Late Arrival

Outside the corridor, several photographers squatted by the window, looking at each other in dismay, all stifling laughter.

No one knew what possessed the people inside, with twenty or thirty of them dancing a seemingly silly dance together, while Chen Si Yang even helped film it with her phone.

As she filmed, Chen Si Yang couldn't take it anymore and squatted on the ground, clutching her stomach and laughing.

The scene was incredibly captivating and hilariously absurd.

The lenses of the photographers also began to shake.

Only the person leading the dance had the most energy.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, charisma, you know charisma! Look at the guy next to you with the crooked mouth, yes, just like that, crooked mouth looking at the sky, defying everyone," Tang Zhi Chu shouted loudly.

Tang Zhi Chu led the dance, bringing out Chen Si Yang's charisma.

After another round, Tang Zhi Chu gave them a thumbs-up and retreated victoriously.

He left a group of people looking at each other, mocking one another.

"You danced so ugly!"

"You're the ugly one!"

"I feel so silly, but I'm so happy!"

"I'm dying of laughter, why does Brother Tang look quite good when he dances?"

Many people were looking for their phones, asking those around them to record them.

Tang Zhi Chu sat back down where he had been sitting earlier, picking up the water someone had given him.

"You're all so silly, it's hilarious! Hahaha," Chen Si Yang crawled over, still laughing.

Tang Zhi Chu shrugged, "We were very serious, what's wrong? Don't you approve of my dancing?"

"Hahaha, I'm impressed, amazing, amazing, what were you thinking?"

"Just came up with it myself."

After laughing for a while, Chen Si Yang wanted the trainees to continue dancing, but after a glance, she decided against it.

Everyone was having too much fun, filming videos, comparing them, and then bursting into laughter.

"Let's go, I'll take you for a cup of coffee," Chen Si Yang got up, feeling that this class was probably over.

Tang Zhi Chu nodded and also stood up.

Not far away, someone saw Chen Si Yang and Tang Zhi Chu leaving through the back door and wanted to run over to greet them, but was pulled back by a companion.

"What are you doing, being a third wheel?"

"Is Brother Tang really Teacher Chen's boyfriend?"

"I didn't say that, and don't spread rumors."

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl nodded, looking at the retreating figures of Tang Zhi Chu and Chen Si Yang, and suddenly said, "I actually quite like him."

Her companion's eyes widened, "Like who?"

"Oh, it's not that kind of like, it's more like a respectful admiration."

"Why? Because of the dance he taught us?"

"No." The girl thought for a moment before replying, "It's that sentence he said, right? Dreams are important, but happiness is even more important."

Her companion fell silent. This was a star-making factory, and everyone was striving for their dreams, but out of so many people, how many could become true artists?

The coffee shop was on the second floor, next to the cafeteria. Tang Zhi Chu and Chen Si Yang sat opposite each other.

Neither of them spoke. Chen Si Yang stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon.

Tang Zhi Chu looked out at the bustling traffic.

If he hadn't messed up this date, it should have been an inspirational theme, right?

"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous," Chen Si Yang suddenly said.

Tang Zhi Chu snapped back to attention and smiled, "How am I humorous? This is called happiness. When I'm bored, I find my own happiness."

Chen Si Yang's eyes widened, "Whoa, so you're saying I made you bored."

"No, I was afraid you'd be bored."

"You were the one having fun."

Tang Zhi Chu didn't argue. He took out his phone and opened DY.

Chen Si Yang looked curious, "What are you doing?"

Tang Zhi Chu held up his phone, signaling Chen Si Yang to come closer.

Chen Si Yang got up and sat next to Tang Zhi Chu.

Tang Zhi Chu scrolled through DY, then tapped on "Nearby." After browsing a few videos, sure enough, he found the videos of the trainees dancing "Orange Memory."

"See, there are quite a lot of likes!" Tang Zhi Chu said with a smile.

Chen Si Yang leaned over and then let out a snort of laughter.

This dance is indeed catchy. For Chen Si Yang, who is quite professional in dance, she had a feeling it might actually become popular.

Tang Zhi Chu had repeatedly come across several similar videos, all posted within the last twenty minutes, with some already garnering over a thousand likes.

These trainees had a natural advantage: they were all handsome men and beautiful women, and most of them had at least a small fanbase.

They were professionals and knew about the program's privacy, so neither Tang Zhi Chu nor Chen Si Yang appeared in their videos.

Tang Zhi Chu nodded in satisfaction. In his past life, he had deeply engaged with DY and knew how significant its advantages were. In his professional jargon from that past life, this was called building one's own traffic pool.

"What's the plan next?" Tang Zhi Chu asked Chen Si Yang.

Chen Si Yang looked at Tang Zhi Chu with a hint of confusion. "Are you sure you still want me to make the arrangements next?"

Uh.

Clearly, Chen Si Yang also knew Tang Zhi Chu had a date next.

Tang Zhi Chu puffed out his chest. "You make the plan. Whoever backs down is a dog!"

Chen Si Yang laughed. "Okay, then come with me to acting class."

After acting class finished, it was four in the afternoon.

Tang Zhi Chu left the Tianhe branch company.

Tang Zhi Chu didn't overthink Chen Si Yang's behavior; their interaction was evident.

He also didn't hide his favoritism towards Chen Si Yang.

They were all adults; whatever happened in the future would be dealt with in the future.

Tang Zhi Chu arrived at Zhou Yun's gym a little after five.

The gym was on the second floor of a commercial street. Zhou Yun met Tang Zhi Chu downstairs.

As soon as they met, Zhou Yun didn't give Tang Zhi Chu a warm reception.

They were supposed to meet at four, and Zhou Yun had already allocated plenty of time for Tang Zhi Chu, but it was now half-past five.

Inside the elevator, Zhou Yun stood by the door, with Tang Zhi Chu behind her.

Zhou Yun's fashion sense was always quite bold, and Tang Zhi Chu felt too embarrassed to look at her.

She was wearing a sports bra on top and yoga pants on the bottom.

To put it plainly, her curves looked almost the same as if she weren't wearing anything, and the exposed skin was fair.

As the elevator doors opened, Zhou Yun suddenly said, "You didn't have to come if you didn't want to."

Tang Zhi Chu was taken aback. He was somewhat surprised, as this didn't sound like something Zhou Yun would say; it was too emotional.

However, Tang Zhi Chu still followed her.

The receptionist was also a pretty young woman. She was about to greet them enthusiastically but stopped, noticing her boss's unhappy expression.

At this time of day, the gym was crowded, but it was also quite large.

There were two areas: a regular area and a VIP area. In the regular area, most people were working out alone, primarily running. The treadmills had large screens in front, allowing users to watch shows.

The VIP area had more fitness equipment and fewer people. However, almost everyone had a personal trainer by their side, both male and female.

Zhou Yun's influence in this gym was greater than Tang Zhi Chu had imagined. He could sense the nervousness of the personal trainers when they saw her.

Zhou Yun led Tang Zhi Chu to the locker room and handed him a set of clothes.

Tang Zhi Chu thought to himself that his legs would be sore again this time.

Zhou Yun was very thoughtful; the clothes she gave Tang Zhi Chu fit him perfectly, just like the last set.

After changing and walking out of the locker room, Zhou Yun was leaning against the door, lost in thought.

Tang Zhi Chu spoke up first. "I'm sorry."

He felt he should apologize; he had indeed been late.

Zhou Yun waved her hand. "It's fine. I've created a detailed fitness plan for you based on your condition. Come with me if you want to work out."

Tang Zhi Chu naturally nodded. "Of course, I want to work out. Let's go."
