"Don't move." Shen Xunye's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of command.
He pressed his free hand against Chi Li's knees, easily suppressing his struggle.
Shen Xunye's hands were steady. The white ointment was evenly applied to every inch of the reddened skin as the cotton swab moved, leaving a cool and moist residue.
The cooling sensation gradually seeped in, beginning to neutralize the burning and scorching feeling on the skin's surface, bringing a strange, soothing comfort.
Shen Xunye applied the color very carefully, not even missing the slightly lighter transition areas at the very edges.
His gaze remained focused, his expression calm, as if he were doing something perfectly ordinary that required careful attention.
Only his tightly pursed lips and the fingers that occasionally paused slightly to adjust their strength when Chi Li trembled slightly revealed a hint of almost deliberate restraint.
A blush gradually rose to Chi Li's face. He felt like a delicate, fragile doll who had lost his autonomy.
Forced to expose the body's most hidden wounds, allowing the perpetrator to leisurely carry out the subsequent 'repair' and 'marking' in this way.
Chi Li was still late.
When he arrived at the dance studio, everyone else had already finished their warm-up exercises.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything, but told Chi Li to go warm up on the side first.
Then, he looked at Shen Xunye and said coldly, "Students from other classes, please don't corrupt the outstanding students in my class."
[ Jiang Yue's expression was exactly the same as my high school homeroom teacher's when he found out the top student was dating, hahaha.]
[Excellent students often have a rebellious heart, hmm.]
[Actually, the students from this other class are quite good. [laughs]]
"Teacher Jiang, I was just passing by and helped one of your outstanding students." Shen Xunye leaned lazily against the wall, looking every bit like a delinquent. "Without me, he might not have even been able to attend class today."
"Get out." Chi Li stepped forward and gave Shen Xunye the order to leave.
Shen Xunye was speechless, but dared not argue, and could only leave dejectedly.
The afternoon dance practice was more difficult and physically demanding than the morning vocal exercises.
Even though Jiang Yue had prepared for some people to give up, he hadn't expected that after only an hour, people would start shouting.
"I can't take it anymore!" Jiang Lele collapsed to the ground like a liquid. "I can feel my bones creaking..."
Once someone starts, others immediately follow.
"I'm a vocalist!" Wei Xuan slumped back down, "This kind of high-intensity training is still too much for me."
The others, though not sitting down, were all panting heavily, looking like they had reached their limit.
"It was my fault for not thinking it through." Jiang Yue didn't blame them. "I was only thinking of letting you experience my life for a day... I didn't consider the specifics. How about this, let's stop here for today and continue later. We'll increase the training volume each day to give you a chance to adapt."
Chen Anyan: "Does this mean that we originally only needed to train for one day, but now we have to train for seven days?"
The rest of the people. "?"
"That's right." Jiang Yue nodded responsibly. "Now that we've started, we should do our best to do it well."
[Hahahahahahaha!]
Teacher Jiang is such a responsible and good teacher!!
[Teacher Jiang tried to share her schedule, but unexpectedly, no one could follow along and finish it.]
[One day of torture turned into seven days, that's hilarious!]
The person who came up with this rental membership system is a genius; I'm already looking forward to seeing what tricks the next rental member will pull.
[In comparison, Shen Qiang is still quite kind.]
"I think I can still hold on." Jiang Lele got up from the ground, leaning on Chen Anyan to barely stand. "Let's stick to the original plan..."
"Yes, the original arrangement was fine."
"You've come all this way, don't waste your time teaching us."
"Yes, yes, we've arranged lots of games."
Everyone chimed in, trying to persuade Jiang Yue to retract his decision.
But the impartial and strict teacher Jiang said, "Training is like playing a game, and besides, it's not a waste. I really hope we can improve together."
Everyone: "..."
We all need to improve together; to shirk this responsibility would be inhuman.
They had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree with unwavering confidence.
After dismissing the others, Jiang Yue kept Chi Li behind.
"I told you before about the collaboration." He pulled the person to sit down on the floor of the dance studio and casually turned on his laptop. "These are three options; take a look and see which one you like."
He wasn't in a hurry to collaborate with Chi Li.
Although he doesn't have the disease of being a top star, he is well aware that, apart from those on his 'rival' list and those of equal status, basically no one will refuse the olive branch he extends.
But Chi Li's popularity has skyrocketed so quickly that if we wait any longer, we don't know how long we'll have to wait in line.
"They're all dance music?" Chi Li deduced from the song titles and clicked on the first song.
"Yes, I just want to dance with you."
As the music played, Jiang Yue began to introduce some of the subtle designs and clever ideas hidden in the song. After the introduction, she briefly demonstrated the choreography.
He is sincere, capable, and popular.
Chi Li had no reason to refuse this collaboration.
"I'll tell you which song we'll choose later, secretly." Chi Li happily finalized the collaboration, "I'll keep it a secret from the audience for now."
Jiang Yue shrugged and spread his hands at the camera. "Then you can only look forward to the final product."
[How come Chi Li is so lucky? First Shen Qiang, then Jiang Yue, and even her casual couple pairings are of high quality...]
[ Shen Xunye: Don't I even deserve a name?]
[Because they're outstanding, they seem to have a lucky life, right?]
[That's right, getting involved with my wife is just because they're lucky.]
I'm so excited about my wife's bright future that I can't sleep.
[And what about Shen Xunye? Aside from piggybacking on my wife's promotional appearance, he hasn't done anything else...]
[This man lives off his wife! [Angry]]
With his connections, he could easily live off a woman, hahaha.
[While I appreciate strong personalities, this kind of husband who isn't good at earning money but is very at providing excellent service is also wonderful.]
[Details of how the service was provided. [Nosebleed]]
The live stream ended at 10 PM.
After taking a shower, Chi Li wrapped the coat she was wearing over her pajamas tighter and knocked on Shen Xunye's door.
This guy is withholding the ointment; he'll have to come back if he needs it.
Absolutely shameless.
The door was quickly pulled open from the inside. Shen Xunye and made no attempt to seduce him.
He pulled Chi Li inside and quickly locked the door from the inside.
