Time was tight and the tasks were heavy, with the weekend also occupied. This time, the Group Dance and Dance Drama were set against a backdrop of war. In the year when the Anti-Japanese War fully broke out, three schools were forced to migrate southward, merging to form a temporary university. In the following year, they moved west to Yun Cheng and were renamed the National Southwestern Associated University.
The National Southwest Associated University operated in Yun Cheng for eight years, cultivating a large number of outstanding talents and making significant contributions to education and the victory in the war. Now, a Dance Drama has been organized to present this theme, which is particularly valued by the department head and all the teachers due to its subject matter.
In recent days, Yun Li had been so busy that she couldn't think about anything else. On the weekend, Qin Nianchu was called out for dinner. Upon arrival at the venue, Qin Nianzhe asked where Yun Li was. Qin Nianchu, holding the menu, replied that Li Li was busy with rehearsals and couldn't make it.
Qin Nianchu looked at the three people at the table and asked, "What about Jiang Shiyu? Why isn't he here?" Zhang Yu responded, "Brother Yu has also been quite busy these past few days with school competitions." Qin Nianchu nodded in understanding.
After dinner, Qin Nianchu and Qin Nianzhe went to their maternal grandparents' house since there was no school. Meanwhile, Zhang Yu and Xu Jiaxing headed to an internet café to play games.
In the rehearsal hall, everyone practiced the movements as instructed by their teacher over and over again, memorizing them in their minds. During a break, Yun Li took a sip of water while slightly panting. She then picked up her phone; aside from a message from Qin Nianchu, there were no other notifications.
Yun Li lowered her gaze and took a deep breath, reminding herself not to let this affect her mood. He Lin Cheng approached her with a bottle of mineral water. "Yun Li," he said, "I noticed you seem a bit off today. Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing his voice, Yun Li looked up and smiled faintly. "No, I might just be too tired." He Lin Cheng advised her not to put too much pressure on herself and suggested that if she felt overwhelmed, she could try running with weights; he found it quite relieving.
Yun Li nodded in appreciation. "Thank you, Senior He." After rehearsals ended, she strapped on four-pound sandbags around her ankles and went to the playground to run. After completing two laps, she gradually slowed down; the cold air entering her lungs felt uncomfortable, bringing a stinging sensation along with heaviness.
Yun Li slowly walked around half a circle, and after regaining her composure, she headed back to the dormitory. Inside, only Zheng Yating was present, applying a face mask. Upon seeing Yun Li, she spoke with a sarcastic tone, "I thought you went on a date with Jiang Shiyu."
Yun Li felt her previously scattered emotions surge back up. Her voice turned hoarse and cold as she replied, "What I do is none of your business."
Bending down to untie the sandbag, Yun Li noticed that Zheng Yating didn't seem offended. Instead, she let out a sound and pulled out her phone to show Yun Li something.
"Jiang Shiyu is never short of admirers; you're no exception. He wouldn't care about you," Zheng Yating said.
Yun Li lifted her gaze to look at the screen. In the video, Jiang Shiyu was sitting in a bar with a woman. The woman said something that made him tilt his head to listen. Although the place was noisy and dimly lit with colorful lights, Yun Li could clearly see his expression.
He looked relaxed, smiling as he glanced at the woman beside him, causing her to shyly lower her head.
The video lasted only seven seconds, but Yun Li's body froze. A wave of coldness crept up from her previously heated skin. The chill made her tremble involuntarily. She blankly withdrew her gaze, maintaining a calm expression without any sign of change. Zheng Yating scrutinized her for a moment but couldn't detect anything unusual and turned back to continue scrolling on her phone.
Yun Li resumed untying the sandbag, then took apart the hair clip, hairnet, and hair tie. Picking up a comb, she smoothed out her hair before reaching for the makeup remover and cotton pads to start taking off her makeup.
