Chapter 276 - 185: Social Event Heat Card! A Special Opportunity
That would be a boon for the e-commerce industry and short-form video platforms alike. And if an opportunity for a "Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon" scenario presented itself, it wouldn’t be out of the question to give it a try.
And right now, this Little Sweet Heat Card was the perfect catalyst for creating such an opportunity.
He glanced at Xiaoju beside him, checking to see if she was a suitable candidate for the Little Sweet Heat Card.
[Current target is not suitable for the Little Sweet Heat Card!]
It didn’t work, just as he’d expected.
In that case, after thinking it over, he realized there was only one girl in all of Second-Life Star who was suitable for the Little Sweet Heat Card: Zhu Ling.
After all, the original Little Sweet from the other world was hailed online as the "most low-maintenance girlfriend." Zhu Ling was currently building a "Street Vendor Girl" persona, one who was helping her future boyfriend save up for the bride price—both angles that were sure to resonate with the public.
They both stood in direct opposition to the culture of exorbitant bride prices and materialism.
’So, she’s definitely the one.’
He had already promised Zhu Ling he would shoot a video to promote her. But now that this card had suddenly shown up, he was going to make this a truly massive push for her.
Just then, Li Suwan and the other dancer arrived. They had both changed into the dance outfits Chen Jincheng had bought for them. The other nine students who had auditioned earlier were also present, along with a few more people who were all slated to be backup dancers for the "Divination Dance" performance at the 40th-anniversary celebration.
Furthermore, thanks to the student union’s publicity department, word had spread that Chen Jincheng was teaching in this studio. A large crowd of students had gathered to watch the excitement.
When Li Suwan saw Chen Jincheng again, her eyes instinctively met his, and they exchanged a look that only the two of them could understand.
Seeing Chen Jincheng again, she felt her legs instinctively go weak. After all, he’d had her four times in a single night.
’He’s so virile... and what he did felt so incredible...’
Then, Li Suwan’s gaze fell on another woman, and she frowned. It was Director He’s niece, He Ya—her supposed "best friend."
He Fang hadn’t actually asked Chen Jincheng to replace Li Suwan with her niece. She simply told He Ya that she had asked and that he had refused.
However, she had still managed to secure a spot for her niece in the performance, giving her a chance to be on stage.
He Ya was fuming about this. ’Why on earth did Chen Jincheng have to insist on Li Suwan?’
But since things had come to this, she couldn’t let her true feelings show.
Seeing Li Suwan, she put on a warm smile and approached her, greeting her like a dear friend. "Suwan! I’m here to be your backup dancer. You’re definitely going to blow up after Chen Jincheng shoots your ’Divination Dance’ video today. Congratulations! I’m truly so happy for you."
Li Suwan felt sick to her stomach hearing those words. If she hadn’t overheard He Ya’s scheming beforehand, she might have actually believed she was her best friend.
If it weren’t for her, she never would have had to go to that hotel to find Chen Jincheng.
And even though what happened with Chen Jincheng had felt amazing—she even felt like she’d come out ahead in that exchange—it didn’t excuse the disgusting thing He Ya had done.
Still, right now she just wanted to focus on filming the "Divination Dance" without any drama. She didn’t want to make a scene. So, she simply smiled and said, "Ah Ya, thank you."
"We’re best friends! What is there to thank me for?" He Ya said, rushing to play up their close bond.
’It looks like Li Suwan is definitely going to blow up after shooting this ’Divination Dance’ with Chen Jincheng,’ she thought. ’Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to hope I can ride her coattails when she gets famous.’
’Good thing she doesn’t know what I did behind her back.’
He Fang then turned to Chen Jincheng. "Xiaochen, everyone’s here. How about you teach the dance, get the ’Divination Dance’ video filmed with Suwan and the other lead, and then they can teach the rest of the group?"
"Sounds good, Director He," Chen Jincheng said with a nod, and walked onto the stage.
Seeing him, He Fang called out to the others, "Everyone, please clear the stage."
At her words, everyone else stepped off, leaving only Chen Jincheng, Li Suwan, and Li Muxi on the stage.
Chen Jincheng looked at the teacher and the student before him. "Teacher Li, and you," he said, nodding to Li Muxi. "I’m going to perform the complete dance for you both. Then I’ll teach it to you, step by step."
