She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 309: Chapter 315: A Secret Rivalry

With this, she could conquer the group of bumpkins with her graceful dancing, but Qiu Bai didn’t let her do anything. She even had Hai Lan practice team chemistry alongside Lu Xiaoshuang.

Such a childish matter was really too boring. Hai Lan wanted to rebel several times, but ultimately made the smart choice to keep quiet.

However, she attributed her grievances to Sheng Ning because Qiu Bai actually let Sheng Ning perform an excerpt from the dance of Hope Field.

Hai Lan tried several times to snatch back the spotlight, but her attempts ended in failure. From the morning training until lunchtime, wherever she went, the discussions were about Blood Rose. Most of the topics revolved around the performer of the female lead, Wu Youli, or the script’s creator, Rebirth.

And she became a complete laughingstock.

Inside Training Room One, although everyone was still practicing hard, the atmosphere was completely different from before.

Small groups had naturally formed.

Hai Lan wore her own dressed-up attire, a pure white dress that fully showcased her tall and slender figure.

She danced like a proud swan, and since Qiu Bai didn’t give her the chance to perform, she decided to create her own opportunity.

As Hai Lan began to dance, the practice room fell silent in an instant.

She was indeed a professional dance artist; her dancing skills were undeniable.

Qin Cuifen saw her dance and naturally wouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity; she joined in as well.

Sheng Ning stopped and crossed her arms, watching the two perform.

Such deliberate display of eagerness—you’d have to be blind not to notice, unless Teacher Qiu Bai was blind.

In this life, she was determined to be the lead dancer.

“Sheng Ning, get up there!” Chen Huaying said with a sly smile, “Go show them up, and give Hai Lan a reality check. Otherwise, she’ll continue to think she’s the best in the world!”

Who danced well and who didn’t was immediately obvious.

“It’s not for me to say, but even with her attitude, she’s not as good as Lu Xiaoshuang and Zheng Meilin.”

“Keep it down, will you? Do you want to infuriate her in public? Can’t you see Lu Xiaoshuang’s fiery gaze already?”

Always looking for trouble.

“Still, you can’t let them make fools of themselves on stage!” Lu Dabao sneaked a peanut from his pocket and started nibbling on it like a little mouse.

These two clowns!

Sheng Ning really wanted to disassociate from them.

“Dabao, not bad! You’re getting the hang of the art of speaking,” Chen Huaying said, looping an arm around Lu Dabao’s shoulder, looking like buddies.

“That’s right, I study political thought every day. Gotta keep progressing with the times.” Lu Dabao stealthily ate another peanut and commented, “Ah! The peanuts from your dorm are really good! They definitely seem homegrown.”

Chen Huaying’s mouth twitched; those were all hers. They had been robbed by him and, on top of that, were being sneaked into the practice room.

“Enough! Can you two take things seriously for once?” Sheng Ning was really at her wit’s end with them; these two together were never up to any good.

“Go on then! Didn’t you see Hai Lan’s look? She’d flay you alive if she could,” Chen Huaying gestured.

Sheng Ning looked up and met Hai Lan’s eyes in a mid-air clash.

“Yikes! Do I see sparks flying?”

“Yikes! Do I smell something burning? Something must be scorched.”

Chen Huaying and Lu Dabao chimed in together seamlessly. Sheng Ning suddenly felt a strong push from behind and before she could steady herself, she was rushing towards the center of the stage.
