times. Whenever there were mistakes, they practiced repeatedly to find out the feeling. The intensity was no less than that of playing on the ice before the game.
Teacher Orange came to see them after watching all the rehearsals and saw their adapted version. He was so impressed that he said, "It's very good. He deserves to be a professional athlete."
Teacher Orange watched their complete set of dance again. It was much better than the rehearsal just now, and their expressions and movements were more in place.
They didn't practice very hard that night, in order to preserve their strength and avoid injuries.
On the day of recording, Tong Xinyao only ate a little as usual. The recording process went very smoothly, and Tong Xinyao got the highest score in that session. Although it may have been a deliberate stunt created by the program team, they fully deserved this ranking.
After the recording, Tong Xinyao was stimulated by her recent poor training status. She bought a flight back to the imperial capital later that night. If she went back earlier, she could start training earlier. Therefore, the moment the recording of the program ended, her state had already changed from the program. Detach and get back to your daily training routine.
Chen Zhiyuan had already left in a hurry at the urging of his assistant. Tong Xinyao didn't even have time to ask him about his upcoming itinerary in China, leaving her alone in the dressing room to clean up. But it doesn’t matter. I have his WeChat account now. I can ask him later, but I don’t know if he sees it often...
"elder sister!"