Li Suwan and Li Muxi both nodded.
Just then, Vice-Principal Huang Yanfang walked in, accompanied by several other people.
He Fang rushed forward to greet them. The people with Principal Huang were committee members from the National Dance Association, who had been invited by the principal to attend the dance department’s 40th-anniversary gala the following night.
"Director He, what’s the situation?" Huang Yanfang asked immediately.
He Fang explained, "Principal Huang, Xiaochen is just about to demonstrate the complete ’Divination Dance’ for everyone."
"Then our timing is perfect." Huang Yanfang’s eyes lit up. She turned to her old friends and said, "Everyone, come take a look at a dance choreographed by one of our department’s most outstanding graduates."
A spark of interest was clearly visible in their eyes.
They had, of course, seen the online buzz surrounding Chen Jincheng and the Ganjiang University dance department. The "Divination Dance" hadn’t even been released yet, but it was already generating a huge amount of hype. It wasn’t just the general public who was excited; they were quite eager to see it themselves.
After all, his back-bending and hip-swiveling moves were truly masterful; even their own students and disciples struggled to execute them with absolute perfection.
Just then, the music for "Divination" began. Huang Yanfang immediately led her guests to the front of the stage, where they saw Xiaochen already lying on his back on the floor, capturing everyone’s attention.
As the music swelled, his waist seemed impossibly flexible. He rose to his feet with an ethereal grace, launching into a dance move that mimicked a woman, full of tender emotion, gently caressing her face.
This was a challenging move for many female dancers, yet here was a man executing it perfectly, fully embodying its delicate, feminine grace.
Crucially, this very contrast made him seem all the more captivatingly provocative.
And this "woman caressing her face" move alone, while perhaps not as iconic as the back bend and hip swivel, was absolutely stunning in its own right.
Huang Yanfang and the committee members from the National Dance Association watched with shining eyes.
The further he got into the dance, the more astounded they became. The Divination Dance he performed possessed the gentle beauty of traditional dance without sacrificing the power and creativity of modern styles. It was a masterful fusion of the traditional and the contemporary.
This alone was a testament to the choreographer’s profound skill.
The key was in the fluid steps and elegant movements, all designed to showcase the beauty of the female form, exuding pure seduction.
What shocked them, however, was that the person performing this dance was a man.
It was truly a startling sight.
They thought of that celebrity, Luo Xiaozhu, who had dared to mock his technique online. Once this "Divination" dance was uploaded, Luo Xiaozhu’s face would surely be burning with shame.
This dance wasn’t just technically brilliant; its level of artistry was off the charts.
The dance students, in particular, were completely dumbstruck. They had thought Chen Jincheng’s back bend and hip swivel were provocative before, but now, watching the complete dance, it felt like he had taken it to an entirely new level.
’How could a guy be so damn provocative?’
If he put on a dress and a wig, no one watching him dance would ever guess he was a man.
Li Suwan watched his every move with intense focus, her eyes growing brighter by the second. ’This Chen Jincheng is a true dance genius,’ she thought. ’His technique is incredible.’
Her admiration for him grew with every passing moment.
’Everyone hopes to find a partner who shares their passions and career,’ she mused. She had the strangest feeling that this Chen Jincheng was her perfect partner, at least in the world of dance. And on top of that, he could take her multiple times in one night, and so fiercely, too, making her truly experience the profound pleasures of being a woman.
’Honestly, if I were a little younger, and if he weren’t such a player, I would shamelessly throw myself at him and try to be his partner for life.’
Finally, as the music faded, Chen Jincheng executed the final step of the "Divination Dance," bringing the performance to a close.
"Incredible, Xiaochen!" Huang Yanfang couldn’t help but praise, applauding as she spoke. "Based on this performance alone, I’d say that aside from Suwan, it would be hard to find anyone in our entire department with better technique than you."
The other committee members from the National Dance Association applauded just as generously, wholeheartedly agreeing with Huang Yanfang’s assessment.
On the strength of this dance alone, he was qualified to receive a certification as a dance expert from the National Dance Association.
In fact, this performance was good enough to be included in the curriculum of any dance academy in the country.
