There were no lines in dance dramas, and performers used body language and facial expressions to tell the story.
People who didn’t know much about drama or “Romance of the Western Chamber” would find it difficult to understand what was going on.
Therefore, Tang Beibei deliberately added a few lines from Huangmei opera and treated their performance like a stage play.
The simple lines worked like introductions. Along with the traditional poetry and Chinese opera singing, their performance was also promoting traditional
Chinese culture in a way.
The emcee went on stage and handed a microphone to Tang Beibei to introduce
her team.
Tang Beibei was a little nervous. Her palms were sweaty as she introduced her team to everyone. “These are my classmates, Fu Jin, Ruan Qi, and Ye Lan.” The emcee was curious. “Did you design this dance drama yourself or did you hire a teacher to design it? I found it very interesting.
Tang Beibei glanced at Fu Jin and explained, “It was designed by my captain, Fu Jin. He founded a dance studio called Jin Dance Studio.
The emcee sighed. “You guys are medical students, yet you’re able to set up your own dance studio and dance so professionally. It’s quite impressive. Why did you choose ‘Romance of the Western Chamber’ then?”
-The Romance of the Western Chamber’ is one of the most famous Chinese dramatic works. Performing it is kind of showing our respect for Chinese medicine.”
Tang Beibei looked at the group of seniors in the medical field below the stage.
It was impossible for her not to be nervous.
However, she remembered her intention when designing this dance drama and explained with a smile, “When I was a freshman, I had to learn chemistry, mathematics, and remember all kinds of facts. The headache was that I had to memorize anatomy before I could slowly learn more about Chinese medicine.
-After I started my sophomore year, my teacher, Professor Chen, emphasized to me that Chinese medicine and Western medicine are sometimes different.
“I didn’t understand it before, but now I understand a little.
-As a student of Chinese medicine, we have to understand a lot of medical theories and use scientific methods to treat patients. Only by showing effectiveness could Chinese medicine be more convincing.”
“The story portrays an ideal of our ancestors, that all lovers in the world would be married. My friends and I, who live in the present, hope to use what we’ve learned to do something different.
Tang Beibei took a step back and the four of them bowed to all the teachers and scholars in the audience.
Cheers rang out from below the stage for their sincerity and their whimsical
ideas.
The emcee was very touched. These youngsters were quite something to be able to put on such a thoughtful performance at a medical conference.
“Thank you, Miss Tang, for bringing us the performance. Thank you all for your sincerity and love for medicine.”
The emcee shared more of his sentiments before he let them off the stage. After Tang Beibei got off the stage, she ran behind Professor Chen and started taking notes.
Professor Chen glanced at her. Tang Beibei quickly asked, “Professor, our program didn’t embarrass you, did it?
Professor Chen took a sip of tea lazily. “It’s alright. Nothing went wrong.” Tang Beibei smiled. “Thank you, Professor Chen, for giving me this opportunity to perform.”
“Well, I’m glad that you appreciate it. It’s quite clever to use this method to promote Chinese culture.”
-If you like dancing, then practice hard. It’s important to study medicine, but
it’s also important to exercise your body.”
Tang Beibei was touched by his encouragement. “Thank you, teacher.” She didn’t call him professor, but teacher. This way of addressing him made her feel closer to him.
Bai Qian, who was standing behind Cao Xun, looked at Tang Beibei affectionately. He found her even more attractive now.
“Miss Tang, you danced really well and have a unique way of thinking. You’re really an outstanding girl.”
Tang Beibei waved her hand in embarrassment. “I’m not that good. My captain danced way better than me. He mastered ballet but I didn’t expect his classical dance to be so regal too. Compared to him, I’m just a newbie.”
Bai Qian wanted to praise her to get close to her, but he didn’t expect her to praise her captain so much. Bai Qian smiled awkwardly.
He then asked hesitantly, “Miss Tang, is your captain also a medical student?” “Yeah, he’s my class monitor and my dance captain. We train together, and we study together too.”
Tang Beibei explained earnestly, but when Bai Qian heard it, he understood it differently.
She praised a man so much and spent so much time with him. They acted so well together as lovers. Tang Beibei was clearly hinting to him that he no longer had a chance. She was already taken.
Bai Qian was disappointed and looked at Tang Beibei with a hurt expression. He consoled himself that since Tang Beibei was so pretty, had such a good figure and was Professor Chen’s student, there would definitely be boys after her.
However, Tang Beibei did not feel his disappointment at all and was still taking notes seriously.
Professor Chen saw Bai Qian’s depressed expression and snorted.
He was the kind of boy who couldn’t even beat Fu Jin, yet he wanted to date Tang Beibei. He wasn’t qualified, hmph!
Professor Chen was also keen to nurture Tang Beibei. He thought that she could gain a deeper understanding of the lectures and discussions, so he gave her a reading list.
Tang Beibei gulped as she looked at the long list of books and foreign literature.
She wanted to faint but didn’t dare to.
When the medical conference ended, Tang Beibei helped Professor Chen pack his things to go home. When she walked out of the hotel, she saw Ruan Qi waving at her. Behind Ruan Qi stood a man who was much taller than her. The man stood tall and straight. He was wearing a blue-checkered suit and glasses. He lazily hooked his finger at her.
The corners of Tang Beibei’s mouth curled up. She carried her bag and quickened her pace to run to him.
The man pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
“You drank tea?”
“Yes. How did you know?”
Jiang Jingchen curled his lips and gave her a light peck on the corner of her lips. “I can smell Tieguanyin.”
A woman who smelled like tea was really tempting.
“Wow, you can even recognize it by smell. You’re amazing.
Jiang Jingchen asked her, “I haven’t seen you all day. Did you miss me?”
“No, I’ve been busy all day. I…”
instantly, she felt the air pressure around her drop. The man’s expression was dark and intimidating. Tang Beibei was so scared that she shuddered.
She quickly changed her tune. “I, I haven’t seen you for a day, but it feels like three years. I didn’t just miss you. I missed you to death, hehe.”
Jiang Jingchen pinched her cheek. “Little liar.”
Tang Beibei was afraid that he would be angry, so she raised her head and kissed his cheek. “I’m not lying. I miss you. I miss you so much that I’m hungry.”
…… Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement. “Then what do you want to eat? Or do you want to eat me?”
“I’m not eating you. What good food are you? I want to eat Zhajiang noodles. Sigh, I’m salivating just thinking about it.”
So, he couldn’t even compare to a bowl of Zhajiang noodles?
