Chapter 131: A Good Show Is Coming Up Soon
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There were fifteen dancers training in the dance studio today, but only ten people joined the team dinner.
Fu Jin didn’t force the issue and brought the ten of them to a restaurant for dinner.
Tang Beibei listened to her teammates talk during dinner and got a little more familiar with them. As Fu Jin told them, the relationship between the dancers wasn’t very good indeed.
Because they dance in smaller ensembles, some people were closer, and cliques emerged.
The dancers were also subjected to weekly training and assessment. They must pass the assessment to get the chance to go on stage. Therefore, although everyone trained together, they were actually competitors.
They were supposed to go to karaoke after dinner, but someone mentioned that there was a very famous bar nearby. Not only could they sing, but they could also dance there. The people who went there were also either rich or noble.
Fu Jin took the team’s suggestion and they went to the bar.
Tang Beibei went along. The lively music and atmosphere made people want to dance but Tang Beibei raised her eyebrows calmly.
Ruan Qi pulled her and asked her why she wasn’t dancing.
Tang Beibei’s lips twitched as she whispered in Ruan Qi’s ear, “Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will droop if you dance right after you ate? Let’s rest for a while first.”
“…” This was the scary part about medical students.
Ruan Qi did not care about that. She was having fun anyway. Besides, this didn’t happen every day. How could her stomach droop so easily?
Tang Beibei sat down and watched the rest dance. She saw all kinds of drinks on the table and asked the waitress if they had any mineral water. The waitress looked at her strangely.
“Miss, you want to drink mineral water here?”
“Huh? Can’t I?” Tang Beibei was puzzled.
“It’s not that you can’t. I’ll get some for you.”
Fu Jin heard her and asked, “There are drinks here. Why aren’t you drinking?”
Tang Beibei looked at the drinks on the table and licked her lips. She wanted to drink too, but she also wanted to dance. She should drink less.
She said, “I checked the prices. They’re too expensive. This bottle is usually only three or four yuan, but it costs seven or eight yuan here. The mark-up is so high. Is no one bothered?”
Fu Jin laughed in amusement. “The bar earns money from drinks. Beibei, it’s my treat. There’s no need to be so reserved.”
Tang Beibei still waved her hand no. “You shouldn’t spend money recklessly. I prefer the cheaper water. I like drinking it anyway.”
The waitress brought over a bottle of water. Tang Beibei asked how much the bottle of water cost, and the waitress answered perfunctorily that it cost five yuan.

Tang Beibei wanted to return the water to her. A bottle of mineral water that cost one yuan was actually selling for five yuan!
Fu Jin was mesmerized by her stunned look. “Beibei, don’t worry about this here.”
Tang Beibei reluctantly took the water, unscrewed the bottle, and took a sip. She complained, “The water here isn’t especially good anyway. 1 think 1’11 bring my own thermos the next time I come to a place like this.”

Fu Jin held back his laughter. This was the first time he heard of someone bringing a thermos to a bar.
Ruan Qi wanted to use the bathroom after dancing for a while and she pulled Tang Beibei along.
When Ruan Qi was washing her hands, she said to Tang Beibei, “Just now, someone in the team asked me if you are pursuing Fu Jin. I think you should keep your distance from Fu Jin.”
Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. “Me pursuing Fu Jin? What are they thinking?”
Ruan Qi shared her analysis, “You don’t look like you watch palace drama. There are ten of us here, seven women and three men. More women means more gossip.”
“Fu Jin is a good dancer, a good person, and a rich second-generation heir. It was normal for women to pursue him.”
“Moreover, there seemed to be a woman in the team who really pursued Fu Jin but was rejected by him. Therefore, any woman who’s close to Fu Jin will be attacked.”
Tang Beibei really didn’t pay attention to this. She was just chatting with Fu Jin, and nothing happened. How could she be misunderstood?
However, she’d better listen to Ruan Qi and keep her distance from Fu Jin.
The two of them were walking out of the bathroom when a woman walked into Tang Beibei, making her take a few steps back.
“Watch where you are going! Don’t you have eyes?”
Tang Beibei looked at the woman with heavy makeup speechlessly. She was the one who bumped into her, but she didn’t apologize and scolded her instead.
Ruan Qi roared, “You are the one who knocked into us and you think you are in the right?”
The woman staggered and held on to the woman beside her. She narrowed her eyes drunkenly and sneered when she saw the person in front of her.
“Oh, it’s Tang Beibei. I thought you were someone else. What are you doing in a place like this?”
Tang Beibei was puzzled. “Who are you?”
“You are actually pretending that you don’t know me. Haha, Tang Beibei, you’re really blind!”
Ruan Qi told Tang Beibei, “I almost didn’t recognize her if I didn’t hear her voice. She’s Lu Linlin.”
“Oh, it’s Lu Linlin. Your makeup skills are so good that I didn’t recognize you.” Tang Beibei commented.
Ruan Qi looked at her to make sure that she wasn’t joking. Lu Linlin’s makeup was so thick, and she looked ghostly pale and that’s good makeup skills?
Lu Linlin clicked her tongue, pushed Tang Beibei away and went into a bathroom stall.
Tang Beibei stumbled backwards. Ruan Qi was so angry that she wanted to retaliate but Tang Beibei stopped her.
“She’s already drunk. We won’t hold it against a drunkard. Also, don’t waste your good mood on a person like that. Let’s go.” Tang Beibei comforted her.
Ruan Qi was furious. “Aren’t you angry?”
“I’m angry, but I saw that her neck and arms were a little red just now. It seems like she’s having an allergic reaction. This kind of allergy can be quite troublesome if she doesn’t take care of it.” Tang Beibei said.
Ruan Qi looked at her in shock. “You even saw that? You’re indeed a top student!”
Tang Beibei explained quietly, “1 read about it in a book. This kind of allergy is not obvious at first. After she moves around for a while, it will appear like a rash, possibly red and swollen, even edema. Serious edema will not go away for days.”
“If she didn’t push me just now, I would have reminded her out of kindness.
Since she was rude to me, I wouldn’t be kind to her either.”
Ruan Qi was instantly appeased. She felt that this top student was quite cute. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to fight back but she had other ways to make the other person suffer.
In the bathroom, Lu Linlin washed her face and felt her arms itch. She patted them with cold water, and she felt better, so she didn’t bother with the rashes.
She then patted her face with cold water before she came to her senses. She had just met Tang Beibei.
She belatedly realized that this bar was her territory. If she wanted something to happen to Tang Beibei, she could just ask.
At the thought of messing with Tang Beibei, Lu Linlin instantly became energetic. She did not care about the rashes on her body and quickly went out with her friends.
“Sisters, a good show is coming up soon.”
Her friends were curious. “Are you talking about the two women just now?”
“Yeah, it’s the woman who knocked into me.. She had the audacity to snatch my man, so I’ll give her a few men to satisfy her!”
